A moment later, the little boy in the dream slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing his mother, whom he was about to be separated from for a hundred years, lying next to him, Lele couldn't help but be overtaken by sadness and started to cry.
The slumbering couple were jolted awake instantly. The mother hastily cradled the small boy in her arms and gently comforted him, saying, "Did my baby have a bad dream? Don't be afraid, Mommy is here."
Lele greedily nestled in his mother's warm embrace. His tiny, delicate arms clung tightly around his mother's neck, as if he had been transported back to a time before the heavy rain five years ago.
Lele's crying eventually simmered down to occasional quiet sobs. As he basked in his mother's gentle caresses, he gradually closed his eyes again.
Seeing her child calm down, the mother didn't immediately fall asleep. Instead, she continued to hug her child, her hand rhythmically patting his back, and began humming a soothing tune in a hushed voice.
