I could not help but laugh after hearing that. What did she figure out?
I think she must have figured out that the two unlucky buggers jumping through space and ti are us. She is pretty smart too, like you.
Your friend really cares about you.
Of course, Tan Jiao said with a smile.
Then why were you upset just now?
Shocked by what I said, she lowered her face and said, I just I think our predicant is pretty sad. Even though we solved the case together with Zhuang Yu and Shen Shiyan, the two of them have no mory of it after we travelled back in ti. Zhuang Yu was able to figure it out after I explained things to her again. But what about next ti? Will the people around us continue to forget things that we have done?
So that was why she looked sad just now. Placing my hand on her shoulder, I comforted her. This chaos will end. When we finally arrive at the final point, everything will return to normal. Maybe Zhuang Yu will even beco jealous of the ti travelling experience you have.
Hahaha, that crazy woman would probably be very jealous of my experience. Then she looked up at with her sparkling eyes and asked, Ah Yu, do you feel sad or disappointed? Ive always felt that you were the one pushing us along this journey of ours.
I thought about it for a second and answered, There are so things that I want badly, so I do sotis beco tired and disheartened. I also worry that my efforts will lead to nothing and that everything will beco pointless. But I know we only have one path to take, so I will definitely soldier on.
Ah Yu, please dont feel disheartened. Youre already doing an amazing job. Youve gone through so much, yet youre here trying to save the Cheng family. In fact I Im not that generous, but I am willing to join you to do these things. I know we didnt choose the path before us, but we can definitely try to make sothing out of it.
My heart felt warm and calm at that mont while silence surrounded us as we stood there under the tree. Occasionally, bits of snow would fall from above. Neither of us spoke. My hand was still on her shoulder, and her beautiful, sparkling eyes were still fixed on . I did not know if she would shut her eyes like last ti and expect sothing, but I had to ask myself whether I would let this opportunity slip away? To let this wonderful woman slip away from .
Ah Choo! Tan Jiao let out a hard sneeze before imdiately hiding her face in embarrassnt. I chuckled and quickly pulled out so tissues for her. Looking sowhere else, she took the tissue.
Its cold outside. Lets go back inside.
After wiping her nose, she said, No. Im still in a bad mood, so I want to stay here for a bit more.
Sure. Then Ill smoke a cigarette. However, just as I lit up my cigarette, I heard her soft and tender voice saying, But Ah Yu, Im cold.
Our gazes t. Her eyes were sparkling and looked at like a soft and weak creature. At that mont, I felt a bit of dryness in my throat.
This woman was definitely not easy or naive.
With the cigarette in my mouth, I was about to take off my jacket. But before I could do that, she had placed her hand on my arm and said, Dont. Youll be cold.
It was as if ti had stood still at that mont. Before I could react, she had placed her head on my chest, right between my unzipped jacket.
Neither of us moved.
Then after a while, I raised my hand and gently placed them around her waist.
Are you still cold? I asked tenderly.
With her face lowered, seemingly unwilling to look at , she said with a soft voice, No. I feel warm now.
This was our second day at the Chengs, the night before the fire.
The day went by normally, and we checked everything that could potentially cause a fire. Nonetheless,we still got ready just in case a fire broke out in the forest.
In fact, my heart would race and jump because of that woman. But everyti my heart cald down, I would feel as if sothing was lting away; it was like so other emotion was growing inside .
At night, my sleep was affected once more. This was actually sothing abnormal, as I had been having less and less nightmares lately. Even though I still felt sothing missing in my heart, I had beco used to it.
Again, I fell into restraints in my dream. Sothing was tying up, layer by layer, bringing closer to the darkness. The restraints were tight, affecting my breathing. I broke out in cold sweat as I felt the stickiness and sliminess. Sothing was even close to .
I snapped my eyes open and was greeted by the blank ceiling once more. The darkness, wetness, and entanglent were nowhere to be found.
I sat up, took a sip from the cup of water on the table, and saw the opened window. Out on this moonless night, the mountain range looked like dark beasts gathering outside.
Then, a chilly feeling hit my heart.
I recalled shutting the windows before going to bed.
Those dreams were not random. Soone must have sneaked into my room at night and stayed beside .
