At that moment, a great sense of security surged within me.

I walked to the side of his bed and squatted down. I quietly leaned against the side of the bed and looked at him. It had a great calming effect on me.

But that was all I dared to do. I didn’t dare to climb into his bed for fear of alarming him.

I was not sure how long I had been crouching there, when in the middle of the night, Dongyu was awakened by the call of wild cats outside the window.

He turned over, and then seemed to have heard the sound of my shallow breathing. He opened his eyes and saw me.

“You…”

.

He was surprised. “Why aren’t you in your own room?”

The moment he asked this, I burst into tears and cried, “There’s a ghost in my room… I’m scared…”

Dongyu was stunned.

Under the moonlight that had spilled in through the window, and I could clearly see his amused expression.

“Silly, where would a ghost come from?”

“I’m scared! I feel like there are ghosts under the bed, outside the window, and outside the door. It’s like there are countless eyes staring at me!”

My exaggerated description so amused Dongyu that he didn’t quite know how to react.

However, he knew that it would be useless to reason with me about these supernatural things.

Hence, he smiled and made s.p.a.ce for me.

I was stumped for a moment.

When he saw my stunned expression, he asked playfully, “Do you plan to squat here all night?”

“Of course not…”

He gently patted the empty s.p.a.ce next to him, looking a little helpless. “Come up here and sleep.”

I was a little worried and embarra.s.sed as well.

“If Mom comes to wake you up in the morning and sees us sleeping on the same bed, she’ll give me another good hiding.”

Dongyu was nonchalant. “You’re so mischievous, it’s not like you’ve never been scolded.”

I thought what he said made sense, hence I climbed onto the bed.

Dongyu covered me with the blanket and said, “Mom is right. We are all grown up now. We can’t sleep in the same bed.”

“Why?” I was confused. “Isn’t it good, how it used to be?”

I turned back to look at him, but saw that his expression was odd. He seemed to be avoiding the question. “I’ll wake you early tomorrow morning,” he said dryly. “Go back to your room before they get up.”

“Then… what about in the future?”

I smiled especially wickedly. “Let’s do the same in the future. I’ll sneak into your room and sleep with you. Then I’ll go back to my room in the morning.”

“Hurry up and go to sleep.” He still didn’t answer my question directly. Instead, he gently patted my head before putting his arms around me and falling asleep.

When I looked up, I saw his closed eyes.

Her long eyelashes were drawn down, they were dark and thick.

I wrapped my arms around him too, feeling safe and secure all night.

However, in the morning, the pain of waking came.

After Dongyu woke me up to drive me back to my room. I got up unwillingly, as though I was made of iron and the bed was made of magnets.

He got impatient as he mumbled to himself and groped his way back to his room.

By daybreak, I naturally was no longer afraid of those monsters. I lay on the bed and slept soundly.

Since then, at night, after Mom and Dad had both fallen asleep, Dongyu would come to my room.

And just like when we were little, the both of us would sleep on the same bed and share the same blanket.

This situation continued until after I entered junior high and my body underwent p.u.b.erty. I also began to understand the differences between a man and a woman.
