Chapter 183 Sleeping Pills He didn't take good care of his rose.
【The ? ? nightmare】.
Yun Fuyu stood in front of Xie Huaiyan.
"I can't sleep."
If it's just a dream, it doesn't matter.
But the biggest problem is the loss of control of mental power in nightmares.
Yun Fuyu wanted to move in with his teammates, so he had to completely suppress his unconscious loss of control before moving.
Xie Huaiyan patted Yun Fuyu's back and gently guided him to lie down on the examination chair.
Through the hot towel, Xie Huaiyan's fingers evenly massaged Yun Fuyu's stiff shoulders and neck.
Xie Huaiyan's massage technique is quite professional, as if he had learned it specially.
With this press, a sore and numbing feeling spread along Yun Fuyu's scalp.
Move your fingers to the slightly wrinkled area between your eyebrows and gently rub it.
"Don't frown."
Yun Fuyu slowly relaxed and whispered, "The restraint ring isn't working."
Xie Huaiyan looked calm, having already expected this outcome.
"Yeah. Take your time. There's no need to rush."
A mere restriction ring can at most trap Yun Fuyu when he is awake, how can it possibly prevent the "nightmare"?
Yun Fuyu lifted the towel and opened her long, wet eyelashes.
There was a hint of darkness under his eyes, but his distinct black and white eyes still maintained a calmness.
"I asked other doctors, and they said I could take some sleeping pills."
Xie Huaiyan laughed and tapped Yun Fuyu's forehead with his knuckles.
"Ask someone else behind my back?"
Yun Fuyu wrinkled his nose and hummed softly.
"You knew it, why didn't you tell me?"
Xie Huaiyan slowly put the warm towel back over his eyes.
"Because I'm your brother. Medications always have some bad side effects. I don't want you to take them unless absolutely necessary."
From the perspective of other doctors, 3S psychics have extraordinary recovery abilities, so why should they consider side effects?
But caring too much will lead to confusion.
Even for the indifferent Xie Huaiyan, these four words were like a curse, restricting his behavior.
Yun Fuyu obviously didn't want to obey.
“…Let me try first.”
Yun Fuyu was already very exhausted.
During the gentle massage, he finally relaxed and fell asleep.
After a while, Xie Huaiyan asked softly:
"Is moving in with a friend really that important?"
Yun Fuyu was half asleep and half awake and did not answer, but Xie Huaiyan knew his answer clearly.
important.
For Yun Fuyu, friends are very important.
For many years, Yun Fuyu had no one who could truly be called a friend.
For a child who lacks friends, it is of course important to take friends seriously when they finally make them.
So, in order to move in with her friends, Yun Fuyu is willing to try all possible options.
——————
Adrien came out of the shower, smelling of damp mint.
He sat in Yun Fuyu's living room, his emerald eyes following Yun Fuyu, like a big dog squatting outside the bedroom guarding its master dutifully.
Ever since he discovered that Yun Fuyu was having a nightmare, Adrian insisted on staying in Yun Fuyu's living room overnight.
Yun Fuyu was sleeping in the bedroom, so he lay on the sofa in the living room, and Heilang lay down next to the door of Yun Fuyu's room, listening to any movement anytime and anywhere.
This is how I spent several days.
Adrian and Black Wolf have sharp ears.
Every time Yun Fuyu had a nightmare, Adrian, who was guarding outside, would notice it after a few minutes and wake Yun Fuyu up by knocking on the door or scratching the door like a black wolf.
It is still the same today.
Yun Fuyu walked barefoot on the carpet from the study to the bedroom, and then to the shelf by the bedroom window.
Adrian moved his position and followed Yun Fuyu with his eyes.
Yun Fuyu raised her head and took a red and yellow medicine bottle from the shelf.
He poured a pill from the bottle and held the glass in his other hand, about to pinch the pill and put it into his mouth.
Adrian looked at the familiar color scheme of the medicine bottle, his eyebrows jumped, and the strings in his mind suddenly tightened.
The mental power instantly tightly wrapped around Yun Fuyu's hand.
Adrian rushed forward in two or three steps and decisively grabbed the medicine bottle.
