Chapter 24 Dream
After Lu Qingmian was able to move, the five-pointed stars with large tails that were suspended in the night sky also resumed their trajectories and fell around the two of them one after another.
Jiang Jinyue kept leaning back, his legs no longer able to support him, and he relied entirely on Lu Qingmian's arms around him to support his weight. Perhaps it was because he was too nervous or because he was very familiar with Lu Qingmian's breath, but the slightest sign of the PTSD stress reaction was suppressed by his own rapid heartbeat.
"How, how can you move?" Jiang Jinyue asked stutteringly, his golden eyes wide open.
Lu Qingmian looked down at Jiang Jinyue from a very close distance. "Can't I move? You haven't answered my question yet, Patient Jiang."
Jiang Jinyue's eyes drifted, and several strings in his head were plucked frantically. He kept thinking about why Lu Qingmian could move, why his ability suddenly became ineffective, was it because he had used this ability continuously today?
Lu Qingmian's gaze was too oppressive. Jiang Jinyue closed his eyes and acted like an ostrich, frantically asking Golden Finger in his head. He thought Golden Finger would pretend to be dead like he had done countless times in the past, but he didn't expect that this time Golden Finger would give him a reply.
The flat tone laughed irresponsibly in his mind: "Hehe."
Jiang Jinyue: "..."
Lu Qingmian looked at Jiang Jinyue's trembling eyelashes, and blew on them maliciously. The two eyelashes like small brushes trembled even more violently, and even the wings he held in his arms were shaking.
The wings feel fluffy, soft and warm to the touch, but they shake like sieve chaff.
Lu Qingmian couldn't help but chuckle, "Patient Jiang, if you don't answer my question, then I can only charge you a tip for using the extra treatment in advance."
Jiang Jinyue opened his eyes a crack, but before he could see Lu Qingmian clearly, he closed them again. His neck was stiff, and his hands unconsciously grabbed Lu Qingmian's clothes, and he began to pretend to be dead like Goldfinger.
Lu Qingmian continued, "If you don't object, I'll take it as your consent?"
Jiang Jinyue was still pretending to be dead, but Lu Qingmian stopped talking.
For a moment, the only sounds on the top of the tower were the ticking sound of the clock's second hand resuming its rotation and the popping sound of the five-pointed stars with large tails shattering on the ground.
None of these sounds were as loud as Jiang Jinyue's own heartbeat in his ears.
He began to pray that Lu Qingmian could not hear his heartbeat.
Lu Qingmian suddenly stopped talking. Jiang Jinyue wanted to open his eyes several times, but he didn't dare.
Until the gentle breath gently touched the tip of his nose, bringing a slight itch.
Jiang Jinyue wrinkled her nose, and the tip of her nose twitched up and down, looking completely adorable without realizing it.
Lu Qingmian lowered his eyes and said in a softer voice, "Jiang Jinyue, open your mouth."
Jiang Jinyue's body obeyed the order before his brain. His rosy and plump lips opened slightly, and his hearing was infinitely amplified at this moment.
A slight sound of fabric rubbing against each other reached his ears, and the next moment, something cold was stuffed between his lips.
Lu Qingmian continued to order: "Shut up."
Jiang Jinyue pursed her lips tightly, holding something between her lips. It was thin and cool, but it didn't seem to be her lips?
Lu Qingmian lowered his head and leaned close to Jiang Jinyue's ear, "Bite hard...
The tone of the last word was slightly emphasized. Jiang Jinyue bit down hard. The crisp taste shattered on the tip of his teeth, and a bitter juice immediately filled his mouth.
Jiang Jinyue suddenly opened his eyes, pushed Lu Qingmian away, stood up straight, and took the thing between his lips and teeth.
A leaf that had already been bitten on one side was now bitten on the other side as well.
Jiang Jinyue stared blankly at the leaves, muttering aggrievedly, "It's so bitter..."
Lu Qingmian curled his lips, "Are leaves delicious?"
Jiang Jinyue shook his head honestly, "It's not delicious, not delicious at all."
Looking at Jiang Jinyue's pitiful little appearance, Lu Qingmian stretched out his finger and gently rubbed the green juice on Jiang Jinyue's lips, his fingertips trembling a little.
