In the café, Xia Ning accidentally fell asleep on the table while waiting.
She had a dream. In the dream, a pair of bloody hands reached out to her, and a young voice called out to her,”mommy, mommy.”
In the wilderness, the sky was dark. She chased after her voice, but no matter how fast she ran, it seemed that the distance between them was still so far.
“Mom, it hurts!” The baby’s cries seemed to be coming from all directions, and she couldn’t tell where they were coming from.
“Baby, where are you? mommy is here.” Xia Ning shouted loudly as she ran, searching for him.
However, he could only hear the child’s cries and couldn’t see where she was.
“I’m sorry. It’s mommy’s fault. Baby, can you come out and see mommy?” Xia Ning gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
“Mom, I hate you!” The girl’s shrill voice suddenly sounded.
Xia Ning’s body trembled and she was jolted awake. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
“What’s wrong?” A familiar male voice suddenly came from the other side.
Xia Ning’s body trembled. She lifted her head and met Qiao Yu’s concerned gaze. She snapped out of her daze and shook her head,”nothing?”
“You’re already covered in cold sweat and you still say it’s nothing!” Qiao Yu took out a tissue and was about to wipe Xia Ning’s sweat.
“Pa!” Qiao Yu’s hand was smacked to the side.
Xia Ning’s hand hung in the air. She realized what she was doing, so she clenched her fist and put it down. She looked up at Qiao Yu, a look of helplessness on her face.
She didn’t expect herself to suddenly be like this. She lowered her head and didn’t say anything. She wanted to apologize, but it was like a Fishbone was stuck in her throat.
Qiao Yu placed the tissue beside her hand and said in a low voice,””Are you feeling uncomfortable? why don’t I send you home?”
“No, I didn ‘t!” Xia Ning shook her head, but she still did not look up. She looked like a child who had done something wrong, a little helpless.
“You’re still denying it when your face is so pale. ” Qiao Yu frowned,”are you sick?” He wanted to reach out and touch her forehead, but when he thought of her resistance just now, he gave up.
“No, I just had a dream.” Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu.”I’ll be fine after a while.”
“What dream?” Qiao Yu asked. He knew that she had a dream, but what kind of dream made her face change so suddenly, just like the other nights.
Xia Ning shook her head.”It’s nothing. It was just a nightmare.”
“Yes.” Seeing that she was not willing to tell her, Qiao ran did not say anything.
Xia Ning looked at the time and realized it was already past 5 pm. She looked at Qiao Yu and said,””Isn’t it time to go to your restaurant?”
“Yes.” Qiao ran nodded.
Xia Ning picked up the bag beside her and looked at Qiao Yu,””Wait for me here, I’ll go change and put on makeup. It’ll be quick.
“Alright,” he said. Qiao Yu nodded again.
Xia Ning walked past him and went to the washroom.
Qiao Yu turned around to look at Xia Ning’s back. He could vaguely guess that she was hiding something from him. Of course, there was also the question of who she was meeting with today. He wanted to ask, but after seeing her expression, he suddenly couldn’t bring himself to ask.
His gaze suddenly fell on the phone she had left on the table. Perhaps he could see something from her phone.
At that moment, his phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Li Xiao.
