Chapter 19.2 - Blanket (2/2)

Song Mo was awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of someone pushing on the door. He stood up right away, but he heard someone crying outside, “Uncle, Uncle, are you awake?“

It was his niece!

“Yes, yes, I’ve awoken. Don’t worry, Uncle will open the door right away!”

Song Mo put on his robe, hastily tied his belt, and hurriedly opened the door. “Jinzhi, you…”

Because it was dark outside, he could only make out the girl’s silhouette. Tang Huan stood outside the door, clutching the blanket in her arms, crying, “Uncle, I’m really scared. I don’t dare to sleep alone. Is it okay if I sleep in the same room as you tonight?”

She was frightened to this extent, so how could Song Mo say no?

He quickly gave way to her. “Of course you can. Come in quickly. Uncle is here so there is nothing to be afraid of anymore…”

Tang Huan sobbed as she entered the room. She noticed Song Mo had been sleeping at one end of the bed stove, so she silently spread her blanket next to his bedding before snuggling in and covering her face with the blanket while breaking into louder sobs.

Song Mo shut the door, climbed onto the bed stove, and gently patted her. “You’re crying again. You might damage your eyes like this. Okay, Uncle will be guarding by your side. I will only go to sleep after you’ve fallen asleep. You won’t be scared anymore this time, right?”

“Uncle, I miss Daddy…” Tang Huan said through sobbing.

Song Mo paused, but this time, he didn’t know how to persuade her. Some things couldn’t be soothed by just a few words from another person.

He could only continue to pat her. His movements became increasingly gentle.

Tang Huan gradually stopped crying and ‘fell asleep’.

Song Mo heaved a sigh of relief and moved her blanket down to her shoulders so she would not be suffocated. He then turned around and lay down with his back to Tang Huan, without taking off his outer robe. He usually slept shirtless in the summer, so he didn’t prepare any zhongyi to wear tonight. Fortunately, it was only for one night, so he’d just make do with the robe.

After hearing the man’s long and slow breathing, Tang Huan quietly opened her eyes.

The two of them were only an arm’s length apart.

She gently lifted her blanket. After building up the right emotions, she suddenly screamed. Then before Song Mo could react, she quickly got into his blanket and clung to him like a vine wrapped around a tree. She was hugging his waist with her left hand and hooking his legs with hers as she shouted shakily, “Don’t catch my daddy, don’t catch my daddy…”

“Jinzhi!”

Song Mo was startled by the sudden incident. He grabbed her hands and strenuously turned around. Right after calling her name, she clung to him again. Her hands were wrapped around his neck as she buried her face in his neck. “Daddy, don’t go. Don’t leave Jinzhi alone, wuuu, Daddy, don’t go…”

There were no tears, but her voice was panicked and helpless, as if someone was snatching the most important thing from her.

Song Mo tried to break free from her, but every time he pulled her hands away, she shouted even more anxiously, until he didn’t dare to move any longer. Guessing that she was trapped in a nightmare, Song Mo didn’t dare to push her away. He lay on the bed stove, letting her hug him. “Jinzhi, don’t be afraid, Un…Daddy is not leaving. Daddy will always be with Jinzhi.” He couldn’t help wrapping his right hand around her shoulder and gently patting her.

“Daddy…”

Tang Huan yelled eagerly, squeezing her entire body into Song Mo’s embrace, nearly lying on top of him. She pretended to be hugging him uneasily, but she was actually skilfully rubbing against him with her soft breasts and teasing him at the lower abdomen following the movements of her upper body. Uncle Song, according to Jinzhi’s memory, had never had a woman. Tang Huan was certain that Song Mo would have a reaction.

Song Mo didn’t let her down.

When she was hugging his neck and calling him Daddy, because he felt sorry for his niece, he didn’t notice it, but when she started wiggling restlessly in his arms, the mature but inexperienced male body immediately tensed up, and a certain part quickly awakened. After that, her warm breathing and soft cries turned into sparks, burning him hotter and hotter.

He…actually…to his niece…

The unspeakable forbidden shame struck him like a blow to the head. Song Mo grabbed her arm once more, instinctively trying to push her away.

“Daddy, please don’t abandon me! I’ll be obedient. I’ll marry…I’ll marry him. Please don’t leave me…”

After achieving her goal, for fear of forcing Song Mo too much, she didn’t dare to tease him anymore. She stopped wiggling and shifted her lower abdomen slightly away from him, leaving only her upper body pressing against him.

Marry him?

Dong Minghua…

Seeing how reluctant she was even in her dreams, it seemed that his niece was really unwilling to marry Dong Minghua. But he was still speaking for Dong Minghua in front of his niece before dinner just now. His niece must have been extremely sad, right?

Thus, Song Mo’s determination in pushing her away, after knowing how angry she was at him at that time, disintegrated once again in her anxious cries. He moved his lower body back in secret while trying not to move above the shoulders.

Tang Huan stopped teasing him, knowing that she certainly couldn’t take too much advantage of him when he was awake, but she would have all sorts of ways to touch him after he fell asleep. One should not eat hot tofu in a hurry 1 . To deal with a conservative man like Song Mo, she had to take it slow.

After she stopped moving around, Song Mo’s tensed body slowly relaxed. Fortunately, his niece was no longer touching him, so he didn’t have to worry about her discovering the changes in his body. If she had noticed, he would be too ashamed to face her again.

He stared at the ceiling beams above his head in the dark, his mind running wild, hoping that she would fall asleep soon so he could carry her back.

However, every time he thought it was safe to move her and was attempting to pull her hand away, she would nervously hug him tightly again.

After several attempts, Song Mo gave up.

His heart ached for his niece for being so insecure. He thought that he should let her have a good night’s sleep.

As the night grew darker, Song Mo couldn’t resist the sleepiness any longer and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

A small hand slipped quietly into his clothes…