Jiang Jinyue looked over in confusion and saw that Lu Qingmian's shoulders began to tremble. His tightly pursed thin lips suddenly curled up into a big arc, and he suddenly laughed heartily.
“Hahahahahahaha.”
Jiang Jinyue blinked slowly, and blinked again. The Lu Qingmian laughing in front of him was real, not an illusion. It was the first time he saw Lu Qingmian laughing so happily.
In Lu Qingmian's laughter, the bitterness in Jiang Jinyue's mouth seemed to have faded a lot. He curled his lips and wanted to complain, but the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from rising, and finally he laughed along with Lu Qingmian.
The falling five-pointed stars with large tails gradually became sparse, the meteor shower slowly stopped and disappeared, and the night sky returned to silence.
After the laughter ended, the two sat in front of the big clock on the top of the tower and looked at the city below the tower together.
The end of the meteor shower is like a brilliant firework that disappears in silence, bringing a sense of inexplicable melancholy.
Jiang Jinyue looked at the winding city roads under the tall buildings, and Tang Zebin's tearful little face flashed through his mind.
"Xiaobin...will you have a nightmare tonight?" Jiang Jinyue sighed softly.
Lu Qingmian sat next to Jiang Jinyue, their shoulders only half a fist away from each other.
"Nightmares always last longer than sweet dreams." Lu Qingmian said.
The beautiful and huge six wings behind Jiang Jinyue flapped gently. He raised his fingertips and traced the route of the city, with faint fragments of light falling from his fingertips.
Looking at the light that slowly dissipated after falling, Jiang Jinyue's eyes lit up and he suddenly stood up from the edge of the building, "I know what to do!"
He stood up and extended his hand to Lu Qingmian, his tone full of urgency: "Lu Qingmian, come with me quickly."
Lu Qingmian looked at the slender fingertips stretched out in front of him, without asking anything, he took her hand and stood up.
Jiang Jinyue took Lu Qingmian to the back of the big clock at the top of the tower. There was a small door here, which was only entered by the staff who were usually responsible for maintaining the clock.
At this time, there was a big lock hanging on the small door. The lock was covered with dust and it was obvious that it had not been opened for some time.
"Lu Qingmian, let's go here." Jiang Jinyue looked at the locked door seriously.
Lu Qingmian raised an eyebrow: "Here?"
Jiang Jinyue looked at Lu Qingmian, raised the corners of his mouth and tried to smile mysteriously, but that smile looked silly no matter how you looked at it.
He grabbed the door handle and pulled hard.
The accident starts from this moment.
A hazy and illusory door appeared on the locked door. Jiang Jinyue pulled the door open. He pulled Lu Qingmian and stepped in without hesitation.
As I walked into the door, my body felt like it was passing through a layer of water film. My breathing tightened and then returned to normal. Everything in front of me was bizarre. There were clocks of different sizes and styles floating in the air everywhere. The clock hands were turning at different speeds, but I couldn't hear any sound.
Jiang Jinyue didn't say anything, but just held Lu Qingmian's hand tightly and walked forward. After walking for about a minute, a beam of light appeared. They walked through the light and stepped on the road full of fine soil and stones.
"Where is this?" Lu Qingmian saw a huge sign saying "Under Construction" hanging in front of him. Going further in, he could see the shadows of many large machines and the figures of many workers working. It was obviously a construction site.
In front of the construction site, a woman wearing a safety helmet was standing there with a sad look on her face.
The woman looked haggard, her clothes were covered in mud, and she was wearing a tattered apron. She looked blankly in the direction of Lu Qingmian and Jiang Jinyue.
Behind the two of them, there was a sudden sound of footsteps. The sound was not loud, and it sounded like a child running towards them.
Jiang Jinyue turned around and saw a little boy running towards them with a cell phone hanging around his neck and a smile on his face. It was Tang Zebin.
"This is... Tang Zebin's dream." Jiang Jinyue explained softly to Lu Qingmian.
Lu Qingmian had already guessed it. He suddenly tightened his grip on Jiang Jinyue's hand and then suddenly loosened it, a flash of shock in his eyes.
Jiang Jinyue looked at Tang Zebin who was getting closer and closer, and went to meet him.
“The past cannot be changed, but the future can be.”
