My very cool daughter-in-law

Chapter 38 Dreamland 3

The phrase "I won't" is a promise made by a person who is not good at words, with a gradually warming stone behind him, trying to lean towards people's thinking.

However, maybe because it is so short, it sounds concise and even a bit perfunctory.

It may also be that the listener clearly understands everything and fully understands how precious this sentence is, but they still want to be amusing and retain a little more of the "vigor" of the stone.

Anyway, after listening to the young man with Sheng Xun's face, his brows and eyes stretched, but his mouth was still puzzled, and he asked: "Nothing? Do you think I'm not a hooligan, or don't you like me?"

He insisted on asking what happened, as if he wanted someone to explain clearly.

Xiaoqiu who was being questioned in the dream kept her mouth shut and stopped talking.

Xiaoqiu also had a very strange feeling. He felt that he should know that this person was asking questions knowingly, so he didn't want to talk to him for some reason, but he didn't want to really neglect him.

It just so happened that the hand he stretched out before hadn't been taken away, and it was still attached to the back of the opponent's hand.

He left his hand there and rubbed the back of the opponent's hand, intending to use this small gesture to convey "although I don't want to answer the question, but you see, I didn't completely ignore you".

I didn't wait for an answer, but I waited for a little bit. The man was obviously taken aback, but his hand reacted quickly. He clenched the hand attached to the back of his hand as if he had practiced his backhand. The speed was so fast that he seemed afraid of the next move. It ran away in seconds.

"...This answer is also okay." The young man said after he was dazed, and he laughed, interlacing his five fingers into Xiao Qiu's fingers, making the two hands look like they are clasped.

Xiao Qiu's hand shrunk into the cloak was still holding the stove, and the small double-layer fine copper stove was filled with hot charcoal cores.

Facing the cold wind and fine snow in late winter, he felt that the hand held by someone was warmer.

Fengxue seemed to be a little smaller than when the two first met, and "Sheng Xun" calmed down after teasing Xiaoqiu for a while.

He seemed to be attracted by something in the distance, and his eyes cast far away, and Xiao Qiu's eyes fell on the side of his face.

Xiaoqiu's consciousness was vague when he first entered the dream, and he only had a general impression of the distinction between "reality" and "dream".

I know that I am dreaming, and I also remember that I seem to be both the person in the dream and the bystander who came across time and space.

But gradually, as the content of the dream progressed, Xiao Qiu could feel that the part of his consciousness that belonged to the "bystander" became more and more awake.

He can better distinguish the difference between dreams and reality, and can accurately judge among many fleeting thoughts—such as the small movements just now, and the "no" that he said before—that they come from him, Still from my past self.

He also remembered more things in reality.

Including the reminder about regret that he just remembered, and his own Sheng Xun.

Xiaoqiu just saw that "myself" was wrapped in the cloak given by "Sheng Xun", with the hand stove given by "Sheng Xun" stuffed in his arms, and one of his hands was seized by the other party and put in the other party's hand.

What he thought of was the milk tea that Sheng Xun would bring to him every now and then since the Tao Ying incident, the various snacks that the other party had become more proficient in stuffing into his hands, and the "indirect contact" that both parties have become accustomed to through various objects. ".

He really likes sweet drinks, and he also knows that Sheng Xun has no preference for milk tea.

But Sheng Xun found out what he liked, so whenever he went out, there was a milk tea and dessert shop on the way, and there was always a drink for him.

……

It's really strange, he agreed to propose to enter the dreamland originally to search for memories, but sitting next to a person who was closely related to him at a glance, he began to miss the real world again, and frequently thought of another picture that was more beautiful than the youth around him. A younger face.

Fortunately, his body is like an instrument that faithfully screens old movies, no matter what is thinking in his mind, all words and deeds are still automatically carried out according to the track of the year.

"Sheng Xun" stared into the distance for quite a while.

Looking over there from the roof where they were sitting, they could just see a corner of today's banquet hall.

Indeed, as the two young men said, a rare happy event is being held in the mansion.

Xiao Qiu vaguely remembered that there was a banquet hall in that direction, but today, that banquet hall could no longer accommodate the endless stream of guests, and the wedding table was placed from inside to outside.There are also two connected courtyards at the other end, which have been meticulously tidied up and arranged into a huge banquet hall, which is suitable for entertaining guests who come to have a wedding wine.

