Pei Yansi was startled when he heard her voice.
Her speech, tinged with faint crying, grievance, and reluctance. Even in her sleep, in moments of incoherence, he seemed to be able to detect the sadness in her tone.
He suddenly remembered her former identity.
A pang of pain followed in Pei Yansi's heart.
He could probably guess what kind of dream Shen Heyu had had. He gently reached out his hand and slowly wiped away her tears, then said to her, "I won't leave, I'll always be here with you."
Shen Heyu couldn't hear his words, continuously encased in her own nightmares. Her grip on Pei Yansi grew stronger and stronger, with no signs of awakening, as tears ceaselessly streamed from the corner of her eyes, "Please, don't leave me behind..."
"We promised to rely on each other for life..."
If at first Pei Yansi didn't know who she was referring to in her dream, then by now, her words were enough to make it clear.
She had dreamt of Shen Fanshuang.
