Su Xiaofei was frantic when she woke up and realized that her husband was having a nightmare next to her. Lu Qingfeng had a deep frown on his face and was breathing erratically. She had tried to wake him up, but her husband wasn't responding to her, sending her straight into panic mode.
She had known that Lu Qingfeng had a hard time falling asleep as she had witnessed the same thing happen during her time as a ghost. At that time, she thought that she would be able to help him with these episodes, but she was proven wrong now. No matter what she did, Lu Qingfeng remained asleep and unresponsive towards her.
"You are definitely not alright. You scared me to death." She said as Lu Qingfeng held her close, hearing his heartbeat racing against his chest. Was he scared? She wondered.
He must be. From the way he was clinging to her and how unusually pale his face was, that nightmare must have scared him. But Su Xiaofei couldn't help but be curious. What kind of nightmare was it for her husband to act like this?
Lu Qingfeng said nothing and only rested his chin on top of her head. Su Xiaofei remained still and let him hold her as long as he wanted, if this would help him to calm down from his nightmare. Still, she hoped that he would at least tell her what was going on.
"I know I said that I would wait until you are ready, but if this happens again, I wouldn't know what to do." She looked up at him and felt his fingertips wiping the tears she hadn't noticed streaking earlier.
And now, he was being haunted by the memories of his previous life. How can she not be worried about him? She knew that if he managed to remember all of those memories from the past, it would only torment him more.
The one who should apologize was her, not him. She had been unfair to him from the very beginning, dismissing his feelings towards her just because he was younger in age. Heck, she even became a foolish teenager when she followed Mo Yuchen around like a headless chicken?
As for him becoming a tyrant... well, she wasn't as innocent as Lu Qingfeng thought her to be. She had been a foolish villainess in her previous life. Wouldn't that make him a tyrant for his villainess?
"If you are given a chance to change it, would you do it?"
Lu Qingfeng considered her question for a moment. Did he regret what he'd done after her death? Truthfully, no. He would do it all over again if they dare to plot on her life again. However, seeing his wife's worried expression, Lu Qingfeng decided not to share these thoughts with her.
"That Lu Qingfeng only became a monster because he lost his Feifei. I wouldn't be so foolish as to suffer the same fate as him." He responded.
'I cannot lose you again.' He added in his mind.
Su Xiaofei ran her hand over his muscled arm and smiled at him.
"Still, even if you become a monster, as long as your heart is mine, I would still be with you nevertheless. I must sound foolish for saying these, but I would still love you even if the world burns to the ground."
