Chapter 5: The Soul Contract
After Yi Shengge confirmed the fact that the man in front of him had become a girl's family, he shook his head violently. As he shook his head, there were bits of starlight all around him, like a swarm of fireflies flying past him.
When Yi Shengge raised his head again and looked at the woman, his eyes had already returned to their original state.
This was a little unexpected for the woman. I didn't expect Yi Shengge to be in a dream, just by shaking her head, she easily got rid of her mind control.
But this is not surprising, after all, it was just starting from the moat, and it was not until Yi Shengge walked into the house and looked up to see the full moon that he fell into a dream for the first time.
"Girl, you still haven't told me your name."
"Oh? Is it? But even if I tell you my name, you can't change anything. Why bother with a name? ”
"But if you don't tell me your name, what shall I call you?"
"Well, it's not very important. Anyway, you just have to remember what you just said. ”
Yi Shengge was a little confused, and he didn't know why.
"What did you just say? I've just said so much, which one are you referring to? ”
"You only love yourself."
Why do you emphasize this? It's like I can't love others. ”
"You said this yourself, and you only love yourself in this life. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to show up so soon. ”
"Show up? Who are you? Could it be some ancient god or something? Or maybe it's some kind of monster? Glamorous Spirit? ”
A faint smile appeared on the woman's face, and Yi Shengge's guess was already a little close to the answer.
"Roughly, I guess that's how you can understand it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in your dreams. ”
"Then you immortal, what do you like about me, can't I change it?"
"Why do you hate me so much?"
"I don't really want to dream of you every night. I said there might be some mysterious power, but I wasn't glad about it at all. In my brain, with a person as clear as you talking to me, most people would be scared to death, okay? ”
Yi Shengge expressed his rejection of the woman very tactfully, and he didn't want anyone to control his thoughts.
"But now, it's not something you can control and decide, you just have to look ahead."
"It's very inexplicable what you say, it's obvious that you have entered other people's dreams without permission, and you are still like an overlord."
Yi Shengge's anger couldn't be hidden, and he refuted the woman's words with a vicious look.
The woman was not angry, but asked him a rhetorical question after he had finished speaking.
"Do you want to escape your current dream?"
"Of course, that's what I want to do the most this year."
Yi Shengge swallowed his saliva, and when he heard the woman's question, his eyes couldn't help but be much more well-behaved.
The woman looked at Yi Shengge's changeable expression and couldn't remember what the key points were, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, now I'll tell you how you can escape from your dreams. You need to follow me all the time. ”
As she spoke, the woman stepped back behind her, on a horizontal line, into the woods.
She didn't stride back or run, she sped backwards like a fairy floating in the air.
Yi Shengge hurriedly caught up with her and followed her forward.
"And then?"
"Then you need to grab my hand, and if you can hold me, you can get out of the dream. But you'll also forget what happened tonight, not only for your safety, but also to cover my tracks. ”
Although Yi Shengge didn't know what the woman was talking nonsense, she still quickened her pace when she heard the words.
Although the woman was only backwards, her speed was not slow, and Yi Shengge trotted up, trying to catch up with her.
Under the moonlight, the figures of two people galloped in pairs through the forest.
Until the distance got closer and closer, the light of the moon emanated behind the woman. She stretched out her right hand and slowly lifted it in the air, heading in the direction of Yi Shengge.
When Yi Shengge saw her stretch out her hand, he hurriedly stretched out his right hand himself, wanting to catch her in the air.
Until the woman's speed was a little slower than just now, Yi Shengge hurriedly jumped up, and in the air, the index fingers of the two touched.
"Will you make a soul pact with me? Even if you give up everything in the end and turn your back on the world, will you have no regrets? ”
"As long as I can wake up from this dream, I'm willing to do anything."
The fingertips of the two people gently touched each other, and after Yi Shengge said the word willing, his eyes were suddenly full of moonlight.
Although this light was only for a moment, Yi Shengge couldn't open his eyes, and even was as dazzling as the sun. Its intensity, really like the feeling of the sun shining on the face, makes it impossible to look at it directly.
The woman gradually faded into the light, and before that, the expression on her face became a little longing and anticipation, muttering.
"The Yiren want to travel far away, and Yu Shengwu sings tears. Although I don't know if what you want to say after you calm down will be very different from what I just heard. But I'm still looking forward to you, Yi Shengge. In this life, it will also create and deceive people. ”
The light was so dazzling that it didn't seem to come in from a dream, but through a window from outside the room.
