Chapter 9 Did I cry? Is it so embarrassing?
I had a dream.
I saw "Ren" walking away, "Dan Heng" leaving with the train, and "Yan Qing" also setting off on his journey of travel.
This was not their life trajectory, but it seemed like it had to be theirs.
So I gradually couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, as if their existence was just my imagination, and the reality was: I was the only one left in this illusory world.
The emptiness in my heart urged me to capture something, but there was nothing around me, no familiar place, let alone any elements that could bring me peace of mind.
I stood in front of the railing of the platform, but it felt more like I was standing helplessly in the middle of an intersection.
——No matter which side you go, there is no way out.
Finally, I saw Jing Yuan stopped beside me. He smiled and said, "Why, have you completed all the KPIs given to you by the Shen Ce Mansion?"
I woke up instantly.
My hearing caught the noises from the outside world before my thinking did. I heard Bai Lu say to someone, "Although the sleeping incense is a factor, the main reason is the wolfsbane."
Then, a familiar voice responded: "So, it was the wolfsbane that aroused the fear in his heart, so he said that?"
Wolfsbane? What is that? I opened my eyes and met Jingyuan's thoughtful gaze.
"Did you hear it?" Although it was a question, Jing Yuan said it with particular certainty.
There's nothing wrong with admitting this, so I nodded lightly and agreed directly. As he sat up from the bed, he asked anxiously, "I didn't say anything special, did I?"
What if I said something crazy in my sleep... But judging from their attitude, I probably didn’t say anything too outrageous.
Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and laughed like Jing Yuan: "If there are any dreams, don't take them seriously. Sorry to have made fun of you two."
Bai Lu looked at me with disapproval, her eyes were so stern that I began to feel a little guilty.
I...really didn't say anything, right?
"Lady Dragon Girl?" I asked weakly.
Bai Lu slapped the ground twice with her tail, and finally couldn't help but said angrily: "Stop laughing!"
Huh? I suppressed my smile in confusion and subconsciously lowered my eyes to think: Could it be that my imitation is so bad?
Realizing that there was some misunderstanding in what she said, Bai Lu quickly added, "I, what I meant is, if you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."
After saying that, Bai Lu handed over a handkerchief and said, "Wipe your tears first."
tear? I raised my hand to touch my eyes, and actually felt a wetness.
...I wasn't really crying, was I? This is so embarrassing!
I looked at the water stains on my fingertips with some embarrassment, but finally took Bai Lu's handkerchief and said, "Thank you."
"What did you dream about?" Jing Yuan asked at the right time, "Or, what did you see?"
What did you see? The dream that was originally covered by reality suddenly emerged, and the feeling of emptiness filled the whole heart.
To be honest, I am not good at telling others directly what I have analyzed about myself, so I hesitated for a moment before answering, "I dreamed that I was going to be late for work."
Jing Yuan didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just nodded and said, "Qing Tu would definitely be very happy if he heard it."
The emotions surging in my chest were still spreading. I clenched my handkerchief and reluctantly responded, "Maybe."
Dongdong——"Since he's fine, I'll take him away first."
A sudden sound was heard in the room. I looked in the direction of the sound and noticed that Blade was leaning against the door. The sound just now was him knocking on the door frame with the hilt of his sword.
I breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt a little more at ease: "Let's go."
Go and meet up with others, and then you can have a great time in Luofu!
"Wait a moment!" Bai Lu jumped back to the table, quickly wrote a few lines, blew the ink dry and handed it to "Blade", "I have marked the usage and dosage, remember to go to Dan Dingsi to get the medicine."
Huh? Is Blade's body really that bad? I walked quickly to Blade and prepared to take the prescription.
Unexpectedly, Blade saw through my thoughts and said bluntly, "I'm getting medicine for you."
I had just pinched the prescription at that time, and when I heard that, I immediately withdrew my hand: "No, I think I'm fine, I don't need to take medicine."
I heard that Chinese medicine is usually very bitter, so I don’t drink it. Moreover, if the medicine is prescribed according to the physique of a Xianzhou person like me, a weak and pitiful human, won’t it make me burst into tears?
I looked at the prescription anxiously, and finally shook my head decisively: "I'm not sick."
Bai Lu seemed to be used to this kind of talk, so she responded without thinking: "Yeah, I'm not sick, this medicine is just for strengthening the body."
Not to mention keeping fit! No matter how healthy I am, it is impossible for an ordinary human like me to have the physique of a fairy boat person!
Wait...didn't Bai Lu say before that there are three kinds of energy in my body? It's strange, I can't feel anything at all.
But Bai Lu is the dragon girl holding medicine after all, so she wouldn't make a wrong diagnosis. No matter how I think about it, it can only be my own problem.
Damn, I really want to know! Or ask?
Bai Lu never thought that one day the rhetoric she used to persuade people to take medicine would be used on Jing Yuan. Even if this Jing Yuan was not the one she was familiar with, it was basically the same.
Unfortunately, Jing Yuan is an adult after all, and few people can persuade him from his decision.
When Bai Lu saw the other party's resistance, she thought so indignantly, but found that he hesitated again in the next moment.
There is hope! Just as Bai Lu was about to say a few more words, she heard Jing Yuan whisper, "Bai Lu, I can't feel any energy in my body, and I don't know how to use it."
How is that possible! Bai Lu subconsciously looked at Jing Yuan beside her, but found that the latter was silent, neither confirming nor denying.
In other words, what Jing Yuan said was very likely the truth.
But using this energy is just like waving your arm, it only takes a moment of thought, how can you not feel it?
Bai Lu didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Instead, Jing Yuan asked in an unusually relaxed tone, "Do you know why?"
As soon as this question was asked, Bai Lu almost thought that she was about to hear some secret past.
But Jing Yuan just smiled and said, "It seems you don't know."
If that were all, it would be fine, but Bai Lu clearly heard Jing Yuan whisper to himself after saying this, "That's good."
These three simple words seemed to contain extremely complex emotions, like relief and reluctance, and finally all turned into a sigh: "Let's go."
Run!
The awkward situation of no one answering the call is still too much for a person QAQ
I rushed out with the "blade" in my hand, and only when I stood on the busy street did I feel as if my soul had returned.
Unfortunately, Bai Lu and the others don’t understand what’s going on, so they probably don’t have any special abilities.
But never mind, it’s better this way, at least it proves that I’m still a normal human being.
I was just sighing when I was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.
Blade patted me all over, muttering to himself, "Well, no external injuries here, and no external injuries here either."
"Fortunately, it seems that you are completely fine and have not turned into anything strange."
I was shocked: "What strange thing?!"
Blade said seriously, "For example, he could become some strange experimental subject, or a controllable man-made weapon, or a boss who lost his mind, and finally be wiped out by the group."
"...You might as well say I became a creature of abundance."
Blade pondered for a moment, and finally realized, "So you like this!"
......? !
