Late at night, Qiao Nian was trapped in a nightmare and couldn't wake up, she clutched the quilt in her hand tightly, trying to wake up herself.

"Don't ......," she said in a daze, "Please, don't hurt him......"

This one he ...... Who is it?

Li Yao didn't fall asleep.

He had a lot of things to say to Qiao Nian, but she was so tired that she quickly fell asleep in his arms, and Li Yao leaned over and half-hugged her in his arms, looking down at the documents in his hand.

If, as I said at the beginning, I came to see her after finishing my work, I don't know if she would sit alone on the terrace all day.

With her for so long, Qiao Nian rarely dreamed, maybe there were, but she never told him.

As for nightmares......

Li Yao looked down at Qiao Nian, whose eyebrows were deeply locked, and then leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, whispering her name: "Nian Nian......"

He was afraid of scaring her, and he didn't dare to wake her up, so he could only comfort her slowly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Qiao Nian seemed to hear his voice, grabbed his hand, and clenched it tightly: "Is it okay for you to leave me......?"

"Nian Nian ......" Li Yao's eyebrows twisted slightly, and there was a little impatience in his voice.

Think about it day and dream night night.

How much did she want to leave him?

Li Yao stared at her for a while, and patted her back gently with his wide palm, slowly comforting her, hoping that she would wake up from the nightmare.

However, I don't know if she can sleep peacefully when she wakes up and sees him there.

Qiao Nian felt as if she had fallen into an endless black hole, and she struggled to grab something that she could lean on.

A pair of hands stretched out from the suffocating darkness, and a warm face.

She had a brief stay, but eventually missed it.

In the end, it seemed that a pair of hands had supported her sinking body, but in the end, that hand, that person, gradually fell and sank like her.

A long, seemingly never-ending feeling of weightlessness......

If the fall was the predetermined end given to her by God, shouldn't she involve anyone?

Will you leave me......

Leave me......

However, he just looked at her and smiled, approached, approached her, and hugged her in his arms......

"Ahh

She woke up from the nightmare unexpectedly, but the moment she opened her eyes and saw Li Yao, her emotions collapsed, and at this moment, Qiao Nian curled up like a wounded little beast, her arms hugged her knees tightly, and her head buried deep in the crook of her arms.

Li Yao reached out and pulled her into his arms, he could clearly feel the stiffness and resistance in her body, but he could only turn a blind eye.

You can't just leave her alone, right?

He thought, probably, he would never be able to turn a blind eye to her again.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Li Yao gently patted her on the back and whispered, "It's just a very bad dream, as long as you wake up, it's fine." ”

"Li Yao......"

Since Ji Bei's engagement banquet with Qiao Yan, Qiao Nian has rarely taken the initiative to talk to him.

"Huh?"

He kept his voice as soft and gentle as he could.

"I'm so scared of ......"

"Afraid of what?"

Qiao Nian gritted his teeth and restrained the tremor in his voice, for a long time, his voice was stiff and hoarse: "I hurt Ji Bei and Qiao Yan, I can't, I will hurt you again......"

Li Yao's hand paused slightly, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "Then don't leave me, so that you won't hurt me." ”

He said it lightly, but Qiao Nian's hand on his shoulder was fierce.

Her strength was not heavy, but her nails suddenly pierced her skin, and the pain came a little unexpectedly.

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then kissed the soft hair on the top of her head, and said slowly: "I'm not Ji Bei, let alone Qiao Yan, I can protect you, believe me, okay?" ”

"I'm talking about me, hurting Ji Bei and Qiao Yan, it's no one else, it's me!"

She looked up at Li Yao and repeated word by word.

Li Yao looked at her and was silent for a while before he smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

It's your words, and that's okay.

Qiao Nian closed her eyes in despair, she didn't even dare to look at Li Yao's eyes.

Li Yao held Qiao Nian in his arms again, buried his chin deep in her neck socket, and after a while, he said in a slow voice: "I can't take care of myself, and you still take care of me?" It's not your style to miss one or the other. ”

Or, "Am I more important than yourself?" ”

He hoped so.

Because in his heart, Qiao Nian is just as important.

And between them, there is a need for this balance.

However, Qiao Nian did not answer him.

After all, she had never cared about these things.

Whoever is better to whom and who is less giving, she has nothing to be unbalanced.

Habitual checks and balances, the end result, only imbalance.

…………

The next day.

Qiao Nian slept unsteadily at night, and Li Yao was not spared, but she was there, and the rest didn't matter.

She was still sleeping, Li Yao got up early to make breakfast, and when it was almost ready, Qiao Nian also woke up.

