Jiang Yang was worried about Nixxxie. He wanted her to relax and stay away from the worry as her mother was already safe but being in the room there would only make her feel even more worried and she wouldn't be able to take a rest.
From what he saw, he thought there was a need for her to take proper rest as she already spent more of her time in hospital being with her mother alone for the past few days.
Nixxxie agreed to what he said and strode towards the bed but before she could climb it, she asked, "And you?"
"Don't worry about me. You sleep here and I will be back in sometime after taking a look at your mother." Saying it he left the room.
Nixxxie lied down in the small bed that was enough for only one person to sleep comfortably.
When Jiang Yang returned, he saw Nixxxie was asleep. Covering her in a quilt, he left the room and went to his cabin. He sat on his chair and closed his eyes while leaning back into it to sleep.
Even after trying hard, Jiang Yang couldn't sleep. He grabbed the bottle from his table and had a few sips of water. Suddenly he thought to take a look at Nixxxie and when he went inside, Nixxxie was crying while sleeping in a bed.
Stepping forward, he called her, "Nixxxie! Are you okay?"
She looked at him with her teary eyes but couldn't answer him so he asked again, "Nightmare?"
She shook her head to say 'No'.
"Are you hurt somewhere?"
She shook her head again to say 'No."
"Does someone said anything to make you cry?"
Again he got the same reaction from her so he was worried to see her cry without any reason.
Then?" He asked.
"I don't know," she replied as not knowing why she was crying and sat up in a bed.
Hearing it, Jiang Yang understood what was the reason for her crying. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he said, "It happens when you are tired emotionally so I think it's fine."
He could see that Nixxxie was tired of all the things going around her in her family. At such a young age she was facing the brutal reality of the world where greed for money and power can destroy someone's life.
The age when she had to live her life having fun, she was going through the hardship of life. She was alone with no one to lean on. Her family was not hers except for her mother. She was the money bag for her others which they didn't want to let go of from their hands. Jiang Yang wanted to be the one to take care of her and the one she could lean on.
Nixxxie hugged Jiang yang as feeling like he was the solution for all her worries and started to cry again. Jiang Yang hugged her back letting her cry. Once she was done, he offered her water to drink. She drank it and passed the bottle back to him.
Keeping the bottle back on the coffee table, Jiang Yang looked at her while standing near the table and said, "Sleep now. You already cried a lot and now your brain needs a rest or tomorrow you will have a headache."
She heard him but instead of sleeping, she was looking at him.
Understanding the reason for her stare he said, "Don't worry. I would be sitting here." Saying it he sat in one of the chairs around the coffee table.
She was still looking at him so he asked, "Do you want me to go out?"
She shook her head but as saying 'No' still looking at him. Jiang Yang didn't ask anything further and stood up from the chair. Taking out his white doctor apron and keeping it on one chair, he stepped towards the bed and sat beside her being ready to sleep.
"This bed is very small so we have to adjust a bit. There won't be a space between us or the next moment I would be on the floor." He said, adjusting himself on the bed.
Nixxxie was happy to see how he understood her without saying a single word. Shifting a bit back, Nixxxie made a space for him as much as she could. The bed meant for only one person was now going to accommodate two people.
"Lie down, I will cover you with this." He said while holding a quilt in his hands.
Nixxxie lied down while adjusting herself in a small space to keep enough space for him. Jiang Yang covered her with a quilt and lied down beside her. Both were sleeping while facing the ceiling and there was not an inch of space between them.
"Don't hesitate to turn and hug me if you want." He said.br>Nixxxie turned on her one side facing him. Jiang Yang could sense her gaze on him and turned his face to look at her. "Close your eyes. I told you already, you need to sleep."
She nodded and closed her eyes. Jiang Yang turned to face her and hugged her. Nixxxie didn't hesitate and hugged him back while burying her head in his chest. Jiang Yang continued patting her with a smile on his face and his eyes closed.
He was the kind of person to understand when and what the person in front of him needed the most. He could understand Nixxxie too and did what could make her happy. Moreover, he was happy too.
Jiang Yang woke up early morning while Nixxxie was still sleeping with her hand surrounded him. taking her hand off from him, Jiang yang slowly got down from the bed and smiled to look at her, "Still a kid." Saying it he left to freshen up and later went to his cabin.
when Nixxxie woke up, she saw he was not there. stepping out of the bed, she opened the door of the room to look for him in his cabin.
