As Shen Qiyin was about to wake up, the first thing she heard was a cry.
It was Xianglan's voice.
She listened as the girl sobbed and rambled on, "Miss, Miss?"
"How could someone who was sleeping soundly just not wake up?"
"Did you get your revenge, but then your soul got dragged back to your past life?!"
The more Xianglan talked, the more plausible it seemed, and she suddenly felt terrible. She grabbed her arm and shook it desperately, crying, "Yinyin! Yinyin! Don't leave me!"
What will I do if you die?
"Wake up!"
...
At this moment, Li Zhenzhu's voice rang out, accompanied by footsteps. She complained, seemingly displeased, "You two greedy girls! Breakfast has been cooked for a while now, and you haven't come to eat. Turns out you haven't gotten up yet."
"What? Now you're not only greedy, you're lazy too?"
When Xianglan saw her arrive, she grasped at her as if she were a lifeline and quickly got up to pull her to the bedside, saying, "Madam, you've come at the right time. Please look after Miss for me, and I'll go find Rendong and Lord Xiao!"
Li Zhenzhu's brow furrowed: "What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know." Xianglan's face fell, tears streaming down her face. "When I woke up, she looked like she was having a nightmare, and I couldn't wake her up no matter how I called her."
It would be abnormal for an ordinary person to act like this, let alone Xianglan, who knew Shen Qiyin's "background" and was very afraid that there was something wrong with her "inner self".
Fortunately, just as they were talking, Chen Xiyin slowly woke up.
"It's alright now." She propped herself up on the bed, wiped away the tears on her face, and said to Xianglan, "It's alright, don't worry, it was just a dream."
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Xianglan relaxed and burst into even louder sobs.
"You're finally awake!"
"You were sleeping so soundly, do you know you almost scared me to death!" Xianglan said while crying, and punched her chest with her little fists.
Shen Qiyin, who was gently comforting her, suddenly froze upon hearing these words.
She grabbed Xianglan's wrist and said sternly, "What did you say?"
"You almost scared me to death! What happened?" Xianglan sobbed, her breathing unsteady.
"No." Shen Qiyin shook her head: "What did you just say?"
"What the hell?"
"right!"
"What's wrong?" Xianglan sniffed and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve without any regard for her image.
Shen Qiyin frowned and asked, "Where did you hear that from?"
"What happened to our hometown?"
“...My master once said the same thing to you; it was his favorite saying.”
"Your master knows the word 'damn it'?!" Xianglan perked up instantly: "Could he be from the same place as me? Where is he now?"
Xianglan was extremely excited.
Could it be that I'm about to find companions?
But then, Shen Qiyin's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her, chilling her to the bone.
Shen Qiyin lowered her eyes and said softly, "He's gone."
"Ah... I'm sorry..."
Shen Qiyin shook her head slightly.
Li Zhenzhu only half understood what they were saying. She wasn't curious or asked, and simply said, "We can talk about it later. Let's go eat first, or it will get cold."
"Um."
After washing up, Chen Qiyin and Xianglan went to Li Zhenzhu's courtyard for a meal.
Remembering something, she said to Li Zhenzhu, "When spring comes and the weather gets warmer, my senior brother will be getting married. He wants us to move in with them."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenzhu paused in her act of picking up food.
She then casually replied, "Go ahead, it's great, it'll be more fun with lots of people. Don't worry about things here, I'll take care of things."
"Aren't you going?"
"Me too?" Li Zhenzhu asked, somewhat surprised.
Shen Qiyin replied with a matter-of-fact expression, "Naturally, it's because I wanted to invite you to live with me, which is why I brought this up with you."
Li Zhenzhu's eyes clearly gleamed, but she said, "You two are fellow disciples, as close as brothers and sisters. It would be wonderful if you moved in together so you could look after each other."
"But what's the deal with me going along with them?"
"Let's forget about it."
Shen Qiyin took a bite of food and said casually, "Since you married my father, even if you are only a stepmother, you still have the title of 'mother,' so I am your daughter."
"As mother and daughter, it is only right that I take you wherever I go. How can you talk about 'what kind of relationship'?"
Li Zhenzhu was stunned.
Seeing this, Xianglan cleverly interjected, "Oh, Madam, let's go together! Come on, come on! It's more lively with more people, isn't it better than us staying at home with nothing to do?"
"Alright then..."
Before he could finish saying the word "ba," he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps outside.
The three of them looked towards the door at the same time and saw that it was Honeysuckle striding in.
After last night's dream, seeing honeysuckle again now, Shen Qiyin has an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Needless to say, I was moved and grateful; in addition, I felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, Ren Dong from her previous life wasn't implicated too much. Although the path of the Thousand Eagle Guards was not smooth, having Xiao Yan's protection was better than her being all alone and helpless.
As soon as Ren Dong entered, she saw Shen Qiyin looking at her with a very complicated expression, which made her feel a little strange.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Shen Qiyin simply shook her head, asking instead, "Having returned at this hour, have you had breakfast yet?"
Not yet.
