Warm my heart

The anger on the two relatives' faces eased when they saw An Bihuai admit his mistake.

Their figures gradually blurred and finally disappeared in the dream, leaving only a shadow.

An Bihuai woke up from his dream and found himself still inside the door, holding the pill tightly in his hand.

The pain throughout his body felt very real to him, and he realized that the lesson in his dream was not an illusion, but a real warning to his behavior.

An Bihuai took a deep breath and put the pill aside.

Even if these two really die, they will still take care of him.

An Bihuai woke up from his dream with a start, his heart beating faster and pain all over his body.

He saw that he was still holding the pill in his dream, and his eyes widened, unable to believe it was real. The harsh rebuke and warning he had encountered in the dream echoed in his mind, making him think deeply.

He lowered his head and looked carefully at the pill, confirming its existence.

An Bihuai sat up, rubbed his sore shoulders, and tried hard to recall the scolding from his father and grandfather in his dream.

"Could it be... that everything in the dream is real?" An Bihuai murmured to himself, with a hint of fear and confusion on his face.

He couldn't help but wonder whether he really needed to take this pill. Perhaps the warning in the dream was just an awakening from deep within him.

He carefully placed the pill beside the bed, stood up, and tried to calm himself down.

He approached them, lowered his head, and said gently: "Xiu'er, Rong'er, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Lin Xiu and An Lingrong looked up and saw An Bihuai's serious expression, feeling a little uneasy.

An Bihuai sat down and spoke slowly, "I had a dream last night. In the dream, my father and grandfather came to blame me.

They reminded me that I must treat you better than I treat myself, or I will never be able to settle down in my family. I realized that I had to change my attitude and re-evaluate my behavior.

After hearing this, Lin Xiu's eyes flashed with surprise and confusion, but more of it was relief and touching.

She felt the sincerity in An Bihuai's tone, gently held An Lingrong's hand, and signaled her to listen quietly.

An Bihuai continued, “I swear, from now on, I will use practical actions to prove my promise to you.

I will do my best to be a good official who works diligently and cares for the people. I will also care more about you and will not let you suffer any more."

Lin Xiu took a deep breath, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Okay, I believe you."

An Bihuai nodded, his heart filled with firm determination.

Lin Xiu paused for a moment and stopped the work in her hands.

She turned around and looked at An Bihuai with some surprise: "You dreamed of Dad and Grandpa?"

An Bihuai nodded, his expression heavy. "Yes. Not only did they reprimand me, they also made me swear to treat you well and be a diligent and caring official. I'm very confused now. I don't know if this really means some guidance from a superior."

Lin Xiu was slightly stunned, and then a complicated expression appeared on her face.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Xiu asked, with a hint of worry and expectation in her tone.

An Bihuai took a deep breath and said seriously, "I have decided to fulfill my promise seriously from now on.

I will do my best to fulfill my official duties and pay more attention to you and Rong'er. This is not only for the expectations of Dad and Grandpa, but also for our future."

After hearing this, although Lin Xiu still had some doubts in her heart, she also felt a little relieved.

"If you can really do this, I'll be very happy." Lin Xiu said softly, "However, you also need to take action to prove your determination."

An Bihuai nodded and said, "I understand. I will try to change my behavior from now on. Whether it's for you or Rong'er, I will do my best."

At this time, An Lingrong also came out of the kitchen. She saw An Bihuai and Lin Xiu having a serious conversation and seemed a little curious.

She asked cautiously, "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"

Lin Xiu smiled and patted An Lingrong's head. "It's nothing important, just some trivial family matters. Rong'er, what do you want to do today?"

An Lingrong grinned, "Rong'er wants to go to the mountains to pick some flowers and herbs to make some sachets for mother."

Lin Xiu nodded: "Okay, go ahead, be careful not to get lost."

An Bihuai also smiled at An Lingrong and said, "Remember to bring your basket, and don't forget to pick some good flowers and plants."

An Lingrong nodded excitedly: "Got it, Dad, Mom, I'll go right away!"

Seeing An Lingrong leave happily, An Bihuai and Lin Xiu felt a little relieved.

As the morning sun gradually shone into the house, An Bihuai and Lin Xiu's mood began to relax.

An Bihuai looked at An Lingrong with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

He couldn't help but start to imagine that if An Lingrong could really gain beauty with the help of these pills as described in his dream, then they... just thinking about it made him excited.

An Lingrong stood aside with a sweet smile on her face.

An Bihuai took the pill that could increase intelligence with great anticipation.

What he didn't know was that this intelligence pill contained Lin Xiu's blood, and he would only be loyal to her from now on.

At first, he felt a little anxious and even doubted the authenticity of the pill because he did not feel any changes immediately after taking it.

He thought that perhaps reading was necessary to see results, so he picked up a book that he had previously found profound and difficult to understand and began to read it with a try-it attitude.

At first, his eyes scanned the pages quickly, as if a door in his mind was pushed open, and a lot of previously incomprehensible knowledge flooded into his consciousness like a tide.

He was gradually attracted by the contents of the book, as if pieces of puzzle were being put together in his mind, and all the difficult problems became simple and clear.

This unprecedented sense of pleasure made him forget the time and completely immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.

It was not until nightfall that An Bihuai put down the book in his hand and felt a sense of fulfillment he had never felt before.

During the day, only Lin Xiu came to deliver food once, and no one came to disturb him after that.

An Lingrong was also worried. Although she saw that An Bihuai had become much smarter now, she was still worried that he would be dazzled by some sudden good luck like in the past.

She knew that it would take time and patience for him to grow and mature.

The next morning, An Bihuai took Lin Xiu and An Lingrong up the mountain.

Along the way, An Bihuai was in a good mood and readily agreed to all of An Lingrong's requests.

When they were halfway up the mountain, An Lingrong suddenly kicked a rock and something strange appeared beside her. She pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Daddy, what is this?"
