Chapter 39 Fortunately this is not a dream

Ji Qiuxue felt dizzy and was held tightly in Rong Yuqiu's arms. She felt like she's walking on clouds and couldn't find a foothold. She thought she's dreaming. Ji Qiuxue slowly raised her hands and hugged Rong Yuqiu, who's leaning over her shoulder and crying. Only after she really hugged her did she feel a little at ease.

Ji Qiuxue hugged the woman tightly and put her nose close to Rong Yuqiu's neck, sniffing it. She smelled the familiar scent of fir wood and couldn't help rubbing Rong Yuqiu's face. The woman who was secretly crying was stunned by her action. Rong Yuqiu, with red eyes, secretly looked at the woman with a satisfied look out of the corner of her eye. She froze for a moment, then slowly relaxed.

At night, Rong Yuqiu lay on her side on the hospital bed. Ji Qiuxue stared at her face closely, urging her to close her eyes quickly due to her heavy eyelids, but every time she closed her eyes, she would open them again. Ji Qiuxue was suddenly awakened from her sleep. She opened her eyes again and looked at Rong Yuqiu who's a palm's distance away from her, then closed her eyes again with peace of mind.

She had not slept for long when the sense of crisis in her heart prompted her to open her eyes again, to confirm once again that Rong Yuqiu is really lying next to her. Ji Qiuxue reached out and grabbed the corner of Rong Yuqiu's clothes, listened to her breathing, and fell into sleep again.

Early the next morning, Ji Qiuxue woke up from her sleep. She still remembered the feeling of Rong Yuqiu hugging her in her dream. Ji Qiuxue turned her head to look at the pillow, but there's no one on it. Ji Qiuxue sat up and looked at the clean ward. She lowered her head and looked at her empty palms. She clearly remembered that Rong Yuqiu came to see her last night, and the word "sister" was still echoing in her ears.

It turned out to be a dream. Ji Qiuxue sat on the bed, thinking about the tenderness of last night, tears falling one by one. At this moment, the doorknob suddenly turned. Ji Qiuxue turned her head expectantly and looked at the door. The door of the ward was pushed open, and Su Zimo walked in exhaustion. Ji Qiuxue withdrew her gaze in disappointment, but perked up when she saw Su Zimo. There were still many things to do today, and the first thing is to catch the person who drugged her!

Ji Qiuxue suppressed her emotions and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face. She turned her head to look at Su Zimo and was stunned, "What's wrong?" "Sister, do you know who I saw just now?" Su Zimo rushed to Ji Qiuxue's bed and looked at her with surprise. "Who?" Ji Qiuxue asked with a little anticipation. "The person you think about day and night." Su Zimo said mysteriously in front of Ji Qiuxue. "Really?" Su Zimo nodded vigorously and pointed at the door and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. She even talked to me."

At this time, Rong Yuqiu came in with breakfast. The two sisters looked up at her together, their eyes were burning, especially Ji Qiuxue's, as if she's about to see through her. Rong Yuqiu looked away uncomfortably, her face feeling a little hot and her toes already digging into the ground in her shoes. Ji Qiuxue looked at Rong Yuqiu with eyes that were as clear as ice and snow melting. She covered her mouth in surprise, it's really wasn't a dream. She felt so excited that tears were about to come out.

Su Zimo silently moved herself away to avoid becoming an obstacle blocking the two of them. She thought she was so drunk and saw the wrong person last night. Rong Yuqiu walked up to Ji Qiuxue with breakfast in her hand and asked her in a low voice, "Do you want to eat?" Ji Qiuxue looked up at the person with red earlobes. Rong Yuqiu is a little afraid to face Ji Qiuxue. She had forgotten her for so many years. She felt suffocated and distressed just thinking about it.

Rong Yuqiu lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly with guilt and shyness. She didn't dare to look the person opposite her directly in the eye. Compared with the person who hugged Ji Qiuxue and cried silently last night, she seemed to be a different person. Su Zimo stood up and did not disturb the two of them from looking at each other. She quietly left the door and closed it before leaving.

Rong Yuqiu heard the door being closed gently. She suppressed the heat in her heart and placed breakfast on the table. Ji Qiuxue also lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Neither she nor Rong Yuqiu spoke a word. They just sat there quietly minding their own business. Rong Yuqiu placed the breakfast one by one on the table, while Ji Qiuxue stood in the bathroom and slapped her face hard, then looked through the gap at the person who was bending over and working seriously.

She covered her mouth and laughed softly, and tears came out as she laughed. She had finally waited for this day. The person in front of me has really come back. Ji Qiuxue applied cold water to her red eyes. Listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, Rong Yuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. She sat on the sofa and rubbed her swollen forehead. Her head hurt even more after waking up from a nap last night. She was able to stay awake now thanks to her willpower.

When Ji Qiuxue came out, Rong Yuqiu is leaning on the sofa to rest. She looked at Rong Yuqiu with a frown on her face, as if she has enduring some kind of pain. She felt anxious and walked over quickly. When Rong Yuqiu heard the voice and opened her eyes, she saw Ji Qiuxue's worried face. She felt stunned for a moment before she reacted. She reached out and held Ji Qiuxue's hand, saying softly, "It's okay."

"Are you really okay?" Ji Qiuxue raised her hand and pressed her temples which had turned red. Rong Yuqiu felt the cold fingertips and her heart trembled. She looked at Ji Qiuxue's face, but still couldn't see the familiar side of her. She actually didn't remember much, just some vague memories, more of an emotional sustenance and attachment, and some kind of inexplicable longing.

Ji Qiuxue pressed Rong Yuqiu on the sofa, and her head rested on Ji Qiuxue's lap. Ji Qiuxue lowered her head and gently and appropriately massaged Rong Yuqiu's scalp to slowly relieve her discomfort. Ji Qiuxue looked at her lover who closed her eyes and relaxed her brows. She deliberately released a little bit of pheromone. The coldness and freshness of the first snow after it melted made Rong Yuqiu feel much better. She closed her eyes, relaxed her body and fell asleep again.

Ji Qiuxue looked at her face which had matured a lot and her hair had grown a lot longer. She slowly massaged her scalp with her fingers and felt a healed scar on her scalp. Ji Qiuxue gently lifted her hair with her fingertips and saw a curved wound on her white scalp. Ji Qiuxue's eyes became hot and she quickly turned her head and wiped away the tears before they fell. Much of the hair on the scar failed to grow back, leaving only a white scar across the scalp.
