Little Sweethearts 05
The world before my eyes became colorful, but the people in the dream did not have complete consciousness.
Jiang Qixin didn't notice that the scene in front of him had changed drastically.
Xu Cheng'an hugged her very tightly. Jiang Qixin snorted softly and used a little force to push him away. When Xu Cheng'an looked at her helplessly, her slender fingertips stroked his brow.
"Your eyelashes are so long." She suddenly said, and the scene in front of her eyes became clear again from hazy.
"Can you see my eyes clearly?" Xu Cheng'an put his hand on the back of her hand and gently twisted one of her finger bones with his fingertips.
Jiang Qixin laughed, thinking Xu Chengan was acting strangely today. "Why can't you see clearly?"
The faces in dreams usually lacked distinct facial features. The deity in charge of dreams had once told him this.
She squatted on the ground and picked up all the building blocks and put them in a box. "I want to build blocks now. It seems like I haven't done it for a long time." She also threw the paper instruction manual into the box.
"Okay, I'll fight with you." Xu Cheng'an had entered many of her dreams, and he seemed to have seen all kinds of scenes in her dreams.
Sometimes the dreams were still about her middle school days, and occasionally there were scenes from her college days. Sometimes she was just spending a quiet day at home, sometimes she was on a sailing adventure, and sometimes she was even participating in a war to defend her country.
Bizarre and strange, weird and strange.
Jiang Qixin is her own dream maker, so even if Xu Chengan has the ability to change the scenes in the dream, the initial scene and ending of the dream are all created by Jiang Qixin herself.
Unlike Jiang Qixin, Xu Chengan was the one who entered her dream from the outside world. He could see her face clearly, as well as the scenes in her dream.
He walked to Jiang Qixin's side, picked up the instruction manual that she couldn't read clearly, and understood the general assembly rules and patterns of the building blocks.
Their hands fell into the same frame and began to build the dream castle that belonged to her Barbie doll.
The back of the hand or the fingertips occasionally touched each other, but Jiang Qixin seemed to be concentrating on assembling the building blocks and did not pay much attention to Xu Chengan who was sticking to him.
Jiang Qixin can only see Xu Cheng'an in her dreams, so he has to seize every opportunity to attract her attention. What's more, Xu Cheng'an is jealous of others now, and a few kisses won't coax him into submission.
"Hey, why doesn't this seem to fit together?" Jiang Qixin muttered to himself.
"It's put together here." Xu Cheng'an walked around behind her, held her hand with his palm and taught her how to put the building blocks in her hand where they should be.
Xu Cheng'an's chest seemed to be pressed against her back. She had lost some weight recently. In her dream, she was wearing her most common pajamas, and her buttocks were pressed against his side.
His skin felt the touch of her skin-wrapped bones.
Xu Cheng'an was so close to her that Jiang Qixin subconsciously tilted her head slightly to glance at his face out of the corner of her eye. As he spoke, his warm breath sprayed on her neck, like a feather caressing her neck, tickling her a little.
"Yeah." She lowered her head and responded, following Xu Cheng'an's movements to put the building blocks in her hand together.
The hand on her left shoulder slowly moved down until it touched her waist. Jiang Qixin reached out and held Xu Chengan's big hand, "Don't touch me."
"I didn't touch you randomly, I just wanted to hug you." He said in a low voice, his tone a little depressed and aggrieved, but also a little reluctant.
Xu Chengan said this and put his head on her shoulder again. He was much taller than her, so he had to bend down to put his head on her.
"You're so weird today." Jiang Qixin smiled, leaned close to him with evil intentions, and called him brother.
"elder brother."
Her cry obviously made Xu Cheng'an a little overwhelmed. He tilted his head and pressed his warm and soft lips against her neck.
"Hmm..." She felt a little sore and itchy because of his kiss that was too close, but out of her body's instinctive love, Jiang Qixin liked physical contact with Xu Cheng'an, and she did not refuse his kiss.
Jiang Qixin turned to face Xu Chengan, putting her arms around his waist. She knew that his waist was very thin and strong.
Xu Cheng'an raised his head which was buried in her neck, his eyes wandering on her lips for a few seconds. Before he could make the next move, Jiang Qixin raised one hand, grabbed his ear, pulled his face close to hers, and lightly stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the lips.
