Sitting still, Shen Xi let Li Yuan hug her for as long as he wanted. It took a while before she whispered, "Brother, what was your dream about?"
What did he dream about to cry out her name so anxiously and hopelessly in his sleep?
"I dreamed that you were picked on by the Su family." Having simmered down, Li Yuan spoke slowly. Everything in the dream seemed so real.
He had never seen his fair lady so cautious to please anyone while wearing her heart on her sleeve to only receive apathy in return.
In the dream, she saw him just prior to her departure. Could he find solace in that?
"They did bully me when I was living with them." Shen Xi sounded muffled as she clung to his waist and sighed. "But the Su family is no more. There's no need to dwell on it."
She was now living her happy ending. Nothing could beat that, and she could not ask for anything more.
