dream maker

It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night.

Lin Yan didn't know what kind of psychology he was out of, so he turned on all the lights on the first floor and the stairs on the second floor, and then walked to the balcony by himself and stared at the sky in a daze.

When he is free, he likes to curl up on the balcony and read a book. For this reason, Shen Jiangnan specially bought him a birdcage chair, which can block the light and sit comfortably.

Several people are not at home these days, and it has been raining for several days in a row. The surface of the birdcage chair is covered with a layer of damp dust, which feels wet and greasy. Collection of Keigo's works.

Regardless of whether the chair was dirty or not, Lin Yan just nestled in, shaking the chair once and for all.

Tomorrow should still be a cloudy day, the whole sky is gray, and the shadow of a star can hardly be seen, and a few faint clouds can be vaguely seen floating in the sky, which is dull and depressing.

"What are you sitting here thinking?"

There was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, Lin Yuan looked sideways, and through the gaps in the weaving of bamboo strips, he could see Bai Xing walking over, holding two bottles of Red Bull in his hand.

"This seems to be the only one in the house." Bai Xing went around to the front, handed a bottle of Red Bull to Lin Yan, and then leaned against the balcony railing, there seemed to be something shadowy in the depths of his eyes.

Lin Yan originally wanted to smile at him to ease the atmosphere, but he raised the corners of his mouth just a little bit, only to belatedly realize that the sky is extremely dark now, and no one can see anyone's face after a few steps. In addition, he was not very able to smile at first, this unformed smile just disappeared in the surrounding darkness.

half an hour.

"Are you worried about Jiangnan?" Bai Xing said suddenly.

Lin Yan was stunned, his eyes moved from the mouth of the Red Bull bottle to the direction of Bai Xing, and he leaned back slightly: "Well, but not all."

Bai Xing laughed twice, and under the circumstances, the lingering laughter became a bit cooler, and he said: "If you are worried about Jiangnan, you don't have to, even though his shark beads are on your body now , but he also has the ability to protect himself. As long as he doesn't enter the legal world, there won't be any accidents."

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows suddenly, couldn't help but sat up straight, looked at Bai Xing's silhouette in the dark, and asked, "You seem to know Jiangnan very well?"

This sentence is clearly a bit of probing. Although I have heard Shen Jiangnan explain it before, but it is a one-sided statement. In case Bai Xing really likes Shen Jiangnan all the time, but he doesn't say Come out, what should I do?

Bai Xing probably already heard the implication of Lin's nonsense, he tossed the Red Bull up and caught it a little funnyly, and then said in a low tone: "Don't worry, I don't have that kind of attitude towards Jiangnan. It feels like we're just..."

"Just what?" Lin Yan subconsciously chased after the words, and after the words came out, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say that, as if he had somehow exposed what he was guilty of, so he changed his words again and again. : "I mean, was your relationship good before?"

Bai Xing smiled, a trace of sadness seemed to flash across his brows, and he said lightly: "Well, the relationship was really good before, we grew up together, and then I met Jun Lian, in the legal world at that time, We play everything together."

Although it was a smile, Lin Yu could hear a bit of bitterness from the other party's tone. He didn't know what kind of stories and experiences they had before, so he didn't know what to say at the moment. That's good, after a long pause, I could only follow the other party's words dryly, and continued to ask: "Then... what happens next?"

"After that?" Bai Xing was silent for a while, lowered his eyes, and for a long while, he didn't answer the question directly, but asked again: "Lin Yan, if I tell you that the destruction of the mermaid race is actually related to me. It doesn't matter, believe it or not?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought deeply about this matter. If Bai Xing was really involved in the extermination of the mermaid race back then, then why did Feng Jian keep chasing him down? ?

But what if he did not intend to do what happened back then, but it was indirectly caused by him?

In addition, thinking of Shen Jiangnan and Junlian's attitude towards Bai Xing at the beginning, this one and the other are really not enough to make people believe in the matter of the mermaid tribe, and it really has nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Lin Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, Bai Xing guessed what the other party was thinking at the moment. After a pause, he glanced at the distance with some emptiness in his eyes, and said word by word: "But what happened back then , I really didn’t mean it.”

"Isn't it intentional?" Lin Yan glanced at Bai Xing suspiciously, and asked with some uncertainty: "That is to say, it is indeed related to you in this matter?"

Lin Yan looked at Bai Xing without blinking, his eyes were penetrating and sharp, as if he had caught a glimpse of a light in the dark, and he was about to pry through those bizarre signs to find out what happened back then. He paused and said: "Jiangnan said that the situation was very tense at that time, and the relationship between the law world and several aristocratic families could be said to be on the verge of breaking out, but at this critical point, someone reported that the mermaids wanted to merge the dream world and the real world, although it is absurd. Incomparable, but after all, it became the fuse of this matter, so this person... is you back then?"

Bai Xing did not speak. In the darkness, he could hear the sound of him pulling open the lid of the Red Bull can. After a long time, his voice seemed to come from far away. He said: "At that time, I had no contact with the outside world. There are so many things, I am not afraid of your jokes. That day, Jiangnan and Junlian went to 'Du' to kill the Nightmare Spirit. I was delayed because of some things. Later, after the matter was settled, I went to 'Du' to find them. When I was about to leave, I heard Jiangnan's father and grandfather discussing matters together."

Lin Yao: "Jiangnan's father and grandfather?"

"Yeah." Bai Xing rubbed his forehead, and said softly: "To be precise, it should be the voices of Jiangnan's father and grandpa. I didn't see them, but I just heard them say that they are going to merge the real world and the dream world. At that time, I was also stupid, but I forgot that the mermaid people were always against such things. I went to 'Du' with full of doubts. After meeting Jiangnan and Junlian, I subconsciously asked him about this matter. , there were neither too many nor too few nightmares around at that time, but they also heard what I said, and when we went back, this matter was inexplicably spread."

