Bai Lu had a guess in her heart.
"Bang!"
The stinging pain in my nose shot straight to my brain, banishing any nascent guesses I had just made.
Bai Lu covered her nose, her vision filled with golden stars, and was comforted by Xiao Cheng, who held her in his arms and patted her head.
It had no effect at all.
My nose still hurts: "What are you doing... stopping so suddenly without even telling me?"
She clearly remembered that she was the one who led Xiao Cheng back to the room, so when did it become Xiao Cheng walking in front?
Xiao Cheng remembered that after Bai Lu let go of his hand and entered the room, she lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something.
The pace slowed down.
Slow past him, brush past him, ignore him, and stand there dumbfounded by the bedside.
He went to turn on the fan.
She just crashed into me.
Xiao Cheng glanced coldly at the fan, then gently patted the girl's back with his large hand: "I'll be more careful in the future."
"You always say that..." Bai Lu snorted, pushed him onto the bed, and whispered under the thin blanket, "Did you have any dreams last night?"
Xiao Cheng recalled what happened last night.
That beautiful, shattered dream is gradually becoming clearer from my hazy memories, still feeling somewhat unreal.
He actually had a dream.
"have."
I usually just ask Bailu every day as usual, but I forgot to ask this morning. I didn't expect there to be a surprise later.
Her nose stopped hurting instantly. She turned her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the man opposite her. Her excited hands couldn't help but grab his clothes: "What did you dream about?"
"Is it related to the pearl hair clip? Is it the 'Seven Stars Surrounding the Moon' hair clip, with seven pearls set in a crescent shape? Where have you seen the hair clip? Is it in your possession or someone else's? Where did you get it? Does the hair clip you saw have a white jade bead in the center...?"
One question after another, five, six, seven, eight, nine questions, came out of Bai Lu's excited and thrilled mouth.
After listening to everything, Xiao Cheng replied, "No."
Bai Lu: "..."
A bucket of cold water was poured over it.
All excitement and enthusiasm were extinguished.
Xiao Cheng gently rubbed the girl's stunned head and sighed helplessly, "I dreamt about you."
"Did you dream that I was wearing a hair clip?"
Bai Lu's gradually dimming eyes instantly rekindled, sparkling as she looked at Xiao Cheng.
She grabbed his hands again and held them tightly. "Tell me! Tell me! Where did you dream about me?"
Xiao Cheng: "In my dreams."
Bai Lu wanted to bite someone, but suddenly a sentence fell into her ear: "You, dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe."
Xiao Cheng's tone was light, but there was no hint of joking in it; an unyielding darkness settled in his deep eyes.
The sound seemed to drift from a distant time and space, each word breaking the silence of the room.
"In that big house, there was no one else, only you and me. I stood at the door, watching you walk towards me step by step, and as you walked..."
It just disappeared.
It was a vast expanse of white, with nothing at all.
Countless times I tried again, and the result was the same.
Bai Lu didn't miss the fleeting look of confusion and desolation in Xiao Cheng's eyes, and without thinking, she hugged him tightly.
"I also had a dream, the same wedding dream as you, except mine was shorter. I woke up as soon as you walked down the aisle..."
A sudden, bizarre dream—what revelation might it hold? Bai Lu doesn't care.
She only believed that her destiny was in her own hands.
Aside from the dream about the Seven Stars Surrounding the Moon and the hairpin, she accepts the good dreams but rejects all the bad ones.
As Xiao Cheng was recalling his shattered dream, wondering if it was related to Bai Lu's dream, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rising from his arms, its indomitable spirit resounding and calming the deepest anxieties within him.
Perhaps, when two hearts are close, they will be infected; perhaps, only she will be infected.
All of Xiao Cheng's doubts and loneliness vanished in an instant. Only when reason returned did he realize that it was all just a dream.
She was right in front of me.
It is truly his.
"I boiled all the lychees today and dried them," Bai Lu suddenly said, breaking the oppressive silence.
Xiao Cheng chuckled, his deep eyes reflecting her sweet smile: "Don't you like fresh lychees anymore?"
As he spoke, he took her fair and delicate hand and carefully examined it for any wounds or blisters.
I brought back quite a few lychees from the countryside yesterday. I had to cut them off the branches one by one, wash them, boil them in a pot, and then take them out to dry. It was time-consuming and laborious.
It might even be a hassle for your hands...
To prove to the big boss that her hand was okay, Bai Lu pinched his cheek hard: "See, are you alright?"
"You must be very strong, right?"
Xiao Cheng: "..."
"Acheng, let me tell you! Dried lychees are especially fragrant and delicious. We can not only eat them ourselves, but also try them at the market. After observing that I go to the vegetable market every day to buy vegetables, I found that the dried goods market currently only has dried longan, and lychees have not yet appeared."
"After the lychees are dried, we select the best-performing town from among the hundreds of roasted chestnut vendors and distribute the dried lychees to see how the market goes."
"If the market is good, shall we add dried fruit to the essential food products of the fruit factory? If the market isn't so good, we'll make sure it's profitable..."
Xiao Cheng noticed that every time Bai Lu encountered a new avenue for wealth, her clear and pure eyes would light up with little stars.
It shines with a dazzling light, full of fighting spirit.
Always so...unique.
"Ring ring—"
Even with the door closed, the phone rang loudly through the door, interrupting the two's money-making plans.
Xiao Cheng ignored her and even covered Bai Lu's ears: "Continue."
Bai Lu was utterly stunned by his childish behavior!
If she weren't absolutely certain that there was no alcohol on the table tonight, she would have seriously suspected that the big boss had gotten the child drunk.
"No... well, Cheng, someone's calling so late, they must have something important to say. Are you sure you don't want to listen in?"
"I'm not going."
"Ring ring—"
"Maybe it's something really urgent. Let's get up and answer the phone."
"Now is not the time to answer the phone."
Bai Lu's lips twitched slightly as she looked at the boss's annoyed and displeased expression at being disturbed, and gently took his hand.
Pull it down: "The transport convoy to Guangdong Province is on the national highway today. Jiang Zhiguang and his men didn't make a move last night, but they might have already prepared an ambush on the road today."
"I went to the market to buy groceries today and ran into Luo Shiliu, who was shopping with his grandfather. While his grandfather was buying meat, that guy ran over to me and said that he had encountered highway robbers on the way to the dock with a fruit truck team."
"Luckily, the experienced driver always kept weapons in his car, and he was carrying one too. He shot the man and ripped a big hole in his pants leg. The road bully was so scared that he wet himself."
As the vivid narration ended, the man's tall and imposing figure had already gotten out of bed.
The light and shadows gradually stretched towards the doorway.
Bai Lu's lips curled up slightly.
That's right!
This is what a rational and clear-headed leader looks like!
Xiao Cheng walked to the door, then suddenly turned back, grabbed Bai Lu's chin, and kissed her.
Bailu: "???"
The slap in the face came so suddenly and unexpectedly!
Don't we all have our pride?
"Wait for me to come back and continue."
