At ten o’clock, Jiang Jingheng threw down the cards in his hand, stood up, and said, "We’re heading back first."
"We should probably head back too, early to bed and early to rise is good for the body," Ning Ze echoed.
He didn’t know if his sweetheart was asleep now. If he went back, maybe he could chat with her on the phone.
Dong Le glanced at him; going to bed this early, could it be that the kid was suffering from a kidney deficiency because he got a girlfriend?
Zhuang Yi stood up, looking at Mu Yan, wanting to say sothing, but there were others present.
It wasn’t until Jiang Jingheng left with Mu Yan that he withdrew his gaze and took a swig from the bottle on the table.
"Brother Zhuang, what’s wrong with you?" Dong Le was startled.
Zhuang Yi looked at him and smiled, "Nothing, your brother is happy today."
"Do you want to drink a few with you?" Dong Le cautiously asked.
"No need, I’m going back to the hotel." Zhuang Yi put down the bottle and walked straight out.
Dong Le watched his back, frowning. Brother Zhuang was bizarre in every way today.
The others gradually dispersed, and everyone soon left.
Back ho, Mu Yan took a shower and lay down on the bed.
After a while, Jiang Jingheng ca out of the bathroom, lay down beside her, and held her in his arms.
She didn’t ntion what Zhuang Yi had said today, and Jiang Jingheng didn’t ask. They fell asleep in each other’s arms.
And Mu Yan had a dream.
In the dream, there was a very large house.
Outside the house was a big garden, filled with sunflowers.
The sun was shining, and the sunflowers were in full bloom. A five or six-year-old girl was running through the flowers, her laughter as clear as silver bells.
"Mom, I’m here, co and catch !"
"Sweetheart, slow down, don’t fall," a young woman said gently.
"Mom, you can’t catch , haha..."
...
The young woman looked helplessly at the little girl, "You’re sweating all over, you’ll surely stink later."
When the little girl heard this, she imdiately walked to her side and said, "Mom, sll , I don’t stink."
"That’s right, our Nuannuan slls the best, how could she stink," a man’s laughter ca.
The little girl followed the voice and bead with delight, "Dad."
She jumped into his arms, and the man picked her up.
"What delicious food did Nuannuan eat today? Seems like she’s heavier, Dad can barely hold her."
"If I give Dad a kiss, will Dad be able to hold then?" The little girl said and kissed him on the cheek.
"Yes, now Dad is full of strength, our Nuannuan is amazing."
Suddenly, Mu Yan opened her eyes. She raised her hand to cover her face, feeling bewildered inside.
The family in the dream was so happy, but... but happiness is never lasting.
She was certain that the people in the photo Zhuang Yi had shown her were her and Mom.
But what does that prove?
"Can’t sleep?" A man’s low voice sounded in her ear.
Mu Yan looked at him and said, "How did you wake up too?"
"I wasn’t asleep," Jiang Jingheng replied, "Did you have a nightmare again?"
"No, it was a beautiful dream, sothing that would only happen in a dream," Mu Yan replied.
"Thinking about what Zhuang Yi said?" he suddenly asked.
Mu Yan honestly said, "If one day I’m not myself, can you accept it?"
"How could you not be you? My wife will always be you from beginning to end."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yan’s heart ward. He always knew the words to comfort her.
She sincerely said, "I don’t want to beco anyone else. I just want to be Mu Yan, to be your wife."
"Okay!" Jiang Jingheng kissed her forehead.
He couldn’t ask for more.
Brother, family, whatever, she didn’t need any of that. Having him was enough.