"What's this?"
Yun Fuyu staggered and almost spilled the water in the glass onto the carpet.
"Sleeping pills."
Adrian frowned and even snatched the pill from Yun Fuyu's hand, holding it in his own hand, as if he was afraid that Yun Fuyu would eat something careless.
“…Let me see.”
Yun Fuyu looked confused and reached out to grab the medicine bottle back.
“......?”
Adrian raised the hand holding the medicine bottle and held Yun Fuyu's wrist with the other hand.
Adrian's face grew worse as he read the instructions for the medicine, until he looked so gloomy as if he was going to kill someone.
The black wolf spirit leaped out uncontrollably.
Its partner was under an unknown threat, and it walked around Yun Fuyu in extreme anxiety, growling in its throat, trying to protect Yun Fuyu with its huge body and tail.
Yun Fuyu was tripped several times by the black wolf's tail, frowned, and instinctively realized that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
He bought the medicine through the fake identity of the Fenrir family, so there is no possibility of any problem with the medicine itself.
But Adrian looked extremely serious.
The green eyes were hidden in the shadow of the deep brow bone, as cold as an ice field cut by the wind. His eyes were fixed on the medicine bottle, as if there was an extremely dangerous enemy hidden in the bottle.
He seemed to be possessed, and the veins in the hand that was tightly gripping the medicine bottle were bulging.
The medicine bottle was deformed by being gripped so hard that it made a squeaking sound.
Adrien clenched his teeth and moved the muscles on the side of his face.
"Xie Huaiyan gave it to you?"
Without waiting for Yun Fuyu to answer, Adrian continued, as if talking to himself:
"Let's find another doctor and don't listen to him."
Adrien took a few deep breaths to hide the irritation in his expression.
Black Wolf's emotions became more and more obvious, and he became more and more anxious.
Heilang stopped Yun Fuyu from grabbing the medicine bottle and even blocked Yun Fuyu's view of the medicine bottle. He was eager to use his kiss to nudge Yun Fuyu's waist and abdomen, trying to push him to the bed to rest.
Yun Fuyu: "Wait...don't push me! The medicine should be fine, right?"
This is a special medicine that can calm the fluctuations of mental power. Taking one pill before going to bed every day can ensure that Yun Fuyu falls into a deep sleep.
Yun Fuyu read the instructions, which listed side effects one after another, such as slowed reaction, memory loss, and damage to the mental realm due to long-term use.
All these things are shocking and scary to watch.
However, all sleeping pills on the market for psychics have similar side effects.
They all work on the same principle, which is to reduce the patient's mental activity.
It's like covering the five senses of a psychic with a black cloth, so that they are not disturbed by the outside world.
However, as long as you follow the doctor's advice and stop taking the medicine within two months, there should be no major problems.
Adrian put the hand holding the medicine bottle behind his back, as if he was not going to return it to Yun Fuyu.
"You're not at the stage where you need to take medicine yet. Let me ask another doctor first."
Yun Fuyu frowned slightly.
"Haven't you consulted other doctors before? Nothing else works. Give me the medicine."
Adrian's expression was frozen.
"You can't eat it. ...You'll become dumber if you eat it."
As if to comment on the overly serious tone, he added another half sentence.
The atmosphere did not ease.
Yun Fuyu looked at Adrian quietly.
"I asked the doctor, and he said that the side effects of the drug are related to the dosage and the strength of the mental strength. So far, no 3S-level has taken this drug, but based on the data, I most likely won't be affected by the side effects."
Adrian refused without hesitation.
"No. What if Xie Huaiyan is lying to you? If he made you take this medicine just to destroy your spiritual realm—"
Yun Fuyu patted the black wolf's head.
"Stop. You're overreacting."
He was the one who took the medicine, but it was Adrian who was stressed.
...Yes, it's stress.
Yun Fuyu finally found a suitable adjective to describe Adrian's current state.
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Adrian looked away first.
"I'll take this bottle of medicine. Don't buy it secretly on your own. Think of other options first. As for moving to Area A, you can put it on hold for now."