Maybe because he had been kissing the skin on the side of her neck, her lips looked particularly rosy.
In the quiet toy house, only the heavy breathing of the two of them could be heard, and their scattered sucking and kissing filled the house with warmth.
Jiang Qixin felt a little light-headed by such an intimate gesture, and she almost wanted to fall asleep with Xu Cheng'an as her pillow. She simply leaned all her weight on him.
Xu Cheng'an knew her habit, so he held her tightly with both hands.
The breathing sounds were sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and this seemed to be a world that belonged only to them, until a noisy and harsh ringing sound suddenly came from Jiang Qixin's ears.
Her eyelids flew open, and all she saw was the dazzling light and the white ceiling.
With the ringing of a ringtone in her ears that disturbed her sweet dreams, Jiang Qixin sat up weakly and touched her head. Was the movie so boring that she fell asleep?
Jiang Qixin subconsciously touched her lips and felt as if they were burning.
Her throat was so dry that it felt uncomfortable. Jiang Qixin tilted her head back and took a few big gulps of hot water. When she finally regained consciousness, she realized that she had indeed fallen asleep in the living room, and she even had a dream.
When Jiang Qixin tried to recall the content of the dream, her solar plexus began to swell and ache.
She didn't know when her cell phone fell to the ground, and the ringtone was still ringing.
She didn't know how long she slept, but this kind of sleep that she fell asleep unconsciously at night due to sleepiness always made her extremely tired. Jiang Qi softened her body and touched the mobile phone that fell on the carpet.
Jiang Qixin supported herself on the sofa and struggled to sit up again. She looked down at the unfamiliar number, hesitated a little but still answered it. Until she heard the voice of the advertising customer service on the other end of the phone, Jiang Qixin silently hung up the phone again.
White words on a black background kept scrolling on the screen. It seemed that the movie was over. Jiang Qixin sat on the sofa and stretched. He felt that he had lived another day and another boring day had passed.
She yawned and turned off the projector. Her alarm clock still rang with sleepiness, and she returned to her room with her phone.
Until he was lying in bed, Jiang Qixin's mind seemed to keep telling him to remember the dream he had just had. Humans have not yet fully understood the mechanism of dreams and their hidden meanings, but in Jiang Qixin's cognition, dreams are more or less feedback of his own consciousness.
However, even she herself knew that most of her dreams were bizarre and she couldn't recall the specific scenes of the dreams no matter how hard she tried. It was just that when she closed her eyes, she always felt a strange feeling around her body.
She raised her hand and touched her lips again, and her heartbeat seemed to speed up.
The cold wind blew to Jiang Qixin, and she wrapped herself in the quilt.
Did I dream about a love story? Jiang Qixin thought for the first time. She rubbed her hands, which were slightly cool from the air conditioning, and covered her cheeks with them. The temperature on her face was even warmer than her palms. "How could I dream about this?"
Xu Cheng'an stood by the bed and watched her talking to herself before falling asleep. She still didn't remember him appearing in her dream, but Jiang Qixin seemed to have begun to remember the dream.
It was a rare occasion for him to control his expression. He looked at her and smiled silently. It would be soon. He would try harder.
Jiang Qixin traced her lips along the lines and suddenly remembered that Xu Chengan's parents were coming to visit her tomorrow. She shouldn't dwell on the dream. Even if she remembered it, she couldn't win a million-dollar lottery just by dreaming.
People should daydream less.
She put her hands back into the quilt and fell asleep to the sound of her heartbeat.
The next morning she was not woken up by the alarm clock, but by the noise in the living room. She sat up and looked at the time on her phone and was instantly awakened.
She clearly remembered to set the alarm clock today, but it was already ten o'clock. She walked out of the living room with messy hair.
She blinked and looked at the two people who were busy with their work, "Aunt Ye, Uncle Xu."
Ye Manyun raised her head, her eyes and eyebrows, which were very similar to Xu Chengan's, curved into a smile. "Sister, you're awake! Did we wake you up?"
Jiang Qixin shook her head. "No, no, I overslept today."
