Chapter Twenty-Three: A Dream

Close your eyes and slowly sort through your chaotic thoughts.

It was only now that he had time to start thinking back to his family's reaction after the crash.

Actually, you can guess it...... Everybody's going to be very sad.

Bai Yu's family is happy, living in a big family since childhood, a family of more than 20 people, there is no contradiction, love each other, support each other, the old man is a good family, they are all highly educated people, get along well with each other, and even want to live separately.

Such a big family and Hemei have lived a good time for decades, but the first one to send away is Bai Yu, a black-haired man......

Grandparents will be very sad.

Bai Yu thought of the old man and saw his own body lying in the morgue, and his nose was a little sour.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger...... Not everyone can accept the crossing, their more than 20 years of accumulation of a trick to zero, choose a new starting point to start, who can open their eyes and think about doing something against the sky.

Besides, the world is still so dangerous.

This lonely emptiness and wordless fear comes to you only in the dead of night, when you are alone, and there it looks at you silently, and at a glance all the seemingly sturdy armaments are instantly crushed.

Bai Yu knew that he couldn't let this emotion swallow him, so he silently closed his eyes and said to himself: "Sleep, there is nothing left when you sleep." ”

After more than half a night of tossing, after lying down and closing my eyes, I felt that the fatigue gradually came up, and quickly paralyzed the nerves that were still in a state of horror and excitement, and my whole body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of water.

The pitch-black wave overshadowed it, and a pitch-black enveloped consciousness, drifting away with the waves, like a drifting bottle that rose and fell with the waves.

He fell asleep.

But it's not as good as I imagined.

In the haze, he came to a familiar street, with cars driving on the potholed road, with a row of shops on the left and a row of shops on the right.

He walked along the road, an old high stack of steamers in the early shop, the shopkeeper and his wife were working neatly, and there was a little girl with braids on the side eating tofu brains in bites; The middle-aged man in another car repair shop has his hands full of engine oil, which is never dark and can not be wiped clean, the commissary of another has just opened the door, the old aunt yawns and stretches her waist, and the billiard table placed in front of her is empty, and there are a few newspapers that are empty, but there is no billiards.

He continued to walk forward, turned the corner and found a courtyard, there is a very old banyan tree in the yard, there are two deck chairs placed under the banyan tree, when basking in the sun, move to the right, when hiding from the shade, move to the left, its position turns around all year round, turn to which direction corresponds to which season, the recliner has some thoughts, lying on it will make a squeaky sound, but listening to the habit also feels like a summer cicada, some harsh and some artistic conception, I always feel that something is missing when I can't hear it, Between the two deck chairs is a bench with a teacup on it and an old radio in front of it.

Around the banyan tree is a circle of two-storey bungalows, enclosed in a courtyard, each of which looks different in style, and each house has its own symbols placed at the door.

Bai Yu stood in place and walked around, he stood under the banyan tree and walked around, standing in front of the deck chair, staring at the empty courtyard.

He knew he was dreaming.

I also knew that I couldn't go back here, there were no old people on the recliners, no sound on the radio, no familiar busy figures at the door of every house, and no amiable relatives smiling.

There was one less swing on the branch of the old banyan tree, because those who liked to swing could not go back.

He crouched in front of the recliner and burst into tears.

……

I shed tears in my dream, and I thought it was just in a dream.

He didn't know why he was so awake in his dreams.

Maybe it's because he came through and gained tenacity and mental strength far beyond ordinary people.

After his tears, he calmed down a little.

Although a dream can make a self-proclaimed rational adult easily burst into tears, although he clearly knows that he is facing a distance as far as life and death.

What is done cannot be undone.

People should look forward, this is the family motto of the old Bai family.

Grandparents said, don't stay where you are.

Bai Yu stroked the banyan tree, and put a new layer of armor on his heart, he is an adult, and he has also walked through society, and he has also awakened his talent, and he has brought his own guarantee law, this start is not bad, and the thought of his relatives does not mean his own cowardice.

It's time to say goodbye, it's time to wake up.

He said to himself in his heart.

Bai Yu thought that it was time to open his eyes and wake up from his dream.

His consciousness quickly rose and detached from the dream, but as consciousness returned to his body, he felt a little strange.

A hand was caressing his face.

Hand?

Whose hands?

It can't be my own hand.

Bai Yu immediately opened his eyes and really saw a person sitting on the edge of the bed, reaching out and touching his face, because of the tears, the vision was a little blurred.

He didn't even have time to see who the other person was, but he was hugged by a tight hug.

A scent of gardenias hit your face instantly.

Bai Yu's heart was shocked.

He was a little dazed, more shocked and confused than secretly cool, he didn't understand what was going on at all, who was this woman, why did she hug her?

The other party not only hugged him, but also stroked the back of his head with both hands and patted his back, like soothing a child who was afraid and couldn't sleep.

"It's okay, it's all right, it's all gone."

"Auntie is here, don't be afraid."

Bai Yu heard an incomparably gentle voice, his panicked thinking gradually calmed down, and after the return of reason, he analyzed that it should be the relatives of this body, obviously very close, and even doting.

After all, I haven't had this treatment in my previous life, and the old Bai family has been beating children on rainy days for generations - idle is idle.

Because spoiling children and doting on them are two different things.

Bai Yu's tense mood relaxed a little, but he soon realized that it was not possible to go on like this.

The situation has become the main contradiction between the increasingly thin oxygen and the need to breathe.

Hurriedly clapped his hands and motioned for the other party to let go.

"It's okay, be more coquettish, don't carry it alone." The woman didn't realize that the clapping was a gesture for her to let go.

…… I'm going to suffocate if I keep going like this!

Bai Yu had to press forward hard, and then shrank his head down to break free, he pulled away at a very fast speed, and then rushed into the bathroom to wash his face.

Then I went back to the living room to see who it was.

is a woman dressed in loungewear with a beige shawl draped over her shoulders.

It looks familiar.

But there is no doubt that Bai Yu does not know each other.

The reason why it feels familiar is because I have seen it somewhere......

That's right, Su Ruoli.

Her facial features are very similar to Su Ruoli, about six or seven percent of the similarity, and the temperaments of the two sides are also somewhat similar, judging from the age and appearance, there is a high probability that they are mother and daughter.

And Su Ruoli is also a young man's childhood sweetheart, and it is reasonable for him to know the other party's parents.

Although he made a judgment quickly, it was a pity that Bai Yu didn't know what the other party's name was...... If it was Su Ruo's father, it would be easy to call it, but it was impossible to guess what her mother's name was.

Normal people will not learn from Tang Sanzang to ask your mother's surname.

Bai Yu couldn't find any suitable opening words for a while, and he scratched his cheek: "Good morning." ”

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "It's already noon, I saw that you didn't reply before you brought lunch, you're hungry, go brush your teeth, I'll go and heat the chicken soup." ”

Bai Yu paused, and still asked: "Before that, can you ask ......?"

"What?"

"What do you call it?"

The thermos cup in the woman's hand fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

She froze in place, her eyes full of panic: "Yujing...... Don't you scare Auntie, you don't remember me? ”