This villa is just a very ordinary villa area, not as good as Li Yao's private villa area in the imperial capital, but when he came down from upstairs and saw Li Yao preparing breakfast in the kitchen, for a moment, Qiao Nian felt that he had returned to the imperial capital villa.

Well, it's like nothing happened.

But how could nothing have happened?

It's just that Li Yao is a smart person in his own mouth, and he will never do things that will hurt him, or rather, he doesn't want to remember them at all.

However, not everyone can be like him.

Qiao Nian stood at the top of the stairs and looked at her, suddenly remembering the dream she had last night, in the dream, the last face that looked at her and smiled became fragmented.

It's not Ji Bei, it's not Li Yao, it's not Mo Sheng.

It was a face that looked extremely familiar, as if it was relative to each other every day, but there was no softness and connivance in him, and there was no unscrupulous means in him.

Qiao Nian felt that the expression on that face, even if he didn't smile when he tensed his face, was warm.

He had looked forward to it, but in the end, that face full of hope was left behind by her.

It was so long, so long that she couldn't even remember his face.

Therefore, in the dream, she would feel that the face was similar to Li Yao, and there was no reason.

Li Yao raised her hand to look at the time, and felt that it was time for her to wake up.

Even if she hasn't woken up yet, even if she's tired, you can't let her sleep that long.

Turned around and walked out of the kitchen, looking up to meet Qiao Nian's gaze staring at him.

Li Yao hesitated for a moment, but after a while, he also came back to his senses and walked towards her with his slender legs.

However, when he walked up to her, Qiao Nian also came down the stairs.

During this time, she also spent a long and not short vacation, but she never went anywhere except in the room.

She was wearing home clothes, loose and baggy, just for comfort, her hair was tied at the back of her head, looking gentle and tranquil.

The corners of Li Yao's mouth raised, and then, he smiled casually: "Let's eat something." ”

Qiao Nian was indeed a little hungry, so he didn't refuse.

Let Li Yao lead her to the restaurant to sit down, watching him bring the breakfast that had been made, his eyes fell on the bowl of porridge in his hand, for a while, and said slowly: "When will we go back." ”

Li Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he heard her say this, he quietly hooked his lips and smiled, and then handed the spoon and chopsticks in his hand to her: "Go back after breakfast," Then, raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled softly: "Okay?" ”

In his words, to Qiao Nian, he was accommodating all the time.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath, licked his lips, and finally, nodded with a smile and agreed: "Okay." ”

Good.

Li Yao smiled with satisfaction, put a refreshing appetizing side dish with chopsticks into her spoon, and looked at her with doting eyes: "Then hurry up and eat." ”

He turned his head to look in the direction of the terrace, breathed a sigh of relief quietly, then turned his head to look at Qiao Nian, and said meaningfully: "This place is indeed quite suitable for vacation." ”

As he spoke, his eyebrows raised slightly: "When I am free in the future, I will accompany you to live for a while." ”

"No need." Qiao Nian almost didn't want to refuse.

The corners of Li Yao's mouth lifted slightly, contemplative and stubborn: "Then will you come with me?" ”

Qiao Nian looked up at him, a cold flashed in his eyes, but he soon disappeared without a trace: "Do you really want to come over?" ”

"I don't want to." Li Yao replied without any hesitation.

Qiao Nian couldn't help but sneer: "Then why do you have to ask?" ”

"Niannian, I'm a man, you have to let me take my breath, right?" Obviously, Li Yao has nothing to hide.

Qiao Nian pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly.

Yes, he's not just a man, he's a very smart man.

He knows when to care and when not to care.

He said she believed him.

So, he never cared about those things anymore.

However, he should also be careful.

It seems that a man can't tolerate his wife colluding with other men to run away from him, and the so-called belief is not to suspect that she has any infidelity to him.

It's because she wants to run away from him, and she's going to conspire with another man, and she's angry.

So, it should be.

Sarcasm or warning, it's all as it should be.

Qiao Nian tugged at the corners of his lips and smiled silently: "Whatever you want." ”

Li Yao was finally satisfied.

Qiao Nian didn't say anything, bowed his head and ate his own.

During this time, she could not be described as exhausted.

Li Yao's mobile phone was kept at hand, and the ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly remembered, and Qiao Nian was startled.

He looked at her and smiled, even with some schadenfreude.

Qiao Nian tugged at the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and didn't say anything.

Li Yao picked up his phone and looked at it, Xiao Li's two words were something he didn't expect.

What happened during this time, there are many people who will look for him, and there are many people who will find Qiao Nian through him, obviously, Xiao Li is not one of them.

connected, and before he could say anything, he said directly: "Mr. Li, I heard that Miss Qiao Nian has found it?" ”
