catch the dream

At that moment, Yu Hao felt his blood stop flowing.

He saw what it looked like in the general's helmet, but there was nothing in the helmet.

Yes, there was nothing, where the head should have been, there was a blur of mist and light.

"You... General?" Yu Hao murmured, and stretched out his hand to touch where his face should have been, but his fingers went through the mist.

"I'm not human," said the general. "Actually, I don't know what I am."

Yu Hao stared at him blankly.

The general said: "I travel through your consciousness. I have no body and have nothing to do with your real world. So, you should understand."

Tears welled up in Yu Hao's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Thank you, General, can I give you something?"

The general put on his helmet and said in a daze, "You want to give me something?"

Yu Hao raised his hand towards the totem, and a little golden light from the totem spilled out, forming a golden trajectory along the air, and turned into a shield in Yu Hao's hands.

"For you." Yu Hao said, "This is the strongest shield in my heart. Will you go into other people's dreams in the future?"

"This..." The general was a little at a loss for a moment.

Yu Hao pushed the shield towards him, and the general said, "Give me the totem, is it alright?"

Yu Hao motioned the general to look at the totem, it was still there, but the light had weakened a little imperceptibly.

"If possible, I would like to give you the entire totem." Yu Hao said, "I don't really want to put a shield in my heart."

The general said to himself: "It's the first time someone gave me... something from the world of consciousness, or... a totem. I don't know if I can take it away."

The general lowered his head, raised his hand, touched the shield, raised his head again, stared at Yu Hao, and suddenly said, "Are you serious?"

Yu Hao said, "Of course!"

The general said, "Do you know what you gave me?"

Yu Hao insisted: "Of course I know!"

The general was holding the shield, his hands trembling uncontrollably, Yu Hao said again: "This shield will protect you for me."

"Then I... accept it." The general took the shield, swiped his right hand, and carried it on his back gracefully.

Immediately, Yu Hao hugged him.

"Thank you." Yu Hao whispered.

The general raised his hand and patted Yu Hao's head.

"Good night."

These two words were like a magical spell, the general turned into light powder, and flew away with a bang, Yu Hao flew into the air in an instant, slowly let go of his hands, and looked at the air in disbelief.

"Good night." Yu Hao said.

The sun shone on his face, Yu Hao opened his eyes instantly, sat up from the bed, and put his hand on his forehead.He forgot to draw the curtains in the dormitory last night, and the sunlight happened to come in obliquely from the angle outside the balcony, falling on his lower berth.

Seven thirty-five, no!late!Yu Hao hurriedly got up, and suddenly found that the phone didn't ring.

Oh, no class this morning... Yu Hao was exhausted, so he lay back.The roommates all fell asleep with their heads covered. Yu Hao opened his eyes and looked at the upper bunk. Scenes in the dreamland flashed by. At this moment, he was not sad or excited. Instead, his mind was peaceful.

The morning sun shone on Zhou Sheng's dry sportswear jacket, which exuded the smell of soft soap. Ying Shi woke up in the morning light, and the bicycle bell rang from time to time to rush up to the balcony and jump into the room.

Ying City's winter is very suitable for sleeping in the sun. The whole city seems to know it by heart, and consciously shifted the working hours back by half an hour.The unit defaults to not doing business before 09:30, the university defaults not to talk about new knowledge points before 08:30, and the default of residential buildings does not order takeaway or rush express delivery before 11:30... If it is said that Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are like a fire-breathing dragon running wildly, Everyone keeps moving forward, Ying City, a second-tier city in central China, is like a staggering behemoth, driving lazily and slowly.

Yu Hao once thought about leaving here, but because his hometown left him with few good memories.As if leaving home, it will be a new beginning.But he had to admit that the rebirth had nothing to do with time or place.

Even if the troubles are far from over, after the sun still rises, a new beginning has quietly arrived.

As soon as Yu Hao went to the library to sit down and spread out his notes, he received a message from Chen Yekai - Mr. Shi promised to meet tomorrow afternoon, and the specific location will be notified separately, so that Yu Hao can prepare to arrange a time.

Yu Hao was no longer afraid of them, so he answered yes, and then asked if he had anything to prepare.

Chen Yekai's answer is: [Just play freely, we will help you. 】

Yu Hao: 【Playing freely will probably lead to a fight, it's better to take away the fire extinguisher first. 】

The opposite person couldn't help laughing, Yu Hao looked up in surprise, and saw Chen Yekai sitting diagonally across from him, looking at him and smiling.

Yu Hao was immediately embarrassed, and hurriedly lowered his head to return Chen Yekai's news, only to see Chen Yekai holding back a smile and looking towards him, Yu Hao put up a copy of "The Interpretation of Dreams", Chen Yekai nodded, Both the teacher and the student study by themselves in the library.When Yu Hao took a break, he sent another message to Chen Yekai.

【Not going to work? 】

[Preparing for the doctoral exam, the dean promised me that I can do whatever I want, as long as I don't leave the school. 】

Chen Yekai changed into a dark blue sweater today, and the collar of the plaid shirt was turned out from the collar of the sweater, almost indistinguishable from an undergraduate student.Yu Hao read the book again, and suddenly noticed that in the entire library, it seemed that he and Chen Yekai were the only ones studying by themselves.

Almost all the people sitting in the front, back and around have been replaced by girls!They all held their mobile phones and pretended to twirl their hair, and the cameras pointed at Chen Yekai from all directions.

Yu Hao immediately lowered his hair and messaged: [Teacher, you are being secretly photographed by many people, be careful not to look up. 】

Chen Yekai: [How many people are there? 】

Yu Hao: 【Maybe twenty or thirty, and it's still increasing. 】

Chen Yekai: [You can borrow some books for me, I'll leave first. 】

Chen Yekai was obviously not surprised, he sent the title of the book to Yu Hao, and sent another document: [Fill out the interview draft, and contact the media tomorrow, and I will send you a Tencent news. 】

Yu Hao: "!!!"

