Memories of Ji Shen】

Alice's nightmare continues.

"Don't, don't- woo.... Ahh

She would wake up from the bed every night, tears already flowing from her eyes, which was a sign that she had another nightmare.

A dream of its own mystery.

This dream is not about Alice herself.

Alice will experience death as a child in her dreams, and then wake up frightened at the moment of death.

"Alice, don't be afraid, there's a brother here."

And when she was scared and cried, I slept next to her, and I was awakened by her crying and would get up and hold her hand.

Her jade white hands were a little cold, and I tried my best to infect her with the warmth of my palm.

"Brother God..... I'm so scared...... It's not just a child's dream this time......."

Alice leaned into my arms and sobbed.

"Huh?"

I was slightly stunned in confusion, and at the same time I put my hand behind her, through her silky blonde hair, and hugged her in the bed.

"Alice... Alice's dream just now.... I've experienced the scene of a woman being run over by a big truck..."

She said this to me in a trembling voice with a crying voice, and her petite body trembled, looking weak and in need of my care.

"Alice, don't be afraid, don't be afraid....."

Without thinking about why the death of a child in my dream suddenly turned into a woman's death, I chose to comfort her.

touched the hair next to her ear with one hand, patted her on the back, and comforted her in a gentle tone.

I remember that my mother used to comfort me in this way, so I was very impressed, and I also remembered this way of holding others in my arms and comforting them.

I hope I can make Alice's heart scared and unsettled.

"Brother God.... Is there something wrong with my brain? ”

Alice asked in my arms as she lifted her teary eyes.

I was stunned.

Her words reminded me of a dialogue from the fairy tale Alice in Wonderland.

Alice in that fairy tale kept repeating a dream from childhood to adulthood, and each time she would go to the same fairy tale kingdom, and each time she would be frightened and wake up from the dream, and one night, she cried and asked her father: Dad, is there something wrong with my brain? ”

And her father's answer has always been touching and unforgettable to me, remembering what he said, and I now say this to Alice Charlotte—

"Alice, there's something wrong with your brain—but geniuses do."

I said softly, since Alice no longer has a father, I will copy the lines of that fairy tale and say it to her.

My fiancée, Alice Charlotte, listened to my words, and was at first slightly stunned, and then burst into tears.

"Hahahaha..... Brother God.... Isn't Alice a genius....."

She smiled in my arms, and I had seen her smile so happily, and the tears that had been shed out of fear turned into tears of laughter.

"Hahahaha......"

I also watched her smile like this, and in our laughter, the original depression and fear gradually dissipated.

...........

Alice and I had quite a good month though.

During this period, she and I gradually went from not knowing each other at the beginning, and she was in a relationship that she ignored me, to my current friends, and even a deeper relationship.

During this time, she and I didn't miss a single sunrise or sunset from the cherry blossom tree slopes, and we ran the entire forest and mountains around the ranch to find the borderline.

During this period, with me every night, although Alice's dreams became more and more strange, and the range of dead people who appeared in her dreams became more and more widespread, but she gradually became less afraid because I was by my side, and whenever she woke up, I told her jokes, and she would laugh sweetly and fall asleep when she thought of funny jokes.

These memories are really good, very good......

However, there is no such thing as an unbroken feast in the world, and it is finally time to separate.

My summer vacation is coming to an end, and I have to go back, and there is still my old life waiting for me to catch up.

Tomorrow, a helicopter sent by my father will descend on this somewhat secluded pasture, take us to the airport, and then take the plane of Dark Moon back to the mainland of China.

The father said that Alice had to stay in this place for a while, and now that the wind was raging outside, it was safest for her.

So in order to prevent Alice from wanting to go with me and go to China together, we will leave first tomorrow morning, while Alice is still asleep.

Tonight is the last time for Alice and me.

Late at night, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the sky is full of stars.

Alice and I sat with our knees crossed and sat there under the cherry blossom trees that had been sitting for a month.

The fragrance of flowers filled the surroundings, and the pink petals condensed the starlight, and little by little floated down from the air.

I didn't know how to say anything, because I was leaving tomorrow, and I wanted to say something to Alice, but I didn't know how.

"Alice ....."

I hesitated and nervously spoke.

- "Now, my brother is leaving tomorrow." ”

Just as I hesitated to say something, Alice interrupted me.

She said the last thing I wanted her to know.

"Uh-uh.... How do you know...."

I looked at Alice with some surprise, I didn't expect that she, a six or seven-year-old girl, would be super powerful and think that I was leaving tomorrow.

"Intuition, Alice's strongest thing is intuition Oh, hmph, Alice hates her brother, and she doesn't tell me if she wants to sneak away irresponsibly."

Alice said this to me with a small pout, and her little face was flushed with anger.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..... No way, I was wrong, I'll be back next summer, well, I'll be back next summer! ”

I folded my palms and said to Alice.

"No need, it's very troublesome for Brother God to fly over."

Alice stood up, her hands behind her back, leaning slightly and blushing at me.

"That's ......."

I hesitated and sat there and looked up at her.

"Promise me one thing."

Alice said this to me, her little face full of seriousness.

"Huh?"

I was slightly stunned, I didn't know what could make Alice so serious.

"Brother God must be safe, the next time we meet again, Brother God will still be Brother God, Alice will still be Alice, the brave will still be brave, and the demon king will still be the demon king."

Alice said this to me, turning her back to me with a red face.

"Uh.... Good. ”

That's the convention?

"And-"

And as if Alice hadn't finished speaking, my attention was drawn back to her words.

- "No matter what the future holds for Alice, it doesn't matter if she is deprived of her emotions, she becomes numb, or she becomes bad!" Please Brother God don't care about Alice in the past, always remember the current Alice who can cry and laugh, and please like the Alice in the future!! ”

She looked back, tears in her eyes, but said this to me with a smile.

At that moment, the smile with tears in the corners of her eyes was really beautiful, behind her was the whole sky, the wind was blowing the entire ranch slope, the cherry blossom petals were flying, her long white dress was flying, and her blonde hair was flying-

I froze, and the wind blew my bangs.

"Brother God, let's make a contract—"

Alice said this, bending down and holding out her little finger.

"Pact—"

I muttered as well, raising my hand and holding out my little finger.

At that moment, the little fingers of the two of us buckled and bent slightly, and the agreement between this demon king and the brave man was concluded.

The agreement is actually very simple, and the real agreement has nothing to do with the boundary line at all.

There is only one real agreement, and that is the agreement that runs through the past, present, and future -

One: Brother God doesn't care about Alice in the past.

Two: Brother God, remember the present Alice.

: Brother God, please go and like the future Alice.
