Ye Chen gave a bitter smile.
"Yeah, I'm also glad I still had the chance to come back here."
Bintoya suddenly changed the subject.
"However, Mr. Ye Chen, you seem to be carrying some worries today."
Ye Chen froze at her words, clearly not expecting her to notice that.
"Huh? How could you tell?"
Smiling, Bintoya explained:
"When I came to your side just now, you were asleep with your brows tightly furrowed. You looked as though you were having some sort of nightmare, completely unlike how you usually were when you came here before."
"So I couldn't help stroking your head, just like I would comfort the little children at the orphanage when they couldn't sleep. I hope you don't mind."
"Fortunately, your expression gradually began returning to normal afterward. It seems this method really was somewhat effective after all~"
At that, Ye Chen's expression changed again, his mind instantly recalling that strange scene from his dream.

The young man fell silent for several seconds before slowly nodding.
"So that's how it was."
"Thank you for your kindness."
"However, Bintoya, haven't I said before that, as a nun, touching someone in a situation like this is entirely inappropriate?"
Still smiling, Bintoya replied:
"It's all right. When I was in contact with you, Mr. Ye Chen, nobody else was around, so you needn't worry at all about any rumors spreading."
After not seeing each other for such a long time, Bintoya was clearly much more relaxed and at ease around Ye Chen than before. There was almost no longer any reserve or distance in their conversation.
"Uh, that's not the issue at all, is it..."
Ye Chen muttered helplessly. Honestly, he found that exchange just now rather "dangerous."
"So, Mr. Ye Chen, what is troubling you now?"
Bintoya folded
