"You should go back."
The voice saying this was very distant, and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. The person who said this was so stubborn that he kept repeating it over and over again, which struck Jiang Xuecheng's heart hard.
Jiang Xuecheng frowned. He hated the feeling of being controlled.
His lips trembled, his hands gradually clenched into fists, and he said "No!" with all his might.
In an instant, the surrounding darkness dissipated, and the evil blood-red moon in the sky also disappeared.
Instead, there was a vast expanse of white fog. Jiang Xuecheng walked forward cautiously, and suddenly found that he had become so small and was being pushed around by a group of doctors in white coats who looked like giants.
The air all around was cold and filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Jiang Xuecheng hated this smell, and hated the feeling of being so weak even more. Cold beads of sweat kept oozing out of his forehead, and he took small, thin steps and stumbled out the door...
The group of doctors in white coats seemed to see through his intention, gave him a warning look, and then slammed the door of the ward.
Could it be that the voice before saying "You should go back" means returning to his dark childhood
Go back to that life surrounded by the endless smell of disinfectant
Jiang Xuecheng hated himself the most during that period, because he was too young to resist and could only let those red and green tubes pierce his body.
Scarlet blood, cold walls, silent doctors...
They looked at him in silence, but their eyes were full of sympathy, as if they were whispering with their eyes - how pitiful, this child won't survive.
Jiang Xuecheng was breathing rapidly like a wolf, his temple throbbing. He cursed softly and vowed to escape from that pale and colorless life.
He tried his best to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt so heavy, as if something was forcibly suppressing him and preventing him from waking up...
I don’t know when, but I vaguely heard a familiar female voice, gentle, tolerant and caring.
She said, Xuecheng, wake up, you can't go anywhere, you can only stay here with me.
She said she was late...
Thinking about this name in his mind, a tiny spark of fire suddenly ignited deep in Jiang Xuecheng's heart. His mind moved, and he struggled with all his might to fight against this dream that devoured his heart.
Su Wan hugged Jiang Xuecheng and found that his body began to shake violently. Su Wan didn't know what to do and could only hug him tighter.
She called his name, waiting for him to wake up.
Perhaps because of the tragedy of losing her parents many years ago, Su Wan had also experienced similar nightmares, so she felt particularly distressed when she found that Jiang Xuecheng had a nightmare.
Another flash of lightning appeared in the sky, illuminating the darkness.
Su Wan was dazzled by the dazzling light. When she looked again, she found that the man in her arms was awake.
His brows were no longer furrowed, and his expression had returned to calm, but his eyes, which were as dark as the night, were surprisingly bright. His dark pupils were fixed on Su Wan, like some kind of wild beast about to attack.
At this moment, Su Wan discovered that Jiang Xuecheng looked a little strange, but the fact that he had woken up from a nightmare instantly relaxed Su Wan's originally tense heart.
She rested her head on the other person's shoulder in ecstasy and burst into laughter.
"You finally woke up. You made me worry for so long."
Jiang Xuecheng slowly turned his head to look at Su Wan's cheek, and seeing the soft concern flowing in her eyes, he slowly calmed down. The hostility that was as sharp as a knife was gone, and only deep affection remained in his dark eyes.
"Sorry, I won't do that again."
His voice sounded in her ears, gentle as water.
It was the first time that Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng's tender and apologetic tone. As a voice control freak, her cheeks flushed slightly and she quickly used jokes to cover up her discomfort.
"It's good that you know. You are a grown man, but you actually had a nightmare when you heard thunder. If your followers knew that the famous emperor in Kyushu Country was like this, they would definitely be heartbroken."
Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly. In fact, he had never had nightmares because of thunderstorms before. Although he knew Su Wan was joking, he still looked up at the heavy rain outside the window, secretly puzzled.
Normally speaking, it is rare to have thunder in April in S City, and the weather forecast has never said that it will rain today. The weather tonight is really abnormal.
Jiang Xuecheng turned his gaze back to Su Wan and brushed the hair on her cheek: "What do other people's thoughts have to do with me."
Su Wan chuckled. After spending a long time with Jiang Xuecheng, she understood more and more that such arrogant words were his style.
She stopped joking and said seriously, "Today there were strong gusts of wind and the windows in our bathroom were all broken. Should we hire someone to fix it tomorrow?"
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan, and his deep, magnetic voice, carrying a masculine warm breath, blew on Su Wan's face.
"These are all trivial matters. I will take care of them. You should get yourself ready tomorrow morning and I will pick out a dress for you."
Su Wan was slightly stunned when she heard this: "You want to take me out?"
"Tomorrow is the bidding meeting in S City. You won't forget it, right?"
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng stretched out his hand and entangled a strand of Su Wan's hair with his slender fingertips, with a smile on his lips.
Su Wan's beautiful face flashed with surprise - what does a serious occasion like a bidding meeting have to do with choosing a dress...
"You really are..."
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head with a smile, and his deep eyes fell on Su Wan: "You don't know that the S City authorities said that all the money from the Beitong bidding case will be used for charity, right?"
After listening to Jiang Xuecheng's explanation, Su Wan suddenly realized.
Before the bidding officially begins, a charity dinner will be held at the International Convention and Exhibition Center in City S, but Su Wan never thought about attending this dinner.
She has never liked the high-end social circles with elegant clothes, handsome men and beautiful women, even if they are in the name of charity dinners, which are full of decadent and flashy atmosphere.
Su Wan's face flashed with a little embarrassment: "Can I not go?"
It was the first time that Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan being stage-frightened. He stretched out his hand and stroked the tip of Su Wan's nose. His voice was light but powerful, and he did not allow anyone to refuse.
"You are the female companion I personally selected to accompany me. Is it okay if you don't show up?"
Su Wan frowned slightly, and suddenly felt overwhelmed - she was Jiang Xuecheng's legal wife after all, and this time she had to accompany her husband to the event under the guise of work and in the name of a subordinate. She was really drunk.
Thinking that Jiang Xuecheng was still a single wealthy man in the eyes of the world, and that he never brought a female companion to such occasions, Su Wan felt a chill in her heart.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you."
Su Wan turned off the wall lamp with a headache, pulled up the quilt and prepared to go to sleep, but was suddenly embraced by Jiang Xuecheng.
