[Blended Family + Sweet Romance + Tragedy]
Rain had been pouring outside, pattering against the windows. Liang Xia, jolted awake by a nightmare, saw Ren Feng leaning by the window, her forehead slick with cold sweat. Noticing she was awake, Ren Feng asked, “How are you feeling?”
Tears slid down Liang Xia’s face. Before Ren Feng could react, she threw her arms around her and held her tight. “It’s okay, it’s okay. It was only a dream...”
“What did you dream about?”
“I... I dreamed you died.”
“Really? I’m right here, aren’t I? Let it be a dream.”
“Maybe... If it’s a dream, I don’t want to wake up...” Liang Xia couldn’t hold back anymore and began to sob even harder.
“Do you know, Xiaxia? I’m the wind. I’ll always be by your side, no matter what. So don’t cry. Look, the sky’s clearing.” Ren Feng gently patted Liang Xia and lifted her face toward the window.
“Right, the sky’s clear. The dream should be over too...” Liang Xia rested her head on Ren Feng’s shoulder. “I’d follow the wind wherever it went, just to stay by your side. Maybe that’s wrong, but I really don’t want to let go. Ren Feng, I’m tired. Take me with you...”
Ren Feng’s eyes were full of tenderness. She kissed Liang Xia gently on the forehead and said softly, “It’s time to wake up, Xiaxia. This time, I won’t take you with me.”
When the sunlight streaming through the window fell across Liang Xia’s eyes, tears rolled down her cheeks. Then Auntie Qiao’s voice rang out:
“Nurse! She’s responding!”
P.S. This is neither the beginning nor the ending.
Keep up the good work!
