In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 212: Jinzhi, It Was Just a Dream

Seeing Xu Jinzhi not speaking, Xie Yanchuan asked again, "Jinzhi, what’s wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Xu Jinzhi just looked at the man in front of her, her eyes brimming with a mix of indescribable emotions. She opened her mouth again, but when the words reached her lips, she forgot them once more.

She had no idea what she wanted to say.

Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi’s expression with some confusion and puzzlement. He patiently asked again, "Jinzhi, what do you really want to say? Has something happened?"

Xu Jinzhi wanted to say yes, but what exactly had happened?

She had forgotten. She had forgotten everything and had no idea what had happened.

Xu Jinzhi said somewhat dejectedly, "I forgot."

Xie Yanchuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled tenderly, "You can be so muddled too."

Hearing Xie Yanchuan’s gentle tone, Xu Jinzhi did not speak.

Actually, Xu Jinzhi was a bit impatient because she felt she had forgotten something very important, but she really couldn’t remember it now.

What had she forgotten?

Xu Jinzhi racked her brains but couldn’t figure it out.

Xie Yanchuan continued, "Jinzhi, I have a business trip next week. I’m attending a seminar with the dean. It’ll be tough on you to look after Tuantuan at home."

As Xie Yanchuan’s gentle words fell, in a flash of lightning, Xu Jinzhi finally remembered what she had forgotten!

"No, you can’t!" Xu Jinzhi almost shouted out.

You can’t go on the business trip; you will die!

The moment she opened her eyes, Xu Jinzhi breathed heavily, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and she felt as if her soul had left her body.

"Jinzhi, what’s wrong?"

Xu Jinzhi’s breathing was rapid, the sound filling her ears, accompanied by a familiar voice, Xu Jinzhi instinctively looked to the side.

"Jinzhi, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Xie Yanchuan, already anxious, switched on the bedside lamp, squinting through the discomfort to look at Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi gradually came to her senses, endured the glaring light, anxiety in her eyes, but the next moment, a flash of panic crossed her eyes. Her voice was very soft, even trembling as she called out, "Xie Yanchuan."

"I’m here." Xie Yanchuan promptly responded, then continued to ask, "What happened just now? Did you have a nightmare?"

Xu Jinzhi looked at the man in front of her, eyes fixed on him as if afraid he would vanish if she blinked.

A good long while passed.

"Jinzhi..." Xie Yanchuan continued.

Xu Jinzhi’s eyes instantly reddened, her voice somewhat hoarse, "Xie Yanchuan, I just had a nightmare."

She had just had a nightmare about her past life, where Xie Yanchuan had solved a tough problem, and then they were invited by another school to attend an academic exchange.

And it was that academic exchange that made Xie Yanchuan never return to her side again!

Xu Jinzhi could no longer remember what experiment Xie Yanchuan had done before attending the academic exchange last life.

But Xu Jinzhi vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the same as the one she attended today!

At that thought, panic uncontrollably welled up in Xu Jinzhi’s heart. The same?

How could it be the same?

Xu Jinzhi turned over to sit up from the bed, but because she was weak all over, she couldn’t sit up for a moment. Luckily, Xie Yanchuan was there to support her so she didn’t fall back down.

"Jinzhi." Xie Yanchuan furrowed his brows. He didn’t know what terrible thing Xu Jinzhi had dreamt, but she was indeed a bit panicked.

Xie Yanchuan felt an inexplicable sense of worry.

Xu Jinzhi quickly asked, "Xie Yanchuan, aren’t you going on a business trip next week?"

"Ah?" Xie Yanchuan was taken aback, then shook his head, "I haven’t received any notice, and I’m not prepared for that."

"Not going?" Xu Jinzhi confirmed again.

Xie Yanchuan still shook his head, "No."

Indeed, there was no business trip planned, and in just half a month, the school would be almost on holiday.

The thoughts in Xu Jinzhi’s mind were all jumbled together, completely chaotic.

But she relaxed a bit before speaking weakly to Xie Linchuan, "Then, could you please not go on any business trips for a while?"

She really couldn’t remember anymore what the seminar they were invited to in her previous life was all about.

She didn’t know if it was actually today that the seminar took place.

All she wanted was for Xie Yanchuan not to go on a business trip, not to leave her!

"Jinzhi, it was just a nightmare, don’t be afraid," Xie Yanchuan said, having detected the panic in Xu Jinzhi’s words, and hurried to comfort her.

But Xu Jinzhi wouldn’t let it go and clung to Xie Yanchuan, "Xie Yanchuan, that dream was too frightening! Please don’t leave me these days, all right?"

Only Xu Jinzhi knew clearly that it wasn’t just a dream!

She continued to beseech Xie Linchuan, "Would you please not go on any business trips?"

Xu Jinzhi was very emotional, gripping Xie Yanchuan’s hand without letting go, utterly unaware of her current unusual behavior.

Xie Yanchuan didn’t understand why Xu Jinzhi was so frightened, but he knew he couldn’t let her continue to panic like this, so he quickly agreed, "Okay, I promise you, I won’t go anywhere."

Hearing Xie Yanchuan’s assurance, Xu Jinzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and instantly went limp in his embrace.

Xie Yanchuan held Xu Jinzhi, gently soothing her.

As time ticked away, Xie Yanchuan didn’t know if Xu Jinzhi had calmed down yet, he could only keep comforting her, "Jinzhi, it was only a dream."

With her eyes lowered, Xu Jinzhi murmured in her heart, no, it’s not, it’s not just a dream.

You truly left me.

You don’t know, during the days you were gone, I wasn’t as happy as I thought I would be.

Not anymore.

"Don’t be afraid, I am here, rest easy and sleep," Xie Yanchuan knew nothing, he just spoke soothingly to Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi was tired, but at that moment, she couldn’t sleep, feeling completely devoid of sleepiness.

Yet as Xu Jinzhi thought this, she soon fell asleep in Xie Yanchuan’s arms.

Realizing that Xu Jinzhi had fallen asleep, Xie Yanchuan finally breathed a bit easier.

He looked at Xu Jinzhi, who still frowned in her sleep, and felt a deep sense of heartache, and could not help but kiss her brows and eyes.

The following day.

When Xu Jinzhi woke up again, she felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and her eyes were so dry it was painful.

She murmured unconsciously, and immediately there was movement beside her; Xie Yanchuan came to the bedside and gently asked Xu Jinzhi, "Jinzhi, are you awake?"

"Mhm," Xu Jinzhi felt uncomfortable and responded vaguely.

"You’re running a bit of a fever," Xie Yanchuan said, "No going to the company today. Stay at home and get some good rest."
