Ji Nuan was floating in darkness, when suddenly a bright white light appeared in front of her. She joyfully ran towards the light, only to see Bertel holding Xiu Yan, diving into the Eneru River filled with beast-eating fish.
"No!!!" She woke up screaming, glancing at her surroundings. The familiar kangs and room — she was at home.
She wiped off her sweat. The dream had been too real, frightening her into sweating all over.
"Brother Xiu Yan? Brother Xiu Yan?" Ji Nuan called Xiu Yan's name in an uneasy tone, yet received no response.
She forced down her unease: "Did he go out? Where would he go so early in the morning?"
Grabbing her clothes by the kangs and putting them on, she put on her shoes and left the room. Yet outside, though it was bright, it was not early morning as she had thought, but ten in the afternoon.
Scratching her head: "Did I sleep till this late today? No wonder Brother Xiu Yan isn't here, he must have gone hunting."
