Regardless of whether she thought that this was a dream or something else, Han Qing didn’t do what she asked him to and instead said nothing.
In the end, Yan was upset about that and snuggled close to him. She thought, Since this is my dream anyway. In reality, there’s nothing I can do to him, but now that I’m in my dream, I can finally do something. Hence, Yan started to cause trouble with everything she had. “You are such a bad person. I asked you to say something nice to me yet you can’t agree to that. Now, you even dare to come into my dreams! During the day, when you left me alone, I dare not take revenge against you for that. Now… I want to settle the score with you once and for all!”
She tugged at Han Qing with her limbs and he only tried to avoid her. However, not long after that, she clung onto him like an octopus with her arms around his neck. “You evil man! How dare you leave me alone without saying anything! Apologize to me!”
Han Qing was exhausted with the scene she was throwing. He lowered his head and heaved a sigh before asking, “Didn’t you ask the shop worker to let me know to leave first?”
Upon hearing that, Yan immediately widened her eyes. “You’ll leave just because I asked you to? Don’t you know that girls don’t mean what they say, especially to the people whom they like?”
Han Qing remained silent upon hearing that. In all honesty, he really didn’t know about that. How could he figure out what a woman thought?
“I don’t care! You’ve abandoned me and I want to settle the score with you!” Looking at the handsome face right in front of her, Yan became braver. Since he has already rejected me, it’s not too much to kiss him in my dreams. Thinking of this, Yan puckered her lips as she inched toward Han Qing.
His expression changed immediately as he turned his face away and the kiss fell gently on his cheeks. “Argh! You’re not allowed to avoid me!” When Yan didn’t manage to kiss him, she growled loudly and prepared to kiss him again.
Han Qing pinched her chin and asked her not to fool around in a cold voice, “If you continue with this, I’ll knock you out right here.”
Yan stopped and no longer made a scene. However, she returned to her pitiful look with tears in her eyes. She returned to the bed and wiped her tears off, sobbing, “I’m really miserable. No matter if it’s reality or if it’s in my dream, you never treat me well.” She wiped the tears off her face forcefully and turned her back to him. “Leave.”
Han Qing chose to keep quiet. Seeing her small body curled into a ball, he had no idea on what else to say in that moment and only sighed. “Lie back down and cover yourself in the blanket. After that, I’ll leave.”
Yan remained still until Han Qing tugged on her hand. She suddenly erupted and yelled loudly, “Stop entering my dream, will you? I asked you to leave! I didn’t ask you to show your concern to me! Stop being such a hypocrite here! During the day, didn’t you ignore me so effortlessly? Why are you putting on a facade here?”
Upon hearing that, Han Qing’s expression turned cold, making Yan nervous. Isn’t this my dream? Why does Han Qing feel so real? Is it possible that Han Qing couldn’t be controlled by me even in my dream? This is too powerful! At this point, Yan didn’t dare to say another word.
“I didn’t leave,” Han Qing narrowed his eyes as he replied coldly.
Yan froze. “Y-You didn’t leave? H-H-How is this possible? You… You are lying!” Her voice grew louder as she looked at him incredulously. “The staff at the shop told me that you left without a second look at me!” At that moment, she felt devastated because he wasn’t even willing to wait for her to go back with him. This illustrated that not only did he not like her, he even hated her. However, at this moment, he told her that he didn’t leave. How is this possible? If he didn’t leave, where did he go?
However, before Yan could ask him this question, Han Qing closed his eyes and pushed Yan back into the bed. He realized what he had told her after hearing her remarks. “You are tired. Rest well.”
Yan still wanted to struggle, but probably due to the fever, she also felt tired and her eyelids weighed as heavy as bags of cement. She fought against the urge to close her eyes while mumbling, “No. You tell me the truth now… Without telling me clearly, don’t think of leaving…” Yan grabbed onto his sleeves, still not willing to let him go. In the end, her voice became weaker and the strength that she had while holding onto his sleeves disappeared.
After Han Qing saw that she had fallen asleep, he heaved a sigh of relief and smoothened out his shirt that she crumpled before walking out of the room.
When Han Qing walked out, he ran into Han Muzi who was standing right outside. When their gaze met, Han Muzi looked curious and confused.
This look of hers… Han Qing suddenly couldn’t tell when she had arrived and how much she had seen or heard of everything that had happened in the room. However, he lacked the intention to explain anything to her. He merely pursed his lips and said, “Rest earlier. The doctor has left.”
“Okay.” Han Muzi nodded and looked at Yan, who was asleep, before glancing at Han Qing. “You—”
However, Han Qing’s gaze and expression were indifferent and he returned to his room calmly. The words that Han Muzi was about to say were held back. Forget it, it’s better not to say too much. As his sister, it was better not to pry into their matters. On top of that, she really couldn’t meddle into their relationship. Their fate was already destined. Whether Yan could be together with Han Qing or not wasn’t something that could easily be changed with Han Muzi’s words.
However, Han Muzi hadn’t known much about the events that had happened in the room. When she arrived, she only heard Yan asking Han Qing for the reason he left her alone. She then heard Han Qing saying that he didn’t abandon Yan.
After that, just like Yan, Han Muzi was confused. If Han Qing didn’t leave her alone, where did he go? Why didn’t he stop Yan from breaking down in the streets? Is it really like what he said just now—to let Yan realize that they are not suited for each other? It’s better not to drag it out? After pondering about this, Han Muzi felt even more troubled. In the end, she decided to leave this matter alone.
On the other hand, Little Bean, who had been sent to the Yuchi residence, saw Song An sitting on the couch in the living room not long after he entered. She wore a pair of sunglasses with her arms folded in front of her chest as she crossed her legs, looking fierce. Yuchi Jin sat not far away from her, but in comparison, his aura was not as strong as hers.
“Grandaunt Song!” As soon as Little Bean saw Song An, he addressed her.
Song An, who had such a fierce aura, changed into a completely different person as soon as she heard Little Bean. She took off her sunglasses and asked, “Little Bean?” Soon, she realized another problem. “Why are you here alone? Where’s your daddy and mommy?”
When Yuchi Jin saw Little Bean, his old heart started to thump furiously. However, when he saw that the first person Little Bean addressed was Song An and Little Bean acted as if he hadn’t seen Yuchi Jin, Yuchi Jin felt miserable like he was a deflated balloon.
