Wei Cheng touched her hair with a smile, "Really, I think she will dislike me for being too sensational."

Ke Lvyan shrugged his shoulders, as if to say why not give it a try.

"So, is there anything else?"

Wei Cheng became serious, "I'm not sure about one more thing."

Ke Luyan raised his eyebrows with interest, "Why don't you tell me?"

Wei Cheng sorted out her words, and said carefully: "Also, I found that she would have nightmares when she sleeps at night." She said while observing Ke Lvyan's reaction.

Ke Lvyan's expression didn't change, "I think it's a normal thing to have nightmares?"

"But I don't think this is an ordinary nightmare." Wei Cheng said cautiously, "Otherwise, I wouldn't bring it up and say it."

Ke Luyan motioned for her to continue.

"I think she's been having the same dream. I don't know what the dream is about, but I think it's a horrible dream because she's been..."

"I'm sorry to interrupt. You never asked her? I remember Ah Zhi said that she would share a room with you as soon as she went to China. How many years would it take?" Ke Lvyan deliberately calculated.

"Uh, I'm sorry." Wei Cheng licked her lips helplessly, twisted her fingers again, and finally her tone became firm, "But I don't think I should expose her scars without permission. She was already in pain in the dream, and I shouldn't." In reality, it reminded her of the scene in her dream."

Ke Lvyan's posture relaxed, "Oh, of course, you are right."

She signaled Wei Cheng to continue, and a thought flashed in Wei Cheng's mind, as if Ke Lvyan, who had always been polite and friendly to her before, was just a layer of superficiality, and now the other party's purpose—no matter what Wei Cheng didn't know about it, had already been achieved Now, she no longer needs to pretend to herself.

Wei Cheng breathed out, letting herself relax a little after mentioning the nightmare, "She kept yelling 'please' in her dream, I don't know what it means, I mean I don't know this word in her What is the meaning of the dream."

Wei Cheng has been observing Ke Lvyan. At this second, she found that the other party closed his eyes tiredly, and opened them again less than half a second later, and the frowning brows disappeared with the opening of the eyes.

"She was begging." Wei Cheng said, "It was very painful, and she begged helplessly." The most recent time was when she was about to come to London.

Ke Luyan clenched his hands that had naturally drooped since Wei Cheng mentioned the dream, and then loosened them again in the next second. Wei Cheng did not miss the opponent's move, and the opponent's fist used all his strength at that moment. Clenched tightly, the white joints and the blood vessels on the back of the hand that are about to pop out of the skin can prove it.

Wei Cheng thought that she might have accidentally touched on some key points, for example... "I think, the scar on her wrist bone is also..." Wei Cheng didn't say it, because the first half of the sentence was enough to mislead the other party to say nothing error.If the other party denies it, she can change her words, "It was also deliberately caused when I was a child, right?"

Ke Luyan sighed softly, her toughness disappeared from her body from this second, Wei Cheng could only feel a tired soul, "Yes, the scar on her wrist is also related to her dream... ..."

Wei Cheng's breathing stopped, and she subconsciously combined the two in her mind... "That must have been a bad past." She murmured.

"Yes, it was very bad and almost ruined her." Ke Lvyan said in a low voice, "Although it is not good to disclose her privacy without authorization, but since we are all in another country and you are the closest person to her, I must say , no, I must beg you."

Wei Cheng tensed her body subconsciously.

"Please pay attention to her mental state."

Wei Cheng held her breath, "You mean..."

"We suspect that she has PTSD, but her psychiatrist said she can still hold on and is slowly developing in a good direction."

Wei Cheng recalled the "Please" on the eve of London, she took a few heavy breaths, and only now felt the fresh air pouring into her parched lungs.

"I will." She replied seriously, "I promise I won't let anything happen to her."

Ke Luyan slowly showed a sincere smile, "Thank you."

Wei Cheng still felt stuffy in her head, she needed to find a place to relax, "Uh, I want to take a breath."

Ke Luyan took a step sideways, lowered his head slightly, and lowered his eyelids, "Of course, please go ahead."

Wei Cheng quickly walked out of the study, walked through the living room and the corridor, opened the door and stood in the yard before taking a big breath.

Then she remembered that she forgot to ask Ke Luyan what happened to the child before.

The next second she thought about it, it was useless to ask, just like she would hide many things for Ke Zhiyan, Ke Lvyan would definitely hide these things that Ke Zhiyan never mentioned to her.

There was a dog barking in the distance from time to time, and after 1 minute, the sound subsided, but it got closer, accompanied by a lively girl's voice: "Hey, Hel, if you dare to let go in the future, just go wandering by yourself!"

"Wang Wang!"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious, let me tell you, that witch Ke Luyan hates you very much, no, she hates all life, and she is not as patient as I am, so wait until the next time she sneaks on you and run away If you don’t listen to the instructions or don’t listen to the command, then Ke Luyan will definitely ignore you and go home directly!”

"Wang!"

"When she gets home, she will lock the door. If you can find it but you can't get in, she will deny you dog food as punishment... Ah, by the way, today your afternoon tea is cancelled. , the reason is that you are disobedient."

"..."

It took a long time for Wei Cheng's sluggish mind to continue to function. The noise from outside the yard came in, and she slowly realized that Ke Zhiyan had brought Hel back.

Sure enough, less than 5 minutes later, Ke Zhiyan appeared at the gate of the courtyard. The moment he saw Wei Cheng, doubts appeared on his face, but soon changed into a smiling face, with eyebrows and eyes bent, a typical smile when facing Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng remembered Ke Luyan's words and her guesses, as well as the children's panicked dreams in many nights in the past.

