Yu Tianzheng's assurance did not put Du Xiaomeng at ease. Seeing that she was in a trance, Yu Tianzheng changed the topic and looked at her with a smile: "I only know now that Xiaomeng has the habit of talking in her dreams. ”

Du Xiaomeng didn't react at once, and looked up at Yu Tianzheng with a confused expression on his face and asked, "What?" ”

"Every time you fall asleep, you're calling the same person's name." Yu Tianzheng stated what happened in a flat tone, and at the same time glanced at Du Xiaomeng as if he was careless, paused for a while, and then continued in a joking tone: "What can make you remember in your sleep can't be your sweetheart, right?" ”

Du Xiaomeng's face couldn't help but change, and she asked urgently in a little panic: "Whose name did I call?" ”

"Zhu Gong." Yu Tianzheng didn't sell Guan Zi to arouse people's appetite, and simply retold what he heard.

"Zhu Gong?" This was not the name that Du Xiaomeng thought of in her heart, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, but this name also made her very confused, she frowned and thought for a while, completely unable to remember when she knew someone with such a name.

She looked at Yu Tianzheng in confusion and asked, "Are you sure I'm calling this name?" Did you hear it wrong? ”

Yu Tianzheng nodded and said, "Definitely." You've called this name several times before, and you just called the same name just before you woke up, and I'm sure I heard it right. ”

Hearing Yu Tianzheng's words, Du Xiaomeng remembered some fragments that appeared in the dream, in which she saw her grandfather who had passed away for a long time, and the carefree happy times of the past reappeared again, and everything in the dream was so beautiful that she didn't want to wake up and face reality.

Recalling the dream he had, combined with the name Yu Tianzheng said, Du Xiaomeng could probably guess what he had shouted in his sleep. She asked Yu Tianzheng for confirmation and asked, "Did you hear me shouting 'grandfather'?" ”

The word "grandfather", Du Xiaomeng deliberately said it in his grandfather's hometown dialect, and when Yu Tianzheng heard it, it was the name that Du Xiaomeng shouted from time to time in his sleep before. He immediately nodded and said, "That's right, that's the name." ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but smile and said, "You are mistaken, I am not shouting 'Zhu Gong' but 'Zu Gong'." ”

In Yu Tianzheng's ears, there is no difference between "Zhu Gong" and Du Xiaomeng's "grandfather" in his hometown dialect.

Seeing Yu Tianzheng's puzzled gaze, Du Xiaomeng explained: "You call my mother's father my grandfather here, but in my hometown, I call 'grandfather', and what you hear is that I call my grandfather in my hometown." ”

This explanation made the expression on Yu Tianzheng's face stiffen. He thought that when Du Xiaomeng just woke up, he pulled his hand and shouted "grandfather" at him, it was obvious that Du Xiaomeng at that time regarded him as his grandfather when he was not so sober. Frustration surged up instantly, even if he was close to his age and ten years older than Du Xiaomeng, but he was now in his prime, and he still looked very different from grandfather-level people, right? Even if he didn't wake up, there was no reason to think of him as an old man, was he that old?

Although he was frustrated, the strange expression only flashed on Yu Tianzheng's face. He smiled casually and asked, "Xiaomeng and Grandpa must have a good relationship, right?" ”

Du Xiaomeng sighed lightly and lowered his head and said, "Yes, he is the best person to treat me, and no one has ever loved me like him." If my grandfather hadn't died so early, I probably wouldn't be where I am now. ”

Usually people become fragile and fragile when they are sick, and Du Xiaomeng is in such a state at this time. Speaking of her grandfather, she couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and thought that if her grandfather, who loved her very much, was still alive, her grandfather would not allow his daughter to throw away his beloved granddaughter like garbage, let alone let her suffer in that hellish mansion; If she had grown up with her grandfather, she would have known different people and walked different paths, and would have lived with her grandfather in that small town and lived a stable and ordinary life, although she was not very rich and noble, so that she would not have come to this place where she didn't know where it was, and become another person who was involved in all kinds of incidents.

For a while, she had a lot of thoughts and many feelings, and she couldn't help but sigh again, and her expression was even more gloomy.

Yu Tianzheng didn't know what Du Xiaomeng felt in his heart, but Du Xiaomeng, who looked gloomy, made him feel pain in his eyes. Feeling pity, he reached out to caress the face with loss, and said softly: "Let the past pass, don't be sad." Your grandfather is gone, so I will treat you well and love you for him from now on. ”

Du Xiaomeng raised his head and saw Yu Tianzheng's serious expression, as well as the shining fatherly aura above his head. At that moment, she inexplicably overlapped the image in front of her with the image of her grandfather in her memory, and the father-love complex hidden in her heart was suddenly triggered. She stared at Yu Tianzheng blankly, feeling as if there was a warm current flowing through her heart, and the emotion surrounded her heart along the warm current.

The moment of emotion made her temporarily forget her resistance to Yu Tianzheng, let his hand caress her face, and even gave birth to the strange idea of "maybe he can be the lover she wants in this life" and "maybe he can stay with the person in front of her for life".
