I don’t know if it was because of the milk I drank.
Lin Zhiyi slept deeply and felt very tired.
Because she started having nightmares again.
In her dream, just like before, she kept walking through an unclear fog, never stopping.
She didn’t know how long she’d been walking when she reached an arch bridge again.
If nothing unexpected happened, she’d see Gong Chen after crossing this bridge.
Thinking of Gong Chen, she quickened her pace. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Just as she climbed the steps, it unexpectedly began to snow.
In almost the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.
Carefully, she stepped onto the snow, which squeaked, giving her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It was the snow of a cold winter in Jing City.
Suddenly, a man’s voice came from the other end of the bridge.
"Please, I beg you!"
"Please, I beg you!"
It was Gong Chen’s voice.
His deep voice sounded somewhat ethereal amidst the wind and snow.
However, it didn’t seem as calm as usual, instead containing a hint of sobbing and trembling.
Even a bit of distress.
Lin Zhiyi was too eager to know what happened, so she ignored the snow and hurried up.
But no matter how she climbed, she couldn’t reach the top.
Though it was just a dozen or so steps, it felt like climbing a mountain.
In her dream, Lin Zhiyi slipped on the snow, but eventually managed to grab the last step.
Bit by bit, she climbed up the bridge, and in front of her was the same scene again.
An unclear image, distant and unreal.
She could only see Gong Chen in the crowd, sitting there alone, looking worn and haggard.
He was saying something to someone, over and over.
Until their eyes met.
Gong Chen’s eyes reddened, he slightly opened his mouth, blood gushed out.
Lin Zhiyi reached out to grab, but caught nothing.
After several attempts, a cold wind suddenly rose behind her, as if an invisible hand pulled her back.
She suddenly woke up, looking at the empty spot beside her, instinctively raising her hand to grasp.
In her palm, she could still feel the bone-chilling cold of the snow.
"Third Young Master, Third Young Master..."
Lin Zhiyi quickly got out of bed, called several times but got no response.
As she rushed out of the room, a door opened towards the hallway.
Lin Zhiyi ran out quickly, breathing stabilizing at the familiar figure.
"Third Young Master, where did you go?"
"Li Huan was rescued, I saw you were still asleep so I went to check it out myself."
Gong Chen saw her dressed thinly, approached and draped his coat over her shoulders.
Lin Zhiyi asked worriedly, "How is Li Huan?"
"He’s fine. Surface wounds."
Gong Chen took her hand, finding her palm cold.
"What’s wrong?"
He reached out and hugged her.
Lin Zhiyi nestled in Gong Chen’s arms, his body had a faint scent of disinfectant, yet it made her feel very at ease.
She shook her head, "It’s nothing, seeing you suddenly disappear, I thought something happened."
"You miss me that much? If your mouth was this sweet before, Xingxing could have been a bit bigger."
"You... I’m being serious with you. Can’t you think about something else?"
Even though the scene was obviously warm and cozy, he had to say something suggestive.
Gong Chen could see what she was thinking, lifted her head and leaned closer.
"I’m serious too, whenever I see you I’m reminded."
He touched her forehead, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"..."
Though her hands and feet were icy, Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt the air around her was about to ignite.
Her body leaning against Gong Chen’s warm chest felt a bit dry and parched.
She hurriedly took a step back, distancing herself from him.
Gong Chen slightly raised an eyebrow, "Can you escape?"
"Xingxing is sleeping."
Lin Zhiyi reminded him, turned around and tried to run.
But was instead pulled back by the man from behind, leading her straight into the master bedroom.
The door just closed.
Lin Zhiyi was pinned against the door by Gong Chen.
One kiss ended.
Before she could even react, she was already breathless.
Lin Zhiyi thought it was over, not realizing it had just begun.
She was lying not too heavily on the bed. As she turned over, the man was already upon her.
He grabbed her wrists, caressing the pulse points.
