He is almost annoyed to laughs, but seeing how tired Ah Zhao is in the lantern light, he can't bring himself to be so hard-hearted to her and argue with her after all.

"Thank you a lot for your understanding and sympathy, Princess." Zhao Yin says with clenched teeth.

Ah Zhao beams: "No problem."

After that, neither of them speaks again.

Ah Zhao isn't scared any more and she falls sound asleep in no time.

Zhao Yin is mindful of what's happening at Ah Zhao's side. Noticing her even breath, he can already imagine what the person on the bed looks like right now without looking at her.

She must be wrapping herself tight with the quilt, sleeping on her side and huddling all up. Perhaps she opens her mouth a little bit and one can catch a glimpse of her tempting red little tongue.

Zhao Yin suddenly realizes what he's thinking about and his face changes.

What, what he is thinking about is so out of line!

He gives his head a hard shake and closes his eyes, forcing himself to sleep.

But this night is not going to be peaceful.

Ah Zhao is woken up by coldness.

The autumn nigh is cold. The wet and cool air creeps through the quilt that's not much help and under her cover. It goes up her feet and makes her quiver all over. She wakes up completely in an instant.

Ah Zhao turns over and huddles herself up tighter, trying to fall asleep again.

But that doesn't help.

She is more awake with every second pa.s.ses when she tries to fall asleep.

She steals a secret look at Zhao Yin and sees him lying on his back, relaxed and sound asleep.

Ah Zhao thus feels it is unfair.

She talks to herself in whispers: "Who am I here for? Now I am the one who's getting all the suffering. I can't even get any sleep and you are sound asleep."

"Cotton candy. Cotton candy." Ah Zhao calls for the system, wanting to have it talk to her.

But Cotton candy says that it is hurt by what she said during daytime and refuses to talk to her.

Ah Zhao's heart is filled with misery.

She sits upright with the quilt in her arms and stares blankly at the light yellow palace lantern.

She sighs in depression every few minutes.

"What are you doing?" A sound that is still with a trace of sleepiness reaches Ah Zhao.

Zhao Yin is woken up while he is still in a sleepy state. He opens his eyes. Looking over, he sees that his Princess is not sleeping and he doesn't know what she is sitting there for.

Ah Zhao looks at him, and she still has the grievance in her, so she decides not to talk to him.

Zhao Yin wants to close his eyes and keep sleeping, and not bother about what is happening with her. But after a while, he hears her sighing.

He has no choice but to sit up: "Is there something on your mind, Princess?"

Ah Zhao shakes her head.

"Then what is with all this sadness?"

Ah Zhao looks at the quilt that's on her and sighs again: "It's cold. I couldn't sleep."

Zhao Yin: "…"

The chamber sinks into awkwardness.

After some time, Zhao Yin gets out of the couch and throws his quilt onto the bed.

He gets back onto the couch and lies on it without any quilt on.

Ah Zhao looks at him with surprise: "You are giving me the quilt?"

Zhao Yin raises his eyebrows and glances at her: "What else would it be? If you are going to sigh all night long, neither of us is going to have any sleep tonight."

Ah Zhao is quite diffident: "But with a weather like this, you are going to catch a cold sleeping without a quilt."

Zhao Yin says calmly: "Don't worry. This weather isn't cold enough to get me sick yet."

If it's really like that, Ah Zhao thinks to herself, she is taking a big advantage of the male lead.

She feels a little embarra.s.sed.

Therefore, she says: "How about you sleep in the bed as well?"

Hearing that, Zhao Yin's heart skips a bit.

He looks at Ah Zhao, while trying very hard to ignore his increasingly faster heartbeat, and pretends to be calm: "What did you say?"

At that moment, Ah Zhao comes to realize what she said was a little misleading.

She coughs slightly and says in an indifferent voice: "Don't take me wrong. I just think that it will be a big trouble if either of us gets sick in this cold palace."
