Chapter 1878: 1878

Shen Zhilie’s heart skipped a beat, and he bellowed, “Grandma!”

But there seemed to be no end to the abyss in front of him; Shen Zhilie couldn’t even hear the sound of anything landing .

“Old Shen? Old Shen?”

He seemed to hear Ye Qianqian’s voice vaguely in the distance . Shen Zhilie turned around swiftly and caught sight of Ye Qianqian .

Ye Qianqian was standing by the cliff, and she was holding a young child’s hand . When Ye Qianqian saw Shen Zhilie, she smiled at him .

Shen Zhilie bent his head down and shifted his gaze subconsciously toward the child by Ye Qianqian’s side . The child was wearing a cute outfit of plaid suspenders over a white shirt, and his hair was cut in the shape of an inverted bowl . He was short and cuddly and looked very cute, but Shen Zhilie couldn’t see his face . It was as if his face were covered by a layer of mist and bright light, which easily obscured Shen Zhilie’s vision .

“Old Shen, it’s time to go home to cook! I haven’t eaten yet . ” It was Ye Qianqian’s voice .

Shen Zhilie didn’t know what to think . He looked at Ye Qianqian and replied, “There’s no more rice at home . ”

With her hand still holding the little child’s, Ye Qianqian’s expression changed . She suddenly turned around in a huff and pulled the child over before pushing him over the cliff .

Shen Zhilie was horrified and rushed forward as he yelled, “Ye Qianqian! What are you doing?”

Ye Qianqian didn’t speak . She turned to face Shen Zhilie and balled her hands into fists . Shen Zhilie suddenly felt something tighten around his ankle, as if someone were dragging him down . He lowered his eyes, only to see a whitish-green hand that was weathered with age .

Shen Zhilie was caught off guard, and before he knew it, was dragged down . Reeling from the shock, Shen Zhilie immediately opened his eyes . When he regained his senses, he found that his whole body was covered in perspiration .

“You had a nightmare?” It was Ye Qianqian’s voice .

Shen Zhilie hadn’t fully recovered from the shock yet, and suddenly spun his head around . Ye Qianqian was looking at him in fright . Her eyes widened, and she looked uncertain .

Shen Zhilie regained his wits about him and took a deep breath . Ye Qianqian reached out to touch his forehead, and her hand was instantly soaked in his sweat . She pulled her hand back in disgust and complained, “Ew!”

Shen Zhilie looked around; his surroundings were dim . The curtains weren’t drawn . The sky outside was slowly turning bright in the east . The sun was about to rise soon .

Still lying in bed, Shen Zhilie turned his head toward Ye Qianqian and asked, “You mentioned before that you had a weird dream where I threw a kid over a building . Could you tell it to me in more detail?”

Ye Qianqian blinked her eyes and asked, “You dreamed of that, too?”

“Yeah . It’s really weird . I seldom dream, but on the rare occasion that I do, it happens to be a similar dream to yours . ” Shen Zhilie wiped the sweat off his brow and sat up . He removed his pajamas, which were drenched in perspiration, and said, “Tell me a little more about what your dream was about . ”

Ye Qianqian thought for a moment, and her brows furrowed together . After a long while, she said, “How am I supposed to remember? It’s been so long . Who would remember something like that? What did you just dream of?”

“It was really bizarre . I feel like I dreamed about many things, but I can only remember one thing . ”

“You threw the kid over?”

“It was you who threw the kid over . ” Shen Zhilie tapped Ye Qianqian on her forehead . “Why did you throw the kid over?”

“I didn’t! D*mn it . Don’t you dare malign me because of your dream . ”

Shen Zhilie burst into guffaws . “You can finally understand how I feel now!”

“Did you manage to see what the child looked like?” Ye Qianqian asked suddenly .

Shen Zhilie’s smile ebbed away, and he gently shook his head .
