Yue Ye slept through the entire night, tossing and turning in her sleep, her brows furrowed, looking like she had just had a nightmare.
"Big Brother!" Yue Ye sat up in bed, her entire body drenched in cold sweat.
"Yue Ye." Jun Wu Xie's voice suddenly rang out beside her ear.
Yue Ye turned her head around with a pale face and saw Jun Wu Xie sitting at the side of her bed. The room was filled with the faint scent of medicine, completely different from the rotten stench in her dream. Everything had just been a dream.
At that moment, Yue Ye was in a daze, unable to differentiate whether what had happened earlier was a dream or reality. Her heart wrenched in pain, that dream had felt so real, the pain tore at her heart.
"Master ….." Yue Ye stared at Jun Wu Xie a little dazed, her usually spirited face now looking haggard. Her voice was weak, almost pleading as she said to Jun Wu Xie.
"I dreamt just now, that Elder Yue had captured my elder brother. Was I dreaming? I just had a nightmare and nothing happened to my Big Brother right? "
Jun Wu Xie looked at Yue Ye silently, not knowing how to answer. Based on her experience, Yue Ye's mental state was at the edge of collapse. Yue Ye might be very strong, but over the past ten years, her mental state had been stretched to the point of breaking. With such a huge shock, if she was not careful in the slightest, she might very well break down completely.
"Master ….. Tell me quickly ….. Big Brother ….. Is he ….. alright ….. Was that just a dream ….." Yue Ye's voice was tinged with tears, as she looked pleadingly at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie slowly opened her mouth to say: "It was a dream. Yue Yi is still outside handling some matters and will only be back a little later. He's fine."
Hearing Jun Wu Xie's calm words, Yue Ye was stunned a moment, her pale face then breaking out into a weak but brilliant smile.
"So it was just a dream ….."
"You caught a cold and will recuperate here with me for the next few days. When Yue Yi comes back, I will ask him to come see you." Jun Wu Xie's cold voice was highly reassuring, her tone unruffled, as if nothing had happened.
"Mm." Yue Ye nodded obediently, hugging a corner of the blanket, her legs curled up.
"Here is the medicine. Take it first. I still have something to do. I'll see you later." Jun Wu Xie brought over the medicine that she had prepared earlier. The medicine was already cold but she used her spirit powers to quickly heat it up. When it was delivered into Yue Ye's hands, the temperature of the medicine was just right.
Yue Ye received the soup and held the bowl with both hands. She stared at her haggard reflection in the medicinal liquid and was in a daze.
She stared at it for a while before she gulped down the bitter medicine.
Jun Wu Xie took the empty bowl and got up to leave.
"Master!"
Jun Wu Xie's steps paused slightly and she turned her head calmly to look at Yue Ye.
"Big Brother will really come back?" Yue Ye's lips were trembling slightly.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head slightly but firmly, and then walked out.
At the moment the room's door was shut, Yue Ye hugged her head under the blanket, trying her best to curl herself up into a ball. If anyone were to see her, they would know that the little girl who was putting up a brave front was at that moment hiding under the blanket, trembling and crying soundlessly. She bit down hard on the corner of the blanket to prevent the sobs from spilling out from her mouth, but the tears that rolled down her cheeks had already soaked the corner of the blanket.
Jun Wu Xie stood behind the door and heard the sobs that were trying so hard to suppress within the room. She drew in a deep breath.
