NOVEL NEXT Chapter 105: Beautiful Dream
Xiao Yan felt strange at the moment.
It seemed like he had done something very enjoyable, so pleasant that he couldn’t distinguish if it was real or just a dream.
Looking at the moving figure in front of him, Xiao Yan had an inexplicable feeling. It seemed that the person in front of him was a beautiful woman.
He felt a strong desire to see her face clearly.
Accompanied by his intense desire, the woman’s face gradually became clear.
Finally, Xiao Yan could see her stunning and mesmerizing beauty. Silver-white long hair, gem-like red eyes, and a face radiating a captivating blush.
Yao Chen?!
In that instant, Xiao Yan’s body was covered in cold sweat. He quickly sat up, looking at the stone wall in front of him with horror. His eyes darted around, but he didn’t see Yao Chen.
Clearly, the scene just now was a dream.
“It was a dream… It was just a dream…”
Xiao Yan covered his face with both hands and took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
How could I have such thoughts about my teacher, even if it was just a dream? It’s unacceptable.
Xiao Yan slowly lowered his hands, feeling deeply remorseful.
Yao Chen was undoubtedly incredibly beautiful, but she was his teacher. Even in a dream, Xiao Yan shouldn’t have had such fantasies. It was a complete violation!
How could I have such a dream?
Xiao Yan couldn’t understand it.
He knew he wasn’t someone without desires or aspirations; occasionally, he would have impure thoughts in his mind. After all, he was a human, a young man in his prime. It was impossible for any normal person with feelings to avoid such thoughts.
But those impure desires could be restrained.
Xiao Yan was well aware of what he could and couldn’t do.
Besides, Xiao Yan truly admired Yao Chen from the bottom of his heart. In that case, even if it was a dream, he shouldn’t have dreamed of such a scene.
However, the dream felt too real…
Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead, feeling like he had forgotten something important.
What happened last night…
Xiao Yan tried hard to recall what had happened before he fell asleep. Suddenly, his face turned pale.
Yun Zhi!
!
Xiao Yan’s eyes swept around the cave once again, but he didn’t see Yun Zhi’s figure. He immediately got off the bed and was about to leave the cave when he bumped into a graceful figure. It was the person he had wanted to find, Yun Zhi, holding a roasted fish in her hand.
“Xiao Yan, are you awake?”
Seeing Xiao Yan, Yun Zhi was initially taken aback, but she then smiled gently.
Her smile was unparalleled, incredibly beautiful, making Xiao Yan mesmerized for a moment.
No, that’s not right!
!
However, after a moment of bewilderment, Xiao Yan quickly shook his head, looking at Yun Zhi with anxiety.
“Yun Zhi, did I do anything to you yesterday?!”
“Hmm?” Yun Zhi raised an eyebrow at Xiao Yan’s words and asked in return, “Do something? What are you talking about?”
“It’s just… well…”
As Xiao Yan was about to speak, he held back and couldn’t bring himself to ask Yun Zhi directly if he had done anything inappropriate to her.
After struggling for a while in his mind, Xiao Yan finally asked in a more subtle way, “Did I do anything… impolite to you yesterday?”
“Impolite? What are you talking about?” Yun Zhi tilted her head, showing a puzzled expression. “After eating the roasted meat yesterday, we went to sleep. What could be impolite about that?”
“Huh? Is that so?”
Yun Zhi’s sincere words left Xiao Yan stunned, and he tightly furrowed his brows.
Could it be… that it was all a dream from start to finish?
But that dream felt too real.
Thinking about almost kissing Yun Zhi yesterday, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but feel his face flush.
The memory was so vivid that Xiao Yan couldn’t believe it was just a dream.
As Yun Zhi calmly passed by him and placed the grilled fish on the stone table, she said, “I just caught this in the river. Although it’s my first time grilling fish, I tried it, and it tastes fine.” Then she walked towards the entrance of the cave, saying, “You go ahead and eat. I’ll fetch some water.”
“Uh… okay…”
Xiao Yan nodded dumbly, watching Yun Zhi’s figure as she left the cave.
Recalling Yun Zhi’s completely normal expression from earlier, Xiao Yan hesitated and scratched his chin.
Could it really have been a dream?
At this moment, Xiao Yan thought of Yao Chen and asked inwardly, “Senior Yao, I didn’t do anything yesterday, right?”
After a few seconds, Yao Chen’s voice came slowly, “(Rest assured, you didn’t do anything.)”
“Is that so…”
Hearing Yao Chen’s extremely certain answer, Xiao Yan patted his chest and let out a deep sigh of relief.
Thank goodness! Otherwise, I would have to apologize with my life.
The disparity between Yun Zhi’s status and myself is immense, and it’s not something I can touch or even think about having a relationship with her.
Really… I must have been training too intensely lately, causing my mind to go haywire.
Xiao Yan helplessly patted his head, and the enticing face of Yao Chen from the dream echoed in his mind. He immediately shook his head.
No! If that happens again, my heart won’t be able to take it!
I won’t engage in physical training today; I’ll focus on meditation to avoid any more wild thoughts, even if they are just dreams.
Deciding so, Xiao Yan sat down at the stone table, picked up a piece of grilled fish, and took a bite.
“Mmm~ It tastes good!”
Watching Xiao Yan enjoy the grilled fish, Yao Chen in the ring sighed lightly and looked outside the cave.
Well… since this is her choice, then let it be for now. I’ll tell Little Yan when the time is right.
As Yao Chen thought this way, outside the cave, Yun Zhi squatted by the river, her head buried deeply between her knees, her ears completely red.
I did… I really did…
Yun Zhi!
What on earth were you doing?!
He’s your disciple’s fiancé!
Yun Zhi’s mind was in a mess, and she genuinely had no idea what had gotten into her yesterday!
If it were meat grilled by Xiao Yan, Yun Zhi would have had a reason to suspect that Xiao Yan might have added something to it. But given Xiao Yan’s integrity, Yun Zhi didn’t believe he would do such a thing.
The crucial problem was that she grilled the meat herself yesterday! She had already tasted the seasoning beforehand! There was absolutely no issue!
Even more importantly, Yun Zhi was completely conscious when she was with Xiao Yan last night. She was acutely aware that she wanted to do those things! She just didn’t know why she acted on it!
Seeing Xiao Yan looking frightened earlier, Yun Zhi struggled hard to hide any hints of what happened.
But whenever she saw Xiao Yan, Yun Zhi couldn’t help but recall the madness from last night. She couldn’t believe she had gone that far!
Damn it… damn it…
Yun Zhi cursed herself in her heart, her face extremely red, but her eyes flickered with joy.
For the first time, she felt something for Xiao Yan, a boy who made her feel a good impression, even though he was just a boy.
But at the same time, beneath the joy, there was an indescribable sadness.
Deep inside, she reminded herself again.
Xiao Yan is Yanran’s fiancé, the person Yanran likes.
And I am Yanran’s teacher.
This thought lingered in Yun Zhi’s mind, and her embarrassment gradually faded, replaced by an unspeakable sorrow with a hint of grievance.
Just… let it be a dream…
Consider it a dream that only I know about, something I won’t mention to anyone.
Yun Zhi lifted her head slowly, her eyes filled with determination.
Yun Zhi, you are the sect master of Yunlan Sect and Yanran’s teacher.
You must understand who you are.
And who Xiao Yan is.
