Chapter 14
Since that night, Li Yang was forced to join the Erguocefu team. Whenever he went out to do something, Fatty Liang would go to Zhou Du and take the car keys on the pretext that "Li Yang was going out."
In short, you have to bring your own motion sickness medicine and share a ride into the city to live broadcast.
Zhou Du gives it every time.
Liang Pangzi gradually felt that things were not simple, especially after watching Qian Ran's clips of the love story between the elder brother and the younger brother, he turned on some kind of radar, as if he could hear Qian Ran whispering in his ear: a cold and cruel leader who is ruthless to all his subordinates, but dotes on the new driver...
He shook off the voice in his head. It must be the sequelae of money. The only time they had contact every day was dinner, and the communication at the table was pitiful. But he couldn't help but look at the two of them in a subtle way when he saw them in the same frame.
One day, he found Lu Xiaoguo and asked, "Have you noticed that Zhou Du is taking special care of the new driver?"
"Is there?" Lu Xiaoguo thought for a moment while cutting the teaching aids in class. "Not bad."
Fatty Liang shook his head.
Where did all those cheesy romance novels go? There were only the two of them on the third floor, and no one knew what the two of them did.
For the activities on Teacher's Day, the Tai Chi class and the Lotus class spent an afternoon doing handicrafts. The children had to make gifts by hand and give them to their favorite teachers. There was no limit to the number. They could make as many gifts as they wanted, based on their hands-on ability. They also had to keep one to take back to the temple and give to their own master.
Greeting cards were the simplest, so almost all the kids made them first. Then they used their other ideas to make clay dolls, hand-painted ceramic cups, etc. In the end, every teacher got a share, and even Li Yang received quite a few.
Unlike his other colleagues, the pieces of clay given to him by his children, even if they were only the size of a child's palm, were all engraved with Buddhist scriptures or Taoist talismans.
Greeting cards seem the most simple, with blessings like calling on the ancestors to bless him.
I don’t quite understand.
I just never thought that there would be a day when I would use them.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Li Yang began to frequently have a dream that was even stranger than the one about an ancient man holding his hand while practicing swordplay.
In the dream, a fat baby in a red bellyband twisted her fingers like a young wife, trying to resist but also welcoming him and calling him: "Benefactor~"
He woke up immediately.
The next day, they came again, running after him with their two short carrot legs, and finally pounced on him, hung on his legs, crying and refusing to let go.
On the third day, the dream was of a familiar bamboo forest. A man in a jade robe stood tall with a sword. Before Li Yang had time to have a headache, an even bigger headache came. A sweet baby voice sounded from behind: "Benefactor~" and ran towards him.
As a result, he hit the barrier and was thrown into the air and fell down. The little fat boy got up aggrieved and just wanted to cry when he saw the man next to his benefactor. He looked very difficult to deal with.
Xiaopang was so intimidated that he dared not speak, nor leave. He sat cross-legged on the grass outside the barrier, holding his chin and watching them practice swordplay.
The two strange dreams merged together. Li Yang took out the carved symbols gift from a child and placed them on the bedside table, but it didn't work. He then tried reducing his sleep time at night, but he felt sleepy as soon as it got dark and would be dragged into a dream as soon as he touched the sofa.
He was forced to go to bed early and get up early. His colleagues in the world of the living asked him what skin care products he used to look so good, and his superiors in the underworld asked him if he went on strike for a few days every month.
He fell asleep on the sofa in the living room again and was woken up by Lu Xiaoguo.
Li Yang glanced past the other colleagues and saw Zhou Du. His expression became more and more ugly, which puzzled Teacher Guoguo: "How can a small driver like you have so many troubles and frown every day? Let's eat."
He didn't say anything, walked over, finished the bowl in three or four mouthfuls, and went upstairs.
The bathroom was filled with cold air. Li Yang didn't remember how long he had stayed there. The anger accumulated in his chest was rushing wildly.
When he closed his eyes, the man in his dream would brush his lips against the tip of his ear and whisper to him, "Your ears are red."
The little fat baby was thrown out of the dream, and he was held in his arms, unable to break free for a long time.
The scalding temperature under the cold water curtain continued unabated. Li Yang put on his wet clothes and walked out, violently pushing open the door opposite.
The man in front of the desk looked up and was attacked.
Zhou Du turned his head to dodge, and the ruthless boy attacked him like crazy, and asked him with anger in his throat: "For a cultivator like you, it's easy to enter other people's dreams, right?"
Zhou Du did not answer, but handled the situation calmly as he fought with him from the inner bedroom to the outer terrace. The whole room was in a mess as if it had been ransacked by a dog. Finally, Zhou Du was pushed against the bluestone guardrail by him. He leaned back, held his fist, and was enveloped in warmth.
The young man gritted his teeth and attacked again with his fists and feet, then switched the attacking and defending positions, so that he was forced against the guardrail, with a lake view behind him.
Zhou Du stared at the redness on his neck and ears. The cool minty scent of his body brought by the breeze was distinct. The man spoke lazily, "Have you had enough of being naughty?"
Li Yang's chest heaved violently.
Zhou Du narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you dreaming? Am I in your dream? Do you think I used some means to enter your dream?"
He doesn't speak.
Zhou Du lowered his head, leaned down, and looked at him, "Your ears are red, so what did we do in the dream?"
Li Yang's pupils shrank and he wanted to attack again.
However, his hands and feet were restrained.
In fact, before this, Li Yang was not sure that the man whose face he could not see clearly was him, nor was he sure whether it had anything to do with him. He was just frustrated and had no way to vent his feelings, and his intuition told him that he had to fight.
