Su Yue frowned at Jiao Chen . “It’s deserted everywhere . Where are we going for supper?”
“Just follow me,” Jiao Chen replied, and he raised his eyebrows in amusement . “Are you afraid that I will sell you away?”
Su Yue grinned cheekily . “You won’t . ”
She opened the door once more and got down .
Jiao Chen followed suit and held his car keys and phone in his hands .
They rounded the car and walked in the direction of the mall .
The winds were piercingly cold .
“Can’t you just reveal a little about where we are going to?” Su Yue grinned at Jiao Chen .
It was so quiet on Chinese New Year’s Eve . There wasn’t anyone around, so who would set up a stall here?
Jiao Chen decided not to keep her in suspense . “Didn’t you come here before?”
Did she come here before? Su Yue pondered for a second before asking, “Your sister’s stall?”
Jiao Chen merely smiled in response .
It perplexed Su Yue . “Wasn’t your sister’s stall inside the mall?”
They walked in unison .
Jiao Chen made a turn when they got near the shopping mall . Su Yue obediently followed him .
Suddenly, a bright beam of light shone at them .
A crease appeared in between Jiao Chen’s eyebrows and he reacted instantly . “Susu!”
Su Yue only heard Jiao Chen’s voice and by the time she reacted, he seemed to have dashed behind her at lightning speed . He put his arms around her to protect her .
The next second, they were flung two meters away .
The black car sped off in a heartbeat .
They collapsed on the ground . Su Yue laid on top of Jiao Chen when they landed . Her eyes were huge with shock and terror .
Her heart had stopped .
“Jiaojiao!” Su Yue bounced off Jiao Chen in a split second .
She grabbed Jiao Chen’s arm and shook him furiously . “Jiaojiao…”
He was lying there, motionless, and unresponsive .
Something warm was flowing towards her knees and Su Yue looked down . She smeared it with her fingers and…
It horrified her!
“Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao!” She nudged, shouted, pushed and yelled…
But he remained unconscious . She sniffed and her tears gushed down . “Jiaojiao, get up now! Wake up!”
Her cries echoed in the field .
But he simply remained motionless .
“Jiaojiao, wake up…” Su Yue cried as she hugged Jiao Chen tightly . She tried to heave him up with all her strength .
She sobbed as she said, “I’ll bring you to the hospital… I’ll bring you to the hospital…”
Jiao Chen’s phone continuously rang .
“Jiao Chen!”
Before Su Yue blacked out, she heard someone calling Jiao Chen . Then she remembered nothing else .
She had no idea how long she had slept . When she woke up, her world seemed to have turned white .
Her eyes wandered around .
“Jiaojiao!”
Suddenly, she shrieked and sat up . She flung the blanket off her .
She walked across the room barefooted .
She was in her own room . She was at home .
So, it was merely a dream . It was just a dream . She had dreamt that she was lighting fireworks with Jiaojiao, and he brought her for supper . She even heard him calling her Susu in her dream .
She was dreaming…
Her hair was in a mess, and she wrenched the door open .
Her footsteps were unsteady that she needed to hold on to the wall . She brushed her hair as she walked .
“Yueyue . You’re awake!”
Su Yue met Mu Li before she reached the landing of the staircase .
