Song Luan's sleeping habit seemed to have improved. The next day when she woke up, she found that her whole body was wrapped around him.

Zhao Nanyu was still not awake, so she gently took back her legs and feet, slowly retreating from his arms.

Song Luan's eyes focused on the man in front of her. The corner of his eyes had a tint of blue and black, as if he hadn't had a good sleep for a long time. She stretched out her fingers and stroke his eyebrows and eyes, and it gradually fell on his thin lips.

His eyelashes are long and curly, his nose, eyes and mouth are delicate. His face is a kind of morbid white.

His collar was slightly open and his collarbone was visibly seen.

It was still dark outside the window, and only a faint light could be seen in the distance.

Song Luan was just about to take her hand back, when the man suddenly opened his eyes and held her fingers. His dim eyes gradually became clear, and his deep and magnetic voice flowed into her ears. "Why did you wake up so early? Did you have a nightmare?"

Song Luan took her fingers back, looked at him, and shook her head, "No."

Zhao Nanyu got up. Even though the room was dark, he didn't put on the light. After putting on his clothes, he turned to her and said, "It's still early. You can sleep more."

Song Luan's eyes did not move away from him. He was a lot thinner than before, and his long clothes looked a little empty on his body. Looking at his back, she suddenly said, "Are you going to the court?"

"Not yet." Zhao Nanyu explained to her in a low voice, "But I'll be back soon after I go out to work."

Song Luan got up slowly from the bed. She licked her mouth and explained to Zhao Nanyu, "I'm hungry. I'll get up and have breakfast before I go to sleep. "

Zhao Nanyu pressed her shoulder. "Okay, I'll tell the maidservants to prepare breakfast."

Song Luan looked down, and her long black hair covered half of her face. He couldn't see the expression on her face.

By the time she got dressed and washed, the sun was already shining.

Zhao Nanyu filled a bowl of millet porridge for her and pushed it to her, "Have a taste."

Song Luan took a sip and almost threw out the food. Her eyebrows wrinkled tightly, as she said, "It tastes so bad."

It's very salty and had a burnt smell.

Zhao Nanyu's eyes darkened and took the millet porridge in her hand to his side, "Then don't eat this."

Grandma Lin coughed twice, but she couldn't say anything when the young master was here. The young master personally went to the kitchen this morning. She didn't know if it was on a whim.

His first time cooking porridge was not good.

Naturally, Song Luan didn't know about it.

Zhao Nanyu had no appetite these days. Seeing that he had eaten only a little bit, she placed down her chopsticks.

Song Luan was supposed to pretend that she didn't see anything. However, she was too soft hearted, and couldn't resist saying, "Eat more."

His body was becoming thinner. It looked so unfamiliar and strange that it made her distressed.

After Zhao Nanyu heard her, he ate an extra bowl of rice.

Later, old lady Zhao sent two maidservants who were close to her. The two girls were very young, around 15 or 16 years old, a perfect age to marry.
