Ye Zhen'an stared blankly at the hand that Yu Xiang'an extended. His head was dazed and he was a little confused.

He didn't know why this exquisite young man whom he didn't know suddenly called him senior brother.

But he doesn't seem like a bad guy.

So he reached out his hand as if possessed by a ghost and held Yu Xiangwan's hand which was still in mid-air reaching out to him.

The two looked at each other, and the noise from the outside world seemed not to belong to them.

The room is quiet, and they only have each other in their eyes.

The moment the hands clasped together, a dazzling white light flashed.

When I woke up, Yu Xiangwan was already lying in bed.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Ye Zhenan's clear eyes looking at him. Ye Zhenan woke up before him.

Yu Xiangwan smiled lightly when he saw Ye Zhen'an wake up.

"Brother, you're awake."

Ye Zhen'an thought about this dream that was different from the others, lowered his eyes and responded softly.

"Ah."

Yu Xiangwan thought of the two people still in the room, then he sat up and looked at Jun Che and Jing Qiyue beside him.

"Thank you, fellow Taoists. What time is it now?"

Although Jing Qiyue had a dull expression, he was very happy to see Yu Xiangwan and Ye Zhenan wake up.

When Yu Xiangwan's soul entered another body, she forgot to remind him that everything in the past could not be touched, and only when the original body was touched could intervention be made to wake up the person he wanted to wake up.

Her conscience felt a little bit of condemnation from herself for this, so her tone was not as bad as it had been at the beginning.

"It's only been an hour since you fell asleep, don't worry."

Jun Che listened to Jing Qiyue's words and nodded in agreement, then spoke with a smile.

"Yeah, you should be tired, go to bed early."

Only after Jun Che and Jing Qiyue left did Yu Xiangwan finally have the time to stop and think about everything that had happened in the past hour.

He lay quietly on the side of the bed, with his eyes open and blank.

I didn't expect that I had stayed in Ye Zhen'an's past for twelve years, while only one hour had passed in the outside world.

Does Ye Zhen'an spend more than ten years in a dream with the mentality of a child every year on his birthday?

"Thank you, Changning."

Listening to the soft voice beside his ear, Yu Xiangwan tilted his head. He knew that Ye Zhenan would remember the content of his dream every time he woke up, so it was not surprising.

"You are my senior brother, this is what I should do."

Then he thought of something and turned sideways to look at Ye Zhen'an.

"Brother, do you still remember how you got your name?"

When Ye Zhen'an suddenly heard Yu Xiang'an ask this, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he seemed not to want to mention it, but he still said it.

"My mother took it at random."

"But doesn't the word 'Zhuangan' mean a pillow that is firm and quilt that is warm, a blessing in spring and a peace in summer?"

This should be the greatest hope of a poor and hungry mortal for his child's remaining life, right?

Yu Xiangwan gently guided Ye Zhen'an.

"Have you ever thought that if your mother didn't love you, why would she choose such a hopeful name for you?"

Ye Zhen'an was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he immediately understood what Yu Xiang'an meant. He said in a hoarse voice, in disbelief.

"You...you mean..."

"Brother, I learned everything from your dream, starting from when your mother was pregnant with you."

"Although there are demons predicting your fate, your father and mother love you very much."

"They protected you until the very end."

"Your father asked someone to give you this name."

"The word 'Zhuangan' is full of your parents' love and expectations for you."

As Yu Xiangwan spoke, he extended his index finger and lightly touched Ye Zhenan's brow, extracting the fragments about Ye Zhenan's parents from his past and sending them into his sea of ​​consciousness.

After reading it, Ye Zhen'an was shocked. He always thought that he was abandoned and hated by his parents, but just to keep him alive, his parents' lives were exhausted.

Tears gradually filled my eyes unconsciously.

When was the last time your eyes felt wet?

It seems like a long, long time.

When he was three years old, he watched his sister Erniu being burned to ashes by fire. After that, he never cried again no matter what happened.

Because he knew tears couldn't solve any problems.

Seeing this, Yu Xiangwan gently stepped forward and hugged Ye Zhenan, stroking his back to comfort him silently.

"But, Changning, my parents didn't even have the chance to say a word to me..."

"If it weren't for you, I would never have known in this life that my birth was also expected..."

