"Why...Ye Han..." Xia Ruoming murmured to herself while soaking in ice water. She didn't know since which day everything became strange and she had no answers to anything.
Has the world line been rewritten since the day she rejected Xu Fengwu, just because of the butterfly effect?
Xu Fengwu who planned to pursue her, Luo Qingxuan who always seemed to have her own little secrets, Ye Han whose behavior was particularly strange, and Jiang Ruhua who met her in advance, everything was not what she had imagined.
She didn't want to think about these things, but even if she closed her eyes in the ice water, these things couldn't stop pouring into her mind.
After discovering that ice water could no longer clear her mind as before, Xia Ruoming gave up the idea of using ice water to calm herself down and returned to the bedroom feeling groggy.
"Are you done washing? Sister Ruoming~" Ye Han sat on the bed, tilting his head and looking at Xia Ruoming.
"Didn't I tell you to go to bed first? I told you not to wait for me." Xia Ruoming said helplessly while pressing her temple.
"Hmm~ I want to wait for Sister Ruoming to sleep with you. Didn't a book say that if you do this, you might be able to have the same dream? I want to be with Sister Ruoming in my dream~" Ye Han said sweetly.
"No, I don't want to dream at all. I just want to have a good sleep and sleep until dawn." Xia Ruoming was afraid of Ye Han, and shook her head and said quickly.
"snort."
"Then I'll turn off the lights. Hanhan, you should go to bed early too." Xia Ruoming yawned, turned off the lights in the room, then covered herself with the quilt on the floor and closed her eyes.
"Sister Ruoming, sister~" Ye Han's voice sounded again in the darkness.
"Hanhan, do you have anything else to say? I'm really sleepy, go to bed quickly." Xia Ruoming turned over and said in a daze.
"Sister Ruoming, you won't talk in your sleep, will you? You won't wake me up in the middle of the night, will you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who talks in their sleep?"
"Sister, sister~"
"You obviously live in a villa and run your own company, why do you pretend to be poor every day? You even wore cheap clothes at the cocktail party the other day."
"I'm happy to do that! What's it to you?"
"Sister Ruoming, I can't sleep. Can you chat with me for a while? Don't be so cold."
"No! It's so late now, go to bed!"
"Sister Ruoming, Mom never told me about the past. Sister Ruoming, can you tell me about the past stories of Mom and Aunt? I really want to hear it. Please tell me more."
"I'll give you a phone number. Go ask her yourself. She'll definitely tell you. I don't know either!"
"Sister Ruoming, I like someone, but she doesn't know I like her. Do you think I should be brave enough to pursue her?"
"It's your own business to like someone. Why are you asking me? If you ask me, I really regret confessing my feelings to that person before."
"No, I just want to hear Sister Ruomeng's opinion."
"Since you asked this, it means you have already made up your mind. Then go after her bravely. Why are you still asking me..."
"Sister Ruoming, this is what you said..."
"Yes, yes, that's what I said. Go to bed, okay?"
"Then can Sister Ruoming come too on the day I confess my feelings?"
"Okay, okay, I promise you, go to bed quickly, I'm really sleepy."
But in the dark room, Xia Ruoming would never see the tears in Ye Han's eyes. It actually took Ye Han a lot of courage to say this half-jokingly. She was also afraid of being rejected by Xia Ruoming, but she knew that the best chance was now. Once Xia Ruoming reaffirmed her somewhat shaken heart, her chance would be even slimmer.
In fact, she also felt that Xia Ruoming was very lonely. Although she didn't know where Xia Ruoming's loneliness came from, Ye Han, who noticed this, immediately established a character for herself - a younger sister who was gentle, considerate, and understanding, but also liked to stick to her sister.
Looking at Xia Ruoming who didn't say a word, Ye Han walked down from the bed quietly, then lay down on the floor, close to Xia Ruoming.
"Sister Ruoming, are you afraid of the dark too?" Ye Han asked softly beside Xia Ruoming's ear. "It's okay, I know, because I am the same. My body trembles when I am afraid."
"I'm not afraid of shit!" Xia Ruomeng said angrily. Was she afraid of the dark? She was afraid of Ye Han! She was afraid in every sense of the word!
"No~ Then at least I want to sleep with Sister Ruoming, the kind where I sleep with a stuffed toy in my arms..."
Before Ye Han finished speaking, Xia Ruoming covered her ears with the quilt, as if she didn't want to listen to her anymore.
"Sister Ruoming, it is said that this sleeping posture is very bad, and it's easy to...well, cover yourself up unconsciously in the middle of the night and become unable to breathe, you understand?" Ye Han said with a smile. After hearing this, Xia Ruoming helplessly put down the quilt and turned her face around.
Ye Han looked at Xia Rumeng's face, which looked even more like Liu Qingyun in the dark. The expression on her face was a bit complicated, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
"I've already said...it's better not to do that...Hanhan, go to bed early." Xia Ruoming sighed softly in the darkness. The voice was extremely sad. Ye Han didn't know where the sadness came from.
Xia Ruoming was really annoyed. When she was still in Rongcheng, she had made certain assumptions - this would only happen if the world was in chaos, but now it seemed that the world was really in chaos.
Just like the Emperor card said, some things cannot go too far beyond the boundary, otherwise the situation will be out of her control.
Ye Han did not show any extra emotions, but just nodded slightly in the dark, and then hugged Xia Ruoming tightly again. Xia Ruoming could clearly feel her somewhat angry face.
"Okay... But I have to at least hold my elder sister while I sleep! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep!" Just as Xia Ruomeng thought, Ye Han was indeed a little angry, "Elder sister won't even agree to this request, right?"
“…”
Xia Ruoming was silent for a long time before she said, "Are you serious? You're just hugging me?"
"Of course. I think you will be relieved now, sister?" When Ye Han heard that Xia Ruoming seemed to have changed her attitude, his tone also became a little excited.
"Okay." A bitter laugh came from the darkness, followed by Xia Ruoming's voice of agreement.
