Chapter 2: Awakening
The scene in the dream began when the second lady was ten years old.
Chonghua remembered that although the eldest lady was only eleven years old at that time, she was famous in the capital. She is known as the first talented woman in Beijing. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, gentle and virtuous, and is the most standard stereotypical lady.
The second lady is a concubine, and her mother is a third aunt. Because her aunt died of childbirth when she gave birth to her, she was raised by her wife since she was a child. I can't say that it's bad, it's definitely not comparable to the eldest lady, but it's thousands of times better than other concubines who grew up next to my aunt...... In Chonghua's impression, Mrs. never showed a smile to the second lady. Always looks like an outsider, looking at the second miss indifferently. But Mrs. is kind, she has never beaten and scolded the second lady, and she has never lacked food and clothes for the second lady. From the outside, Mrs. is already an extremely gentle mother-in-law.
Chonghua smiled faintly, yes, at that time, there was no word for cold violence. However, it is also reasonable that no woman will love and care for the children born to her husband and other women from the bottom of her heart. The second lady grew up in such a cold environment.
Over time. The eldest lady grew up brightly and heartily. Wherever you go, you feel like you're surrounded by sunshine. Such a child is favored by God. And the second lady is like a shadow under the feet of the eldest lady, and it is always easy to be ignored.
Chonghua remembers that when he was a child, his neighbor's sister was like this. A beautiful billet, with a good figure, can play the piano and dance ballet. When I was a child, when the neighbors around me were counting their children, they couldn't help but say a few words, look at Cheng Min next door, how is it.
Isn't that also a kind of cold violence.
The sun was still a little heavy outside, and Chonghua was wearing a silk shirt and still felt hot. Frowning tightly, he walked briskly to the bus stop, and waited for the bus to come, and then was squeezed into the bus with the flow of people.
Sometimes Chonghua also considered buying a car. But when you drive a car, you don't know where you're going. It's always the moment the car starts, and I fall into a state of confusion. I don't know where to go, and I don't know where to go back.
The bus is a little better, and the driver has the final say on where to go. All you have to do is sit back and relax in the car.
Wobbly, crowded around. Chonghua struggled to pull a pull ring, trying not to be next to others.
"Did you read the news? It's miserable. β
"yes, who would have thought that electric car charging would cause a catastrophe."
"Who didn't say that you must be careful at home in the future."
"That's it."
β¦β¦
Chonghua squinted his eyes and became drowsy. I just got up at this time on weekdays, because I stayed up late for a long time and my blood pressure was low. I have to sit for a while to get up and really wake up.
After sitting for more than a dozen stops, I finally arrived at Lu Ningyuan's office. The moment he stood at the door and rang the doorbell, Chonghua was still looking forward to it as he was when he first came to see him, if Lu Ningyuan was the legendary Hannibal, how good would it be......
It was that room again, when he first found Lu Ningyuan, Chonghua deliberately chose a consultation room to the north. There is no sunlight, but there is a thick carpet. The fluffy sofa gives a sense of security. Chonghua relaxed himself and sank into the sofa.
"Coffee?" Lu Ningyuan's eyebrows under his rimless glasses are stretched and warm.
"Thank you." Chonghua lowered his eyelashes and took the cup.
Coffee is a refreshing drink. At the end of the month, when all the manuscripts came together, Chonghua would use the coffee machine at home to brew coffee all day long. Without sugar or creamer, as if you will never wake up if you drink it, you will resolutely drink one cup after another.
After the deadline, Chonghua will clean up the coffee machine in silence. Put it in the cupboard and wait for the next deadline.
Lu Ningyuan's coffee is a brewed three-in-one coffee, which is slightly sweet and greasy, but it does not affect the taste of Chonghua.
"Cake?" Lu Ningyuan smiled and held a piece of almond cake.
Chonghua nodded, took the cake, and ate it in small bites.
Lu Ningyuan looked at her with a smile and slowly sat back in his chair.
"What have you been dreaming about lately?"
Chonghua forked the cake's hand for a moment, and said lightly: "The eldest lady is going to get married." β
Lu Ningyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "15 years old? That's fast. β
Chonghua nodded: "There is a very bad feeling. β
Lu Ningyuan supported his cheek with one hand and coffee with the other, and looked at Chonghua with a smile: "In my dream, did the second lady and my sister fall in love with the same man?" β
Chonghua glanced up at him and shook his head: "Blind marriage and dumb marriage, I don't know who the eldest lady is going to marry." But that feeling is bad. β
Lu Ningyuan was silent for a moment, then got up with a smile and refilled Chonghua with a cup of coffee: "Let's hear it." β
Chonghua thanked him, lowered his head and thought for a while: "There is a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings." β
The feeling that was suppressed in my heart was very uncomfortable. It's like a dark cloud pressing down on the horizon, a muffled thunder from far and near. But that's what weighs on my heart. There will be a downpour, but it won't fall.
Lu Ningyuan nodded, opened the notepad, and wrote down the first paragraph.
"So, is this feeling your feeling, or the feeling of the second lady in your dream?" Lu Ningyuan asked.
Chonghua looked up at Lu Ningyuan in surprise: "Do you think the two of us are two people?" β
Lu Ningyuan paused and looked at Chonghua with a smile: "What do you think?" β
Under his gaze, Chonghua gradually lowered his head. His hands were weakly propped up on his forehead. Somewhat troubled, he said, "I'm about to lose the tell." β
Lu Ningyuan looked at her: "Do you expect to receive medication?" β
Chonghua still buried his head in the palm of his hand, and shook his head weakly: "I can't take medicine, I still need my brain." β
Lu Ningyuan nodded slightly and continued to record on the notepad.
"Chonghua, you are two different individuals. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as dreaming. Lu Ningyuan tried to guide her in another way: "You can think about it from a different angle. It's like acting, although you play this role, it's just the role you created, not you. Second Miss is just a dream created by you, not yourself. Right? β
Chonghua raised his head, confusion and helplessness flashed in his eyes, is that so? Is that really the case? When she faced her mother's cold gaze, how could she explain the chill down her spine? How can that visceral fear be explained?
Did she dream of Miss Two, or did Miss Two dream of her?
Lu Ningyuan turned on the TV in the consultation room with a smile, and the news was playing on the TV: "Chonghua, this is our world." There are high-rise buildings and dense traffic. That's the truth. β
"In the early hours of this morning, a huge fire broke out in the teacher's apartment, and we are currently at the scene of the rescue. It is known that a user of the third unit pulled the wires out of the residential building to charge the electric vehicle and caused the fire. At present, the number of casualties is 19, and many residents are still trapped in their homes waiting for rescue. β
Chonghua looked up suddenly, and was greeted by a raging fire on the LCD screen.
Someone is calling her.
"Second Miss, Second Miss is not good. Something happened to the eldest lady. β
Chonghua looked at the sky-high flames on the screen in a trance, and the sting in his head was broken. As soon as his body went limp, he collapsed on the sofa.
Lu Ningyuan, θ₯€uΓ nθ΅ηΉζ΄ (11) species, ιΌθterrier Οεγ·ι²β·
"Chonghua, Chonghua."
β¦β¦
"Second Miss, Second Miss, wake up. Something happened to the eldest lady. The finch's voice was swift and crying, shaking her desperately.
Chonghua opened his eyes with difficulty, but in front of him was a dream scene.
For the first time, the little tear-stained face of the finch came into view so clearly. Chonghua was taken aback and got up suddenly, but his hand hit the frame of the shelf bed. The pain in the heart hit Chonghua's heart at once.
It's not a dream!
