Yu Xingqiao softly hummed the lullaby; however, by the end, he felt sleepy from humming.

He looked at the cub in his arms, eyes already closed and sleeping peacefully. However, this little guy’s eyebrows were still furrowed even in sleep, as if there was a burden of pain and suffering weighing him down. l3SuIK

However, the little one’s eyebrows were still furrowed even when he was sleeping, as if for a long time a huge weight of pain and suffering was weighing him down.

He felt a little distressed, so he lifted his hand and tried to smooth his eyebrows.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Warning, please do not engage in any other behaviour aside from hugging, or this passage will close immediately.”

The emotionless electronic voice rang out again, causing Yu Xingqiao to dismiss the thought he just had. av6KiA

He pouted slightly.

But soon, Yu Xingqiao had an idea and grinned slightly.

As long as it was a hug, right?

He put his other leg onto the bed and carefully shifted his position, so that the cub’s head was resting on his arm while he sat on his knees and let the little boy’s body lie in his arms.

Perhaps because it was a dream, he had become strong enough to carry a four or five years old child.

This was too amazing!

He waited for a while and sure enough, he didn’t hear that annoying electronic voice play.

The youth smiled. MfD65w

He wrapped his arms around the little ball in his arms and gently rested his cheek against the cub’s forehead. The warmth of their skin against each other was a wonderful sensation.

He closed his eyes gently, feeling the cub’s warm body that carried a milky scent, and was so happy that he lost himself.

This was the first time Yu Xingqiao had ever experienced this kind of skinship.

Moreover, inside the dream, he didn’t have to worry about getting sick at all! eElY9v

Wow, the cub’s skin was really soft and smooth. Was this the milk skin that they refer to on TV? He squinted his eyes and kept snuggling against him, trying to get enough of it.

Just too cute!

Yu Xingqiao grinned. Just as he raised his eyes, he saw the thin wings behind the little one again.

The thin, cellophane-like wings had beautiful patterns imprinted on them. With the surrounding dark fog fading away, bits of stardust started spilling out. o5PsIe

In the tiny dark room, it was like a beautiful firefly.

Yu Xingqiao finally couldn’t resist being drawn in and reached out his hand, his fingertips gently touching the faintly glittering stardust.

Looking at the sleeping cub in his arms, he reluctantly put him back to bed and pulled the blanket over him.

The youth’s figure began to fade. AXCx12

Before he disappeared completely as a body of light, one could see him leaning over slightly as his slightly pale lips gently touched the little boy’s forehead.

In the next second, his entire body completely dissipated.

In the small dark room, there was only a little boy lying on the bed with his eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.

The small chandelier on the ceiling swayed slowly as the lights shone upon this moving scene…… Gy4dNZ

On the hospital bed, Yu Xingqiao opened his eyes with a jerk.

He stared blankly at the familiar ceiling, the very bleak pale ceiling without the comfort of the wooden surrounding and the cute little chandelier.

He looked around and realised he was still in the sterile ward.

Just now…… was it his dream? iFWTdt

But why did he remember it so clearly even after he had woken up?

Yu Xingqiao looked at his hands. He then tried to pull the covers over, and he hugged them tightly in his arms.

This was not the feeling ……

Disappointed, he let go of the cover and pulled the pillow over again. jD8r4F

Still not right ……

Lost in thought, he buried his face into the pillow.

Wuwu hugging the cub was still more comfortable. Soft and warm, with a faint nice smelling milk scent on him.

Moreover, the cub could get shy! UrLt6

He also called out for his master in a soft, gentle, little milk voice.

Oooh wow, it was really too meng!

Yu Xingqiao hugged the pillow and rolled on the bed, rolling and rolling, with a joyful smile on his face. His pale cheeks were tinged with a light pink due to his excitement.

But …… fNI683

That was just a dream, right?

His smile faltered. However, he quickly reassured himself that he remembered everything in the dream!

Why did it matter if it was a dream or reality? It was one of the few happy experiences he’d ever had!

He giggled foolishly again, wishing he could close his eyes and go back to sleep again to accompany his sleeping cub in his dream. RvqUFQ

Hey, he wasn’t able to feel much from that last goodnight kiss ……

The youth pressed his fingers to his lips.

Although he touched the pup’s forehead, he was already close to disappearing. Even if he had touched it, he didn’t feel anything.

If he were to close his eyes now, would he be able to continue that dream? cRx7Tp

With that in mind, Yu Xingqiao quickly closed his eyes again.

Unfortunately, as soon as he closed his eyes, everything he had just experienced just now surfaced back in his mind.

Each scene, each second……

He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep at all! DwTId6

Yu Xingqiao helplessly opened his eyes and climbed up from the bed.

Forget it, it was better to go online and play the game.

The cub in the game was still waiting to be comforted by him. He couldn’t indulge in his own dreamland and neglect the real cub.

Yu Xingqiao glanced at the clock and realised that he had slept for almost an hour. 6NUFes

He was the only one in the sterile ward. The nurse lady had probably seen him fall asleep and left first.

Usually, after he fell asleep, the nurse lady would not take the initiative to call him until meal time, because his body was weak, and he would not lose sleep at night even if he slept a lot during the day.

Yu Xingqiao pulled open the drawer. Sure enough, he saw his phone placed inside safely.

The nurse lady was always so considerate. jrLDR2

He took his phone out, switched it on and opened the Miracle Cub app.

Watching the screen gradually light up, Yu Xingqiao suddenly felt a bit apprehensive. He had been away for more than an hour, the cub couldn’t have completely blackened, right?

Wuwu, the cub was suffering here yet he had gone into his dream to cuddle with his imaginary cub ……

The moment he thought of this, Yu Xingqiao was suddenly filled with guilt. He could only pray in his heart that the cub’s situation did not worsen, which would be ideal. xKddem

Just when the game screen fully appeared on the phone, Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but be stunned.

He was still in the Grand Elder’s secret room.

The blackened image he had imagined did not appear either; instead, the cub lay peacefully on the bed, with his eyes tightly closed, looking asleep.

However, this sleeping position …… eL3p2D

How was it so similar to the last scene in his dream?

A strange feeling arose in Yu Xingqiao’s heart and it spun like electricity as some thought connected.

Surely, it couldn’t be?

It couldn’t be what he was thinking, right? jhH6TN

Yu Xingqiao’s hand trembled slightly. Feeling like he could barely hold the phone, he quickly placed it back on the phone stand.

Then he took a deep breath and pinched his hands hard.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Calm down, he had to stay calm.

After barely calming down his excitement and shock, Yu Xingqiao returned his gaze to the game screen again. 0iuU f

He didn’t open the cub log immediately.

The youth’s gaze first fell on the cub’s body. Looking at his quiet sleeping face, his mood softened for a while. Then, he adjusted his perspective.

He remembered inside the dream, this place ……

After moving the screen towards the cub’s forehead and zooming in, he saw a small red mole on the right side of the boy’s hairline. Ytyg05

The mole was really small and if he hadn’t tried to give him a goodnight kiss like the one shown on TV when he was leaving, he wouldn’t have noticed it.