The sound of the wind brought laughter and noise, and the snow did not affect the burning of the firecrackers. The bright red confetti and other decorations symbolizing auspiciousness were set off together, and the festive atmosphere was set off more enthusiastically and vividly in a piece of silver.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Qiu heard herself asking finally.

There was a faint doubt and curiosity in his heart, which belonged to his past emotions.

He vaguely remembered that when he was with him, "Sheng Xun"'s mind-wandering seemed uncommon, and the other party always focused on himself more often.

What attracted the attention of "Sheng Xun"?

Xiaoqiu in the dream was still slightly unhappy, and it seemed to be just his illusion.

However, as "Sheng Xun" withdrew his eyes and turned his head, the other party's eyes refocused on him, and all the complicated emotions disappeared in an instant.

The eyes of "Sheng Xun" contained emotions that were too complicated for Xiaoqiu, and he was startled when his eyes met the other party.

"I'm thinking."

He heard "Sheng Xun" speak, and the other party's voice was somehow the same as his eyes, as if with a complex emotion, so he appeared gentle and deep.

"Sheng Xun" continued in this gentle and deep voice: "I think I am really a greedy person."

"You?" Xiao Qiu was puzzled, he repeated the key words in the other party's words, "greedy?"

"Yeah." "Sheng Xun" squeezed Xiaoqiu's fingertips, "Don't be so surprised, I'm not talking about greed in terms of financial power, I'm talking about—"

Afterwards, it seemed difficult to utter the words, "Sheng Xun" stopped talking abruptly when he said this.

He stopped for a while and fell silent as if to rearrange his sentences.

Xiao Qiu waited patiently, and then saw "Sheng Xun" take a deep breath.

"You gave me a promise just now." "Sheng Xun" finally said again, as if he had used the most traditional method to stabilize his emotions, he held Xiaoqiu's hand tightly, his eyes were bright, "I fully understand your I mean, I know you never lie, but I say I'm greedy because when I just looked over there, I couldn't help but think, besides the verbal agreement, I actually want something more profound and practical .It's better to have a stronger contract and be able to show our relationship to everyone... Can you understand what I'm talking about?"

The style of "Sheng Xun" used to be straightforward, and it was rare that he didn't get the point of the conversation clearly for a long time like this, and went around and asked Xiaoqiu to guess his meaning at the end.

But in the dream, Xiaoqiu in the past sensed the tension under the calm appearance of the youth at this moment.

He held the other's hand instead, and thought about it very seriously along with these words, and suddenly, he felt that he had found the answer.

He said firmly, "You want me to put a curse on you?"

At that moment, "Sheng Xun"'s expression was very indescribable.

A gust of cold wind mixed with fine snow happened to be blowing head-on, the young man blinked his eyes in the wind and snow, with a rare dazed expression.He was blown stupid by the wind and snow, or his ears were filled with snow particles, so he couldn't believe what he heard.

"...Curse the curse." After a long time, "Sheng Xun" repeated Xiao Qiu's words.

His expression changed again and again, and finally he pressed his forehead with his free hand, shook his shoulders and smiled helplessly: "Little ancestor, I even mentioned the banquet over there, thinking that I hinted enough Obviously, in the end, what you thought was not just a little bit different from what I thought."

Suddenly promoted to the young ancestor, Xiaoqiu knew that he had guessed wrong, the hands he shook with the young man were trembling non-stop, which showed that the other party laughed so much.

"Seniority is wrong." He replied indifferently, as if he didn't care about his guess wrong, and only cared about the other party's seniority issue.

However, inside, Xiao Qiu can actually feel that the affectionate name he gave to "Sheng Xun" is quite useful.

There was a sense of intimacy in that that pleased him.

"Don't take the topic off topic." After finally recovering from his smile, "Sheng Xun" didn't correct his address, but just patted the back of Xiaoqiu's hand again.

He got a divine reply, and laughed amusedly and helplessly for a long time, and when he looked at Xiaoqiu again, most of the hesitation that existed in his expression just now dissipated.

