Chapter 598: Chapter 598 Nightmare

When Fu Shinian finished talking with Su Shiyue and returned to the room, Su Mu had already finished washing up, but she wasn’t lying in bed to rest; instead, she was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out at the scenery in a daze. He stood at the doorway for a long time watching her, and Su Mu didn’t notice it at all, nor did she turn around.

Fu Shinian knew her heart was in turmoil, so he didn’t speak, heading straight for the bathroom. When he came out again, Su Mu had already taken a seat on the edge of the bed, and on the nightstand, there was a box of cigarettes. Su Mu also had one in her hand, yet it wasn’t lit.

He walked over and sat down beside her, reaching out to take the cigarette from her hand, and Su Mu smiled faintly:

"I didn’t smoke."

"I didn’t even know we had this kind of thing in the bedroom."

"Which kind of thing?" Su Mu looked at him: "Didn’t you used to enjoy them too? How come you’re so averse to them now? Mr. Fu seems to be getting tired of the old in favor of the new."

Fu Shinian looked at Su Mu with intense eyes:

"That’s for objects; it’s not the same with people."

Su Mu met his gaze and smiled faintly after a few seconds: "Are you saying sweet nothings to me?"

"Yes, I will never tire of you."

Su Mu smiled but didn’t respond to anything. Fu Shinian held her in his arms: "Are you still worried about Qiqi?"

"Yeah, I’m very uneasy, always feeling like something is going to happen."

Actually, Su Mu knew this feeling was quite irrational. Qiqi was just in a room on the same floor; she could see her in less than a minute if she went over. Fu Shinian and Jiang Bei also lived in Gui Ning Residence. All the people she cared for and cherished were right by her side; she shouldn’t have any unease.

But her heart was in chaos, even more so than before she went to see Qiqi, otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought about smoking a cigarette.

But Fu Shinian did not think that Su Mu was just fretting over nothing. The rational Fu Shinian cared about every feeling and emotion of Su Mu’s. He looked into her eyes and asked, "Which part? Talk to me, maybe if we prepare early, we can prevent things from getting too bad."

Su Mu shook her head:

"I can’t really tell."

It was just a feeling.

"Maybe it’s because too much happened today, I’m getting a bit neurotic. Don’t mind me."

Fu Shinian looked at Su Mu for a few seconds, ran through all the possible things that could happen in his mind, and didn’t perceive anything amiss, so he nodded: "Maybe you are just too tired. Get some rest early. Even if something really is about to happen, you need to maintain enough sleep and spirit."

Su Mu shook her head:

"I can’t sleep."

She had already tried to make herself sleep before Fu Shinian came out of the bathroom, but it turned out that she didn’t feel sleepy at all. However, it was already the early morning, and Su Mu didn’t want to keep Fu Shinian up with her, so she got up:

"You go to sleep first, I’m going to check on Qiqi again."

But before Su Mu could take a step, she was pulled back into Fu Shinian’s embrace and pinned down onto the bed before she could react. Su Mu blinked up at the closely looming Fu Shinian:

"What are you going to do?"

"Before I came into the bedroom, I checked on Qiqi again. She’s sleeping peacefully, hasn’t even changed positions, so don’t worry."

Su Mu acknowledged with a sound, but then Fu Shinian applied more force, pressing her down firmly. He bent down to nibble on her earlobe, eliciting a shiver from Su Mu as he spoke softly, "Since we can’t sleep, let’s do some exercise."

Knowing what Fu Shinian wanted, Su Mu reached out to stop him:

"I’m not in the mood today."

"I know."

While he claimed to know, his hands did not cease their movement, and he began to untie Su Mu’s robe, "Precisely because you’re in a bad mood, I want you to divert your attention. Right now, I can’t think of a better way."

"But..."

"Don’t you want me?" Fu Shinian slightly lifted his body, looking at Su Mu with a look of grievance, "Susu, I want you very much."

With a mix of cajoling, hurt feelings, and anticipation, Su Mu found herself unable to refuse, and in the end, he had his way. Yet Fu Shinian was right about one thing: after their intense ’exercise’, she truly had no mood to contemplate other matters and soon fell deep into sleep.

Fu Shinian went to the bathroom to wash a towel to clean her up a bit, then headed for his own shower.

Although he kept telling Su Mu not to worry about Qiqi, he himself could not resist visiting Qiqi’s room one more time before going to bed to ensure she hadn’t woken and everything was alright, then returned to the bedroom, lay in bed, and gathered Su Mu into his embrace.

Su Mu was exhausted, so when Fu Shinian held her, although she felt it, she just slightly adjusted her position and fell back into a deep sleep.

Late into the stillness of the night, Su Mu had a dream. She dreamt that Qiqi left her, saw Qiqi running out of her sight and crying out, saying she never wanted to see her again, never wanted to listen to her speak again, saying she hated her for lying to her... Su Mu chased after Qiqi relentlessly.

She was an adult, and Qiqi was just a three-year-old child; logically, she should have been able to catch up quickly, but she couldn’t run at all and could only watch helplessly as Qiqi disappeared into the mist.

Su Mu woke up at four in the morning, almost reflexively sitting up from bed and heading for the door, waking Fu Shinian, who hastily reached out to hold her, noticing the tear stains on her face, he was instantly alarmed:

"What happened? Had a nightmare?"

Seeing Fu Shinian in front of her seemed to bring back some rationality to Su Mu, and she clasped his hand tightly:

"I’m going to check on Qiqi."

Knowing she must have had a bad dream, Fu Shinian didn’t stop her and took her hand to accompany her. When he noticed that she hadn’t put on her shoes due to her rush, even though Gui Ning Residence maintained a constant temperature year-round and thick carpets were laid in the halls after autumn, there was still a bit of chill. Concerned that Su Mu might catch cold, Fu Shinian went back to fetch her slippers, knelt down to put them on her, and then they walked together to Qiqi’s bedroom.

In Qiqi’s room, Fu Shinian and Su Mu stood by the bed, looking down at the sleeping Qiqi; she seemed to have woken up once, her slippers beside the bed were untidy, and her mobile phone was by her pillow, but she was sleeping peacefully at the moment.

Su Mu’s gaze lingered lovingly on Qiqi’s face as she spoke softly:

"I dreamt that Qiqi didn’t want me anymore, that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t catch up with her. I watched her disappear from my sight, and there was nothing I could do."
