Su Yu, I'm Back (18)

"Tiantian, you're… still up?"

"I'm scared."

Wearing a white cotton sleeping gown, Tiantian walked slowly to Shen Mingxi's side on bare feet.

"Why didn't you put on shoes? It's cold on the floor." Shen Mingxi glanced at the child's feet and frowned.

"I had a nightmare, Uncle Shen."

"What's up?"

Not in the mood to talk to the kid, his tone was dismissive. 

But to his surprise, Tiantian walked over and sat on his lap, leaning her small body on his wide chest.

"Uncle Shen, I had a scary dream… I dreamed my mom died. Her face was covered in blood and she kept yelling for help."

If it was in the past, Shen Mingxi wouldn't show any reaction. 

After all, he didn't care about Huo Yanyan anymore.

But tonight…

Tiantian's words made him shiver violently.

"Uncle Shen, are you okay?"

Tiantian looked up and saw Shen Mingxi's dark expression; she asked innocently.
