Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Hu Yan’s True Feelings

After a while, Xuan Long’s body slowly relaxed against hers. His breathing evened out slowly, brushing lightly against her collarbone.

Su Qinglan looked down.

His face was resting against her bare shoulder, his long lashes fanning his cheeks, his expression soft like a sleeping child who finally found comfort.

For a moment, she just stared at him quietly. Her chest ached for him. She could guess he was afraid of something, but what it was, she had no idea. And suddenly, she did not want to leave him.

He looked so peaceful now. She didn’t have the heart to wake him up.

"Sleep..." she murmured softly.

She tried to move him a little, just to lay him down properly on the stone bed, but he didn’t let go. His arms stayed around her even in his sleep.

A small, helpless smile came to her lips.

"Even asleep, you don’t let go..." she whispered.

With a soft sigh, she gave up and carefully lay down beside him. Hu Yan was already lying on the other side, still sleeping soundly.

So now, the three of them ended up lying awkwardly on the same bed... one tiger, one snake, and one female in the middle.

Xuan Long’s arms were still wrapped around her waist, refusing to leave her.

She was too tired to fight it. Her eyelids were heavy, her body weak, and slowly, she too drifted into sleep.

The cave turned quiet again. Only the soft wind from the entrance and the sound of slow breathing filled the air.

After a long while, Xuan Long’s eyes opened slightly. He looked at her sleeping face, her lashes resting like feathers on her cheeks.

Something warm flickered in his chest.

He didn’t move. He just tightened his hold a little, resting his head closer to her chest like a pitiful man seeking warmth.

Then he closed his eyes again, a small sigh escaping his lips.

And in that silent cave, the two of them slept like that, wrapped in each other’s quiet warmth, while the moon outside slowly climbed higher in the dark sky.

Su Qinglan woke up suddenly in the total dark. The air was cool in the cave, but she felt incredibly hot, almost sweating right there.

She was pressed against something very warm and solid, and a hot breath was fanning against her cheek.

And soon her heart dropped as she realized that the something hot sliding right down her bare shoulder was tears.
