Chapter 25: Breaking Dreams

Seeing the proprietress disappear in a dream, I only prayed that I was really connected to her in my dream. But at this time, I couldn't gamble on luck, and when I came out of the hostess's room, I began to check room by room, but I looked at all the rooms on the first floor, and they were all empty. At this time, I thought of the phrase "I think about it every day, and I dream at night", and it is impossible for me to see people in my dreams that I have not seen in my daily life.

I tried to think about the people I knew, and ran to the second floor at the same time.

Friends, classmates, buddies... Suddenly, I thought of my parents, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. A year or two, there is no impression anymore. Since the decline of my family, I have rarely been home. Because my family was blocked all day to collect debts, my parents were worried about my safety, so they didn't let me go back, and they also asked me to contact them less, for fear that those creditors would find me.

Just as he was thinking about it, he had come to the second floor and pushed open the door of a room. Sure enough, I saw my parents. Dad sat at the table drinking tea and reading a book, and Mom sat on the edge of the bed sewing a piece of clothing that I don't know what it was.

"Xiaoyu, why did you come back so late today?" Before I could speak, my mother had already seen me and said to me with a smile on her face.

I looked down at myself and suddenly realized that I was wearing a middle school student's uniform. I suddenly realized that the parents I saw were very young, that is, in their thirties. I know it's a projection of what I'm thinking deep down. Since the bankruptcy of the family's business, seeing the anxious appearance of my parents day and night, and the gray hair that is slowly growing on their heads, which is not the right age for them, my heart is extremely eager to go back to the past, my parents should not be in business, do not become rich, just be ordinary, just have enough food and clothing. But time cannot be turned back, and all the delusions in the heart are superfluous.

Seeing my mother's young appearance at this time, I could no longer hold back the excitement in my heart, my eyes were hot, and tears poured out like a spring. I rushed over and hugged my mother in two steps, tears like beads of broken thread, and I choked up and couldn't speak.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?" My mother patted me on the back and asked softly.

I don't know if I'll ever wake up from my dream, I don't know if I'll be devoured by a dream ogre. The thought of asking them for help flashed through me, and I didn't say it in the end. They've been working for me for most of my life, and I don't want them to worry about me at this time.

I wiped two handfuls of tears, got up and retreated to the door, and "poof" knelt down, "bang bang bang" like pounding garlic and knocked my head. If you can't get out of your dreams, this can be regarded as a reward for their fertility. Seeing me like this, my father and mother were stunned for a while, and I didn't wait for them to react, so I got up and went out to leave.

Then I went straight up the stairs to the top floor.

I opened the rooms on the top floor one by one, and each one contained friends and relatives I knew. At this time, I realized that those people I had not thought of for a long time had never let go of in my heart. But looking at those familiar and unfamiliar faces, I didn't even have the slightest idea of asking them for help, and I knew that many of them probably didn't remember me anymore, or didn't want to remember me.

If life is the end, it will be a farewell to be able to see them peacefully before dying. I opened the window of the corridor on the top floor, and I jumped down without hesitation, and the weightlessness of the rapid fall came, and the fear of death made my nerves tense quickly, and I suddenly woke up from my dream.

When I woke up, I was still in the car, and Xiao An was still wiping the blood from my head with paper. It turned out that I was using too much force in my dream just now and broke my head. Xiao An saw me wake up, the expression on his face was still a little stunned, in such a dark environment, I could clearly see Xiao An's expression, maybe this is the difference between dreams and reality.

"Didn't you fall asleep?" Xiao An asked suspiciously.

"What?" I asked.

"Didn't you say dreaming? It's only been a few minutes, and I thought you had succeeded when I saw that you didn't move, but now it seems that you didn't fall asleep after you broke your head. Xiao An explained.

"A few minutes? You mean I only slept for a few minutes? I asked Xiao An.

"yes, look at the head you just shot, the bleeding hasn't stopped." Xiao An said resentfully.

Hearing Xiao An say this, my brain was also thinking quickly. I felt like I was delayed back and forth in my dream for an hour or two, but when I woke up, it was only a few minutes, which means that the time in the dream is much faster than the time in the current world. In fact, if you think about it, dreams are just what we think in our hearts, in other words, the activity of brain waves, and everything in the dream does not really happen. Naturally, the electrical signal is much faster than what we actually do.

By analogy, the world of dream ogres we are currently in is not necessarily synchronized with the time of the real world. The time we spend a day here may be just an hour or two in reality. Nowadays, looking at the speed at which the Dream Ogre devours dreams, it is only an hour at most, and then in the real world, it is only a few minutes. If no one wakes us up in the real world for a few minutes, then our lives may be coming to an end.

I know there's little hope that we'll wake up. I took Xiao An's hand and asked, "Do you regret it?" ”

Xiao An shook his head vigorously, "No regrets." But I regret that you didn't put me in a wedding dress, and I haven't thought of it as your new brew. As she spoke, she choked up.

"But I also know that even if we live, you won't be able to marry me. There is also Xiaoqian, even if there is no Xiaoqian, there is also Teacher Huo. The more she spoke, the more sad she became, and at last she could barely speak. I know that this is the final release of the pent-up emotions in a woman's heart. I looked at her silently, and I didn't convince her.

When she cried a little softer, she continued: "Even if we really die here this time, it's a good thing, at least there is no one else here, only us." ”

I looked at her pear blossom and rainy face, "I'm just an ordinary person, how can a girl like you fall in love with me?" I don't even know where I have a woman's relationship. ”

Xiao An heard me say this, tried to stop crying, and said, "You are good, I am..."

"Jingle bell" A familiar phone rang, and I felt that my soul instantly returned to reality from the void, and the real feeling of my body made me feel a lot more at ease.

I finally returned to the real world and looked at the number on my phone screen, it was my mother calling.

"Hey, I dreamed that you were in danger just now, and it took me many times to get through, Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
