Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

I've never seen Flo in such pain.

In the middle of the night, while falling asleep, Sui was suddenly awakened by the strange movements of the people around him.

Upon seeing it, he noticed that his brows were tightly furrowed, there were tears in his eyes, and he muttered some incomprehensible sentences.It seemed vaguely saying words like "don't" and "don't".

Sui: Flo?

Shh, can you hear me?

I tried to pat him on the back, but unfortunately I couldn't wake him up.

I don't know what kind of nightmare I had, it might not be appropriate to wake up hastily.

...It is too sad to let him continue to suffer.

I was about to get out of bed to get a hot towel or something, but when I turned over, the pajamas were grabbed tightly.

Even though he was trapped in a dream, Flo's hands were still strong, and Sui seemed to hear the sound of the hem of his clothes being torn.

Flo: Stay... come...

Sui: Hmm.

I'm not going, I'm not going... Shhh.

Flo dreams a lot, he knows that well.

The content of the dream, Flo seldom elaborated with him, it is said that he often dreamed of the place where he lived before.

Occasionally, he would appear in his dreams.He also said that everything in the dream is very real, making it difficult to tell whether the land under your feet exists or not.

...What was that place like, and what was he doing at the time.He didn't know any more details.

Flo sometimes dreams for a long time, and sometimes wakes up suddenly.

He'd always try to act nonchalant, but he'd never been good at completely hiding the look of fear.

Sui: (At least hopefully, here, my presence is to give him "peace of mind".)

Shake his hand back, his hand is very warm. Sui's body temperature is lower than normal, and Flo sometimes (especially in summer) leans against her, saying that her body is more useful than the shade of trees.

Usually this only lasts half a minute.Whenever he left, he always said "I can't trouble you anymore", without any nostalgia.

In all fairness, Sui certainly hoped that he would pamper her a few more times... Impossible mission.

Sui: (I remember...it seems to say.)

(The content of each dream is exactly the same...? Why is this happening.)

He immediately took the people around him into his arms, and took the pillow to cushion his arms.

His breathing gradually calmed down, and the night returned to tranquility.

Early the next morning, he and Flo woke up at the same time.

Normally I would be a few hours late, but this time it might be because I paid too much attention to it, so my subconscious had to wake up earlier.

After looking at each other for a while, the first thing to do was to ask him what was going on.

Flo: Huh?

Sui: Last night, last night.

Don't play dumb, you woke me up.

Flo: Late... ah!

sorry!

Sui: I don't mean to blame.

...you looked miserable at the time.

What did you dream about again?

The man was silent for a moment, then got up suddenly and got out of bed, muttering that he had to wash first.

How could it be possible to just let him go like this, and with a jitter, he jumped up and rushed in front of him, blocking the way out of the bedroom.

Sui: If you tell the truth, I will let you go.

...please, I really...

I really want to help you.

You don't even know how I feel when I saw you like that yesterday.

Flo: No, it's fine...

That's it, a few scenes, dreaming back and forth, that's all.

Sui: So, specifically?

Flo: ...

When I was young.

These few words made Sui's heart skip a beat.

Sui: And, again... more specific?

How old...or, uh, where? ...

Sorry, I was so stupid for asking.

In the place where he grew up, I met him for the first time a few years ago.

It was a private building used to buy and sell... population.

The "commodities" inside are all poor children who have been abandoned since birth, are more or less sick or even disabled, and will not live long even if they are not abused inside.

...and because of this, their "prices" are quite low.

Flo: Mr. Sui.

That... Thank you for your concern.

Can I, if possible, not mention this?

After all, I want to forget.At least, let me take it easy during the day.

Sui: Mmm, Mmmmm.

...So, what is the arrangement for today?

Flo: Work, Mr. Sui.

I am different from you, not so lazy.

He made fun of it, but Sui wasn't sad or angry.

On the other hand, seeing him so relaxed is better than seeing him depressed because of a nightmare.

Sui: What time do you leave the house?

Come on, today.

As soon as these words came out, Flo immediately cast a suspicious look.

He scanned himself from top to bottom, and then asked incredulously:

Flo: How are you?

……Physical discomfort?

Sui: Hey hey hey, that's too much.

Can't I be on time once?

Flo: Honestly, I don't think so.

In this regard, Flo is extraordinarily confident.

Of course, he can't be blamed for this, because the impression he usually gives people is really a bit problematic.

...Speaking of which, how did the two bosses get along when they were at home?

After all, we have known each other for a while, and when we think wildly, we will inevitably turn our thoughts to them.