If he didn't stop it, Tang Zebin would keep recalling the horrific scene of his mother being crushed by steel bars in his dreams, just like in reality.
Jiang Jinyue stopped Tang Zebin. The wings behind him were shining brightly, but Tang Zebin seemed not to see them. He just looked at Jiang Jinyue's face in surprise, "Brother Jiang? Why are you here?"
In reality, Tang Zebin didn't know Jiang Jinyue at this time, but the dream was different.
After Tang Zebin asked, he looked at Lu Qingmian behind Jiang Jinyue and was even more surprised. "Brother Lu? Why are you here too?"
Lu Qingmian had already guessed what Jiang Jinyue was going to do. Without further explanation, he squatted down, took Tang Zebin's hand, and said, "Your parents asked me to come find you."
"Mom and Dad?" Tang Zebin was puzzled. He wanted to look behind Lu Qingmian. He remembered that he came here to find his mother, and his mother was there.
Jiang Jinyue stepped forward, blocking Tang Zebin's view, and said, "Yes, your parents asked us to take you to the cinema. Haven't you always wanted to see the movie 'Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf'?"
When Tang Zebin heard they were going to see an animated film, his doubts immediately disappeared. An expression of anticipation appeared on his face as he asked, "Really? Are Mom and Dad really going to take me to see Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?"
He begged his parents many times, but they never had the time to take him to see it.
"Well, let's go quickly. The movie will start soon if we don't go." Jiang Jinyue stepped forward and held Tang Zebin's other little hand.
The two men sandwiched Tang Zebin in the middle and walked in the opposite direction of the construction site.
The path covered with dirt and stones only lasted a short distance before the surrounding scene changed.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them were standing in front of the cinema. The cinema, which should have been bustling, was empty except for them. Not only here, but there was no one else on the entire street. However, Tang Zebin could not notice anything unusual, as if in his eyes, this place was no different from usual.
At the entrance of the cinema, a large movie poster suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was the poster of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
Tang Zebin pointed at the little white sheep with a bell around its neck on the poster and said happily, "Brother Lu, Brother Jiang! Look, it's Pleasant Goat!"
Then he started looking around again: "Where are my mom and dad?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman walked out of the cinema. The man had a dark complexion and a simple look, and although the woman looked tired, her facial features were delicate and her smile was gentle.
"Xiaobin! Mom and Dad are here, come here quickly!"
Jiang Jinyue and Lu Qingmian let go of each other's hands, and Tang Zebin immediately ran over and threw himself into the arms of his parents, and the three of them walked into the cinema.
Looking at the quiet street, Jiang Jinyue said, "This is the street in Xiaobin's dream. Should we wait here for him to finish watching the movie?"
Lu Qingmian took Jiang Jinyue's hand again and led him into the cinema: "Let's go in and see The Sheep and the Wolf."
Jiang Jinyue laughed: "What sheep and wolves? It's Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf!"
The cinema was as quiet as the street outside. Tang Zebin and his family sat in the middle seats. The cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was playing on the big screen, but if you look closely, you will find that it is not a complete movie, but a clip that is repeated over and over again. It looks very much like a movie trailer.
Because the real Tang Zebin has never seen this movie, only scenes like this can appear in his dream.
Lu Qingmian took Jiang Jinyue to sit in the back row and watch the repetitive cartoon clip together. Jiang Jinyue felt bored after watching it for a while and couldn't help but lean over to Lu Qingmian's ear and whispered, "Lu Qingmian, do you like watching cartoons?"
He thought Lu Qingmian would say that he didn't like it or that it was childish, but he didn't expect Lu Qingmian to say, "I like it."
Jiang Jinyue became interested and immediately asked, "What cartoons do you like?"
Lu Qingmian glanced over and asked, "Are you curious?"
Jiang Jinyue nodded vigorously, "Very curious!"
Lu Qingmian curled his lips, the smile on his lips looked so evil no matter how you looked at it, "I'll show you when I have the chance in the future."
The tone was as if he was saying that he was going to show Jiang Jinyue a horror movie.
Jiang Jinyue thought a cartoon was nothing special, so he readily agreed, "Okay, you can show it to me next time."
Lu Qingmian's expression was unpredictable, which made Jiang Jinyue's back go numb, and he suddenly wanted to regret it.