It seemed that a misunderstanding completely missed his courage, and he became more calm and determined. :

"I shouldn't be going around in circles with you." "Sheng Xun" shook his head slightly, he looked at Xiaoqiu, impartial, "I want to tell you." He said in a voice with a smile, " I also want to marry you, any traditional three-book six-ceremony or a trendy Western-style wedding."

He seemed to hear vocabulary that he never thought he would hear. The young man in front of him spoke every word clearly, and the voice of the other party and Zheng Zheng was close at hand, but Xiao Qiu didn't seem to understand a word, he was stunned in place.

After a long time, he asked softly, "What do you want with me?"

The other party waited attentively and patiently, upon hearing this, he pulled his hand in front of her and pressed it on his chest.

"Get married." "Sheng Xun" repeated.

The heartbeat can still be seen through the layers of winter clothes. There is a warm and strong heart under Xiaoqiu's palm.

Before entering this dream, whether it was Andy who proposed to try it, or the little bear doll who had personally experienced a "dream backtracking", they all mentioned one point to Xiaoqiu and Sheng Xun-by Andy's new ability to dream will not only dream of a memory related to the past, it can also help the dreamer recall a thing that he once regretted.

Xiaoqiu has been thinking for a long time since he was able to clearly distinguish dreams from reality, and he found that nothing that has happened since he fell into a dream seems to be anything but regrettable.

Is there anything in this memory that he regrets?

What made Andy's ability choose this passage out of all his past memories?

He now knows the answer.

"...the new style is a bit weird." Xiaoqiu in the dream finally said.

The night has not yet fallen, and there should be few stars to be seen in the snowy day, but the young man's eyes seem to be brighter than the stars in advance.

"I also think that the three letters and six rituals are more solemn." He said, and then he took something out of his arms and put it in Xiaoqiu's hands.

Those two little things are round and round, with exactly the same texture and smooth and delicate feel. The thickness and weight of the shell are also just right, and there is even the sound of porcelain when they collide.

It is a pair of Wenwan walnuts in excellent condition.

"Nacai needs to prepare at least thirty things." "Sheng Xun" said, "I'll pay a deposit first, and I won't be allowed to leave after I accept it."

What they say is to ask someone to accept it, but what they actually do is to force it directly, and then say that they are not allowed to run away after stuffing it, which is quite a robber.

Fortunately, the one who got caught by the robber was also happy to pamper him. He just took one look at the robber and put away the things in his hand obediently.

"The deposit is not counted in the [-] items." The "robber" who made a successful decision frowned, and assured the person he set that he would be ready to accept the gift and go through the whole set rigorously. The process, never let yourself prepare things that are less ostentatious than today.

"I still have a lot of things I want to give you." The young man babbled like a teenager at this moment, with the appearance of being willing to give everything to the person he likes.

Others have rare treasures, so will his lover.

Others have boxes of gold bars and silver dollars that are carried in the door, and his lover should also have them.

Others have wedding dresses handcrafted in the century-old garment workshop in the south of the city, and his lover must have them.

……

My lover listened to the long list of gifts, but his expression was indifferent, he just felt that this person might want to use money to bury himself, and then gradually fell asleep after listening to it.

Xiao Qiu buried her face in the fine short plush of the fur collar and closed her eyes.

He fell asleep in a dream.

Waking up in reality again.

The first thing Xiaoqiu did after waking up was to find that the fluffy feeling on her cheeks hadn't gone away for a while.

He opened his eyes with doubts, and found that it was the furry half of the little bear doll's body.

It was already bright outside the window, and the dreaming ghost did not live up to the human's advice to him, and it really was a very long sleep.

Little Bear sat down on the head of the bed at some point, with the furry half of his body leaning against Xiaoqiu's pillow, and when he touched the other side, he touched another plastic body with a cooler texture.

Andy sat on the other side of the pillow.

"Where's Sheng Xun?"

Unlike humans, ghosts will have a transition from confusion to sobriety, and they will be completely awake when they open their eyes.

Xiao Qiu straightened up while asking.

Little Xiong and Andy were not surprised that he went to find Sheng Xun as soon as he woke up, and the two dolls made a booing gesture to him.

Xiaoqiu straightened up and looked up, so she no longer needed the dolls to answer her questions.

Sheng Xun was sitting on a chair not far away.

He lowered his head slightly, propped his elbows on the armrest, and fell asleep on the chair with his head propped up like that.

