At this moment, inside the family building.
Lu Jing had been scrolling through his phone while leaning on the couch, but at some point, he drifted off to sleep, his phone having fallen beside him, the screen now black.
He was sleeping restlessly, his expression tense, anxious, muttering under his breath,
"Don't, please don't..."
Jiang Ye walked through the door, carrying a big bag of groceries, all bought from the canteen.
Little did he know, upon entering, he saw his wife caught in the throes of a nightmare.
The groceries were dropped on the floor as he took large strides towards her.
"Wife."
"Don't, don't hurt him, I beg you...
Ah, so much blood..."
Jiang Ye, seeing something was wrong, shook her vigorously:
"Wife, wake up, come on, wake up."
With all the commotion, Lu Jing groggily came to, still in a daze:
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Jiang Ye held him in his embrace:
"It's nothing, you seemed to be having a nightmare."
A nightmare?
