228 Chapter 227, Nightmare

Li Xu agreed after some thought.

With Jingyi accompanying Yuanyuan, the two brothers could also accompany each other, so it didn’t matter if she slept here.

She saw on TV that if the husband and wife slept in separate beds for a long time, it would affect their relationship.

Seeing this, Zhang Kun hugged Li Xu and sighed in satisfaction.

!!

Ji Yuanyuan slept a little unsteadily. In the haze, she seemed to hear someone crying.

The faint sound of crying made Ji Yuanyuan toss and turn uneasily.

She wanted to wake up, but it was as if a pair of hands were holding onto her tightly. She could not wake up no matter how hard she tried.

This feeling of powerlessness made Ji Yuanyuan’s forehead break out in a thin layer of sweat.

She struggled with all her might, and finally, she woke up.

She breathed heavily, and her heart slowly calmed down.

“Mom… Mom…” Ji Yuanyuan heard the voice and turned his head to look.

He saw Yang Jingyi with her eyes closed as if she was in a nightmare.

Her body was covered in sweat as if she had been fished out of the water.

Ji Yuanyuan quickly reached out and patted Yang Jingyi’s face. “Jingyi, wake up…”

After shouting a few times, Yang Jingyi opened her eyes.

She seemed to have no idea where she was at the moment. She stared blankly at Ji Yuanyuan with her wet eyes.

After a moment, she finally came back to her senses and cried out loud.

She held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand. “I want to find my Mother. I dreamt that she was dead. Bring me to her…”

She cried until she was out of breath.

Ji Yuanyuan coaxed her, “The dreams are reversed. Your Mother must be fine. Wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, I’ll ask my Mother to take you to your Mother, okay?”

Yang Jingyi did not listen to her at all. She shook her head frantically and said, “No, I want to find my Mother. Take me there.”

Ji Yuanyuan rubbed her temples with a headache. “But it’s midnight now. Your Mother must be resting. If we go look for her in the middle of the night, she will be worried.”

Yang Jingyi hesitated a little when she heard that. However, she suddenly remembered the terrible dream she had.

No, she had to see her Mother. She had to make sure that her Mother was okay.

“I want to go, I want to go now!” Yang Jingyi cried as she climbed down from the bed. She took her clothes and began to put them on clumsily.

Ji Yuanyuan felt a little helpless when she saw Yang Jingyi’s stubborn look. She quickly got off the bed and put on her coat. “Wait here, I’ll go and look for my Mother!”

She quickly ran to the next room and realized that Li Xu had not come back at all.

She ran to the opposite side and knocked on the door gently.

Fortunately, Zhang Kun’s bedroom was very close to the door. After Ji Yuanyuan knocked for about a minute, Zhang Kun came out.

“What’s wrong? Why don’t you put on your clothes? Are you cold?” Zhang Kun carried Ji Yuanyuan in his arms still sleepy and tucked her into his coat.

“Jingyi had a nightmare. She insisted on going to find her Mother, she insisted on going by herself,” Ji Yuanyuan said anxiously.

Zhang Kun frowned. Seeing that Yang Jingyi had already put on her clothes, he quickly went back to the house and said, “Ah Xu, come over and coax her. The child has already put on her clothes.”

Li Xu was already putting on her clothes. Hearing that, she said, “Hold her back for a while. I’m coming over now.”

Zhang Kun stepped forward to block the stairs. Seeing that Yang Jingyi had come out, he advised her in a low voice, “Good girl. You go back first. We’ll discuss it when your Aunt comes out.”

However, Yang Jingyi did not listen to Zhang Kun’s explanation at all. She only tugged at his leg and said, “Uncle, move aside. I’m going to find my Mother!”

“No, it’s already so late. How are you going to go by yourself? Your Aunt and I will send you there later!”

Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were woken up by the sounds of the quarell. They stood at the door with their eyes half-opened.

Li Xu hurriedly put on her clothes and came over. She hugged Yang Jingyi. “Okay, okay. Auntie will bring you there early tomorrow morning, okay?”

Yang Jingyi felt even more wronged when she saw so many people blocking her way.

She struggled. “Let go of me. Let go of me, Mom…”

She burst into tears, her voice hurting Ji Yuanyuan’s ears.

No matter how Li Xu coaxed her, Yang Jingyi would not stop.

Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun helplessly. “Why don’t you send her over?”

Zhang Kun was also a little helpless. He hugged Ji Yuanyuan and squatted down. He looked at Yang Jingyi and asked, “Then tell Uncle, do you know where your mom is?”

Yang Jingyi lowered her voice when she heard that. She sniffled and nodded. “I know. My Mother is in the inpatient building of the People’s Hospital, on the sixth floor!”

Seeing that Yang Jingyi had clearly said the location, Zhang Kun helplessly handed Ji Yuanyuan to Li Xu and said in a low voice, “You stay at home and watch the children. I’ll send her over!”

Li Xu hesitated for a moment and instructed, “Then take care on the road. Wear more clothes.”

Zhang Kun nodded and discussed with Yang Jingyi, “Then wait for a while. Uncle will go and put on some clothes and shoes. Is that alright?”

Yang Jingyi sobbed and agreed.

Li Xu stood at the door and looked at her. Zhang Kun returned to his room and put on another layer of clothes and cotton shoes. It was the first lunar month and it was night. It was very cold outside.

He put on his scarf and took the keys to his bicycle from the table.

When Zhang Kun came out, Li Xu saw that Yang Jingyi was wearing thin clothes. She went back to find a thick coat from Ji Zixuan and put it on her. She zipped it up carefully. The large coat wrapped her tightly.

Only then did Zhang Kun carry her up and instructed Li Xu, “Go back and lock the door.”

Li Xu nodded. After Zhang Kun went downstairs, she brought the children back to the house.

...

“Alright, go to bed now. You still have school tomorrow!”

Ji Zixuan asked hesitantly, “Mom, is Yang Jingyi… alright?”

Li Xu shook her head. “She’s fine. What could be wrong? She’s still young and probably never left Mom. She misses her Mom.”

She reached out and patted Ji Zixuan’s head. “You’re so much older than her, but if you’re not by my side, you’ll miss me too, right?”

Ji Zixuan nodded thoughtfully.

“That’s enough. Go to sleep.” Li Xu patted her two sons’ heads one by one. Seeing that they had entered the house, she brought Ji Yuanyuan into another bedroom.

She carried Ji Yuanyuan and stood in front of the window.

Downstairs, Zhang Kun placed Yang Jingyi on the seat of the bicycle beam. After looking up at the window, he mounted the bicycle and left with Yang Jingyi.

It was not until Zhang Kun’s figure was gone that Li Xu brought Ji Yuanyuan to lie down on the bed again.

“Were you scared?” Li Xu asked softly.

Yuanyuan was also a child. She did not know what Yang Jingyi had done in the room just now.

...

Ji Yuanyuan shook her head and asked, “Mother, what happened to Yang Jingyi’s Mother? Is she sick?”

She only knew that Yang Jingyi’s Mother was in the hospital, but she did not know why she was in the hospital.

She had a feeling that things were not that simple.
