It was not early, and Du Bai quickly flew back to Su Mansion, but before flying back to his courtyard, his heart suddenly changed direction and flew towards Su Wanmiao's room.

Passing through the wall without any barrier, he floated into the room, and with the help of this ghost body, he could see Su Wanmiao lying on the bed at a glance.

Just looking at the frowning brow on her face, it doesn't look like a dream.

"Do you have a nightmare......

Du Bai whispered to himself, slowly stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

The perspective in front of me was distorted as if the world was turning upside down, and the light seemed to be recasting, and it took a long time for it to spread out again in front of me......

Regaining his gaze, he first looked around.

It seems to be a dark bookstore, and it seems that you can smell the unique antique smell of books when you move your nose.

There are tall bookshelves on the left and right, displaying heavy classics like copper walls, and the half-opened windows in front of them shine through the sparse light, but there is no wind blowing.

It's like a closed cage, trapping the people inside, even breathing is so sluggish, and the dull and depressed mood seems to spread infinitely in the air, and every movement or look will be affected.

Apart from the negligible window, there was only one light source in this small room, and that was a small old bronze lampstand in the corner, on which a tiny white candle was inserted, which had burned nearly halfway, and brought a faint dim light to the place.

And next to the lampstand was a small desk for children to read, but on it were thick bound books and all kinds of books that needed to be studied, piled up a little messily, some of the books had been broken and half fell to the ground, but no one picked them up, or there was no time to pick them up.

Sitting kneeling in front of the desk was a well-behaved girl in plain white mourning clothes, about the age of about old, simply combing her hair in a bun, her small cheeks had a little shadow of Su Wanmiao's current appearance, innocent and lovely, and a little stubborn in her bones.

Even in this extremely uncomfortable environment, the girl only pursed her thin lips and stared intently at the open book on the desk, reading and learning word by word, unwilling to stop.

Du Bai looked at the scene in front of him, thoughtful.

"Su Wanmiao when she was a child?"

"Is this her dream......"

He pulled his perspective away from Su Wanmiao, and immediately conjured up a phantom and stood quietly aside.

There was a faint sound outside the window, Du Bai cast his gaze, and saw a few servants and children playing in the courtyard outside, among which there was a little girl who was dressed more luxuriously, and her face should be Su Zhirou when she was young.

This girl has been a heartless temperament since she was a child.

Their play was obviously also heard by Su Wanmiao, who was concentrating on reading, she raised her head and glanced in the direction of the window, as if she intended to move, but finally did not move, but continued to sit down and look at the books in her hand that ordinary adults could not understand.

"Why don't you go out and play together?"

Du Bai slowly approached the table and squatted down to look at the little girl.

Su Wanmiao, who was in a young child's state, raised her head slightly and looked at him a little strangely, as if wondering why a stranger appeared here, and replied obediently, "Because I want to study." ”

The voice is inevitably a little childish, but it is extraordinarily serious.

Then, without waiting for Du Bai to ask, she looked down at the book in her hand again, her white and tender little hands gently rubbed the pages, and on the other hand, she seemed to be talking to herself and as if she was answering him, slowly saying the words hidden in her heart that she had never said to others.

"Grandpa said that my father and mother can no longer protect me and my sister, if I don't study, don't learn these things, and don't become smarter and more powerful, then the bad guys will come to bully us, and our Su family will fall into ruins......"

"I won't have enough to eat and I won't be able to dress warmly...... she said word by word, her voice gradually lowering, "even the things that my father and mother left us will be robbed......"

With the change of her mood, this dream seems to be slowly changing, and a faint cloud mist rises around at some point, and the noise outside has disappeared, replaced by a thunderous roar, and the electric light outside the window flickered, and the thunder seemed to break through the sky and fall to the ground!

"Smack!"

The book let go and landed on the ground.

Du Bai looked down and found that her body was trembling gently with the thunder outside, and her body gradually curled up, like a little milk cat that had left the nest, poor and helpless, in a dark loneliness, she could only snuggle herself to get the only remaining warmth......

"You have to work hard...... Even if I'm just a daughter, I can't be worse than them......" As if to escape, she buried her little head between her legs and whispered, her already small body was a little smaller, and her voice seemed to tremble, "I can't be willful anymore...... If I want to protect my grandfather and sister and this family, I can only rely on my own ......"

"It's really hard, it's so hard......"

"Even if I memorize those articles while eating and sleeping, there will always be mistakes when I memorize them...... I've been thinking about it for a long time, but there are always all kinds of problems......"

"I'm so stupid......"

It's just that at this moment, a warm hand stroked her hair, making her tremble, reminding her of her father's gentle palm. Although the person in front of him was not his father, and that face looked a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it, but she inexplicably had a long-lost attachment to him in her heart, and subconsciously made her willing to believe him.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine...... It's going to get better and better. ”

Du Bai said softly, looking at the girl just after a moment of hesitation, he gently rubbed his palm like a cat, and looked obedient on his little face, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny and helpless.

As the saying goes, dreams are the things that best reflect the true thoughts of a person's heart.

Just like Liu Yiwen's dream before, he was bullied by Liu Jingtai since he was a child, so he dreamed of turning over and trampling Liu Jingtai under his feet!

And Su Wanmiao in front of her is no exception. When she was a child, she experienced the pain of losing her parents, and under the supervision of foreign enemies and strict grandfathers, she had to force herself to learn things that should not have been her study, to learn conversations in the mall, and to abandon the innocence and playful nature of a girl of the same age.

This also made her accustomed to wearing a near-perfect mask displayed in front of others, and hiding her real weak and lonely self deeply, hiding in a corner of her heart that no one can know, and only have the opportunity to show it in dreams that no one will know......
