Ruan Munan spent a lot of effort to steady her trembling hands.
He gently patted the little girl's head and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Qi, it was all a dream. As long as my brother is here, no one can hurt you."
Ruan Qi's frightened little heart was mostly healed by her brother's gentle and pleasant voice.
She let go of Ruan Munan, raised her head and asked him, "Brother, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm thirsty, come down and have a glass of water."
Ruan Munan didn't want Ruan Qi to see her ugly face. He turned around and took the milk out of the refrigerator.
"I'll warm you a glass of milk to help you sleep."
Ruan Qi said her thanks obediently, and then dragged Xiao Dundun, the baby of Damai, to sit at the door of the kitchen, resting her chin on her hand and looking at her brother's handsome back.
"Xiao Qi," Ruan Munan poured milk into the cup and asked as if making small talk, "What are you dreaming about?"
Ruan Qi, who had finally calmed down, thought of that dream, and her eyes were filled with panic.
"I dreamed that I was a little girl, locked in a dark room."
Ruan Munan's hand holding the cup shook and she tried to smile, "Little girl? Is she as old as the boy you rescued on the street today?"
"It seems not." Ruan Qi thought about it for a moment, shook her head and said, "A bit older than that boy. I should have been eight or nine years old in the dream. Brother, do you think I was influenced by that boy during the day?"
"Probably." Ruan Munan took the milk out of the microwave and lowered his eyes and said, "I often dream about the people and things I met during the day."
"But……"
The little girl raised her eyebrows in confusion, "This dream is so real, as if it really happened. Brother, do you think it really happened, but I forgot about it?"
Bang - bang!
The cup in Ruan Munan's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
White milk exploded on the marble floor tiles, splashing and making a mess.
Ruan Qi was startled, "Brother!"
Ruan Munan saw her bare feet and wanted to run this way, and immediately shouted: "Stop! Don't come over!"
The little girl stopped quickly and looked at him eagerly with wet peach blossom eyes.
"elder brother……"
"I'm fine, I didn't get burned." Ruan Munan slowed down and said, "The ground is full of glass shards, Xiao Qi, please don't come over."
The little girl nodded obediently, and at this moment, rapid footsteps came from the second floor.
"What's wrong?!" Nie Heng didn't even have time to put on his shirt, and rushed down in three steps at a time, "Shall I choke you? Brother Nan, Senior Sister, what are you two doing in the middle of the night?! Destroy the house?!"
"The milk glass is broken. Nie Heng, go get the mop." Ruan Munan said.
Nie Heng immediately rushed into the bathroom and took out the mop.
Ruan Munan and Nie Heng quickly cleaned up the kitchen, and then heated up another glass of milk for Ruan Qi.
"Go to bed after drinking the milk. Your body has just recovered and needs more rest."
Ruan Qi nodded obediently, drank a glass of milk in one gulp, and then went upstairs with little burps.
Ruan Munan looked at her back, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Nie Heng."
Nie Heng, who had just finished mopping the floor, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Nan?"
"Master Beilou said before that Xiao Qi forgets nightmares when she wakes up because her subconscious doesn't want to remember them, right?"
"That's right." Nie Heng nodded in confusion, "Senior Sister's brain has not been traumatized, and the reason for her amnesia is psychological. Including the fact that she can't remember the nightmares she had, it's because her subconscious is protecting her. Brother Nan, why did you suddenly remember this? What happened?"
Ruan Munan looked at him steadily for two seconds, "Xiao Qi had a nightmare just now, and she didn't forget it when she woke up."
