As soon as she entered the house, Han Xue, who had been reserved all the way, obviously relaxed a little.
"Xiaoxue, you live here." Lin Shu led her to the small room in the house.
The interior is decorated according to Han Xue's preferences.
"Thank you, second sister-in-law." Han Xue's face was full of joy.
"You're welcome."
"Brother, I'm sorry to ask you to live in the living room." Lin Shu turned and looked at Han Xin who was standing at the door of the room.
Fortunately, when she designed the furniture, she designed the bench in the hall to be able to be folded down and used as a bed.
"How can I be wronged?" Han Xin smiled cheerfully. "I think it's better than the bed at home."
Lin Shu's eyes curved slightly. He knew he wasn't one to care about things.
After the three of them finished dinner, Lin Shu urged them to wash up and rest.
"Ah, help—"
At night, a clear cry for help woke Lin Shu from his sleep.
Lin Shu suddenly sat up and listened carefully.
"Help……"
Soon, cries for help were faintly heard from next door.
It’s Xiaoxue’s voice!
Lin Shu quickly turned on the light, put on a coat, opened the door and went out.
At this time, the lights in the hall had been turned on, and Han Xin stood in front of Han Xue's room with an anxious look on his face.
"What should I do?" he asked hurriedly when he saw Lin Shu, "The door is locked."
"Wait a little longer." Lin Shu said.
They all knew that when a person was having a nightmare, they couldn't wake him up immediately.
The two stood at the door of the room and listened carefully to the movements inside.
After a long time, no sound came from the room.
"It should be okay." Han Xin said with a sigh of relief.
"Well, let's go back—"
Before Lin Shu finished speaking, soft sobbing sounds were heard from inside.
Lin Shu and Han Xin looked at each other.
"Awake?" Han Xin looked worried.
"Yeah." Lin Shu nodded and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Xiaoxue." Lin Shu called softly.
There was no response from inside, only intermittent sobbing.
"Xiaoxue, are you awake?" Lin Shu raised his voice slightly.
The sobbing inside suddenly stopped.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." After a while, Han Xue said, her voice nasal.
"Small--"
Lin Shu immediately stopped Han Xin who was about to speak and shook his head at him.
"I'm glad you're okay. Then you should go to bed early." Lin Shu said.
After a while, a "hmm" sound came from inside.
Lin Shu didn't say anything else. He looked at Han Xin and made a gesture.
"Will it be okay if we just leave her like this?" Han Xin said worriedly after walking to the middle of the hall.
"It's okay." Lin Shu comforted.
She knew that the little girl was shy and it would be bad to force her to open the door and go in.
"Let's rest too. Don't press her tomorrow. I'll find another chance to talk to her."
Han Xin hesitated and said, "Okay."
The next morning.
Lin Shu and Han Xin finished their breakfast. Then Han Xue opened the door and came out.
She looked nervous: "Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I, I slept late."
"It's okay." Lin Shu said casually with a relaxed look on his face, "I, your second sister-in-law, often sleep in here."
She winked at Han Xue mischievously.
Han Xue chuckled and said, "Yeah."
After Han Xue finished breakfast, she sent Han Xin to the army gate.
He is going back today.
"Brother, be careful on your journey." Han Xue looked reluctant, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Yeah." Han Xin gently ruffled Han Xue's hair, "Brother will take you home later."
"good."
Lin Shu looked at the two siblings, a hint of envy flashing through his heart.
Whether in her past life memories or now, she wants a biological brother, but unfortunately she doesn't have one.
Then, her mind emerged Brother Chen Feng, who always took care of her and Lin Hui when they were young.
I don’t know how he is doing now.
Lin Shu didn't ask Han Xue about what happened last night throughout the whole day.
At night, before going to bed.
Lin Shu held a pillow and knocked on Han Xue's door.
"Second sister-in-law." Han Xue opened the door with a puzzled look on her face.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Lin Shu asked with a smile.
"Okay." Han Xue's eyes suddenly lit up.
The two of them lay side by side on the bed.
"Second sister-in-law."
Just as Lin Shu was thinking about how to start, Han Xue spoke first.
"Yeah." Lin Shu responded softly.
"Can we talk?"
"Of course." Lin Shu said softly.
After a long silence, Han Xue did not speak.
Lin Shu waited quietly without urging.
"I, I'm scared..." Han Xue finally spoke, but her voice was choked with sobs.
Lin Shu was startled and immediately turned sideways to hug her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here..."
"The water was so deep that day..." Han Xue lost control of her emotions and started crying with her hands covering her mouth.
The suppressed crying echoed in the dark room, knocking at Lin Shu's heart again and again.
Lin Shu began to feel uncomfortable.
She gently stroked Han Xue's back, saying soothingly, "It's okay... It's okay..."
I don’t know how long it took, but Han Xue’s crying gradually stopped.
She sobbed from time to time.
After a while, the dark room returned to silence.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry." Han Xue said in a hoarse voice.
"Silly girl..." Lin Shu sighed softly. This little girl was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.
"I'll get you some water to wipe your face." Lin Shu let go of her and said.
"Um."
Lin Shu turned on the light and went out to bring in a tray of water.
