Chapter 101 - Comforting dream

Jian felt like he was floating—no, drifting—through a soft sea of cotton candy. Everything around him was gentle and warm, like clouds soaked in sunlight. A gentle hum resonated through the space, like a lullaby hummed by the wind.

He wasn't cold. He wasn't in pain. He wasn't anything but… comforted.

Then, he felt it.

Two hands, warm and soft as silk, wrapped around him with such tenderness that his eyes, though shut, brimmed with a sudden sense of security he didn't know he'd been missing. The scent of milk drifted around him—creamy, fresh, soothing. A scent that made him want to curl up and sleep forever.

A voice, so soft and sweet, whispered words in a language he'd never learned.

But somehow, he understood.

"My baby… you little impatient one, you came so quickly."

The words danced through him like the brush of a breeze in spring.
