The little villain walked into the depths of the forest alone. No matter how Su Jiu called to him from behind, he did not hear her. He walked into the depths of the forest without hesitation.
Deep within the forest was a swamp!
Su Jiu hysterically shouted, but the little villain still walked forward.
He had fallen into the swamp and was slowly drowning. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not get close to him. She could not save him.
Little villain!
Su Jiu’s eyes flew open, and she panted. Her forehead was covered in sweat.
It took her a moment to recover.
At least… it was just a dream.
For the rest of the whole night, Su Jiu didn’t sleep well. She was also absent-minded in class the next day. When evening came and school ended, she was still a little drowsy. Therefore, she didn’t hear what Han Siye said to her.
“Little Jiu, do you want to have dinner together tonight? I know a French restaurant downtown. I’ve heard it’s pretty good.”
‘When Han Siye spoke, Xiao Wei gave him a side glance and said in disdain, “You don’t have to ask. I know that Little Jiu doesn’t want to eat with you.”
“How do you know? You’re not Little Jiu! Get lost! You’re an eyesore.” Han Siye hated Xiao Wei now and was itching to fight with him.
However, with Little Jiu around, he could not get into a fight. He might scare her. If that happened, she would not accept him.
“You’re an eyesore too,” Xiao Wei retorted.
‘The next second, Han Siye glared at him, his brows tightly furrowed. He was obviously unhappy.
The atmosphere between the two boys was tense, but Su Jiu was not in the mood to mediate between them. Her mind was still occupied with the dream she had last night. She was slightly worried.
Does that dream mean something?
Although she didn’t have a reason to believe that, she was still worried for some reason.
Seeing Su Jiu’s worried expression and her not saying anything, Han Siye and Xiao Wei knew that she was not in a good mood. They could only stop the fight for now and ask with concern.
“Little Jiu, what’s wrong? Did something bad happen?”
After Han Siye asked that, Xiao Wei added, “Little Jiu, if there’s anything, you can tell us. Maybe we can help.”
Su Jiu came back to her senses and shook her head. “I’m fine. It’s just that… I didn’t sleep well last night, and I’ve been tired the whole day. I can’t eat with you.”
Han Siye pouted. Hmph, I knew it would be like this.
Even if Little Jiu had slept well last night, she would not eat with him. He knew that.
Seeing that her dark circles were indeed a little obvious, Xiao Wei nodded. “Okay then, Little Jiu, go back early and rest. Don’t stay up late anymore.”
“Okay, then I’ll leave first. You guys should hurry back.” Su Jiu waved at the two of them and got into the car parked by the roadside.
After she got into the car, the chauffeur turned around and asked her, “Miss, two days ago, you said that you were going back to the Su family to have a meal with Old Master Su. When do you plan to go back? Old Master even asked the butler to call me and ask if you’re going back. It seems like he has been
looking forward to it.”
Su Jiu remembered that she had indeed said she would go back for a while. So she nodded. “Then let’s go tonight!”
“Okay!” The chauffeur happily started the car.
The car slowly drove away from the school’s entrance. Su Jiu turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window. She looked at the students walking around in different uniforms and suddenly thought of the figure she had seen behind the banyan tree the previous day..
