"Tick, tick, tick......" The sound of water droplets rang in his ears, and the echo kept breaking through his eardrums, and he woke up to find himself in the middle of his fingers.

"Sewers? Is it a sewer? Even if it's just the sound of water droplets, it feels very loud...... The only place you can think of is the sewer. Kiyowa touched the wall next to him and walked forward little by little.

"Little April, little April...... Come to me......" A soft, impatient voice sounded in his ears, the voice was very familiar, but he could not remember who it was.

"Why, don't you even want to see me, Mom, I'm so lonely......" When the owner of the voice claimed to be his mother, the darkness around him suddenly dissipated, and what appeared in front of Qinghe's eyes was the light from his own bathroom, and he saw the water coming out of the bathtub, and his mother who was lying inside, wearing white pajamas, half of her body exposed. Because the hot water switch has not been turned off, the water is constantly bubbling out, and the people in the bathtub are not only pale because they have been soaking for too long, but their skin is also wrinkled. As she spoke, the person who was half-leaning in the bathtub suddenly sat up and stretched out his hands in the hope that Qinghe would go to her. The wound on her left wrist was deep, and the blood was pouring out, staining the white pajamas red, but she didn't seem to care about it at all, just smiled and beckoned Kiyowa to go to her.

"Qinghe, your father ignores me, and I'm the only one left...... Come to Mommy......" She looked at Qinghe and looked very embarrassed.

"No, don't ......" Qinghe wanted to refuse, but found that he seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move at all, and couldn't even make a sound.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ...... "Kiyowa felt that his breathing was getting shorter and shorter, and he could even hear the sound of his own breathing.

Seeing that Qinghe was reluctant to go over, my mother hesitated for a long time and finally climbed out of the bathtub.

"My good darling...... Mother is coming to you...... Stand still...... Wait here......" She grinned, her wet hair dripping with water, and she ...... Two-step ...... I am walking towards Qinghe.

"No...... Don't come here!" He finally shouted, opening his eyes, only to find himself still lying on the bed. His forehead was dripping with sweat, and it seemed that he had another nightmare, this dream had not been done for a long time, and I don't know why I had this dream again today.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, but now that he woke up, he really couldn't fall asleep again. Maybe it's because the curtain is drawn, the light in the ward is relatively weak, and Qianqiu's sleeping appearance is not very good, and there is a hand hanging outside. He lay flat on the bed and reached out to take Chiaki's outstretched hand, which was warm and small, but with some tiny calluses.

"You have to live well...... At least live longer than me......" After a long time, Qinghe still didn't mean to let go of his hand, and it wasn't until the hand shook back that he was suddenly startled.

"What, did you have a nightmare?" Chiaki turned his face and touched Kiyozu's forehead with one hand, just like he usually does.

"You're sweating a lot, is it because it's too hot?" Qianqiu pulled his hand back, got up and found a towel to wipe his sweat, "What kind of nightmare did you have, why didn't you say a word?"

"It's nothing, it's just a dream of things when I was a child...... Qinghe shook his head, he never wanted to take the initiative to talk to others about what happened when he was a child, even Chen Yu, he rarely spoke, let alone Zhao Qianqiu now.

"That'...... Since you can't sleep, let's talk about the sky for a dollar......" Chiaki propped up her head and smiled at Qinghe, as if the person who was extremely anxious before going to bed was someone else's.

"So what are we going to talk about?" Seeing Chiaki's face, his face looked a little better, and because it was darker, Chiaki didn't notice the change in his expression at this time.

"Let's talk about the little garden...... This illness, I thought about it a lot, and I can't make enough money in my life, and I seem to have made the wrong direction of my efforts so desperately. I have a lot of things I want to do, and I always feel that just being alive is a good thing. Thank you Qinghe, if it weren't for you, I might have died by now. Chiaki still maintained the posture she had just held and reached out to pull Kiyowa.

"Without you, I would have died. Qinghe couldn't say this, he glanced at Qianqiu several times, pinched her face with his hand, and then pretended to be calm and asked, "Then it is your dream to have a small garden?"

"Well, you have to have a piece of land, grow all kinds of vegetables, and all kinds of flowers, and live in a place like that, you must be very happy......

"Sunrise, sunset, return to the most primitive state of life, this seems really good......" Kiyowa nodded, expressing his agreement with Chiaki's idea, but, I don't know, there is no place for him in the future she fantasizes about.

"If only my dad hadn't sold his land in the countryside so we could go back there and grow something. "For a person like Chiaki, who is so poor that he can't eat, that kind of dream is a naked slap in the face.

"If not, we can rent it, go to the countryside and pick a remote and quiet place, find a small house, renovate or demolish and rebuild, rent a few acres of land, rent it for ten or twenty years, and then you add all kinds of flowers and trees you like little by little, both Soviet-style and European-style, whatever you like. Raise some chickens, ducks, geese, two dogs, and even cattle, sheep and pigs, so that you can be completely self-sufficient. "For that kind of life similar to seclusion, when Qianqiu said this, Qinghe also began to yearn for it, and it was more detailed than Qianqiu. He studied design, in addition to designing bridges, simple house design is not a difficult task for him, as long as he is willing to spend a little time, the dream garden house will definitely achieve the desired effect.

