The voice was exactly as she remembered it, unchanged.
Yi Yi still didn't dare to blink or take a step closer.
Mu Nanxun sighed, took a few steps in an annoyed manner, stopped in front of her, and looked down at her condescendingly.
"Silly Yi, you don't need to be so excited that you lose your mind when you see your man come back."
"Am I...am I dreaming?"
Yi Yi said uncertainly, her eyes already red. She was afraid that this time, like countless times before, it was all fake, all a dream.
Oh right, humans say they don't feel pain when they're dreaming.
Yi put her finger into her mouth.
Mu Nanxun stopped her with his broad, kind hand, feeling both annoyed and amused.
"Silly Yi, what are you doing?"
Even the temperature in my palm feels so real.
"Mumu, are you really back? You're not dead? I know, I know you won't die! You'll definitely come back, it really is you, it really is you, right?"
Yi Yi was so excited that she was almost incoherent. The familiar man stood in front of her, so close, yet it seemed as if he might disappear at any moment.
"The person is standing right in front of you, what do you think?"
"Wait for me a moment. I'm worried I'm dreaming again. Let me bite myself. If it hurts, I'll believe you've really come back."
She opened her mouth and took a bite without hesitation. The way she did it was exactly the same as when she first ate a pancake after coming to the human world.
It doesn't hurt. That's strange, it doesn't hurt at all.
Yi Yi felt slightly disappointed; it was just a dream after all. She should have known better than to bite him. It would have been better to see him in her dream, at least to have something to hold onto. It's much better to witness that hope shattering in person.
Wait, could it be that I didn't bite hard enough?
Yi frowned, mustered all her strength, and bit down on her finger again.
"Hiss~"
That sound alone is painful. Looks like it wasn't a dream!
But... that's not her voice either.
At that moment, a man's heavy breathing came helplessly from above.
"Silly Yi, it's one thing to bite me once, but you have to bite me a second time? Are you trying to eat me up? It's been over a month since we last met, and you've become so thirsty, huh?"
Yiyi: "..."
No wonder she didn't feel anything; she had bitten Mu Nanxun's finger!
Mu Nanxun's originally slender fingers were bitten until they were red and swollen like carrots.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bite you. I just... I just wanted to know if I was dreaming. I'm scared, scared that you'll appear so realistically again, like before, and then when I pounce on you to hug you, you... you'll disappear again..."
The unfinished words vanished in a long, scalding kiss. Yi Yi fell into a broad, warm embrace, where there was a faint scent that belonged only to him, a scent that made her feel at ease.
"Silly Yi, now you know? I won't disappear."
Mu Nanxun reached out and ruffled her fine, silky hair, instantly turning her little head into a messy bird's nest.
In the past, if Mu Nanxun had treated her like this, she would have been furious. But now, she wished Mu Nanxun would "rub" her a few more times, so that she would feel that he had really come back.
Yi felt a lump in her throat, and large tears fell, clinging to her long eyelashes before sliding down her cheeks with a "plop" and landing on the ground.
The next second, Yi Yi's worries and fears that had been building up in her heart for days suddenly erupted, and she burst into tears.
