Qiguan Yuan looked at the faint dark circles under Pei Yubai's eyes and roughly guessed the reason.
His insomnia may be related to himself.
Qiguan Yuan was still the Yue Lao when he was alive, and he would tie red threads every day until he stepped down.
Matchmaking can be done during the day, but he doesn't like doing it during the day.
The daylight is too bright, and the lines he draws don't look good enough, so he prefers to draw them at night.
The line stretched out from under the moon, bathed in moonlight, soft and luminous.
As Nine-Tailed Fox, he really liked those soft, shiny lines.
However, he would never go alone; he would always take Yun Yin with him.
Over time, Yun Yin's sleep schedule was also disrupted by him; he slept during the day and was awake at night.
Even without Pei Yubai's awareness, this habit continued; a biological clock that has lasted for thousands of years is not so easy to change.
Pei Yubai had to work during the day, so he could only catch up on sleep during his free time.
This led him to mistakenly believe that he had insomnia.
Qiguan Yuan reached out and placed his fingers on the back of Pei Yubai's hand. Pei Yubai's fingers twitched slightly, then he turned his hand over and grasped Qi Guanyuan's fingers.
Qiguan Yuan didn't break free, and just let him hold her.
Pei Yubai turned to the side, his face facing Qiguan Yuan.
His hand slid from Qiguan Yuan's fingers to his wrist, then from his wrist to his waist, gently closing around him. He buried his face in Qiguan Yuan's waist and abdomen, inhaling the faint, cool fragrance emanating from him.
"Yuanyuan," his voice muffled by Qiguan Yuan's clothes, sounding somewhat indistinct, "I can only fall asleep when I'm with you. I've suffered from insomnia since I was a child."
Qiguan Yuan's hand stopped on the back of Pei Yubai's head.
Not long after Qiguan Yuan took over the messy Thread of Fate of the Tree of Fate, his technique for connecting the threads was still not very skilled.
Once, he pulled the wrong two threads. The red thread that should have been given to A was given to B, the thread that should have been given to B was given to C, and the thread that should have been given to C was given to A.
Three people, three storylines, everything's a mess. By the time he realized it, it was too late; the three of them had already begun a complicated and tangled emotional entanglement, causing a huge uproar.
He squatted on the Tree of Fate, looking at the three intertwined threads, his tail wriggling behind him in annoyance.
Yun Yin stood under the tree, looking up at him, and watched him all night.
As dawn broke, Yun Yin said, " Yuanyuan, come down first."
Qiguan Yuan jumped down from the tree, and Yun Yin took the red thread from his hand and straightened it out for him one by one.
Qiguan Yuan watched Yun Yin's fingers dance across the red thread and suddenly asked, "Why don't you ever pull the wrong one?"
"Because I'll clean up your mess. Yuanyuan, nothing is worth your worry. I'll take care of everything."
So, Qiguan Yuan naturally slept during the day and acted as matchmaker at night.
Yun Yin stayed with him, unable to sleep during the day or at night.
Later, he couldn't stand it any longer, so he jumped down from the tree, dusted off his robes, and said, "Then we'll sleep together from now on."
I can only fall asleep next to him.
It was probably because his body remembered Qiguan Yuan's aura.
Qiguan Yuan's hand stopped on Pei Yubai's head. "Go to sleep."
Pei Yubai buried his face between his waist and abdomen, rubbing against him.
His fingers were still resting on Qiguan Yuan's waist, and through the thin fabric, he could feel Qiguan Yuan's body temperature.
Pei Yubai slowly rubbed his finger against it.
Qiguan Yuan's eyes drooped, and his eyelashes trembled.
His lower back is a bit sensitive.
Previously, when Pei Yubai applied medicine to him, he had to endure it each time to avoid flinching.
Now, Pei Yubai simply placed his hand on his waist and gently rubbed it, and he felt the itch spread from his waist to his back, and from his back to the back of his neck.
His ears popped out, and the tips twitched slightly.
Its tail also emerged, and two tails covered Pei Yubai's body.
Pei Yubai's fingers brushed against each other again.
Qiguan Yuan's waist tensed slightly. He reached down, grasped Pei Yubai's wrist, and moved his hand away from his waist, placing it on the couch.
Pei Yubai's hand was pressed onto the couch by him, and he didn't move, his fingers slightly curled.
"If you're not going to sleep, then get out of here. You're being naughty, Pei Yubai."
Pei Yubai's face was still buried between his waist and abdomen, his voice muffled. "Sleep. Yuanyuan, I want to sleep."
Qiguan Yuan waited for a while, but Pei Yubai did not move.
His breath was light, light and gentle, brushing against Qiguan Yuan's waist and abdomen, making him feel ticklish.
Qiguan Yuan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist reaching out and touching Pei Yubai's head.
Pei Yubai nudged him again.
Qiguan Yuan took a deep breath.
He felt he probably shouldn't have let him come up; the skin on his waist was already warmed by Pei Yubai's breath, the heat seeping through the thin fabric like a warm mist, making him feel weak and limp.
Pei Yubai's breathing gradually became heavier.
Qiguan Yuan glanced down and saw that Pei Yubai closed, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes.
Qiguan Yuan watched for a while, then pulled the thin blanket over and covered Pei Yubai with it.
Pei Yubai stirred, burying his face even deeper between Qiguan Yuan and abdomen, his nose brushing against his clothes, and he made a muffled sound.
" Yuanyuan."
Qiguan Yuan's fingers slid down his hair and stopped on his earlobe.
Pei Yubai's ears were no longer red; their color was very light when he was asleep.
Qiguan Yuan did not move again. He leaned back on the couch, his silver hair cascading over his shoulders and down his chest.
I picked up a book at random to pass the time.
The sky outside the window grew darker, and the light gradually dimmed, turning into a grayish-blue.
The room was dark; the light dimmed, changing from bright to soft, and from soft to dim.
Qiguan Yuan's eyes slowly adjusted to the light. He looked at Pei Yubai's face, at his relaxed brows and closed eyelashes.
Pei Yubai was very quiet when he was asleep.
He hasn't changed much.
Qiguan Yuan recalled the day Yun Yin disappeared.
Yun Yin was covered in blood, and gradually lost her warmth in his arms.
Because he couldn't bear to Qiguan Yuan sad, he didn't even want to show any sign of pain in front of Qiguan Yuan.
He looked sadly at Qiguan Yuan's fluffy white tail, now stained with his blood.
His Yuanyuan should be a clean, inviolable little fox.
Yun Yin was in Qiguan Yuan, just like when she was asleep on any other day.
If it weren't for his body gradually growing cold.
It even began to dissipate.
The despair of losing Yun Yin resurfaced in Qiguan Yuan's heart. He lowered his head and gently kissed his lips.
Countless times I've forgotten, only to remember again.
It will only make that memory more unforgettable.
It even penetrates to the bone marrow.
Fortunately, he used almost everything he had to save him.
Yun Yin, Pei Yubai.
I found you. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to get what I wanted.
