Chapter 68: Chapter 68 This method works best

"Li Tianyao!"

An Yan seized his hand.

"Li Tianyao, wake up, it’s just a dream! Everything will be fine once you’re awake! Li Tianyao..."

An Yan had thought Li Tianyao’s childhood must have been incredibly difficult. However, she never imagined it could have been so hard that his life was constantly in danger.

She thought she understood why Li Tianyao had such strong possessive and controlling desires. A person who could die at any moment would naturally want to control as much as possible, for only then would he feel secure.

"Li Tianyao, wake up!"

Amid her repeated calls, the man on the bed finally opened his eyes. His amber pupils contracted and then quickly regained clarity.

The little girl’s face was full of worry, her eyes deep with fear, seemingly frightened by the scenes in his dream.

He hadn’t expected that in his dream, she was trying so hard to save him! Silly girl. Dreams are the abstract projections of one’s conscious mind within the brain. They can’t be easily changed by external forces, can they?

"Don’t be afraid!"

He raised his hand to caress her face, gently wiping away her tears. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Little girl, I’m fine!"

"You saw me, didn’t you? You saw me in your dream, right?"

Li Tianyao frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "You entered my dream?"

An Yan’s lips turned down in disappointment. "Yeah, I went in. I saw you being chased by dogs, and I saw you thrown into Ice Lake, and then... Li Tianyao, was that a dream, or something that really happened before?"

Li Tianyao did not answer!

Seeing his tacit acknowledgment, An Yan took his hand and said sincerely, "You’re amazing, Li Tianyao, you really are incredible. Such terrible things didn’t defeat you, and nothing will in the future!"

"Do you know why I took a liking to you at first sight at the Lin Family’s place?"

"Apart from your outstanding demeanor and handsome looks, you have an extraordinarily good fate. Wealth is on its way! Surrounded by a purple aura! Disaster turns to fortune!"

Li Tianyao: ...

She was comforting him! Trying to use this method to erase the unhappiness of his childhood from his mind.

An Yan continued, "Li Tianyao, the past should be left behind; the future is what’s connected to us. You must believe that no one will dare to bully you or betray you anymore!"

The young girl’s rosy lips opened and closed.

He knew she was talking, but he didn’t want to listen to what she said. He only wanted...

MMPH!

An Yan’s lips were sealed by his, her voice swallowed up in his mouth.

After kissing her for an unknown length of time, he finally, reluctantly, let her go. There was a hint of flush at the corners of his eyes, and his voice was husky and magnetic as he said, "Little girl, comforting me this way works best!"

An Yan: ...

Although she hadn’t experienced it, what he said seemed to make sense, as it was mentioned in numerous literary works. But she still felt he was taking advantage of her!

Seeing her somewhat conflicted and guarded demeanor, the man sighed helplessly in his heart and released her shoulder. "It’s alright, go to sleep."

It had been hundreds of years since he had met a girl who intrigued him so much! He didn’t want to scare her like this. He also wanted to experience with her what ordinary people spoke of—the feeling of supporting each other and growing old together.

"Go ahead!" He pinched her hand lingeringly. "Goodnight!"

Returning to her own room and lying on the bed, An Yan’s mind was filled with images of him kissing her.

Part of her wondered: since she didn’t dislike his touch, why couldn’t she get along with him? Yet, another part of her thought it wasn’t that she didn’t want to get along with him, but that his possessiveness and control were too strong; he only wanted to keep her as his canary. But her life shouldn’t just be about being someone’s canary. She still had her own things she wanted to do!

Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep. When she opened her eyes again, daylight had already broken.

After washing up, she headed downstairs to the dining room.

It came as a surprise that Li Tianyao’s breakfast wasn’t much different from that of an ordinary person. There was fragrant millet porridge, soft white steamed buns, and a few side dishes.

To make it easier to feed Li Tianyao, she purposely moved her chair closer to his.

Li Tianyao was an easy patient to care for. He could use his left hand, so he held the bowl and drank the porridge himself. As soon as he finished, An Yan hurriedly picked up some side dishes for him with chopsticks.

Li Tianyao glanced over, a slight smile curling his lips, and said, "You don’t have to feed me. You eat."

As he spoke, he put down the bowl of millet porridge and picked up his chopsticks with his left hand.

An Yan looked at his bandaged hand. "I should still feed you. I said I was going to take care of you!"

"Having you come to be with me is already taking good care of me!" The man reached out and tapped her nose.

ERM. An Yan was sure she’d been flirted with again. A sense of guilt involuntarily rose in her heart. This man thought her simply coming over was the best thing possible, but what she actually wanted was to heal him and then peacefully break up with him.

An Yan quickly lowered her head, afraid that her thoughts would be revealed.

"Look up!" The man’s voice was cool.

An Yan’s heart tensed, and she slowly raised her head, unsure of what he was going to do next.

"What are you thinking about? You’ve got rice on your face." Li Tianyao extended his slender, beautiful fingers, pulled out a tissue, and gently wiped her face. "Focus!"

"Oh." An Yan averted her gaze and bowed her head to concentrate on eating.

As she ate, her face turned red.

Had she gotten rice grains on her face, and he had seen them? He didn’t find her messy and even wiped it off for her! She’d never experienced this sort of thing before and didn’t know how to react, so she just kept her head down.

Seeing her with a flushed face and bowed head, almost wanting to bury her face in her bowl, Li Tianyao couldn’t help but want to laugh. "Feeling shy?"

"No!" Shy about what? Am I, An Yan, the kind of person to feel shy? I’m just, uh, fond of eating like this!

Changing the subject, An Yan asked, "Do you have nightmares every night?"

Li Tianyao played along, "Pretty much!"

"Hmm, if it’s every night, it’s probably due to excessive excitation of the cerebral cortex. In that case, I’ll find some time to prepare some calming and sleep-aiding medicine for you to try."

As soon as she turned to serious matters, that strange, awkward feeling disappeared. Now her mind was full of different combinations of medicinal ingredients. It just so happened that when making the Cultivation Pill and the Hair Growth Pill, she had plenty of herbs left over.

After eating, An Yan first went back home to pack her medicinal herbs in her bag, planning to go to the lab at school to prepare them. There, she could use the instruments to accurately measure the dosages.

As she came downstairs with her bag, she saw An Yaoluo coming out of the dining room.

He evidently hadn’t expected An Yan to be home. After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately said, "Yanyan, you eat first. I’ll go start the car, and then I’ll take you to school!"

An Yan shook her head. "I’ve already eaten at Li Tianyao’s house."

"Already eaten, huh? Are you going to school now? Let’s go, I’ll drive you." An Yaoluo moved briskly into the yard and reached out to open the passenger side door of a car.

At the same time, Li Tianyao’s car slowly pulled up in front of the An Family’s house.