Yi Shengge closed his eyes tightly and withdrew his right hand, both hands covering his face. He didn't have time to think about the direction of the light, and his whole body was suspended in the air, and he was about to fall.
Feeling bad, Yi Shengge hurriedly sat up, and the light was fleeting and did not stop.
"Brother Ge, are you okay?"
The familiar voice pulled Yi Shengge's thoughts back, and at this time, for some reason, it made him want to cry.
The feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made Yi Shengge's heart beat and fluctuate. Yi Shengge didn't remove his hands that covered his eyes, he was too afraid that the "Brother Ge" just now was just an echo of a dream, not real, he was afraid of entering the dream again.
It wasn't until the warmth of his palm came from his shoulders that Yi Shengge slowly moved his hands and opened his eyes.
"Brother Ge, why don't you speak? Is there something wrong with your body? ”
On the table next to him, there was a flickering candlelight, and the first thing Yi Shengge saw after opening his eyes was Yi Shenghe's anxious eyes. Yi Shenghe squatted on the edge of his bed, looking at Yi Shengge obediently like a puppy, waiting for Yi Shengge to give him an answer.
And when Yi Shengge stretched out his right hand again, Yi Sheng grasped him. This real sense of touch is completely different from the feeling of touching the woman's fingertips just now, and he can feel the temperature of Yi Shenghe.
"Brother Ge, what happened, why do I see that your expression is not good?"
Yi Shengge's uneasiness finally eased. Looking at Yi Shenghe's nervous expression, he sighed.
"I'm fine, it's just a nightmare, I woke up all of a sudden, just rest for a while."
Yi Shenghe's hand, which was still on Yi Shengge's shoulder, was also retracted at this time. He gently pressed it on Yi Shengge's forehead, which was not very hot, not like a fever, maybe it was really just a nightmare.
"Xiaohe, why are you in my room?"
"Are you too embarrassed to ask? I saw that you weren't in a good state when you came back tonight, and you weren't normal, so I didn't pay much attention to you. And thou hast not eaten supper and slept, and I have left thee a light lest thou shalt wake up in darkness. ”
"Did I skip dinner? Oh, I guess I was so tired, I slept so hard that I forgot. ”
Yi Shenghe looked at Yi Shengge's still somewhat frightened appearance, and couldn't help but wonder, this didn't look like a nightmare.
"Brother Ge, can you still remember the nightmare you had just now, did you dream of something?"
This question stopped Yi Shengge. His mind is empty now, and he really can't remember what happened in the dream just now.
"Well, I don't quite remember."
"Do you not remember well, or do you not remember at all?"
"I don't remember anything, I just feel like it's a nightmare."
Yi Shengge looked a little sorry, so that Yi Shenghe couldn't bear to ask.
"It's okay, it's a nightmare, there's no need to remember it."
Yi Shengge didn't want to continue the topic, just as the air was filled with the smell of some Chinese herbs, and sniffed.
"Xiaohe, are you boiling up something on this big night?"
"Well, I boiled you a bowl of soothing soup for later, I'm afraid that you will wake up halfway through your sleep. lest you have nightmares again. ”
"It's really prescient for me to be a good brother."
Yi Shengge directly praised Yi Shenghe's approach, Yi Shenghe's soothing soup can fall asleep immediately as soon as you drink it.
"Don't play tricks here, I don't want you to shout and scream in the middle of the night, and then wake me up, and it will be difficult for me to fall asleep."
"Did I just shout and scream?"
"Nope."
"I'm not yelling and screaming, why are you in my room? How do you know I've woken up suddenly? ”
"Look at your quilt."
Yi Shengge listened to Yi Shenghe's slightly disgusted words, lowered his head to look at his quilt, only to find that it should have been covered on his body, but now all of them have been kicked aside.
Before Yi Shengge could speak, Yi Shenghe continued to complain.
"How can there be a person like you, stretching out your legs to kick the quilt at night, shaking your legs and shaking the bed? Do you think it's possible if I don't wake up? If you don't know, you think someone is fighting in your room. ”
Yi Shengge looked at Yi Shenghe with some embarrassment, and he couldn't explain what was going on.
"Without further ado, I'll bring you the medicine, and you drink it and go to bed. Don't mess around yourself and toss others. ”
"Okay."
