“After that?” Ling Sheng was so scared that she woke up completely. She held her breath nervously. “What else did he say?”
“No… Nothing else,” Song Yiyan’s voice was a little weak. She hesitated for a while before stammering, “I panicked and woke up.”
“Why couldn’t you wait a little longer?” Ling Sheng was exasperated at her blunder. She took a look at Nangong Lengyu, who was sleeping beside her, and got out of bed quietly with her phone.
Oh well, now that she had gotten the next clue, she didn’t know how much longer she would have to wait again.
When she reached the living room, she finally dared to speak. She frowned, but her voice was still very low. “You said that you haven’t dreamed of him again recently in a few days?”
“Yes, I don’t know why either. I dreamed of him every two days last time. This time, it’s been three days.” Song Yiyan was still afraid of being reprimanded. In a small voice, she explained, “I’ve been thinking about what you told me. I asked him about this.”
Ling Sheng knew that one could not force things like dreams. No one could control their own dreams. What one thought about in the day was reflected in one’s thoughts at night. Little Bunny must have been thinking about this all along too, which was why she had asked about it in the dream. Her voice became much gentler. “I understand. It’s been hard on you. I’ll treat you to a meal when I get back.”
Little Bunny had said that the interval between which she was dreaming of her dream lover was becoming longer and longer. She was very worried. Would she not be able to dream of him completely after some time?
“Erm… Ling Sheng.” Song Yiyan paused before mustering her courage to ask, “Is Auntie Yu your mother?”
Ling Sheng stole a look in the direction of the bedroom and nodded. “Yes.”
Song Yiyan smiled sneakily. “Then… Then, you’ll have to call me Elder Sister.”
Ling Sheng had been curious about what Little Bunny would say, but she had not expected her to say that. Little Bunny was indeed a year older than her, but her idiotic IQ… Did she really have to call her Elder Sister?! She did not say anything.
Song Yiyan even urged her, saying seriously and insistently, “Ling Sheng, you have to call her Sister.”
Ling Sheng said, “I’m about to freeze to death. I’m hanging up now. Let me know if anything happens on your end. You’re disturbing my sleep in the middle of the night.”
Song Yiyan sniffled and said pitifully, “I’m afraid I’ll forget when I wake up the next day. You said to tell you immediately.”
Ling Sheng laughed. “I understand, Little Elder Sister. Thank you for being so concerned.”
After hanging up, the more Ling Sheng thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. Little Bunny had said that she had changed the plot. Did that mean that after she changed the storyline in the book, problems would arise in the world in the book?
If they really changed the direction of the plot in the book, exactly what problem would occur? Would the world disappear?
The little white rabbit’s dream man had even said ‘you people’. The main point was ‘you people’. This meant that he definitely knew something. Did this ‘you people’ refer to the Third Master, her, and Song Yiyan?
What in the world was going on? Couldn’t he give her a little more clues? Was it easy for her?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Ling Sheng could only make a call to get Jun Shiyan to come out. Anyway, she had already decided to tell him everything. Based on analysis of the clues she already knew, the Third Master must also be an important part of this.
Then, what was their relationship with Song Yiyan, that little white bunny?
When Jun Shiyan came out, he saw the young lady walking around the living room alone. He hurriedly turned around to get a coat and brisk-walked over to put it on her. In a low, hoarse, sexy voice, he asked, “Why did you come out without wearing clothes?”
Ling Sheng was deep in thought when she heard his voice. She looked up at him with a serious and slightly silly expression, “I did.”
Jun Shiyan sighed helplessly, his eyes full of affection. His big hand wrapped around her small hand as he said gently, “I’m talking about the outer coat.”
“I came out in a hurry. Let’s go outside. I have something very important to tell you.” Ling Sheng really could not hold it in anymore. Only by telling the Third Master could she make use of his capabilities and power to investigate further.
The courtyard was very quiet, and only the sound of the winter wind could be heard. It was a rare clear day, so one could see the bright stars as soon as one looked up in the sky.
When Ling Sheng reached outside, she shivered from the cold again. When she turned her head around, she saw that the man was even wearing thin silk pajamas. She felt cold just looking at him. “Why didn’t you change your clothes?”
Jun Shiyan said, “No.”
Upon seeing the liar’s expression, Ling Sheng turned around and ran into the house. Soon, she brought a thin blanket over and put it on him. She muttered to herself, “This pajamas of yours won’t do. It’s chilly. Who wears pajamas like this in winter? You should wear something like mine.”
“I’ll buy it tomorrow,” Jun Shiyan said in a low voice. He looked at the young lady’s pajamas. It was a one-piece teddy bear pajamas. It was pink and tender, and it even had two small ears, making her look even cuter.
Xiaoqi had one too. The one Xiaoqi wore was a crocodile. It was a big crocodile, and the material felt very comfortable and warm.
“I bought it online. I’ll buy it for you when we get back.” Ling Sheng pulled him to sit on the stone steps at the entrance. She could not forget about proper business. She looked at the man in front of her seriously. “Third Master, I have something to tell you. You mustn’t be scared when you hear it.”
Upon seeing the serious expression on the young lady’s face, Jun Shiyan nodded. Exactly what was it? That could even scare him?
Ling Sheng was about to tell him about her origin in one breath; the fact that they were living in a book, and what Song Yiyan had told her.
Suddenly, a painful scream traveled out from the house.
Ling Sheng turned to look at Jun Shiyan, stood up, and ran. If she had not heard wrong, the voice had come from her father!
Jun Shiyan frowned and chased after her closely.
“I said I walked to the wrong place!” Huo Ci had just crawled up from the ground when his handsome face contorted in bursts of pain. He supported his waist and looked at the woman on the bed angrily.
Nangong Lengyu’s cold, beautiful face flushed red as she smiled coldly at him. “Walked to the wrong place? Huo Ci, are you dim-sighted from old age?”
He had really aged. He could spout any shameless excuse.
“Nangong Lengyu, do you think I want to climb into your bed with your current appearance?” Huo Ci let out a cold snort. His words were not the slightest bit polite as he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Everything he had said was true. He had just walked to the wrong place when he came back from the washroom. Did he have to lie?
“You can walk to the wrong bed but can you hug the wrong person?” Nangong Lengyu’s chest heaved violently from anger. When she thought of how he had hugged her immediately the moment he climbed onto the bed, she wished she could kick him again.
“Don’t you close the door when you sleep at night?” Huo Ci did not know what was wrong with him either. Besides the pain in his chest from being kicked, there was more heat, indescribable heat.
The moment he climbed up and sensed a familiar fragrance, his body reacted abnormally quickly. His blood blazed like a fire. He had hugged her instinctively.
