Chapter 17: Who is Xiao Qi
Liang Yun sat in the car, holding her mobile phone and chatting with Chen Dao occasionally, looking at the scenery outside the car window in a daze most of the time.
Although she has been with Chen Dao for more than a month, the two are also very harmonious and sweet together, sometimes they are intimate couples, sometimes they are like old friends who have known each other for many years, or relatives who can tolerate no matter what they become, but whenever she carefully recalls the acquaintance and acquaintance of the two, the process of getting along with the two, and the person Chen Dao, she will have a dreamy sense of unreality.
Chen Dao is like the perfect partner customized by God for her, in terms of spiritual communication, she can meet almost all her needs, and talking to him and getting along with him is a very comfortable and even refreshing feeling.
Chen Dao can always understand the various meanings she expresses in seconds, whether it is the opinion of various things, or his own plans and ideas, he can understand.
Sometimes Liang Yun will wonder if Chen Dao has mind reading skills or something.
On the other hand, Chen Dao can always accurately control her emotions, and at any time, he can poke her laughter in a short time and make her laugh.
They have played the game of "make me laugh in XX seconds" countless times, Liang Yun has never won once, and Chen Dao sometimes doesn't even need to say a word, just a look or a movement can make her laugh.
When she encounters something boring or unhappy, Chen Dao can always comfort her in the most appropriate way and let her relieve her knots.
If she were to set up a soulmate by herself, she would definitely not be able to do it like Chen Dao.
Obviously, Chen Dao's understanding of her is far stronger than her understanding of Chen Dao.
In her eyes, although the two have lived together and had the most intimate relationship, they have almost nothing to talk about, and she knows all of Chen Dao's mobile phone passwords and payment passwords, and they are almost completely defenseless against each other, but Chen Dao's heart still seems to be covered with a veil and a little mysterious.
Most of the time, Chen Dao gives people the feeling that he is in control of everything, has a strong opinion, and makes people feel very secure.
But Liang Yun knows very well that Chen Dao also has a vulnerable side, especially at night, when holding her, he seems to be afraid of something.
But what are you afraid of?
He is obviously a person who can face the knife-wielding murderer without changing his face.
But no matter what, there is one thing that Liang Yun can be extremely sure of, that is, Chen Dao's feelings for her, that kind of strong attachment and trust, she and Chen Dao can feel every minute and every second together.
When he came out of the station, it was already early ten o'clock in the evening, and Liang Yun did not tell Chen Dao that she would come back tonight, because Chen Dao's part-time job may not be available until after 9 o'clock, and it is very likely that he will not leave until after 10 o'clock.
So she was ready to go back by herself and surprise Chen Dao.
When he got home by taxi, it was already close to 11 o'clock, Liang Yun opened the door lightly, saw the white sneakers neatly placed in the shoe cabinet in the entrance, and knew that Chen Dao had returned, so he couldn't help but smile and slowly touched the living room.
There was no one in the living room, it seemed that Chen Dao had already slept, and she continued to touch the bedroom.
As a result, when I entered the bedroom, I still didn't find Chen Dao, only a few piles of clothes on the bed.
"Strange, where's it?" Liang Yun frowned, the house is so big, and the bathroom door is also open, I didn't see it inside.
Then her heart suddenly moved, looking at the pile of clothes on the bed, there must not be so many clothes that have just been washed and folded, and Chen Dao has always been used to the folded clothes will be immediately received in the wardrobe.
Liang Yun's eyes fell on the wardrobe in the bedroom, and then saw the slippers next to the wardrobe, so he smiled and slowly touched it.
When she got closer to the closet, she faintly heard something, and when she got closer, she could hear that it was calling "chicken"?
Is this a dream of raising chickens?
Just when Liang Yun was only two meters away from the cabinet, the cabinet door was kicked open, and Chen Dao rushed out like a tiger in the mountains, his eyes were fierce, and she was so frightened that she stood on the spot.
"Little Seven!"
