Chapter 002: Touching Secret Words
"What's wrong with you? You...... It's okay, right? It's still inconvenient to talk in a meeting? Mom knows that you, the chief design director, are always very busy, but today our family has a granddaughter out of thin air, you have to go home and give me and your dad an explanation, right? Feiyang, you have to deal with this matter, you must be responsible for Guanguan's mother! If you dare to be a negative man and ruin our Su family's style, your father and I will never spare you, you know? Okay, Mom doesn't say much, you are done and hurry home!"
Perhaps my silence worried my mother, and her tone on the phone became a little anxious, but she quickly counted me out and hung up the phone.
When I put down my phone, I was dumbfounded! I couldn't help but pinch my face hard.
"Shhh...... It hurts!"
I couldn't help but grin at a tearing pain in my face, and suddenly I knew that I wasn't dreaming at the moment, but really living in real life.
In other words, all the experiences in last night's dream were not illusory, but really related to me!
However, what makes me incomprehensible is that even if the dream of marrying a wife and having a daughter in the ancient tomb last night was a real experience, after the collapse of the ancient tomb, I witnessed the ghost wife and cute girl being burned by the sun to the point of nothing, how could it be possible that my daughter Guanguan still appeared alive in my house?
After all, according to the memories in the dream, the ghost princess and daughter I married are ghosts of the underworld, and it is impossible for them to be safe and sound in the sun.
However, for me, who has read countless fantasy novels of rebirth through time, I quickly thought of another possibility, that is, it cannot be ruled out that I was not dreaming last night, but entered that ancient tomb with an out-of-body soul, which is equivalent to living in that ancient tomb with a ghost wife and cute girl in a soul state for five years.
It's just that the time and space in the ancient tomb are not synchronized with real life, but an independent small world, so I stayed in the ancient tomb for five whole years, which corresponds to only one night in real life.
If it weren't for the accidental collapse of the ancient tomb in the early hours of this morning, and my soul returned to my real-life body, I am afraid that I would have been asleep forever and could have become a vegetative person.
It is not even ruled out that it will be turned into a cold corpse.
Thinking of this, I am also a little entangled, I don't want to sleep inexplicably and never wake up again, let my parents send white-haired people to black-haired people, and I can't bear to lose the ghost wife and cute daughter who have been with me in the ancient tomb for five years.
When I remembered that when I woke up from a dream in the morning, I was sad for a long time because of the loss of my ghost wife and cute girl, and my heart was like a knife, and I couldn't help but die.
But fortunately, my mother called just now and mentioned that a four-year-old girl had come to the house, and she claimed to be my daughter Su Guanguan, which made me feel a lot better.
Although I don't understand how my daughter was reborn in real life, whether she is a human or a ghost, I don't have the heart to investigate the reason at this moment, my only wish is that my daughter can return to me safely is the best ending.
As for whether her mommy Yan Susu also came to real life, I am also optimistic, thinking that she must be alive, as long as time passes, I will definitely be able to find her.
Because I remember that in the ancient tomb, I once held my ghost wife Yan Susu in my arms and affectionately promised her that I would never be separated in my life, even if one day I was unfortunately separated, whether it was the underworld, the yang world, or even hell, I would find her at all costs.
And she also snuggled in my arms and said to me, no matter where she is in the future, whether she is a human or a ghost, even if she no longer remembers me and my daughter, and even if her face has become another person, I hope that I will not give up on her, I must find her, chase her down, and let her be my bride forever.
also specially asked me to remember a passage, as a code word for the identification of the two of us, saying that as long as I hear a girl say this in the future, then she will always love me the most Yan Susu.
And the content of this passage is: If there is an afterlife, I want to make a cocoa tree and nurture all the thoughts of the previous life into cocoa for you to taste, so every moment you eat chocolate tastes different, sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter, sometimes sour...... That's exactly what I miss about you!
"Don't worry, Susu, I'll find you. As for our baby daughter Guanguan, I have found it, and she is at my house at the moment, with my parents taking care of her, you can rest assured. If you have come to real life, whether you are a human or a ghost, and you still remember me and my daughter, I hope you are safe. If...... I mean, if you really don't remember me and my daughter, and even become another woman I don't know, then you must not forget our code words, otherwise where should I go to find you?
As I sat in the conference room, staring sadly at the news on my laptop and falling into deep thought, I was silently muttering to my ghost wife, who had not heard from me for the time being.
"Yo...... It's really rare, our company has always been mixed, and Mr. Su, who has always been optimistic and open-minded, also has a sad side. It can't be that Mr. Tang canceled the design report meeting and made you like this, right? This is a natural and man-made disaster, no wonder you. ”
Just when I was in the middle of a desperate longing for my ghost wife, a familiar woman's slightly surprised voice sounded in my ears and comforted me.
I don't have to look back, I also know who the other party is, she is Lin Xueqi, the beautiful director of the finance department who invited several department directors to lunch at noon.
At that moment, I knew I had lost my temper and forgot for a moment that I was in a public conference room, not my own office.
But I knew in my heart that my hardships were too unbelievable, and I couldn't tell Mr. Lin the truth, and I couldn't tell her that I had an out-of-body soul to live in the ancient tomb for five years last night, and I married a ghost princess and gave birth to a ghost daughter, right?
And even if I wanted to tell her, she would only treat me like a psychopath, so why should I humiliate myself.
