Pei Jiao blinked. âBe more formal?â
âYeah,â he said.
Pei Jiao couldnât help but laugh. âWhat is so important that you have to be more formal? Why donât you tell me some now? Otherwise, I wonât be able to sleep tonight.â
She was really curious. Whether it was the side she deliberately displayed or the other side of her heart, she was especially curious about what Wei Yu had just said. However, Wei Yu would not stay and tell Pei Jiao now. âWeâll talk tomorrow. Sleep early. Iâll go back first.â
With that, he turned and left.
Pei Jiao stared at Wei Yuâs departing figure until he closed the door and left. She slowly retracted her gaze. She raised her hand and touched her lips. The burning pain from before had lessened, and it was cold now. This anti-inflammatory medicine was indeed very effective.
Pei Jiao couldnât help but laugh, and she was very happy. She slowly returned to the bed and sat down. She turned her elbows back and propped herself up on the bed. She raised her face and looked at the ceiling, the smile on her lips growing brighter.
It was quite tiring to pretend for so long. However, Pei Jiao did not expect it to
work so quickly. She thought that it would be very difficult to conquer Wei Yu. She was even worried that her patience would run out early.
Fortunately, everything was going according to her plan.
Pei Jiao smiled in satisfaction. In such a good mood today, she expected to sleep peacefully tonight. Instead, she had a nightmare. In her dream, she was holding a wedding with Wei Yu. She was wearing a snow-white wedding dress and a veil on her head, happily receiving blessings from every family and friend.
Wei Yu was also wearing a white suit and was so dazzling among the guests. Many guests came to the event location. Wei Yu t s relatives, her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and younger brother were all here to witness her and Wei Yuâs happy moment.
When the wedding was held, she and Wei Yu were standing face to face, The priest was reading the oath.
When the priest asked Wei Yu, âAre you willing to be engaged to her? In the future, be it illness or health, or any other reason, you will love her, take care of her, respect her, accept her, and be loyal to her until the end of your life?â
Wei Yu looked at Pei Jiao and did not answer. Instead, he asked her, âDo you love me?â
Pei Jiao nodded. âl love you.â
Wei Yu shook his head, looking dazed. âYouâre lying to meâ¦â
Pei Jiao looked puzzled. âWhatâs wrong?â
Wei Yu did not say anything else. He took out a dagger from his white suit jacket. The moment he raised the dagger, the blade flashed with a sharp cold light. Pei Jiao was frightened. She watched helplessly as Wei Yu raised the dagger and stabbed at her, but she did not move.
The knife came down and pulled out again. Blood splattered everywhere, instantly staining Pei Jiaoâs white wedding dress like red spider lilies. Pei Jiao held her bleeding chest, her pale face filled with disbelief and unwillingness. âWhy? Why did you kill me?â
When she was in danger, she did not ask for help. Instead, she asked Wei Yu why he had raised a knife to kill her at the wedding.
âBecause I love you,â Wei Yu said and laughed involuntarily.
The knife he was holding was dripping blood. A large portion of his white suit was stained by Pei Jiaoâs blood, and his face was also covered in blood.
Wei Yuâs facial features seemed to be twisted together and gradually became terrifying. He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood off his lips. Then, he slowly squatted down and said to Pei Jiao, âl killed you with my own hands. This way, you will always be mine.â He raised the knife in his hand again and stabbed himself in the abdomen.
Pei Jiao was so weak that she could not make a sound. She could not stop him and could only watch as he committed suicide in front of her. The bright red blood almost dyed the snow-white of the two of them red.
In the end, Wei Yu fell into Pei Jiaoâs arms. Her five senses dissipated. Just as her consciousness was about to disappear, Pei Jiao heard Wei Yu say to her with the last of his strength, âIâll die with you.â
Whoosh!
Pei Jiao, who had been woken up by a nightmare, suddenly sat up in bed. Sweat drenched her forehead and hair. There was a thin layer of sweat on the side of her face and neck. She panted unevenly. Every frame of the blood-stained wedding dress in her mind seemed to have really happened. It was shocking.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the door. Probably from the nightmare, her nerves were a little weak now. A knock on the door startled her again.
Knock knock knock.
The knock came again.
Pei Jiao took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions that were in a mess from the nightmare. Then, she slowly lifted the blanket and got out of bed to open the door.
The door opened, and the light shone in. She raised a hand to shield her eyes. After a moment, she looked at the person standing outside the door. âWei Yu,â she called softly.
Wei Yu, who was outside the door, walked in. Pei Jiao did not notice and staggered half a step when she moved to the side, almost falling.
Wei Yu reacted quickly and held her waist. He asked in a low voice, âYouâre not awake?â Before Pei Jiao could speak, Wei Yu realized that there was a thin layer of sweat on her neck and face. He immediately frowned. âWhy do you look so pale?â
Pei Jiao was stunned for a moment before saying in a muffled voice, âI had a nightmare.â
âWhat nightmare scares you so much?â he asked.
When he asked what nightmare it was, the scene of Wei Yu raising the knife and stabbing her in her dream appeared in Pei Jiaoâs mind.
Pei Jiao trembled. She moved away from Wei Yu and kept a certain distance.
She shook her head and said, âl forgot what the nightmare was.â
Wei Yu frowned slightly. âForgot?â
Pei Jiao said, âYes, I forgot.â
Wei Yuâs lips twitched. âYou donât seem to have forgotten.â
Pei Jiao did not want to answer this. She turned around and walked towards the bathroom with her head lowered. Wei Yuâs voice came from behind. âIâll
wait for you outside.â
Pei Jiao paused and immediately turned to ask, âWhy are you waiting for me?â
Wei Yu looked at Pei Jiaoâs distracted expression. âArenât you eating breakfast?â
âOhâ¦â Pei Jiao sighed and smiled reluctantly. âThen you might have to wait a little longer. I just woke up and havenât washed up.â
Wei Yu replied, âOkay.â
She went into the bathroom and locked the door. She looked at herself in the mirror and patted her chest. âPhew. Fortunately, itâs just a nightmare. I was scared to death.â She quickly washed her face and checked if the swelling had subsided. Seeing that her mouth had returned to its usual state, she immediately felt much better.
A few minutes later, Pei Jiao followed Wei Yu out. She obediently walked beside him. Although she hadnât said anything along the way, her mind hadnât been idle. She was planning an appropriate time to file an application to leave the base.
She had to hide the entire process from Wei Yu and not let him know. But how could she do it without Wei Yu knowing?
Pei Jiao racked her brains to think of a countermeasure. Especially since she had to leave when Wei Yu had fallen in love with her. Only then could she achieve her perfect revenge. Time must not be wrong. Every step had to be planned in detail. She was thinking so seriously that she didnât notice when Wei Yu stopped. As she walked, she accidentally bumped into him.
She looked up. âWhy arenât you leaving?â
Wei Yu turned around. âYouâre so preoccupied early in the morning. What exactly did you dream of?â
Can I tell you about my dreams? Obviously not! Pei Jiao naturally changed the topic and asked, âDidnât you say last night that you had something to tell me today? You even said to be more formal. What is it?â
Wei Yu reached out to her.
Pei Jiao was stunned. âWhat do you want?â
Wei Yu said, âGive me your hand.â
Pei Jiao hesitated for a moment, then slowly placed her hand in Wei Yuâs. He held it gently and said to her, âIâll take you to meet someone first. Youâll know after you meet them..â
