Chapter 176: The Direction of the Dream Realm
That night, Star Swirl slept on the large bed in her bedroom, but deliberately kept a distance from Mr. X, as if she was angry.
"What's wrong?" Mr. X leaned closer, his forehead against his forehead, the tip of his nose touching the tip of his nose, his blue eyes reflecting her black pupils, and his voice asked softly in a somewhat hoarse voice.
Star Swirl resisted the urge to glare at him, turning a deaf ear to his words, closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep.
What's wrong? She didn't know how to answer this question, because he always kept a cold attitude of being a bystander? Or does he always stand on the commanding heights and criticize himself for handling things with too many subjective emotions that he can't get out of?
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
When she was faced with a choice more than a month ago, it was his assurance that gave her a momentary sense of security. She is bent on avenging her sister, but she discovers the mystery of her own background.
Star Swirl now fully understands that he is guided every step of the way, and although he keeps his secrets silent, he always leaves himself the opportunity to dig into the truth.
Of course, things have developed so far that he and Mr. Deer are happy to see, because awakening the body is what they ultimately want to achieve.
The whole thing had been a long one, and Star Swirl couldn't handle it until now.
However, she recently felt that Mr. X had become secretive in front of her again, and she was really annoyed this time. She doesn't want to be kept in the dark, she doesn't want to be passively chosen.
Star Swirl felt overwhelmed by these things, and it was getting late outside the window, and a wave of sleepiness set in.
"Star Swirl, Star Swirl" was an unfamiliar voice calling her name in a dream.
Star Swirl replied confusedly, "Who is it?" β
A chuckle came from the empty room: "Long time no see, can't it be that you have forgotten me?" β
Star Swirl snapped her eyes open, and she felt herself hanging in mid-air, everything around her in chaos, except for a figure she knew all the more recognizable.
βXοΌβ Star Swirl asked, rubbing her eyes, a little confused.
"You've regressed, you wouldn't have mistaken me for him before." The man smiled.
"Are you...... clothoοΌ A flash of light flashed through her mind, and Star Swirl blurted out.
Mr. X has said that clotho can conjure up countless faces, but why does he appear in the form of Mr. X several times?
The man smiled and said nothing, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"Why are you in my dreams?" Star Swirl asks.
"Didn't you call me?" The man laughed.
Star Swirl was a little surprised, and his heart beat suddenly, could it be that he appeared so quickly because he recognized the existence of Clotho in his heart?
"Seeing how preoccupied you look," said an unfamiliar expression on his familiar face, "it must not feel like being alone here?" β
"I ...... I'm not alone, either. Star Swirl tries to exonerate someone.
"Even if he is by your side at the moment, can you really feel peace deep down? Can he understand your worries and distress? β
Looking at his face exactly the same as Mr. X, but saying such heart-wrenching words, bitterness welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"Haven't you had enough of it for so long? Who are the bystanders? β
"I'm ......" Star Swirl argued, but the figure in front of her faded into obscurity, leaving only his wanton laughter echoing in his ears.
The glimmer of the morning light dispelled the last rays of darkness of the night, and Star Swirl opened her sleepy eyes.
X's handsome face was close at hand, but it gave her a momentary illusion, could this person be clotho, or had they ever exchanged identities with each other?
Star Swirl was horrified by the sudden thought, and the more she looked at the person in front of her, the more strange she became.
The man's body moved, and he took her into his arms, and his blue eyes slowly opened: "Awake? β
Star Swirl struggled out of his arms, shaking the fur off her body, only to jump out of bed with an "um".
She really didn't know how to face him at the moment, and Star Swirl chose to hide the dream of Clotho, maybe there was still some joy in her heart, but the rift between the two had deepened.
After a while, Mr. X got up to wash up, and saw that the little guy was speechless when he saw his expression of disdain.
"Are you angry with me?" Mr. X reaches out, habitually trying to touch the plush head, but Star Swirl dodges it.
"There's nothing to be angry about." His face was very calm, but his tone was a little cold.
The hand frozen in mid-air was clenched into a fist, and there seemed to be some helplessness in his blue eyes: "Is it because of what you asked me last time?" β
"I don't care, you don't need to tell me where you're going in the future, what you're going to deal with." Star Swirl felt a lot happier when she said this.
Mr. X wrinkled his eyebrows, but there was no displeasure on his face: "Don't be like this, okay?" β
Looking at his good-natured appearance, Star Swirl didn't know how to answer for a while, her heart was sour, and she wanted to get back together with him, but there was a trace of worry in her heart, which could not be dissipated.
There was a quick knock on the door outside, and Star Swirl was shocked, could it be that something had happened?
Star Swirl immediately recognized it as Wen Yao's mother. She rushed into the consultation room in a frenzy and asked, "Do you know where my son has gone?" β
"Who are you talking about?" Mr. X asked, even though he knew her identity.
"I, I'm Xu Wenyao's mother, he hasn't been home since yesterday, and the phone can't get through, I found this from his drawer, thinking that he might have been here......" The woman was holding Mr. X's business card in her hand.
Looking at the woman's godless appearance, Star Swirl guessed that something might have happened last night.
"He did come here a few days ago." Mr. X replied.
"Can you tell me what he told you?" The woman asked anxiously.
"The first time he came, he described you as a patient with psychological problems, anxious, irritable, and apathetic, which made him live in dire straits every day."
"What? Say me?! The woman's eyes widened in disbelief.
Mr. X replied, "However, I can see that the symptoms he described are all on me, and I just use you as an excuse." β
"And did he come last night?" The woman asked.
Mr. X shook his head and asked, "What happened yesterday?" β
"He was suddenly very emotional the night before, probably because I blamed him. Yesterday morning I wanted to go to school and talk to his teacher, so I left him at home. Unexpectedly, he went out of the house without saying a word, and he hasn't come back until now! β
Wen Yao's mother skipped the confiscation of her phone, and the whole thing sounded like she was making a big fuss.
"Did you look for the places he usually goes? It has been less than 24 hours since the disappearance and cannot be reported. Mr. X winks at Star Swirl, knowing that he is going to leave the house later, and slips into his backpack knowingly.
Star Swirl stored her dissatisfaction and read it when the time was right.
