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 passes 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 embarrassed .
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 . ”
