Jiang Rao has liked bright colors since she was a child. Whether it is clothes or juggling toys, she wants the most beautiful one.
So are kites.
All the kites in the kite shop were not as beautiful in color and shape as the carp kite in her hand. However, no matter how beautiful it was, Jiang Rao had seen so many wonderful things that even if the kite was blown away by the wind, she would not miss it so much.
But this time when I woke up, I clearly remembered the appearance of the kite in the dream.
As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Ting fell silent.
He did pick up a kite, a carp kite that was half red and half green.
He thought it was a toy of a prince or princess in the palace and wanted to pretend he didn't see it and walk away. However, after hesitating for a moment, he climbed up the tree and picked it off.
This was something he had never been able to own, he had only seen others play with it from afar.
He was not envious at that time. At the age of seven, he had already seen clearly that he was not like others. With a mother who loved him, he should not have such little toys.
He thought he would never want it, but when he saw the kite hanging on the treetop, he became greedy.
He had picked up a rare interesting thing, so he avoided the Black-robed Guards who were looking for the kite flying in the sky, and hid the kite.
That was his only toy.
Unfortunately, he had no skills at that time, and the kite was eventually seen by a palace maid who was cleaning the house and thrown away.
He had always thought that it was something he had stolen, which was why he hesitated when answering just now...
Not many people know about this.
How did she know?
…
Jiang Rao just found it unbelievable.
He really did pick up a kite, so was her brief dream real?
She wanted to continue checking but couldn't remember how old she was at the time. Based on her height in the dream, she was about four or five years old.
"Maybe that's my kite." Suddenly she remembered something, her eyes brightened, she grabbed his sleeve and leaned close to him, "Was it autumn when you picked it up?"
Many people fly kites in the spring when the wind is strong, but it is not common in autumn.
Seeing Rong Ting nod, Jiang Rao stood on tiptoe excitedly, "It's really my kite!"
"It really is..." she murmured twice.
Rong Ting still had doubts in his heart, and he glanced at her calmly, "Why do you remember that kite?"
Jiang Rao raised an eyebrow, "Good memory."
Rong Ting knew her strengths and weaknesses. He admitted that she had a quick mind and had never seen her make mistakes when calculating with an abacus, but she did not have a good memory... In fact, it was quite confused.
He remained silent. Jiang Rao glanced at his expression and understood what he meant.
She only occasionally felt proud of herself, but he was really dull and didn't give her any face at all.
"If I told you, would you believe it?"
Rong Ting asked back, "Why don't you believe it?"
No matter who speaks in front of him, he will always guess what they are thinking.
But not to her.
Jiang Rao lowered her head and muttered, "My parents don't believe it."
A few years ago, when she was able to dream about what happened later, she once mentioned it to her parents while she was slightly drunk on New Year's Eve.
Her parents were stunned and burst into laughter, treating her words as nonsense.
As for the fact that dreams can coincide with the future, they think it is just a coincidence.
Seeing that her parents didn't believe her, she never mentioned it again.
After all, what happened in her dream, mentioning it would only make them misunderstand Rong Ting.
"I dreamt about it." Jiang Rao said softly.
Even though she knew the person she was facing was Rong Ting, she was still nervous because she didn’t know how he would react. She swallowed and said it again, this time her pronunciation was much clearer, “I dreamt about it.”
She clutched his arm, totally unsure of how he would react, and stared at him.
Rong Ting frowned for a long time, raised his hand and placed it on her head.
"Perhaps this dream is just a coincidence." He said calmly.
The reassuring feeling of being touched on the top of her head calmed Jiang Rao's beating heart.
She was really worried about being seen as an outsider.
The reason why I never publicize my dreams and keep a low profile is because of this worry.
She didn't think Rong Ting would look at her strangely, but she just thought about what if...
There was an instant sense of tension.
But his reaction made her feel extremely reassured.
"What if it's not a coincidence?" She still stared at him with a curious look, "What if I say that I had a similar dream before?"
Rong Ting couldn't tell for a moment whether what she said was sincere or a joke. He looked down at her and his expression gradually became serious.
"If what you say is true..."
"Don't let anyone know about this except me."
When he was seven years old, he didn't have the ability to protect the kite. Now he has it, and the thing he needs to protect has changed from the kite to her.
The kite was thrown away, so it was thrown away. He did not dare to take it lightly at all.
He warned her in a low voice, "No one."
"If you're kidding me... don't play that kind of joke on anyone else."
Jiang Rao knew this long ago, which is why she has been keeping a low profile. Seeing his reaction like this, she felt sweet in her heart. She hugged his waist and giggled, her voice softening as she said, "Brother Ting is so nice."
Rong Ting rarely heard from her how she addressed him when they were young. He heard it unexpectedly once, and his ears blushed slightly. Seeing her playful smile, he stretched out his slender fingers and pinched her cheek, "Did you remember it?"
"I'll remember it." Jiang Rao nodded and responded several times before she stopped laughing. She asked him seriously, "You've read a lot of books. Have you ever heard of such a thing being recorded in any book?"
She herself has also read a lot of books over the years.
She didn't think she was the first person in the world to have such a dream, so she always wanted to find a precedent.
But after searching through historical books, documents and folk anecdotes, I found nothing.
Rong Ting looked down at her.
She asked so seriously that it didn't seem like a joke.
He wanted to ask her what she dreamed about, but he held back and answered her question first, shaking his head and saying, "I've never heard of it."
Jiang Rao had already guessed that it would not be easy to find the root cause of this problem. He smiled and said, "There are so many strange things in this world. Maybe it is just a coincidence."
Her eyes suddenly brightened, and she took his hand and said, "I saw something very strange in a book a few days ago."
She didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately gave the answer, "The soul-guiding lamp."
"The lamp keeper uses the thirty-year life span as a guide, twists the clothes worn by the person he wants to pray for, or the cloth with his scent, into the wick, and watches over the lamp for three years without leaving it, which can help the deceased to change his soul for three years."
"I originally thought that this kind of outrageous thing was a plot made up in a folk storybook, but who knew that when I flipped through the title page of the book, it was recorded in the Baole Encyclopedia. The Baole Encyclopedia is a large encyclopedia compiled by the previous dynasty, and there are very few false things in it. Do you think it is true or false? I don't think it is true. It just so happens that the page is missing a corner. Who knows, there may be half a sentence written on the missing piece of paper, saying - 'The above-mentioned things are just folk gossips and should not be taken seriously.'"
Although Jiang Rao mentioned it in a nonchalant and joking manner this time, the first time she looked through the Baole Encyclopedia in the library was when Rong Ting had lost contact in Huaizhou.
At that time, she really wanted to give it a try.