At this time, the big screen went dark and the movie was over.
Tang Zebin happily walked out of the cinema holding his parents' hands, and as he walked, he skipped and suggested, "Mom and Dad, how about we go to KFC? I want to eat hamburgers and fries!"
Jiang Jinyue's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Tang Zebin's parents did not answer, but just silently took Tang Zebin out.
Jiang Jinyue and Lu Qingmian followed the three of them and arrived at the entrance of the cinema.
The streets were as silent as before.
Tang Zebin's parents let go of Tang Zebin's hands, stood together, faced Tang Zebin, and said, "Xiaobin, it's time for us to go."
The surrounding streets began to twist and break, gradually revealing the construction site behind.
Jiang Jinyue was horrified and flapped his wings violently to fly into the air. The golden light at the end of his wings spread upwards, gradually dyeing the entire wings a brilliant golden color.
Lu Qingmian looked up and saw a golden halo faintly appearing above Jiang Jinyue's head.
The halo gradually changed from the translucent gold when it first appeared to a solid state, shining like the most beautiful gold, but even more dazzling than gold.
Jiang Jinyue stretched out his hands, flapped his wings gently, and golden light fell from his fingertips and wings like a waterfall.
Golden light flowed quickly to the broken corners of the street, repairing the holes and healing them, and the impact of the construction site gradually disappeared.
Tang Zebin's parents, who had already walked a few steps away, stopped, turned around, and walked back to Tang Zebin.
Tang Zebin looked dazed as he looked up at his parents, fear and terror in his eyes.
He actually always remembered that his parents were dead.
Tang Zebin's father sighed, squatted in front of Tang Zebin, and gently touched Tang Zebin's head. His broad and rough hands were warm and gave him a sense of security.
"Xiaobin, have you been okay these days?"
Tang Zebin's mother also squatted in front of Tang Zebin, and her fingertips, covered with small wounds, gently adjusted Tang Zebin's collar, and said softly:
"Our Xiaobin, you must be having a hard time these days, right?"
Tang Zebin opened his mouth slightly and stared at his parents with wide eyes, "Mom and Dad..."
Tang Zebin's father put his hand on Tang Zebin's thin shoulders and pressed hard. These shoulders were tender and weak, and obviously not strong enough to bear the hardships of life.
"Xiaobin, it's Daddy's fault. Daddy didn't take good care of Xiaobin, nor did he protect himself. Xiaobin left Daddy so early. Daddy is sorry for Xiaobin."
Tang Zebin blinked his wide eyes and a tear fell.
Tang Zebin's mother leaned over and gently kissed Tang Zebin on the forehead, her eyes full of guilt, apology, and deep love.
"Xiaobin, Mommy regrets it so much. I was too cowardly. I couldn't accept Daddy's departure. I didn't dare face the future. I'm sorry, Xiaobin. If, if I could do it again, I would never give up on our Xiaobin. Our Xiaobin is the best child in the world and my most beloved baby."
Tang Zebin's tears began to fall one after another, and the huge teardrops kept hitting the ground and disappeared into the illusory dream.
Lu Qingmian stood aside, watching all this quietly. Behind him was Jiang Jinyue, who was floating in the air with his eyes closed.
He knew that all of this was a dream that Jiang Jinyue created for Tang Zebin. This dream was illusory and unrealistic, but it was Jiang Jinyue's tenderness and the courage he wanted to give Tang Zebin to work hard and grow.
"Mom..." Tang Zebin reached out and tightly grasped the corner of the woman's clothes, his voice choked with sobs.
Tang Zebin's father wiped away Tang Zebin's tears with his rough fingers, his voice heavy yet gentle: "Xiaobin, the road ahead will be bitter and difficult, and there may be many hardships. But Dad believes that Xiaobin is the strongest child, and he will definitely grow up hardworking and kind, right?"
"Dad, don't go!" Tang Zebin was already crying.
Tang Zebin's mother gently stroked her son's cheek, her hot tears making people tremble with fear.
"Xiaobin, Mommy loves you. Xiaobin, you have never done anything wrong. You are the kindest and most sensible child. Mommy has never regretted it for a single day. Mommy feels happy to be Xiaobin's mother. In the future, without your parents around, Xiaobin, you must listen to Grandpa, eat well, and grow up healthy and happy."
