Zhao Hanzhang struggled to open her eyes a crack. The coarse burlap made her cheeks feel rough. She propped herself up and realized that at some point, she had been lying on Fu Tinghan's lap.
She rubbed her face and looked up at Fu Tinghan.
Fu Tinghan was leaning against the post behind him, deeply asleep. Zhao Hanzhang saw the dark circles under his eyes, and his slightly furrowed brows, and quickly sat up straight.
However, perhaps because of staying in one position for too long, one side of her body was numb. As she sat straight, her body fell uncontrollably to the side, collapsing directly onto Fu Tinghan.
Fu Tinghan immediately opened his eyes, already holding her in place.
When Eldest Sister Zhao and her two sisters entered, they saw Fu Tinghan holding Zhao Hanzhang tightly in his arms. The three were startled. Eldest Sister Zhao quickly turned her back, even pulling Zhao Erniang and Zhao Si Niang to turn around.
