True Dream

Liu Erlong did not know how she had fallen asleep, nor when she had done so. In her dream, she seemed to have returned to those days of nursing, except the slight pain felt so real!

"!!!"

Whoosh—!

Liu Erlong abruptly opened her eyes, panic filling them as her hands hurriedly covered her chest and her breathing quickened. Sensing the utter silence around her, she realized Ye Qiu was nowhere to be seen. Her jade-like hand could not help clutching the collar of her nightgown as she recalled last night. There was still a faint dampness at her chest, carrying a slightly fishy-sweet scent.

Her delicate body even retained a subtle sense of strangeness, tinged with that young man's scent.

"Phew~"

Liu Erlong breathed a sigh of relief, her face flushed. She was certain that last night had not been a dream. She had truly slept in Ye Qiu's arms all night, and she had even fed him until he was full. At that thought, Liu Erlong was filled with shame. Yet the disgust she had expected never rose in her heart.

Splash—!

The sound of water splashing came from within the wall facing the bed.

Liu Erlong immediately tensed and turned her gaze toward it. The wall was still made of one-way glass. Unlike before, after having a child, Liu Erlong had installed curtains over it. At that moment, through the curtains that had not been fully drawn, she could see part of the scene inside.

Ye Qiu's back as he soaked in the bath.

Looking toward the door beside it, she realized the sound was coming through the gap of the door, which had not been shut tightly.

Liu Erlong's feelings were somewhat complicated. She had only just relaxed when a soft, sleepy murmur sounded beside her ear.
