"Please... let me go."
"Don't... Mom... Dad..."
Gu Mochen: "..."
Although Jian Ran was asleep, tear stains still marked her beautiful eyes. Seeing Jian Ran struggle even in her dreams, Gu Mochen's brows furrowed with reluctance and he reached out to wake her.
"Jian Ran, wake up..."
"Ranran..."
"Don't..."
The voice by her ear seemed to blend with the heavy panting of a man from four years ago. Jian Ran abruptly raised her hand to push the man in front of her away; then, hugging her knees, she scooted back against the bed.
Jian Ran was still in a state of panic. After taking a while to recover, she looked up at the man before her, whose familiar face and concerned expression quickly pulled her back to reality.
"Gu Mochen?"
Tears filled Jian Ran's eyes and her whole body trembled violently, just like a terrified child, confused and helpless.
Listening to her uncertain voice, Gu Mochen reached out to wrap Jian Ran in his embrace.
