1217 I Want to Make You Stay 95 (1/2)
An Xiaoning nodded and answered, ”Yes, I dreamed of myself too. It's a bad sign.”
If she were someone else, Jin Qingyan would have just told her that it was merely a bad dream. However, he knew that her dreams were rarely false alarms.
”What did you dream of?”
”I dreamed that I was sprinting continuously to nowhere, and I bumped into you later on. My head was bleeding, and you even smiled at me,” said An Xiaoning, appearing ill at ease.
Jin Qingyan's temples began to throb and he asked, ”Really?”
”Absolutely. You didn't say a word at all. I couldn't tell if it was you or Henry, but I was calling your name in the dream,” said An Xiaoning.
”It might either be me or Henry. You might have called my name because you didn't know that I had become Henry. Or perhaps you did but you were just too used to calling me by my name. Or maybe we're just the same person. Henry is just a small part of me.”
An Xiaoning tried her best to calm herself down.
After doing so for a long while, she finally felt much more at ease.

”My dear, continue to work hard and brave through all odds. I'm looking forward to seeing a brand new Bao'er.”
He even added a cute smiley face at the bottom of the message.
An Xiaoning chuckled and stowed the piece of paper away into her bag. She then opened the door after washing up to let the fresh morning air in.
However, it was a little too humid.
No. 8 walked toward her and greeted, ”Sis, Good morning.”
”How did Bao'er behave last night?”
”She was too tired and dozed off while sitting on the pillar. She then fell off and landed on the ground. She was so frightened that she could not stop yelling. I then picked her up and placed her onto the pillar again. She's been awake ever since. She kept asking to see you, but I turned her down,” said No. 8.
”Well done. Take a nap in your room after breakfast.”
”Okay.”
One hour later, the clock struck half past seven.
Shi Bao'er was brought to An Xiaoning. She frantically greeted, ”Auntie…”
