Chapter 180 - 180: Nightmare
To bury the hatchet? He was dreaming!
What did he mean? What was the meaning of this? Agree or disagree? Ji Ying stared at Ji Jing’s cold figure as she turned around, her thoughts drifting away.
On the same cloudy afternoon, someone broke the ice and someone had a nightmare.
Ji Hui had also returned to the Ji family today. He passed by a newly opened dessert shop and bought some new products for Ji Yao.
“Yaoyao?” Ji Hui pushed open the door to the study. The butler said that Ji Yao would be in the study this afternoon.
The thunder outside the window was incessant. Rainy weather was a very suitable environment for sleeping. Ji Yao seemed to have fallen asleep on the rocking chair while reading.
Ji Hui placed the desserts on the small coffee table. The study room was very air-conditioned. He took a blanket from the side and prepared to cover Ji Yao.
However, just as Ji Hui approached Ji Yao, he realized that she was sweating profusely, as if she had fallen into a nightmare.
“Don’t…Don’t…” Ji Yao subconsciously shook her head as she spoke. “Yaoyao?” Ji Hui called out twice, but Ji Yao still did not wake up.
“Don’t abandon me…Don’t abandon me.”
“We are friends, friends…” Ji Yao mumbled intermittently.
“Yaoyao, what’s wrong? Wake up.” Ji Hui frowned when he heard that. What was Ji Yao dreaming about? Why was she so anxious?
“Brother! Brother, save me!” Ji Yao was sinking deeper and deeper into her dream when she suddenly shouted.
“I’m here, Third Brother is here! Yaoyao, wake up. What’s wrong?” Ji Hui used some strength to shake Ji Yao’s shoulders.
“Ah!” Ji Yao suddenly woke up from her dream. Large drops of tears rolled down from her eyes. The moment she saw the person in front of her, she threw herself into Ji Hui’s arms.” Brother! Third Brother!”
“What’s wrong? Brother is here.” Ji Hui’s heart ached so much that he softened his voice and asked.
“Third brother, I’m so scared. I’m so scared that you don’t want me anymore…”
Ji Yao’s tears flowed non-stop, wetting Ji Hui’s shirt.” I’m so scared, Third Brother. I’m so scared.”
“Don’t be afraid, how could Third Brother not want you?”Ji Hui coaxed her.
“But…Ji Jing…l’m scared, third brother, I’m so scared…” Ji Yao was a little incoherent, and even her breathing was a little rushed.” The school has already…’
‘ Don’t worry, speak slowly.” Ji Hui gently stroked her back, but Ji Yao’s breathing became faster and faster.
Ji Hui realized that something was wrong, so he quickly took out the spray from the nearest cabinet and gave it to Ji Yao.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!” After using the spray, Ji Yao finally recovered, but she was still breathing.” I’m sorry for making you worry, Third Brother.”
“What’s there to apologize for?” Ji Hui took a tissue and wiped the sweat off Ji Yao’s forehead.
He watched as Ji Yao’s breathing gradually slowed down before asking, “”What nightmare did you have just now? What are you afraid of?”
Ji Yao seemed to have woken up. She wanted to say something but stopped. Her pale face forced a smile.” It’s nothing, Third Brother.” The nightmares were all fake. I don’t remember them either.”
Ji Hui’s eyes were filled with heartache. Although Ji Yao didn’t say it, he already had a judgment in his heart.
“Are you afraid of school? Ji Hui’s eyes darkened.” Or are you afraid that Ji Jing is in the same school as you?”
Ji Jing’s appearance, which was inherited from the Ji family, couldn’t fool anyone. She even had the same surname as Ji Yao.
There were many rich kids in Linjiang High School. Even if Ji Jing’s identity had not been officially announced, there would definitely be many people who would compare Ji Jing and Ji Yao in the future.
Ji Yao’s fear was one of the reasons why Ji Hui had stopped Ji Jing from attending Linjiang High School.
“No, third brother…Don’t say anymore.” Ji Yao’s eyes were red from crying just now, and she helplessly begged Ji Hui not to say anything.
She said “nothing”, but her eyes clearly said “something”.
“Alright, third brother won’t say. Come and take a look at what I brought for you. It’s a new flavor. Try it.”Ji Hui agreed to Ji Yao’s plea, but he secretly made a decision in his heart.
Yaoyao was so scared. He had to do something.
He couldn’t change Ji Ming’s decision, but what if Ji Jing voluntarily gave up on school? If he could make Ji Jing give up willingly, then even Ji Ming wouldn’t be able to criticize him..
