Dream? (2)

"You... right, what's your name? I forgot to ask!" Xuan Yuanbing was about to call Zhen Xiaoyan, but then realized that he didn't seem to know her name.

"My name is Zhen Xiaoyan!" Zhen Xiaoyan replied.

"Xiao Yan, come here, let's have a late-night talk. Tell me everything about Ye Lang! Tell me about all the people and things related to him!!" Xuan Yuanbing pulled Zhen Xiaoyan to sit at a table, staring at Zhen Xiaoyan excitedly, eagerly awaiting Zhen Xiaoyan story.

In fact, Xuan Yuanbing had been asleep for twenty-one years, so how could she be sleepy now? Therefore, even if she were put to bed, she wouldn't be able to sleep and would just quietly keep Ye Lang.

If she had to choose, she would prefer to hear more about Ye Lang; a late-night conversation by candlelight would be ideal!

"If you're interested, I'll tell you, but you have to choose one key point, otherwise I won't finish even if I talk all night! Don't even mention one night, it might take a year to finish!" Zhen Xiaoyan said obediently, as if she didn't know how to refuse others.

"It's alright, let's start from the beginning. If we can't finish, I'll ask him in my dreams later. We have plenty of time..." Xuan Yuanbing said.

"That's true, you guys definitely have a lot of time!" Zhen Xiaoyan said softly, with a hint of envy in her voice.

"However, I still prefer being able to feel it. The feeling of holding him before was much better than in my dream! Besides, we couldn't talk about our identities before, and I wonder if it will be the same in the future!" Xuan Yuanbing said with a smile, but what she was actually more afraid of was something else, which was whether she would be able to meet him in her dreams in the future.

It used to be possible, but I was in a different state back then. Now it's different. I don't know if the connection to dreams still exists!

However, even if he doesn't exist, I can still see him in the future, and now I can take the initiative. I don't have to wait there like before, sometimes not even knowing if he will come back.

That feeling was so terrifying; she would never forget it!

Recalling that feeling, Xuan Yuanbing realized that the current problem wasn't really a problem at all!

"You can start now!"

"Then I'll begin, starting with what I know. When Ye Lang was little, he was a bit slow..."

"He's not very smart now!"

"The one from before was probably a bit clumsy, but also a bit cuter... back then..."

The moon rose and set, but the sun did not rise, and the sky was pitch black—the darkest hour before dawn. At this time, Zhen Xiaoyan was still having a long talk with Xuan Yuanbing by candlelight. They had only talked about when Ye Lang was seven or eight years old...

At this point, Zhen Xiaoyan was already a little tired, but she still insisted on talking. Firstly, she didn't know how to refuse, and secondly, she also really liked talking about Ye Lang.

"Alright, go get some sleep, it's almost dawn! I'm going to sleep too, I'm going to find that little idiot!" Although Zhen Xiaoyan didn't say it, Xuan Yuanbing could tell, so she stopped talking.

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap first!" Zhen Xiaoyan nodded and said.

"I'll help you!" Xuan Yuanbing said with a smile.

"Help me?!" Zhen Xiaoyan was a little confused. How could she help with sleeping? But she quickly realized that it was through magic.

Xuan Yuanbing casually cast a Light Magic, which enveloped Zhen Xiaoyan, making her feel very comfortable. This spell was a type of Light Magic that helped people restore their spirit, and its effect would be even greater when combined with sleep.

Light Magic is indeed a very interesting type of magic. Most of it is for auxiliary healing, but of course, there are also some terrifyingly powerful spells.

After settling Zhen Xiaoyan in, Xuan Yuanbing flew over to Ye Lang. Looking at Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess, who were tightly embracing Ye Lang fully clothed, she smiled and, like the two of them, embraced Ye Lang fully clothed, but she was on top, as this was the only available position.

Although they were very close to Ye Lang, they could not be completely honest with Ye Lang, especially Ye Lanyu, who was the older sister and had to be even more discreet about it.

They always slept with Ye Lang fully clothed; this was the most they ever dared to do!

Xuan Yuanbing held Ye Lang in her arms, but did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, she quietly watched Ye Lang, perhaps because she was not sleepy yet, or perhaps because she did not want to fall asleep.

She didn't want to fall asleep because she was still a little scared.

"Silly girl, why do I always feel like I'm still dreaming? Maybe it's because I'm scared. I'm scared that none of this is real, that I'm still sleeping inside that Ice Crystal..."

"From the moment I held you in my arms until now, it all feels a little unreal. Everything happened so coincidentally! It's not just hard for you to process, it's hard for me to process either. I never imagined that the first thing I'd see when I woke up would be you, and you'd be right there in my arms!!"

"I never imagined that you would be the one to save me and repair my broken body! But this also showed you my ugliest side. I wonder if you'll despise me in the future... I'm warning you, you can't despise me, even after seeing all that..."

"Silly girl, I want to sleep, but I'm still afraid to sleep... I'm afraid that after I fall asleep, I'll find that it was all just a dream..."

"If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up..."

Xuan Yuanbing spoke slowly, slowly, slowly...

She gradually fell asleep. This time she had a dream in which she was shopping, eating, and playing with Ye Lang.

However, this dream is just a dream; the Ye Lang in it is not the real Ye Lang, but rather an image from her dream...

Xuan Yuanbing probably didn't know that while she was whispering to Ye Lang, two pairs of ears were secretly listening. Their master had been asleep for a long time, and it wasn't a specific person, so they naturally woke up from such a commotion.

It was only after waking up that they heard Xuan Yuanbing's words, which deeply touched their hearts and made them realize the fear and helplessness deep within Xuan Yuanbing's heart. Twenty-one years of dreams—anyone would be terrified in that situation!

And Ye Lang is now her only support, the only support deep in her heart!

Perhaps I should be nicer to her...

"Silly girl!! Where are you?!" The next morning, when Xuan Yuanbing woke up, she found that there was no one beside her, and she was sleeping peacefully in her own bed.

She started to feel a little scared, scared that everything from yesterday had really been a dream!