"We don't even know when you will wake up." Little Xiong whispered, "He is worried, afraid that you will fall into some bad emotions because of regaining your memory after waking up, so he wants to watch you wake up and waits for you. There."

Xiao Qiu quietly looked at Sheng Xun who was sleeping on the chair for a while, he always felt that the other person's position seemed uncomfortable, and that computer chair was too shabby for a person with long arms and legs to sleep on.

He wanted to go over to help Sheng Xun adjust his posture, but after getting out of bed, he realized that his joints were not quite right. It seemed that when he got up, he turned his body sideways and stood up straight up, causing the bones on the waist and hips to be a little misaligned.

This is of course a small problem for the ghost, and Xiaoqiu straightened himself with two clicks.

Sheng Xun waited until he fell asleep with his head propped up unknowingly last night. He probably didn't sleep well in the chair.

Earlier Xiaoqiu got up and talked to the baby, but these two movements did not wake Sheng Xun up.

However, maybe the sound of the ghost twisting its joints is very unique. Xiao Qiu successfully straightened his body, and when he raised his head towards the human, he found that Sheng Xun first moved his arm slightly, and the other opened his eyes.

As a human being, Sheng Xun still has a transition period from confusion to sobriety.

His expression was foggy when he first woke up, and his eyes were half-opened because he felt the light.

But relying on the very hazy vision at first thought, Sheng Xun's eyelids seemed to be habitually lifted to the side of the bed.

"Xiaoqiu?" His voice was a little nasal when he just woke up in the morning, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Xiao Qiu stood in front of Sheng Xun, he looked down at him, "I'm awake."

Sheng Xun still covered his face with one hand, blocking the morning light that was a bit harsh for him.

He didn't ask Xiaoqiu what he dreamed about, he just curled up his mouth and smiled, "Your dream is really long."

Xiaoqiu suddenly felt a certainty for no reason, he felt that the young man who appeared in the dream and the Sheng Xun in front of him were the same person.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I dreamed about?" Xiao Qiu asked.

Sheng Xun's eyes seemed to have quickly adapted to the light in the room. He put down his covering hand and looked at Xiao Qiu with concern and integrity.

"I was a little worried that it would be offensive to ask directly." Sheng Xun said.

Because not all memories are meant to be shared.

But as long as Xiaoqiu is willing to share, Sheng Xun is of course willing to listen.

"What did you dream about?"

"You." Xiaoqiu answered very simply.

"...Me?" Sheng Xun was obviously stunned by this answer, he looked at Xiao Qiu's expression repeatedly for a long time, probably to make sure that the ghost also had the sense of joking.

"You." Xiao Qiu said again.

Facing Sheng Xun's increasingly unbelievable gaze, Xiao Qiu wanted to expand his sentence, telling Sheng Xun that the other party almost occupied the main body of his dream.

But it is very strange that the memory in the dream is brought to reality, but Xiaoqiu's impression of the dream is far less than that of Xiaoxiong's experience last time.

He knew that Sheng Xun appeared frequently in his dreams and was an important role in his dreams. He also remembered the depressing mansion with snow and the festive red falling on the snow.

But outside the main body of the dream, the details that fill the branches seem to have been disturbed by something, they are messy and fragmented.

Able to remember individual small episodes, but unable to put them in proper chronological order to form a complete plot.

"I dreamed of you..." Xiao Qiu paused because of this messy memory, and his eyes met Sheng Xun.

Sheng Xun was waiting patiently for the next sentence. This scene was like a switch, and several clear clips about the other party immediately appeared in his mind.

"You haven't given me anything you promised me." Xiao Qiu said, and what he remembered was the scene of Sheng Xun sitting on the roof with him, telling him that the other party would definitely give him a lot of things.

As soon as he finished speaking, the memory of what those things were suddenly came out.

In the dream, Sheng Xun described to him the treasure chests of gold and silver that could be laid out from the south of the city to the north of the city.

Xiao Qiu hesitated and added: "You seem to owe me... a lot of money."

The author has something to say: I finally finished this plot smoothly! ! !

A total of four versions of the beginning of this chapter were written, and the scrap draft was about 3000 words. Finally, this exhausting dream was solved, and the writing would be much smoother afterward.

This useless pigeon can be a good pigeon with normal updates!
