The overwhelming helplessness and fear in the dream seemed to have returned. Song Yunpan only felt a splitting headache and his body was shaking uncontrollably...

"Let go!" She suddenly started struggling hysterically, "Hurry up and let me go!"

Yingcao was stunned by what she saw in front of her. When she realized what she was seeing, she rushed between the two of them and said in a hurry, "Master Shen Biao, what are you doing?! Let my girl go quickly!" She was helping them look out. It's one thing, but if something really happened and ruined their girl's reputation... she would be doomed!

Shen Wanzhang also knew that he was being abrupt today, but the reality could not help him retreat.

In the past, when Song Yunpan didn't talk about getting married, he could still deceive himself: his sympathy and concern for her was just sympathy for her being lonely and dependent on others since she was a child. It was a brother-sister relationship... Later, he slowly understood his feelings. He felt that it was not the time to express his feelings: he had not yet succeeded in his career, Song Yunpan was still young, and his mother had placed high hopes on him since he was a child. If he told her now that he liked a cousin of the Song family, , I'm afraid that not only will her mother fail to fulfill her wish, but she will also do something that will embarrass Song Yunpan... It would be better to wait until next year, once he is named on the gold medal list, he can openly ask his mother to marry her.

But now, he has no time to look forward and backward...

Shen Wanzhang was thinking wildly when he felt a sudden pain on his arm - it was Song Yunpan who couldn't get away and bit him hard!

Shen Wanzhang snorted and quickly let go of his hand, only to see Song Yunpan's little face was frighteningly white and full of tears. He quickly explained incoherently, "Cousin Pan, don't be afraid, I I have no ill intentions towards you... and I don't mean to offend you. The matter is really urgent, so I can only do this..." He gritted his teeth and said, "Hopefully, in fact, I have been——"

While they were talking, someone suddenly laughed warmly and said, "Cousin Shen, why did you come here?"

Shen Wanzhang was startled and looked up to see Su Heng coming from the corridor.

Yingcao quickly pulled Song Yunpan aside.

"Wen Yuan was still looking for you everywhere just now. My cousin escaped quickly..." Su Heng came closer and her voice couldn't help but pause. It seemed that only then did she see Song Yunpan, who was leaning exhaustedly in Primrose's arms. His eyes darkened almost undetectably, and he smiled lightly, "So I hope my cousin is here too."

Seeing that Song Yunpan was so frightened that he was stunned, Shen Wanzhang stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I had a few too many drinks, so I walked around in the garden and happened to meet my cousin..."

"So that's it." Su Heng nodded, "Cousin, you'd better go back quickly, otherwise they might come looking for you later."

Shen Wanzhang hesitantly looked at Song Yunpan, whose eyes were dull, and whispered, "Cousin——"

Su Heng looked at him with deep eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "If my cousin doesn't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late."

His tone was the same as usual, but Shen Wanzhang inexplicably heard a hint of threat in it. Even the courage that had been strengthened by wine seemed to be pierced by someone with a needle, and he just looked at Su Heng randomly. He bowed his hand and ran away.

It wasn't until Shen Wanzhang's figure disappeared that Yingcao let out a long breath and said, "Second Master..."

Su Heng glanced at her coldly, walked up to Song Yunpan, and whispered, "Cousin, are you okay?"

Song Yunpan raised his face and looked at him blankly.

She doesn't understand why...

She has obviously been very careful to stay away from these people, why do they still refuse to let her go...

Could it be that, as Su Lin said in the dream, in their eyes, she is just a frivolous and dissolute woman who can be raped by others? Does even the second cousin... think of her in the same way?

That's why he treated himself like that in the dream - so contemptuous, so disgusting... It seemed that in his heart, she was not his wife at all, but his shame... That's why he allowed her to be raped by others. Bullying and humiliation, and even jumping to death in the end...

Song Yunpan's lips trembled a few times, and she said tremblingly, "I'm fine..." But tears poured out like a flood that had burst a dam.

Su Heng looked at the corners of his eyes that were reddened by her rubbing. It felt like there was a stone in his chest, weighing him down and making him unable to breathe.

After all, he arrived a step too late.

He obviously dreamed about it yesterday - Song Yunpan was tricked by someone and mistakenly entered the clean room near the young masters' drinking hall, but was entangled by Shen Wanzhang, who had been guarding here for a long time...

It is true that since he experienced weird dreams again and again, his feelings for Song Yunpan have been a bit complicated - he can no longer treat her as an ordinary cousin living in his home like other sisters. I don't want to pay too much attention to her and make her have any thoughts about me that she shouldn't have.

He always felt that they should have a different life than in their dreams - even if it was not just a dream.

He had seen enough of her compromises and cowardice. What he ideally wanted was a wife who could share the same love with him and play the piano in harmony, not a poor bastard who was always trying to please him and the whole family.

But even so, when he saw her eyes full of tears, when he saw that she was obviously wronged and sad, but she still pretended to be calm in front of him, his heart still couldn't help but hurt.

The pain seemed to travel with the blood through his limbs and bones, and along with the pain was an indescribable loss: it seemed that something very important was disappearing from his life little by little -

He didn't even want to admit that this feeling was not just today or at this moment. In fact, he had just paid his birthday to Mrs. Lu. Lu Yu's eyes were full of Song Yunpan's figure, and she returned the same gaze as Lu Yu. At that time; as early as that day at Akihito Temple, when she smiled sweetly at the unfamiliar Lu Yuqiao, without facing her own embarrassment and caution at all, he knew...the trajectory of the two of them had gone further and further away from that in the dream.

But he damn hates this drifting away!

Song Yunpan finally calmed down from the panic just now... She took a deep breath, wiped the tears on her face with all her strength, and blessed Su Heng indiscriminately. There was a bit of alienation in her crying voice. "I just thanked my second cousin for rescuing me..."

Thinking of everything that happened next in the dream, Su Heng clenched his hands in his sleeves and said warmly, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for my cousin to be seen like this, but -"

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps mixed with voices not far away, "You idiot, you can't even do such a small thing! If Sister Song makes any mistakes, you are the only one I can ask!"
