He needed time to himself, to quietly think about what to do next.
Ye Che's mind was in a mess; he had no appetite for dinner and fell asleep after eating just a little.
He didn't know how long he had slept when he suddenly sat up in bed, his head drenched in cold sweat. His lips were slightly purple as he trembled and called out, "Yiyi... Yiyi..."
He was having a nightmare in which he found himself standing in the dock, while Xia Weiyi, clad in a wedding gown, walked past him. He tried to reach out and hold her, but she seemed not to see him at all and walked towards the other end of the red carpet.
There stood a man, Xu Zhiye.
They exchanged rings and kissed each other, while Ye Che watched them with his eyes wide open. He cried out desperately, pleaded earnestly, but he couldn't get Xia Weiyi to look back at him.
Ye Che's chest heaved violently, and after turning on all the lights in the room, he realized that it had all been a dream.
