Last night, Xu Nianhua hid in her room and cried all night. She wasn’t impulsive, but she did something to the blood she had d. She wanted Gu Mingzhu to be disappointed, she wanted the Gu family’s most cherished Gu Mingzhu to not survive.
A raging fire, the flames fiercely rushing at one’s face as if to bake someone into a dry husk.
"Do you think Gu Mingzhu really can survive?"
Xu Nianhua leapt, plunging into the sea of fire.
The scorching flames burnt her painfully, drenched in cold sweat, she instantly opened her eyes.
Xu Nianhua opened her eyes, those pitch-black eyes moving around, with a feeling of not knowing what year or month it was now.
Xu Nianhua’s heart was still beating violently; she stared blankly for a long time before she realized this was her aunt’s house.
"Nianhua, did you have a nightmare?" Deng Juan heard the sound, pushed the door open, and seeing her pale face and the beads of sweat on her forehead, hurriedly said, "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine," Xu Nianhua shook her head and said, "I had a nightmare and it scared me awake, thank you for your concern, Aunt."
Xu Nianhua took a deep breath and slowly calmed her emotions.
"Don’t be scared, it was just a bad dream, all of that is not real," Deng Juan said, looking at her and feeling reassured, she went out to respond to Ji Xinghua.
Xu Nianhua looked down at her well-maintained hands, thinking: She certainly won’t let the nightmare happen again.
"Grandpa, I... want to go back," Xu Nianhua especially wanted to go home to see her dad and mom, as well as her elder and second brothers.
"It’s time to go back."
Ji Xinghua was reluctant to let her go, but he also knew that Xu Nianhua had spent such a long time with him, an old man; it was indeed time for her to return.
That very afternoon, Xu Nianhua took a ride back home.
When she arrived at the county, it was already past five in the evening. She ran all the way to the food factory and when she saw Ji Ying washing bottles in the courtyard, her eyes instantly reddened, and she sprinted forward, throwing herself into Ji Ying’s arms.
Thank goodness, it was just a dream.
"Nianhua is back?" Ji Ying, surprised, looked at Xu Nianhua, feeling the tight embrace and the pinch of pain, she said with a smile, "What’s this? After not seeing each other for so long, you’ve started to act spoiled?"
"I am your daughter, what’s wrong with a daughter being affectionate with her mother?" After calming her emotions, Xu Nianhua smiled and said, "Mom, I’ve missed you all so much. Where’s dad? Is he in the factory?"
"Where else could he be but in the factory? The factory is very busy now; the delivery date is approaching, and your dad has been delayed for so many days. These days, he must catch up on the work he fell behind on." Ji Ying answered with a smile, then asked, "How is your grandfather?"
"Grandfather is doing well, his recovery is also very good. He can now walk on his own, and his wound has healed nicely," Xu Nianhua replied in a rush, answering all the questions Ji Ying was about to ask, and added, "What about elder brother and second brother?"
Xu Nianhua couldn’t wait to see them all.
"We will all have dinner together tonight. You have been sitting on the bus for so long, take a seat and rest for a while."
Ji Ying looked at her, as if she hadn’t seen her for a long time and couldn’t help but smile; she was still such a child. Not seeing her for barely half a month and she missed home this much, what would happen when she went to Ningbei University and only returned home once every half year?
Ji Ying looked at her worriedly.
Xu Nianhua immediately said, "Second brother and I are both in Ningbei, so we can look out for each other."
"Yes, yes, you’re both smart for enrolling in schools in the same place, but surely the schools aren’t right next to each other, are they?"
