That night, Fan Xi had another dream...

It was a cold winter in the dream. She was standing on a bridge, watching two boys playing by the river. The taller one looked to be about ten years old, and the shorter one was about seven or eight years old.

The two boys look very similar, and even inexplicably familiar. If only one was taller and the other shorter, you would really think they were twins.

The smaller one tentatively pushed his foot against the ice and found it was very solid. He shouted happily, "Brother, come on, the ice is solid, let's go skate!"

The tall boy tried to push it and found that it was indeed very strong, so he and his brother started playing on the river.

Suddenly...

The little boy accidentally stepped on a hole in the ice that someone nearby had dug for fishing. The thin ice on the surface of the hole quickly cracked, and the little boy fell into the hole...

"Brother, please save me! Brother..." The little boy struggled desperately.

Seeing this, the tall boy immediately ran over to grab his brother, but unfortunately he was only about ten years old. Not only did he fail to pull his brother up, but he also fell down because the ice was too slippery.

Luckily, the older brother could swim. After falling through the ice, he struggled to hold up his younger brother, who then used the force to climb up. Finally, the younger brother was lifted onto the ice, but the older brother was so frozen that he had little strength left...

The younger brother cried and tried desperately to pull his brother up, but he couldn't pull him up...

"Brother, hold on, I'll pull you up!"

"Brother, hurry... run... find an adult. I can float and can... hold on a little longer..." The brother in the water said with his teeth chattering.

"Okay, brother, hold on, wait for me to come!"

The little boy ran desperately toward the road, shouting, "Help!"

Fan Yu, who was standing on the bridge, rushed over the moment the little boy fell, but she found herself like a shadow, her fingers piercing the boy's hand, unable to hold it back. She couldn't make a sound either, and was forced to be a bystander...

After a few minutes, the brother in the water could no longer hold on and struggled desperately...

Finally, the younger brother came over with a few adults. With the help of the adults, the older brother was pulled out of the water, but he was already frozen unconscious.

…

The scene changed to an old courtyard house. The two little boys from earlier both had fevers. The younger boy's fever quickly subsided after taking medicine, but the older boy's fever remained high...

Fan Xi was watching quietly from the side. She now knew that the two brothers were He Siyan and Zhao Yilu.

The scene changed again. A few days later, little He Siyan, whose fever had finally subsided, was still coughing...

Xiao Zhao looked at his brother who was coughing and pale all the way, feeling self-blame and guilt.

He lay on the side of little He Siyan's bed, crying and saying, "Brother, it's all my fault. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have fallen into the water and gotten sick. You must get better soon!"

Little He Siyan on the bed smiled and said, "I am the older brother, I should protect my younger brother..." After that, he coughed violently again.

"No, we are brothers, we should help each other. Big brother, from now on it will be my turn to protect you!" Xiao Zhao said firmly all the way.

…

Fan Xi was suddenly awakened by the sound of firecrackers. She sat up suddenly. It turned out that she had just dreamed again! She had dreamed about He Siyan and Zhao Yilu when they were children.

Jujue told her that what she had just dreamed about were all real things that had happened in this world, and she was sure that He Siyan had contracted the cough and asthma because of this accident!

Fan Yu thought carefully about Zhao Yilu's last words, feeling as if something was about to burst out...
