The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback

Chapter 551 - 552: Dreams, Always Just Dreams

Mo Shu felt like something had scalded her heart. She said, "I’ll come to find you."

Yu Siqiao became somewhat more lucid and glanced at the clock on the bedside table, "Now?"

"Now," Mo Shu was firm.

Yu Siqiao suddenly sat up, "What’s wrong?"

"I miss you."

’Ding’

[Male lead’s Happiness +1]

Hearing this system alert inexplicably soothed Mo Shu’s anxious heart.

I miss you.

Yu Siqiao felt a warmth in his heart, but the first image that came to his mind was of her staring at him expressionlessly.

’She only gets close to you because of a bet.’

The sound of He Yong’er’s voice lingered by his ear, prompting Yu Siqiao to close his eyes as the warm feeling faded slightly.

Was her statement of missing him genuine?

"It’s too late," Yu Siqiao said, "What made you think of calling me in the middle of the night?"

Mo Shu had already started to change clothes. Upon hearing this, her movements to explain paused. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I had a nightmare that scared me awake."

Yu Siqiao fell silent.

Even the timing of a nightmare was such a coincidence.

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed... that you were standing in front of me, saying you and Gu Wenjuan rekindled your old feelings," as Mo Shu said this, her heart ached faintly, "then you took Gu Wenjuan’s hand and walked away, not wanting me or the baby."

This scene was one she had previously dreamed of.

In the half month she’d been in the real world, this nightmare recurred every night.

At that time, she did not know who Yu Siqiao was, but her heart still hurt tremendously, as if it were being torn open.

Yu Siqiao remained silent for a while, "There’s nothing going on between me and Gu Wenjuan."

"I know," Mo Shu quickly replied, "I know, I’ve found out everything, I’ve just asked Ji Biao and Ji Ren."

"Just now?" Yu Siqiao caught this crucial point sharply.

"Um... because I’m really scared, Yu Siqiao, that dream felt too real, I couldn’t tell if it was true or false... so, I wanted to come and ask you about it."

Speaking half truths, Mo Shu’s gaze grew heavier.

She didn’t want to deceive him, but she couldn’t possibly tell him that she had just been through his dream, prompting her to call Ji Biao and Ji Ren to ask for clarity.

"Even if it was real, it’s just a dream," Yu Siqiao’s gaze remained on the digital alarm clock on the bedside table, his thoughts drifting far away as he muttered, "They are not real, don’t take them seriously."

These words were directed at Mo Shu, but also at himself.

What had happened was real.

But dreams would always just be dreams.

Mo Shu’s heart tightened slightly, sensing an underlying message in his words.

"Go to bed early," Yu Siqiao spoke softly, "Early to bed, early to rise. You’re still quite weak now, you need to rest more."

"But, many things that have happened aren’t necessarily true," Mo Shu said, "Like the things you said to me, about rekindling old feelings with Gu Wenjuan, they weren’t true, were they?"

"Uh-huh, those were words said in anger."

"That day, I just wanted you to spend some time alone with Gu Wenjuan. I didn’t intend for her to drug you, and I had no idea she would do... that to you..."

"I know."

His voice, deep and unique to a man, was indifferent.

Yet, it signified he didn’t mind.

Mo Shu knew he understood, but she didn’t want him to just understand.

Hesitating for a moment, Mo Shu said, "Is that why you’ve been so unhappy recently?"

Yu Siqiao grew silent for a split second, then he seemed to smile, yet not really. He said, "It’s all in the past."