Behind Tang Zebin's parents, a golden light appeared, as if guiding them to heaven.
Tang Zebin's parents stood up, waved goodbye to Tang Zebin, slowly turned around, and walked towards Jinguanli hand in hand.
Little Tang Zebin ran forward a few steps, then stood still and cried out loudly: "Mom and Dad, don't go, please, don't go! Don't go... wuwuwu..."
Suddenly, a series of "woof woof woof" and "meow meow" sounds were heard, and a group of cats and dogs of different shapes and colors appeared behind Tang Zebin's parents and surrounded the two people, as if they were seeing them off.
Tang Zebin recognized that the cats and dogs were the small animals that his father had rescued.
Suddenly, many people appeared on both sides of the quiet road. Tang Zebin was very familiar with most of these people. They were... the people his father had helped.
An old man with a hunched back and tattered clothes waved to Tang Zebin's father and said, "Xiao Tang, thank you for helping me push the cart all these years. Without you, my back wouldn't be able to function at all."
An old man with a vegetable basket also waved to Tang Zebin's father, "Xiao Tang, thank you for buying my leftover vegetables every day so that I can go home earlier."
A young woman bowed to the back of Tang Zebin's father and said, "Thank you, big brother! If you hadn't helped me catch the thief, I would have lost all my salary this month!"
A man, a child, and even a little bird appeared, and they all thanked and said goodbye to Tang Zebin's father.
There is never anything wrong with being kind.
Tang Zebin fell to the ground, looked at his parents' backs and began to cry loudly. His sobs were mixed with small words, full of reluctance and sadness.
"Dad...Mom...I will grow up well, I will be strong, I will be a kind person..."
As Tang Zebin cried, the street became brighter and brighter, until it was so bright that people could not open their eyes.
Tang Zebin's parents, those who showed up inexplicably to express their gratitude, the happy figures of the little animals, and little Tang Zebin were all drowned in the light and disappeared.
Jiang Jinyue was still floating in the air, but the speed at which his wings flapped was getting slower and slower, and the golden light on his wings was gradually dimming.
The next moment, Jiang Jinyue fell from the air as if exhausted.
Lu Qingmian opened his arms and caught him steadily.
Caught the soft-hearted angel.
Jiang Jinyue slowly opened his eyes, and the golden halo above his head slowly disappeared.
After the halo disappeared, the surrounding scene changed, and the two people reappeared in front of the small door at the top of the tower.
Lu Qingmian sat on the ground, Jiang Jinyue sat in Lu Qingmian's arms, his forehead resting on Lu Qingmian's shoulder, his nose gently sniffing the scent belonging to Lu Qingmian, which was clean and cold.
The two men remained silent for a long time, and no one spoke.
After a while, Lu Qingmian said softly, "Won't you have hallucinations if you lean on me like this?"
Jiang Jinyue moved slightly and put his ear to Lu Qingmian's chest, and heard a steady heartbeat.
He closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his breathing was intermittent and unsmooth. He seemed to be exhausted and his voice was very low.
"Yes, I saw the bad guys, the dark little warehouse, and heard their laughter."
Lu Qingmian loosened his arms slightly: "Even so, you still want to stay in my arms?"
Jiang Jinyue gently rubbed her cheek against Lu Qingmian's chest, still without opening her eyes. "Well, I will slowly overcome it, breathe hard, and find a way to escape from this illusion. At this moment, I just want to lean on you."
Lu Qingmian tightened his arms again, lowered his head, and rested his chin on the top of Jiang Jinyue's head.
"Lu Qingmian, you are so warm." Jiang Jinyue turned her head, and a tear flowed down the corner of her eye and seeped into Lu Qingmian's clothes.
As the two people hugged each other quietly, on the other side of H City, at Tang Zebin's home.
Tang Zebin woke up crying in his sleep. The gray-haired old man who had been guarding the bed immediately hugged Tang Zebin tightly and asked in a hoarse voice as softly as possible:
"Xiaobin, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Tang Zebin opened his eyes crying, hugged his grandfather tightly, and cried and shouted, like the tender cry of a baby animal.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I saw my parents. I missed them so much..."
