It was late at night.

Dim light pierced through the dappled shadows of the trees and fell down.

It landed at the entrance of the alley.

The woman trembled.

At that moment, a few thugs walked over from the front.

One of them whistled when he saw Guan Shuli, "Third Brother, there's a pretty girl over there, I think we should... hey, hehe."

...

"What are you going to do?"

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"Where are you taking me? Ah, no!"

Night, autumn wind blowing.

Some strange noises came from a distance.

Rong Xun paused in his changing.

She turned around, her gaze sharp.

At that moment, Shen Changling noticed her frowning and asked, "What's wrong?"

He moved closer, putting one arm around her waist, thinking she was wondering if there were still poisonous snakes in the room.

He gently patted her back, reassuring her, "It's alright, it's alright."

"I just had my servants check several times. If there was anything else, they would have caught them already."

"Mm." Rong Shang nodded.

That's not what she was thinking.

She just... heard Guan Shuli shouting for help.

"Go to sleep."

The man took a step or two back, looked at her affectionately, and finally kissed her lips.

He said, "Lyrical, I dreamt about you last night."

One sentence pulled her back from her thoughts.

Rong Shang met his gaze and laughed, "You still have time to dream?"

"What?"

The man didn't realize what she was saying at first.

She said, "You've been making a scene all night, and you still have time to sleep."

He suddenly blushed.

"What are you saying?"

Shy, Shen Changling buried his face in the crook of her neck.

He retorted in a low voice, "There's no such thing as one night."

"I fell asleep around four in the morning."

Then, I kept dreaming about her.

"What does it mean if someone dreams about me?"

Seeing that he had suddenly fallen silent, Rong Shang wanted to tease him again, "Could it be... that we were still doing 'that' in our dreams?"

“You are.” He looked up and rolled his eyes at her.

She said, "It's quite strange, I dreamt that we've been together for a long time."

“An old gentleman said that we have lived together for more than a thousand years.”

Shen Changling didn't believe it, and in his dream, he gave the old man a sharp rap on the head.

He said, "Are you dreaming or am I dreaming?"

oh.

He woke up later and realized he was dreaming.

No wonder this dream was so absurd.

Shen Changling smiled and said, "More than a thousand years, how come we're still alive?"

"We are human, not gods."

He told her about the dream as a joke.

After saying that, he didn't take it seriously at all.

He took a step and walked towards the bed.

He said, "I won't stay up that long tonight."

When he told them, no one agreed.

He waited a moment, "Lyrical?"

"..."

"Um?"

I turned around and saw her staring blankly.

Shen Changling smiled helplessly, "Seriously? You're still thinking about this?"

He walked over and pulled her to his side.

"Is there even a need to think about it? Everyone knows it's impossible."

"If it had really been over a thousand years, why would I only be able to marry you now?"

Rong Chang did not speak.

Shen Changling muttered to himself, "My mother said that our family heirloom can manifest images, but I also think it's impossible."

"What century is this? How can people still believe in these strange things?"

He kept muttering to himself.

When Rong Shang heard this, she immediately looked up and asked, "What did you say?"

"Can your family heirloom manifest images?"

"I...I don't know," Shen Changling mumbled. "I've only heard about it."
