Chapter 23: Entering the Dream

The warm water was quickly delivered. Li Xiaoran had already taken out the medicine from the porcelain bottle.

Just as she was about to feed one to Luo Cheng, Big Yellow barked at Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment before she understood, so she took out two pills.

After Big Yellow saw it clearly, it lay down and stared at Luo Cheng.

Seeing that Big Yellow didn’t bark anymore, Li Xiaoran used water to make Luo Cheng swallow the pill.

“Looks like Luo Cheng has been like this before. That’s why Big Yellow asked me to feed him this pill! Father, Mother, it’s fine now. Just wait for the pill to take effect! I’ll guard this place. Go and rest!”

Li Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said, “Sister, I’ll stay and help you!”

Li Xiaoran waved her hand and rejected her sister’s kindness.

“No, you should go and rest too! Too many things have happened in the past two days, and you need to rest too. Besides, if Luo Cheng doesn’t wake up at night, he needs someone to take care of him. When the time comes, you guys will have to help me!”

Li Shun felt that his daughter was right, so he nodded and walked out with Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing.

When there was only one person left in the room, Li Xiaoran reached out to touch Luo Cheng’s forehead.

Although his forehead was a little cold this time, it was much better than before.

Li Xiaoran looked around and thought of something before coming to the door.

“Xiao Qing, I think there’s a lot of firewood in the kitchen. Go and look for something like a small stove. Bring a stove over!”

When Li Xiaoqing heard her sister’s words, she agreed and went to the kitchen.

The unconscious Luo Cheng no longer had his usual coldness and ferocity. At this moment, he looked approachable.

However, his brows were furrowed.

Under the blanket, where no one could see, Luo Cheng’s hands were now clenched into fists, as if he was fighting something.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiaoran could sense his intense emotions.

“Luo Cheng, what’s wrong with you? Why can I sense that you feel very afraid and helpless?”

Lying on the bed, Luo Cheng naturally couldn’t answer Li Xiaoran, and Li Xiaoran had no way of knowing the cause of all this.

Soon, Li Xiaoqing brought the small stove over and the house became much warmer.

Li Xiaoran, who had been busy in front of Luo Cheng’s bed for most of the day, was also a little tired.

Li Xiaoran actually fell asleep beside Luo Cheng.

Ever since Big Yellow brought the medicine bottle over, it had been lying on the bed and guarding Luo Cheng.

Seeing that Li Xiaoran was also asleep, Big Yellow stuck out its head to take a look. Then, it lay down and fell asleep.

Just like that, the two of them and the dog actually slept in the same room.

In her sleep, Li Xiaoran felt that she had suddenly arrived at a place.

The place was freezing, the cold biting into her bones, making her shiver involuntarily when she arrived.

Before she could adjust, she heard the sound of a little boy crying.

“Is there anyone? Help me!”

The voice was small and feeble.

Li Xiaoran was shocked and walked towards the source of the voice.

The closer she got, the brighter everything became.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran could clearly see a trembling little boy curled up in the corner of an ice cave.

The little boy seemed to be unconscious from the cold, so he tried his best to shout for help one moment, but then he couldn’t resist the sleepiness and wanted to close his eyes.

However, he was too weak. His voice was like a cat’s meow.

At that moment, the boy seemed unable to bear it any longer. Sleep overtook him and his entire head drooped.

“Don’t sleep. You can’t sleep. If you really fall asleep here, you’ll die!” When Li Xiaoran saw this scene, she already understood something and rushed over to shake the little boy awake.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t even touch the boy. Her hands passed through him.

“Am I in a dream?!” Li Xiaoran immediately reacted.

Her empathic ability also had a special skill, which allowed her to enter other people’s dreams under special circumstances.

If someone in a dream was too emotional, it would arouse Li Xiaoran’s sympathy. If Li Xiaoran was also sleeping, it would be easy for her to enter someone else’s dream.

Therefore, at the thought of this, Li Xiaoran seemed to understand something.

She must have fallen asleep beside Luo Cheng, so this should be Luo Cheng’s dream.

No wonder. No wonder his entire body had been cold before. It seemed that this dream was the cause of all this.

After figuring this out, Li Xiaoran thought about it and sat beside Luo Cheng.

“Luo Cheng, wake up. You’re dreaming! None of this is real. Hurry up and wake up!” Li Xiaoran tried to wake Luo Cheng up from his dream.

It was unknown if it was Li Xiaoran’s call or the two pills.

Luo Cheng finally woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the familiar bed curtains, Luo Cheng remembered what had happened before.

Under Big Yellow’s guidance, he had found a wooden box earlier. When he opened it, he saw a wooden box.

As soon as he had the wooden box in his hand, he smelled a fragrant scent.

To others, this fragrance was just a pleasant fragrance. But to Luo Cheng, it was the catalyst for his lifelong nightmare.

At this thought, Luo Cheng struggled to sit up.

Big Yellow was the first to notice Luo Cheng’s movements. Seeing that he was awake, Big Yellow stood up happily and licked his hand.

Luo Cheng saw that Big Yellow was guarding him and understood something, so he reached out and touched Big Yellow’s head.

“Thank you! Big Yellow!”

Big Yellow shook its head and smiled at Luo Cheng. Then, it thought of something and raised a claw to point at where Li Xiaoran was lying.

Luo Cheng followed the direction Big Yellow’s claws were pointing in and saw Li Xiaoran.

When he saw Li Xiaoran guarding him, Luo Cheng’s heart warmed. Then, he thought of something and took out a slightly thicker shirt from his bed and gently covered Li Xiaoran with it.

Ever since Luo Cheng woke up, that dream had disappeared.

As she had consumed too much of her empathy ability, she fell asleep. She didn’t even feel it when Luo Cheng covered her with his clothes.

Seeing that Li Xiaoran didn’t wake up, Luo Cheng lifted the blanket and carried Li Xiaoran up before covering her with a thin blanket.

“Big Yellow, guard her!” After Luo Cheng was done, he folded the blanket he had used before and put it in the cabinet. Then, he left with the small stove.
