Huo Jin was overwhelmed to see how Yin Na looked after him. Indeed, he was annoyed earlier, not at her, but himself because he did not want her to stay awake the entire night. The more he pushed her away, the more she came close to him.
His heart fluttered by her acts and her care. He could not help but kiss her on the cheek. He tried hard not to fall weak by opening his heart to him, but he could not do it for long. However, he still respected Yin Na and did not kiss her on her lips because for that, he wanted her permission.
Yin Na's heart pounded by Huo Jin's sudden act of love. She gaped at him as he leaned back. They stared into each other's eyes, unable to realize that many minutes had passed.
Huo Jin averted his head and scratched the middle of his forehead, before putting his hand down. His fingers curled and uncurled because of the nervousness. He did not know what he would answer to Yin Na now. She would definitely ask the reason behind it and his head had gone completely blank.
Yin Na, on the other hand, was also in shock. Her mind was blank too because of Huo Jin's act. She had not expected this from Huo Jin. A smile was carved on her lips and it kept growing because of the immense pleasure she received from this small gesture of love from Huo Jin.
Huo Jin found that the awkward silence was only increasing between them, so he thought to break the ice.
"Yin Na, I felt sleepy," he lied because apart from telling a lie to her, there was no way to avoid her.
Yin Na promptly stood up from the bed when Huo Jin moved back on the bed.
She pulled the quilt to cover him and found he had already closed his eyes. She smiled again but did not say anything. Sometimes, the silence was the best answer. She caressed his head and Huo Jin felt how weirdly his heart was beating.

A thin line between his heart and his mind had already broken.
"Yin Na, you shall leave," Huo Jin told her, keeping his eyes closed. One thing that always amazed Yin about Huo Jin was his face used to remain neutral most of the time.
She stood up from the stool, picked up the tray, and left the room. Instantly, Huo Jin opened his eyes after Yin Na left the room. He brought his hand near his heart to feel his own heartbeat.
He truly realized today that this feeling he never felt towards Xinyue either. It was clear to him now what his heart wanted. The Love which he always missed, he felt that feeling. It delighted him because finally, his mind accepted that yes, he was in love with Yin Na.
He could feel the brush of Yin Na's soft fingers on his lips when she wiped them.
He shook his head. 'How can I think this way?' he thought and blankly stared at the ceiling.
Outside Huo Jin's room, Yin Na jumped in happiness. The servants glanced at her in amusement.
"Huo Jin loves me," Yin Na mumbled and went to the kitchen while frisking. She was on cloud nine because of this beautiful feeling.
The servants in the residence were confused to see her. Yin Na hardly used to be in this cheerful mood.
Yin Na stopped near a pillar and hugged it tightly with her one arm. "So, this is the feeling of 'butterflies dancing in the stomach'," she murmured while tightly shutting her eyes in pleasure.
She let go of the pillar and dashed to the kitchen. After keeping the tray in the kitchen, she came out and crossed her arms.
"Now, I want a confession from him. But, how? It was so tough to get a tiny kiss from him," she muttered and kept thinking when something clicked in her head.
"Huo Jin, get ready to confess to him. I will bring out every single thought from your mind that you think for me," Yin Na affirmed with a confident tone.

Wang Hao picked up his sword when Bai Yaling came to him. "General Wang, it is for you." She showed a tassel to him.
"I made this for you. Since General Wang does not like bright colors, I used blue thread to make the circular frame and the blue beads," Bai Yaling said.
Wang Hao took it from her and tucked it on his dress on the sash.
"It looks pretty," Wang Hao said and passed a smile to her.
"I am glad that you like it," Bai Yaling said. "The royal physician will be here in a while to examine me," she informed him.

"I know you are stressed about the situation in Changying and also the Emperor these days, so I did not bother to tell you earlier," Bai Yaling stated.
Wang Hao leaned down and encircled his arms around her, thus pulling her into a hug. "But you and our child are also important. Forgive me for not knowing about it. I will stay here till you get examined," Wang Hao said and withdrew from the hug.
"That's not necessary, though. The Princes must be waiting for you in the Palace. I have Sister Yin Na and even Father around me. I informed you because I didn't want you to get upset later for not having the knowledge," Bai Yaling asserted.
"Come," Wang Hao grasped her hand gently and brought her to the bed. He made her sit on the mattress and said, "Bai Yaling, I must stay around when you will be examined. I am going to be Father soon, so it is my duty towards my child. Her Majesty will be angry at me if I do not take good care of you. Also, I promised myself to give you my extreme care and love."
He kissed her lips lightly and then caressed her head.