Yu Xiangwan listened quietly to Ye Zhen'an's muffled and hoarse voice.

"Brother, do you still remember the talisman paper you often held when you were a child?"

Ye Zhenan said sullenly, "Yeah."

He remembered, he remembered the words written on it, he remembered that he would not die if he held on to the wrinkled yellow paper when he was beaten.

Now thinking about it, it turned out that the name written on the talisman paper was his, a name that was expected, and it was the him who was once expected.

"That talisman is a life-giving talisman. I don't know how your father obtained it, but it has inadvertently protected you countless times."

"That talisman paper represents your father's deep love for you. Although they are gone, their love for you will always be there."

"Didn't you say your parents didn't have time to leave you a message?"

"Actually, they left it for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen'an looked up at him, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Yu Xiangwan rarely saw Ye Zhen'an like this, so he spoke softly.

"Pillow and safe, pillow and safe, your name is the words they left for you."

Ever since he accompanied little Ye Zhen'an as he grew up, he always felt a little sorry for him.

In a sense, Ye Zhen'an grew up under his care.

"Changning, in my dream, were you always by my side?"

"Ah."

"Brother, I have been with you growing up in my dreams."

Although you in the dream don’t know of my existence.

What he didn't say was that after he took Ye Zhen'an away from Cuixiang Tower, he returned to his out-of-body state.

He saw Ye Zhen'an flip over the longevity noodles he made for him, stagger back to the house, lock himself up, and then fall into a coma again.

He saw Ye Zhen'an wake up in the middle of the night and rush out of the house in the cold wind and run to the attic.

He saw Ye Zhen'an hesitating in front of his door, but he never had the courage to knock and go in.

This went on for several days.

He noticed the young man's desolate figure standing in the cold wind, and he also knew his hesitation.

But at that time, Yu Xiangwan just wanted to keep his distance from him, so he always avoided him unconsciously.

It was not until the sect selection was approaching that Ye Zhen'an finally mustered up the courage to speak to him.

But he didn't listen to Ye Zhen'an's explanation.

At that time, he didn't know that Ye Zhen'an was reminiscing about the past and his thoughts and behavior were out of control. He just thought that Ye Zhen'an was taking her anger out on him and was angry at him. So no matter how they got along in the future, he always had a grudge about what happened that day.

He always knew he wouldn't forgive him on behalf of his eleven-year-old self.

Yu Xiangwan thought of what he had seen of Ye Zhenan in his past. He often stared at the attic unconsciously, with hesitant and complicated emotions in his eyes.

Perhaps the harsh words he said on his birthday had drained all his strength and courage, so that every time he saw Yu Xiangwan thereafter, he would unconsciously step back and dodge.

I guess he doesn't know that everything that happened before the poison took effect was not what he wanted?

In fact, Yu Xiangwan had already let it go when he saw Ye Zhen'an's hesitant figure in his past.

He was a victim in that incident, and so was Ye Zhenan.

So don’t blame him, and don’t blame Ye Zhen’an either.

If anyone is to be blamed, it's the person behind the scenes who gave Ye Zhenan's mother memories of the past. Everything started because of him.

Ye Zhen'an had no idea what Yu Xiang'an was thinking. It was only at this moment that he mustered up the courage to bring up the unpleasantness of that night again.

"Changning, I actually never had the chance to tell you."

Ye Zhen'an spoke carefully, his eyes lowered, not daring to look at Yu Xiang'an. His fingers curled subconsciously, and his voice was hoarse.

"When I first arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, you celebrated my birthday. I didn't mean to..."

It was he who failed to control himself, it was he who let Yu Xiangwan down, and it was the words he uttered that hurt Yu Xiangwan.

But at that time he could hardly suppress his emotions, he was too afraid that Yu Xiangwan would get hurt.

He didn't want to hurt Yu Xiangwan. Only if he said that at that time would Yu Xiangwan ignore him and let him leave. As long as they were separated, he would not hurt Yu Xiangwan because he couldn't control himself.

However, he acknowledged the harm he had caused to Yu Xiangwan. Even after so many years, he still felt suffocated by guilt whenever he thought of it.

He knew that Yu Xiangwan had been avoiding him and had never forgiven him.

He didn't ask for forgiveness, he just wanted Yu Xiangwan to stop resisting him so much.
