Chapter 196 Who are they?
An Ran suddenly sat up from the bed, her forehead covered with beads of sweat, her eyes wide open, and she was breathing heavily.
She got out of bed, staggered to the table, picked up the kettle, poured a glass of cold water, then tilted her head back and gulped down the whole glass of water.
After drinking the water, she put down the cup, supported her hands on the table, and took a few deep breaths until her pounding heart gradually calmed down.
Anran staggered back to the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed, and stared ahead with empty eyes.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She curled up her legs, hugged her knees tightly with her hands, and slowly sat up with her back against the headboard.
She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself, but the images in her mind kept coming back.
This dream was too real, making An Ran feel a little scared. She didn't know why she had such a dream, and it was so clear.
Who are the man in white and the girl in red in her dream? , and who is the man in black standing with a sword? He gives people a mysterious feeling.
An Ran frowned, trying to sort out her thoughts. She shook her head. She was no longer sleepy at this moment.
“Jiaojiao.”
As An Ran finished her words, Jiaojiao's figure appeared in front of An Ran.
It rubbed its eyes, its face full of sleepiness and dissatisfaction, and muttered: "Master, it's so late at night, why don't you sleep?"
An Ran did not answer. Her eyes were fixed on Jiao Jiao, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes.
Jiaojiao was a little at a loss when looking at Anran. Her body couldn't help but tremble and she stammered.
"Master... Master, why are you staring at me? It's so creepy..."
An Ran moved slightly and changed her sitting position, but her eyes were still fixed on Jiao Jiao. She asked slowly.
"Jiaojiao, are you hiding something from me? Do you know something that I don't know?"
Jiaojiao's heart tightened, and her eyes were a little evasive. She tried to explain: "No... no, Master, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? What on earth do you want to do? I really don't know what you are talking about..."
However, Anran did not believe Jiaojiao's words. She stood up, walked towards Jiaojiao step by step, and spoke in a low and serious voice.
"Jiaojiao, don't lie to me. Tell me, what do you know? Why do I always feel like I've forgotten something very important?"
"Master, what are you doing all of a sudden? I won't talk to you anymore. I'm so tired from working all day. I'm going to rest."
Jiaojiao lowered her head and dared not look at Anran again. She rushed to the window in a panic and was knocked down, but she got up and slipped out without saying a word.
Anran looked out the window thoughtfully. She was sure Jiaojiao must know something. But what made Jiaojiao keep her mouth shut? She never doubted Jiaojiao's loyalty to her.
But this question lingered in her mind, making her extremely confused and uneasy.
The sky in the east was slightly brighter than before. The sun had not yet risen, but a few rays of sunlight were already shining through the clouds onto the earth. Anjia Village began to become lively, with the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking intertwined and endless.
After a night of thinking, she still had no idea and found no clues or answers. Finally, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, deciding to put the matter behind her for the time being.
She stretched, then opened the door and walked out.
"Ran Ran, why are you up so early? There's nothing I can do at home that requires your help. You can take a rest for a while."
Lin Qingwan was holding a broom in her hand and smiled warmly when she saw An Ran coming out.
"Mom, I'm already asleep."
An Ran walked up to Lin Qingwan and took the broom from her hand.
"Let me do it!"
"Okay!" Lin Qingwan did not refuse, but happily handed the broom to An Ran. Afterwards, Lin Qingwan turned and walked into the kitchen to help An Feiwan prepare breakfast.
Time passed slowly, and the sun shone through the clouds, warm and bright. The breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of fresh air.
At this time, An Ning and Tang Shixun walked into the yard together. Since Anran's house had limited rooms, they temporarily stayed at Yadong's house.
Tang Shixun is a person with easy-going personality and approachable personality, completely different from those spoiled and arrogant rich kids. His manners are elegant and generous, giving people a sense of intimacy.
When they stepped into the yard, they happened to see An Ran holding a broom and sweeping the yard carefully. She bent her body slightly, and her waist-length hair was gently tied up with a wooden hairpin and fell behind her head.
As she moved, strands of hair fluttered gently and fell beside her cheeks. Her snow-white skin was slightly flushed, as tempting as a ripe apple.
Sure enough, beautiful people are pleasing to the eye no matter what they do.
"Brother Tang, Ning'er, good morning!" An Ran raised her head and greeted the two with a smile.
"Good morning, sister!"
"Good morning, Anran!"
Tang Shixun's eyes darkened, but he still had a gentle smile on his face. Ever since he learned that An Ran already had someone in her heart, he decided to bury his feelings deep in his heart and no longer let it bother An Ran. He hopes to protect her silently as a friend and give her the most sincere blessings.
"Shixun is up, wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon!"
An Feiwan greeted Tang Shixun warmly, her eyes full of love and joy. He was very pleased with the handsome young man in front of him, and he couldn't help but glance at his daughter again.
Alas... An Feiwan sighed softly in her heart, feeling regretful.
"Uncle An, don't worry! I'm so sorry to trouble you!"
Tang Shixun responded politely with a smile on his face and a gentle and kind look in his eyes.
"Haha, what is this kid talking about! It's not a problem at all! If you like, you are always welcome to come to your uncle's house to play. Don't be polite, just treat this place as your own home."
Compared to the naughty son at home who is always causing trouble, An Feiwan prefers a well-behaved, sensible and polite child like Tang Shixun.
"Okay! Thank you, uncle!"
Tang Shixun thanked him with a smile, but his heart was filled with loss and helplessness.
His eyes fell on the busy An Ran. Although he could feel the love and appreciation of the An family, all this could not change one fact - she did not like him.
"I still have some things to take care of, so I'll probably leave after breakfast."
"Oh, you have to leave so soon! But uncle won't keep you here. The New Year is coming soon, and you still need to go home and spend the New Year with your family."
An Ran put down the broom in her hand after hearing this.
"Brother Tang, I have prepared some gifts. Please help me give them to Grandpa Su and Aunt Su."
"Haha, you're always thinking about them. Alas, now that you're at home, grandpa and my mom dislike me even more."
"hehe……."
The two smiled at each other, and any discomfort between them instantly disappeared.
