Chapter 55 Dream
"Shay, you haven't got the milk yet!"
"It's too late, Mom, I'll go to the store to buy it!"
Xia Yi rode his bicycle at full speed and finally saw a familiar figure at the intersection.
"Don't ride so fast."
The young man had a pair of dark grey eyes and deep facial features. Perhaps because he was of mixed race, although they were only two years apart in age, the boundary between a teenager and a young man was very wide.
"Let's go, brother. If we go any later there won't be any seats left in the library." Xia Yi narrowed his eyes.
"No hurry, eat breakfast first."
Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and wontons.
The two of them sat on a small stall. Xia Yi soaked the cut dough sticks in soy milk and took them out immediately after two seconds.
"Enoch, you should try it too! This is the best way to eat fried dough sticks!" Xia Yi enthusiastically promoted her own way of eating them. "You only need to soak them for two seconds. That way the outside stays crispy while the inside absorbs the sweet soy milk."
The young man did as he was told.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Enoch nodded, and Shay smiled again.
"Brother! Didn't you say you were going to the library?" A clear female voice came from behind. Xia Yi turned around and saw a familiar figure.
The girl put her hands on her hips, her face puffed up. "Alright, you're eating here quietly! I finally got a chance to sleep in, but my mom had to wake me up!"
Xia Yuan realized belatedly that there was another person next to Xia Yi, and she immediately became shy: "Brother Enoch, long time no see!"
She continued, "I didn't sleep very long either. I made an appointment with my friends to play badminton later."
Xia Yi laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, you don't even have a racket on your back."
"Brother!" Xia Yuan's face flushed red after being exposed.
"What does Xiaoyuan want to eat?" Enoch interrupted their conversation at the right time.
"A small bowl of wontons, please."
"That's not enough! I need another fried dough stick and a bowl of soy milk!" Xia Yi added, "Yesterday he said he was eating long meals, but he ate all my chicken legs."
"Brother!!!" Xia Yuan's face turned red with anger.
"You are at the age of growing taller, so it's better to eat more." Seeing that the brother and sister were about to start arguing again, Enoch spoke again.
"It's your treat today, right?" Xia Yuan suddenly said to Xia Yi. After receiving a positive response, Xia Yuan shouted to the proprietress, "Madam, give me another serving of egg yolk steamed buns and two red bean paste buns to take away!"
After Xia Yuan left, the two stayed in the library until four o'clock. Xia Yi stretched and glanced at Enoch who was concentrating, writing on the draft paper.
[I'm hungry. Let's go to Si Niang Fried Chutney and buy some fried chicken strips. Then we'll go to my grandma's house for dinner tonight. How about that?]
【You haven't been there for a long time! 】
Let’s go!
Enoch wrote only one word on it.
good.
——
"It's over, it's over. Now even Xia Yi has been devoured by the Beast Mother! If both of them are assimilated, then this Beast Mother will be even stronger than the one in the original world!!!" Ome held his square head and walked back and forth in space anxiously.
"Psychic systems are truly difficult to counter. They can unearth the enemy's greatest desires and deepest fears. They might be able to break through nightmares, but who would wake up from a sweet dream on their own accord?"
"And Shay has anchored Enoch's spiritual sea. Their spiritual seas are inseparable, which means their dreams will affect each other!"
"The Enoch in Shay's dream is real, and the Shay in Enoch's dream is also real. It's impossible to tell that this is a dream!"
"I'm done. This world may be heading towards destruction even faster than the original world! The Lord God will throw me back into the furnace to be remade!"
"Don't worry." Euphemia remained calm. "In the original world, Enoch's mind went berserk, and all he had left in his consciousness was killing. But look at him now..."
Ome pulled his gaze from Shay's dream and looked at Enoch's.
The major general's entire body was surrounded by faint green light spots, and at first glance, he couldn't even be seen in human form.
In contrast, his expression was relaxed, just like his dream.
——
The grass is green.
Under a huge sycamore tree, there was a female insect.
"I found you."
The little male insect hiding in the tree still refused to come down.
"The sixth branch from the bottom up, the child wearing white shoes."
The female insect with black hair and gray eyes stretched out her arms, and saw that the two feet hidden in the dense leaves were retracted by the main insect.
The more you try to cover up, the more obvious it becomes.
"You have to accept the loss." The female insect advised patiently, with a smile on his face, without any impatience.
"Alright, alright." A small head poked out from between the branches. Young Xia Yi leaped down from a height and was caught steadily by the gray-eyed female insect. "You win this time."
"I'll go back and do my homework," Xiao Xiayi said, "but you have to tell the teacher not to deduct my pudding."
"Then what good does it do me?"
The female held him firmly in her arms.
Xiao Xiayi tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I'll give you a piece of pudding?"
The female insect with gray eyes just smiled without saying anything.
"Two?" Xiao Xiayi felt a little sad after saying this. He could only eat three puddings a week. "If you eat two, you'll get cavities."
“Tooth decay can be very painful.”
Xiao Xiayi continued to lobby, and seeing that the gray-eyed female insect remained indifferent, he became a little anxious.
