The wind dried her tears on her face, and her skin felt so cold that it felt like it was being torn apart.
His eyes were hollow, his lips trembling. "Later, my dad got so angry that he had a heart attack. He didn't survive the delay and collapsed. Lu Bo had used up most of my family's connections, and they started to dislike me for being useless..."
"I was pregnant at the time, and Zhang Guifang was torturing me. She no longer treated me with the kindness my father used to show me."
"Their family eats and drinks at our house, and our family arranges good jobs for them. But after my father fell ill, they act like ungrateful wolves, afraid that my family will take advantage of them in return."
"Lu Qing's work was arranged by my sister-in-law, but at home, Lu Qing has no respect for me as her sister-in-law. Not only does she order me around, she also thinks that I, a sister-in-law without a family background, am embarrassing her."
Being held in Su Lixuan's arms, Sheng Yan had no way to warm herself up.
Whenever she thought of everything in her dream, she felt a chill in her bones.
Sheng Yan: "I remember in my dream, I had an argument with Lu Qing. I told her that I was useless as a sister-in-law and that if she had the ability, she could find another useful sister-in-law. Whoever was more capable could find her."
"My original intention was to have her find her eldest and second sisters-in-law, and not make trouble with me, the third sister-in-law, but who knew she would turn around and say to me smugly..."
"She said she'd soon have a capable new sister-in-law, and told me, a useless person like me, to pack my bags and get out of here as soon as possible."
"At first I thought she was just saying that out of anger, that she was just trying to piss me off because I was down and out, but later I realized she wasn't just saying that out of anger, she was telling the truth."
"Lu Bo saw that my family was useless, so he got scheming again. He stepped on me and used the good job my family found him to climb higher up the ladder."
"He told the woman that I was the one who was so shameless that I had to marry him. He said that I deliberately used my reputation and innocence to frame him in order to marry him, so he had no choice but to marry me. He also said that he didn't even touch me after marrying me without any feelings..."
Thinking of the grievances and humiliations she experienced in her dreams, Sheng Yan, no matter how shy she was, began to miss Dao Lu Bo.
Su Lixuan sighed: "What happened next?"
Sheng Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Li Xuan, don't you think what I'm saying to you is quite nonsensical and childish?"
The next day after she had the dream, she told her family everything she had dreamed about. She felt that this was a revelation from fate.
If Su Lixuan and her husband had not extended a helping hand to her at the critical moment, her future would have ended the same as in her dream.
In other words, the direction in the dream was the future that almost happened. If Su Lixuan had not intervened and saved her, she would not have had a good ending in this life.
This was Sheng Yan's intuition, and also her understanding of that incredibly real dream.
It’s a pity that her family doesn’t understand her, and her father doesn’t have time to listen to her tell an absurd dream.
Her mother would only comfort her that it was just a dream, and that she had dreamed of those things because she was frightened by the conspiracy. It was just the shadow of reality projected into the dream.
Sheng Yan: "At first I didn't dare to tell you what I dreamed about, because I was afraid you would think I was crazy or childish, and you would bring up a dream that doesn't mean anything."
She gave Su Lixuan a bitter smile: "I'm afraid you will laugh at me for being fragile. I think about something during the day and dream about it at night."
"No." Su Lixuan looked at Sheng Yan distressedly and said solemnly, "I don't think you are fragile or naive. Dreams are not necessarily nonsense. Xiaoyan, have you heard of this saying?"
Sheng Yan: "What do you mean?"
Su Lixuan: "Sometimes what you dream about may be what you are experiencing in another world."
After hearing this, Sheng Yan murmured in a daze: "...The me in that other world...had a really hard life..." Being calculated, used, insulted, and abandoned.
Sheng Yan still feels panicked when she thinks about that nightmare.
She didn't even have the courage to tell Su Lixuan what the ending of her dream was.
It's nothing more than that the relatives are sad and the enemies are happy, the bad guys have the last laugh, and the good guys are reduced to dust. She was afraid that if she said it out loud, it would implicate Su Lixuan and make her hold her breath with her.
Taking out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, Su Lixuan softly comforted her: "Xiaoyan, maybe... we can try to think about the problem from a different angle."
Sheng Yan: "What angle?"
Su Lixuan: "Just like you said earlier that you had a really hard life in the other world, maybe we can look at this issue from a different perspective. What I mean is..."
She pointed to the bustling scene on the ice rink and how leisurely the two of them were sitting there. "What I mean is, let's say we're standing from the perspective of your dream, that is, your perspective in another world."
"If you in another world saw that you escaped at the critical juncture of your destiny and didn't fall into Lu Bo's trap, and saw that you took your father for a physical examination early on to eliminate the hidden dangers in his body."
"Everything is moving in a better direction. You have a brighter and happier future. You won't lose everything and ruin your life because of the intervention of villains."
She smiled: "Tell me, what would you think in another world? What would you think from her perspective?"
Sheng Yan stood there in a daze, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.
She suddenly became very afraid that her dream self would be jealous of her real self for having escaped the disaster and not having the tragic ending like in the dream...
In other words, why is she so unlucky and miserable in the other world, while she is so lucky in this world?
Seeing her tangle, Su Lixuan shook her head: "Xiaoyan, don't think too much and make yourself suffer. No matter whether the you in the dream is in another world or not, whether it is real and vivid, you are you, aren't you?"
"Could it be that you hope that you in the other world are not living a good life? If she is living a good life, you will be jealous of her?"
Sheng Yan was as if she had been scalded, and quickly said: "I can't!"
She is not that kind of person!
"That's right." Su Lixuan patted her head, "You won't, and neither will you in the other world."
"The you in the other world will only feel that the you in this world has protected yourself very well, that nothing is too late, that everything is still possible, that life is happy and there is hope for the future... How wonderful."
So don’t get caught up in pain and confusion anymore. What does it matter whether it was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly or the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?
True or false, true or false, it will not hinder us from living a good life now.
The most realistic thing is to live your present life well and not let down the original destiny line that has been broken.
Su Lixuan didn't know why Sheng Yan dreamed of her original fate, but it was just as Su Lixuan said.
If Sheng Yan in the original book knew that her other self had jumped out of the Lu family's fire pit, and was no longer forced to choose the wrong path at the crossroads of fate, but instead embarked on a smooth path that belonged to her... she would definitely be very happy.
