Shen Yiyue seemed to see Ning Yu in a daze, but she just muttered something. She changed from lying on her back to lying on her side, and by the way, she twisted away Ning Yu's hand that was pinching her nose.

She dreamed of Xiaoyu again. She must be dreaming! She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep again. She seemed to not believe that Ning Yu would come to her room in the middle of the night.

Then after 3 seconds, she felt something was wrong and suddenly opened her eyes.

At this time, she was facing away from Ning Yu, so Ning Yu couldn't see that she had opened her eyes, but Shen Yiyue was already panicking.

What. What's happening?!

Why did Xiaoyu appear in her room in the middle of the night?

She saw the thin shadow on the wall. It was so familiar that she could recognize it was Ning Yu without even looking back.

What's more, I could smell that unique scent on her.

It is said that everyone has a special fragrance on their body. Although it is often explained as the smell of shower gel or soap, it is true that sometimes you can quickly remember someone by that smell.

Shen Yiyue felt her heartbeat seemed to quicken. She didn't know why Ning Yu suddenly appeared. She was hesitating whether to turn around.

Or should I continue to pretend to sleep and not notice? The most important thing is that I have no idea what Ning Yu wants to do. She can't help but start to imagine this or that.

Suddenly, Shen Yiyue remembered something, the night when the two of them left the small supermarket.

I had a nightmare in which my sister and parents all turned into zombies, and then I couldn't fall asleep anymore.

That night, I went to Ning Yu's room and talked to her.

Shen Yiyue still remembers that Ning Yu comforted her with clumsy words and actions.

Could it be that Xiaoyu also had a nightmare? Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yiyue no longer hesitated, turned around, and saw Ning Yue with his back to the window.

Ning Yu thought she had fallen asleep again and was about to stop disturbing her and end this prank.

As a result, just as she was about to leave, Shen Yiyue turned around, looked at her and asked tentatively:

"Xiaoyu, are you having a nightmare?"

Nightmare? Ning Yu was stunned. She dreamed of returning to her previous life and being shot to death by her previous self. This should be considered a nightmare.

So Ning Yu slowly nodded in acknowledgment.

When Shen Yiyue saw Ning Yu nod, she thought to herself that this was indeed the case. She moved inside, then stood the pillow up and motioned for Ning Yu to sit on it.

"Then let me come and talk to you?"

Ning Yu looked at her and saw that she did not show any resentment or impatience for being suddenly woken up. She just wanted to hear him talk.

She wanted to say, "It's okay, I'll go home first," but swallowed the words back.

He sat down next to Shen Yiyue in silence and leaned against her. The scene seemed familiar, as if it had happened once before.

"So, what kind of nightmare is it?"

Shen Yiyue thought about it and felt that it would be better to start with the content of the dream.

"I Dreamed"

Ning Yu was about to tell Shen Yiyue about her dream when she realized something was wrong. How could she possibly tell Shen Yiyue that she had a past life and was a killer?

You wouldn't believe such a thing, right? Thinking of this, Ning Yu suddenly changed her mind and asked another question: "If one day, I suddenly disappeared, what would you think?"

Ning Yu had just finished speaking when Shen Yiyue suddenly turned around and looked at her. Ning Yu could see obvious panic in her eyes.

"Why did you suddenly say this, Xiaoyu? Are you going to leave the Ark Base? Of course I will go with you!"

She looked at Ning Yu nervously, thinking that Ning Yu had made some decision and came to see her.

When Shen Yiyue thought that Ning Yu might leave her alone, she felt that it was unimaginable. Why did she feel this way? "Uh, no, I just asked what if."

Ning Yu saw that she seemed to have misunderstood, so she quickly explained.

If one day you can choose to go back to your previous life or stay here, what will you choose?

Ning Yu actually already had a vague idea of ​​the answer.

"Can't!"

Shen Yiyue suddenly held Ning Yu's hand tightly. Ning Yu felt that her strength was a little too strong, and even her tone was more resolute than ever before.

She looked at Ning Yu seriously, and then suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. Her hands suddenly softened, and she pursed her lips and thought for a while before organizing her words:

"Didn't we have an agreement? Why did Xiaoyu suddenly think like this?"

She seemed to suddenly realize something, and then she asked softly:

"Or am I just too useless and no longer of any use?"

Ning Yu felt that this misunderstanding was getting worse. She began to seriously regret why she asked such a strange question and had to continue explaining: "No, no, I mean, what if it was some kind of force majeure?"

"force majeure?"

Shen Yiyue frowned. Although she knew it was not what she had misunderstood, she still did not understand force majeure.

She asked, "Someone wants to kill Xiaoyu?"

"Or has Xiaoyu encountered some life-threatening danger?"

It seemed that she was trying to give some possibilities. Just after she finished speaking, she looked at Ning Yu seriously and said, "No matter who wants to hurt Xiao Yu, I will not allow it."

"If someone wants Xiaoyu to disappear from my side, then I will make that person disappear! No matter what the cost."

"I will protect Xiaoyu, just like Xiaoyu once protected me."

Ning Yu looked at her genuine appearance and felt inexplicably moved. This feeling was indeed something she had never experienced before.

I have always been alone before, with no connection to the world, and always felt out of place in this happy world.

Interacting with this human being is taking someone's life, nothing more.

But now someone told her that she was important, she was not allowed to disappear, she was needed, and she was needed in a non-profit relationship.

Ning Yu's grandmother in her previous life had also given her this warm feeling. That feeling had become very distant and vague, but now she seemed to feel it again.

But this time it was a completely different, different kind of warmth.

"Thanks."

Faced with such a sincere answer, Ning Yu didn't know how to organize her words and just said thank you in a depressed tone.

She always felt that she should say something more, but she didn't know what to say.

This was the first time that Shen Yiyue heard Ning Yu say thank you to her seriously. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, because Ning Yu always looked so cold and didn't seem like the kind of person who would say such words.

Although Ning Yu has changed a lot recently, Shen Yiyue still feels a little surprised.

However, she soon noticed that Ning Yu didn't know what to say, so she immediately asked, "So, Xiaoyu, what did you dream about?"

Ning Yu heard her question, thought about it carefully, and said to her in a way that did not reveal the details:

"I dreamed that I went to a strange place. I went there alone, and you were gone."

Shen Yiyue's curious expression paused, and she seemed to finally understand why Ning Yu came to find her. She felt happy in her heart, and at the same time, she thought of a new question.

She then asked, "Similarly, if one day I really disappeared, what would you think, Xiaoyu?"
