Chapter 11: Chapter 6: The Black Princess's Strange Dream

So, this was what she called a white lie, not lying; really, it wasn't.

As expected, the Nanny just took a few extra looks at her finger, which was wrapped layer upon layer, said a few more things, and left after setting down some food. Li Hong ate until she was full. Originally, she had wanted to go do some exercises, but in the end, her stomach was just too bloated, so she walked a circle around the room and already felt tired.

She let out a yawn. Whatever time it was, she would deal with it after waking up.

She sprawled out on the bed and pulled the quilt over herself casually. Perhaps she was truly exhausted, as her head fell asleep the moment it touched the pillow. She didn't know if her sleeping posture was good or not, but she knew that as long as she was sleeping comfortably, that was enough.

The door creaked open; she heard it, but she just didn't want to wake up. She felt someone tuck the quilt around her, then say something, and finally leave on tiptoe. She knew all of this, but she didn't want to open her eyes, until she turned over and fell back into a deep sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a very strange place. She sat up and looked around curiously; it was bare and empty, with nothing but a well. She turned around and leaned over the well opening. Hmm, there should be water inside...

As a result, with a *pfft* sound, the well suddenly sprayed out a large amount of water, hitting her right in the face. The water was ice-cold, making her shiver uncontrollably.

Could you give a warning before popping out? She wiped her face and hurriedly jumped away. Her feet landed on soft soil, feeling just like stepping on sand; it was quite comfortable. She didn't know if this body was naturally playful, but even she began to act childish, jumping around on the ground from time to time.

After jumping wildly, she stopped caring about her clothes and eventually lay down on the ground, sprawled out, and fell asleep. The scent she could smell in the air was a very fresh, watery aroma mixed with the fragrance of earth. The air here was much fresher than outside, and lying on this ground felt soft and warm, just like lying on a beach. It was especially comfortable.

She let out a yawn.

*Sigh*, this dream was truly too wonderful. With just that sigh, she fell asleep. This sleep was exceptionally deep, and she was still asleep when the Nanny came to wake her.

"Princess, wake up..."

The sound coming to her ears truly disturbed her sweet dream. She didn't want to get up, but the voice continued.

"Princess, wake up, it's time for dinner. Otherwise, you'll be crying from hunger again tonight."

Li Hong tried hard to brush away that voice. Seriously, how could she cry from hunger? That wasn't something Li Hong would do. As a strong, independent woman, she absolutely could not cry.

"Princess, wake up..." The voice came again.

Li Hong sat up abruptly and opened her eyes wide, only to see the Nanny staring at her as if she were a ghost.

"Hi, hello," she greeted the Nanny with a stiff, insincere smile, and then, she flopped back down, intending to sleep again.

The Nanny reached out and placed her hand on Li Hong's forehead. "It's not hot, but why is your temperament becoming increasingly strange?"

Li Hong couldn't help but roll her eyes. Of course it wasn't hot; she wasn't sick. Besides, this was her original temperament; one could only say she wasn't a fool anymore.

She couldn't help but rub against the quilt on her body. The quilt was soft and warm, but no matter what, it didn't feel like the beach she had slept on yesterday. Why did she want to sleep on that beach again so badly? And this time, she opened her eyes wide, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

It wasn't until the Nanny brought her dinner that she sat up, staring blankly at the food on the table.

As expected, it was just a dream...
