Yan Chao looked into his eyes: "You can see through me at a glance, thinking I can't see through you?"

Zhou Chenyu stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled: "You are not willing to tell me, why should I tell you?"

What he said was undisguised and not without reason, but it left Yan Chao speechless.

Hearing Zhou Chenyu speak again: "Actually it's nothing, it's nothing more than the little thing about learning drama when I was a child. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you later when I have a chance."

In fact, Yan Chao didn't even have the mind to gossip, he just responded politely, but he didn't expect Zhou Chenyu to be more frank than him.

As soon as the story of Wang Baochuan comes out, it is really amazing that each of them can't explain their own unexplainable thoughts.

Zhou Chenyu patted Yan Chao's shoulder and sighed, "Everyone has a scripture that is hard to read."

As the saying goes, there is something to think about every day, and something to dream about at night.

It's just that Yan Chao didn't expect that the person in the play appeared in his dream that night.

What he dreamed happened to be the fold of "Three Passes" in "The Red Mane Horse". After Xue Pinggui received Wang Baochuan's biography of the wild geese, he decided to return to the Central Plains. , go home alone.

After Princess Daizhan woke up, she led the troops to chase to the city gate. Xue Pinggui had no choice but to tell the princess the truth. Only then did the princess learn that Xue Pinggui had a first wife, Wang Baochuan. She was moved by their affection and finally released Xue Pinggui back to the Central Plains.

However, Yan Chao's dream was somehow different from what was written in the playbook.

In his dream, the princess learned that her husband had someone else in her heart. She was desperate for a while, and she drew her sword and resolutely pointed it at her neck.

Her fair skin instantly burst out with bright red blood, and the screams of children came from her ears almost at the same time. In an instant, the picture began to become dazed, and the surrounding scenery disappeared. There was only a dripping red in the eyes, and only in the ears. A shrill scream changed its tone.

Yan Chao closed his eyes and covered his ears desperately, struggling to escape from this terrifying red, but to no avail. All this followed him like a shadow, leaving him with no room to escape at all.

His headache seemed to burst open, and his breathing became more and more rapid, as if his throat was being pinched by an invisible hand, as if he was about to suffocate in the next second.

"Yan Chao!"

Yan Chao abruptly sat up from the bed, and there was still scarlet blood in front of him.

He was breathing heavily, his handsome brows twitched together, and after a while, he regained a little consciousness.

His palms were all sweaty, but at this moment they were held together by a pair of cold and dry hands.

Those hands were not wide, but the fingers were slender and soft, which made him feel a strange peace of mind for a moment.

The room was dark, and through the hazy night outside the window, a vague figure gradually appeared in front of him, and called him again, "Yan Chao?"

Yan Chao's breathing calmed down a little, but his tone was still a little flustered: "What happened to me just now?"

The other party held his hand tightly, completely no longer in the usual sloppy tone: "... grabbing my neck and starting to strangle, scaring me to death."

Yan Chao said, "...I'm sorry."

Zhou Chenyu asked again, "Have you had a nightmare?"

Yan Zhao nodded and said in a low voice, "I scare you."

Zhou Chenyu said, "It's okay, fortunately I was woken up by you."

As he said that, he let go of Yan Chao's hand and was about to get up, but was caught off guard by Yan Chao's backhand.

Zhou Chenyu was taken aback by him just now, but now she didn't stand firm, and suddenly fell into Yan Chao's arms.

In the middle of the night, there were no fingers in the room, two big men hugged together on the bed, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little weird for a while.

Zhou Chenyu subconsciously struggled slightly, but the strength in Yan Chao's hand was so great that he couldn't break free for a while.

He had no choice but to call out tentatively, "Yan Chao?"

Yan Chao just fell into a stunned state again, and when he called out softly, he suddenly recovered from his chaotic thoughts.

The strength in his hands relaxed a lot in an instant, but he still didn't let go of Zhou Chenyu.

Yan Chao's appearance was so abnormal that Zhou Chenyu couldn't help but be slightly startled, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.

After a while, he had to pat Yan Chao on the shoulder comfortingly, and said helplessly, "I felt something was wrong with you during the day, and you refused to say..."

Yan Chao didn't speak, just held his hand tightly, as if he was holding on to some life-saving straw.

After an unknown amount of time, he took a deep breath. When he spoke again, his voice was lower than ever before: "Have you heard of PTSD?"

He didn't know why he suddenly hid his secret for 20 years and told the person in front of him who he had known for less than 20 days.

But just as he held these soft hands, the feeling of peace of mind that he had not experienced for a long time made all his shells and disguises collapse in an instant.

The sudden question he had just asked was actually more like a confidant. The moment he said it, it seemed that he had lost a lot of the burden that had been on his heart for a long time.

He didn't expect Zhou Chenyu to say that he had heard of it. After all, this strange mental disorder is not a common disease.

Unexpectedly, the moment Zhou Chenyu heard the word, he subconsciously held his hand back.

Yan Chao suddenly realized that he might know.

The next second, Zhou Chenyu stretched out her hand, hugged him back gently, and whispered in his ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chapter 14 Take him home

When Yan Chao opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, and the autumn sunlight shone into the room through the thin gauze curtain, casting a warm golden glow.

He slept surprisingly well in the second half of the night, without even having another dream.

Seeing him wake up, Zhou Chenyu brought breakfast out of the microwave and greeted him to eat.