But he was almost 100 percent sure now.
"In your dream, did I do something to you unilaterally, or did we do it together——"
The teachers on the second floor listened to the persistent and increasingly intense noises coming from the floor above and asked, "Is this... a fight?"
The teachers went over to try to stop the fight, but all they saw was Li Yang beating Zhou Du and destroying the house.
"That's okay." They all left in a swarm again.
Fatty Liang shook his head and said that if a single man and a single woman get too excited, something bad will happen.
Third floor
The room was badly damaged, but Zhou Du wasn't annoyed at all, nor did he fight back. He just tried to resolve his moves.
Just like in the dream.
Li Yang seemed to have endless energy, but his breathing was already disordered.
Finally, Zhou Du grabbed his wrist and pressed him down on the desk, ending this long fight.
The young man's hands were shackled above his head. He was breathing heavily, and the rise and fall of his chest touched the man's chest again and again. His shirt was soaked with sweat, but the man in front of him didn't have a messy hair.
The impression of his fingertips on the red rope and skin was inexplicably burning. Li Yang struggled helplessly, and a gasp escaped from his throat unconsciously.
"Can't you just rest for a while?" Zhou Du said helplessly, "You dreamed about me, and then you woke up and beat me. You wouldn't do that."
"If you really want to vent your anger, fine, but I can't be so innocent. Anyway, I did something in my dream, so let me do something in real life. Tell me, what did I do to you in my dream?"
Li Yang's brain went blank for a second, "Stop playing dumb!" She cursed and kicked him, the corner of her clothes turned up, revealing her narrow waist that was twisted under his eyes.
Zhou Du sighed, picked up the mad puppy, walked to the opposite room and threw it onto the bed. He bit his fingertips until they bled and drew a talisman in the air towards him. The talisman was completed with his hand, and a golden-red light flashed and disappeared into his forehead.
Li Yang slowly calmed down, his restlessness was soothed, and the fatigue from just fighting started to rise up in his body. Soon he fell into a deep sleep.
The young man's soft black hair was rubbed against the pure cotton quilt. He curled up on his side in a slightly childish posture, losing his former sharpness.
Zhou Du picked up a thin quilt and covered him with it, then left the room and closed the door.
Returning to his room, he walked over the mess on the table and floor and went to the only terrace with a place to stand. The most respected masters of the major Taoist temples had to bathe, burn incense, change clothes and purify themselves before chanting the names of the gods and saints. At this time, Zhou Du called out the names directly.
Moreover, the deity, whom the temple masters would only ask for oracles or guidance when they encountered difficult problems, now appeared in Zhou Du’s room in the form of his Dharma body.
The man was wrapped in a luxurious moon-colored robe with faint silver stars. His black hair was like a waterfall, and he wore a jade crown tied high. His cold and noble face was surrounded by holy light.
His appearance and figure were that of an ancient version of Zhou Du.
The man took one look at the damaged bedroom and couldn't help laughing. He flicked his sleeves slightly, and everything was put back in place, even the damaged items were restored to their original state.
“He didn’t see the face clearly, but he still recognized it.”
The voice and expression are exactly the same.
"Can't he get a good night's sleep?" Zhou Du said in a bad tone.
The man's voice was low and lazy: "I know. But Zhou Du, what you and I see and think are the same-"
What I think is also what you think.
The translucent Dharma body gradually faded away until the last ray of silver light disappeared.
Zhou Du rubbed his tense brows. Sharing consciousness and memories, he naturally knew what Li Yang did in his dream.
A dreamless night.
Li Yang woke up and started working. Lu Xiaoguo asked curiously, "Why did you hit the boss yesterday?"
"..." Li Yang was unsure again. He remembered that he didn't sleep well so he beat him up as if he were a person in his dream to vent his anger.
He made up an excuse: "He disturbed my sleep."
Lu Xiaoguo had no doubts. "I've been wanting to say this for a long time. You're a bit grumpy when you wake up! You messed up the boss's room yesterday. I thought a litter of huskies had walked in! Sleeping conditions can have a huge impact on your mood. I suggest you develop the habit of going to bed early."
Li Yang nodded perfunctorily.
I still didn’t have any dreams for the next few nights, and the fat kid never appeared again.
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the kids had two small mooncakes for lunch in different flavors, but the most popular ones were the lava custard and fruit ice skin ones. The kindergarten guessed this, so they bought the most of these two when purchasing.
After eating one mooncake, I put the other one in my schoolbag and took it home to eat as required by the teacher.
At this time, a child complained: "Teacher! So-and-so ate all the two mooncakes!"
The teacher was helpless: "It's not that you can't eat, it's just that it's not good to eat too much at once."
As soon as he finished speaking, another kid shouted, "Teacher! Peng Nannan and Tang Wanzi are hiding outside and eating secretly!"
The teacher went to look for them, and they hid in the teacher's office. The others fought alone, but these two knew how to cooperate. One went into the office to eat, while the other stood guard at the door.
Of course, Tang Wan, who was out for a walk, left Peng Nannan behind and ran away as soon as she saw the teacher. When Peng Nannan's mouth was covered with chocolate sauce and mooncake crumbs, she saw the teacher's stern face.
So, while other children were happily making their own rabbit lanterns, these two were dragged into the office to reflect and listen to lectures. When talking about abandoning their allies, Peng Nannan got angry: "You are treacherous!" Tang Wan spread his hands: "It is better for me to die than for my friend to die. That's what the teacher said."
It was the teacher who made such a joke to his colleagues: "…"
I don't want to teach anymore.
