40 Go Sleep on the Bed (1/2)

”What dream did you have?”

Xia Qingyi wiped her face with her hand. She tried her best to recall her dream, only to realize that she could barely remember anything. She did not even know why she had cried.

”I... don't know... I can only remember... my hand clutching a knife. It was really dark around... and I kept walking forward... I... I don't know why I cried. I really don't know...”Xia Qingyi only knew that her mind was very confused. The memories of her dream were blurry and fuzzy. She did not know where she was. A strong sense of helplessness wrapped around her heart as she felt the tears streaming down her face after she woke up.

”I'll get you a glass of water,” Mo Han said as he glanced at her tired face.

When Mo Han was back, he noticed that Xia Qingyi had remained in the same position as when she had awoken from her dream. She was hunched on the floor, with her head resting on her knees. She was thinking of something, her expression lifeless, though Mo Han did not know what it was that she was thinking.

”Stop thinking about it. It's just a nightmare.” Mo Han walked over and handed the glass of water to her.

”Do you think that... I... killed someone?” Xia Qingyi suddenly asked. Her thoughts were still questioning the 'her' in her dream.

Mo Han froze and turned to smile at her. ”What are you thinking about? There's no rationale for the things that you're saying. Hurry up and drink your water. After you're done drinking, wash your face and go back to sleep.”

”I... really didn't kill anyone?” Xia Qingyi blinked and looked up at Mo Han seriously.

Mo Han took in Xia Qingyi's appearance. Her eyes were red from all the crying. She had tears covering her face and messy hair. He replied, ”No, you didn't. Trust me. Don't make too many assumptions because of a dream that had no basis of the truth. Now, hurry and wash your face. Then, go back to sleep.”

To a certain extent, a dream is a psychological reflection of real life. Many strange and unusual dreams can be explained by real-life incidents. What about her dreams? What did the dreams she had had when she had been comatose for a month in the hospital mean? Also, why had she cried in her dream tonight?

Could it be that her injuries were related to the knife in her dream?
