Chapter 394 Dream
Tang Panxia sat in front of the window, staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky. It was almost the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon in the sky was as bright as a silver plate.
Suddenly, the curtain blocking the door moved. Tang Panxia couldn't help laughing, turned around and looked over, saying helplessly, "Xiao Rou, come in."
A little head suddenly popped in from outside the door.
Ye Rou's long hair was tied into two fluffy braids, and her fox eyes contained a playful smile.
Tang Panxia smiled and waved to her.
Ye Rou was puzzled: "Aunt, how did you know it was me?"
"I smell the fragrance on you." Tang Panxia said with a smile.
Ye Rou's fragrance is rich but not pungent, and strangely, the smell is different for everyone.
Tang Panxia smelled the scent of flowers, but Aunt Song actually said it was the smell of spices.
Uncle Liu went even further and said that what he smelled was the bitter taste of medicinal herbs.
Ye Rou walked in carefully carrying a tray with dinner.
The moment she entered her aunt's room, her eyes were dazzled. The windows were half-open, rustling the gauze curtains. A table against the wall was covered with a floral tablecloth, and on it sat a blue and white porcelain vase filled with seasonal flowers. On the wall opposite the bed hung an embroidered landscape painting, its blue and green color scheme particularly vibrant.
Taking up a larger space in the room is the sewing machine and a specially wide rack for holding cloth.
On the sewing machine was a pink cat bed that had just been made. My aunt also sewed a lot of wool balls on it for Fugui to play with.
Tang Panxia patted the chair beside her.
Ye Rou walked over and put the tray down, "Aunt, please eat something."
Tang Panxia pulled Ye Rou to sit down and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Auntie, don't laugh if you don't want to."
The last time Ye Rou saw Tang Panxia smile with genuine happiness was the day she got rid of Zhang Chunsheng and moved into the cowshed.
But after coming to Beijing, my aunt smiled less and less.
Tang Panxia's smile faltered. "You're so clever, but I can't fool you."
Her voice was bitter.
Ye Rou rested her head on her arm, "Aunt, are you unhappy to see Principal Ji?"
"Happy, of course I'm happy." Tang Panxia answered without hesitation.
But after the happiness comes greater sadness.
Before she was seventeen, Tang Panxia came from a wealthy family. Although her mother died early, her father raised her and gave her double love.
She had been engaged to Ji Chunming since she was a child. She was young and full of love, and was looking forward to the future.
But after she turned seventeen, Tang Panxia became displaced and her whole life became bleak when she was dragged into a cornfield and humiliated by Zhang Chunsheng.
She never dreamed of being found and taken home by her father and Brother Ji again.
All the good things that belonged to Tang Panxia were buried deeply by her.
She is Zheng Xiu, no longer Tang Panxia. She is just an ordinary peasant woman and has never been a rich lady.
Only by telling herself this did she persevere.
She wanted to see her father again while she was still alive, even if she didn't recognize him.
Ye Rou rescued her from Zhang Chunsheng and brought her to Jing City.
After that, good things happened one after another.
There was movement in the old house, proving that my father would be back soon.
Today she met her young lover again, someone she thought she would never see again.
These are all good things, she should be happy, but... she is not Tang Panxia, she is Zheng Xiu.
Seventeen-year-old Tang Panxia has died, and the one who survived is Zheng Xiu.
This is what she has been telling herself for the past twenty years.
She thought that she had gotten rid of Zhang Chunsheng and left Dahe Village, and she could abandon everything that belonged to Zheng Xiu. She tried her best to find the Tang Panxia she once was.
But when she saw Ji Chunming, her first reaction was not joy, but the desire to escape.
Ji Chunming has been waiting for her and looking for her all these years.
After she disappeared, her father became seriously ill and went to another country for treatment. After that, they lost contact, and he had no news of Tang Panxia's father.
Ji Chunming returned to China twelve years ago, and has been looking for Tang Panxia ever since.
She should have been moved, but she was not Tang Panxia, but Zheng Xiu. Facing Ji Chunming, she just wanted to hide.
What's more, she hates.
Why didn't you find her sooner?
Although she knew in her heart that Ji Chunming was not to blame.
When she was seventeen, just after her birthday, her father sensed danger and called her, asking her to leave the country by boat immediately. Ji Chunming was tied up with family matters and did not go with her.
He held her hand and sent her onto the boat. With the old housekeeper who had worked in the Tang family for more than ten years taking care of her, Ji Chunming left with peace of mind.
But the old housekeeper saw that her relationship with Ji Chunming was getting better and better, and they would get married soon. Her father only had her as his daughter, and the Tang family's property would go to the Ji family along with her.
He had evil intentions and asked his son to sneak into Tang Panxia's house in the middle of the night, trying to make a fait accompli and take over the Tang family's wealth.
