Chapter 1023: Unstoppable Rumors 7
"I’m not a three-year-old child, I can take good care of myself. As for you, you are my wife, He Teng’s wife, a soldier’s wife, and you must learn to overcome difficulties."
But as much as He Teng said that, he was genuinely worried about her. That’s why right after telling her to overcome difficulties, he continued by offering her advice, saying, "Otherwise, how about you live with Sister Lin? Let Sister Lin keep you company at night?"
"I can’t bear to be apart from you~" He Zhilan whispered with her lips bitten, "I like sleeping in your arms, I like smelling your scent. I want to see you every day, cook for you, do your laundry."
He Teng sighed softly. Indeed, his little wife was getting clingier to him.
"What kind of nightmares have you been having lately?" He Teng knew about He Zhilan’s situation of having nightmares at night. When they first married, He Zhilan would sometimes suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely. Later, the situation improved, but recently, He Zhilan’s nightmares seemed to have increased. Sometimes, he could even feel she was having nightmares the whole night until she woke up at dawn. Then, she would appear exhausted all day.
"Quite frequently." He Zhilan didn’t hide it and nodded, "Sometimes, I have all sorts of dreams all night long. I dream of a big, unclear-faced girl with twisted braids tying me up and throwing me into a dark, lightless room, and then suddenly, she turns her head and reveals her gaping maw. Sometimes, I dream of bloodied hands tearing open my abdomen, rummaging inside, and turning everything inside out. A lot, a lot, just like ghost stories."
He Teng was at a loss for words, his heart ached, it felt terrible.
