It was the sixty-year-old Su Zhan, looking extremely down and out, wandering the streets aimlessly like a beggar. Su Jinli's consciousness slowly shifted to the sixty-year-old Su Zhan. She saw that her father's handsome features were still there, but his face was covered in dirt and his eyes were filled with despair and emptiness, expressing that this old man was not normal.

He had a thin body. Everyone around him was wearing thick cotton clothes, but he was only wearing a sweatshirt with holes in it, and the cropped pants on his lower body seemed to be summer style, and he was wearing a pair of sandals.

The pedestrians on the street were shrinking their necks due to the cold wind, but Su Zhan seemed to have lost his perception of the world and just kept walking forward.

A young man bumped into Su Zhan while looking at his phone. Su Zhan stumbled and fell to the ground. The young man spat at Su Zhan in dismay, "Bah! What era is this? Why are there still homeless people on the streets? How disgusting!"

Passersby just glanced at the shriveled old man lying on the ground, barely breathing, and no one cared.

The sense of reality brought back by the stream of consciousness caused Su Jinli's body to twitch, her breathing to become rapid, and her forehead to sweat.

She stretched out a hand, trying to grab her father, but woke up in mid-air.

Lying on the bed, I opened my eyes in the darkness and gasped for a long time, my heart still unable to calm down. I groped for the phone beside my pillow, and somehow found Li Yanchen's number and dialed it.

After the phone rang many times without being answered, Su Jinli gradually calmed down and hung up.

But soon, Li Yanchen called back. He seemed to realize something and asked as soon as the call was connected: "Did you have a nightmare?"

Su Jinli listened to the phone, turned over, and saw the lights in the yard through the gap in the curtains. She felt a little more at ease. Fortunately, nothing had happened yet. She breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Yes."

The man asked, "Do you want me to come over?"

Su Jinli touched the wet mark on her forehead, swallowed and said, "Okay."

Soon there was a soft knock on the door. The door was not locked, so Li Yanchen pushed it open quietly.

Under the moonlight, Su Jinli sat on the bed with disheveled hair, no longer sleepy. She knew that what had just happened was not just a nightmare, but also a foreshadowing of the ending of the book.

Li Yanchen walked over and put the back of his hand against Su Jinli's forehead, which was wet with sweat. "It's just a dream, don't be afraid," he comforted her.

Yes, for now, it's just a dream.

Li Yanchen's arrival made her feel instantly at ease. At this moment, Su Jinli truly realized the meaning of having a partner.

She let out a long sigh of relief.

"You lie down." Li Yanchen reached out and pulled the quilt over to cover Su Jinli, "I'll sleep on the sofa."

Su Jinli felt warm in her heart. In fact, what touched her was not that we had experienced many storms together, but that you were by her side when she had a nightmare.

She said, "It's okay, go back, or sleep next to me."

The extra-large bed in the bedroom is large enough to accommodate four people.

Li Yanchen was flattered—sleeping next to her?!

But soon, her mind calmed down and she was not impulsive. She had just had a nightmare. If she opened her eyes tomorrow morning and saw Li Yanchen lying beside her, there might be another bloody storm.

"I'd rather sleep on the sofa." Li Yanchen supported Su Jinli's shoulders, letting her lie down. He then covered her with the quilt and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave."

Then he turned around and lay down on the sofa next to him, propping his head with a pillow and covering his body with a small blanket.

Su Jinli couldn't sleep, so she lay down and chatted with Li Yanchen on the sofa.

They chatted about this and that, and the content of the conversation took away the panic and palpitations caused by the dream. Su Jinli fell asleep only when it was almost dawn.

Li Yanchen just closed his eyes for a short while, and when he saw that it was already light outside the window, he quietly got up, went to the bedside, covered Su Jinli with a blanket, and then left quietly.

He closed the door with the gentlest movements, and when he turned around, he saw the maid mopping the floor.

The two looked at each other for two seconds——

Then the servant aunt smiled, and her smile was meaningful, meaning that she understood, and she was an experienced person. It was normal for an unmarried couple to live together, but it was abnormal to have separate rooms, right?

Li Yanchen touched his nose awkwardly, wanting to speak but not wanting to. When he looked up again, his aunt tactfully walked over.

He first went back to his room to take a shower, then went downstairs refreshed to prepare for the live broadcast.

As soon as I got downstairs, I met Su Zhan. Su Zhan had a rare day off, and he had agreed last night to cooperate with Li Yanchen in the live broadcast.

"uncle."

"I heard that you slept in Lili's room last night?" Su Zhan walked over and grabbed Li Yanchen's shoulders.

Li Yanchen was stunned, thinking that the auntie didn't seem to be that quick-witted. It turns out you can't judge a person by their appearance.

"Uncle, it's Lili who's having a nightmare."

"Okay!" Su Zhan slapped Li Yanchen's shoulder fiercely, the force of the palm was not small. "It's a done deal."

"No, uncle, you misunderstood, not yet..."

Su Zhan turned and walked towards the kitchen, laughing and saying, "I mean, I've already made the rice a fait accompli."

Li Yanchen wiped the sweat from his forehead. Turning his head, he saw the aunt looking at him with a wicked smile.

Su Zhan turned around and said, "You worked hard taking care of Lili last night. Wait, uncle will make you breakfast."

Li Yanchen sat back on the sofa, always feeling something was wrong.

It was not until the crew of "Hundred Occupations" arrived and the live broadcast began that Li Yanchen's mood calmed down a little. The first scene of the live broadcast was in the restaurant.

Su Zhan came over with two beautiful plates in his hands, put a breakfast at one end of the dining table, and asked Li Yanchen to come and eat.

Li Yanchen walked to the dining table, looked down, and was shocked.

On the plate was a cartoon children's meal, which was made by frying eggs into the shape of the sun, broccoli into a small tree, and sausages into the shape of squids. It was a meal specially designed to coax children to eat.

"When you looked at Lili's childhood photos yesterday, didn't you say you never had such a lovely meal when you were little?" Su Zhan said to Li Yanchen, "Uncle will satisfy you today."

Li Yanchen was deeply moved, his excitement was beyond words, "Uncle, I...I!"

"Come sit down! Try it and see how it tastes." Su Zhan sat down opposite Li Yanchen.

As soon as the show started today, the barrage of comments was full of shouts: The mama's boy-in-law is finally being favored.

Li Yanchen held the plate with both hands in surprise. How could he bear to eat such a beautiful children's meal? The corners of his mouth curled up in surprise, "Uncle, you have such a skillful hand."

"It seems that you, Yanchen, were very well behaved when you were little. You didn't even need your parents to coax you to eat. Lili would often throw tantrums and refuse to eat when she was little. She was also very thin, so I could only use this trick to coax her and get her to eat more."

Li Yanchen smiled: "When I was a kid, I also didn't like to eat. My dad always used the same method to make me eat obediently, and it always worked."

Su Zhan was curious: "What method?"

Li Yanchen: "Dip the whip in cold water."
