Qi.
I dreamt about the day I was born.
Father tried to kill me by hurling me in my dream.
It did not help no matter how much I cried and screamed—Father flung me to the ground in the end.
Lil Qi, it hurts, it really hurts…”

At this point, tears began rolling down her eyes and she could not stop sobbing.

Alarmed, Chu Qi lowered his head to kiss away her tears, bit by bit.


Only when her tears stopped flowing did he hold her face in his hands and say to her in a gentle voice, “Ji’er, you said it yourself that it’s a dream.
It isn’t real.
You’re perfectly safe right now and nothing’s happened to you.
You’re not allowed to let your thoughts run wild again, understand?”

“That’s only because you caught me.” Ji’er shook her head.
Her voice sounded like it was about to break.
“Even though it’s just a dream, it felt very real to me.
If you hadn’t caught me, I would have died.
It would be impossible for me to survive that.”

Chu Qi felt like his heart was about to break as he hugged her tightly in his arms.
He had no idea how else to comfort her.
All he could do was repeat, “It’s just a dream, Ji’er, it’s just a dream.
Your dream is not real.
It’s just a nightmare.”

Ji’er broke out in tears.
“Lil Qi…”

“I’m here, Ji’er, I’m always here.” Chu Qi kept kissing her, unsure of what else to do with her.

Ji’er cried for a long time before finally falling asleep, exhausted from all the crying.

Chu Qi hugged her, unable to sleep.


Ji’er was not the only one who could tell that His Majesty’s love for Ji’er had a sort of careful cautiousness to it.
He could sense it as well.

Was that out of guilt because he wanted to make it up to Ji’er, or was it because His Majesty pitied his daughter’s unfortunate life which saw her being thrown off the cliff the day she was born?

Chu Qi suddenly also felt scared about the possibility of the ugly truth.
It would break Ji’er’s heart.
How was she able to live with this knowledge?
