In the past two or three years, Jian Ran's sleeping condition has been poor, and she would often be surprised by nightmares, so she slept late, hoping to sleep deeply as soon as she fell asleep.

But it was useless at all, as long as she closed her eyes, all kinds of horrible nightmares would haunt her.

Today she dreamed again, dreaming that many people in white coats were holding needles and injecting unknown liquid into her body.

She struggled, she resisted, but it was useless, as if there was an invisible net covering her, she could only let those people slaughter her.

"Jian Ran—"

In the darkness, a deep voice called her name, a very familiar but very distant male voice.

Following the sound of this voice, a black figure came towards her. The black figure was getting closer and closer, and she wanted to reach out to grab him. Just when she was about to grab the black figure, a man in a white coat The men forcibly dragged her away again and stabbed her with needles as thick as arms one by one.

Jian Ran struggled and shouted: "Don't, don't—"

Just when she was most helpless, the mobile phone beside her rang loudly, like a bell ringing in heaven, pulling her out of the nightmare.

Jian Ran was panting, she wiped off the fine sweat on her forehead in shock, and answered the call by touching her mobile phone: "Hello?"

Her voice was still trembling, uncontrollable.

She didn't see who was calling, but felt that the call was too timely and pulled her out of the nightmare.

"Jian Ran, I'm Qin Yue."

The other party's deep voice came from the receiver, with a reassuring quality.

...It's Qin Yue again.

Jian Ran vaguely remembered that when she had a nightmare a few days ago, it was Qin Yue who called in time to pull her out of the nightmare, as if he knew her situation all along.

Why on earth is he always there when she needs it?

She clearly knew that in the eyes of that man, she was just a substitute for his ex-wife... However, listening to his deep and cello-like voice, she couldn't help feeling relieved, as if there was light in the dark night, It is as if there is a warm embrace in the cold winter.

She took a deep breath and tried to speak to him in a calm tone. She didn't know why she didn't want the man to see her thoughts: "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"I just wanted to hear your voice suddenly, so I called you." The man said, the voice in the microphone was almost perfect, "I didn't bother you, did I?"

"No..." Jian Ran replied softly. It is more than two o'clock in the morning, the world is dark and quiet, and all sounds become very clear, such as the man's steady breathing on the other end of the phone.
Jian Ran suddenly wanted to laugh. In the middle of the night, he didn't sleep, so he just called her... Is it a coincidence, or did he really know that she was having a nightmare?

"Qin Yue," she couldn't help calling him.

"I'm here." The other party replied with a certain firmness.

Jian Ran sat on the bed, raised her head slightly, looked at the darkness, but couldn't help but curl her lips: "Are you spying on me, why do you always appear so timely?"

Her tone was brisk, three points charming, seven points mischievous.

But she didn't know, her words made Qin Yue's heart sink on the other side of the phone.

He was indeed monitoring her. A few days ago, he discovered that she had nightmares. Although he knew that calling in the middle of the night was very suspicious, he still couldn't help calling her.

Even if I can't hold you in my arms and drive away the darkness for you, I still hope that I can leave a sea of ​​thousands of people and give you a moment of peace.

But ah, I hope to return to you as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Qin Yue couldn't help curling the corners of his lips in the dark, with a little helplessness and obsession, he said softly: "Yes, I have been monitoring you from the past to the future. Miss Jian, I want to Want to catch me?"

want to catch me-

Now it's Jian Ran's turn to be stunned. The man's words are half true and half false. She doesn't know if it's real surveillance... or surveillance in other senses. And catch... No matter how it sounds, it is full of other meanings.

In the darkness, Jian Ran couldn't help but hugged the pillow in her arms tightly, bit her lips, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said: "Yes."

He gritted his teeth, full of anger.

However, Jian Ran knew very well that in the dark, her cheeks were as red as a rainbow.

The other party did not respond.

For some reason, Jane suddenly felt a little nervous, and couldn't help but bury her face in the soft pillow, her heart beating like thunder.

"good--"

After a long, long time, this simple syllable came from the other end of the phone.

Jane was startled.

"Wait for me." The other party said again, extremely firm.

Then, the phone was hung up.

Jian Ran felt relieved, and suddenly let go of the phone in her hand. Then he buried his face deeply into the pillow, and then, softly, said "En".

She waited for him, but the sound was lost in the pillow and disappeared in the darkness.

There is no Qin Yue's voice in my ears, that kind of loneliness seems to be wandering around Jian Ran again, as if as soon as she closes her eyes, it will swallow her up again.

Worried that she would be haunted by nightmares again if she fell asleep again, Jian Ran hugged the pillow, stared at the dark night sky with her eyes wide open, and tried not to let herself fall asleep.

She tried her best to recall the dream she had just had, but her mind was blank, as if that dream never existed.

I don't know how long it has passed, as if not long, as if it has been a long time, the mobile phone on the bed rings loudly again.

This time Jian Ran saw clearly, the word "Qin Yue" was displayed on the phone.

What's the matter with him?

With doubts, Jian Ran slid her fingertips and answered: "Mr. Qin?"

"Are you asleep?" The man's gentle voice reached her ears, she shook her head instinctively, and then heard him say, "I'm downstairs at your house."

Jian Ran was slightly startled, and immediately went down to the balcony, and looked around, and saw Qin Yue in a white shirt standing upright under the streetlights of the community.

He raised his head, raised the corners of his lips, and waved to her: "Miss Jane, would you like to come down and walk with me?"

In the middle of the night, going out with a man who is not too familiar is something that Jian Ran had never thought about before, but at this moment she did not hesitate: "Okay, wait for me for a while."

After hanging up the phone, Jane returned to the room, turned on the light, and walked to the closet, but for a moment she didn't know which clothes to wear.

She usually wears very casual casual clothes, and she has work clothes for work, and she doesn't have a skirt in her closet.

After picking and choosing, Jian Ran couldn't find any clothes she was satisfied with, so she had to wear a white shirt with jeans in the end.

She went out quietly, hoping not to be discovered by her father, but she didn't know that Jane Zhengtian had already seen her every move.