"Don't worry, you can continue sleeping if you feel sleepy. Your uncle and aunt will make you lunch. You can bring whatever you want to eat."
She pouted and suddenly felt a little sore in her eyes.
Ye Manyun and Xu Kaicheng are Xu Cheng'an's biological parents, and also her nominal adoptive parents. She and Xu Cheng'an have known each other for a long time.
However, she only came to live with them when she was ten years old. That year, her parents died in an accident, and there were no close blood relatives in the family. Her age was quite awkward, not too young but also unable to grow up independently.
At that time, the adoption procedures were very complicated and the requirements were extremely strict. Even Uncle Xu, a colleague and fellow villager of her parents, could not legally adopt her.
So legally they have no relationship so far, but in reality she has relied on the Xu family for food, clothing, housing and transportation since she was ten years old. Since she has been used to calling them Aunt Ye and Uncle Xu since she was a child, Jiang Qixin has never changed her way of saying it.
However, they were responsible for all matters related to parents since she was a child, and even the parent-teacher conferences were held by them. Her and Xu Chengan's parent-teacher conferences were usually staggered. As long as he was free, Xu Chengan would come with his parents to accompany her to the parent-teacher conference.
People in their hometown like to call their younger daughter "sister", so they have always called Jiang Qixin that.
As for money, Xu Cheng'an's parents did not ask for anything. Her parents' inheritance was handed over to her for full management since she came of age.
They are all very kind, and Xu Cheng'an probably inherited this from them.
"Is there anything you want to eat? After lunch, your uncle and I will go out to play. If you are tired, just rest at home. You feel like you have become thinner again." Ye Manyun pinched her arm.
Jiang Qixin nodded, "I want to eat crabs, is that okay?"
"Of course, your uncle is the best at cooking seafood. It happens to be the peak season for crabs recently, and the meat cooked here is the most delicious." Ye Manyun muttered and urged Xu Kaicheng to buy more vegetables.
Their hometown is very close to this city, a coastal city, and it takes about an hour to drive here. They have recently retired and have a leisurely life. Whenever they have time, they come to cook a big meal for Jiang Qixin to nourish her.
When they moved house, their uncle and aunt also came to help, so Jiang Qixin told them the password to the door.
Young people like to be alone, so after Ye Manyun and the others finished lunch with Jiang Qixin, they went to visit the tourist attractions in City A and drove back to their hometown in the evening.
After a brief meeting, they said goodbye. Ye Manyun quietly took out an object from her bag and put it in her hand.
"Auntie, what is this?" Ye Manyun covered the object with her hand, so she couldn't see it clearly.
"This is the amulet that your aunt asked for you. You can carry it with you if it is convenient." Ye Manyun placed the folded amulet paper in her hand in the palm of her hand, and then folded her fingers so that she could hold the amulet tightly.
Jiang Qixin lowered her head, opened her palm, and looked at the amulet silently. She smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll carry it with me. Thank you, Auntie."
"Be happy and don't dwell on the past, sister. We all need to look forward." Ye Manyun patted her head. "At your age, you are the only relative we have left."
"We dare not lose you again."
Jiang Qixin leaned against the door of the room, thinking about what Ye Manyun had said to her.
She lowered her head and smiled helplessly. In her eyes, life could be either light or heavy. She had never thought of giving up on life, but it was just a thought.
But it was really painful to carry out. She was afraid of pain, so she chose to bear the psychological pain rather than the physical pain.
She stuffed the amulet into the phone case, and after a brief bustle in the room, it was another one-man show.
Xu Cheng'an had also secretly visited his parents before this. His parents seemed to have recovered better than Jiang Qixin. Perhaps they still had Jiang Qixin in their hearts, and were not so sad about his death that it affected their normal lives.
Compared to three or four years ago, today's parents seem to look younger.
Everything should be going in the right direction.
Sunday was sunny and the weather and people seemed wonderful.
Because she seemed to have not been out for the past two months, Jiang Qixin made an appointment with Song Jing to go shopping and bought some seasonal clothes and gadgets.
On a whim, she wore a pair of new shoes today. Although the shoes didn't rub her feet, after walking around the streets in them all day, her feet felt like they were no longer her own.
