Chapter 394: Reconciling

Others were baffled by Shi Youxuan's behavior today, but he knew what was going on.

This woman was jealous because of that phone call.

He clearly could have explained, but he didn't!

The reason for not explaining was that he wanted to see her being jealous for his sake; it was very cute and especially interesting.

"Bastard... Sheng Hanyu, you bastard!" Shi Youxuan suddenly blurted out.

At first, it gave him a start, as he thought the woman had woken up.

But soon, he discovered she hadn't woken up; she was just cursing him unconsciously in her dream.

What kind of experience is it to hate someone so much that you curse them even in your dreams?

Sheng Hanyu's answer was—it's very blissful!

Heaven knows how hard he has worked during this time, but now he sees that all the hardship was worth it.

He finally "helped" Shi Youxuan realize her own heart, and soon he would be able to fulfill his wish of a true family of three.

"Don't marry someone else, what will I do, sob..." Shi Youxuan turned over and started to cry; she cried so hard that a small patch of the pillowcase became wet, and it nearly broke Sheng Hanyu's heart.

Even though he knew she was talking in her sleep and was completely unconscious, he still couldn't help but take up the conversation: "Silly girl, I won't marry anyone else. In this life, I won't marry anyone but you. I've set my heart on you, for a lifetime!"

"Liar!"

Sheng Hanyu was startled.

Could she hear him speaking?

Shi Youxuan continued: "Big liar, Sheng Hanyu, you are just a big liar, always trying to trick me..." It was still sleep-talking.

Sheng Hanyu stroked her hair with a heart aching for her, and fiercely slapped himself twice!

He felt that he really was a bastard; in order to achieve his goal, he had actually made her this sad.

But then again, if she weren't this sad, he wouldn't have been able to realize his position in her heart.

"Xuanxuan, I promise, all the grievances you have suffered in the past and present, I will repay you a thousand times over in the future." Sheng Hanyu swore.

Shi Youxuan felt as if her head was splitting apart.

This was the aftereffect of drinking too much alcohol.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the scene before her made Shi Youxuan feel—she was still dreaming, she hadn't woken up at all.

The scene before her was too familiar, etched into her bones; it had appeared in her dreams countless times!

Therefore, this was also a dream.

She simply and crudely categorized it as such.

Sheng Hanyu brought over a cup of amber-colored liquid that was still steaming, and handed it to her: "You're finally awake, drink this."

It was very strange; even though she was in a "dream," Shi Youxuan could still feel thirsty!

"Feed me!" she commanded.

Shi Youxuan thought, since it was a dream anyway, she would indulge herself once in the dream; there wouldn't be a chance once she woke up.

In reality, he was about to become another woman's man, but she could still call the shots in her own dream.

Sheng Hanyu was stunned for a moment, but he reacted in an instant: "Okay."

He sat on the edge of the bed, carefully helped her sit up, and then held the cup to her lips to feed her.

Shi Youxuan didn't use her hands to take it; she took a small sip from his hand. It was sour and sweet, and the taste was not bad—it was similar to the Sobering Soup the housekeeper cooked, but not quite the same!

The Sobering Soup cooked by the housekeeper, Zhang Ma, was on the sour side, while the one she was drinking now tasted sweeter, and Shi Youxuan liked sweets.

She thought to herself: As expected, it's a dream; even the Sobering Soup tastes better than in reality!

After drinking it, her headache eased a little, and Shi Youxuan fell into a deep sleep again.

This time, it was a deep sleep, and she didn't "dream."

When Shi Youxuan woke up again, it was dawn.

No, it was already broad daylight!

Sunlight shone in through the gaps in the curtains, warming her face, and it was what woke her up.

Shi Youxuan raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun and reached out to grope around—Shi Ran wasn't there, but she touched something furry.

She pulled it over and hugged it to her chest, and she opened her eyes just a slit—hmm?

The thing in her arms was actually Zai Zai, my god!

She hadn't seen Zai Zai for so many years, but Shi Youxuan could still recognize at a glance that it was the Zai Zai who had accompanied her for many years!

No, where was this?

Shi Youxuan woke up from the excitement of seeing Zai Zai again and suddenly realized that this was the place where she had "dreamed" yesterday, and also the place where she had once lived—this was the Sheng Hanyu Villa, the room she had lived in when she first married into the family.

It was her former bridal chamber.

Shi Youxuan sat up from the bed; she tried hard to recall what had happened yesterday, but she couldn't remember anything—she had drunk too much.

She had drunk too much alcohol and had a total blackout!

However, she still remembered what happened before she got drunk.

She had dragged Jian Yixin along, asked her to introduce a boyfriend, and even exaggeratedly praised Shi Liu...

Shi Youxuan slapped her own head hard, full of regret.

Yesterday, she was in the heat of the moment and didn't feel there was anything wrong.

But now, looking back—it was too obvious!

She had wanted to anger Sheng Hanyu and wanted to draw a line between them.

Subconsciously, there was also a sense of competition in it: You are getting married, but I am no worse than you; you, Sheng Hanyu, are highly sought after, but it's not like I, Shi Youxuan, have no one wanting me!

But it was just too obvious.

Sheng Hanyu is no fool; he can understand why with just a little thought.

Shi Youxuan feels so embarrassed, but... it seems she has even brought her embarrassment into someone else's home.

Why did she appear here? She cannot remember a single thing.

He is very afraid that she came here on her own, which would mean she has no face left at all; Shi Youxuan prepares to sneak away!

She must take Zai Zai; this belongs to her.

So, she holds Zai Zai, not even taking the coat left on the footstool, and prepares to go out on tiptoe.

Her hand presses on the doorknob, "Click"—hmm?

The handle didn't press down; what is going on?

So she presses again, and again, and again...

The doorknob doesn't budge at all, and Shi Youxuan finally understands—the door has been locked from the outside.

This is Sheng Hanyu Villa; Sheng Hanyu was also there before she blacked out from drinking yesterday, and now that she is actually in his home and cannot get out, Shi Youxuan can immediately guess who is behind this.

"Slap, slap, slap."

She bangs on the door forcefully and shouts loudly from inside: "Sheng Hanyu, open the door! Why did you lock the door? Open up."

Very quickly, the sound of a key turning comes from outside, the door opens, and Sheng Hanyu walks in carrying a tray: "You're awake? Go wash up and get ready to eat."

"How did I get here?" She doesn't move from her spot and asks first.

If Sheng Hanyu answers that he brought her here, she is prepared to hold him accountable.

If he answers that she came here on her own, Shi Youxuan is prepared to slip away immediately!

"You go wash up first, and then I will tell you."

Shi Youxuan:...

She compromises and goes to wash up.

Time seems to have forgotten this room; everything is exactly as it was six years ago, and because it has been well-maintained, everything is still as good as new.

Even the toiletries are the original brands, all the kinds she is used to using; the only difference is that the production dates are recent.

After washing up, Shi Youxuan comes out, ready to ask again, but is drawn in by the aroma of food in the air!

It is so fragrant—seafood lotus leaf porridge, crab roe buns, and a few plates of refreshing side dishes, all of which are Shi Youxuan's favorites, not to mention she is famished right now.

She didn't eat much at noon yesterday, and at night she didn't eat anything at all, instead filling her stomach with alcohol; now she is starving.

"Eat; ask while you eat."

Sheng Hanyu sets the food and dishes on the table one by one, hands her the chopsticks, and even smiles at her.
