At three a.m. in the morning, Xu Wei had a nightmare. She jolted up from her bed, her forehead filled with sweat.
She then reached out for Lu Jingqing and pushed him to wake him up.
"What happened, honey?" Lu Jingqing's muffled voice wafted over to Xu Wei's ears. She made a grunting noise and said, "I dreamed of Zhizhi. She was dating a man over the internet, but the man conned her out of her money and dignity."
Lu Jingqing could barely keep his eyes open, so Xu Wei's voice sounded distant to him. He did not know what she was talking about, so he just replied, "Yeah, yeah."
"In the end, she was abducted by one of her classmates and taken to the mountain. He forced her to marry him, and Fu Zhi was crying for me…"
When Xu Wei realized Lu Jingqing was not listening, she nudged him again and added, "As her mother, can you understand how I feel right now?"
