Bai Chen noticed that Lin Jingchen did look a little tired.
But seeing how he insisted on staying, Bai Chen patted his hospital bed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why... why don't you come up here? This bed is big enough for two."
Lin Jingchen glanced at Bai Chen's leg and declined with a smile. "It's fine. I'm afraid you won't be comfortable."
Bai Chen stared at Lin Jingchen, furrowed his brows, and patted the bed harder, ordering in a tone that brooked no argument, "No. Get up here and sleep right now." After a moment's thought, he turned his head away and added, his face slightly flushed, "I want you to hold me while I sleep. Can't you?"
Lin Jingchen said nothing.
It was Lin Jingchen's first time seeing Bai Chen act so coy, and he wasn't quite used to it. He knew Bai Chen was saying it deliberately, but it still made him so happy.
So cute.
After a brief hesitation, he said, "All right."
Then he slowly lay down on the half of the bed Bai Chen had left for him. Sharing the same pillow, he lay on his side and gazed at Bai Chen, utterly smitten.
Bai Chen turned onto his side too, taking the opportunity to burrow into Lin Jingchen's arms.
"Go to sleep." A soft, slightly husky voice sounded beside his ear.
"Mm."
Over the course of a month, Bai Chen recovered from his injuries, and Lin Jingchen stayed there with him for the entire month.
A month later, Bai Chen finished his studies two months ahead of schedule and made arrangements to return home for his sister Bai Chichi's wedding.
Bai Chen stopped by G University first, then bought plane tickets to S City with Lin Jingchen.
