sunk in yesterday

Xia Zhuo didn't have time to open his eyes, but he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.

The air he breathed into his lungs was not clean, as if it was mixed with fine dust, which made him raise his hand to support the pillar beside him and began to cough violently.

Perhaps the movement of coughing was too loud, causing the few people standing scattered not far away to turn their heads frequently. There were all kinds of emotions in those eyes, contempt, sympathy or indifference.

A well-dressed boy pointed at him and his companions beside him: "Hey, hey, he's with you, right...why is he coughing like that? There won't be any infectious diseases, right?"

The companion is not very interested: "The infection here will not affect the outside."

"Oh, that's right." The man made sense after thinking about it, so he didn't say much, "I don't know what's wrong with that look."

However, the center of the topic didn't even care about listening to what the people around them were saying, so tears flowed out.

Xia Zhuo squinted her eyes and saw through the tears that the entire platform was melted into a mist. Far away, the chimneys of the factory were blowing into the sky arrogantly. It seemed that the entire town was shrouded in this thick smog.

He leaned on the pillar and squatted down, his face was flushed, and he coughed so hard that he didn't even have time to breathe.He wiped his tears and scolded what the hell, and he felt his lungs would burst out if he coughed any more.

"That, you..."

Suddenly there was a pure white handkerchief in front of him, and the small leather shoes with round toes appeared in his line of sight. Even if he couldn't see clearly, he could distinguish the deep black color.The other party's voice was a little low, as if he hadn't paid attention for a while, he bent over and asked, "You, are you okay? Have you got water on you?"

Xia Zhuo thought to himself, he is a very poor man, the kind of poor, not to mention water, he doesn't even have a flashlight.

He shook his head, didn't take the handkerchief, wanted to say thanks, but when he opened his mouth, he was afraid of spitting, and his face went from red to purple, completely suppressed.

The little girl was not too old, she was dressed in gaudy clothes, with some exaggerated makeup on her face, her knee socks were white and black, and three words suddenly appeared in Xia Zhuo's mind: Two-dimensional.

Seeing that the man shook her head, she put the handkerchief into her pocket and touched the watch on her wrist, as if she wanted to give him some of the moisture.However, before Xia Zhuo could refuse, a bottle of water with the lid unscrewed was handed to him from behind.

Xia Zhuo turned around and saw that Guan Yuzhou had approached him at some point, still the gentle and gentle appearance he saw last time, but this time there was a black-haired beauty in a red dress beside him.

He stared at the beauty for two seconds, and the cough that was about to come out was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get it out.

Guan Yuzhou skipped the greeting he met the second time, knelt down and touched the mouth of the bottle directly to his mouth, and asked softly familiarly: "Is it okay to feed you like this?"

Xia Zhuo remained silent for half his life, gulping down half a bottle of water in this posture.

The beauty stood beside her for a while, first said hello to the two-dimensional girl, and then squatted down with a smile to see the two of them feeding and drinking, there was no sign of displeasure at all, but they seemed to enjoy it with gusto.

Xia Zhuo was drinking the last sip, his throat was still a little itchy, suddenly there was another face in front of him, he couldn't help coughing, half of his mouth sprayed out the water.

Guan Yuzhou: "..."

The beauty in the red dress: "..."

She wiped her face, gritted her teeth and raised her lips at Guan Yuzhou: "You are kind of cute."

Xia Zhuo's eyelids twitched: "I'm coughing...not coughing...deliberately coughing..."

Guan Yuzhou coaxed: "Don't worry, just wait a little longer."

Hearing this, Xia Zhuo covered her mouth and took a deep breath.Part of the dirty air was cut off, and the dry itching in his throat was washed away by the water, so he felt a little better.

Seeing that his face looked better, Guan Yuzhou raised the remaining half bottle of water in his hand: "Do you still drink?"

"Well, no more."

Two-dimensional can see clearly, this young man who coughed so loudly when he came in came in with his friends.The friends who were waiting there were also waving for her to go back, so she smiled shyly at Xia Zhuo and ran away.

