Chapter 23: It's good to have you by your side

I didn't dare to answer her, feeling that everything around me had become strange and indistinguishable. It was as if I saw the rock walls of the cave begin to float like waves on the surface of the sea. Looking up again, the rock at the top flickered and flickered, like a universe full of stars.

"What's the matter, Chen Ye, are you okay, why don't you leave?"

Hearing Xia Yan's voice, I pulled myself back from my boundless fantasies, and everything around me changed back to its original state.

The deeper you go, the colder the air in the cave becomes, and the sound of the stream flowing, the sound of the torrential rain outside the cave, and the sound of water drops from the stalactites make the cave full of a misty feeling.

"Chen Ye, I'm so cold. ”

I touched Xia Yan's hand, it was biting cold from the inside out, I couldn't feel a trace of body temperature, and I shivered from time to time. I looked at her with some wistfulness, her face was pale, and her lips were bloodless, like a poplar covered with snow in winter.

"Then put my coat on. I took off my half-dried coat and put it on her.

I quickened my pace, pulled Xia Yan and continued to walk forward, saying to her as I walked, "Xia Yan, it's okay, we will definitely find another exit to leave here." ”

"Hmm. Xia Yan replied.

After walking for a while, I heard Xia Yan behind me say softly: "Chen Ye, do you know? Actually, I'm not in a hurry to go out at all, the stone walls and moss in this cave, because you are by my side, these things have become meaningful, if it is not you by my side, then these scenery in front of me are nothing more than that, because by my side is you, then all this today is a journey without regrets." ”

Listening to her words, I didn't even dare to look back at her, as if I was not worthy of her liking at this moment.

Just when I didn't know what to say, a ray of white sunlight came in out of nowhere, shining on the star-covered cave. The white light was getting stronger and stronger, and I forced myself to open my eyes, and Xia Yan and the treacherous cave beside me had disappeared, and I lay on the bed in a daze, looking at the white and empty ceiling.

"Chen Ye. "I suddenly heard my mom calling me. "Are you awake? When you're awake, come down to breakfast, I have something else to tell you. ”

Then, I cleaned up, washed up, and went downstairs. As soon as I sat down at the table, I asked my mother, "Mom, what are you looking for me?"

My mother stood opposite, packing up the things on the table in her hands, and said to me, "Chen Ye, you and Yi Xin have been engaged for more than two years, when are you going to hold the wedding?"

My mother's words were unexpected, and I replied a little overwhelmed, "I'm so busy at work every day, how can I have time to think about this." ”

Hearing me say this, my mother stopped what she was doing, sat down, and said to me in an almost reprimanding tone: "What are you busy with, I see you just don't bother to think about it." ”

I smirked, picked up the cutlery in front of me, and said, "No, Mom, it's very troublesome to hold a wedding, and you have to prepare all kinds of things, how can Yixin and I have so much time to think about this." ”

After that, I took a few mouthfuls of porridge and asked my mother, "By the way, Mom, is there anything you particularly want to go?"

At this time, my mother looked at me with a serious face and said, "You don't change the topic for me, even if you are busy, you should ask Yi Xin what she thinks, have you asked her?"

I was silent for a moment, and it took a long time for two words to come out of my mouth: "No." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, my mother stood up again and went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes, and I heard her say to me in the kitchen: "I really can't expect you kid at all, and the next time I see Yi Xin, I'll go and ask you what Yi Xin plans to get married." ”

After listening to her words, I hurriedly said to her: "Mom, it's actually not necessary, Yixin and I are getting along very well now." ”

"What's the use of just being good, it's just to take advantage of the present time to hurry up and get your marriage done. In this way, I am also relieved, and besides, when you and Yixin have a child in the future, I can still help you bring it. Her tone seemed a little dissatisfied.

After listening to this, I had to reply helplessly: "Okay, when I have time in the future, I'll ask Yi Xin what he thinks." ”

My mother came out of the kitchen again, stood at the door, looked at me and said, "Don't wait for later, you should forget it after a long time, I see, just tomorrow, you call Yixin to the house for dinner, and I will cook you something delicious." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell her later. ”

After breakfast, I went out to work. At noon, I called Xiao Jun, thinking that he would accompany me to my original school after work to find out what was going on in my dream.

It wasn't until around four o'clock in the afternoon that I saw Xiao Jun at the gate of the high school, getting out of a black car and wearing a brown coat. I heard him calling my name from afar.

"Chen Ye, are you here to find something about amnesia?"

When he came up to me, I answered him and said, "yes, I want to come to the school." ”

"Oh, brother, I said don't look for it, how sad it would be if Ishin knew. He quipped.

I looked at Xiao Jun with a hippie smile and said seriously: "That's why I'm looking for it, I want to give myself an innocence." ”

After speaking, Xiao Jun and I went to the school together, and there was no scenery like in my dream, no quaint red walls, and no green vines. Xiao Jun and I walked on a dirt-colored path one after the other. On both sides of the path, weeds half a man tall grew in an orderly manner on the open land of my dreams, and a few big trees also grew aside, like rebellious children of sixteen or seventeen years old.

As I walked, I explained to Xiao Jun those strange dreams I had recently: "Xiao Jun, do you know? I often dream of Xia Yan, dream of going to the beach with her, watching the snow together in high school, dream of talking about death is the unpredictable expression on her face, dream of being lost in a cave, her hands tremble and restless. ”

Xiao Jun didn't speak, and turned his head to the side.

I continued: "I wanted to find that person, not for anything else, but to find out what kind of person Xia Yan really was and what connection she had with me. ”

Xiao Jun still didn't answer me, but I didn't stop talking because of this, as if I wasn't saying this to Xiao Jun, but more like asking myself, I said to myself: "Does she dream of me?" If she often dreams of me, then I should go to her to make it clear, I want her to know that I don't love her, and I am not the person who deserves her to love with her life, we have our own lives. ”

"But where to look? I don't know where to start, and Xia Yan didn't leave me any clues. I then asked myself.
