"Yan'er..." he shouted, startling the girl into dropping the needle in her hand.
The woman turned her head sharply, and when she saw him, her eyes lit up. But then, in an instant, they shifted, and she looked at him with a gaze that was both sarcastic and cold. The two gazes alternated before him. "Yan'er... Yan'er..."
Dongfang Yifei mumbled in his sleep, his forehead covered in sweat. He didn't know how much time had passed before he suddenly woke up, as if in a midnight fright. Opening his eyes, he found himself still inside his spatial ring. Dongfang Yifei shifted uncomfortably. What was wrong with him? Why had he been having the same dream repeatedly for the past two nights? The dreams were all about him and Nangong Ziyan.
Dongfang Yifei shook his head, trying to clear his head.
Recalling every detail of his dream, he felt as if his heart was covered in dog shit, cruelly ruining all of Nangong Ziyan's sincerity and love.
In the end, all the consequences came back to him.
The more Dongfang Yifei thought about it, the more unable to contain his emotions. He could no longer sleep and simply got up to do other things.
Even after getting out of bed, Dongfang Yifei's heart was still restless. Fragments of his own words flashed through his mind again. If he could live again, he would treat Nangong Ziyan well, cherish her sincerity, protect her for a lifetime, and never let her suffer any grievances. Even if she was arrogant and domineering, he would tolerate her, love her, and protect her...
Dongfang Yifei frowned deeply, finding the words that flashed through his mind unbelievable. He felt that the scenes in his dreams were real, him and Nangong Ziyan... He was extremely agitated and decided to go out for some fresh air to cheer himself up.
The thick darkness was punctuated by faint specks of light, and the lazily chirping of nightingales drifted from the forest, which only fueled Dongfang Yifei's irritation as he walked down the street.
Nangong Ruichen had been secretly observing Dongfang Yifei's every move these past few days, and tonight was no exception; he followed Dongfang Yifei out.
But when they turned the corner, Dongfang Yifei had disappeared.
Nangong Ruichen frowned. She had lost him. Had he discovered her? Just as she was about to leave, a sound suddenly came from the shadows around the corner, making her stop in her tracks.
"Hey, this woman is really beautiful, why don't we take her home and have some fun with her!"
"You still can't figure out their identity? If they're someone with status and power, then we're in deep trouble!"
Another man's voice came through, sounding somewhat frightened.
"If you're not going, then I'll go first. Such a delicate beauty, you'll never meet another one like her in your life if you miss her. Move aside, move aside."
The man who had just spoken sounded impatient.
"Brother, don't be anxious!"
"Fuck you."
The sound of a man falling to the ground could be heard.
Nangong Ruichen slowly turned the corner, but his keen senses quickly detected something amiss. His gaze swept across the woman's surroundings and he saw a woman in a pink dress sleeping on the ground. Her silhouette could be vaguely made out through the gaps in the dim moonlight, which also illuminated the faces of the two tall men standing in front of her.
Nangong Ruichen realized that the woman was in a very bad situation. He had actually run into this kind of thing, so it wouldn't hurt to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
Nangong Ruichen's imposing figure appeared instantly in front of the two men, and he said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way, or don't blame me for not warning you."
One of the men sneered, "Who are you! You'd better get out of my way, or don't blame me for not warning you."
The man looked at Nangong Ruichen with an evil expression, while the other man looked at Nangong Ruichen tremblingly, constantly tugging at the sleeve of the man next to him, watching Nangong Ruichen warily.
The man whose sleeve was being pulled seemed to have had some alcohol. He was already itching to see the woman on the ground. Life in this world is not easy enough, and wanting to have a beautiful woman to play with is simply a pipe dream. The beautiful woman in front of him was simply a gem. He got hard the moment he saw her, and he couldn't listen to Nangong Ruichen's warning.
