Chapter 140: Those who often dream know: if you have something on your mind during the day, you will dream of it at night

Shen Man's chest hurt briefly, then it vanished.

Only after over an hour, when she pushed her bicycle off the cabin and rode back to Jiashuyuan, did the pain not return.

Perhaps, as Tangyuan comforted, it should be nothing serious.

Pei Yan Ting pushed the bicycle into the courtyard corner, then carried the egg basket and a bag of mangoes into her sister's kitchen.

After coming out, she said to her sister:

"Manman, go rest in your room first; I'll make dinner, egg noodles, and call you when it's ready."

Although she also took her sister's pulse and found nothing wrong, the sister's pained expression at that moment still left her feeling anxious to this day.

"Okay, then thank you, sister-in-law."

Shen Man was indeed a bit tired and did not refuse her sister-in-law's kindness.

Saying that, she returned to her room under her sister-in-law's concerned gaze.

Tangyuan was very obedient, staying in the bag until its master entered the house, then it jumped out, first landing on the table by the window, scanning the courtyard to see if the sister-in-law had left.

After the sister-in-law left, it meowed at its master:

"Master, the big boss will be fine; he is the Child of Destiny, the whole world revolves around him, turning danger into blessing, not to mention your brother is by his side."

"Hmm, I know; I just suddenly felt uneasy, and my mood inevitably sank."

Shen Man took off her coat, hung it on the rack, her tone lost with a hint of worry.

Before, she had never encountered military wives, not knowing they would face danger when their husbands went on missions, would worry, and would become agitated.

Only now did she realize that military wives must face so many trials.

Military wives, truly a great group.

No wonder military marriages must not be broken.

"Meow."

"The big boss will be fine; he still has Spiritual Liquid on him, so he will definitely be fine."

"Tangyuan just knows; it's a kind of intuition."

"Okay, okay, I know; I'll sleep a bit, then get up when sister-in-law calls me to eat later."

Shen Man said, yawned, lay down, and pulled the covers over herself.

Tangyuan can do nothing now, only curling up silently in a corner of the blanket, quietly accompanying its master.

Those who often dream know: if you have something on your mind during the day, you will dream of it at night.

Before sleeping, Shen Man was still thinking about her man; in the dream, she actually saw him!

But he was wearing armor, and after taking off his mask, he casually placed it on the desk.

The flickering warm candlelight shone on the man's perfect profile, making his bone structure appear even more outstanding.

Is this a dream?

Looking around, she seemed to have been rescued by him from the altar.

Right now, it seems to be inside a tent.

The surroundings, including her remaining bedding, are filled with his masculine aura.

"Awake?"

A familiar voice sounded; obviously he noticed her just peeking, his tone tinged with fatigue yet mixed with a hint of lazy tenderness.

"......."

Shen Man wanted to call out, but her throat couldn't make any sound.

What's going on?

Behind a screen, the man stopped, clasped his fists in salute:

"It is this marquis who has intruded upon the princess; in haste, this is the marquis's camp, quite safe."

"......"

Only then did Shen Man realize that this body is not hers; perhaps it is a mute princess sent for a marriage alliance?

As for the man she knows, perhaps it is not her brother Jiang Ye, but someone who looks exactly like him yet is not the same person.

Instinctively, she didn't need to feign it; her eyes showed vigilance, fear, and terror in full measure.

"Report to the marquis: Lieutenant Lu led the cavalry to a surprise victory, has returned to the camp, and wishes to see the marquis."

At that moment, a deputy commander's report came from outside the tent.

The man's tall stature paused slightly, as if considering that there was still a frightened beauty in his tent; after a moment's thought, he replied:

"Take Lu Xiao to the conference tent."

"Subordinate obeys!"

After the footsteps outside faded, the man brought a plate of food from the table, looked straight ahead, and placed it on the small table beside the bed.

Composed and restrained, he tried not to look at the person on the bed, and spoke gently:

"Food is limited in the camp; this is scallion oil pancake, with a waterskin nearby; princess, please have some food first."

After thinking, he added:

"In this marquis's camp, no one will harm the princess; she may stay here temporarily, and when the marquis returns victorious from the campaign, he will arrange a suitable place for her."

Having said that, the man turned and left, giving the alliance princess full respect.

Marriage alliance is not one person's wish.

That a frail woman can bravely undertake this marriage alliance proves that even as a woman, she can be loyal and sacrifice herself for the country just like a man.

This courage fills him with admiration.

For such a woman, he wishes to treat her with courtesy, giving her full respect and pity.

Only after Shen Man confirmed that the person had left the tent did she finally let out a long breath.

Shen Man lifted the blanket, stretched out a hand, and the small mole between the left index finger and thumb was still there.

This body seemed to be a perfect fit.

Enter.

Shen Man hadn't entered the space, so this was still the dream.

"......"

"Ah."

Wanting to speak, a hoarse, unpleasant sound came from the throat.

After the appraisal, it seemed truly a mute princess.

Shen Man felt everything around was so real that goosebumps rose on the arms involuntarily.

I heard that pinching oneself in a dream doesn't hurt.

Shen Man hardened resolve, found a piece of flesh on the thigh, and pinched, pinched, hiss!

Wake, wake up!

So painful!

It turns out that saying is false; pinching oneself in a dream really hurts!

After tossing and turning for a while, Shen Man grew tired, got hungry, and picked up the nearby scallion oil pancake to nibble.

"Meow~"

"Master, I'm Tangyuan; why are you nibbling my paws?"

"Tangyuan?"

"Paws?"

Shen Man suddenly shuddered, everything before the eyes spun, and woke up.

Shen Man's eyes opened, facing the fluffy Tangyuan; looking down, indeed, Shen Man hurriedly released Tangyuan's paws.....

"Sorry, Tangyuan, I didn't know it was you; I was dreaming, dreaming my stomach was hungry, I grabbed a piece of scallion oil pancake and nibbled."

"Dreaming?"

Tangyuan suddenly stopped crying, stretched out its little head, and sniffed, sniffed.

Strange, why does the master's body have a familiar scent?

That is Lu Lao Zu's, the scent of a soul.

"In the dream, I dreamed——"

Shen Man was about to share with Tangyuan the fact of having dreamed of an ancient-style Jiang Ye older brother, when suddenly the mind stalled.

Shen Man, who did Shen Man dream of?

Strange, clearly feeling that someone important, yet suddenly not knowing how to describe them.

At this moment, a call from the sister-in-law came from outside the house.

"Manman, are you awake? Come out to eat egg noodles; I fried two perfect sunny-side-up eggs, all for you...."

"Hey, coming."

Shen Man shuddered, forgetting what to say.

Simply not thinking about it; a dream is just a dream.

"Hiss~"

Who pinched Shen Man?

The soft flesh on the thigh really hurts!