This wave of operation is too coquettish!Yu Hao redefines Chen Yekai again, the file is an interview script, Chen Yekai quickly packs his things, and leaves the library quickly with his head down.

Someone behind said: "You search on Baidu...it's him, it's him! It's him!"

With a thought in his heart, Yu Hao opened Baidu and searched for Chen Yekai. The keywords included in the search bar were: "Chen Yekai is a high school student, and Chen Yekai is from Columbia University."

Yu Hao was completely blinded by the content about Chen Yekai.

[Take a good rest today. 】Chen Yekai said, 【Try to take the father and daughter away tomorrow. 】

Yu Hao laughed.

The next day, when he sent the interview draft to Chen Yekai, the door of his office was closed, as if he was discussing something important.

Yu Hao sat silently outside the office, a little nervous.

Think about how to communicate when Mr. Shi and his daughter come later.He spent a dreamless night last night. It was strange to say that in the dream world, after the sun rose, he would never return to the palace, and slept very soundly all night.

Mr. Shi and his daughter Shi Ni chose the college as the meeting place. Before that, Chen Yekai didn't say anything to Yu Hao, only to let him relax.

At 12:30 noon, Mr. Shi didn't come, but Zhou Sheng came first.

Zhou Sheng dressed abnormally well today, put on a black sweater, said "Hello" to Yu Hao, and nodded indifferently.

Yu Hao moved a seat for him to sit on.

"You don't need to come." Yu Hao whispered.

"How can I do that?" Zhou Sheng said, "When there is excitement, you have to watch. This is the basic pleasure of being a human being."

Yu Hao: "..."

When Yu Hao was so nervous that his palms were sweating, Fu Liqun also came. Unexpectedly, he didn't wear sportswear, and sat down between the two of them.

"Hello, two concubines." Fu Liqun sat down in the middle and said carelessly.

Yu Hao: "..."

"Get out!" Zhou Sheng yelled angrily, kicking his feet.

The door of the office opened, and Huang Ting and Chen Yekai came out. There was also a girl they didn't know. Chen Yekai held a folder and said, "Everyone is here, let's go to the meeting room. They are here to accompany you." of."

The moment before he sat in the conference room, Yu Hao's mind was still blank, and no one else spoke to him.But the moment he sat down, seeing that little girl, Yu Hao suddenly seemed to have a lot to say and couldn't help but want to say it.

Chen Yekai shook hands with Mr. Shi first, and introduced himself. There were four people sitting on Yu Hao's side, two people on Mr. Shi's side, his daughter was still carrying a schoolbag, and the police sat in the middle.

Mr. Shi is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit, putting his car keys on a long table, and an electronic cigarette beside him.

"Wait a minute, we still have a reporter to interview." Chen Yekai said to Mr. Shi, "No more than 10 minutes."

Mr. Shi was dumbfounded in an instant, and said, "Interview? Who decided?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Huang Ting took off his police cap, smoothed his hair, and said, "Yu Hao and his friends picked up a sum of money, 120 million, and handed it over to our police station. The station decided to write a commendation letter. Help them report and spread positive energy.”

Mr. Shi: "..."

"Friend" is not happy: "Am I just so non-existent?"

Chen Yekai hurriedly said to the reporter, "His name is Zhou Sheng."

Yu Hao said: "We picked it up together. In fact, he only discovered it when he stepped on the money."

"I have received all the interviews you filled out." The female reporter said, "The process is written very clearly, there are no problems, just add a few points, and it will be very fast."

"The pennant from the police station will be delivered in the afternoon." Huang Ting said to the reporter, "their academy will send you a photo by then."

The female reporter asked a few questions, and Zhou Sheng put his arm around Yu Hao's shoulders, moved to the edge of the conference table, and answered them one by one.Yu Hao looked sideways at Zhou Sheng, then at the reporter, thought for a while, and finally said, "I won't take things that don't belong to me. I think most people in this society are like this, but they don't have It’s just a chance to pick up so much money. We are not typical, it just happened to happen.”

Female reporter: "This is not easy."

"It's not positive energy." Yu Hao said sincerely, "It should be. A person who is willing to lend a helping hand when another person is in danger or wronged, trusts him, helps him, and pulls him out of the quagmire regardless of anything in return. He saw the light again, this is positive energy."

The female reporter suddenly laughed and said, "Who are you talking about? Ah?"

When Yu Hao said this, he thought of the "general" in his dream, but the female reporter turned her head and glanced at Chen Yekai, then suspiciously at Huang Ting, at Fu Liqun, and then at Zhou Sheng.

Everyone's expression was a little strange, half a smile, and even a little embarrassed.

Zhou Sheng blushed suddenly, and said, "He should be talking about me."

Everyone: "..."

Yu Hao said: "Mmm...I mean...Everyone, thank you."

Zhou Sheng: "Didn't you mean me?"

Yu Hao signaled him to stop talking, Zhou Sheng changed the subject, and said seriously to the female reporter, "I have an exclusive news... Did you know that classmate Yu Hao was framed!"

"That's it!" Chen Yekai made a decisive decision and came to send the reporter away.

"Zhou Sheng, this is my business card..." The female reporter stepped past Chen Yekai and handed the business card to Zhou Sheng, "Let's chat in detail when we have time... If you have anything, you can come to me!" Zhou Sheng wanted to get up and go After receiving it, Fu Liqun immediately grabbed his pants, and Yu Hao went to take it knowingly.

After Chen Yekai sent her away, he decisively snatched the business card from Yu Hao and put it in his suit pocket.
