Let the villain go - chapter 16

The slight night light hit Ye Peitian’s side face, it looked weak and pale. The dark circles under his eyes were due to lack of sleep, but those eyes were slightly open from beginning to end. The moist eyes shined.

Except for when he was in a coma, Chu Qianxun had never seen him close his eyes.

Ye Peitian’s forehead was a little hot, and was suffering from a low fever. But he seemed to support himself stubbornly and refused to close his eyes.

Chu Qianxun hesitated and reached out to touch Ye Peitian’s soft hair. She knew that this man was afraid of darkness. Even in the other parallel world, his symptoms took a long time to be relieved.

“Sleep for a while, I had never seen you sleep,” she said.

Ye Peitian didn’t like to sleep. Sleep gave him only endless darkness and endless nightmares.

Usually he only closed his eyes slightly when he couldn’t hold it. The pain of lack of sleep for many years made his temper become more irritable.

Killing was his only way of soothing it. He gradually lost patience and no longer showed mercy to anyone who had violated him. His name as a half-demon spread far.

In such an unfamiliar environment, that too beside strangers, he was even less likely to let himself fall asleep.

A soft hand reached down and touched his head gently, “There is light here, and it will light up all night. I’ll be with you, it’s okay, you can rest assured.”

Ye Peitian suddenly remembered a memory of a very long ago.

He was still very young at the time, and he was feverish and cold all over, lying on the folding bed in the living room of the house.

There was no light in the living room, it was very dark. Then a bright light from the bedroom came out, and a rectangular light was projected on the dark ground.

In that bright room, the stepmother sat next to his brother’s bed and touched his head patiently comforting his brother who also had a fever.

The little boy curled up in the dark, looking at the bright and warm bedroom. A strong desire rushed in his heart. He was eager to see someone reach out and touch his head like that, to comfort him who was equally in pain.

However, until the boy became a man and experienced all the misery in the world, the humble desire that was buried deep in his childhood was suddenly realized.

At this moment, there was a person sitting on the edge of the bed who extended a warm hand to him.

His eyes closed little by little, his long lashes no longer jittered, his breathing smoothed down, and finally he entered a peaceful sleep.

In a trance, he always seemed to hear a soft voice talking to him constantly,

Go to sleep, sleep with confidence, I’m there.

In his sleep, he couldn’t remember who that person was, but somehow he really calmed down and let himself sink into a peaceful sleep.

Ye Peitian slept deeply and had no dreams, nor did he wake up halfway.

Early in the morning, he woke up from a deep sleep. His heart pounded as he looked around. He was somewhat at a loss.

He found himself lying in a narrow and unfamiliar room. There was a person sitting beside him on the bed. The person was leaning against the wall at the head of the bed, slumping her head and sleeping soundly.

A faint skylight projected from the window, sprinkled on the person with the coolness of the morning.

She looked beautiful. Her lips were slightly open, and she slept very relaxedly.

This was a girl who had friends, companions, and lived in the sun. She was young and simple, and she was not wary of demons like him.

She and him were living in two different worlds.

Ye Peitian gently extended his hand from the bedding. He finally had an arm that could be used. The new skin on his hand was pale and transparent, and the pale blue blood vessels could be clearly seen.

His hand reached to the person who was asleep, paused for a moment as he looked at her affectionately for a long time. He finally curled his fingers back slowly.

When Chu Qianxun woke up, there was no one on the bed beside her.

The bed was already cold. She didn’t know how long it had been since the man had gone.
