That night, He Kao still sat by the bed watching Gao Xue'e fall asleep, as if under his gaze, Gao Xue'e could feel at peace.
There was a time when Gao Xue'e was clearly pretending to sleep. Even though her eyes were closed and her breathing was steady, He Kao knew she wasn't asleep... It wasn't until he was sure she was sound asleep that he gently placed her hand, which had been holding his, back under the blanket.
We can't keep doing this, if it becomes a habit over time, how can we sleep normally in the future? But right now... with his current state, it's better to practice the Insect Concealment Skill.
He Kao felt that what Gao Xue'e needed now was something, which was the Beast Claw Pendant he had worn since he was a child. Not to mention its ability to detect malice, it at least had the effect of calming the spirit and settling the qi.
The pendant had been borrowed by Senior Lin Qingshuang, so he'll wait until it's returned to talk about it.