Yun Fuyu suddenly looked up when he heard this, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his tone suddenly became cold.
"Don't order me around. This is my own business."
The thing that Yun Fuyu can't accept the most is being controlled by others.
Adrian immediately explained: "I'm not telling you not to move, but you have to find a way to stop having nightmares first!"
The topic returned to the starting point.
Yun Fuyu's voice was filled with anger:
"I've made it very clear. Isn't taking medicine the solution? The doctor said it's okay. Why on earth are you stopping me?"
Yun Fuyu wanted to move out early, so she took the medicine in a hurry.
Adrian didn't want Yun Fuyu to take the medicine, so he also blocked Yun Fuyu's moving process.
Adrian's tone was also filled with anger, but his anger was directed at Xie Huaiyan.
"You haven't seen the people who are affected by the side effects! Do you know what they are like?"
Yun Fuyu: "I've already told you to try it first. If it doesn't work, just stop taking the medicine!"
Adrian: "Isn't it obvious whether you will stop taking the medicine or endure it yourself?"
Yun Fuyu has too many criminal records, he is not someone who will honestly follow the doctor's advice!
Now, Yun Fuyu can ignore his health just to move in with his teammates. Once he moves out from under Adrian's nose, who will be able to keep an eye on him?
Thinking of this, Adrian became even more anxious.
"Do your friends have to move there now? Can't they wait a little longer?!"
Yun Fuyu was angry: "I want to move in with them, I don't want to wait!"
Adrian: "There are other guest rooms in the guildhall. I asked them to move here—"
Yun Fuyu interrupted him: "That's different!"
He had trouble sleeping to begin with, and his mood swings were more pronounced than usual, his chest heaving up and down, and his eyes slightly red.
Adrian's anger was half extinguished, leaving only a wisp of smoke.
Anger was frozen on his face, and he was worried and helpless. He still frowned.
"Why is it different?"
What's the difference?
Yun Fuyu pursed her lips and said nothing.
He turned his face away and raised his hands uncomfortably to hide his expression, but Adrian still caught the redness at the corners of his eyes.
The redness spread along the eye sockets, like a drop of dew about to fall on the tip of a flower petal.
Adrien looked at those eyes that were about to cry and suddenly understood.
Yun Fuyu felt insecure, uneasy, afraid, dependent on others, bound by her situation and strength, and felt all the unpleasant experiences of the past, and felt—
I feel like...this isn't a place where I can cry without worry.
Why would Yun Fuyu need to take this kind of medicine?
…He’s still so young.
So strong, so determined, so intelligent, so talented.
Even if there is stress, it should never be to the point where this medication is needed.
Ke Yun Fu Yu seemed about to cry.
It's not that strength and fragility can't exist at the same time, but Adrian is used to abandoning the latter and often can't get used to it, like a clumsy person taking care of flowers, moving the flowers out of the greenhouse but unable to control the wind, frost, rain and dew.
It seemed like he didn't take good care of his roses.
Adrian's Adam's apple rolled.
"...I'm sorry. I don't mean to argue with you. But this medicine is not good for your health. Don't take it, okay?"
Her black hair fell on the side of her face, concealing Yun Fuyu's expression.
Yun Fuyu did not answer.
He lowered his head and walked around the black wolf that was whimpering in its throat, his pace getting faster and faster, trying to escape from this place.
Just at the door, he was suddenly stopped by Adrian's arm and his head hit Adrian's shoulder.
"Don't go."
Adrian pinched the pill that Yun Fuyu had almost swallowed with his fingertips and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.
Then he snatched the glass of water from Yun Fuyu's hand, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, his Adam's apple rolling.
Adrian's action was too sudden.
By the time Yun Fuyu reacted, the medicine had already fallen into his stomach.
Yun Fuyu stood there in a daze.
"You...wait a minute, you—"
A few seconds later, Yun Fuyu walked forward and tried to pry open Adrian's mouth, just like prying open the mouth of some canine that eats indiscriminately.
Adrian let the slender white fingers pinch his cheekbones and jaw, and cooperated by opening his mouth, showing his empty mouth, indicating that he had swallowed.
