Chapter 320: Treating Lu Yibai as a Japanese
At four o'clock in the morning, Xie Zhaoyuan suddenly sat up in bed in shock.
Pei Xingzhi had not fallen asleep to begin with, and as soon as she moved, he immediately sat up.
"What's wrong?" Pei Xingzhi straightened the crooked collar of her pajamas, touched her cheek and asked, "Did you have a nightmare again?"
"Yeah." Xie Zhaoyuan frowned, his face pale, "I dreamed that Qin Wushuang was not dead yet, and I was still imprisoned by him in that villa."
"And then?" Pei Xingzhi held her in his arms and patted her back gently as if he was coaxing a child.
She looked up at Pei Xingzhi, her bewildered eyes fixed on his handsome profile.
Pei Xingzhi had just shaved in the evening, and the circle of blue stubble on his chin was gone. His entire face was clean, and just looking at it made Xie Zhaoyuan feel at ease.
"Pei Xingzhi, why are you asking about the follow-up of my nightmare?" she asked with some confusion.
Pei Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her. Because he was not wearing glasses, his eyes were gentler than usual.
"Because you can't keep nightmares in your heart. Only by talking about them, you will feel better and slowly let go."
"Ayuan." He raised his hand and gently stroked Xie Zhaoyuan's face, his thumb unconsciously rubbing her skin. "Don't be afraid. Tell me your nightmare without worry. You will feel better after you tell me."
"...Yeah." Xie Zhaoyuan nodded and slowly told Pei Xingzhi about his nightmare under his gentle gaze.
"I dreamed that I was still imprisoned by Qin Wushuang. I wanted to escape, but Qin Wushuang wouldn't allow me, so I fought him. He couldn't beat me, so I took the opportunity to escape."
"But I didn't expect that he would catch up with me just after I ran out of the gate of the villa. I subconsciously turned around and saw that his whole body was on fire and he was completely burned to ashes."
Pei Xingzhi: "And then you woke up?"
Xie Zhaoyuan: "Yeah. I was afraid that I would see something more horrible, so I woke up immediately."
"It's okay." Pei Xingzhi crossed his legs and locked Xie Zhaoyuan tightly in his arms, "It's okay, Ayuan, everything is over. And dreams will be broken if you speak them out, and you will never have such dreams again."
Xie Zhaoyuan curled himself up and nestled in Pei Xingzhi's arms like a kitten, and put his ears against Pei Xingzhi's chest, greedily feeling his steady and strong heartbeat.
"With you by my side, I'm not that scared. It's just that Qin Wushuang's death was too tragic, and the shadow in my heart is always lingering."
Pei Xingzhi: "Then don't think about him. His parents have cremated his body and transported it back to Yuncheng overnight. From now on, Qin Wushuang is just a handful of ashes and can no longer hurt my Ayuan."
"Ayuan, be good. As long as you don't think about him on purpose, he will slowly disappear from your mind. You won't have nightmares when you mention him again in the future."
Xie Zhaoyuan: “Yeah!”
Pei Xingzhi freed one hand and took Xie Zhaoyuan's newly bought mobile phone from the bedside table: "Didn't you say you wanted to play the game of "The Wolf is Coming" with Lu Yibai? It's almost time now. Do you think the game can start?"
"Sure!" When this was mentioned, Xie Zhaoyuan instantly became excited. She sat up from Pei Xingzhi's arms, used his hand to find Lu Yibai's number on his mobile phone, and then called Lu Yibai without hesitation.
“Beep…beep…”
The call only rang twice before Lu Yibai answered it.
"Hello?" His voice sounded quite awake. It seemed that he was not asleep yet, or he had not slept at all.
Xie Zhaoyuan leaned on Pei Xingzhi's shoulder and said with a half smile: "Good evening, Mr. Lu, I'm Xie Zhaoyuan."
Lu Yibai was silent for a few seconds, then his voice suddenly rose: "Qin..."
He subconsciously wanted to call him Qin Song, but suddenly remembered that Xie Zhaoyuan said she didn't like this name very much, so he changed the subject and quickly corrected the name.
"Xie Zhaoyuan, have you and Pei Xingzhi thought it through?"
"...No." Thinking about what he was going to say next, Xie Zhaoyuan couldn't help laughing, "We haven't thought about it yet."
"You haven't thought about it yet?" Lu Yibai was a little confused. "Then why did you suddenly call me in the middle of the night? Is there something else?"
"No." Xie Zhaoyuan tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his mouth. "I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't have anything else to talk to you about. I called you suddenly just to tell you that I haven't thought about it yet."
“…”
Lu Yibai was silent.
"Hmph..." Pei Xingzhi was laughing so hard that his whole body was shaking.
Xie Zhaoyuan: "Okay, I won't disturb Mr. Lu's sleep. I'll hang up first. Good night."
After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone without giving Lu Yibai a chance to speak.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
Xie Zhaoyuan put down his phone and laughed very loudly. If the room wasn't well soundproofed, everyone in the house might have been woken up by her.
"Go to sleep." She pressed Pei Xingzhi's shoulders and domineeringly threw him on the bed. "Go to sleep for half an hour first. I will beat Lu Yibai in half an hour."
"Still want to fight?" Pei Xingzhi was shocked.
Xie Zhaoyuan: "It's the story of the boy who cried wolf. If we don't beat him a few more times, how can we let Lu Yibai down?"
"Hiss...that's right!" Pei Xingzhi suddenly realized.
Xie Zhaoyuan pulled the quilt over himself and Pei Xingzhi and said, "I have set the alarm. I will call Lu Yibai when the alarm rings."
"Well!" Pei Xingzhi turned over and pressed Xie Zhaoyuan firmly into his arms, "Then let's sleep for a while, and then get up and deal with him in half an hour!"
"Hahahahaha!" Xie Zhaoyuan couldn't help laughing just thinking about it.
Pei Xingzhi put his palms over her eyes and ordered casually: "Stop laughing and go to sleep obediently."
Xie Zhaoyuan: “Oh.”
Half an hour later, the alarm clock rang on time.
Xie Zhaoyuan immediately sat up from the bed, his eyes were clear and bright, without any sign of sleepiness.
Pei Xingzhi stood up with her and looked more energetic than her.
"Call Lu Yibai quickly." He was already a little impatient.
Xie Zhaoyuan took out his cell phone from under the pillow and called Lu Yibai again.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
This time, the ringing sounded three times before Lu Yibai answered the call.
"Hello, Xie Zhaoyuan." Lu Yibai's voice was obviously sleepy. He must have fallen asleep in the past half hour.
"Why, have you suddenly decided what you want?"
Xie Zhaoyuan: “…No.”
Lu Yibai: "Then why did you call me again for no apparent reason? What do you want to do?"
"I just want to tell you that I haven't made up my mind yet. That's it. I'm hanging up." Xie Zhaoyuan spoke very quickly. After saying this in a flash, he hung up the phone with a guilty conscience.
Then he laughed wildly with Pei Xingzhi.
“Hahahahaha!!”
“Hahahahahahaha!!!”
