The usually lively New Year celebrations became rather somber at home because of the constant commotion and music from the funeral procession next door.
When Gu Changzheng returned home, he washed his hands and face in the water that He Meizhu had prepared, which contained a mixture of pomelo leaves, wormwood, and charcoal, at the gate of the courtyard.
This is a folk remedy used in rural areas to ward off evil spirits.
When someone has a funeral, people usually wash their hands and face to ward off bad luck before entering the house.
After Gu Changzheng finished washing up, he went back to his room to take another shower and change into clean clothes before coming out to look for someone in the kitchen.
"Honey, the bus to the provincial capital doesn't start until the third day of the Lunar New Year. Shall we leave on the third day?"
Before Lu Huaijiao could even tell Gu Changzheng, he brought it up on his own initiative.
This thoughtful gesture forced a smile onto Lu Huaijiao's face, who was initially annoyed by the noise from next door.
"good."
"My poor baby."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Changzheng leaned down and quickly stole a kiss on her red lips.
Then the person immediately stepped back, acting as if nothing had happened.
Lu Huaijiao glared at him with disdain.
This man is always so bold, isn't he afraid that his parents might suddenly turn around?
Lu Huaijiao hastily ate her New Year's Eve dinner while listening to the funeral music from next door. Fortunately, the music stopped when she went to bed that night, and she managed to get some sleep.
She didn't know if it was because she was traumatized by the frozen man she saw during the day, but she had a nightmare that night.
I dreamt about my past life.
At that time, she had just been admitted to university.
She was in class when she was found. The person handed her a box, saying it was something her husband had left her.
Lu Huaijiao opened the box, which was full of blood. The blood seemed to be alive, bubbling out like a hot spring.
She knew it was a dream.
But the sadness in my dream is something I can't shake off no matter what.
The blood seemed to cling to him, binding him tightly and staining his hands crimson...
The scene shifts, and she sees Gu Changzheng trapped under a truck.
Half of his body was trapped under the car, and blood stained his body red...
At the moment he lost all signs of life, he raised his head and looked into the distance. Lu Huaijiao didn't know where he was looking, but she keenly sensed it.
He was looking at her.
Even though she despised him so much in her past life and ran back to the city to go to school, he still gazed in the direction she was before he closed his eyes.
"Jiaojiao..."
"Gu Changzheng..."
Lu Huaijiao woke up from her dream.
She opened her eyes and saw the man looking at her anxiously. Despite the cold winter weather, he sat up wearing only a vest, seemingly oblivious to the chill, his attention solely focused on her.
Gu Changzheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her open her eyes and wake up.
"Honey, you scared me to death."
Normally, if she cries, he can make himself look silly or tell jokes to comfort her, but when she cries in her dreams, he feels deeply powerless.
Thinking about how no matter how he called her, she didn't open her eyes and kept crying, his heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe.
I wish I could crawl into her dream and kick away the thing that hurt her so much.
Anyone who dares to bully his precious child will be punished, even in his dreams.
Upon hearing Gu Changzheng's voice, Lu Huaijiao shook her head, threw herself into his arms, and apologized in a voice with a thick nasal tone.
"Gu Changzheng, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
She knew that saying sorry now would have no effect on what had happened in her past life, but she still wanted to say sorry. She was truly, truly sorry.
If she hadn't been blinded in her past life, would her husband's final fate have been less tragic?
It's all because of her. In her past life, she only cared about herself and didn't pay any attention to Gu Changzheng, which led to that tragic ending. It's all her fault...
Nighttime can easily make people feel down, and after apologizing, Lu Huaijiao even wanted to slap herself twice.
I'm just angry.
I hate myself from my past life.
Gu Changzheng didn't know what she was dreaming about, but seeing her so upset, his heart ached.
"Honey, why are you suddenly apologizing all of a sudden? Don't worry about having a nightmare, your husband is right here. You don't need to apologize to your husband."
He was still perceptive after all. Even though he didn't know the true content of Lu Huaijiao's dream, he could tell from her reaction that she must have dreamed about something related to him.
Thinking of the version of himself in his dream who dared to make his wife cry so sadly, he was filled with hatred.
I really want to beat myself up in my dreams.
Lu Huaijiao shook her head, crying pitifully.
Gu Changzheng sighed and cupped the person's face, kissing away the tears.
"Honey, you actually want your husband to kiss you, right?"
"No."
Lu Huaijiao raised her head to refute.
"Don't be so conceited. I just feel a little guilty because I beat you up too badly in my dream."
"Silly girl." Gu Changzheng covered her bright eyes, which were filled with tears. "You never have to feel guilty with your husband. No matter what you do, I will never be angry with you."
"Really? So if I ran off with another man, you wouldn't be angry?"
Lu Huaijiao was not ashamed to ask questions.
However, the man who had been doting on her just a moment ago, as if he would hold up the sky for her even if it collapsed, swiftly refuted Lu Huaijiao's wishful thinking.