After returning home and taking a shower, Jiang Qixin immediately prepared hot water to soak her feet. Today, she and Song Jing bought some clothes that she really liked. Jiang Qixin was filled with a rare kind of happy fatigue, which made her fall into a contented sleep.
As usual, Xu Cheng'an waited until she fell asleep before lying down beside her. His presence inevitably made Jiang Qixin feel cold. He didn't dare to get too close to her, but he also didn't want to be too far away from her.
He held her in his arms until he fell into Jiang Qixin's dream.
Xu Cheng'an took a closer look at her dream tonight. The scene in the dream was actually her house, and the picture was still hazy and warm.
Perhaps it was because she had been playing an NPC in a horror chamber a while ago, which caused her dreams to be a bit scary during that time. Her life has been relatively relaxed and happy in recent days, so her dreams seem to have become peaceful again recently.
Although each time it ended with a strange, bizarre or even somewhat scary plot, or her dream was suddenly interrupted by physical factors in the real world.
Jiang Qixin was lying on the bed playing with her cell phone, with her legs raised and hanging in the air.
"Are you tired? Are your feet tired?" Xu Cheng'an sat down beside her bed and asked softly.
Jiang Qixin tilted her head and looked at Xu Chengan, "I'm a little tired. I've been walking around all day today."
It turns out that this dream was the same as what happened in reality today, except that Xu Chengan was in the dream but not in reality.
"I'll massage your feet and then soak them for a while, okay?" Xu Cheng'an pinched her shoulders and said softly.
"Okay, my legs are so sore." Jiang Qixin turned over and lay on his legs.
She was wearing the pajamas she had changed into after washing up tonight. She had unbuttoned two of the buttons at some point. Xu Cheng'an reached out and smoothed the fabric on her chest.
He was also wearing pajamas, but the same style as five years ago.
There was a massager in the room, and it was not the first time Xu Cheng'an had given her a massage. He operated it very skillfully, massaging her with the instrument while chatting with her.
She couldn't say a word to people she didn't know well, but when facing Xu Cheng'an, whom she was most familiar with, she could talk about everything.
"Since you like shopping so much, take me with you next time, okay?" Xu Cheng'an asked suddenly after listening to her talk about the interesting things she encountered on the street today.
"Okay." Jiang Qixin looked up at his face, feeling a little strange. In the past, Xu Chengan always accompanied her when she went shopping, so why didn't they go out shopping together today?
"You can't break your promise."
Jiang Jiang, when will you remember our dream and your promise? Xu Chengan frowned, his eyes a little sad.
Jiang Qixin raised his hand and said, "Hook and hang."
Xu Cheng'an smiled, hooked her fingers with his little finger, and pressed the thumbs of both hands together under the force.
"Want to soak your feet? I'll prepare some medicine for you." Xu Cheng'an remembered that there was some medicine she had bought specially in the house, but because she was sometimes too lazy to take it, she would just soak her feet in the most ordinary hot water.
"Yeah." She nodded at Xu Cheng'an.
Not long after, Xu Cheng'an brought the hot water over, pulled Jiang Qixin, who was lying dead on the bed, to sit beside the bed, then he half-knelt beside the bed and reached out to test the water temperature.
"This temperature should be fine." He said softly and held her ankle.
"Hiss." Jiang Qixin suddenly retracted her hand when his hand touched her ankle.
Xu Cheng'an, who was half-squatting beside her, was stunned for a moment, and both of his hands stopped in mid-air.
He and Jiang Qixin had a very close relationship, so close that she wouldn't be shy even when he helped her change clothes. He looked up at her eyes, and saw no shyness in them, only confusion and bewilderment.
Why didn't she let him touch her ankles? Could it be that she no longer wanted to be close to him...
Jiang Qixin was thinking about other things and did not notice the fear and anxiety that flashed in Xu Cheng'an's eyes, nor did she guess the complicated thoughts that emerged in Xu Cheng'an's mind.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Jiang Qixin asked directly. She frowned and looked down at his hands. The touch of his hands was really strange. His body temperature was normal when he just gave her a massage.
In Jiang Qixin's unclear memory, his hands were always warm.
Just like his whole person, always so gentle, like the bright sunshine in early spring, warm and genial.