Tang Panxia struggled desperately. The old housekeeper saw that she resisted too violently and was afraid that she would not listen to them even if his son succeeded. So, he decided to go all out and knocked her unconscious and threw her off the boat.
After that, everything was like a nightmare.
Now she and Ji Chunming meet again. He is still as young and gentle as ever. His eyes are full of love for her, filled with deep longing.
But she remained calm.
Her heart is dead.
A pool of water will be splashed by a leaf that accidentally falls into it, but if the water is already dry, where do the ripples come from?
Tang Panxia picked up the spoon, stirred the rice porridge, and suddenly said, "Xiao Rou, am I dreaming?"
Ye Rou tilted her head, not understanding what her aunt meant.
Tang Panxia raised her head and stared at the girl in front of her. She was flawlessly beautiful, like the beginning of a gorgeous dream.
She said infatuatedly, "Perhaps all this was my dream. I didn't reunite with Ji Chunming, nor did I receive news of my father. I'm not in the capital. I'm still in Dahe Village, lying next to Zhang Chunsheng. I'm still Zheng Xiu, and there has never been a Tang Panxia."
"Aunt." Ye Rou was frightened by her. She grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "Aunt, you are not dreaming. I am real. All this is real, not a dream. You told me that your name is Tang Panxia, not Zheng Xiu."
Tang Panxia patted Ye Rou gently.
"Don't worry, I just said it casually, why did you take it seriously?"
She lowered her head, stirred the rice porridge again, took a sip, and said with a smile: "You made this, right?"
Ye Rou nodded.
Her eyes never wandered away, always looking at her aunt.
Auntie smiled as gently as usual, but Ye Rou always felt something was wrong.
She watched her aunt's every move, but could not see any clues.
After dinner, Ye Rou insisted on accompanying her.
Tang Panxia refused, saying that she was fine. She called Jiang Chen over and asked him to take Ye Rou back to rest early.
Ye Rou stood outside the yard, staring at her aunt's back as she left, her brows furrowed.
Jiang Chen lowered his head and looked at her closely, "What are you thinking about?"
Ye Rou looked up, and the fox's eyes were full of anxiety.
"My aunt said she was dreaming, that all this was a dream, it was fake. Is there something wrong with her?"
Jiang Chen stared at Ye Rou and suddenly said, "This is all just a dream."
In an instant, goosebumps appeared all over my body.
She suddenly lost weight and fell from a high place.
Ye Rou woke up instantly!
She sat up from the bed. The moonlight flowed quietly into the room like clear river water. Everything looked familiar.
Ye Rou looked at everything in the bedroom in a daze.
What's going on?
Wasn’t she going to deliver dinner to her aunt?
Why did you wake up in bed?
Ye Rou couldn't figure it out, so she woke up Jiang Chen who was sleeping beside her.
"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen."
Jiang Chen didn't wake up. He subconsciously reached out and pulled her down on the bed, holding her in his arms, and stroking Ye Rou's back skillfully.
The more Ye Rou struggled, the tighter she was held. Jiang Chen, who seemed to be annoyed by her desire to leave in his sleep, used his hands and feet to hold her tightly.
“…”
Ye Rou gritted her teeth and bit Jiang Chen on the face.
"Hiss." Jiang Chen finally woke up from the pain, his deep eyes rarely dull.
He was suddenly woken up by the bite, but he was not angry. He covered his bitten cheek.
"Honey, are you hungry?"
"..." Ye Rou moved her arms which were tied tightly and unable to move.
Jiang Chen loosened his grip on her slightly, but still held her.
Ye Rou didn't bother with him anymore and asked anxiously, "I was bringing food to my aunt. Why did you wake up in bed?"
Jiang Chen wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"You fell asleep, and my aunt asked me to pick you up. I brought you back."
"Ah?" Ye Rou was a little confused. "I fell asleep? Those words my aunt said... were my dreams?"
She had a confused expression, her fox eyes wide open with bewilderment. She looked very cute, and it made Jiang Chen's heart itch.
"What dream?" he asked casually.
"My aunt told me that all this is fake and she was dreaming." Ye Rou couldn't figure it out and her words were very confusing.
Jiang Chen's mind was completely taken away by Ye Rou's opening and closing red lips.
He couldn't help but move forward and kiss Ye Rou's lips.
“…”
Family members, who understands?
She was full of problems and her head hurt from thinking about them. Her partner, her good husband, was obsessed with having affairs and could not help her at all. He even caused trouble for her!
Ye Rou, who was being kissed by Jiang Chen, instantly widened her eyes, this time out of anger.
An orange-yellow flame silently lit up in the dark pupils.
"Jiang Chen, you've gone too far!"
"Bang!"
"Ding-ling-clang—"
