Shu Ying didn't know when this longing would end.
The passing of her parents had become a deep-seated worry for her, and she couldn't bear to forget the scene in her dream.
Shu Ying was gripped by a deep panic.
"Mom and Dad, I know you wouldn't want to see me so down. As your daughter, I have to be outstanding, but I really miss you. Where can I go to see you again?"
Outside, she could hear the voices of other women talking, and Shu Ying's face was already covered in tears without her noticing.
Actually, she had been deliberately avoiding sad topics during this period, but today's dream completely immersed her in sadness, and she couldn't pull herself out of it.
Actually, she hadn't slept for very long, but the dream felt very real. Xie Mingzhu hadn't woken up yet.
She hasn't been getting enough rest lately because she's been preoccupied with the results of her personal paternity test. Her complexion has been getting worse these past two days, but today she finally got a satisfactory answer, and she can finally get some extra sleep.
Downstairs remained quiet. Shu Ying simply burrowed herself under the covers, as if only then could she feel safe.
The curtains in the room were half-drawn, allowing only a little light to filter in. She thought of her parents in her dream, the two of them as kind as ever. They seemed never to be angry, and no matter what mistakes she made, they would always give her earnest advice. Their excellent upbringing had benefited her throughout her life.
When Xie Zhiyan pushed open the door and came in, he saw Shu Ying lying on the bed with red, swollen eyes from crying. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and she seemed like a completely different person compared to her usual calm and composed self.
He was stunned for a moment, one hand on the doorknob. After realizing what was happening, he immediately stepped forward. Xie Zhiyan quickly walked over, and the edge of the bed dented. Shu Ying met his gaze with red and swollen eyes.
A single glance reminded Xie Zhiyan of the dream he had in the hotel.
He gently patted Shuying's back with one hand, "Yingying, why are you crying so sadly all of a sudden? Did someone bully you?"
His brows were furrowed tightly. "If you're not comfortable staying here, you can tell me. As long as I can handle it, you don't need to get involved."
The thing he could least bear to see in his life was Shuying shed tears.
Seeing her so heartbroken and sad now is like seeing the person from my dream.
Holding her dying child, Shu Ying pleaded with God for another chance, hoping for a miracle to help her child recover. The two of them huddled in the cowshed, oblivious to the torrential rain outside. In the drafty house, only Shu Ying's desperate questions could be heard.
She didn't know where he was or when he would return, but in that impoverished countryside, she was definitely different from her vibrant self now.
Even though it was just a dream, Xie Zhiyan still didn't dare to think about it too much. Even now, he often feels that his life is not realistic. The aftereffects of that dream are too serious, and the feelings of gain and loss also affect him.
Even knowing that they already had two children, Xie Zhiyan still felt a wave of fear whenever he thought about how he almost lost Shuying.
