    She looked up blankly, meeting a pair of worried, dark eyes. He Jue was half-squatting in front of her, his long fingers still resting on her shoulder, his brows slightly furrowed: "Had a nightmare?" Wen Mi opened her mouth, her throat dry and unable to utter a sound. She instinctively gripped the corner of the blanket, her fingertips still trembling slightly. The cold voice from her dream seemed to still echo in her ears— **"Wen Mi, do you think you can escape?"** He Jue noticed her unease, reaching out to gently wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, his voice softening: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His palm was warm, his fingertips calloused, a reassuring roughness against her skin. Wen Mi slowly came to her senses, only then realizing she was still in He Jue's apartment, the sunlight streaming through the window, but the figure of the person from her dream was nowhere to be seen. "... What time is it?" She asked hoarsely. "Three o'clock in the afternoon." He Jue poured her a glass of warm water. "You slept for four hours." Wen Mi took the glass, the warm water sliding down her throat, finally easing some of the chill from the nightmare. She looked down at the water, her eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes. "I dreamed about him." He Jue's eyes instantly turned cold. He knew who Wen Mi was talking about—the man who had kept her like a pet for three years, Shen Yan. "He can't find you." He Jue's tone was firm, and he reached out to ruffle her hair. "I promise." Wen Mi looked up at him. He Jue was backlit, his features gilded. Although his expression was still that arrogant look, his eyes were incredibly gentle. She suddenly remembered the first time she met He Jue. That day, Shen Yan took her to a party. As the young master of the He family, He Jue was surrounded by people like a star. And she, like a delicate doll, stood quietly behind Shen Yan, even her breathing was cautious. It wasn't until she went to the terrace for some fresh air that He Jue followed her, draping his coat over her shoulders without a word. "Aren't you cold wearing so little?" His tone was lazy, yet carried an undeniable force. Wen Mi was startled and took a half-step back, afraid Shen Yan would see this. He Jue chuckled, grabbing her wrist directly: "What are you afraid of? He's not here." Later, every time he saw her, he would deliberately tease her, even though she mostly kept her head down, too afraid to respond. And then… "What are you thinking about?" He Jue pinched her cheek, interrupting her reverie. Wen Mi shook her head, suddenly grabbing his coat: "He Jue…" "Hmm?" "You said…" her voice was soft, filled with uncertain hope, "Can I really start over?" He Jue stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly bent down and picked her up from the sofa, startling Wen Mi who gasped and clung to his neck. "He Jue! What are you doing—" "Taking my princess to see a new life." He smiled smugly, striding towards the balcony. The summer sun poured down, and Wen Mi squinted, seeing that the garden downstairs was now filled with blooming sunflowers, a golden expanse, vibrant and bright. Just like He Jue. "Wen Mi," he leaned close to her ear, his breath hot, "Don't be his tail anymore, come be my princess, okay?" (The End)

Su Yuebai's love for Jiajia is enviable; he's willing to always be the one to back down for her. He wants to give his little girl a unique title, so while others call her "Sweetie," he calls her "Jiajia." 💫⭐️🌟 ✨ The fifth one was also the first childhood sweetheart story that got me hooked.
