He had heard his father mention it that morning, and the matter had been on his mind ever since, but he hadn't found a suitable time to ask about it.
Now that the father has passed away and the son is asleep, I finally have the chance to get to the bottom of things.
Su Yue blinked her bright eyes, moved her body slightly closer, and naturally took Fu Shen's arm. "Didn't you say that dreams shouldn't be taken seriously? Why are you still so serious about it? Besides, I deliberately told Dad that back then."
Fu Shen: "You told him to hold on until next year, how can I not take it to heart?"
He paused, then said, "Yueyue."
Su Yue raised her head, her clear eyes meeting his: "Hmm?"
Fu Shen lowered his head slightly to meet Su Yue's gaze, looking intently into her eyes. "The dream was real, wasn't it?"
"What happened between you and me really happened; it wasn't just a dream, as you say."
Su Yue turned her head away in a fluster, forcing herself to remain calm, and said, "How could it be true? I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Shen suddenly cupped Su Yue's cheeks gently in his hands, his movements both tender and firm.
Su Yue was startled by this sudden action and gently slapped his arm. "What are you doing? You scared me. Let go of me."
Fu Shen didn't let go, but said in a low voice, "I know it's true. When you first told me that reality and dreams overlapped, I started to have doubts. But our experiences were so tragic that I didn't want to admit that we had gone through this. I kept telling myself that this was reality and dreams were just illusions. But there were too many similar things that made me have to think about it carefully. Until today, when I heard my dad say that you told him to hold on until next year, I was sure that what you said was true."
"You know what? I've always believed in materialism, but I never expected to witness something so amazing: a person dies and can go back to the turning point in the past."
"If I could do it all over again, I would still drink the egg soup made by Jianghuai Dongzhu. Luckily, you came back with your memories just before it happened."
"Actually, you didn't have to come to me in person. You could have just notified the village secretary, but you still came. After you came, you even paired Jiang Huaidong and Su Xiaomei up, allowing me to escape unscathed from that turmoil..."
As Su Yue listened, her eyes gradually blurred with tears, and hot tears fell uncontrollably, one drop after another.
This "dream," which only she remembers, is one in which she has no one to confide her anguish and loneliness.
Now Fu Shen can guess the truth, but there are still some things she dares not say, for fear that he cannot bear it.
Su Yue never expected that Huo Xueshen would repeat what she had said to Fu Shen in front of him.
Fu Shen said in a low, hoarse voice, "Why are you crying? The one who should be crying is Jiang Huaidong. We all survived, but his dream of becoming a division commander has been shattered."
As he spoke, he gently wiped away Su Yue's tears.
Su Yue slapped his hand away and stubbornly said, "I didn't cry. Sand got in my eyes and it hurts."
Where did the sand in the room come from?
Fu Shen didn't argue with her and went along with her words: "Yes, Yueyue didn't cry."
Su Yue heard the laughter in his words and became somewhat embarrassed and angry. As punishment, she reached out and gently twisted the soft flesh on his waist.
Fu Shen gasped in pain. Su Yue was taken aback and asked with concern, "Does it hurt that much? I only twisted it slightly."
Fu Shen: "Yueyue, after drinking the water in the space, our strength is different from that of ordinary people. The 'gentle' you mentioned is not the same as the 'gentle' you used to make."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue felt somewhat guilty and gently stroked the spot where he had twisted his ankle, trying to ease his pain.
Fu Shen's lips curled up into a triumphant smile: "Yueyue, you haven't answered my question yet."
Su Yue rolled her eyes at him, "What you said is all correct, what else is there to answer?"
Fu Shen: "My dad's, I don't know, you never told me about him before."
Su Yuewei stepped out of Fu Shen's embrace, raised her head, looked at him and said, "We are all living well now, there is no need to bring up the past. We just need to wait for the day when Jiang Huaidong comes to his doom."