She smiled at the child in front of her with almost red eyes, "Zhiyan."

"Huh?" Ke Zhiyan was about to come over, but when she heard her call her name, she obediently stood still, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Wei Cheng controlled her emotions, "Tired?"

Ke Zhiyan thought for a while, then smiled lightly, "It's okay, it's not as good as a training session."

Wei Cheng nodded, and Ke Zhiyan almost couldn't wait to go around her, "Then I'll go in first, I need to take a shower and change clothes, just now I sweated all over to catch Hel."

Wei Cheng's absence lasted until afternoon tea time.

Mama Ke and Papa Ke magically brought out the traditional three-tier dim sum porcelain plate from the kitchen, on which pastries have been placed from top to bottom.

Wei Cheng was both familiar and unfamiliar with this, she whispered to Ke Zhiyan, "Are you sure this isn't "Downton Abbey"?"

Ke Zhiyan stared at Ke's mother who was setting up, and glanced around, "Sandwiches, scones, macarons, cakes... Did she vacate the restaurant in London with Papa this afternoon?"

"I thought they were just going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients." Ke Lvyan said to Wei Cheng seriously: "Believe me, our daily life is definitely not so... pompous."

"At most scones and fruit cream cake." Ke Zhiyan snorted, "At least there are no macarons."

"Looks like it's specially made for you two." Ke Lvyan smiled, "How about some tea?"

At this time, Mama Ke also greeted the three people standing aside, "Girls, come and take a seat, the bell has already struck four times."

"Everything in the world must stop for tea." Ke Zhiyan and Ke Lvyan said in unison, and then they pointed to Wei Cheng sitting on the arm sofa closest to the round coffee table, and the two of them sat next to her, Ke Zhiyan approached the fireplace, Ke Luyan approached her parents.

Ke's mother didn't sit down, she kept greeting everyone, Wei Cheng was a little restless, but she vaguely felt that this seemed to be a default approach, "Uh, do I need help?" She asked Ke Zhiyan in a low voice.

"No, this is done by the hostess, and you don't need to refill your tea, just enjoy it."

"However, there are not so many rules in our family. Of course, you can make your own tea and dessert." Ke Lvyan added with a smile on the other side.

Mother Ke was about to make tea, so she asked Wei Cheng directly after asking Father Ke, "Honey, what kind of tea do you want? Darjeeling? Ceylon black tea? Or Keemun black tea?"

Wei Cheng was stunned. She knew nothing about tea. When she was in China, she often drank plain water or a special energy drink. I searched for a can of unknown green tea bought at a corner tea shop and soaked it in a cup before adding hot water.

But now it's obviously out of date, she even saw the colander in Mama Ke's hand, not to mention the bone china tea set and pastries that Ke Zhiyan mentioned yesterday.

Ke Zhiyan made a proper suggestion: "I recommend you to drink Keemun, because it comes from China, and it will suit your taste better. Ceylon black tea is also good, and the quality is the best in this season. As for Darjeeling...I personally don't like it very much. I like picking tea in autumn."

Wei Cheng blinked, she didn't miss Ke's mother's smile after Ke Zhiyan spoke.After Ke Zhiyan finished speaking, he looked at Mama Ke again: "I want Ceylon black tea, thank you."

"I think Ceylon black tea is really a good suggestion." Ke Lvyan said to Wei Cheng politely.

"Ah, yes, then I want Ceylon black tea too, thank you." Wei Cheng showed a friendly smile.

"I want Qimen, and I heard that Papa also chose it." Ke Luyan let out a sincere smile.

After each of them has a cup of tea, they can enjoy the pastries. Wei Cheng has a vague impression of this: "Uh, eat from the bottom up, right?"

"Yes." Ke Zhiyan said, "This time it's still Downton?"

"No, it's "Sherlock"."

Ke Zhiyan smiled and took a piece of scone from the middle, broke it and spread some jam, "But our family is not so particular, if you don't like sandwiches, you can eat scones or cakes directly. Try this, it's soft and delicious , not very sweet, it can be used as an appetizer pastry.”

"Then you can take a sip of tea, and the flavors of the two will combine in your mouth. This is the charm of afternoon tea." Ke Lvyan pointed his head from one side.

Ke Zhiyan rolled his eyes again, "Can't you just stay by yourself for a while?"

Ke Lvyan spread his hands innocently: "It's just a friendly suggestion."

"You two girls, why can't you enjoy the beauty of afternoon tea?" Mama Ke stood in front of them at some point, and Wei Cheng was amused to see that the two who were fighting each other just now were holding their teacups in silence. .

"Go ahead, settle the matter between you first and then come back." Mother Ke was pushing someone away, and Ke Zhiyan said anxiously, "There is nothing between us..."

Ke Luyan pulled her in time, Ke Zhiyan shut his mouth, Ke Luyan smiled, "Come on, let's go to the backyard to get some air."

Ke Zhiyan drank all the tea in the cup in a very rude manner, then wiped his mouth with a napkin, and reluctantly followed Ke Lvyan to the backyard.

Today was a fine day, with plenty of sunshine but not too high a temperature. When Ke Zhiyan opened the back door, he saw Ke Lvyan leaning against the shadow of the eaves one step ahead of her.

Hearing the movement, Ke Lvyan turned his head symbolically and asked, "What do you think they will talk about?"