"Well, it would be nice if I had a lot of money, if I had a child in the future, I would have a lot of money, as the saying goes, people are like their names, he will have a lot of money in the future, and I will be expensive for my mother and son. When Qianqiu said this, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and she quarreled with the bed next door, but fortunately, the other party didn't have much opinion, so she stuck out her tongue at Qinghe.

"I don't agree!" Qinghe thought for a while and said, "It's called Zheng Qian Duoduo, such a name is not very good, or it's better to call it Zheng Duoqian." ”

"But the name Zheng Duoqian is so cheesy, or Qian Duoduo is better. Zhao Qianqiu immediately retorted, she almost followed what Qinghe said just now, but after responding, she realized what information Qinghe was carrying in his words, "Anyway, are you taking advantage of me nakedly just now, why does my son want to call Zheng Duoqian?"

"Isn't it okay?" Qinghe looked innocent, "I think the name Zheng Duoqian is simple and atmospheric, I don't feel annoying when I hear it, the key is that it meets your requirements, and it also means a lot of money, what's wrong?"

"I'm not saying that the name Duoqian is not good, but why is it called Zheng Duoqian......" Qianqiu pointed at Qinghe a little angrily, but obviously not angry.

"Isn't it natural for my child to be called Zheng Duoqian, if you insist, it's okay to call Zhao Duoqian or Zhao Duojin, I don't have any opinion on this. Qinghe said it so naturally that Qianqiu didn't know how to refute it.

"......" after a long gap. Chiaki finally came to her senses from this surprise, "So, has there always been a place for me in your fantasy future?"

"yes, don't you have a room reserved for me in your little garden?" Seiwa finally said what he had always wanted to ask, and finally, he still wanted to know what Chiaki thought of him.

"Yes, because Qinghe is now an important family member, no matter what we become in the future, you are irreplaceable family members...... Even if you have your own wife and children in the future, I will bless you from the bottom of my heart. When she said this, Chiaki's heart suddenly chuckled, and for some reason, she suddenly felt very painful.

"What do you mean that I have my own wife and children, I don't really understand what you said......" Kiyowa suddenly became a little excited when he heard that, he sat up from the escort bed, grabbed Chiaki's arm and asked excitedly.

"You scratch me a little painful, can you let go of the ...... first" This kind of Qinghe, Qianqiu is the first time to see it, and I forgot what I wanted to say.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was a little excited all of a sudden......" Qinghe suddenly realized that he was irrational, and hurriedly let go of his hand, but quickly hugged Chiaki, "Can you stop saying such things in the future?" I always feel so sad after hearing it, like you don't want me anymore...... Obviously I'm here, I won't go anywhere, and I won't marry someone else and have children, I just need you to be enough, even if I don't have children, it doesn't matter......" Qinghe buried his head in Qianqiu's arms, his voice was a little choked, as if he was crying, but as if he didn't.

Qianqiu was stunned, and after a long time, he reached out and gently patted Qinghe's back, "But I also want to see you happy, there is no future with me, and I'm not even sure if I can live to be thirty years old." ”

"How can we be happy without your future?" Qinghe not only did not let go, but grabbed tighter, "Your illness is nothing at all, after this treatment, once we find a suitable place, we will immediately move to the countryside to live, I want to have your garden, with your future." You will live a long time, longer than I am, and there will be a day when we will become old men and old ladies. ”

"Are you crying?" Chiaki touched Kiyowa's hair, leaned down and kissed it.

"Well, so don't say that again......"

"Got it, I won't talk about it again...... So don't cry anymore, if you do, I'll cry too. Qianqiu helped Qinghe smooth his back, as if he was really crying at the moment, of course, in fact, no.

"Ahem...... Didn't you two quarrel??" The old lady next door saw that there had been no movement on their side for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"Well, we're not arguing...... Qianqiu suddenly realized that there was someone next door after hearing the voice, and he was embarrassed for a while, and he wanted to push Qinghe away immediately, but the other party actually fell asleep in this position.

"Huh...... It turns out that Qinghe is so cute......" Zhao Qianqiu shook his head, and Ren Qinghe fell asleep like this.

Qinghe felt that he had never slept so comfortably, although he had only slept for more than an hour, but in Qianqiu's arms, he had slept so peacefully, what were they talking about before, and he remembered it for a long time. When I woke up, I found that Chiaki had been staring at her, and she was very embarrassed to be smiling.

"Eh, am I asleep?" Kiyowa asked cautiously, looking at Chiaki.

"......" Chiaki didn't speak, just nodded.

"Slept for a long time?"

"It's not long, it's almost an hour, I can't bear to call you ...... when I see you sleeping so soundly" Qianqiu said a little embarrassed, "The companion bed didn't sleep comfortably, so you didn't sleep much last night, right? ”

"Is that okay?" Kiyowa looked at Chiaki with some suspicion, was she inviting herself like this?

"Yes, haven't you slept once before, and it won't be very crowded for two people to sleep...... If you collapse first, then who am I going to rely on?" Chiaki had also seriously considered this when she said this, of course, she didn't think about men and women at all, but when she remembered this conversation later, she wished that she had amnesia.

After that, as long as he slept next to Chiaki, he had never had such a nightmare, for him, Chiaki itself was light, the light that could drive away the nightmare, as long as there was light, the nightmare would not erode him.
