BBW Chapter 181 : Reunited In A Dream

As night was approaching, Yun stood by the lake and looked at the reflection in the lake――his other self.

"Night, who is Chu Changge?"

The reflection in the lake was clearly startled by this question and showed an expression of surprise. "She recognises you?"

"She thought I was Chu Changge. And said some baffling words."

"What did she say?" His reflection asked sharply. His tone was very urgent.

"You tell me who Chu Changge is first."

"Even if I told you now, you'd still forget about it tomorrow."

"Night, I want to know." Yun said stubbornly.

Night was silent for a whisper and said, "Chu Changge is me."

"And what about me?"

"You ...... you were an accident." Night said.

Yun: "You want to deny my existence and strip me out of this body?"

Night: "There is no time when I don't want to."

"Night, we are one. You won't get away with this!" There was anger in Yun's eyes.

"I will get it my way."

"Don't you ever think about it!"

"It's been a tiring day. You should go to sleep."

"No. Night, you should never think you can strip me off."

"Go to sleep. Sleep, and tomorrow it will be a brand new you again who remember nothing."

"No, no......" Yun tried to struggle, but his will faded, and he fainted by the lake.

The sun was setting, and the night was falling. 'Yun' stood up again, but his eyes had become murky, the sign that he had been marked by time. When evening came, it became Night's domain.

At that moment, four men came out of the surrounding jungle. "Leader."


Night tore the mask off his face, revealing a look of great beauty. The face belonged to Chu Changge. "Tell me everything that happened today." Chu Changge said.

"Yes."

East Guardian relayed to Chu Changge the gigantic details of what had happened at the Jiugua House during the day, including the words that Murong Yunshu had asked Yun to forward to him.

If you live, I will live with you. If you die, I will die with you. If you become a devil, I will accompany you to become a devil.

Chu Changge closed his eyes and imagined how Murong Yunshu felt when she said those words, and he felt as if a knife was twisting his heart. If only she had become a demon, it would be fine.

East Guardian: "Sect Leader, it's been three years. Are you still not planning to get together with Madam?"

"Madam doesn't even mind if you are a human, a ghost or a demon." South Guardian pointed out.

West Guardian: "Yes. Madam is deeply attached to the Leader. Surely she can accept the current Leader."

When it was the North Guardian's turn, he was habitually nervous. "Ma, Madam must miss you very much."

"Of course she would! Why do you think she still looks for him these three years without giving up?" The trio of East, South and West had the same idea to roll their eyes together at North Guardian. Even if he had spoken, it was the same as if he was not speaking at all.

The North Guardian had an innocent look on his face, but he had racked his brain to come out with this one, okay! Could he be blamed for it? The three of them didn't even inform him before 'advising' him, so he didn't have enough time to ponder on it.

After a long moment of silence, Chu Changge said, "Withdraw."

"Sect Leader!" The four of them spoke at the same time, with pleading faces. For the sake of the Lil Leader, don't run away anymore. How can you bear to see Madam in the depths of despair and not give her a hand?

"Withdraw!" His tone somewhat hardened a few notches.

The four men hesitated for a long time before reluctantly answering, "Yes."

After standing motionless in the night for a long time, Chu Changge suddenly shouted and punched the tree with his fist as if to vent his anger. The tree collapsed with a loud bang.

It had been three years. When the hell would this darn second personality disappear?

Murong Yunshu was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep.

While she lay on her bed, her thoughts ran wild, unable to stop.

Yun was Chu Changge. She was sure of it. A person's face could change, his eyes could change, and so did his voice, but not his scent. The kind of scent that made her heart beat faster as soon as she got close to him. She couldn't have mistaken it.

But why were his eyes so strange? Amnesia? If he had a memory loss, why would he save her? And who was the 'he' in his mouth who had asked him to save her?

There were many doubts in her mind. If she could not solve them, she would be unable to sleep.

Murong Yunshu turned over and looked at the bright moonlight creeping into the window and became even less sleepy.

Chu Changge, at this moment, are you also like me, unable to sleep at night?

That's fine. At least it is enough to know that you are still alive. Closing her eyes, Murong Yunshu decided to end this insomnia and forced herself to sleep.

She didn't know how long it took, but Murong Yunshu suddenly felt something caressing her cheek, very lightly. The tenderness that came from between this person's fingers could be felt even with her eyes closed.

Chu Changge? This was Murong Yunshu's first reaction. Apart from him, who else could be so gentle to her in this world?

Murong Yunshu wanted to open her eyes, wanted to grab that hand, but was afraid that it was just a dream, the same as the countless midnight dreams she had had over the past three years. And what she saw when she opened her eyes was only an endless stream of despair.

"Yunshu, Yunshu......"

The familiar and clear murmur was so natural that it made Murong Yunshu's body flinch. This was not a dream. It must not be.

"Don't go." Murong Yunshu fiercely grabbed the hand that was trying to leave, pleading in a low voice. She slowly opened her eyes. What met her eyes was indeed the handsome face that had long engraved into her bones. "Chu Changge――" She let out a cry with hot tears filling her eyes. Suddenly, Murong Yunshu, without knowing where her strength came from, jumped into his arms.

