Chapter 313 Reunion in a Dream
Chapter 313 Reunion in a Dream
"You... you..."
Xin Moyan stared wide-eyed, even holding her breath, afraid of disturbing the person in front of her.
A man and a woman were seen holding hands, both dressed in white with black hair, exuding an ethereal aura.
The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a dignified bearing. His features were very similar to his brother's, but he lacked his brother's refined demeanor. Instead, he exuded a ruthless and decisive aura, but his eyes were full of loving kindness.
As for the young woman... she looked exactly like him, and in her other hand she was carrying the Azure Water Sword that her brother always carried. At this moment, she was looking at him with a smile.
"Father? Mother?"
She unconsciously cried out the question in her heart. After all, she had just seen her mother's portrait during the day and knew that she looked just like her mother. Her aunt had also said before that her brother looked just like her father.
Judging from this, the two people in front of her must be her and her brother's biological parents!
"Hehe~ I knew it! Yan'er is so smart, she recognized me at first glance."
Baili Huangxi shook the arm next to him and laughed happily.
Xin Mingji took a big step forward and slowly walked up to him, a hint of surprise in his steady voice.
"Yan'er, do you recognize me?"
She honestly shook her head. "I don't recognize them, but everyone says my brother and I look like our parents, so aren't you our parents?"
"Hmm? Ahahaha~"
Upon hearing his daughter's analysis, Baili Huangxi burst into laughter, reaching out his hands as if cradling some rare treasure, and carefully cupped her cheeks.
Such gentle eyes, and such a realistic touch; the temperature from her palm was neither cold nor hot, not at all like the body temperature of a ghost, which surprised Xin Moyan.
"Yan'er, I'm sorry that your father and mother left so early, leaving my precious daughter to be bullied."
At this moment, Xin Mingji was neither as cold-blooded and ruthless as he was on the battlefield, nor as cheerful and lively as Baili Huangxi. Instead, he resembled a sentimental old father, his face full of guilt and love.
"Father, don't say that! Look how big I am now! It's enough that you and Mother came to me in my dream today and let me see what you look like. Oh, and have you seen my brother? He's just as handsome as you, Father!"
The innate blood ties made Xin Moyan genuinely like her parents, whom she had never met, even though she knew in her heart that she was just dreaming.
"Ok!"
Baili Huangxi nodded in satisfaction, "My dear Yan'er, Mother knows that your brother is very handsome and brave. He has always taken good care of you, except for..."
She choked up halfway through her sentence and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
"Aside from the fact that your father and mother are not by your side, you have all grown up well, and that is enough. Your mother is very happy."
Seeing her suddenly become sad, Xin Moyan, like an elder, reached out and patted Baili Huangxi's shoulder, comforting her, "It's alright! Mother, you can come to my dreams more often to catch up with my brother and me. It would be nice."
"Uh, this..."
Xin Mingji was speechless, unsure how to respond, until Baili Huangxi offered an explanation.
“Yan’er, my dear, your father and mother can’t always come to see you. This time you came to Gu Cang and today you went to the palace where your mother used to live. There is still a piece of my soul power there, so we specially came to meet you in my dream tonight. In the future… I’m afraid there will be no more chances.”
"That's it!"
Xin Moyan felt a pang of disappointment. She had thought that her parents could still visit her brother in his dreams, and that her brother must miss them very much.
"Seeing how well-behaved and adorable Yan'er is today, Father's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. Yan'er, you and Ling'er have a long road ahead of you, so never lose heart easily, understand?"
Xin Mingji gently placed his broad palm on Xin Moyan's head, his eyes filled with love for his daughter, yet also with regret.
"Yes, yes! Don't worry, Father and Mother, I will definitely not be discouraged. I'm still waiting for my brothers to come and find me!"
She suddenly remembered something, bit her lower lip, and seemed unsure how to bring it up.
Seeing her hesitation, Baili Huangxi spoke softly, "Yan'er, your father and mother should go now. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"You're leaving so soon? I haven't... I haven't had a proper chat with you guys yet!"
In an instant, Xin Moyan became anxious, fearing that they would vanish with the wind at any moment.
Baili Huangxi smiled gently, "My dear Yan'er, your father and mother are not by your side. As long as you take good care of yourselves, nothing else will be a problem."
"Mother, that..."
"Ok?"
"Then do you and Father know in heaven that I am not the real Xin Moyan, not your daughter?"
Now that the original owner's biological parents have come, she definitely has to ask them. After all, her brother now treats her like his own sister, but what about these two?
Both of them were taken aback when they heard the question, and a hint of embarrassment appeared in their eyes.
"Um... Yan'er, is it possible that you were originally your father and mother's child?"
"what?"
Xin Moyan was stunned for a long time, and still couldn't understand.
"Haha~"
Baili Huangxi couldn't help but chuckle, slowly raising his hand, his fingers as thin as scallion roots, and affectionately pinching her cheek.
"Yan'er, you are your father and mother's precious daughter! When I gave birth to Ling'er, I knew my fate and wanted to leave Ling'er with a close sibling in this world. A-Ming tried to persuade me for a long time, but I still insisted on my own way. It took a lot of effort to bring you into this world, but your soul power was split in two, with one wisp drifting to another world. I beg A-Ming, in the future tribulation, you must help your soul return."
Xin Moyan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands. She felt dizzy and didn't know how to process what had happened.
"Yan'er, you and Xin Moyan are one, don't blame yourself, don't mind, Mother knows you always think that you are the one who took over Yan'er's body, but you are both Mother's daughters, be good!"
After Baili Huangxi finished speaking, he reached out and gently hugged her, coaxing her tenderly, "Yan'er, your father, mother, and brother will always love you, and there are many other people who love you too. You must be strong."
"Mother... Mother."
Her nose stung, and she buried her face in Baili Huangxi's arms and began to sob.
"Don't cry, Yan'er!"
Baili Huangxi turned around and glared at him, "Xin Mingji, didn't you miss your daughter? Why don't you even dare to hug her now that you're right in front of her?"
"Can... I do it?"
Xin Mingji swallowed hard, his hands raised in mid-air, looking particularly uneasy.
"Hurry up, there's no time."
At his command, Xin Mingji rushed forward, his robes fluttering slightly. He gently embraced his wife and daughter, his face beaming with happiness.
"Yan'er, Daddy loves you too..."
