Chapter 433 There is a telepathic connection between relatives. As Shu Ying spoke, she broke down, her voice filled with sobs.
Xie Zhiyan quickly raised his hand and patted Shu Ying's back.
"Okay, okay... It's alright. If you don't want to remember, you don't have to tell me."
Shu Ying shook her head in confusion, her eyes brimming with tears, and nestled back into Xie Zhiyan's arms.
“Ayan, in my dream my mother was gone… She disappeared into the sea, and I watched her struggle but couldn’t save her.”
"Even now, when I close my eyes, I still see my mother's face when she begged me for help. She must have been full of hope that I could save her, but I couldn't actually save her..."
"Am I really that useless? I couldn't even save my own mother..."
Xie Zhiyan felt increasingly distressed as he listened, and kept comforting her.
"No, it's just a dream."
"But many people say that there is a telepathic connection between relatives. Does my dream about this mean that something really happened to my mother...?"
"Ayan, tell me... where are my parents? What have they been through lately? Could they be...?"
Just thinking about it made Shu Ying feel like she was suffocating.
"Even though I know it's a dream, I can't help but let my mind wander; it's like my brain is out of my control..."
"Moreover, I used to never remember my dreams after waking up, but this time I remember them so clearly, I can't forget even the smallest details. Is this some kind of sign from fate?"
In a state of extreme worry, panic, and fear, even the slightest disturbance or possibility can become a source of tension and anxiety for her.
While she felt she was making a mountain out of a molehill, she couldn't help but let her thoughts wander further and in directions that frightened her even more.
Xie Zhiyan hugged Shu Ying tightly, gently and rhythmically patting her shoulders. Although he didn't say much, he genuinely offered her companionship and comfort.
In this moment when she was prone to overthinking, the silent and steadfast companionship gradually calmed Shu Ying's anxious emotions, and she couldn't help but keep crying.
Xie Zhiyan rested his chin on Shu Ying's hair, gently wiped away the tears of the person in his arms, and continued to hold her, stroking her hair.
While comforting Shu Ying, Xie Zhiyan looked out the window at the boundless darkness, his eyes filled with even greater determination.
He was determined to get Shu Ying to clear her parents' names and remove their stigma.
The Shu Ying family has been quietly and anonymously contributing to the country.
Their family made so many contributions during the war. With such achievements, anyone else would probably have been given a government job, and probably a high-ranking one at that.
However, Shu Ying's family did not seek fame or fortune, and due to various obstacles, they kept the secret quietly until she disappeared, and continued to make contributions to the country within their capacity.
If Shuying hadn't noticed and discovered her parents' achievements, they probably would never have told anyone, even until their deaths.
Perhaps they simply have a sincere heart, dedicating themselves to the country without expecting anything in return, thinking of staying quietly in the shadows and stepping forward to provide support whenever the country needs it.
But such a sincere person is now missing, his fate unknown.
How could one not be anxious?
Although Xie Zhiyan could not truly stand in Shu Ying's shoes and understand her feelings.
Even as an outsider, he was already heartbroken; one can only imagine how much more pained Shu Ying must have felt.
Xie Zhiyan's confidence grew even stronger.
He was determined to find Shuying's family, no matter what.
Because of this dream, Shu Ying was covered in sweat and almost cried herself to sleep, finally falling into a deep sleep just before dawn.
It wasn't because her emotions had completely calmed down, but because she was exhausted from crying and fell into a deep sleep.
