Chapter 320 Dreaming
When Shen Yiguang returned, his wife was nowhere to be seen in either the courtyard or the main house, so he entered the room.
Seeing the girl quietly asleep on the heated brick bed, Shen Yiguang involuntarily lightened his step. He didn’t know how long she had been sleeping; he remembered it was just past one o’clock when he left, and now it was nearly six. If she had gone to sleep after he left, then she had been asleep for almost five hours. Sleeping too much during the day surely meant she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep at night.
He intended to go and wake her, as it was almost time for dinner, and if she’d been asleep all afternoon, she definitely hadn’t had her afternoon meal. He hoped she wasn’t starving.
"Minmin?"
Shen Yiguang sat on the edge of the brick bed, looking at her flushed sleeping face. Fearing she might catch a cold, the room’s heated bed was kept warm all day long. Feeling her apparent warmth in her sleep, he quickly checked her back and found she was indeed sweating.
"Minmin, wake up."
Yang PeiMin groggily opened her eyes, looked at Shen Yiguang in confusion, and then suddenly embraced him, "It’s you! You scared me!"
Shen Yiguang hugged her back, touching her forehead, "What’s the matter? Did you have a nightmare?"
Yang PeiMin nodded with a hoarse voice, still shaken from the dream, "I had a terrible dream. I dreamed I died in childbirth, that it was a disaster, and there was blood everywhere... so terrifying."
"Don’t be afraid, dreams are the opposite of reality," Shen Yiguang held her tight and gently stroked her back, comforting her softly, "I’m here now, everything is fine."