"I'm level 3S, I can conduct drug testing. Don't ask Xie Huaiyan for more drugs until I finish my one-month medication period."
No 3S-level person had ever taken this kind of medicine before, so Adrian was worried and decided to try it himself.
The redness in Yun Fuyu's eyes had not yet faded. She stared blankly at his canine teeth, then looked at the pair of green eyes, and slowly withdrew her hand.
Adrien still frowned, but his voice was much softer.
"It's best not to take the medicine. I'll be guarding the door. Call me if you need anything."
Nightmares are nothing to be afraid of.
Even if the main island of the military academy turned into a polluted area overnight and mutants crawled up layer by layer from the depths of the sea, Adrian could still take Yun Fuyu out and take Yun Fuyu's friends who he couldn't let go with him.
He was guarding outside the door, so Yun Fuyu didn't have to be afraid.
————————
"Adrien…come here, Adrien."
The black-haired, green-eyed boy jumped down from the wall and ran quickly towards his mother.
The evening breeze is cool.
The afterglow of the setting sun was pale yellow, shining on the shiny wooden corridor.
Adrian sat on the porch next to his mother.
The black wolf spirit leaped out like a puppy and pounced onto its mother's legs.
After sitting down, they seemed to have no idea what to say.
The mother spoke slowly, breaking the silence.
"Syaoran-san. What did you learn today?"
Adrian continued talking about this topic.
"I went to the training ground today. Last week, there was an S-rank psychic who laughed at me, and today I defeated him."
"Mockery" is actually an innuendo.
They didn't dare laugh at Adrian to his face, but they would secretly talk about the fall of the Zong family and Adrian's mother who was under house arrest.
So Adrian beat the man until his face was bloody and forced him to swallow his broken teeth.
It was not easy to defeat an adult S-class psychic, and Adrian himself was seriously injured.
Before coming here, he had just crawled out of the medical cabin.
His mother patted his head.
"Well done. If someone says something bad about you, just fight back. Silence only makes them bully you more."
Adrien nodded.
"I know."
The dusk gradually darkens, and the last ray of sunlight in the sky is about to disappear.
As if to supplement what she had just said, my mother spoke a lot, which was unusual for her, and her tone was gentle.
"However, you should only use violence against an enemy. If it's someone you like, you should treat them well and not use violence to solve the problem.
Some people are naturally gentle, but that doesn't mean they are weak.
Strength and weakness are not opposites...When you meet someone you like, you can also be weak in front of him."
After the fall of the clan, his mother rarely had such long conversations with him.
The drugs dulled her thinking, impaired her memory, and made her emotions always flat, as if a black veil had covered her spiritual realm.
She wasn't like this before.
Mother: "Let me ask you a question. What would you do if the person you like doesn't like you back?"
Adrien's green eyes looked up at the sky.
"Someone else likes it, or no one likes it."
Mother smiled softly.
"Sometimes you can't control it. If you've already fallen in love and can't control your feelings, what should you do then?"
Adrian: “…”
Do I have to like someone?
Adrian sat on the porch and kicked the pebbles in the yard.
"Then bribe him."
Give him what he wants and help him do what he wants.
This logic applies to friends and subordinates.
Although Adrian had never liked anyone and didn't know why his mother suddenly asked this question, he felt that the same logic should apply to people he liked.
As if she could read his mind, his mother slowly expressed his thoughts.
"And then use the benefits to keep him, huh?"
Adrian wasn't stupid, and retorted, "Interpersonal relationships can't be summarized by interests."
For example, his friends helped him protect this small courtyard, not for profit.
Mother: "But he just wants to leave you, what should I do?"
Adrian was a little depressed.
“Why are all the developments in this direction bad?”
Mother: "If. If it's a good direction, everything will go smoothly and you won't have to think about these problems."
Mother: "Will you let him go?"
Adrien said nothing.
He knew what his mother meant.
The mother wanted to leave, but the father wouldn't let her and insisted that she stay.
But even if they stayed, they would never meet each other.
The mother didn't want Adrian to follow in the footsteps of the head of the Fenrir family, and didn't want her child to grow up to be a cold-blooded animal who only cares about interests.
