“But, I believe that you're still alive . You'll be back, right?” Huo Mian's voice became a low whisper as she continued . At that moment, she felt like a hopeless child . Without realizing, she closed her eyes .
A world full of red maple trees appeared in front of her eyes, it was autumn at Yun Ding Mountain . The beauty of it was unspeakable, and it was as if it was the brightest and most colorful stroke from an artist .
Huo Mian looked up and noticed the man standing on the stairs . He was wearing a white top and black pants, and of course, his signature smile .
“Honey…”
“What are you waiting for? Give me your hand, I will guide you . ” She watched Qin Chu reach his hand out to her, closing the distance between them .
She reached for his hand, but for some reason, failed to grasp his palm no matter how hard she tried .
“Mian, give me your hand,” he repeated .
Huo Mian tried and tried, no matter what she did, she was always slightly out of reach . It was as if some outside force was preventing her from reaching him .
“Honey, can you come closer? I can't reach you . ”
Qin Chu followed the stairs and slowly walked down .
As he came closer, a trickle of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth . As he continued down the steps, blood began pouring down his lips .
Huo Mian screamed as she ran up the stairs, only to realize she was unable to touch him .
She could only watch Qin Chu grasp his chest as he fell, tumbling down the stairs .
“Qin Chu!” she screeched out loud and woke up from the dream .
Upon hearing the miserable cry, the nurse ran in, “Ms . Huo, are you okay?”
“I'm… I'm fine,” Huo Mian's voice trembled . A tear trickled down the corner of her eye as she downcast her gaze .
“Did you have a bad dream?”
“Yes . ”
“Why don't I get you a cup of warm water . ”
“It's okay . You can go . ”
The nurse comforted Huo Mian for a while and left upon seeing that she seemed fine .
At home, Su Yu tossed and turned in his bed .
He was losing sleep because he was starting to worry about Huo Mian's state of being .
Jiang Xiaowei said Huo Mian simply hid away her saddest emotions . It wasn't because she didn't feel sadness; rather, she wanted to take on the sadness herself .
The more Su Yu thought about it, the more his heart ached . He pressed his palm against his chest, hoping it would alleviate the pain .
Suddenly, his cell phone rang .
He took the call immediately as the caller ID showed the number of the Military Hospital .
“Young Master Su, perhaps you should come for a quick visit . ”
“What's wrong?”
“Ms . Huo's emotional state is a little unstable . She had a bad dream and woke up screaming and crying . ”
“I'll be right there . ” Su Yu got up immediately to change upon hearing what the nurse had said . He then drove straight to the Military Hospital .
When he knocked gently on the door, Huo Mian's room was dimly lit up by the lamp on the nightstand . She was curled up in a corner with her head buried in her knees . Her shoulders trembled every now and then .
Su Yu knew she was crying .
“Huo Mian, don't be afraid, I'm still here,” Su Yu walked over carefully when he received no response from Huo Mian . He continued, “Didn't you say no news is good news? His whereabouts are unknown, which means he's fine . Don't be sad, you're pregnant . If not for yourself, be strong for your babies . Dr . Luo told me that the mother's emotions can influence the baby's personalities a lot . So, Huo Mian, be strong . ” Su Yu's voice was gentle and tender . He never knew how to comfort girls . But right now, he was at his tenderest moment . He knelt beside Huo Mian and gently patted her back, as if he were comforting a child .
After a while, Huo Mian slowly lifted her head, and with tears streaming down her face, she asked, “Su Yu, I miss him . Can you take me with you to go and find him?”
Su Yu fell silent for a moment, not sure how to respond .
