Chapter 143 Dream [VIP]

Chapter Summary: Let's go up the mountain to see the stars.

Two and a half hours later.

He Zhiyue drove Mu Zhi to Xingyuntai, an outdoor campsite for stargazing.

You can drive directly from the foot of the mountain to the top.

After the car reached the top of the mountain.

Mu Zhi pushed open the car door and got out. Her feet stepped onto the uneven ground scattered with small stones. She saw the tents already set up, the small colored lights hanging from them, the lights placed on the ground, and the tables, chairs, and lounge chairs set up...

Looking to the side, there was a professional astronomical telescope set up for stargazing.

I recall the entrance to the Donghua Mansion residential complex.

Mu Zhi heard He Zhiyue suggest going to see the stars together.

She first exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" and then asked directly: "Why?"

Why go to see the stars?

Why did I take her to see the stars?

He Zhiyue replied: "I remember Teacher Mu said last time that he liked to look at the stars when he was a child. I also like to look at the stars when I am unhappy. When I look up at the vast starry sky, I feel at peace."

"Sometimes when you're alone at home, the world can be too quiet."

Mu Zhi remained silent.

He Zhiyue noticed her unhappiness.

He Zhiyue also touched on his inner thoughts.

The thought of going back to that quiet house that made her feel like she didn't belong was unbearable.

I really don't want to be alone tonight.

Mu Zhi did not refuse and agreed to go up the mountain with He Zhiyue to see the stars.

But when she arrived at her destination, it seemed to be different from what she had expected.

Her idea of ​​stargazing together was to go to a place where you could see the stars, stand there for about 10 minutes and then go back.

Unexpectedly, He Zhiyue had meticulously prepared everything.

Under Mu Zhi's surprised and puzzled gaze, He Zhiyue did not explain, but simply beckoned to Mu Zhi: "Teacher Mu, come and help."

He first took two blankets from the back seat of the car and handed them to Mu Zhi: "These are new. Put them on if you feel cold. Please put the other one on the seat for me, thank you."

"oh."

The temperature on the mountain was low, and Mu Zhi felt a bit cold in the cardigan she was wearing.

She carried two blankets to the recliner, and just as she placed the blankets on the chair, she sneezed.

He then picked up a cloak and draped it over himself, instantly feeling warm.

Turning around, I saw He Zhiyue take an insulated food container out of the trunk of the car, place it on the table, and then take out the contents of the container one by one and arrange them neatly.

Mu Zhi instantly smelled the aroma of food. She had only drunk two sips of soup and a few sips of warm water all night, and now her stomach was growling with hunger.

She walked towards He Zhiyue.

"I didn't have an appetite during dinner tonight, so I packed a few dishes to go with me when I left."

"It's still warm, Teacher Mu, would you like to eat something together?"

As He Zhiyue spoke, he handed over a pair of chopsticks.

Mu Zhi followed her heart and accepted the chopsticks. "Thank you."

He sat down next to He Zhiyue.

Looking at the food box: a few crystal shrimp dumplings, peeled mantis shrimp meat with roe, a small plate of beef, and a vegetable salad.

There was also a small bowl of lily and yam porridge that He Zhiyue had just placed in front of her.

These are all dishes she often eats and likes to eat.

She realized that He Zhiyue had specially packed this for her.

It must have been the agent who asked He Zhiyue to pack it up, right? That must be it.

He Zhiyue ate a shrimp dumpling and put down his chopsticks, urging Mu Zhi to eat quickly. He then went to the car to get a small pot and started brewing brown sugar ginger tea.

By the time the ginger tea was ready, Mu Zhi had finished eating.

She finished the small bowl of porridge, feeling about 70-80% full. The discomfort from hunger disappeared, and her stomach finally felt comfortable.

My low mood has improved somewhat.

He Zhiyue then came over and finished the rest of the food without hesitation.

Mu Zhi: "..." She thought he wasn't going to eat.

Although she hadn't even touched the leftover chopsticks, she still felt that He Zhiyue was a bit too informal.

She felt embarrassed to sit back and do nothing, so she took the initiative to pack the food boxes and put them aside.

I rinsed the two cups on the table with mineral water and poured two cups of the brewed ginger tea.

While she was busy with her work, He Zhiyue chose the best "stargazing area," set up two deck chairs, one meter apart.

Seeing Mu Zhi carrying two cups of ginger tea over, He Zhiyue moved a small folding square table and placed it in the middle, next to one of the recliners.

"Would you like to sit in that one?" He pointed to the recliner next to the table.

Mu Zhi nodded: "Okay." She could easily place her cup next to the square table.

Since arriving at the campsite, the two have only exchanged a few brief words, but it was a frequency of communication that made Mu Zhi feel comfortable.

Tonight, she didn't feel like talking or asking any questions.

Then, the two sat down on the designated lounge chairs and sipped their ginger tea.

After a few sips of ginger tea, a warm feeling flowed through my entire body.

Mu Zhi put the cup down, lay down on the recliner, covered herself with a blanket from her neck to her feet, leaving only her head sticking out. She turned to look at He Zhiyue, who seemed to have also lay down.

However, the folding square table blocked the view.

She couldn't see his face, and he probably couldn't see himself either.

The awkwardness of having someone lying next to me has lessened considerably.

She turned around and looked up at the sky.

