Bai Yu quickly lit a candle to illuminate the room and looked around.

"Ning'er? Did you have a nightmare? It's alright, it's alright." Chi Yan gently patted her back to comfort her.

After a long while, Leng Qingning finally found her voice, "I... I think I had a terrible dream. In the dream, my sister and I both died..."

Chi Yan was shocked: "How could this be?" Then she changed to a gentle tone, "No, Ning'er, it's alright."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A moment later

Leng Qingning seemed to sense that something was amiss.

That dream felt far too real.

All the sounds in her dream seemed to be closely related to her!

The voices in my dream were incredibly familiar; who were they...?

Memories of a past life?

"That wasn't a dream," Leng Qingning murmured softly.

"What?" Chi Yan didn't hear her words clearly.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Chi Yan released her.

Looking down, I saw that the other person's face was covered in tears.

Chi Yan felt a pang of heartache and gently wiped away Leng Qingning's tears with his sleeve.

Leng Qingning stared blankly at Chi Yan.

"Ah Yan, I'm so panicked."

I seem to have awakened some memories.

At this moment, the true sense of vulnerability is laid bare.

Ignoring his thoughts, Chi Yan climbed onto the bed and gently comforted him, "I'll stay with you, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid, Yan, I just... I just..."

My heart is aching terribly.

Chi Yan gently comforted her, then embraced Leng Qingning and lay down.

"Sleep well, Ning'er!" He gently patted her through the blanket.

Leng Qingning closed her eyes, her mind automatically replaying the events, trying to explore the unknown secrets.

I drifted off to sleep without realizing it…
