Shi Nian did not know how long she had been asleep, only that she had had a long dream. The dream seemed to last a lifetime, narrating all the past experiences she had gone through.
That night, she slept soundly, her heart at peace, enabling a deep and restful sleep.
Thus, when she was awakened by Jieyou early the next morning, she stretched widely and felt relaxed, her spirits high.
Upon opening her eyes, the first thing that greeted her was golden light, like strands of gold forcefully spread out, diffusing across the entire world in her sight.
Then, within that gold radiance appeared Jieyou's face. Little Jieyou seemed like an angel of pure beauty, with features that stirred Shi Nian's heart quietly.
Seeing Shi Nian open her eyes, Jieyou cheerfully climbed onto her, snuggled in Shi Nian's arms, and happily exclaimed "Mommy."