No equipment is needed; you can lie down and look up at the sky with your head tilted back to see the stars with the naked eye.

Reaching out, it felt as if one could grasp the Milky Way from the heavens, but alas, all one grasped was emptiness.

Just like her mind at this moment, it was filled with many things, and many memories from her original world flashed by so quickly that she couldn't even grasp them.

I had nothing in my pocket, and my mind was completely blank.

After winning the "Best Actress" award, Mu Zhi felt like a high-speed machine had suddenly stopped.

She knew that winning the Golden Crane Award for Best Actress was mainly an encouragement to young actors.

My achievements in the film industry are not enough to be proud of.

There is still a long way to go on the path of becoming an actor.

She has always said that she loves acting and enjoys performing, and the staff around her, the directors and actors she has worked with all think so.

But only Mu Zhi knew about winning the award tonight.

Her decision to enter the entertainment industry and become an actress was influenced by her mother; part of the reason she works so hard to win the Best Actress award is to prove herself to her mother, a three-time Golden Horse Award winner.

I wanted to tell my mother that my sister couldn't, but she could.

I want my mother to see me, and I want to make her proud.

But my mother wasn't there, nor were my father and sister.

She's all alone here.

The stars in the sky became blurry.

Mu Zhi closed her eyes and raised her hand to wipe the coolness from her cheek.

She felt tired, a wave of weariness washing over her. In her drowsy state, she heard someone calling her. One voice seemed very close, almost right next to her, while the other voice was distant yet incredibly familiar.

Then I was plunged into endless darkness.

The distant sound grew clearer and clearer, like a cry.

It turned into the cries of many people.

She felt herself float to a place where there were crowds of people outside, but she couldn't see their faces, only the dark backs of their heads.

Then she seemed to hear someone calling her name. She arrived at a sad and oppressive auditorium where people dressed in black or white were lining up to burn incense and paper money. She could feel everyone's sadness and grief, and all she could hear were cries and suppressed sobs.

She also saw a few familiar figures, but before she could get closer.

She suddenly found herself in a living room that felt both familiar and strange. Three people sat silently at the dining table: her mother, father, and younger sister.

She had been separated from her family for a long time, yet it felt like she had only been gone for a few days.

Seeing her mother, who was always impeccably made up and elegant, looking several years older, with white hair and a haggard and sad face, her father and sister also looked sad.

Mu Zhi happily walked over to them, wanting to say "I'm back," but they didn't react at all, as if they couldn't see her presence.

The mother put down her chopsticks, wiped away her tears, and went back to her room.

The father and sister exchanged a glance and then silently put down their chopsticks.

Mu Zhi went to her mother's room but didn't see her. She went into her own room and saw her mother sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her own photo frame.

The next moment, I saw my photo pasted on the stone tablet.

Her mother, father, and sister came to see her with flowers.

Mu Zhi watched as her mother knelt sadly before her tombstone, stroking the photo on the tombstone and saying "I'm sorry," filled with self-blame and remorse.

"Your mother opposes your acting career because she doesn't want you to be hurt or attacked in any way."

"She suffered so much outside when she was young, and only came back to my side when she grew up and became sensible. I wanted to make it up to her, but I didn't pamper her properly. I just imposed what I thought was good on her."

I didn't care enough for Zhizhi, I didn't love her enough, so God took her away from me again!

"Why should I avoid suspicion on the day of the award ceremony? Why didn't I bring Zhizhi with me to the ceremony?"

"Zhizhi is so talented in acting, but I have never given her a proper compliment."

Mu Zhi wanted to tell her mother that she didn't blame her.

But it couldn't make a sound.

She was like a stone beside a tombstone, silently watching all of this.

Every year on Qingming Festival, her birthday, and the day she was found, her mother or family members would come together to her tombstone to lay flowers.

1 year, 2 years, 3 years...

In the fourth year, there was another person added: the younger sister's husband.

They excitedly told Muzhi that her younger sister had gotten married this year and was pregnant with a baby.

She saw that her family members' faces were no longer so sad, and they were smiling.

She thought, time can heal all wounds, that's good.

Mu Zhi realized that she was in a dream, and the dream was about to end.

She wanted to say goodbye to her family.

She went to her sister's room, only to find her sister wasn't there. She then remembered that her sister had gotten married and no longer lived at home.

Then I went to my room and sat for a while.

Finally arriving at her parents' room, she only intended to stand by the bedside for a quick look before leaving.

It seemed to be a telepathic connection between mother and daughter; the mother opened her eyes and woke up.

He smiled and took her hand: "Zhizhi, how are you?"

Mu Zhi looked down and saw that her hands had become small.

It felt like I was back in the time right after I was brought home.

When I can't sleep at night, I secretly stand by the door to look at my new parents.

Her mother's question, "Are you doing well?" brought tears to Mu Zhi's eyes instantly.

"I'm not feeling well, and I miss you all."

Her mother gently patted her head and said, "Zhizhi, you must take good care of yourself over there and be happy."

Mu Zhi shook her head, as if to say she didn't want to leave.

But her mother let go of her hand. "Go on."

Mu Zhi held her mother's hand tightly, refusing to let go, "Don't go."

He suddenly opened his eyes.

What came into view was He Zhiyue's face, looking at her with concern.

The hand she was holding tightly belonged to He Zhiyue.
