Chapter Twenty-Three: A Terrible Dream
Black! Cold! It's dark and cold as far as you can see!
It's quiet, it's silent! Nothing but the wind.
She stood on a very high place, a place as steep as a cliff, as deep as an abyss!
Even in her dreams, she could feel the fear and fear deep inside her. She wanted to leave, but her legs didn't obey her, and she couldn't take a step.
At this moment, a black shadow, like a ghost, gradually appeared in the darkness, slowly approaching her.
His whole body was black, and the darkness almost merged with the night. His face was also hidden in the darkness, and she couldn't see him at all, nor did she know if he was male or female. She only saw a pair of eyes, emitting a fierce and cold light like a beast, as if the next moment it was about to stretch out its claws and tear her apart!
"Don't come here! Don't come here! She shuddered and shouted at him. But to no avail, he was still closing in on her.
Involuntarily, she could only retreat.
One-step...... Two-step ...... After three steps, she finally had no way to retreat, and as soon as her feet slipped, her whole body fell from that high place like a dead leaf floating on a branch......
Su Wu woke up with an "ah", she sat up straight suddenly, gasping for air.
What a strange dream! The feeling of weightlessness and the breath of death in the dream are so real! The real thing is that even if she is awake now, she still can't stop her teeth from fighting, and her whole body is trembling!
With trembling hands, she quickly fumbled to turn on the small lamp at the head of the bed, and under the warm yellow and hazy light, she was already sweating profusely and her little face was as pale as snow.
Su Wu pulled the thin quilt up vigorously, and curled himself up in a ball with his hands on his shoulders. It seems that only in this way can she find a little sense of security, and can alleviate the strong impact and uneasiness brought to her by the dream just now.
It wasn't until a crisp bird's cry came from the window that she suddenly realized that it was already bright outside.
As if she had seen a savior, Su Wu lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, didn't even care about putting on shoes, rushed to the window at once, and opened the curtain with a "hula".
Bright light and fresh air poured in at once, dispelling the darkness of the room, and also dispelling the coldness and panic of the dream.
She closed her eyes and let out a long breath, finally feeling more at ease.
What's wrong with you? It's just a dream! Not really.
She was actually scared like this by a dream, and there was really no one! I remember that when she was a child, she dreamed of a long-haired female ghost in red! I didn't have such a big reaction when I woke up!
"Alas! It's really getting older and more unproductive! She sighed, smiled self-deprecatingly, and looked out the window.
The sun had risen, the light was dazzling, and there was a hint of heat in the air.
Summer seems to be really coming.
Not far away, a young man who was jogging in the morning had put on short-sleeved shorts and slowly ran towards this side with a steady step. The sun shone on his long and slender body, which made him even more neatly handsome and handsome.
This man ...... Why does this figure look so familiar?
When it was close, Su Wu was stunned on the spot!
It's actually Mu Zhengyao!
He wore a short-sleeved version of a loose tracksuit, revealing strong arms and powerful calves, which led to a subtle tug of muscles with each step he took up.
His expression was indifferent, his eyes did not squint, he kept looking ahead, and the silhouette of his side face was cold and sharp.
Su Wu didn't expect to see him as soon as he opened his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and a look of shame appeared on his little face.
At this moment, Mu Zhengyao had already run downstairs to her, and he suddenly looked up in the direction of her window, whether intentionally or not.
Su Wu was startled, quickly hid to the side, and used the corner of the curtain to block his figure, but his eyes secretly observed the movement downstairs in the gap between the curtains.
He stared at his window for a few seconds, his expression unchanged. He quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to run away.
It wasn't until Mu Zhengyao's figure completely disappeared around the corner of the building that Su Wu stood up, patted his chest, and muttered, "It's so dangerous!" He almost saw it! ”
After finishing speaking, Su Wu felt that something was wrong.
What the hell is she hiding? She didn't do anything bad!
He's not alone in this community! Could it be that only he, Mu Zhengyao, is allowed to run in the community, and she is not allowed to let off the wind on her balcony? !
Ahem...... Why does the word "let go of the wind" sound so awkward?
Ah! No matter what, that's what it means anyway, it's pretty much it. Even if it comes first, then comes, it is she Su Wu who lives here first, and Mu Zhengyao has to stand back!
Although the words were so beautiful, Su Wu was still reluctant to meet him in his heart. After all...... Hehe......
In the next few days, Su Wu would see Mu Zhengyao running downstairs every morning.
She gradually discovered a pattern, Mu Zhengyao jogged around the community three times a day, which took about 40 minutes.
Wait a minute! Three laps?! Su Wu felt a chill in her heart, which reminded her of a story she had heard when she was a child.
The content of the story goes like this:
A little boy cut a black snake in half, but soon the snake was able to catch his severed body.
When the little boy saw this, he cut again, and threw half of it out a long way. But who knew that it didn't take long for the half of the snake body to be found by itself, and the black snake turned into an intact snake again.
At last, the little boy knew that he was afraid, threw down the knife and ran away.
He ran, and the serpent chased after him. He kept running, and the snake kept chasing. Finally, he came home breathless and told his grandfather about it.
When the grandfather heard this, he hid the little boy in a large tank without water, closed the lid, and hid himself.
After a while, the snake also chased it to the house.
It tried many times, but couldn't climb up to the top of the slick tank. In desperation, I saw it crawl away after three circles around the water tank.
When the boy's grandfather saw the snake crawling away, he went over and called for his grandson. Who knows, when he lifts the lid on the water tank, where is the shadow of the little boy inside?
I saw that in the empty water tank, there was half a tank of bright red blood......
This is the end of the story, and Su Wu also shivered.
Fortunately, Mu Zhengyao ran three laps around the entire community, not around the building where she lived alone! Otherwise, it's really scary! It's scary!
She had always been afraid of snakes, not just snakes, but all striped creatures that were soft, cold, and greasy. Even, including bugs. Caterpillars, cabbage worms, cotton bollworms and other kinds of insects.
Fortunately, Mu Zhengyao is not a snake or a worm, and fortunately, she is not the little boy who offended the big black snake. Alas! But who let her see something she shouldn't see, let's avoid him in the future! Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to meet.
So, Su Wu waited for Mu Zhengyao to go home every day, and then she went to work. Hey! I really haven't met him head-on once!
Su Wu was overjoyed.
Of course, Su Wu also thought about paying him back, but every time she stood in the corridor and looked at the closed door opposite, her heart suddenly jumped, and she felt weak for a while, and even looked at the crimson door panel, which made her feel hot......
Anyway, for the time being, she really didn't have the courage to knock on his door again.
Simply, postpone it for a few more days, wait for this time to be "cooler", everyone has almost forgotten about each other, and it is not so embarrassing, just find a suitable opportunity to return it to him.
But Su Wu forgot that the wishes in life are always beautiful, but the reality is often cruel.
She didn't expect to meet Mu Zhengyao again so soon, and it was a meeting that she couldn't hide, especially embarrassing and pitted.
