C169 Nightmare (1/2)
Shi Xingcan had a very long dream.
In the dream, she kept running, with a man and a woman and a child chasing after her. The child disappeared, and the man also disappeared, leaving only the malevolent, venomous woman chasing after her.
Then, the scene changed. She knelt in front of the man in the dream, begging with a sorrowful expression, ”Please, please treat my mother.”
The man's voice was full of calculation, filled with greed: ”If you marry Qu Zhong, I'll treat your mother's illness.”
Finally, she stood alone in the middle of the church in her white wedding dress, with no one around her.
Not far away, she saw the beautiful woman who was pushing her down the river. Her shrill voice was filled with pride and satisfaction, ”I am already pregnant with Qu Zhong's child, scram!”
Beside the woman was the man she had met a few days ago. His face was filled with impatience and loathing as he said, ”Marrying a woman like you is really too unlucky.”
When he woke up, Qin Yanmo was already leaning against the bed. One of his arms was under her head and the other was tightly wrapped around her delicate waist.
His deep voice sounded in the dark room, ”Have you had a nightmare?”
Shi Xingcan touched her forehead in a daze, sweating all over.
The morning sun was blocked outside by the thick curtains of light. Shi Xingcan grabbed the hem of Qin Yanmo's pajamas and asked, ”What time is it now?”
”9: 30 PM. It's time to wake up.”
Shi Xingcan turned her body over, and used the back of her ice-cold hand to cool her burning cheeks. ”Go down and eat first, I still want to take a bath.”
His entire body was covered in sticky sweat. If he didn't wash it off, he would definitely catch a cold.
Qin Yanmo got down from the bed, walked to the window side and opened the heavy dark blue curtain with a ”Hua La” sound.
The morning sun shone brightly through the French windows, covering the entire room, and casting a few shadows on the white walls through the trees.
Golden granules flowed in the air, and the figure of a man covered in golden light.
Shi Xingcan was dumbstruck as she watched.
The man turned his head, raised his thick eyebrows, and squinted his eyes. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Under the rays of the sun, even the cold and hard outline appeared a bit gentler.
”What are you looking at?”
Shi Xingcan regained her senses, coughed lightly in embarrassment and said: ”Nothing, I'm just looking.”
Then he left like a wisp of smoke.
Qin Yanmo laughed as he watched her run away. After changing her clothes, he pushed open the bathroom door, where Shi Xingcan was soaking in the bathtub, the light shining through the curtain revealed her beautiful figure.
Thinking about how he was interrupted last night, Qin Yanmo's eyes darkened.
After washing up, he sat on the sofa and waited for Shi Xingcan.
When Shi Xingcan came out of the bathroom wiping her hair, she met Qin Yanmo's beautiful eyes. Her face was slightly flushed.
”Why haven't you eaten breakfast yet?”
”How am I supposed to eat if you don't come out?” Qin Yanmo teased.
The corner of Shi Xingcan's mouth raised uncontrollably, and a hint of joy appeared in the depths of her eyes, causing Qin Yanmo's breathing to become sluggish.
Shi Xingcan lowered her eyes and summoned the courage to hold his hand. When he reached his hand, it was his warm palm that was covered with a thin cocoon.
The corner of Qin Yanmo's mouth curled up, and when he looked down, he could see the small piece of skin at the back of her neck that was as white and tender as cream.
If anyone dared to interrupt him tonight, he would chop that person into pieces and throw him into the sea.
Only then did the late Shi Xingcan remember to ask him: ”Don't you have to work today?”
The corner of Qin Yanmo's mouth hooked up as he lovingly poked her on the forehead: ”Today is Saturday.”
Shi Xingcan laughed tenderly, and stuffed a Holy Maiden Fruit into his mouth, she asked: ”When are we going to fetch mother and two children?”
”I've already agreed to let her stay in Mr. Dean's house for a few days,” Qin Yanmo smirked, ”Nian Wang's sickness is still not completely cured, it would be bad if the two children were to recklessly run into him.”
She knew that Qin Yanmo was afraid that something might happen to the two children here, but at the same time, he could not speak too frankly. At the very least, he had to stabilize the hearts of the family members.
When the atmosphere was right in front of them, the phone that Qin Yanmo had placed on the table started to scream at the top of its lungs.
The two of them looked at each other, and Qin Yanmo reacted first, pressing the answer button: Hello?
The voice on the other side was polite and distant, ”Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Qin Yanmo?”
”I am a staff member of the People's Hospital. Mr. Jiang Jiafeng had a car accident at the intersection of Zhongshan Road.
”He was in a car accident!?” Qin Yanmo immediately stood up and gestured to Shi Xingcan for her to hurry up and get ready, ”Alright, I'll go over now.”
Shi Xingcan, who had reacted in a hurry, took the overcoat from the servant's hands and asked somewhat anxiously: ”Who was in the car accident? Jiang Jiafeng? ”
”En,” Qin Yanmo didn't even finish the sandwich in his hand as he pulled Shi Xingcan out of the door hastily, ”The doctor told me to sign the surgical form right now.”
Feeling the fear in his heart, Shi Xingcan held his hand tightly and comforted him: ”Don't worry, it might just be a small car accident.
Qin Yanmo frowned, his eyes filled with worry: ”Let's talk about it when we're there.”
On the way to the hospital, Qin Yanmo called Jiang Jiafeng's family members. His family had been studying medicine for generations, and had opened a pharmacy from the time of Great Grandfather's generation.
When Jiang Jiafeng's grandfather heard about his grandson's car accident, he exploded. He raised his voice and asked: ”Which hospital is he in!?”
”People's Hospital.”