Therefore, for the sake of the illusory "Adrian's lover" in the future who may not even exist, she wanted to change Adrian's decision in advance in favor of that person to prevent the child from being harmed.
It's like using a small wooden stick to straighten a sapling and make it grow into an upright tree.
Provide your loved one with comfortable shade, not blocking all the light or even blocking the path.
Adrian: "You can teach me then."
Mother smiled.
"I'm afraid that by then, you won't want to tell me. Sometimes, liking someone is a very private matter. Maybe you want to decide the direction yourself instead of asking me."
Adrian: “…”
Adrian: "So what do we do?"
Bribery and flattery don't work. It's too troublesome to like someone. It's better not to like anyone.
The mother reached out and touched his head, and also touched the head of the black wolf lying on her legs.
"To love someone doesn't mean you have to get him."
Adrien: "What if I become the strongest person?"
Becoming the strongest person can change many things, such as kicking his father away, stopping the Seven Towers Council, protecting the clan, and no one will dare to bother him anymore.
If one day, he can even do such a difficult thing... then, getting the love of the person you like can't be more difficult than this.
His mother ruthlessly changed his thinking:
"It's not okay to become the strongest person. This is love, not a fight."
Adrian: “…”
I can barely understand it logically, but I can't experience it at all.
Not far away, the birds on the top of the black castle flew up with a roar.
Adrien's green eyes looked there, and he first remembered his mother's words.
"Yes, I remember that."
Adrian also hated his biological father.
If his spirit body had not awakened and turned into a black wolf, he should have been a member of the Zong family.
Therefore, Adrian will remember his mother's advice carefully.
Be sincere to your friends, trust your partners, protect the weak, and shoulder the responsibilities of the 3S level.
Don't be like his father and hurt your partner in the name of love.
There is another one, which is what Adrian himself wants to do.
We must find out the truth about the Zong family and redress the injustice done to those who have been slandered.
My mother's family and friends are no longer around, so she often has nightmares.
She used to be a powerful psychic, but being powerful doesn't mean being able to accept anything.
For example, she could not accept the current situation, and even more so, she could not accept her own powerlessness.
So she needs some medicine to make her dreams less scary.
The medicine bottle with red and yellow patches was in Adrian's pocket.
It's time for mother to take her medicine.
Adrian accompanied his mother to finish dinner, and half an hour after the meal, he carefully handed her a pill.
He watched his mother take the medicine and chatted with her.
After an hour, the medicine is undoubtedly digested and cannot be stored for other uses.
Only then did Adrian feel relieved.
His mother talked a lot today, and Adrian felt a little flustered.
But he has always been a good companion to his mother and has been very alert.
There will be no problem.
This drug is produced in the R&D center of Yongyao Tower and is a prescription drug with extremely strict control.
Initially, it was used to treat psychics experiencing symptoms of post-war anxiety.
There are many warriors with strong mental strength. They have witnessed the death of their companions, seen the ruthlessness of the contaminated area and the powerlessness of mankind, and thus developed mental problems.
Under the care of counselors and priests, some will return to the battlefield.
Some people retire forever and have to rely on drugs to form a safe barrier to block out painful nightmares.
Otherwise, long-term insomnia can drive people crazy.
certainly......
In addition to battlefields, psychics who develop PTSD due to other reasons can also take this drug.
The higher the level of mental strength, the faster the drug is metabolized and the harder it is for the drug to take effect.
The only medicine that can help my mother sleep well is this one with serious side effects.
It's basically drinking poison to quench thirst and fighting poison with poison.
Adrian hated the medicine and kept trying to find ways to cheer his mother up.
"Good night, Mom."
Adrian said goodnight as usual, hugged his mother, and ran back to his room.
......
But, in the evening, the sun rises again.
In the small wooden courtyard, accompanied by a raging heat wave.
Dead sun.
No one knows how she did it.
But her will remained unwavering, and the sun and fire were merely rituals behind her.
The flames dispelled the gloomy rain and fog that shrouded Blackcliff Castle all year round.
Even though Adrian rushed into the room in time, he couldn't stop the ending.
