"But it felt so real..."
Lü Liang took a sip of his drink and looked at the woman muttering on the bed with even more disgust in his eyes.
"What exactly happened between you and Yong Shanling?"
"I told her all about our plan..."
"What!" Lü Liang suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table. He stared at Mu Yu in surprise with wide - open eyes.
Mu Yu frowned slightly and looked at Lü Liang unhappily. "You said she didn't get in touch with me. What are you still worried about?"
"This woman is full of tricks. One careless move and you'll fall into her trap."
Mu Yu squinted her eyes. "Yes, she is really... not simple."
Mu Yu spent the whole night thinking about Yong Shanling. Before she knew it, dawn had broken. Hearing a little noise beside her, she rushed out of the room in a hurry.
Yong Shanling looked at the woman in front of her. A hint of mockery flashed across her eyes. Then she took Mu Yu's hand. "Sister Yu, are you okay? How did you sleep last night?"
"I had a dream last night. It was about you."
Yong Shanling looked at her in surprise. "Really... It might have been a nightmare. Sister Yu, you've got dark circles under your eyes."
"Do you want to hear about it?"
"Um... Although I'd really like to, I'm going out to play with Uncle Shu today."
Then Yong Shanling suddenly leaned over and whispered in Mu Yu's ear. "If possible, let's meet in our dreams tonight."
After saying that, she immediately ran to Mu Yijie's side, waved at Mu Yu with a smile, and when she turned around, the smile on her face was already gone.
Liu Ming looked at Yong Shanling curiously. "Shanling, what did you just say to her?"
"Nothing. I just asked how she slept last night."
"What did she say?"
"She seemed to have slept quite comfortably."
Mu Yijie helplessly tapped her on the head. "You should have less contact with Mu Yu recently. Wait until I've investigated everything before you get involved."
Yong Shanling pouted and looked at him unhappily. "Got it, Uncle Shu. If you keep tapping my head, I might not grow taller."
Mu Yijie lowered his head and looked at the petite Yong Shanling beside him. Suddenly he burst out laughing. "It seems that's true."
Yong Shanling angrily pinched his waist. The playfulness of the three of them fell into Mu Yu's eyes on the second floor. Mu Yu tightened her grip on her clothes. She didn't even notice when her fingernails dug into her flesh.
Mu Yijie drove the car towards the sea.
"Uncle Shu, are we going to the seaside?"
"There's an island here. I heard it's very beautiful. There are red corals, dolphins, and sharks in the sea."
Mu Yijie slowly explained to the two of them. Hearing this, Yong Shanling's eyes sparkled. "That's great. I've never been to the bottom of the sea."
"Little one, there are all kinds of stupid creatures in the sea. You'd better keep a close eye on your precious Uncle Shu." Qing Yuan, sitting beside her, spoke up.
It took two hours before they successfully reached the island. Liu Ming, who couldn't handle boats well, started vomiting as soon as she got off the boat.
Qing Yuan looked at her with disgust. After they entered the villa, the diving instructor walked in. When Yong Shanling saw one of the men, her eyes darkened.
Qing Yuan slowly helped Liu Ming in. Liu Ming also seemed to have seen the man. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Yong Shanling shook her head.
When the four of them changed into their diving suits, they couldn't help but feel excited.
"Qing Yuan, isn't Qing Sui coming?"
"Sister never liked water. She won't touch it unless there's an emergency."
Yong Shanling walked forward with a look of regret. Nan Min slowly walked up to her. "We meet again."
"What do you want now?" Yong Shanling looked at the man beside her. Her good mood vanished instantly. Mu Yijie had already reached the seaside.
"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?"
"I didn't give you any trouble last time, but you're coming at me again. What do you want?"
She walked forward impatiently. Qing Yuan couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
"Which one of this little one's suitors are you?"
Nan Min raised his eyebrows and looked at Yong Shanling. He pointed at her and looked at Qing Yuan. "Does she have a lot of men?"
"Quite a few have been chasing after her, but unfortunately, there's only Uncle Shu in her heart. You'd better give up this idea early, soul - cultivator."
Qing Yuan deliberately slowed down her steps to put some distance between them.
"Soul - cultivator? Hahaha, how do you know that?"
A hint of disgust flashed across Qing Yuan's eyes. "No matter how you try to cover it up, the disgusting smell on you will never go away."
"It seems that you all really hate me."
"Hate is an understatement. You're just disgusting." Yong Shanling turned around and looked at Nan Min expressionlessly.
"If you talk like this, aren't you afraid that I'll go after Mu Yijie?"
"I'll do my best to protect him, even if it means sacrificing my life."
Hearing this, Nan Min stopped walking. He looked at her seriously. "So you still abandoned him, right?"
Yong Shanling couldn't help but burst out laughing at his vague words. "Who is he?"
Suddenly remembering something, she immediately turned around, but Nan Min had already disappeared from the spot. "Nan Min! Nan Min!"
Qing Yuan looked at her curiously. "He left after he finished speaking. What's wrong?"
Yong Shanling nervously grabbed Qing Yuan's hand. "Can you find him?"
Qing Yuan sighed. "My duty is to protect you."
Hearing Qing Yuan's answer, she put down her hand dejectedly and walked towards the seaside. "It seems that Nan Min knows about Gu Li."
Yong Shanling looked up at the blue sky and was lost in thought. "It's been a long time since I dreamed about them..."
She went into the water and dived into the sea with the instructor. But Yong Shanling seemed to have forgotten what the instructor said. She swam forward alone and disappeared from the instructor's sight in an instant. The instructor was so anxious that he went ashore.
Seeing Qing Sui standing aside, he said, "Miss Yong Shan just disappeared. Please call the rescue team immediately."
"She'll come back when she's ready. Give her some time."
The instructor didn't understand what she was talking about. He looked at Qing Sui anxiously. As soon as he met her eyes, he fainted.
In the sea, Yong Shanling was still thinking about Gu Li. Who on earth was he? What was his relationship with her? Why, why... did they all say that she had betrayed him...
"Since the moment you forgot him, you betrayed him."
Many unheard voices echoed in her mind again. Yong Shanling immediately stopped swimming forward.
"But I've never remembered having such a person."
"Because you chose to forget him. You were afraid to face him."
Hearing the words in her mind, a flash of a picture appeared in Yong Shanling's mind, but then it disappeared.
"What... did I do to him?"
Yong Shanling asked with a trembling voice. Her intuition told her that the dream seemed to be related to her.
