“Will that happen?” Liu Sisi paused in her work, taken aback.
A cold sweat was breaking out on her brow, why hadn’t she sensed this?
“Better if you don’t remember, the past you was pretty unlikeable,” Liu Zhi’er responded, then buried herself back in her paper cutting.
“That’s enough, stop now. It’s getting late, what if you overwork yourself and fall ill?”
Liu Sisi spoke, moving forward as if to take the scissors from her.
Liu Zhi’er hastily concealed them behind her back, a slightly ingratiating smile on her face, “Good Sisi, let me cut for a little while longer, I promise I’m going to bed soon, okay?”
That smile was too powerful! Liu Sisi’s outstretched hand froze in place.
“Alright then, but remember, just a little bit longer then bedtime.”
“Don’t worry, just a little longer. I’ll finish cutting this piece and then go to bed.”
Liu Sisi moved her mouth, but said no more, then left the room.
She scooped some barley, grabbed a handful of hay, and turned to go feed the horses.
Unbeknownst to her, light snow had started falling quietly outside. It must have been for quite some time, as a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.
The jujube red horse neighed at her approach. Liu Sisi gently patted it, feeding it two sugar cubes before turning to look at Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua. These two puppies were snuggled together for warmth, with Ah-Huang sleeping on the outside to block the wind and Ah-Hua inside, hidden behind most of Ah-Huang’s body. On noticing Liu Sisi looking at them, they just whimpered a little, wagged their tails, and went back to sleep.
Liu Sisi smiled; these two puppies shared a strong bond!
After stoking the fire to make it burn brighter, Liu Sisi returned to her bedroom.
The moment she entered her old room, a chilly aura struck her.
The room had no signs of life, more importantly, it lacked Di Yelei’s presence.
Taking off her clothes, she climbed into the cold bed, shivering under two quilts.
Without Di Yelei nearby, she was always uncomfortable. Without that person in her heart, the room felt unbearably cold.
Unable to resist, she got up and spread out another quilt, laying on one and covering herself with two. Hugging her knees, she forced her eyes shut, wondering how Di Yelei was faring now?
She tossed and turned all night, only managing to fall asleep as dawn was breaking.
But just as she dozed off, the recurring nightmare that hadn’t plagued her for a long time invaded her dreams once again.
Blood! So much blood, a shocking crimson, everything in sight was stained red!
The repeated dream once again played out, causing Liu Sisi to struggle in her sleep, trying to escape from the nightmare.
But the nightmare continued, Zuo Xingyu’s hideous face and the dagger held high, slashing fiercely…
“Ah!”
Liu Sisi jolted upright in bed, gasping for breath, covering her face.
The nightmare hadn’t visited her for many days. She thought she had forgotten about it, yet with Di Yelei’s absence today, it had returned!
She lay back down and grasped for the blanket, just then realizing that her entire body was soaked through, clearly she had been scared quite significantly.
What exactly was this dream about? Why did it cling to her so persistently?
