See, he was such a fake person. After all these years of restraint and concealing, even though his heart was filled with turmoil, he still wanted to give her a peaceful sky.
“Go to sleep,” said Ye Tingyun softly, landing a soft kiss on her forehead.
He did not sleep for the entire night.
However, Ye Chu had a lot of dreams. She dreamed of a sea of fire. The castle that always appeared in her dreams was encircled with raging fires. The surroundings were silent with the exception of the sound of fire attacking the castle. The round-faced girl that always appeared in her dreams was hitting the ancient door fearfully. She kept screaming for help and for her mother. Her big, dark eyes were filled with terror. The fire had already entered from the windows. She was so scared that she screamed.
She kept hitting the door, yet no one answered. The ancient door and windows had all caught on fire. She was so hot that her face became flushed, and she was covered in sweat. She pulled the door, which had been scorched red by the fire, tentatively. Her tender hand was immediately burned, and she withdrew her hand as she cried. Her white palm was already filled with marks of being burned. She screamed for help, but the only responses she got were the tongues of the flames.
The round-faced girl endured the pain of her burned hand and pulled at the door forcefully. The ancient door let out a coarse sound, yet it yielded a crack. A chain was encircling the door, and it was being burned red by the fire.
“Mother… Nanny, Daisy, save me. Save me…” The round-faced girl was crying until she was short of breath. She ran back and moved a round stool over, attempting to climb onto the window. The old windows were mostly made out of stained glass, and they were very sturdy. With her strength, she was unable to push open the heavy window. With great difficulty, she opened a gap, yet her hands had already been so burned that they were bleeding. The window had been sealed from the outside. A wave of heat from the gap hit her, toppling her over. She fell down from the stool.
The interior of the room was laid with soft carpets. She was not injured from the fall, but both of her hands were burned badly. She climbed up and moved over a bronze statue with great difficulty. She climbed onto the stool again, lifted the bronze statue, and smashed it against the window forcefully.
Her blood dyed the statue read, yet she could not smash the window open. She did not give up and continued smashing. The tongues of fire entered repeatedly. Under the impact of the bronze statue and the fire, cracks appeared on the window. The round-faced girl slammed hard, and the entire window cracked open.
Like an explosion, pieces of glass from the window flew everywhere, into and outside of the room.
She had finally smashed the window open. The wooden planks that sealed the window were all burned away. It was a sea of fire outside. The round-faced girl ran back into the bathroom, submerged a towel into the water, and wrapped herself up with it. She climbed onto the window and wanted to escape for her life. The moment she climbed onto the window, an unknown force suddenly kicked her back. The side of her face was kicked back into the room and smashed into the glass fragments.
“Ah…” Ye Chu screamed as she woke up. She broke out into a cold sweat, and her heart was beating so fast that it was almost losing its rhythm. Her face was completely pale. Ye Tingyun had already turned the bedside lamp on. He leaned over and hugged her. Ye Chu’s body was shivering and cold. She suddenly screamed without stopping. “Ah….”
Her voice was sharp and thin. The close screaming almost broke his eardrums. Ye Tingyun was disturbed. He cupped her face with both of his hands and pressed his lips against her, sealing her screams away. He swallowed her fears into his throat.
Ye Tingyun flipped around and pressed her against the soft mattress. His massive body imprisoned her in his embrace.. He did not kiss her crazily, only pressing his lips against hers, gently and forcefully suppressing the fear and violence in her heart.
