Chen Shi had a dream.

He dreamed that he was working, a simple and mundane job.

He dreamed that he had an ordinary-looking wife and a mischievous daughter.

He dreamed that he had a blue cat called "Big Fish" and a tank of goldfish.

I go to and from work every day, and although the days are ordinary, I am very satisfied.

A simple three-dish and one-soup is a daily staple food.

I occasionally take my children and my wife on a trip, and when I come back, I always sigh that I spent too much money, but when I see the smiles of my children and my wife, I feel that it is worth it, and I have to work hard to put my energy into work.

On Saturday, make a cup of tea, lie on a rocking chair on the balcony, pick up a book, and read it leisurely for an afternoon.

Days like this are too ordinary.

It's not much fun.

Chen Shi was very satisfied.

He loved days like this, except for one thing, he knew he was dreaming.

It's incredible, everything is very real, but he knows in his heart that he is in a dream, and this contradictory emotion has always been with him.

"I ...... in my dreams"

He thought so.

can't wake up, watch the child grow up, watch the child grow up, watch the child have a boyfriend, and watch the child go to the wedding hall.

He smiled and took the tea handed over by his son-in-law, and was stunned for a moment.

"Dad?"

The daughter reminded him, Chen Shi reacted, nodded, said hello to his son-in-law, took a sip of tea, and handed the red envelope to his daughter and son-in-law.

Time flies.

Looking back again, I have my grandchildren and grandchildren.

Or a dragon and phoenix fetus.

With his babbling grandson and granddaughter, Chen Shi strolled through the garden of the community, and in a trance, his daughter and son-in-law divorced in a quarrel.

The grandson and granddaughter are already in elementary school and can run happily and shout at their grandfather, but Chen Shi can't catch up.

Whether it's sunny or rainy, the sun rises every day, and even though his daughter has found a new man and started a new family, his former son-in-law still comes to see him from time to time.

His body is quite strong, and his wife is also healthy, but he gradually likes to sit on the bench alone, quietly watching the sunset on the horizon.

The grandson quietly asked his grandmother, what happened to his grandfather?

Grandma shook her head and told her grandchildren not to disturb grandpa.

Time can make everything forgotten, and the old son-in-law, who has a family of his own, will not come to see him as before.

The grandchildren and granddaughters have also grown up and have their own small families.

His wife is in good health, but unfortunately his body seems to be in trouble, and his memory is starting to fail.

He seemed to have forgotten something, and when he recalled it carefully, he couldn't remember anything.

Occasionally, when he was awake, he heard his grandson talking quietly, his grandfather was demented, don't get lost again.

Is it? Am I old?

Chen Shi was stunned for a long time, and did not stop there.

He was dazed, still feeling that he had forgotten something, until when he came back to his senses, he found himself lying on a hospital bed, his wife tearfully holding his palm.

Looking at his wife's aged face, Chen Shi smiled slightly: "You are also old." ”

"What nonsense, old man."

The wife wiped her tears, "Don't worry, it'll be fine soon." ”

"I seem to ...... Forgot something. ”

"Of course you have forgotten a lot, you don't even know your own daughter and grandchildren...... Fortunately, those who have no conscience still remember me. ”

"yes, I've forgotten so much."

Chen Shi muttered dumbfoundedly.

His brain was very dizzy, and after saying a few words, he didn't even have time to talk to his daughter and family who came later, and fell asleep again.

The memory was intermittent, and he forgot something important.

When he woke up again, he was still lying on the hospital bed, the window glass outside reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, and many family members gathered in the hospital room.

He opened his laborious eyes and scanned the ward, and found that some knew and some did not...... I don't know, probably the rest of the relatives.

"Dad, you're awake."

The daughter burst into tears.

"Grandpa......"

The grandchildren all shouted nervously to him.

"Old man."

The wife was in a wheelchair and struggled to hold his palm, despite the lack of strength.

"Hoo ......"

Chen Chang sighed, and at the last moment of his life, he finally remembered.

"Earth ......"

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Neither his daughter nor the others could hear his whispered voice.

"It's time for me to wake up......"

"What woke up?"

Everyone finally heard it clearly, and looked at each other, but no one could understand what it meant.

Chen Shi's eyes finally fell on his wife's face, smiled, and held his wife's palm: "Thank you......"

It's incredible, it's all fake, but it's as if decades have really passed.

He slowly closed his eyes, and for the last moment, he could still hear the cries of his daughter and grandchildren.

How long is a person's life?

At the last moment of life, I realized that a person's life is the moment from opening his eyes to closing his eyes, just like a dream.

…………

"Huhuhu......"

Panting heavily, Chen Shi's eyes opened suddenly, and the moment he died, his memory recovered, but at this time, everything he experienced in the dream was gradually disappearing.

Breathing heavily, as if there was not enough oxygen in the air, it took a while for him to slow down the rhythm of his breathing, feel the coldness of his body, and crawl out of the mechanical structure that looked like a cabinet.

As soon as he crawled out, Chen Shi was dizzy and vomited.

It's a pity that there is no stock in the stomach at all, and all that is spit out is some pantothenic acid liquid.

"Where am I?"

Spit a few times, obviously much more comfortable, Chen Shiwan sat on the wall behind, as far as his eyes could see, it turned out to be a very bright room, opposite his line of sight, a small height of the waist line was designed in the middle of the wall, with a certain arc, the blue and white light is emitted from the hidden position of the waist line, the whole decoration has an asymmetrical and non-linear design style, full of future mechanical metal layout atmosphere.

He stood up on his feet, and the extreme weakness of his body made him not have much strength, and he barely stood up, and walked a few steps forward with a slow pace.

"By the way, where's my gamma suit?"

He raised his hands, and looked down at the gamma suit that he didn't have anywhere.

Where is the last memory?

Maybe it's been too long in the dream, and many of the memories that were real in the past have faded a little, as if a long time has passed.

Thankfully, the symptoms are gone.

The memories in the dream have precipitated, and the real memories are rapidly revived.

"I was ...... Completely burned......"

But the skin of his raised arm showed no signs of burns.
