Chapter 047: Is It Really a Dream?
It's been a full week since I came back from another plane, and this week, I took a leave of absence from school on the grounds that I was not feeling well. But I didn't go farther, I just walked around campus every day except at home.
A week ago, when I woke up, Yu Han emotionally told me what had happened after I was drunk.
According to her, I was drunk and unconscious when I came out of the KTV that night, and when I got home, I fell asleep on the sofa without changing my clothes. Later, Yu Han changed into my pajamas and carried me to the bed again. She didn't dare to leave for a while, so she quietly guarded me by the bedside for a long time.
She said, after I fell asleep, I kept muttering something in my mouth, as if I was talking to myself, and it seemed to be talking to others, in short, I couldn't hear clearly, but I still heard "Xiaoru", "Liu Jia" and her name in those whispers, in addition, the most repeated is Xu Zhekai's name.
Yu Han glanced at me and found that I was looking at her so quietly, waiting for her to continue, she sighed and continued:
"I think you may have attended Xiaoru's wedding, and you saw so many classmates, and... And in the end, I heard Ji Yang tell you something about Xu Zhekai at KTV, I think you should have touched the scene and dreamed. ”
I still didn't speak, I just stared at her blankly, thinking over and over again what she had just said, dreams? Was that a dream I had?
Yu Han continued: "I have to work overtime the next day, so seeing that you are asleep, I filled a large thermos cup of water and put it at the head of your bed, and took the spare key to your house and went back to my own house." I thought I would be able to open your door and come in if something happened to you. ”
I sat on the bed, looked at the thermos on the bedside table, reached for it, and picked it up, it was heavy, obviously I hadn't drunk the water in it.
"I didn't think that I would call you after I was busy the next day, and you actually turned off the phone, I was so scared that I couldn't do it, so I drove over to find you. Unexpectedly, when I entered the house, you were still asleep, you know, at first, I just opened the door and saw you lying on the bed, I really thought ......"
"Think I'm dead?" I say.
"yes, it freaks me out. You didn't answer when I called your name, so I dared to walk to your bedside and find you sleeping. During this period, I also turned over several times and kicked the quilt open, and I covered you with the quilt so that you would not wake up. You've slept all day by then. I picked up your phone and found that it was out of battery. I charged it and turned it on. But I don't dare to go, for fear that something will happen to you. I'll stay at your house until you wake up. You just went back to sleep, and I called you again at night, but you still didn't respond, I was scared, and I couldn't take you to the hospital, and I couldn't disturb Xiaoru, who was about to leave for her honeymoon, so I called a doctor friend of mine and asked him to come and see what was going on with you. ”
Yu Han got up and went to the living room to get two glasses of water, returned to my bedside and handed me a glass, and after taking two sips of himself, he continued: "After my friend came, I looked at you, and I didn't find any problems, saying that it might be that I drank too much wine, or I was too tired." I've seen some people in a similar situation, sleeping for up to four days, so let me not worry, just watch over you and wait for you to wake up. ”
"Then I... How long did you sleep? I asked Yu Han.
"You, you can really sleep, I almost called my uncle and aunt." Yu Han said.
"Huh? My mom and dad, you didn't tell them, did you? "I'm in a bit of a hurry.
"No, you're okay, you didn't really give me four days of sleep, otherwise I'd have really beaten up. Starting on Saturday night, all day on Sunday, all day on Monday, today is Tuesday! Do the math for yourself how long you've slept! Yu Han stared at me.
"Two days? I slept for two whole days? I asked in surprise.
"Isn't it?! It's more than two days, it's noon, it's almost twelve o'clock, to be exact, you've slept for two and a half days! Shen Yiyi, why didn't I find out that you can sleep so well! Yu Han said loudly.
"You've been here for the past two days?" I then asked.
"Of course! How dare I go, I took four days off with my unit to work from home, and I passed them on any materials they needed, but fortunately, when you woke up, my leaders were going crazy. This is not what I am most worried about, what I am more worried about is that if you say that if you don't wake up all the time, you will simply die and become a vegetative person or something, how can I tell my uncle and aunt, I am scared to death! Yu Han said a lot of things again.
"What about our school? Is no one looking for me? Tuesday... I still have classes on Mondays and Tuesdays! I thought of this question and asked her a quick question.
"I'm a big living person has asked for leave, and I have to help you ask for your 'dead man's leave, I have already told your unit, saying that you have something at home and are in a hurry to go back and deal with it, anyway, the leaders of your department are our original teachers, and they let their master's students help you take classes, all as exercise."
"But... Auntie called you last night, I didn't dare to answer, I didn't know how to answer, so I used your tone to send your mother a WeChat message, saying that you were about to get on the plane on a business trip, and I would talk about it tomorrow. You might as well call your aunt in a while to save her from worrying. ”
As he spoke, Yu Han handed over my mobile phone.
The moment I picked up the phone, I was actually a little unfamiliar, this is not the Nokia 5300 with the slide cover that I am already familiar with, this is my touchscreen smartphone. I was a little unaccustomed to swiping the screen, looking at the APP icons on the interface that were once very familiar, but now they are a little unfamiliar, and I searched for a long time to find WeChat. Clicking on my mother's profile picture, I sent a message: "Mom, I had a morning meeting, and now I am preparing to eat and return to Beijing in the afternoon." ”
I wanted to call, but I wasn't fully aware of my thoughts and I didn't know how to talk to her. However, my mother's phone still called.