In order to hide my sadness, I hurriedly pretended to sigh deeply and said: "Hey, Mr. Lin doesn't know, I thought that I could successfully win Tang Dong's hotel design project this afternoon, and if I signed the contract, I would get a large bonus." And Tang Dong's hotel project will develop in the world in the future, which means that I will continue to get a lot of bonuses every year in the future. Then I will be able to scrape together enough money for my baby daughter, and even enough for her future dowry!"
"Haha! Su Dacaizi, you are really worrying! It seems that you are still alone at the age of thirty this Chinese New Year's Eve, right? You don't have half a girlfriend, and you are even more out of reach from getting married, where does the so-called daughter milk powder money worry you? Besides, how do you know that you must be a daughter in the future? What if you are a silly boy like you in your life? Don't tell me that you casually had a dream last night and married a beautiful woman and gave birth to a baby daughter for you, haha!"
After listening to my words, Lin Xueqi leaned back and said with a smile.
"How do you know that I dreamed last night that I married a beautiful woman and gave birth to a daughter?"
Listening to Lin Xueqi's casual nonsense, although I knew in my heart that it might just be a coincidence, I couldn't help but ask in surprise.
After finishing speaking, I realized that I had lost my temper again, and I was afraid that Lin Xueqi, who had always been sharp-minded, would see through the mystery.
Because she and I are not only colleagues for many years, we are at the same table in elementary school, but also confidants who talk about everything in private, and we know each other's personalities and ideas very well.
And she is naturally sensitive, thoughtful, and loves divination, dream interpretation and the study of supernatural events, and has the special ability to see through the hearts of others, so I know that she already believes that I did have such a ridiculous dream last night.
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, I saw Lin Xueqi, who had been laughing nonstop, stopping, staring at my eyes with a serious face and whispering, "Won't you? Could it be that you really dreamed of marrying a beauty last night?" and gave birth to a baby daughter?"
"Let's go, go to my office and say, it's not convenient here. To be honest, I've really encountered mysterious events that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and maybe I really need your help this time. ”
Looking at the eyes of Lin Xueqi, who had completely believed in me in front of me, I knew that it didn't make much sense to deliberately conceal it, so I simply replied generously.
"Seeing that your face is not good, go to the bathroom and wash your face? I'll help you clean up here, and I'll go to your office to talk about it later." ”
Lin Xueqi looked at me worriedly and said understandingly.
"Alright then, I'll bother you, I'll see you later. ”
Lin Xueqi's suggestion also made me feel that I was in the right place, so I didn't refuse, and after a simple word, I turned around and walked to the bathroom.
When I got to the bathroom, I boiled up the cold water and splashed it on my face to keep myself awake.
By the way, I also brushed up my thoughts, that is, how to explain my experience to Lin Xueqi when I returned to the office later.
Of course, I know that even if I tell Lin Xueqi, I can't tell him, I still have to have reservations.
For example, now that my daughter Guanguan is already at my house, sooner or later the neighbors and colleagues will know, so there is no need to hide anything, but the matter about Yan Susu is still unclear, and I don't know what kind of identity she will appear in front of me, so I plan to be vague, lest Yan Susu really appear in the future, and I will be in trouble if I can't justify myself.
When I returned to the office, I saw that Lin Xueqi was already sitting there waiting for me.
Not only did he help me tidy up my messy tabletop, but he also poured me a cup of tea, a steaming lunch, and a box of beautiful-looking chocolates, apparently knowing that I hadn't eaten properly at noon, and I must have been hungry at the moment.
"Thank you, I'm really thirsty and hungry, to be honest. ”
I closed the door casually, sat down a little tired, drank the tea in one go, and picked up the chopsticks as I ate.
"Eat slowly, don't rush. This is when I invited them to eat at noon, I specially packed it back from the restaurant, and you didn't go to the plan in a hurry, so I simply packed it for you. I originally wanted to wait for you to report to Tang Dong in the afternoon after the plan was over, and then heat it up in the microwave for you to eat, but now it happens that Tang Dong has canceled the meeting, so you can eat it quickly. Don't spoil your stomach. ”
Lin Xueqi stood up and picked up my empty cup, and said with concern while refilling it for me.
After that, the two of us didn't speak again, Lin Xueqi fiddled with her phone, and I ate with my head down.
"Well, this restaurant tastes good, spicy and fragrant, which suits my taste very well. What's the deal with this box of chocolates? Don't you never buy such fattening snacks?"
When I gobbled up the lunch box quickly, I said in admiration, and picked up the chocolate next to me and asked casually.
"This box of chocolates was given by the proprietress of the restaurant when I paid for it, and I don't like sweets, so I'll give it to you. But to be honest, this box is indeed beautifully printed, especially the advertising slogan behind it is even more touching. ”
Lin Xueqi replied with emotion while helping me clean up the lunch box on the table.
"Advertising words? The advertising slogan that can make you feel that even a cold-blooded talented woman feels touching must be ......"
Curious, I flipped over the chocolate box and said as I looked at it, but I couldn't go on with it halfway through.
Because I saw that this advertising slogan was actually the code sentence that Yan Susu and I had agreed on in the ancient tomb:
If there is an afterlife, I want to make a cocoa tree and nurture all the thoughts of the previous life into cocoa for you to taste, so every moment you eat chocolate tastes different, sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter, sometimes sour...... That's exactly what I miss about you!