"How about this! I'll marry you when I grow up!" He tried hard to sell himself. "It would be great if you could be my queen!"
"Where is good?"
"Well... from now on, I'll give you half of the pudding every week, and the crystal fruit too!"
"Yeah, that sounds good."
"And, I can take you to my secret base and let you use my new crayons." Little Xia Yi completely forgot that the female insect in front of him bought her new crayons. "My bookmark can be opened to put little insects inside!"
"It's stereoscopic!"
"Yeah?"
"Yes! But the teacher found out and confiscated it from me!" Xiao Xiayi rubbed his face in embarrassment. "If you help me get it back, I will marry you."
"Xia Yi, you just took the initiative to say you wanted to marry me."
"Uh..." Xiao Xiayi paused, remembering what the other bugs had said, and cautiously probed, "Then I'll only marry you?"
"Is it a deal?"
"Hook! Increase the price!"
The slender little finger is hooked on the other big hand, and then the thumbs are pressed together.
"No changes for a hundred years!"
"No changes are allowed for a hundred years."
"hey-hey!"
Ome's mind was filled with black lines. He didn't know what the mother insect would feel. He finally caught a female insect with a physical fitness of S, but the female insect was only thinking about raising the cubs and tricking the cubs into making a promise.
I didn't expect that Enoch Webster, who looked like a bad boy, actually liked to have an affair with a child in private!
Fortunately, he did not do anything out of line. Instead, he diligently raised the male insect and was more dedicated than a father.
Ome went to see Shay again.
Everyone here is having a great time, but time is passing much slower than in Enoch's place. Little Xia Yi next door is already 16 years old, while she just arrived at her grandmother's house and hasn't even had dinner yet.
"Shay, go wash some strawberries! And peel the grapefruit!"
"Okay!" Shay agreed while pushing Enoch towards the sofa. "Would you like to watch TV first?"
Xia Yi washed the strawberries, and her grandmother asked, "Hey, did you soak them in salt water? You need to soak strawberries in salt water, because it has the most pesticides!"
"It's soaked--" Xia Yi drawled out.
"Oh, it seems like time is running out. Go sit in the living room and help me shell the peas."
"Okay, okay!"
Shay took a basket of pea pods and moved a small chair to sit next to the trash can in the living room.
He moved very skillfully. With just a few pinches, breaks and strokes of his hands, he peeled out all the beans.
Enoch sat beside him and imitated him.
But his movements were much more clumsy. He always had to open the pea pods wide before he could pick out the peas, and he always broke the pea pods because he used too much force.
"Haha, that's not the case. Look, it has a stem. Pinch it from the top, tear off the stem, and squeeze it, and it will open."
Shay demonstrated it again. Enoch had obviously never done housework before and was a little clumsy in learning.
"It's okay, I used to be like that too."
Enoch turned his head and saw a smile on Shay's face.
I actually felt a little lonely.
"My dear grandson, hurry up, it's time to start cooking!"
"Okay, Grandma, right away!"
That moment seemed like an illusion to Enoch.
The people from the Xia family came back one after another.
Jiang Suxin went home first: "Hey, Mom, I said I would come back to cook dinner."
"It's okay, it's okay, I can still do it!"
"Then I'll make boiled fish. I bought grass carp." She turned to Enoch and said, "Enoch is here too. Can you handle spicy food?"
"Yes, Auntie."
"Don't make it too spicy, he can't eat it!" Xia Yi quickly interrupted.
"Okay, I'll make it slightly spicy. Does Enoch have any dietary restrictions?"
She put on an apron and tied her hair up.
Xia Yuan also came back. She was eating a cone. Seeing Xia Yi looking at her, she quickly protected the cone and said, "I only bought one!"
"I won't steal it from you." Xia Yi was speechless.
"This is for Brother Enoch." Xia Yuan handed the paper bag to Enoch.
"Okay! You remember Enoch, but not me!"
"Now I have no pocket money! Hehe!" Xia Yuan ran back to the room with a smile.
Shay hooked his arm around Enoch's shoulders and looked at the paper bag.
Inside were two burgers.
"I knew there would be one for me," Shay exclaimed. "Wow, it's a rice burger again! I haven't had one in ages!"
Jiang Suxin poked her head out from the kitchen: "It's time to eat, no snacks!"
The last one to come back was Xia Xiangwen.
"Enoch is here, just in time, I bought some sweet-skinned duck."
The whole family sat at the round table. Xia Yi brought the last dish of stir-fried vegetables to the table, and Xia Yuan poured soy milk for everyone one by one.
Everyone was talking and laughing.
"Hey, brother, did you choke?" Xia Yuan quickly poured Xia Yi a cup of soy milk. "Look at you, your eyes are red from choking."
"I haven't eaten spicy food in a long time." Xia Yi coughed twice.
"Eat slowly, kid. It's like you haven't eaten in a year."
"It's a long meal, it's better to eat more!"
After the meal, Shay and Enoch sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
The elm trees are lush and leafy, and there are no stars in the night sky, only a moon.
The summer night in the courtyard is so quiet.
After a long while, Enoch heard Shay whisper.
"If only all this were true."