Chu Changge did not expect her to wake up suddenly and did not know how to face it for a moment. Such a reunion was not what he had expected.

Murong Yunshu sobbed uncontrollably in Chu Changge's arms, finally having an outlet for her grievances that had accumulated over a thousand days and nights.

Chu Changge held her tightly in his arms as his heart ached beyond words. Chu Changge, how can you be willing......to let her, who used to be so strong, crumble into such a mess......

"If you dare......if you dare to leave again......" Murong Yunshu's voice was weak and stubborn, but how could she say the words that followed. If he disappeared again, what could she do? Apart from searching and waiting, there was nothing else she could do.

Chu Changge was silent for a long time before he whispered in her ear, "I have always been by your side."

"All the time?"

"All the time."

Murong Yunshu asked sullenly, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" If this were a dream, she would rather sleep in this dream. [+]

The answer she received was a long, long silence.

Murong Yunshu suddenly felt a hint of unease. "Chu Changge?"

"I have always been by your side. I have never left."

Murong Yunshu wondered why he was repeating himself when she suddenly lost consciousness, without warning.

Chu Changge put the fainting Murong Yunshu onto the bed, covered her with the blanket and stroked her hair and murmured, "I know you don't care what I've become now, but I do. I can't tolerate myself treating you like a stranger for six hours a day, and I can't tolerate my memories of you going blank during the day."

"I'm sorry." Dropping a soft kiss on Murong Yunshu's forehead, Chu Changge leapt out of the window. Standing outside the window, he took another reluctant glance back before raising his steps to leave.

Suddenly, a question came from his side, "Are you leaving now?"

Chu Changge stopped when he heard the sound and looked sideways. His eyes were cold.

"I knew you would come tonight." Li Wunai said as he slowly walked over. "What happened three years ago? Why are you avoiding her?"

Chu Changge did not answer his question, and after a moment of silence, said, "Don't tell her anything about tonight." After saying that, he lifted his leg and was about to leave.

"Hold on!" Li Wunai stepped forward to stop him. "You want to leave again? Do you know how she has survived these three years?"

Chu Changge raised his eyes and looked at him coldly. "I know it better than you do."

"If you know that so well, why can't you recognise her during the day?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yun." Li Wunai said, "You may be able to fool others, but you can't fool her or me. You are Yun."

Chu Changge treated his question as if he hadn't heard him. He sidestepped his block and walked away.

"Wait." Li Wunai spoke with emphasis, "You are not an irresponsible person. What the hell is going on? Tell me, and I can help you."

"Don't mention tonight's events to anyone. You are helping me this way." With that, Chu Changge flew away.

"Please take into consideration――" Li Wunai still wanted to ask what was going on, but in a blink of an eye, he had already lost sight of Chu Changge's figure. Looking at his departing back for a long time, Li Wunai let out a deep sigh and said to himself, "Although I don't know what happened three years ago, how you were able to cure the poison and why you were unwilling to recognise her, I am relieved to know that you are still alive."

When Murong Yunshu woke up with a start the next day, the sun was already three poles high. It was the longest sleep she had had in the past three years. She opened her eyes and sat numbly on the bed, recalling the events of last night. It was so real and unreal that it seemed like a dream and, at the same time, not.

She lifted her hand, looked at the empty palm of her hand and froze.

"Miss, you're finally awake. There's a guest outside who's been waiting for you all morning." Lu-er pushed the door to get in.

Murong Yunshu raised her eyes and looked over, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Lu-er answered with a flat mouth, "It's rare for Miss to sleep in. Even if the Gods came and called, Miss still wouldn't wake up."

Murong Yunshu's mouth curled up when she heard her words. She got up and put on her clothes while asking, "Who is looking for me?"

"I don't know. He came early in the morning and said he had something important to say to you in person. He didn't look very anxious, so I told him to wait in the study." Lu-er twisted a hot towel and handed it to Murong Yunshu.

"Something important?" Murong Yunshu raised her dark eyebrows. She was wiping her face while pondering who the visitor would be when suddenly, she threw down the towel and walked quickly towards the study without saying a word.

"Ai......Miss, you haven't eaten your breakfast yet!" Lu-er said as she chased after her with her breakfast.

When Murong Yunshu pushed open the study door, she saw a tall man with his back to her. For a moment, she almost thought it was Chu Changge who had returned.

"Finally awake?" The man turned around and asked with a smile.

Seeing the face of the man who came, Murong Yunshu went blank for a long time before saying, "Hua Tiansheng?"

Hua Tiansheng smiled faintly, "It's me."

Murong Yunshu smiled back. "You've changed a lot. I almost didn't recognise you."

"Really?" Hua Tiansheng smiled as he said, "You haven't changed much."

Murong Yunshu curled her lips into another smile, but it did not reach her eyes. It was a very superficial smile, only because she did not want to continue with the pleasantries. "I heard you have something important for me?"

Hua Tiansheng hung his head and pondered for a moment before raising his eyes and asking, "I heard that Chu Changge had come to see you?"

Murong Yunshu was startled. Could it be that last night was not a dream?!
