He carefully lifted Liu Yunxi into his arms, holding her against his chest. Liu Ergou had originally planned to give her a good scare, but his movements must have been too forceful, because the soundly sleeping girl suddenly woke up.
Seeing Liu Ergou holding her, Liu Yunxi giggled sleepily. "Hehe, Er Gou… I was just thinking yesterday how much I missed you, and now I'm dreaming about you."
"This is just too wonderful!"
With that, she reached out and pinched his cheek hard. The sensation instantly jolted her out of her stupor.
"Huh? Why does it feel so real?" she muttered. "I remember pinching someone in a dream doesn't create any feeling. What's going on? So strange!"
Seeing her bewildered expression, Liu Ergou chuckled. "What are you thinking about? Still dreaming? It's already morning. How can you be dreaming now? Besides, I'm not a dream. I'm real. Don't believe me? Here's proof."
