Just as Gu Er put down his phone, he saw Yan Xi running into the study in her pajamas.
The door of the study was not closed. Through the gap, Gu Er saw the two of them hugging each other tightly. Yan Xi was leaning in Gu Shen's arms. Her face was very pale, and there were a few tears on her eyelashes.
"Gu Shen, I had a nightmare."
Gu Er moved slightly and wanted to take a few more glances when Gu Shen shot him a fierce look.
"Close the door."
Yan Xi looked aggrieved. "Oh, I forgot."
"No, I'm not talking to you." Gu Shen pulled her back into his arms. He rubbed Yan Xi's hair and asked gently, "What's wrong? What nightmare?"
This dream was too scary for Yan Xi. She dreamed that she was trapped in darkness.
There was silence, but a voice kept echoing, telling her that she should go back, and that she didn't belong in this world.
