Yan Huan sat up abruptly and checked the time on her phone which was placed by her side. It was five in the morning. She did not know why she had an unpleasant dream. It was as if the dreams she had were trying to predict something.
But her dream this time was about the Lu family.
What happened to the Lu family, what happened this time?
She sat up and pulled her blanket onto her lap. She then stared at the time shown on the phone. She waited for time to pass while draining off her vitality which was already not much to begin with.
This is perhaps the last stop. She raised her head and looked at the ceiling above her. At that moment, she felt like she was trapped by the space she was in, it was like a cage and it caused her to feel oppressed and unable to breathe.
She tried to catch her breath but she felt like someone was choking her throat. She closed her eyes while trying to catch the air in front of her and let it fuse into her nose and her lungs. She then exhaled repeatedly as if her acts were numbing. She didn’t even know what she was doing.
A creaking sound could be heard as the door opened.
“Yan Huan, time to get up. We have to leave earlier today.”
The sentence broke all spells.
Yan Huan opened her eyes and took a deep breath. A huge amount of air entered her lungs. The thrill was moving to her.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Lin stepped forward and realized that Yan Huan did not look so good. She placed her hand on Yan Huan’s forehead and she felt a handful of cold sweat.
“Why are you so sweaty?”
“It’s nothing.” Yan Huan raised her fingers and brushed her hair. She did not say that her whole body was also covered with cold sweat.
“I had a nightmare.” Yes, a nightmare, a suffocating one.
Luo Lin lowered her head and made contact with her pair of clear eyes.
“Yan Huan, this is the first time I’ve ever heard that there are people would keep their eyes open while having a dream.”
Yan Huan squinted and replied, “The world is vast, nothing is impossible. It’s just that your humming noise is too loud.”
Luo Lin shrugged and treated Yan Huan’s comment as a compliment.
Yan Huan stood up and went to the bathroom. She turned the faucet and rinsed her face with cold water. The cold sensation made her shiver instantly, also waking her up completely.
However it was also quite cold.
Her clothes were attached to her body as if there was wind blowing from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head. The sensation was not pleasant at all, it was even irritating for her.
She took some cold water again and splashed it on to her face.
She looked in the mirror, she still had the same face. She had been seeing this youthful face of hers for her past two lives. The beauty of a woman is like a breath of fragrance or a blooming flower. Youth for some women will always be there like Ye Shuyun. There are also some women who lost their colours too much.
A woman’s youth is of no color but red. The ‘red’ does not really refer to the color red but nothing, nothing at all.
She closed her eyes and exhaled slowly. She could finally go back home after finishing the publicity event today. Home would always be the safest place for her, it’s the guiding light in her life.
But to be frank, she was homesick.
She lifted her spirits and gave herself a beautiful makeover. She picked up her good mood along the way, and spread her beautiful smile all over her face.
“You performed well today,” Luo Lin patted Yan Huan on her shoulder. “I was afraid that you would screw it up.” After all, Yan Huan was not in a good condition this morning. She was afraid that Yan Huan would bring that unpleasant feeling to her job and cause Luo Lin problems.
They could not afford to offend the fans nowadays. If something bad was spread out, they would have to use numerous smiles to make up for that one mistake.
Fortunately, Yan Huan’s performance was good. She still had affinity in her at the very least.
“Thank you,” said Yan Huan with undetectable fatigue hidden under her eyes. Her professionalism was good. At the very least, she would not push herself off the cliff, nor would she become a burden for others.
She went and bought some souvenirs before she returned. She would search for something in every place she went as it might not be a good idea to return home with empty hands.
She bought a beautiful set of jewelry with local characteristics for Ye Shuyun. Although it was not too expensive, it was exquisitely made. As for Lu Jin, she could not really find much for him as antiques were not that easy to find. Everything she could think of what was already given to him. Since she could not think of anything else, there was nothing she could do. If he really wanted something, she would get it from auctions for him.
Therefore, she got a newly-released mobile phone for Lu Jin as a gift. Its overall specifications were good and its appearance was also low-key.
Of course, she also bought a gift for Lu Yi. It was a notebook which was brought back from abroad by someone in her favour. It was said to be a military product which would be hard to be purchased from abroad. It would not be easy for ordinary people to get their hands on it.
The reason she was able to purchase it was because she became a spokesperson for a domestic brand. The person in charge of the endorsement also liked gadgets like these. Therefore, he actually helped her to make the purchase even though she just mentioned it once.
She happened to pass by his place and took it from him.
The notebook was silver in color. It claimed to be very lightweight even though she did not know how light it actually was. It was at least twice as light as the one which Lu Yi was using. Even though there was no logo on the notebook, its workmanship was very high-end. This was an unreleased version indeed. It was not something one could just buy with money. A connection was needed and these connections were not easily obtained by anyone.
She had been carrying these items around with her. As for the gifts for the others, she consigned it to them. She never forgot about the Ye and Lei family, especially Madam Lei and Sir Lei. She would never forget about them.
Although she knew that the Lei family would treat Yi Ling nicely, she was still afraid that others would mistreat her. Hence, she was never stingy in giving gifts to the Lei family. Perhaps she still could not stop worrying about Yi Ling subconsciously. After all, a family who married their daughter off would still be worried about whether she was living a good life or she was being mistreated.
However, she knew that she was overthinking.
The plane took off on time. A few hours later, both her and Luo Lin set their feet in the territory of Sea City. Many fans knew that Yan Huan would be back and they waited for her at the airport gate. Yan Huan wanted to return sneakily if she could. However, her new drama needed more exposure and she had to give it more chances for exposure.
