He was awoken by a nightmare.
The moment he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of his niece, who was staring at him with watery, red eyes.
He was startled. In the next moment, his eyes reddened for no reason. Suddenly, he lowered his head and planted a pained and panicked kiss on Chi Yi's pale lips.
He had just had a dream, and he actually dreamed of Chi Yi in a daze.
Just like that, she never woke up!
He was simply too afraid, afraid that she would really leave him in a daze.
"You're awake?"
He asked her in a hoarse voice.
It was as if he was afraid that he would wake her up if he spoke too loudly.
Chi Yi stared at him in a daze, as though she had yet to come back to her senses. Her pale face was drained of all color, and her eyes seemed to be out of focus. All of a sudden, her eyes turned warm as a few drops of tears welled up in her eyes.
In the next moment, she could no longer hold back her sobs.
