Chapter 18: Ye Jing's Dream
Returning to the dormitory from the ghost building, the heavy rain had stopped, and the rumbling thunder was like the sound of the engine of a passing plane, gradually fading away in the clouds. Ye Jing wanted to see the sun after the rain, but she reluctantly found that after a few tosses, it was now time for the sun to set.
Ye Jing, who was tired, thought that she might be able to rest earlier today, so she lazily climbed onto the head of the bed. The soft and fragrant futon was like a magnet, firmly absorbing Ye Jing the moment it touched her body, and the relaxed comfort of her whole body made her close her eyes without thinking.
Soon, lethargy set in. In a daze, Ye Jing seemed to hear someone calling her in her ear, but at this moment she was completely conquered by sleepiness, and let her head turn black like a closed display.
"Squeak squeak squeak ~~~" A rapid cicada chirp instantly rendered the black in front of him into bright white, and through the eyelids, the outside seemed to be as bright as dawn.
"How long have you been asleep?Why is it dawn?" This confusion prompted Ye Jing to open her eyes, and at the same time, this action instantly made her sleepy disappear.
Ye Jing, who woke up, was shocked to find that she was standing barefoot on a path covered with smooth pebbles!
She looked at her side in a panic and couldn't help but be stunned.
On the right side of the road is a row of abandoned houses with walls soaked in gray and black water, and the glassless windowsills resemble a pair of hollow eyes, dripping with ochre rust. The broken gate swayed in the wind, emitting a screeching scream. A spontaneous uneasiness forced Ye Jing, who was already flustered, to hurriedly move her gaze away.
This turn was also eye-popping, and Ye Jing was surprised to find that the left side of the road was actually a completely different large lawn. The fragrance of flowers is overflowing, vibrant, the breeze blows, and butterflies dance in it. The orange-red sun hung high in the sky, staining the lawn a charming golden yellow, but casting only a large shadow on the houses on the other side of the road.
One side is like hell, the other side is like heaven.
Ye Jing instinctively pulled out her feet towards the lawn, but found that she couldn't take a step.
"Boom~~" The sudden thunder made Ye Jing startled. She could only stay where she was, and hurriedly looked back and forth at the completely different scenes on both sides, looking for the origin of the thunder. However, whether it is a clear sky on the left and a red sun, or a miserable wind on the right, everything is silent. There was not a trace of lightning to be captured, and the dull thunder was like the surround sound of a movie theater, suspended in the air but only heard.
"No......" A certain circuit in Ye Jing's memory gradually became clear, so she opened her mouth to shout something, as expected, she couldn't hear her own voice.
Once in my dreams, I struggled with the choice between the two worlds several times, and those experiences had crossed the floodgates of memory like a tide at this time.
How so? Isn't it all over? Isn't it......
Before she could figure it out, she suddenly felt a stumble, and her body involuntarily fell to the ground. Ye Jing hurriedly took a big step and reluctantly pulled back the center of gravity that leaned forward. It's just that when he turned around, he found that with just this step, Fang Cai's position was already 100 meters away from him!
This is?!
Ye Jing frowned, pursing her lips and thinking about something, but in the end, curiosity prevailed. I saw that she tentatively lifted one leg, and when she gently lowered her steps, she suddenly realized that the ground under her feet had become buttery, and in order to avoid slipping, Ye Jing hurriedly took another step. When it bottoms out, the ankle also slides backwards very quickly. Then, like a water wheel, a strong sense of lag came, forcing Ye Jing to keep changing her steps to maintain her balance, seeing that the amplitude of the steps became larger and faster, and the powerless Ye Jing gradually lost control.
"Miserable...... It's miserable, it's okay! If you want to fall, just fall hard!" So Ye Jing turned her heart sideways, held her breath, closed her eyes and threw herself forward.
To her surprise, after feeling the brief levitation, Ye Jing did not feel the pain after falling. In fact, she felt as if she had fallen into a cloud of air. Ye Jing, who struggled to get up, looked up and suddenly saw a girl standing in front of her.
The girl was dressed in a bright red dress, and her long black hair fluttered to one side in the wind. However, the strange thing is that Ye Jing, who was facing her face to face at this moment, couldn't feel a trace of breeze.
Because of her previous experience of walking in dreams, Ye Jing didn't care about not being able to see the girl's face clearly. However, at this time, the girl's vague appearance reminded her of the girl on the leaflet of the Supernatural Society!
"That's it...... That's her!"
Ye Jing only glanced at the flyer, and it was impossible to remember exactly what the girl in the portrait looked like, but for some reason, Ye Jing just couldn't convince herself, the girl in front of her and the girl in the portrait were not the same person.
If you've dreamed of this girl, does that mean a lot of people have dreamed of her? And now that includes yourself?
Ye Jing was rarely startled, and a slight pain in her heart suddenly made her sit up from the bed. The familiar home furnishings in the bedroom came into view, and suddenly the instant switch between dream and reality, Ye Jing's head swelled as if it had fallen into jet lag.
"Hmm......" Ye Jing's hands rubbing his head gradually slowed down, and a hint of foreboding lingered in his heart.
To be honest, the memories of the two worlds are like the bitter gall hanging in her heart, and the slightest touch will inevitably stir up a few wisps of bitterness.
If you can forget, it's a sunny day. Ye Jing tried to convince herself that life here was the truest way it was. I'm a girl, I've always been like this, but I've been raised as a boy since I was a child, and my personality is different from others!
"No, no, no...... Thinking about it day and dreaming at night......" Ye Jing began to vigorously deny that all this happened because of his special identity as a 'lighthouse'.
"That's right...... If you think about it carefully, isn't everything in your dream a portrayal of today's life? First the ghost building, then the thunderstorm, and that girl! That's right...... I dreamed of her not because of some supernatural phenomenon, but because of the flyer that made me think about it subconsciously!"
"Ye Jing, are you awake?"
"Huh?"
Liu Lian's sudden voice startled Ye Jing.
"What are you thinking? Look at you holding your head motionless~~"
"Uh? No...... It's nothing......" Ye Jing hurriedly lowered her arm, and then changed the topic, "What about Senior Sister Luqi?"
"What an old rule, I went for a run early in the morning~~" Liu Lian smacked her mouth and was eating breakfast, "Go brush your teeth, I've already bought breakfast for you~~"
"Oh, thank you......" Ye Jing scratched her hair and muttered: "Why didn't Senior Sister call us to go for a run today......
"Shouting~~" Liu Lian took a sip of milk, "Senior sister has been shaking you by your bedside for a long time, even I was woken up, and you still sleep like a pig~~"
"Hmm......" I slept too deeply, so I guess I had those strange dreams.
"Okay, okay, don't rub it off, hurry up~~" Liu Lian, who was full of food and drink, patted the food scraps in her hand, "It's rare that I got up early today to help you prepare breakfast, enjoy the light and eat quickly, we still have a lot of things to do in a while." ”
"Hah, what's the matter?The military training is over~~"
"I please, you forgot so quickly?" Liu Lian shouted, "Go and set a look for the idol catwalk!"
"......" Ye Jing fell into the quilt again when she heard this, "I...... I'm going to sleep a little longer......"
