In the room, the mobile phone rang suddenly.

Duan Zilian woke up, opened his eyes in a daze, stretched out his hand, subconsciously took the mobile phone on the bedside, turned off the mobile phone alarm clock, and then put the mobile phone down and looked at the ceiling blankly.

Looking at the ceiling for a while, he was about to get out of bed, but he heard a low sobbing voice next to him.

Curious, he turned over and saw Xu Ying lying on his bed, although he was still sleeping and did not wake up, he cried, tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes, his nose twitched, and he made a sobbing sound.

Seeing this unexpected scene, Duan Zilian was very surprised, and didn't understand why Xu Ying was crying while sleeping, so he called her up.

"Sakura, wake up, don't cry, get up......"

In Duan Zilian's call, Xu Ying quickly woke up.

"Pity...... Pity! ”

She opened her teary eyes, and when she saw Duan Zilian, she was confused for a moment, and then immediately threw herself into Duan Zilian's arms excitedly, hugged him tightly, and cried loudly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? You okay? Is it a nightmare? It's okay, the dream has woken up, and I'm right next to you. ”

Taken aback by Xu Ying's reaction, Duan Zilian gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.

“…… Pity...... I'm so scared...... I just had another nightmare...... Dream that you are in battle...... Something happened again...... I'm really scared...... I don't want you to die......"

Xu Ying hugged Duan Zilian hard, sobbing and talking intermittently, feeling panicked and uneasy, not wanting to lose Duan Zilian.

"It's okay, it's just a dream, aren't I okay now? You see, here I am. It's okay, take it easy, you can rest assured, I won't die, absolutely not. ”

Duan Zilian comforted her softly.

"But...... But...... I'm really scared that this nightmare will come true...... I don't want to lose you......"

Xu Ying couldn't stop crying, but her mood still didn't stabilize.

Gently patting her on the back, Duan Zilian continued to comfort her.

"It's okay, don't worry so much, you have to have faith in me, I will definitely win the final victory, and when the time comes, we will always be together."

"Hmmm......"

Xu Ying nodded, inhaled the breath on his body vigorously, dispelled the panic and uneasiness in his heart, gradually stopped crying, and his mood slowly calmed down.

However, although her mood had almost stabilized, she still hugged Duan Zi tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear in the next second.

"Pity, I can't just hold you, you hug me too."

Burying her head in Duan Zilian's arms, Xu Ying spoke softly, her voice muffled.

"Hmm."

In response, Duan Zilian raised his hand and gently hugged Xu Ying.

"Hold on."

"So?"

"It's okay to tighten it up and break my waist."

"I'm reluctant, is that enough?"

"Well, that's all."

At Xu Ying's request, Duan Zilian hugged her tightly, and her bodies were completely close together.

In this case, he can only quickly force himself not to think cranky.

Xu Ying closed her eyes and felt the warm breath in her arms, like dark clouds dissipating, the sun shining on the earth, and the depression in her heart gradually dissipated.

The nightmare just now was so real that the moment she woke up, she couldn't tell the difference between the dream and reality, and the sense of despair almost overwhelmed her.

Luckily, it was just a nightmare.

However, she was very worried, afraid that such a nightmare would really play out in reality.

If she could, she really didn't want Duan Zilian to fight, she hoped that Duan Zilian was just an ordinary ordinary person.

But she also knew that it was impossible.

So, she can only force herself not to worry so much all the time.

However, the more she reminds herself not to be cranky, the more anxious she becomes, and she can't help but think about it, so much so that she has nightmares every now and then.

"Pity, I don't want to go home tonight." Holding Duan Zilian hard, suddenly, Xu Ying spoke.

"Huh? Why don't you want to go home? If you don't go home, where are you going? Duan Zi looked at her suspiciously.

"I want to stay with you, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night." Xu Ying stared at him seriously.

"Huh? This ......"

Although Xu Ying's request was very tempting, Duan Zilian was surprised and refused solemnly.

"Isn't that okay? No, it's better for you to go home at night. ”

After all, although they have already dated, Xu Ying is a girl who spends the night at the boy's house, if this matter spreads, will the reputation be gone?

What's more, it is estimated that Qin Qiaoyun and Xu Ying's father will not agree.

"Why not? Last time, I stayed with you for a few days. ”

Raising her head, Xu Yinghu looked at Duan Zilian suspiciously.

"It's not the same as Qingming's time. During the Qingming Dynasty, you only stayed with me for a few days, but now it is different, we are already dating, you spend the night with me, in case this matter spreads, it will affect your reputation. ”

"What's more, Aunt Qiao and your father will definitely not agree."

