In the dream, a third brother, whose face was somewhat unclear, handed her a chubby white Illusion Insect, muttering something.
She couldn't quite hear, only vaguely recognizing that it was the third brother's voice by her ear.
She took the Illusion Insect and smiled happily.
In the years following, the third brother never returned, but the Illusion Insect was always by her side, as if the third brother was accompanying her.
Until a few years ago, the Illusion Insect disappeared, and no matter how long she searched, she couldn't find it.
With all three brothers away, the Illusion Insect, given to her by her third brother, was probably the only source of comfort by her side.
But the Illusion Insect vanished too, making her feel alone once more.
Her eyes glistened with a hint of tears, and Su Ruan bit her lip lightly, struggling to wake up from the dream.
"Ruan Ruan." A warm embrace pulled her close, with a familiar deep voice at her ear.
