The dream was very strange, but I couldn't wake up because I was too warm and comfortable.
"Nanxing, Nanxing, wake up," Jing Tian's deep voice whispered in my ear, but I couldn't wake up.
I dreamed of myself, my parents, and many other people. The dreams were chaotic. I was actually very scared, but I didn't want to wake up. I didn't want to leave. It wasn't a dream. It was my memory!
"Nanxing, quick, follow me. Cousin will bring you to eat something delicious."
"Cousin, what delicious food do you have for me to eat? Mom said that if I eat something that someone else gave me, she will spank me. Even Dad can't stop her!"
"Is Auntie that fierce?"
"Yes. Mom has been very angry recently."
"It's okay. We'll keep it quiet. Don't tell Auntie, and I won't tell anyone either, okay?"
"Okay! Cousin, you're the best. Nanxing loves you the most!"
"Then, would Nanxing like to leave with brother?"
"Are we going to leave and find much delicious food?"
"Of course. There will be a lot of delicious food outside that you haven't seen before."
"Cousin, you will have to wait for me. When I grow up, I'll go with you."
"Huan Huan, the only way now is to seal Nanxing's blood and her memories. Let her return to a normal life."
"But, will your brother treat Nanxing well?"
"I have promised him enough money to treat our daughter well!"
"Ah Zheng, forgive me, but I don't believe him! You've seen what my own brother is like. I can't trust your brother. I'm afraid that he will treat Nanxing badly!"
"Huan Huan, calm down. Calm down and listen to me. My brother is not crazy. He is just greedy. As long as we give him enough money, he will not make things difficult for Nanxing. However, your brother wants your Nanxing's blood. He doesn't want anything else. Weigh the pros and cons. Think about it, what choice do we have?"
"Ah Zheng, I'm sorry. It's all my fault! How about... how about we run away?"
"Huan Huan, don't be like this. It's not your fault. Huan Huan, stop crying. Nanxing will be sad if she sees this. The most important thing for us now is to solve the problem first. We'll have Nanxing live a normal life. Okay?"
"Okay. She will be an ordinary person who doesn't have to worry about anything in the world. At least, she'll be safe that way. My poor daughter!"
That was my mother. She was crying so badly.
In my dream, I stood quietly by her side.
Mom, there is no safe place in this world. You want me to live the life of an ordinary person, but I am born not to be ordinary. I can't live that life. I don't have that kind of fortune.
Mom, if I had the chance to weigh in, I would have preferred to stay with you and Dad. I am willing to live a life as a fugitive. I wouldn't mind even if we were being hunted down. I don't want to be separated from you.
"Nanxing, wake up, wake up." It was Jing Tian's voice again.
I opened my eyes and met Jing Tian's worried eyes.
"Nanxing, what did you dream about? You were crying," Jing Tian asked me gently.
I wiped my face with my hand. Tears streamed down my face.
Everything in the dream was clear. It wasn't a dream, but my sealed memories.
I was stunned.
Jing Tian was lying on his side, looking at me affectionately with worry in his eyes.
