Chapter 378: Chapter 379 Help him rub_1

Nan Feng enjoyed a comfortable bath, then ate roast chicken and ribs that her brother Ye had bought. Feeling a bit greasy, she drank a bit of Osmanthus Brew.

She felt warmth in her heart.

Brother Ye was always like that. Even when angry, he wouldn’t truly lash out. He wouldn’t hit her or scold her, but would silently treat her well while holding back his temper.

As for whether his anger had subsided or not?

Nan Feng felt it probably hadn’t.

After eating, Nan Feng went to sleep again. By the evening, seeing that Feng Gu hadn’t returned, she went to the Yamen to find her.

...

It turned out the victims at the Yamen needed their families to buy their freedom. Nan Feng hadn’t known this, assuming they would send Feng Gu home.

Nan Feng immediately questioned the Yamen’s manager, "That’s unfair! If I didn’t know she was still here, wouldn’t I stop showing up?"

Feng Gu quickly explained to Nan Feng, "It’s not like that, Sister Nan Feng. You can’t blame this officer. They’ve already sent someone to notify my father. He said he was busy and would pick me up when he had time. I suppose he must be busy right now."

Besides Feng Gu, three other girls remained unreclaimed. One of them, who claimed she was a refugee, was presumably the girl who had been kidnapped on the return from Da Ping Village.

But the other two, currently crying, were likely forgotten by their families, worrying about their reputations after being missing for a couple of days. They would be gossiped about if they returned home.

In this era, a girl’s chastity was paramount, valued above even familial ties.

Nan Feng sighed and comforted Feng Gu, "I visited your home yesterday morning. Your father is genuinely worried about you."

What was meant as reassurance, Feng Gu took to heart. Her face lit up with a smile, "Then I should go home to ease his worries."

"..." Nan Feng was at a loss for words.

After Feng Gu left, Nan Feng went to find Brother Ye and was told he had been ordered to rest by Magistrate Song.

He hadn’t slept for two days because of the case. Now was the right time for him to rest.

Nan Feng then went to Ye’s bedroom.

On guard duty, people could come looking for him at any time, so Ye didn’t lock his door. Pushing it open, Nan Feng went inside quietly to find Ye asleep on the bed.

He must have been exhausted. He slept soundly, his breathing even. His chest rose and fell slightly. One hand rested on his forehead; the other on his abdomen—a defensive sleeping posture.

Not wanting to disturb him, Nan Feng sat beside the bed, quietly watching him.

Regardless of whether he was in disguise or not, she found him genuinely appealing.

However, as Nan Feng watched him intently, her hand was suddenly grabbed. Before she could react, she was pulled onto the bed with him holding her tightly in his arms.

"You didn’t fall asleep?" Nan Feng asked softly.

"Will you sleep with me for a while?"

Perhaps due to heightened alertness and an inability to completely relax, he had only been dozing off. With his occupation, he would wake up at the slightest disturbance. There was no way he could not have noticed someone as significant as Nan Feng coming in.

"Mmm, then you sleep well for a while, forget about everything," Nan Feng comforted him, gently massaging his shoulder.

With Nan Feng’s soft body in his arms, Brother Ye indeed felt his body relax, and before long, he fell into a deep sleep, light snoring filling the room.
