It was night, Qin Ran was lying on the bed, quietly looking at the ceiling and thinking about the possibilities.
‘Duo, Duo, Duo’
In the dead of night, there were several hesitant knocks on the door in the air.
In order to prevent Mo Li from climbing into her bed in the middle of the night, she now sleeps with the door locked.
"Master, are you asleep?" The person outside knocked a few times, but when there was no movement, he lowered his voice and asked.
"Mo Li, it's so late, what do you want from me?" His voice seemed a little strange, with a suppressed cry. Qin Ran knew that he could not ignore him, so he had to get up and open the door.
Under the dim light of the door, his eyes were red, as if he had been hurt in some way.
"I just had a nightmare." The young man raised his head slightly and looked at her, with a hint of fear in his shining clear eyes.
"It's just a dream. Don't think too much. Come in and drink a glass of water." He reached out and rubbed the top of his head with a comforting smile on his face.
"No, that dream was too real, as if it really happened. Master, can I sleep with you tonight?" The young man's eyes held a strong sadness that was irresistible, making it impossible to refuse.
"What were you dreaming about?" Qin Ran was stunned for a moment and poured him a glass of water, but did not immediately agree to his request.
"I...I dreamed...it was so scary..." The boy held the water glass and thought of the nightmare just now. His face became paler, the fear in his eyes deepened, and even his body couldn't help but tremble.
"That's just a dream, don't be afraid. Come on, tell me, what did you dream about?" Qin Ran stroked his hair and coaxed him with a voice so gentle that it could almost drip.
"I dreamed...I dreamed that the young master...was raped by bad guys..." Under her comfort, he was no longer so scared, but his voice still couldn't help but tremble.
"You couldn't have dreamed that I was killed by bad guys, right?" From his intermittent words, it was not difficult to imagine what he was dreaming about, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Master, this is not funny at all. I'm scared to death." The young man bit his lower lip, his clear eyes filled with anxiety.
"Okay, it's just a dream, it's not real. Don't be so nervous. Just relax. You can stay and sleep with me tonight."
"Is it really okay? Thank you, Master." The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
"You're welcome, it's getting late now, let's go to bed." She rubbed his hair and asked him to go to bed with a smile.
"I'm very happy to be able to sleep in the same bed as the young master." The young man lay on the bed, looking sideways at Qin Ran on the other side, so happy that his eyes almost rolled with laughter.
"Is this how you are happy?" She was amused by his words.
"The young master is the person I want to cherish the most. Being able to sleep in the same bed with the young master is a thing that makes me so happy that I will almost die."
"You are so easily satisfied."
"If the young master can be so gentle to me all his life, even if I die, I will be willing." The clear eyes reflect the beautiful longing.
"A lifetime is a very distant thing." His words were so sincere and his expression was so serious that she couldn't help but be moved.
"If one life is not enough, you need the next life, and the next life..." It would be great if his greed could be realized.
