In Yang Yun's dream, Mingyue appeared vividly in front of him . In this dream, the two of them were walking in the mountain early in the morning . Mingyue was gathering herbs like she always does, and Yang Yun was accompanying her . They walked side by side, holding hands .
For a second, Mingyue turned to look at him . Her head blocked away from the sunlight, but he could see her smiling face clearly . The wind blew softly, and with her free hand, Mingyue tucked her hair behind her ear . She seemed to be saying something, but Yang Yun could not hear her voice .
The sky turned darker suddenly .
Mingyue turned to look at the sky . When she looked at him again, there was horror in her expression . Abruptly, Yang Yun could feel a force trying to pull his wife away from him . Yang Yun tightened up his grip around Mingyue's wrist .
This time, he will not let her go!
However, the force was too strong . Mingyue fell backward, pulling him along with her . All of a sudden, they fell into deep water . He tried to swim up and failed . But he could only feel something pressing on his chest, causing him to have difficulties in breathing . Yang Yun looked at his wife in panic . At this time, Mingyue opened her mouth and screamed .
"Yang Yun!"
His body jerked up . Yang Yun looked around with labored breathing . When he could not see Mingyue, he started to panic .
"Yang Yun!"
Hearing someone calling up his name, Yang Yun immediately sobered up . His gaze roamed around . It was then that he realized that he was back in his room in Yang's mansion .
Yang Yun gasped as he felt someone touching his leg . His gaze met with his mother's worried face .
"What's wrong with you? Another nightmare?" His mother, Liu Qing Xin, asked . She touched her son's forehead before she moved to pick up a black cat, sitting on Yang Yun's chest .
Yang Yun stared at Xiao Mi who nestled in his mother's arms .
This damn cat! No wonder he was suffocated in his dream!
As if sensing Yang Yun's enmity, Xiao Mi turned to Yang Yun and meowed . The look on his face showed as if he had not done anything wrong . Xiao Mi blinked once, jumped off Liu Qing Xin's embrace and walked out the room .
"Are you alright?" Liu Qing Xin sat down beside her son . Her gaze softened as she watched him .
Yang Yun turned to her mother and smiled . "I'm alright . Just the same old dream . "
"What is it about?"
Yang Yun hesitated for a moment . Then he shook his head . "I don't remember much," he lied . Yang Yun knew that his mother would worry if he told her that every day, he would dream of Mingyue .
Liu Qing Xin sighed . "Young General Jiang is here to visit you . "
Hearing the general's name, Yang Yun, sat up straight . He hissed when the wound on his waist started to hurt again .
"Careful!" Liu Qing Xin moved to help her son . "You stay here . I will ask the general to come here . "
"He's my superior . "
"You're injured! You're a patient," his mother pointed out . "Young General Jiang would not mind this . He's here to visit you after all . "
Yang Yun nodded weakly . "Help me to dress up . "
After a while, a servant led Jiang Xiao Xian into Yang Yun's room . Subconsciously, Yang Yun sat up straight . "General!" he greeted .
Jiang Xiao Xian lifted his hand . "You don't have to be so formal . Relax . I heard you're injured . I'm only here to visit you," the general said . He turned to Yang Yun's mother and greeted the elder politely .
"I'll leave both of you to talk . I'll ask the servant to bring in some refreshment later," Liu Qing Xin said before she exited the room .
"General Jiang . Forgive me . I didn't know you're back from the Northern Border . " Yang Yun said after his mother had retreated .
"I have been back for a couple of weeks," Jiang Xiao Xian said . He glanced at a stool, pulled it towards Yang Yun's side, and sat down . "You've been staying home, recuperating . I guess you did not know what happened in the capital . "
"What happened?"
"I'll tell you next time," Jiang Xiao Xian said . He gave Yang Yun a look over, and his gaze stopped at his stomach area . "I heard from my grandfather that your injury is quite bad . How are you feeling now?"
"Still recovering," Yang Yun said . His body went stiff as the young general mentioned his injury . He knew right away what was the General's purpose of coming to visit him .
Jiang Xiao Xian tilted his head sideways and stared at his subordinate . For a minute, it seemed as the two of them were engaged in a staring contest . "So tell me," Xiao Xian spoke . "What happened back in the mountain?"