"At the beginning, we didn't take this matter to heart, and they all just took this sentence as a joke, but I still felt strange in my heart, and then I quietly returned to listen to it. When I got the news, I heard what they were discussing again. Later... I asked the city lords of several other cities. I wanted to know if they were willing to cooperate with the mermaids. After all, this matter is not trivial. Who knew that it was such a big oolong that caused a thousand waves with one stone, and what happened after that...Jiangnan should have told you all about it, right?"

"Ah."

Lin Yan pursed his lips in response, and couldn't help asking one more question, "So...the two voices at that time were not real?"

"Yeah." Bai Xing sighed for a long time, and murmured: "Am I so stupid? Up to now, I have lied to myself. This matter has nothing to do with me. He is a victim, to blame him for doing evil unintentionally, even though there is no punishment for evil, in fact, this incident was caused by me alone, and I am the sinner of the mermaid race."

"You..." Lin Yan sighed. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Even if you do evil with your heart, you won't be punished, it depends on what kind of evil you do. It was ruined because of this unintentional mistake, the evil is really too much.

Although everyone at that time had a wicked mind, there was still a lack of an upright reason, and the appearance of Bai Xing, wasn't it an upright reason?

"At this point, it will be useless to dwell on the things of the past." Lin Yu pursed his lips, glanced at Bai Xing uncomfortably, came over for a moment, and then continued, "Jiangnan and the others should know this too. It was your unintentional mistake, but this matter is no small matter, you..."

"I understand what you mean." Bai Xing shook the soda can in his hand and took a sip. The edge of the metal can hit the mask, making a small crisp sound, and he said, "But I still can't get over it in my heart. When I was in the legal world once, I was already holding the heart of death, who knew that you were also a fool, and saved me back."

Lin Yuan heard the meaning of his suicide, poked his head out of the birdcage chair, glanced at him, frowned, and said: "You really shouldn't have such thoughts, since you don't want to live anymore, At that time, why did you use Ye Jingxin's body to resurrect, isn't it superfluous?"

After a pause, he added a sentence following this sentence: "And having said that, if you were really killed because of being invaded by nightmare air when you were in the law world, I wouldn't be the indirect victim." Did you exist?"

"You know that this feeling is not good, why do you want to impose this feeling on me, let me feel it? How much do you hate me?"

Bai Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, something seemed to twitch in his eyes, he paused, and suddenly said: "It's really normal for Jiangnan to fall in love with you."

Lin Yan was startled, wondering why Bai Xing would suddenly say this.

"Actually, I want to be resurrected. I just want to take some responsibility for what happened back then. I want to do something and try to make up for something." Bai Xing breathed out: "You know how I feel Well, when I used to hide in the soul lock, every day and night was a kind of torment. Sometimes I thought, at that time, it would be better to just disappear, and take all my sins and annihilation together, so that they can't see me, It’s also a good thing.”

Bai Xing seemed to have opened up the chatter box unintentionally, with a deep sense of sadness in his tone, he said word by word: "But sometimes I think I can't just die completely like this, the mermaid race is gone, and the remaining There is only Jiangnan alone, how can he face so many things alone? No matter how much I can help him, I always have to try first, at least at critical moments, I still have a life to sacrifice, right? ?”

"You..." Lin Yan couldn't help taking a deep breath, feeling that the topic at hand was a bit heavy, he squeezed the Red Bull bottle in his hand tightly, paused for a while, and then said: "Bai Xing , I don’t know if you have felt that although Jun Lian always speaks bad words to you, he still keeps the bottom line? Although Jiangnan is also cold and indifferent, at least he has never even spoken bad words to you, right? "

"Actually, they probably don't really hate you deep in their hearts. You really don't have to put such a heavy psychological pressure on yourself." Lin Yan said softly: "Since you have the time to think about these things, why don't you think about it? Go deal with Fengjian and the others, right?"

"Things have happened, and many things will never go back to the beginning. Now I don't really have anything extravagant to ask for. As long as the mermaids can come back, it will be fine."

When Lin Yan heard this, he was speechless for a while, and just sat there silently.

Comparing your heart to your heart, if he is Bai Xing, he may not be able to do better than him. It's a bit funny to talk about the things back then. It's just such an oolong that indirectly caused such a serious thing later. .

Bai Xing could be regarded as doing bad things with good intentions. At that time, Shen Jiangnan and the others ignored what he said to him as nonsense, but he obviously heard this, who else could he tell?

In the end, if you care about it, you will be chaotic. In the end, it is because you care too much, so you can only think of it by yourself, regardless of the consequences.

"Lin Yan." Bai Xing suddenly called softly.

"Ok?"

"I want to trouble you with something." Bai Xing pursed his lips.

Lin Yu didn't know what Bai Xing wanted to say, but out of politeness, he nodded and asked: "Yes, tell me, what is it? As long as I can do it, I will help you as much as I can."

...It has to be said that his words are very level, not only giving Bai Xing a step, but also taking care of his own way out.

"Don't worry." Bai Xing seemed to be completely ignorant of the world, and said in an almost firm tone, "You will definitely be able to do it."

Lin Yan gave a dry laugh and asked, "Then tell me, what's the matter?"

"Before Ye Jingchu was about to die, did you weave a few dreams for her?" Bai Xing said lightly, "I remember that you should have weaved one dream after another for her according to what she thought. In the dream, the Ye family didn’t die, and neither did her sister, and everyone in the family is together well, isn’t it?”

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and then responded with some puzzlement: "Well, I think it's not easy for Ye Jingxin, so I created a few dreams for her, why?"
