Yin Shaojie nodded. "Alright. I"ll ask the nurse what you can eat. Xiaomeng, stay here and take care, alright? Ye Sijue almost didn"t wake up last night. Though he"s alright, it was still scary. I don"t know what I"d tell his family if something happened to him.

Hearing that, Annie looked at Ye Sijue sympathetically. She nodded and said, "Yeah, I got it. I"ll take care of him."

"Then we"ll be going now." Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao and left.

The second the door closed, Ye Sijue couldn"t help but pull Annie into his arms.

However, the door suddenly opened again. Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao were standing at the door. Mu Xiaoxiao winked at them playfully and said, "Oh yeah. Annie, Ye Sijue probably hasn"t had any water since he woke up. Remember to give him some water to drink."

"Giving him some water to drink" sounded very suggestive.

Annie, who was always very innocent-minded, for some reason, immediately understood what she meant by that, and her little face grew hot.

"Alright. We"ll leave for real now. Take your time because we"ll be back late. I"ll remember to call before coming back. Bye bye!"

Mu Xiaoxiao waved at them and closed the door.

Ye Sijue frowned. He walked to the door and locked it.

Annie wanted to laugh after seeing him do that, but she felt too bashful.

Ye Sijue walked back over to her.

"I-I"m going to pour you a gla.s.s of water…" She remembered Mu Xiaoxiao"s words so she turned to find the canteen.

Though she was sincere when she confessed earlier, now that she had to be alone with him, it felt strange.

"Don"t go," Ye Sijue said in a deep voice.

The long arm stretched out and pulled her back before she could leave.

Then he hugged her tightly in his arms.

Annie was stunned. He held her right, as though he were going to knead her into his body.

Immediately, she felt strong emotions.

She didn"t move and stayed submissively in his arms.

Ye Sijue buried her face in her fair neck and breathed in her scent.

This was the only way that he could feel real.

"Am I really not dreaming? I"m dreaming, right?" Ye Sijue"s husky voice whispered in her ear. There was a slight uneasiness in his voice as if he were afraid of losing her again.

Perhaps he would suddenly wake up only to learn it was all a dream.

If that were the case, he would definitely fall apart.

How could this beautiful moment be a dream?

However, wasn"t it because it was too beautiful and blissful that it was more likely to be a dream?

And when he had to wake up from his dream, he would also have to watch her be engaged with another guy and become his bride.

He thought that all his toughness wouldn"t mean anything if he had to face that pain.

Ye Sijue closed his eyes and kissed the soft skin on her neck. In a magnetic voice, he asked again, "Tell me this isn"t a dream, okay?"

Hearing him ask again, Annie ached for him inside. She looked up from his arms, grabbed his hand, and placed it against her cheek.

"You aren"t dreaming, I"m real. Feel it."
