Chapter 49: Dreams

The food stalls at night are always noisy, whether it is cold or hot. People sit at the table, sometimes talking, sometimes whispering, under the influence of alcohol and night, gorgeously complete the dress, change out of the pretend reserved coat of the day, put on a seemingly indulgent, confused disguise, wantonly perform smug acting, in order to win the approval of their peers, in the hope of being able to temporarily forget themselves in the blurred night.

Looking at the dark and gloomy sky outside, maybe it wasn't just the late autumn night, I thought.

Everyone drank a little too much, Sun Hao was foaming at the mouth and debating something with Zhang Hui, it could be seen from his smug and cunning eyes that he once again used sophistry to win Zhang Hui, and Zhang Hui had to shrug his shoulders to show his acquiescence, maybe the latter did not fully agree, but the shrugging from time to time revealed his powerlessness and helplessness.

Zhou Ying was whispering something to Feng Xiaolu, looking at me and Lu Xue from time to time, and whispering and laughing from time to time, women always have so many topics to talk about, so many little secrets that no one knows.

Until now, I still don't know why Ruxue is angry, is it because of my actions or my thoughts? Cognitive or logical inertia? I shook my head and looked at Luxue sitting next to her, who was back to the girl who liked to sit quietly and smile from time to time. A woman's temper comes and goes as fast as she goes. I guess I'll never guess why she's angry.

I picked up my glass and drank the Coke inside, looked up at the noisy hall, and shook my head slightly, the noise is never as real as the quiet. Lu Xue looked at me with a smile, picked up the Coke and poured it back for me, and I nodded at her knowingly.

"Again, what kind of dumb riddle are you guys playing?" Feng Xiaolu looked at us in amazement, "You guys really have a tacit understanding." ”

"Yes, yes. It's really enviable. Zhou Ying nodded hurriedly, agreeing with her statement.

"We're not the kind of relationship you think we're in." I said calmly.

"Cut." Feng Xiaolu pursed her lips disdainfully.

"Who believes it?" Zhou Ying glanced at me with disdain, her eyes full of ridicule and dissatisfaction.

"We're really not" I wanted to defend but saw Lu Xue smile and stretch out a finger in front of my eyes, for no reason I felt my heart beat violently, picked up the cup and took a big sip, looking up, the night seemed to be more blurred.

Aren't we really that kind of relationship?

I shook my head slightly, not wanting to think about it anymore.

"Hey, Xiaoshan, why don't you drink today?" Sun Hao and the others were also attracted by Zhou Ying's words, and they also looked at us.

"I said it, I'm going to make black pearls with Xiao Yin today, and today is the final assembly."

"Cut, I'm asking you, why don't you postpone it for a day."

"It's been a long time." I replied calmly.

"Yo-yo, in order to satisfy others, sacrifice yourself and us, you are really great, Brother Xiaoshan." Sun Hao finally suddenly learned Lu Xue's tone.

Everyone burst into laughter, and Lu Xue glanced at Sun Hao complainingly.

"What do you see, isn't what my brother said wrong?" Sun Hao did not hesitate.

"Forget it, Xiaoshan is such a person, we have known him for so long, it's not that we don't know." Zhou Ying hurriedly played the round, "But, Xiaoshan, I'm very strange, a calm and even rigid person like you, have you ever indulged yourself?" ”

"Nope." I said without thinking about it.

"No, I mean ask, have you ever had a dream?" With a light smile on the corner of her mouth, Zhou Ying stared straight at me, and her tone was extremely serious.

"Dreams? What does dreaming have to do with indulgence? I asked rhetorically.

"What do you say?" Zhang Hui shrugged and threw the question back to me.

"Alright, don't look for superiority from Xiaoshan." Sun Hao said to Zhang Hui dissatisfied, and the latter shrugged again.

Dreams, ** beautiful expectations, yes, how can there be ** if you don't know how to indulge yourself, there will be expectations, I, no dreams.

"I don't have a dream." I said lightly, and the night outside the window seemed to be darker.

"Shh There was a sudden burst of boos from them.

Dreams, I shook my head.

When we returned to the residence, the last rain of the year finally fell, Zhou Yingxu drank a little too much, and went back to the room early to rest, Xiaoyin came as promised, Lu Xue made a pot of tea, and watched with a smile as we did the final assembly.

Xiao Yin and I carefully installed the mast, pulled the canvas, tied the rope, and the Black Pearl was finally completed. Xu was so excited that Xiao Yin almost destroyed the ship several times.

The three-masted ship was the fastest ship at the time, and legend has it that it could stay at sea for months and even sail around the globe.

Boats, perhaps at that time, such a ship was a dream of all seafarers.

Dream.

Without a map as a guide, the mind will find the direction.

I don't care how rough the road is, how many obstacles along the road,

I hoisted my sails and sailed the wind to the end.

This is a song written for Black Pearl in the movie.

"It's finally done." Xiao Yin cheered.

"Congratulations Xiaoyin, your dream has finally come true." Lu Xue smiled and congratulated.

"Dream, well, I also hope that one day I can be like the pirate in the movie, driving a ship through the endless ocean, without any rules, only singing, sunshine and waves." Xiao Yin's eyes flashed with little stars, and a child's dream is sometimes so direct.

Pirate, I chuckled.

"Brother Xiaoshan, let's go together when the time comes."

"I don't want to be a pirate." I said.

"And what are your dreams?" Xiao Yin asked curiously.

Dreams can sometimes be very innocent, and dreams are sometimes a kind of expectation to get out of the status quo. Dreams, do I have dreams?

I looked at Black Pearl and then at Xiao Yin, who was full of anticipation, and remembered the song written for Black Pearl in my mind again.

If you're afraid to back down, and you don't even start with it, it's okay if I'm still blocking it for you.

Even if the sea hides you in this bad joke, I am willing to accept it for you.

The sun suspended in the sky, the infinite blue ocean,

To her beautiful dazzling light.

In the dense fog barrier in the surging waves,

projection fuzzy shape,

In the deep silence, in this sad song.

It's still faintly reverberating.

Dream, I whispered to myself, and when I looked up, I saw Luxue dragging her cheeks, smiling at me, full of anticipation and trepidation, as if she was also waiting for me to answer.

My heart fluttered suddenly, Lu Xue, although I repeatedly wanted to block her, to shield her place in my heart, but I knew that even if she just sat quietly, sat there, sat beside me, it brought me endless peace.

Dreams, if I can have a dream, I hope to be with you forever.

"Dreams, I think, I have a dream." I heard myself say that.