Chen Dao's gaze locked on Liang Yun at once, and the ferocity and murderous aura did not subside, but he was a little more anxious and concerned: "Xiao Qi! Come on! ”
Shouting, Chen Dao rushed behind her.
This time, she finally heard what Chen Dao was shouting.
Is sleepwalking?
When she thought so, Chen Dao stopped as soon as she took a step and refocused his gaze on her.
"Ah Dao......" Liang Yun took the initiative to open his arms.
Chen Dao hugged her tightly and muttered, "You're back...... I'm sorry I scared you......"
Liang Yun patted him lightly on the back with some distress, sometimes this man gave him the feeling of being reliable like a mountain, and sometimes he was like a child who needed her care and relied on her in every way.
"Ah Dao, was it sleepwalking just now?" After a long time, feeling that Chen Dao was slowly calming down, Liang Yun asked.
"No, it's just a nightmare, and I'm not fully awake yet." Chen Dao said.
Just now he had a nightmare, dreaming that he and "Xiao Qi" were attacked by a herd of beasts, after a bloody battle, most of the other companions were killed and injured, he and "Xiao Qi" finally ran away, but they encountered another group of fierce beasts.
In the nightmare, he heard the footsteps of the beasts lurking and approaching, discovered the crisis, and reminded "Little Seven" to run.
And the footsteps I heard in the dream should be the voice of Liang Yun when she came back.
Normally, after waking up from a nightmare, he should only be unable to distinguish between reality and dreams for the first moment, and there will be some confusion, but soon the contradictions caused by visual information can make him "awake".
But after waking up from the nightmare today, he crashed out of the closet, and the first thing he saw was Liang Yun. Although the current Liang Yun and the "Xiao Qi" in the other world are also quite different in appearance, he still regards them as the same person in his subconscious, so he continues the emotions in the dream, thinking about warning and covering "Xiao Qi".
It wasn't until he sprinted forward, only to find that there was no target to fight, that he really came to his senses.
Liang Yun motioned for Chen Dao to let go of his embrace, then looked up at his face and asked, "Who is 'Xiao Qi'?" ”
Chen Dao did not hesitate, and said directly: "It's you." ”
"Me?"
"I had a dream, in the dream your name is 'Xiao Qi', and we are fighting monsters together."
Liang Yun's face was full of surprise, but she quickly realized that when Chen Dao rushed out of the closet just now, he was indeed staring at her and shouting "Xiao Qi".
And then shouting what?
Xiao Qi, run?
So when dreaming, is Chen Dao also protecting her?
She remembered the first time Chen Dao walked with her, and then fell asleep on the grass by the lake, and when she woke up, the change in his eyes when he first opened his eyes and saw her.
The instantaneous switch between fierceness and gentleness made her more aware of her place in Chen Dao's heart.
"Why are you back now? Don't you all have to take turns to accompany your grandfather? Chen Dao helped Liang Yun gently comb the hair on his sideburns and asked.
"My grandfather's situation has basically stabilized, I don't need too many people to accompany him, and now there are enough people, so I'll come back first." Liang Yun said, "I'm worried that you won't be able to sleep." ”
"Indeed, I really can't sleep without you."
Next, Liang Yun went to take a bath, while Chen Dao put away the clothes on the bed back to the closet, and tidied up the sheets and quilts.
When Liang Yun came out of the shower, Chen Dao came over to help her blow her hair again.
The two had just lived together, and when Chen Dao helped her dry her hair for the first time, she was clumsy, like fried noodles. However, after two instructions, Chen Dao is now very skilled in helping her blow her hair, which is better and faster than her own blowing.
After everything was done, the two went to bed, Chen Dao held Liang Yun's left hand with his right hand, and his ten fingers were tightly clasped.
"Good night, Dao." Liang Yun said softly.
There was no response, she turned her head in surprise and found that Chen Dao next to her was already asleep.
She looked at the man who slept as calmly as a child, his eyes were as gentle as water, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the night light beside the bed was turned to the darkest level.
