"You heard wrong." Xu Lai wrapped his arms around Ruan Tang's fragrant body and said, "It's still early. Let's sleep a bit more."
"Mhm." Ruan Tang lazily responded and fell back into her dreamland.
「Eight in the morning.」
Warm sunlight filtered through the window, casting its glow upon the embracing couple.
Ruan Tang suddenly woke from her sleep with a start. "Xu Lai!"
She sat up, her forehead beaded with sweat and her breathing rapid, her eyes still wide with panic. But when her gaze met Xu Lai's concerned expression, Ruan Tang's tension slowly eased.
"Had a nightmare?" Xu Lai gently wiped the sweat from his wife's forehead. "It's alright, I'm here."
"Yeah…" Ruan Tang let out a long breath, her mood slightly downcast as she said, "I dreamed we were kneeling before a Colorful Altar. Below it was a calm sea, its surface reflecting the white clouds in the sky."
