524 Marriage (1)

It was an extremely terrifying dream, as if all her struggles were useless. She knew that the ending was extremely tragic, but she could not stop it from happening. She could only watch helplessly as it unfolded.

She was a murderer.

The thunder struck across the sky. Shen Miao sat up on her bed and panted heavily.

She subconsciously grabbed something with her hand and felt someone gently patting her back. She leaned into his arms and grabbed her neck. She felt that her face was covered in sweat and she was about to suffocate.

Shen Miao’s body was trembling violently as she bit his shoulder. His body trembled, but he did not move. He only patted Shen Miao’s head comfortingly.

After an unknown period of time, the thunder gradually subsided, and only the sound of rain could be heard from outside the window. Shen Miao gradually calmed down. She let go of her mouth and touched something cold with the tip of her nose. It was a golden button.

She slowly sat up from that person’s arms.

The person stood up. A moment later, the candles in the room were lit. Someone held a candle and placed it on the table next to the bed. He walked to the bed and sat down. His eyes were deep and piercing, and he was as elegant and noble as ever. Who else could it be but Xie Jingxing? Under the light, his gaze was less playful than usual. It was more comforting and filled with concern.

Shen Miao’s heart tightened.

She was too engrossed in the terrifying nightmare that she was in a daze. That dream was not just a dream. It felt as if it had really happened. She was shocked by the terrifying truth and lost her composure for a moment. When she touched something warm, she was like a drowning person holding onto a life-saving straw and refused to let go. However, she forgot that in this late night, Xie Jingxing’s arrival was something worth being wary about.

The secret that she had locked up inside her heart seemed to have cracked at this moment, and she was facing the smartest hunter. Xie Jingxing had sharp eyes. He would probably be able to guess something from just a few words.

“What did you dream about?” Xie Jingxing cut off the extra wick in the oil lamp. His silhouette under the lamp was pleasing to the eye.

“It’s just a nightmare,” Shen Miao said with her eyes lowered. However, her voice was unnatural for a moment.

Xie Jingxing paused and turned to look at her. “You’ll be afraid too?”

Shen Miao was suddenly angry. She said, “I’m not Prince Rui. It’s hard for me to survive in the world, so I naturally have times when I’m afraid.”

Xie Jingxing looked at her. His eyes were very beautiful. Usually, he was sometimes frivolous and sometimes serious, making people unable to tell if he was sincere or not. However, now that he was looking at Shen Miao, his eyes were like the water in the autumn pool, like black jade, making it difficult for people to discern his emotions. He said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s just a dream.”

Shen Miao felt a lump in her throat, and an incomparable sadness suddenly surged up within her. She thought ever since her rebirth, she had controlled her emotions very well. Sometimes, she couldn’t hide her hatred and love, but after calming down, she would still be able to conceal it. However, tonight’s dream was so terrifying that she found herself unable to face it alone. Perhaps the rain outside was too cold, or perhaps Xie Jingxing’s gaze was too gentle, making her feel vulnerable. She really wanted to find a place to cry.
