Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sitting still, Shen Xi let Li Yuan hug her for as long as he wanted. It took a while before she whispered, “Brother, what was your dream about?”
What did he dream about to cry out her name so anxiously and hopelessly in his sleep?

“| dreamed that you were picked on by the Su family.” Having simmered down, Li Yuan spoke slowly. Everything in the dream seemed so real.
He had never seen his fair lady so cautious to please anyone while wearing her heart on her sleeve to only receive apathy in return.

In the dream, she saw him just prior to her departure. Could he find solace in that?

“They did bully me when I was living with them.” Shen Xi sounded muffled as she clung to his waist and sighed. “But the Su family is no more. There’s no need to
dwell on it.”

She was now living her happy ending. Nothing could beat that, and she could not ask for anything more.

With downcast eyes, Li Yuan tried to read the girl’s expressions. However, she buried her head in his arms. Her tightened grip around his waist saw his face fall.
The girl’s calm and collected reaction only confirmed his suspicions that everything in the dream may have happened.

His fair lady was not unreasonable. She would not tear the Su family apart if all they did was give her the snub.

Li Yuan failed to find the courage to tell her the truth about his dreams, nor could he bring himself to ask her whether it had once been her reality.

Whatever happened in the dream hurt him too much.

As an observer, he saw the pain eat her alive in the dream. How was she able to put up a brave face and get through it?

If this was true, the Su family deserved more than being torn from limb to limb. How could they do that to her!

“Brother, I had a dream too.” Between snuffles, Shen Xi blurted, “I dreamed that I died from a terminal illness. You cremated me.”

He burned the book and destroyed the whole world with it. She guessed she could say that they died in cremation.

Everything from the previous life should disperse along with the Su family’s demise. The only thing on Shen Xi’s mind now was to safeguard the hard-won happy
moments.

With still a lifetime to spend together, Shen Xi could slowly lay bare to him bit by bit.

“Hm.” Li Yuan responded as he leaned in to plant a kiss on her forehead. With heartache etched in his eyes, he tenderly uttered, “Don’t dwell on it. Go to sleep. I’ll
always be here by your side.”

Drawing near, Shen Xi kissed him on the lips and stared at him with bright eyes. “Goodnight.”

The next morning.

Shen Xi opened her eyes and met the man’s narrow eyes. In a daze, she furrowed her brows and felt his face. Shen Xi mumbled, “Why aren’t you asleep, Brother?”
Why was he staring at her bright early in the morning?

“I just got up.” Li Yuan brushed the girl’s nose tip with his hooked finger while smiling affectionately. “What do you fancy having later?”

He lied. Li Yuan did not dare to sleep or close his eyes after waking up from the nightmare. He was afraid she might disappear once he shut his eyes.

“Anything’s fine.” Shen Xi loved the feeling of waking up to her beloved. She could see and feel him.

“How does a sandwich sound?” Li Yuan asked for her opinion.

Shen Xi immediately bobbed her bird’s nest of a head. She sat up and raised her hand. “I want to help.”

The couple got out of bed and freshened up.

Uncle Li came by to ask about breakfast. After finding out that they were going to work on it together, Uncle Li had the kitchen prepare the ingredients before
dismissing them for the morning.

The couple was left alone in the wide space.

Taking the girl by the hand, Li Yuan walked into the kitchen before examining and picking her favorites from the readied ingredients.
Shen Xi made her selections while helping herself to it. She was about to grab the bacon when she was seized by a large hand.

Li Yuan sounded helpless. “You can’t eat this.”

Shen Xi stuck out her tongue. “I’m not a dummy. | want this.”

As she was speaking, Shen Xi reached for the shredded cheese and squished it a little. Seeing that the man was still looking at her, she stuffed the shredded cheese
in his mouth.

With darkened eyes, Li Yuan gazed at the girl. “Are you that hungry?”
Shen Xi cleared her throat. “Not really.”

She had the feeling that something was missing if she did not munch on food while working in the kitchen. Anything would do, be it a tomato or lettuce, so long as
she had something in her mouth.

Li Yuan suddenly leaned forward to kiss her on the lips.
His actions caught Shen Xi off guard. The man’s handsome face magnified in her vision, and soon a heavy stench of cheese from his mouth ensued.
A simple breakfast of sandwiches took them two hours to complete. It was then they finally had the first meal of the day.

Grinning from ear to ear, Uncle Li would take a quick look at the couple every now and then while clearing the table. The young master and Ms. Shen should get
married soon.

He had never seen a happier and more delightful smile on the young master’s face. The young master was simply beaming with joy.

Uncle Li heard from Kun Lun that the young master and Ms. Shen had gotten their marriage license. Kun Lun also shared the good news that the wedding may
possibly be held at Li Mansion. If the old master, madam, young lady, and young master were still alive, they would be so happy for the pair.

It was about time to bring life back to Li’s family home. Ms. Shen had only been here for one night, and the house already seemed like it had been given a new lease
of life.

After breakfast, Li Yuan dropped Shen Xi off at the building of her medical school. He watched as his fair lady waved her hand and walked into the building with her
backpack before taking off.

She stepped into the classroom to find her classmates gathered in twos and threes. The conversation appeared to revolve around the millennial snow lotus.
In Chinese medicine, the snow lotus was a valuable herb. As medical students, the students took a lot of interest in this rare treasure.

Perhaps Shen Xi had been too busy to learn about it. Situ Zhangyou had not brought it up during their calls either. She did not have much of a demand for snow
lotuses, regardless of their age.

Still, she was interested to acquire the treasure if it was true.
“Xixi, do you think there’s really a millennial snow lotus in the world?” Yan Xiaoxiao earnestly inquired.

“Of course, there is.” Jiang Xuanxuan answered her..
