The driver who was behind the wheel was startled by her sudden scream and his hand, clutching the steering wheel, gave a violent jolt. The car nearly swerved off course. The driver quickly composed himself and focused on driving.
Upon seeing Shen Qingcong suddenly screaming in horror, with her hands flailing around in her sleep, Xiao Chifeng knew instantly that she was having a nightmare!
He quickly embraced her, gently patting her back, softly soothing her, "Congcong darling, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am here, nothing will happen. Hush now, hush, don't be scared, don't be scared…"
Perhaps his voice had a calming effect, sure enough, Shen Qingcong quieted down very soon.
After a while, Shen Qingcong slowly opened her eyes.
Those eyes, black as the night sky, looked bewilderedly at his face, as if unfocused. A slight tilt and she blinked, her eyes regaining clarity.
