Rong Shaoze held her hand tightly, smiling softly: "You forgot, you were drugged by someone. Luckily, Sang Wu arrived in time and rescued you." Lin Xinlan suddenly realized, "That guy... Chen Yang is suspicious!" "Yeah, he’s been captured. He is one of Yuan Ye’s people, the person who saved Yuan Ye back then," Rong Shaoze explained. "We always suspected there was someone working for him inside, so I asked Sang Wu to keep an eye on you. Who would have thought he’d slip up?" Lin Xinlan nodded in understanding, "I see." Rong Shaoze stared deeply at her, and Lin Xinlan asked, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?" "...Did you just have a dream?" he asked casually. Lin Xinlan recalled the scenes from the dream and immediately felt guilty. If Rong Shaoze knew she didn’t remember him in the dream, he’d surely be upset. "It’s nothing, I forgot..." The man played with her fingers lightly, his gaze somewhat profound. Lin Xinlan felt he was a little strange, anyway, the way he looked at her was odd. It seemed like he was waiting for something, yet was angry about something... Could it be she said something in the dream that made him suspect something? "Um, I want some water, can you get me some?" She decided to divert his attention, preventing him from overthinking. Rong Shaoze immediately got up and poured her some water, helping her up and feeding her. "Xinlan..." he called her name softly, his expression still strange. "Go get me another cup." Lin Xinlan quickly diverted his attention again. After drinking a cup, she asked for another. When she asked for a fourth cup, Rong Shaoze was done. "Are you really that thirsty?" "Xinlan, isn’t there something you want to tell me?" Rong Shaoze sat beside her, his tone full of grievance. Lin Xinlan felt a tingling on her scalp, well, it was now or never. "Alright, I’ll confess!" The man raised an eyebrow slightly, wisely saying nothing. Fresh chapters posted on novᴇlfire.net Seeing him wait for her to speak, Lin Xinlan lowered her gaze, guilty: "I just dreamt, in the dream I didn’t remember you, even forgot your name..." Rong Shaoze squinted slightly, "You forgot me?" "Don’t be mad, I later tried hard to recall and still remembered you!" Lin Xinlan said ingratiatingly. No wonder she uttered that inexplicable sentence as soon as she woke up. "Is that all you wanted to say to me?" Rong Shaoze’s tone was even more displeased. Lin Xinlan nodded heavily, "Yes, that’s all!" The man took a deep breath, a shadow flitting across his eyes. He stood up abruptly, ready to leave. Suddenly, Lin Xinlan hugged him tightly from behind, burying her face against his back. His whole body trembled, frozen in place without turning back. Lin Xinlan inhaled his scent deeply, whispering softly, "There’s one more thing I want to say to you... Rong Shaoze, I miss you, miss you so much... Welcome back." Rong Shaoze held her hand, a hint of smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "I thought you forgot." He managed to hurry back to reunite with her, not wanting her to worry too much. Only to learn about her being unconscious. He stayed by her side all night feeling distressed, thinking she’d be happy and excited when she saw him after waking. Who would’ve known, she had no reaction to his return. The hardship was over, the rest is all about emotions~~
