Yun Shishi stayed in the room with Youyou till late, when Little Yichen came into the room. Even though she did not say so, the boy could sense that she was exhausted, so he did not pester her but simply urged, “Mommy, you should go to bed!”
Yun Shishi was still worried, though, and continued to hold Youyou in her arms, showing no signs of letting go.
When the boy saw this, he said helplessly, “Mommy, you obviously don’t think much of me as a brother! Don’t worry, I’ll stay with Youyou. If he doesn’t want to sleep, I’ll play games with him. If he wants to sleep, I won’t disturb him.”
Youyou pouted. “I don’t want to sleep or play games.” He really had no interest in games, they were too inane. But he didn’t want to go to bed so early either. Even though he was tired, and the afternoon nap had only served to exhaust him even more because of the bad dream, he was reluctant to sleep. He was worried about entering into another series of nightmares. He was afraid that his sanity would not be able to withstand it.
Little Yichen suggested, “Then I shall accompany you to the study to read!”!!
“Okay.” Youyou turned to Yun Shishi and said to her, “Hurry up and go to bed, Mommy. How are you going to take care of me if you don’t rest? Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Despite her own sense of unease, Little Yichen was around so she nodded reluctantly.
In addition, she was also tired by now, so she stood up and repeatedly reminded Little Yichen to take good care of Youyou, before reluctantly returning to her room.
After she had left, Youyou did not go to the study. Instead, he lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling without speaking.
Little Yichen saw him lying like this and asked curiously, “You look tired and your eyes are red. Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“I don’t feel like sleeping.”
“Afraid of nightmares?” Little Yichen smiled and continued, “I’ve had my share of bad dreams, but no matter how realistic they are, they can’t be real. I think it’s because you’re usually under too much pressure. That’s why you have terrible nightmares when such powerful negative energy accompanies you into your dreams.”
The boy turned to him, frowning and seemingly a little impatient. “Do you really understand what it’s like to have nightmares?”
Little Yichen looked startled.
“If it’s possible, I never want to dream such terrible dreams again.” Youyou closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them weakly. Because he did not sleep well, he was in a daze.
Once a person lacks proper sleep, they generally may become abnormally anxious.
As gentle as Youyou was, he was a little anxious at the moment. He threw his pillow violently against the cabinet .
Little Yichen was taken aback by his abruptness, but did not dare to speak, for fear that an unintentional remark would make the boy even more anxious. He kept silent.
Youyou’s temper was slowly slipping out of control. He rolled over heavily, snatched all the blankets, and wrapped them around himself, covering himself.
Little Yichen looked at him helplessly, maintaining his silence. Then, he went to the cupboard and took out another blanket. Trying his best to avoid provoking Youyou, he carefully spread the blanket on the bed and climbed in, curling up pitifully.
Youyou saw the cautious movements beside him and lifted the blanket to take a look. Despite his rage, he was at once amused to see his twin brother so ill at ease.
“What’s the matter with you? You look pathetic. As if I bullied you.”