"This is my friend." Guan Yuzhou sent the outsiders away, and introduced the beautiful woman beside Xia Zhuo in a few words: "We know each other in reality, you can call Mrs. Bai."

The beauty covered her lips and smiled coquettishly, "What madam, I'm not married, so just call me sister."

Xia Zhuo blinked, and called Sister Bai as she wanted: "My name is Xia Zhuo, and I am Guan Yuzhou's...employer."

Mrs. Bai tasted the word unexpectedly, and looked at the person in front of her again, "I thought he'd gotten better, and finally found a new love."

This word made Guan Yuzhou frown slightly, but he soon let go.

Xia Zhuo imitated the other party's appearance, and also showed a look of surprise: "I thought you were his current girlfriend."

Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, pointing at Guan Yuzhou with distaste: "Just him? I still prefer the younger brother." Seeing that Xia Zhuo looked unpolluted, she raised another Covering his mouth with his hand like a fan, he whispered: "Whether it's a little wolf dog or a little milk dog, they are both physically strong, young and obedient, and pleasant. If you want to find a lover, don't look for an old man like Guan Yuzhou. If you abstain from sex, you can follow an ascetic monk." Same, I suspect he can't afford to—"

Guan Yuzhou came up and smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Bai immediately shut up, and looked at the distant scenery like a normal person.

At this time, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Except for a sudden hiccup sound from one place, nearly ten participants standing in batches silently silenced.

A figure walked in from the end of the station, and the black tuxedo was revealed a little bit due to the distance. It looked like an old gentleman from the middle ages.

Only then did Xia Zhuo notice that the station he was at looked a bit weird, and the buildings that could only be seen in the distance not far away did not look like Chinese style. He glanced at Guan Yuzhou next to him in surprise: "Dreams can still be dreams." Go abroad?"

Guan Yuzhou hummed: "There will be."

"Isn't there a language barrier?"

Guan Yuzhou smiled and bent slightly, leaned closer and said, "You have your own translation system, don't worry. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, and I will translate it for you."

The hot air sprayed against the ears, Xia Zhuo glanced at it, but did not hide after all, "What are you doing so close, I haven't seen you for a few hours, you just miss me so much?"

"A little."

"Just a little? Is a little worth it?"

Guan Yuzhou smiled: "Maybe."

The deacon's waist is straight, he is about 50 years old, and he looks good except for a few white hairs on his temples.He had a pocket watch pinned to his chest, shiny leather shoes under his feet, and was holding a piece of paper in his hand. He didn't know what was written on it, and he looked it up as he walked.

The muffled sound of soles stepping on the ground echoed down the long arched corridor, and after a while, the deacon had already walked to the end of the station expressionlessly in the sight of several people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon." The deacon bowed slightly, pinned the paper behind his back, and introduced himself politely: "I am the deacon of the Boyle family in Feijigang, and I am here to greet you at the order of the master. Everyone, the master asked me to invite all of you to the old house to be witnesses for the wedding between him and Miss Shelley in seven days."

All the first-time dreamers didn't understand what the process was this time, with confusion or vigilance in their eyes, silently waiting for the plot to play automatically.Xia Zhuo listened, and roughly understood that this was going to a powerful family to watch the owner marry his little fiancee.

The aboriginal language only said this, and a carriage with a golden roof and a black frame drove up in the distance with the sound of hoofbeats.With a crisp whip, the paulownia axle rubbed against the rough stone road and sparked, and it stopped firmly at the exit.The heavy metal door opened automatically, revealing the red and green layout and spacious space inside. The slightly raised curtains were curled up by the wind, silently inviting everyone to board inside.

The deacon stretched out a hand, bent towards the door and said, "Everyone is Master Kirk's friends from all over the world. It must have been hard work to get here all the way. I have prepared pastries and tea in the carriage in advance, everyone. You can take a short break to relieve the fatigue along the way."

Although he said so, no one dared to move first.

