Chapter 504 - 333: An Angel Comes to Chang’an
The next morning dawned. A gentle, invigorating breeze carried a faint fragrance of orchids through the cool air, refreshing the spirit.
Ran Yan had just risen from her bed and had not yet dressed up when someone came to ask Xiao Song to go to the ancestral temple.
Xiao Song was still asleep. Ever since the old lady had passed away, he had barely closed his eyes, sleeping no more than an hour or two each day. Coupled with the exertion of accompanying the coffin back to his hometown, he had finally fallen into a deep sleep. Ran Yan felt reluctant to wake him, but a person standing in such a position must possess equal capability, otherwise, they would eventually collapse. And Xiao Song was undoubtedly someone who could withstand the pressure.
"Husband." Ran Yan gently pushed him.
"Hmm?" Xiao Song turned over, and after regaining a bit of consciousness in a few moments, he sat up. He had been sleeping lightly these days and had woken up when the maid came with the message.
Ran Yan took the plain clothes from the screen and helped him put them on, "It seems they are dealing with Chun Lai."
Such a morning, and Ran Yan’s gestures softened Xiao Song’s heart, greatly relaxing him.
Being strong for too long, so tiring.
In the past, when he was alone, he never felt hardship. Everything was relative; there is hardness because of softness, joy because of sorrow. Compared to before, he was keenly aware of the weakness deeply hidden in his heart, wrapped in layers, untouched, but still, he preferred this present.
Xiao Song rested his head against Ran Yan’s abdomen, enjoying the intimate care of his wife.