The phone rang constantly, I looked at the word "goddess" on the screen, hesitated, took a deep breath, and picked it up.
"Yiyi, where are you?" Mom's voice came out, a little older than I remembered.
"Mom, I'm in Shanghai, I'm on temporary notice, I didn't have time to tell you, I'll go back in the afternoon."
"Okay, take care of yourself, do you want to go back to me when you get off the plane?" Mom asked.
"Let's go back on the weekend, I have to go to work tomorrow, and it's inconvenient to run back and forth."
Mom didn't say anything more, and we ended the call.
After putting down the phone, Yu Han said with a smile: "I didn't expect you and your mother to lie quite slippery." ”
I smiled bitterly, I didn't mean to lie, I was really confused, although Yu Han told me a lot, but I still didn't fully know where I was now and what state I was.
Slept for two and a half days? Talking in your sleep? Could it be that it wasn't a crossing, it was just a dream? It took me two and a half days to have a dream about ten years of traveling? Nearly a year did I spend in my dreams? That's!
I kept thinking, hypothesizing, and denying my own ideas in my head.
After all, if it's really a dream, it's all too real. I closed my eyes slightly, and the last image in my mind came to mind before I woke up:
On a rainy day, the gazebo in the school garden, Ji Yang who hugged Xu Zhekai, Xu Zhekai who broke away from Ji Yang's arm, and Xu Zhekai's shout after I turned around and left: Yiyi! Yiyi! According to the ......
My breathing was suddenly a little short, my heart was twisted together, I quickly opened my eyes, Yu Han was looking at me with a puzzled face, and before she could ask, I asked her:
"Are you sure I've been dreaming?"
"I don't know if it's a dream or not, anyway, you're lying back and forth, muttering in your mouth, you can't hear clearly, anyway, there are a lot of names of people in the past. Did you dream of Xu Zhekai? Yu Han asked.
"I don't know, I don't know anything." I shook my head, whispered, and sighed again.
"You haven't eaten for almost three days, aren't you hungry? You have been lying down for so long, you smell all over your body, hurry up and take a bath, I'll cook you a porridge, fry a green vegetable, you haven't eaten for so long, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it if you eat anything else. ”
I slowly got out of bed, and the moment I stood up, my head was a little dizzy, my legs were weak, and I finally felt hungry in my stomach. After a little relief, I walked to the bathroom.
Yu Han followed behind me and turned into the kitchen. The mouth was chattering: "After cooking porridge, I have to change the sheets and quilts for you, you said that everyone hibernates, you are good, come to a summer sleep, fortunately, you sleep for two days and wake up, if you sleep with some snake, toad, bear blind for so long, what can I do......"
I closed the bathroom door and shut out her voice. From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful to Yu Han for all this he has done for me. is worthy of taking care of Chen Shuo, who lost his father, and is really a good wife and mother. But in an instant, I realized that something was wrong, there was no such person as Chen Shuo in this space, and those were all things from another time and space, or rather, things from that long dream......
I tried not to think about the mess as much as I could, and after a long shower, I finally walked out of the bathroom.
Yu Han has changed into a set of clean sheets and quilts, the washing machine is working, and the sweeping robot is also swaying back and forth in the living room. The largest window in the living room was opened, fresh air poured into the room, and my mind cleared up a little. It's not my college dorm room, it's really my home in Beijing.
"Come and eat." Yu Han greeted.
I sat down on the dining table, looked at the millet porridge in front of me, fried shiitake mushrooms, sausage and broccoli in rape, and had an appetite and ate it seriously.
Yu Han also picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it. I suddenly remembered the memory of Chen Shuo in the bathroom just now. glanced at Yu Han and asked her tentatively: "Yu Han, do you know Chen Shuo?" ”
"Chen Shuo? Acquaintance! He's the doctor friend I said came to see you...... However, I don't think I mentioned this person to you before, and we haven't known each other for a long time...... How do you know him? Yu Han asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, I don't know it, but I seem to have heard this name somewhere, and I suddenly remembered it, so I'll ask you."
My answer was obviously not convincing, but Yu Han didn't think too much about it, thinking that I was still confused because I slept too much.
"Maybe I called him by name when he came, and you heard it in your dreams?"
"Maybe, I don't know, forget it, it doesn't matter." I passed it perfunctorily and continued to drink the porridge.
I'm really hungry, a bowl of porridge goes down, and my stomach is not so empty. It seems that my wandering vitality has also returned. I saw that there was still half a pot of porridge in the casserole on the table, so I filled myself another bowl and continued to drink.
Yu Han shook his head and said, "People have blind bears and some food for hibernation, you said that you dare to sleep if you don't prepare anything, and if you don't sleep, you have to starve to death." ”
Seeing that I had recovered that day, Yu Han went home with peace of mind.
After she left, I called the head of the department and asked for a week of sick leave. It takes me a week, if not longer, to figure out what's going on with me. Is it a dream? Not a dream? I had to figure it out.
