Chapter 931 How about we get married on September 19th?
"Are these things you're worried about not being able to share with me? Don't worry, I'll keep them confidential."
"Sorry, no."
"We have no grudges against each other, I don't want anything to happen to you, doctor..." Lu Yuanqiu looked at him with difficulty.
Furthermore, if I share it, the other person might immediately assume I'm mentally ill, or that I have some other mental illness, causing the treatment to go astray...
Lu Yuanqiu just wants to get rid of this nightmare that's bothering him.
The doctor nodded in agreement and continued, "Alright, there's one more question. When you're dreaming, are you aware that you're dreaming?"
Lu Yuanqiu thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know. If I knew, I probably wouldn't have been so immersed in the story. At the time, I was just scared, so scared that I couldn't move my whole body."
If he knew he was dreaming, he could have simply imagined the doctor's face in the dream and maybe broken the deadlock... But Lu Yuanqiu couldn't do that. The dream had him completely absorbed, and all he felt in his heart was fear.
"Master Mao" nodded: "Actually, I've encountered patients before who frequently have the same nightmare and have been troubled by it for a long time. It's quite common, but what they dream about are usually painful memories, and the scenes from those times are replayed in their dreams. It's less common for you to be in an environment you've never seen before, but it does happen..."
"What should I do, Dr. Mao?"
"I just asked you if you knew you were dreaming because I hoped that you could use your own strength to break through the predicament in your dream, such as swimming up and dealing with the person who approached you with a dagger. If you can do that in your dream, I believe you will never have this dream again."
Do we still have to rely on ourselves?
Lu Yuanqiu fell silent.
The doctor looked at him and said, "I will prescribe some sedatives and sleep aids for you. Perhaps after taking the medicine, your sleep quality will improve, and you will no longer have this dream."
"But if you continue to have this dream... In fact, people can control their dreams under certain circumstances. For example, if you close your eyes tightly in a dream and then open them, you will wake up in reality."
The doctor even closed his eyes to demonstrate while speaking.
He continued, "But I don't think that even if you wake up, it won't solve the problem. You'll keep having the dream. The fundamental issue is that you need to break free from the predicament you're in your dream."
"Try to figure out in your dream why you keep falling into darkness, stop yourself from falling, and what's in the darkness below. I think you should know now."
The darkness concealed those things that had always made me uneasy... Lu Yuanqiu understood what he meant.
The doctor continued, "The most important thing is to try to see who the second person who jumped down is. You must have met him before. Figure out if you have any grudges with him in real life. If you can resolve your issues with him in real life, maybe he won't appear in your dream."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded slightly.
Doctor: "Okay, that's all. Go get your medicine."
As Lu Yuanqiu stood up and was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and turned back to the doctor, saying, "By the way, Dr. Mao, in my dream, the area above the water was very bright. Is that because I like to sleep with the lights on?"
"Then try sleeping with the lights off."
I can't sleep with the lights off.
"...That's good, if you can't sleep you won't dream."
"Dr. Mao, you have quite a sense of humor."
Lu Yuanqiu and the doctor exchanged a smile. Just as he was about to leave, the doctor suddenly called out from behind, "Hey Mr. Lu! The high school classmate you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be named Mao Sheng, would you?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Yuanqiu turned around and looked at him in surprise.
The doctor smiled and said, "No wonder, he's my nephew."
"Oh! What a coincidence! It's Uncle!"
Lu Yuanqiu quickly turned back and shook hands with him warmly.
But actually, he wasn't that close to Mao Sheng. They didn't even have each other's contact information in high school. However, Lu Yuanqiu still found it quite amazing that he could meet Mao Sheng's uncle while seeing a psychologist.
On his way back, he saw the questioning message Bai Qingxia had sent him.
Lu Yuanqiu: Where are you now?
Bai Qingxia: I'm going home now. I'll pick up Ranran when it's time.
Lu Yuanqiu: I'm going back now.
He rang the doorbell of apartment 601 in Happiness Lane, put his hands behind his back and waited quietly. After a short while, Bai Qingxia opened the door from the inside, her face showing the questioning expression she had prepared all along.
She looked into Lu Yuanqiu's eyes: "Explain."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and held out a bouquet of roses: "Remember the roses we stored at the flower shop before? I've brought them back."
Bai Qingxia reached out and took it. Of course she remembered. What surprised her was that Lu Yuanqiu could still remember. It was something that happened before they got together.
"Nonsense, it's definitely not the same rose as before. It's been so long, it's long since withered and turned to dust." She said this, but her eyes were still happily examining each tender petal in her arms, whether it was real or not didn't matter.
Lu Yuanqiu hissed, put his hands in his pockets, and shook his head as he explained, "The flower petals are just a vessel for love, but if I could do it all over again, I would choose to give them away back then."
It seems we didn't express our feelings to each other back then, and I was too embarrassed to give the flowers as gifts.
Bai Qingxia looked up at him, and was now happy. Holding the flowers, she turned to the side and said, "Come in."
"So cheesy, but I like it." Zhang Ru commented from the sofa in the living room, then suddenly became expectant: "I'd be so happy if Lao Bai could send me a small bouquet!"
“Aunt Zhang should take the initiative to remind him, because my dad is very slow to understand,” Bai Qingxia said.
Although Zhang Ru has married Bai Songzhe, Bai Qingxia is still not used to calling Zhang Ru "Mom." However, Zhang Ru doesn't mind and says that if Xiaxia did call her that, she would be the one who would feel uncomfortable. This way, it's fine.
Bai Qingxia placed the flowers on the table in the room and walked into the living room. She saw Lu Yuanqiu standing by the sofa, smiling at her, as if waiting for her. After Bai Qingxia sat down on the sofa, she realized what Lu Yuanqiu meant. Lu Yuanqiu wanted to rest his head on her lap.
Lu Yuanqiu cried out "Ouch!" and lay down on his side on the sofa, his head resting on Bai Qingxia's thigh. He stared at the ceiling, his hand in his pocket holding the sedative and sleeping pills he had gotten from the hospital.
Bai Qingxia rubbed his face with her hand and lowered her head to say, "Hey, how about we get married on September 19th?"
"Ah, on your birthday? Okay." Lu Yuanqiu was a little distracted. He hoped the medicine would work; having this nightmare going on was not a good thing.
"Idiot, it's not just his birthday..." Bai Qingxia muttered to herself, using her fair "hand" to gently chop at Lu Yuanqiu's forehead. However, it was already quite impressive that Lu Yuanqiu could remember a birthday.
"Then let's find some time to take the wedding photos before then!" Lu Yuanqiu raised his arm.
...
He took the medicine that night, and then he had another dream.
Not only did I have a dream, but because I slept so soundly, I was late for work the next day and got scolded by my second uncle.
Mao Sheng, the god of googling, I**
