"Now that the name of the cosmetics has been decided, shall we go back and rest?" Daqing asked tentatively.
After finishing discussing the factory matters, there was nothing else to do. He was thinking of going back to his room to keep Yangmei company.
In the days to come, he will be busy again and won't have much time to spend with his family, so he needs to make the most of his time.
"Let's go back and go to sleep." Wang Daming also stood up. He had taken a nap in the afternoon and wasn't sleepy now.
But I could tell that Daqing wanted to go back, so I went along with it and let him go back.
"Lili, Lili..." Seeing that Song Lili didn't react and was still staring blankly into the distance, Wang Daming nudged her. "What are you thinking about? Let's go back."
"Huh? Oh, go back now, it's alright." Song Lili was still in a daze, but she waved her hand.
Her mind wasn't on the conversation, and her attention wasn't on Wang Daming either.
"Aren't you going back?" Wang Daming didn't notice anything amiss with Song Lili, but he had some questions.
"You'll probably be busy in a few days, aren't you going to spend some time with your partner?" Why not seize the opportunity?
"You guys go back first. I'll sit for a while before I go back."
Song Lili's mind was still filled with the turmoil from before; she hadn't calmed down and just wanted to be alone.
"Alright, we'll be going now." Wang Daming turned and left with a flourish, casually pulling Daqing, who was still puzzled, along with him.
Why does Lili seem a little different?
He wanted to take another look, but Daqing pulled him so hard he stumbled. Well, he lost all interest and had no choice but to leave.
"Can you slow down a bit? What if you fall?" Daqing sped up to avoid an embarrassing fall, and said to Daming with some dissatisfaction.
"So what if I fell? It's not a big deal," Da Ming said nonchalantly, thinking to himself, "How easy is it to fall down?"
The two of them left, pulling and tugging at each other, and no one saw Song Lili's unfocused eyes.
It wasn't until Zhang Qinghua heard the silence outside and ran out to check that he saw Song Lili sitting there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
At this moment, Song Lili gave Zhang Qinghua the feeling that she seemed to be outside the world, as if she could drift away at any moment.
Moreover, he sensed a distance; Lili, in this state, kept everything outside, not allowing them into her world, as if she were the only person there.
Zhang Qinghua felt a little flustered and confused, then rushed over and hugged Song Lili tightly.
Afraid of startling her, he asked in his usual tone, "Why don't you go back inside? Aren't you cold?" Her body was icy cold, and her hands were cold to the touch.
But she herself did not realize it.
As it gradually warmed up, Song Lili came to her senses. "Why did you come out?" She was surprised because she hadn't heard Zhang Qinghua's words.
"I came out to see you. Daming and Daqing have both gone back, you should go back too." He put his arm around Song Lili and stood up.
Song Lili complied and let Zhang Qinghua half-carry her away, but she was still somewhat absent-minded.
Once inside, she sat on the bed in a daze, which worried Zhang Qinghua greatly.
What exactly did they say? Why did Lili suddenly become like this?
He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of suddenly touching on something he shouldn't, and that Lili's condition might worsen.
Zhang Qinghua was still hesitating when Song Lili spoke up.
"Qingguo, we've named our cosmetics 'Yimeng,' do you think it sounds nice?" Song Lili's voice was very soft.
It's unclear whether he was muttering to himself or actually asking Zhang Qinghua.
Zhang Qinghua was right next to Song Lili and naturally heard it. He nodded, his voice even softer, as if carrying warmth, "It sounds very nice."
Is she reminiscing about a dream? Is this why Lili is lost in thought?
What dream was it? Or, what was it that I was remembering?
What is she remembering? Song Lili asked herself the same question.
Finally, she discovered that her memories were just memories, memories of her past life and this life.
Those memories of bustling traffic, those memories of Hongqi Village, and those few memories of her family from her past life that she is unwilling to recall.
So what about the dream? And what kind of dream was it?
She often felt disoriented, as if her past and present lives were just a dream, merely her own illusion.
Those were just her dreams; they didn't exist at all, they were just things in her dreams.
That's why she's called Yimeng, a dream, or a memory, who knows?
"Qinghua, I remember Hongqi Village, back then, I had a guqin."
Song Lili suddenly felt the urge to confide in someone, so she sat there blankly.
"I know." Zhang Qinghua hugged her and kissed her forehead. "I know everything."
Is this why Lili was distracted?
"Do you think that if she hadn't passed away, she would still have the prescription and the medicine would still be in her possession by now?"
We've been reforming and opening up for several years now, shouldn't we have accomplished this by now?
"I don't know," Zhang Qinghua said after thinking for a moment.
He wasn't actually familiar with those people.
Normally, it was Lili who did the contact; in order to avoid being discovered by others, he never took the initiative to get close.
I'm afraid someone in the village will notice.
Therefore, he really had no way to answer Lily's question.
"Don't you know?" Song Lili seemed thoughtful, then smiled knowingly. "Yes, who could know?"
Even she, who came from the future, had no way of knowing the answer to this question.
There's no need to worry about things you don't know.
Why should a memory that's hard to distinguish as either a dream or reality continue to trouble you?
Whether it's a dream or reality doesn't matter anymore; her current life is the only real one.
The people around her are the real ones.
So nothing else matters.
Suddenly, Song Lili felt enlightened, and all the confusion, depression, and even doubt disappeared.
No matter what the past or future holds, the most important thing is to live in the present and make the most of the present moment.
So, what about those with aesthetic sense and relationships?
"It's late, let's go to sleep." Song Lili looked up and met Zhang Qinghua's gaze directly. Her eyes regained their sparkle, and she returned to her normal self.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Qinghua was finally able to ask with ease.
"It's alright, I was just feeling sentimental all of a sudden. Now it's all over, go to sleep." Song Lili smiled, a smile that Zhang Qinghua recognized.
"Okay. Go wash up. I'll wait for you." Zhang Qinghua kissed Song Lili again.
Song Lili went to wash up, and Zhang Qinghua leaned against the headboard, his eyes following her the whole time, feeling a little worried.
But looking at Song Lili, she was perfectly normal, as if what had just happened was an illusion.
This made him a little confused. Was he overthinking things?
Only after Song Lili fell asleep did Zhang Qinghua believe it. He had really been overthinking things; Lili was truly alright.
Otherwise, Lili wouldn't have fallen asleep so quickly.
Although she can sleep, when this matter is on her mind, she still tosses and turns and can't fall asleep.