Most of the people seemed to be staring at this aborigine, but they were actually looking at the rest of the people around them from the corner of their eyes.

The experienced hands are indifferent to the deacon's words, let alone the other participants with less experience.In the dream, the words of the aborigines are not trustworthy. Who knows if this car will prepare an extra "surprise" for the first person to go up.

The deacon didn't rush, he took out his pocket watch from time to time to take a look, the remaining time seemed to be enough.When everyone breathed lightly at the same time, Mrs. Bai frivolously straightened the skirt, and greeted Xia Zhuo, who had a face of "who am I and where am I" on her catwalk without looking back: "Let's go, kid, get up early the birds eat the worms."

Xia Zhuo followed her and Guan Yuzhou to step on the iron pedals first under the eyes of everyone, not very happy: "I am 25."

"Six years younger than me, one round is a child."

"If you call me a kid, then I can't call you Miss Bai, but Aunt Bai."

"..."

She finally understood that this young man was not obedient at all, and he didn't have the sense of current affairs that other newcomers should have, and she didn't know how Guan Yuzhou was willing to be with him.

"...Then you should call me madam."

The three of them stepped back and forth into the carriage, and the sweet aroma of black tea and cake blew through their noses along the wind that slipped in through the window.Madam Bai unceremoniously sat down at the head of the round table, folded her legs domineeringly under the long skirt, picked up a fork, scraped off a small piece of cake from the plate in front of her, and stuffed it into her mouth, waiting to swallow it. After eating, the host generally held his throat and introduced to Xia Zhuo: "The food in the dream has the characteristics of absolute reality. Generally, the dishes or small desserts prepared by such a big family will not taste bad. Come and taste it. After a while, the group of people below will have nothing to eat."

Xia Zhuo sat down next to Guan Yuzhou suspiciously, looked at her smooth side face and said, "I really can't tell you are 30 years old."

Mrs. Bai gracefully wiped a small piece of cream on the corner of her lips: "I can't tell that you are an inexperienced novice. Before you came in, Guan Yuzhou mentioned that you brought someone this time. After I actually saw you, I still felt a little bit uncomfortable. I can't believe it."

"What should a novice look like?"

He can learn from it now, and let Guan Yuzhou rate it next time he performs.

"Here," Mrs. Bai flicked her little finger, pointing at a middle-aged man who hadn't gotten in the car through the half-open glass: "That's it."

There was the sound of shoe soles rubbing in front of the car door, and besides the three of them, there were also people walking towards the exit.Guan Yuzhou and Xia Zhuo didn't pay much attention. They followed Mrs. Bai's little finger and turned their faces sideways at the same time, looking out the window.

The middle-aged man was bald, with a round beer belly in front of him, fat head and big ears, and he looked a little delirious, as if he had just finished a meal, his whole face was flushed, his feet fluttered while his tongue was sticking out Pointing at the deacon.

Xia Zhuo: "..." I can't act, forget it.

It looked like this man was well-dressed, but the expensive watch and gold ring on his body could only accentuate the pedantry in his bones and the smell of copper piled up by money.He tugged on the deacon's white collar while asking the other party to send him home, repeatedly yelling that he had to meet the client in the afternoon, and the project was huge, so no one would be able to compensate for the delay.

"But you have been invited," the deacon fixed his light gray eyes on the middle-aged man, and asked gentlemanly: "Are you sure you need to send you back?"

"I... hiccup... I still have something to do in the afternoon, you go, go and bring me the person in charge of the hotel..." The middle-aged man squinted, "I, I didn't give an order in advance. God, I... er... I have to use the room, why did you send me out? I, but I paid for it!"

This is really desperate, I didn't calculate the date of dreaming, and I was so eager to get myself drunk.The rest of the people who were observing the situation backed away at the same time, fearing that something bad would happen to them.

This person spoke intermittently, and the words were not clear, and it took a lot of time for a sentence.The deacon patiently waited for him to finish speaking, and a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face: "It's because we didn't entertain you well, so I'll send you back."
