Chapter 1: Nightmares
The man's eyes were scarlet, his fingers pinched her chin like iron tongs, and the words that overflowed between his lips and teeth seemed to come from hell, imprisoning her in a cold ice cave.
"Lin Yi, do you think you can escape?"
"Wherever you flee, I'll find you."
"In this life, you can only be my person."
……
"Ahh Woke up with a scream, and the blinding incandescent lights on the ceiling caught his eye, and it took a long time for Lin Yi to recover from the aftershocks in the nightmare.
It turned out to be a dream.
wiped his forehead, sure enough, it was already stained with sweat, and the clock on the bedside table pointed to three o'clock in the morning, which was the first time I woke up in the middle of the night.
In the past three years, she has never slept soundly, and even developed a bad habit...... Inability to fall asleep in a dark environment.
Lin Yi turned over and got out of bed, went downstairs to pick up a glass of water, and then came to the balcony, looking at the bustling night scene of London, his mind could not calm down.
Despite being away for three years, she never stopped being afraid, and the man's declaration was like a spell, constantly echoing in her nightmares, as if to remind her of the unbearable past.
"Nightmares again?"
A blanket was draped over her shoulder, accompanied by a warm voice, and even without looking back, she knew who it was.
Wen Yanyu, her college classmate, is also the man who has been by her side for the past three years.
As his name suggests, he is a gentle and humble man, and one she is most grateful for.
"Well, maybe it's because I'm close to returning home, and the chance of nightmares has become more frequent during this time." Lin Yi turned his head and smiled at him, "Sorry for waking you up." ”
"I just happened to go downstairs to drink water, and when I saw you standing on the balcony, I guessed that you must have dreamed about three years ago again." Wen Yanyu stretched out her hand and gently brushed her messy hair, and there was a little more concern in her voice, "You really ...... Still can't let go. ”
"Maybe I'm too scared of him." Lin Yi raised his head to look at the dark night sky, and smiled bitterly, "After all...... That man left an indelible fear in my heart. ”
A trace of distress flashed in Wen Yanyu's eyes, he really wanted to take the girl in front of him into his arms and comfort her now, but he knew that he couldn't cross the line.
She has her principles, and it is precisely because he knows how to maintain the distance between the two that he can be by her side for the past three years.
"Don't worry too much, we'll go back this time to deal with your mother's affairs, and we'll come back immediately, and we won't meet him."
"I hope so."
……
“…… Thank you for flying with City A Airlines! See you next time! ”
Wen Yanyu came back after taking her luggage, and saw Lin Yi standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window from a distance, and immediately couldn't help laughing, deliberately slowed down her pace and stepped forward, patting Lin Yi's shoulder.
"Ahh Lin Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered the brim of his hat, and when he turned back to Wen Yanyu's smiling eyes, he realized that he had been tricked, "It's like this, you are still joking with me." ”
Wen Yanyu smiled, "It's because you're too nervous, it's rare to come back, take it easy, City A is so big, even if you want to meet him, it's not so simple." ”