Duan Zilian patiently explained to her.

"Oh...... That's right, so forget it. ”

Understanding the meaning of Duan Zilian, Xu Ying thought about it, and also felt that her sudden idea was quite inappropriate, and in desperation, she had to dispel the idea of staying overnight tonight.

Duan Zilian comforted: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry so much, so that you won't have nightmares." And, if you have a nightmare, call me as soon as you wake up, or video call me, and I'll get up and answer no matter how late it is. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Ying nodded, moved in his arms, closed her eyes, quietly felt the comfort, and did not speak again.

Seeing this, Duan Zilian stopped talking, and honestly hugged her, eliminating the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart, until she felt almost the same, she took out a hand and looked at her phone.

"It's almost time, I'm going to get up and start my afternoon work."

"So fast?"

Xu Ying opened her eyes, looked at Duan Zilian reluctantly, and did not let go.

"I also think time flies, but I can't help it. If you're still feeling sleepy, just sleep a little longer. Duan Zi smiled helplessly.

"Kiss me, or I won't let you go."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ying's face turned crimson, but she looked at Duan Zilian firmly.

"Uh...... I just woke up and haven't brushed my teeth yet. Duan Zilian hesitated.

"This isn't the first time, do you dislike me?"

Xu Ying's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at him in disbelief.

In this regard, Duan Zilian hurriedly explained: "No, I mean myself, I haven't brushed my teeth yet, and the lunch dish is a little heavy, I'm afraid you will dislike it." ”

"I don't care, do you kiss or not?" Xu Ying looked at him directly.

"Uh...... Ahem, okay then. ”

There was no way to refuse anymore, Duan Zi straightened his face and slowly lowered his head.

……

"Aunt Qiao, Brother Nan, Sister Orange, good afternoon."

It's almost time, Duan Zilian finished washing, changed into work clothes, went to the café downstairs, and after greeting everyone in the store, he went directly to the corner, sat in front of the piano, and prepared to start work.

"Pity, you seem to be very happy, did you encounter something good?"

Seeing that Duan Zi was full of energy, and felt that his spirit was much better than in the morning, Li Nan walked up to him and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just a comfortable nap, and when you come together, the whole person is refreshed."

Duan Zilian shook his head and couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps because of the nightmare, Xu Ying was particularly active this time and pestered him, so that he was almost late.

"Really?"

Li Nanhu looked at him suspiciously and found something strange.

"Pity, your mouth ......"

"What's wrong with my mouth?"

Duan Zi looked at Li Nan suspiciously, a little confused.

"Like...... It's a little swollen, did you eat something very spicy? ”

Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Nan looked at him with a smile.

“…… Swell? ”

Duan Zi was stunned for a moment, frowned, took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera function, looked at the camera, and found that his lips were indeed a little swollen.

“……”

Damn! It's really swollen!

Damn it! It's all her fault!

Duan Zilian only felt crying and laughing in an instant, and he was very embarrassed.

"Ahem...... Brother Nan, after I woke up from a nap, I ate two packets of spicy strips, which are still very spicy, so my lips are a little swollen. ”

He put away his mobile phone and explained to Li Nan casually.

"Well, I know, I know."

Li Nan nodded, showed a meaningful smile, patted Duan Zilian's shoulder, and then turned back to the bar.

Duan Zilian: "......"

Out of intuition, he felt as if Li Nan knew the reason for his swollen mouth.

It's no wonder that Li Nan is seven or eight years older than him, what hasn't happened?

Maybe his reason was used by Li Nan before.

What's more, Li Nan already knew about his relationship with Xu Ying.

Thinking about it like this, Duan Zilian suddenly had only one thought in his heart.

It's embarrassing! Shame on you!

I really want to find a crack in the ground to get into!

Too ashamed, he took out his mobile phone tremblingly, and sent a message to Xu Ying depressedly.

"Duan Zilian: It's all your fault, my lips are swollen!"

At this time, Xu Ying was lying on Duan Zilian's bed, not getting up yet, holding his pillow, looking at his phone idlely.

"Huh? Swollen mouth? ”

Seeing the message sent by Duan Zilian, she was stunned for a moment, hurriedly turned on the camera function of her mobile phone, looked at the camera carefully a few times, and saw that her lips were still fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, looking at the message sent by Duan Zilian, she could imagine that Duan Zilian must have a depressed expression on her face now, so she couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, very happy.

At the same time, she typed on her phone to reply.