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm sorry..."
"I will try my best to grow up, I will try my best to grow up..."
Late at night, Lu Qingmian sent Jiang Jinyue back to 1203.
Before leaving, Lu Qingmian suddenly looked at Jiang Jinyue seriously and warned, "Jiang Jinyue, never go into my dream."
Jiang Jinyue didn't understand why, but nodded in agreement.
After Lu Qingmian left, Jiang Jinyue couldn't sleep at all.
He held his phone and wrote a diary in his own exclusive forum "Yue's Nest", carefully recording his ups and downs of emotions. After finishing, he put down his phone and stared at the clock hanging in the living room in a daze.
The second hand of the clock moves one by one, making a "tick-tick" sound.
Jiang Jinyue slowly raised his hand and placed his fingertips on his shoulders, as if hugging himself, but the hug was not warm.
He clearly had PTSD, and touching Lu Qingmian would cause him to hallucinate, and the feeling of suffocation during the stress reaction was so painful, but Jiang Jinyue actually felt that he had begun to crave Lu Qingmian's arms.
"Don't ever come into my dreams."
Lu Qingmian’s words echoed in his ears.
Jiang Jinyue's fingertips gently clicked on the clothes, and her fine white teeth rubbed her lips, a little hesitant.
Finally, he stood up, walked to the clock, took a deep breath, and murmured, "I'll just take a look, just one glance. I won't let Lu Qingmian find out."
The next moment, Jiang Jinyue stood on tiptoe and his fingertips touched the cold surface.
A golden light appeared where the fingertips touched the surface, and it spread instantly, making the entire room as bright as day.
Jiang Jinyue only felt a flash before his eyes, and the scene changed.
He appeared in a very empty place. There was nothing here, only darkness as far as the eye could see.
Jiang Jinyue walked forward tentatively. After what seemed like a very long time, he heard a "plop" sound under his feet, as if he had stepped on water.
With the help of the faint golden light scattered from the wings, Jiang Jinyue lowered his head. After seeing the "water" under his feet clearly, his heart tightened and his breathing was choked for a moment.
What was under his feet was not water at all, but an endless pool of blood, in which the blurry figure of Jiang Jinyue was faintly reflected.
This is Lu Qingmian’s dream.
Jiang Jinyue breathed gently to calm the fear that was spreading in his heart. He stepped on the pool of blood and continued forward with a creepy "click" sound.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, he just felt that in such darkness and blood, everything was so suffocating and scary.
Gradually, other things finally appeared around. After seeing those things clearly, Jiang Jinyue paused and his fear intensified.
There were dolls with broken hands and feet, some in human form and some in animal form, piled up in a disorderly manner. Blood was constantly flowing down from the broken parts of the dolls' bodies, and there were also many broken limbs of dolls on the road.
The black holes where the doll's eyes had been gouged out stared straight at Jiang Jinyue, making Jiang Jinyue's back shiver.
"Lu Qingmian?" Jiang Jinyue couldn't help but call Lu Qingmian's name in a low voice.
His voice produced a small echo in the dark environment, and Jiang Jinyue immediately stopped shouting.
In this darkness, Jiang Jinyue became the only light.
He should have stopped there and turned to leave Lu Qingmian's dream, but for some reason, Jiang Jinyue continued to move forward step by step.
Finally, he heard some movement in the darkness.
It sounded like a woman's voice, but it was a little strange when you listened carefully.
He quickened his pace, almost jogging, and finally saw a dim light ahead.
A bed suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the lamp on the bedside table was dimly lit.
On the bed, a disheveled woman stood with her back to him, her shoulders slightly hunched, not knowing what she was doing.
Jiang Jinyue frowned and moved closer, "Lu Qingmian?"
As he got closer, he could finally hear the woman's voice.
"Die, die, die..."
One twisted curse after another reached Jiang Jinyue's ears. Jiang Jinyue paused, then thought of something and ran forward quickly.
He walked around the bed and finally saw what the woman was doing.
A woman was holding a large pillow and pressing it hard against the face of a child on the bed. The child's hand was holding the woman's wrist, but the strength was so weak that it seemed like it would slip at any moment.
The woman's face was blocked by her long black hair, and Jiang Jinyue couldn't see her face, but just hearing the curses was creepy.
