But how could she dream that Chu Shixiu... was dead?
How could Chu Shixiu die... The voice in the dream was not very similar to Chu Shixiu's, it was too hoarse and deep...
Inexplicable dream.
It seems very real, but it also seems...very unreal. What is going on?
Gu Xiaoai bit her lip, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Her legs were weak and she couldn't even stand steady.
"Well……"
Gu Xiaoai gritted her teeth and walked to the door. Was she really too tired? Why was she so tired?
Gu Xiaoai opened the door. Two bodyguards were standing guard at the door. The people in the Li family manor were all members of Li Juefeng, both inside and outside.
Seeing her come out, the two bodyguards bowed respectfully, "Miss Gu."
"Have someone entered my room just now?" Gu Xiaoai asked.
"No." The bodyguard replied, "We have been guarding outside, Miss Gu. If someone breaks in with malicious intent, I will notify Wu Tou immediately."
"No, no, no."
Gu Xiaoai forced a smile and reached out to close the door.
When my fingertips touched my face, it was still cold.
Maybe it's just a nightmare, a more real nightmare.
Gu Xiaoai told herself this, and took a step forward. Suddenly her foot stumbled, and Gu Xiaoai fell down. Bone-piercing pain immediately came from her ankle...
it hurts.
Gu Xiaoai frowned, stood up from the ground with difficulty, limped to the bed, took out her mobile phone and called Li Juefeng.
For a long time, Gu Xiaoai only heard the ringtone.
Has he already fallen asleep?
Gu Xiaoai pursed her lips and was about to hang up the phone when Li Juefeng's deep and magnetic voice came through the phone, "Gu Xiaoai?"
"Yeah." Gu Xiaoai held the phone in one hand and rubbed her ankle with the other, saying in a weak voice, "Li Juefeng, I have a nightmare."
"..." There was a moment of silence from the other side.
"Li Juefeng, I even sprained my foot." Gu Xiaoai continued, her voice sounding particularly fragile in the quiet night.
"..."
"Li Juefeng, I..."
Before he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
Gu Xiaoai looked at her phone in confusion, feeling indescribably disappointed. She hadn't even finished speaking.
Li Juefeng, I want to see you.
…
Is he soundly asleep?
Forget it, I can't act coquettishly, so I can only rely on myself to have enough food and clothing.
Gu Xiaoai got out of bed, limped out of the medical kit, and jumped back to the bed with all her strength.
Opening the medical kit, Gu Xiaoai took out a bottle of medicinal wine, dipped a cotton swab in it and wiped it on her ankle, then rubbed the sore spot with her hands...
It seems to be swollen.
Gu Xiaoai rubbed her ankle reluctantly, and inadvertently raised her eyes to look at the moonlight outside the balcony door, and couldn't help but think of that dream again.
Ai Ai.
It’s been a while since I heard someone call her that...
After Chu Shixiu left four years ago, where did he go? There was no news at all.
How could she dream that he was dead? It was so ridiculous.
Gu Xiaoai leaned on the bedside and flashed many fragments in her mind, about the past four years ago, about the entanglement between the Chu and Gu families, about... the last night on the yacht at sea.
She never deliberately remembers it, but in fact those fragments are still in her memory.
The Chu family's destruction, Chu Shixiu's departure...including her innocence that night...are very clear and yet very blurry.
"Bang--"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Gu Xiaoai looked at the door in shock, and saw Li Juefeng appearing in her bedroom covered in dust, with a cold and handsome face, frowning, staring at her, and blurted out, "What happened?"
