Chapter 7: The New Steward

"When-when-when-"

Mengxi woke up to the sound of the old clock, and she sat up suddenly, seeing that she was sitting on the bed, still holding last night's textbook in her hand.

So...... Is it all a dream?

She looked up, remembering the man named Birch she had seen in her dream last night, and if it was true, where had he gone...... Or do you have to see it in a dream?

"It's so boring...... Mengxi muttered and got up. He said he was her servant, and it turned out to be in a dream.

Mengxi scratched his head, opened the door, and suddenly, smelled the fragrance of coffee. Surprised, she immediately rushed to the kitchen in surprise.

She stopped at the door of the kitchen panting, and when she leaned on the door frame and looked into the kitchen, she saw the clear morning light falling on the mature man, who changed into a stand-up collar shirt and black suit vest just like the thirties, like a little brother at the coffee bar counter, holding coffee and smiling at Mengxi in the morning light.

"Good morning, my lovely young lady. A pleasant voice came out of his mouth, like a dream.

Mengxi walked into the kitchen in disbelief and slowly approached him. His long hair was already combed back at the back of his head, and the pale purple of his long silver-gray hair was even more pronounced in the morning light.

He leisurely held his coffee cup in his hand, and seemed to be enjoying the good morning.

Mengxi walked up to him, stretched out her finger curiously, and poked his white face.

He didn't care, but responded with a doting smile: "What, think I'm fake?"

"It's true!" Mengxi exclaimed, laughing, "How is that possible?"

Birch picked up the steaming coffee cup and pointed to the entire Dream Mansion: "In the Dream House, nothing is impossible. ”

Mengxi also looked around again: "Now this place is called Dream Mansion." ”

"En~~" Birch nodded and took a sip of coffee, "This name is very good, there is a sense of age." ”

Mengxi continued to stare at Birch with wide eyes, like a curious baby, with too many questions to be answered in him: "Then are you alive?

Birch put down the coffee cup, pulled out the chair at the table, and gentlemanly invited Mengxi to sit down: "I am alive, but there is a certain relativity. ”

Mengxi sat down and still looked at this Birch intently.

Birch went to the window and stretched his hand out of the window, and when his on-the-spot fingers poked out of the confines of the Dream Mansion and into the air of the outside world, his hand seemed to disappear, turning into a little starlight.

"Ahh

Compared with Mengxi's surprise and anxiety, Birch seemed very calm. He withdrew his hand, and the starlight formed his hand again.

"So, I can only exist in dreams, and in this dream mansion. Birch smiled at Mengxi.

Mengxi's eyes lost the initial surprise, and he gradually became sad.

Birch turned around and poured a small wonton into the hot water after turning on the pot of boiling water.

Mengxi saw the notepad on the table, took it again and rubbed it gently in his hand: "It's not like a golden bird, or there is no freedom......"

"That's good for me. Birch fished out the small wontons that looked like white goldfish and sprinkled them with chopped green onions, and immediately the air was filled with the scent of green onions. He put the little wonton in front of Mengxi, and Mengxi was surprised that there were actually small wontons to eat today.

"Some people like to be lively, while others like to be quiet. Neck sat opposite Mengxi, holding a coffee cup and smiling, "Like me." In modern terms, it should be called like home. ”

Mengxi raised his face and looked at the satisfied and happy smile on his face, and his heart was relieved. Some people can't stay idle at home, and if they don't go out, it will be like going to jail and suffering all over.

But some people like to stay at home, but they feel uncomfortable when they go out.

And she dreams of the tide, and she also prefers to stay at home and feels very comfortable.

Mengxi smiled with relief, looked at the little wonton in front of him, and gave a thumbs up appreciatively: "You actually make small wontons." ”

Birch's charming smile revealed seriousness: "With me, you are not allowed to eat those non-nutritious things in the future." ”

Mengxi was startled and immediately looked at the food cabinet: "My instant noodles ......"

"Temporary confiscation. ”

Mengxi collapsed his face.

Birch took a sip of his coffee: "Your manual has been updated again, don't you want to read it?"

Mengxi was reminded by him to open it immediately, and sure enough, there was another one on it: "The fifth: The dream demon will knock on the door in the dream, tuk tuk, don't open the ......" Mengxi looked at it for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "Poof." ”

"What are you laughing at?" Birch clasped his hands on the dining table and stared at Mengxi.

Mengxi raised her face and couldn't help but smile: "I think this manual is more like hindsight, always telling me how to use it after something happens." ”

After hearing this, Birch lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "My lovely young lady, you may have misunderstood this manual. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Mengxi looked at Birch suspiciously.

Birch raised his eyes to look at him again, and his black eyes also shone with a hint of dreamy purple light: "This manual is your own notebook, it is not to teach you how to use the Dream Mansion, but to let you record all kinds of discoveries about the Dream Mansion in the notebook." ”

Mengxi's expression began to become more and more surprised in Birch's words.

"Every heir to the House of Dreams will give birth to such a manual, and when this manual is full, this heir can truly become a qualified dream catcher. Birch put his hands under his chin, his eyes lit up but serious, "It's a blank exam paper, and you need to write the answers yourself, not an answer, so that when you enter the door, you can plagiarize." ”

Mengxi slowly came back to his senses in surprise: "So...... I actually wrote these myself?" Mengxi pointed to the terms in the manual.

Birch nodded, "You've done a great job, you've only been here for three days, and you've discovered so many secrets about the House of Dreams, keep up the good work! ”

After receiving Birch's guidance and praise, Mengxi's face turned slightly red in the morning light, and his smile became brighter. It's like getting a 100 points for the first time, no, this time it's more than a full score in the test, and she is happy and full of a sense of accomplishment.

She began to gulp down the small ravioli, giving Birch a thumbs up while eating, don't look at it as just a small ravioli, it's not easy to cook it well.

"My lovely young lady, your cousin is already dreaming, and you can now enter into his dream. Birch reminded with a smile, like Mengxi's housekeeper and secretary.

Mengxi looked at Birch in surprise: "How do you know everything?"

Birch smiled mysteriously: "As long as you are in the Dream Mansion, what you think, I will know." Don't forget, I'm a dream demon. Dream demons can sleep and tempt others, which is why you heard them knock on the door last night. ”

Mengxi nodded suddenly, and when she bit her lip and smiled evilly, she had already rushed upstairs.

Birch smiled dotingly, picked up the coffee cup, and there was already a love pie in his hand, he studied it for a while, nodded, showed an appreciative gaze, and then looked at it leisurely.