This is Lu Qingmian’s dream. It is obvious who the child with his face covered by a pillow on the bed and about to lose his life is.
Jiang Jinyue's heart tightened, his hands and feet were cold, and he didn't care about anything else. He rushed forward suddenly. A strong light emanated from his fingertips. The golden light had never been so dazzling. Jiang Jinyue grabbed the woman's shoulders tightly and pushed her away.
After being pushed away, the woman disappeared like a puff of black smoke.
On the bed, the child lay quietly, the pillow still pressing on his face.
Jiang Jinyue immediately threw away the pillow and saw a little face that had turned purple from suffocation. The child's eyes were wide open, looking blankly ahead, but fortunately there was still a faint breath coming from the tip of his nose.
"Lu Qingmian?" Jiang Jinyue's heart was almost in knots.
Hearing Jiang Jinyue's call, the child's empty eyes slowly moved and looked at Jiang Jinyue, "Who are you?"
Those eyes were dark and lifeless, even more indifferent and terrifying than Lu Qingmian's when he grew up.
Jiang Jinyue leaned over and gently held little Lu Qingmian in his arms, even stretching the wings behind him as far as possible, trying to wrap Lu Qingmian in him.
"Lu Qingmian, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here."
Little Lu Qingmian pressed his cheek against Jiang Jinyue's warm chest, his eyes reflecting Jiang Jinyue's wings shining with golden light. He slowly stretched out his hand and touched Jiang Jinyue's wings hesitantly.
"Are you concerned about me?" His voice lacked any childish innocence and was icy cold.
Jiang Jinyue didn't care about these things. He was terrified and could only hug Lu Qingmian's small body with all his strength, patting his thin back with both hands: "Yes, I care about you, I care about you very much."
Little Lu Qingmian raised his head from Jiang Jinyue's arms, wanting to look at Jiang Jinyue's face, as if he wanted to see the hypocrisy on Jiang Jinyue's face.
Jiang Jinyue lowered his head, placed his hands on little Lu Qingmian's shoulders, and said seriously, "Lu Qingmian, next time you must struggle with all your might, understand?"
Little Lu Qingmian tilted his head, his hollow eyes revealing a hint of confusion: "Are you afraid of my death? Why?"
Jiang Jinyue felt terribly distressed. He gently smoothed the strands of hair on little Lu Qingmian's forehead, made him look into his eyes, and spoke slowly, "Lu Qingmian, I care about you very much. I'm afraid you'll die. I hope you're alive and well."
"Don't be afraid. I can't change the past, but at least I'll be with you tonight and we'll watch the sunrise together."
Jiang Jinyue went to bed and lay next to Xiao Lu Qingmian, hugging him tightly and passing her warmth to him.
Little Lu Qingmian was very quiet, neither struggling nor speaking.
Time passed minute by minute, until Jiang Jinyue felt more and more tired, and he knew it was time for him to go.
Before leaving, he lowered his head, gently touched his forehead to Lu Qingmian's, and whispered, "You must work hard to grow up. I will wait for you in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light and shadow in front of Jiang Jinyue's eyes changed, and he reappeared in the small living room of the rental house, with a ticking clock in front of him.
The small living room was immersed in dim light, and the morning sun had risen outside the window.
Upstairs, 1303.
Lu Qingmian suddenly jumped up from the bed. The room was pitch black. He staggered to the window and opened the curtains forcefully. The morning light instantly illuminated the room and covered his whole body.
The sunlight stung his eyes, but Lu Qingmian still forced his eyes open wide and looked at the rising sun in front of him.
After experiencing two dreams in one night, Jiang Jinyue was exhausted. He walked to the chair by the window and sat down, basking in the morning sun. The six wings behind him flashed with golden light, slowly folded up and hid.
Jiang Jinyue was deeply touched by Tang Zebin’s incident. He took out his mobile phone, edited a text message and sent it out.
At this time, Wang Xiaoya, who was far away in Ze County, was busy in a small supermarket.
She put down a heavy box, took out her cell phone, and opened the newly received text message.
Jiang Jinyue: Mom, thank you for your hard work.
Wang Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the cramped supermarket. The sun was rising outside the door.
"It's the sun."
