Chapter 92: I’m sure I won’t touch your food

The Half-Life GhostcatcherChapter 92

As we ate, we again felt an unfamiliar familiarity.

Obviously this flavor should have been something I ate only yesterday, but it always felt like seven years had passed so long ago, a dream.

Is it really a dream? I began to hesitate again. Is this place a dream, or is that seven year memory a dream.

Liu Ke, Chen Yanlu, Xia Bing, Shen Chong.

Xia Bing looked at me suspiciously and said, "Homi what are you thinking?"

Ah? I came back to my senses, looked at Xia Bing, and reluctantly shook my head, saying, "No, I had a dream last night, and it was exactly the same as the real thing ……"

Xia Bing gave a long oh and said, "Dreams are forgotten after a while, don't think about it. By the way, yesterday I received another love letter, later we read it together?"

I smiled and nodded, then a thought suddenly rose in my mind and blurted out, "Xia Bing, do you recognize someone called Zhang Yu?"

Xia Bing frowned, then thought for a moment and said, "Can't quite remember ugh."

I said, "Keep thinking."

Xia Bing smiled and said, "The name seems to be a man's, you shouldn't have fallen in love with him, right? Homi, could it be that he once sent me a love letter? Don't worry, I definitely won't touch your food."

I said seriously, "Not kidding you, think carefully?"

Xia Bing frowned and looked at me pitifully, "I really can't remember ah, this name is really seems to have heard of it, but it's been years."

I prompted, fourteen years?

Xia Bing suddenly realized and said, "So you are talking about that Zhang Yu?" Xia Bing pulled a mouthful of rice, muttering mouth said, "That little brat, a little bit big and said he wanted me to be his girlfriend. I directly told him that everyone has the seven-year itch."

"If you still don't have a girlfriend after fourteen years, come after me." Summer Ice smiled and said, "That's what I told him."

I nodded blankly, and Xia Bing pounded the table then said, "Seven years all, I still really forgot if you didn't say it."

Right, seven years.

Seven years have passed since Xia Bing and Zhang Yu met, and I had a dream that also lasted seven years.

Seven years …… I mumbled and looked at Xia Bing and said, "Do you want to try to fall in love with Zhang Yu?"

Xia Bing let out a giggle and said, "You don't have a problem with it Xia Bing, what kind of dream did you have in the end. Why is it giving me a weird feeling today."

I shook my head and said, "I mean it seriously. In that dream of mine, you died and Zhang Yu really waited for you for fourteen years and then came back for you."

I was just about to check on Xia Bing when I realized that the table across from me was empty. I looked back, only to find that Xia Bing was already sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

I sighed and sat on top of the couch. The day passed just like that.

Midway through the day, Xia Bing showed me her love letter and then said, "What do you think?"

I shook my head and said, "Childish and meaningless."

After Xia Bing left, I was still sitting on the sofa watching TV.

The movie that was playing was a ghost movie, and the scary plot in it didn't make me react at all. It was my mom who kept shouting at me in the kitchen to lower my voice, or else the aunt next door would come to talk about us.

Back in the room, I lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes, I froze for a moment from the dim light, and looked up to see that white-haired woman, quietly looking at me.

I rubbed my brow and looked at the empty wine glass with some confusion.

Was this one a dream? My head hurts, what exactly is a dream and what is real.

Zhang Yu suddenly said, "Your dream, what did you dream about?"

I looked at my hands with a pale face and twisted my head, Chen Yanlu was lying on top of the bar beside me, in a deep sleep.

In front of him, an empty wine glass was also placed.

I looked at Zhang Ye and said with difficulty, "Was that really a dream?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Real and unreal, always in a person's moment, you are able to dream for a thousand years. Or, when you close your eyes again, in another world, it may be possible to feel that here, is the dream."

"So esoteric, Zhang Yu, can you tell me what you really are?" I said with pursed lips.

Zhang Yehua, however, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what I am, what matters is who you think you are right now."

I interrupted Zhang Ye and said, "Why do you always have to bring the topic around to me, Xia Bing, I can't imagine how Xia Bing was able to attract a person like you to like her for fourteen years."

I finished in one breath, looking closely at Zhang Ye's face.

Zhang Ye, however, pointed to my side and said, "Your friend is going to wake up."

Chen Yanlu shook his head and I looked at him nervously, saying, "How are you?"

Morning Research Dew's eyes were a little red, and the sharp teeth at the corners of his mouth, showing a little bit of their tips, suddenly hugged me.

I froze at once, dumbfounded and unable to say a word. Chen Yanlu had never treated me like this before, he wouldn't dare to hug me if I didn't acquiesce.

But now Chen Yanlu's behavior is obviously not right, inside his dream, what did he dream?

Chen Yanluo loosened his hand, then said with a slightly trembling voice, "Homi, don't leave me."

I shook him twice and said, "Chen Yanlu, I'm here ah, what exactly did you dream of?"

As I asked Chen Yanlu, I turned back to look at Zhang Yu, only to find that the spot behind me, was empty.

Turning back again, the woman who had just bartended was also gone.

Chen Yanlu took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment, recovering. Then somewhat reluctantly, she said to me, "Let's go, that dream just now was so real that I almost didn't distinguish between what was a dream and what was real."

Morning Research Dew had just finished speaking, but then said suspiciously, "Hmm? Where are they people?"

I shook my head and said blankly, "I don't know, they disappeared as soon as I turned my head."

Chen Yanlu and I left the bar, and when I looked back, the bar was still as dimly lit as ever.

When we arrived at the school dormitory, lying on the bed, Chen Yanlu was still looking at me from the side, then said, "Homi, what did you dream about today?"

I sighed and said, "I dreamt that I was only fifteen years old, and that everything that is happening to us right now is a dream of mine."

Chen Yanlu nodded and said, "That wine, it really wasn't simple."

Not only was the wine not simple, the people were even more so. Zhang Yu and the woman who mixed the wine ……

Chen Yanlu suddenly said, "Homi, should we continue to go to that bar tomorrow?"

I forced a smile and said, "Did you dream of something today, and you hugged me."

Morning Glory paused and smiled bitterly, "Yes, but I can't tell you about the dream right now, I want to be done with it, let's go back to that bar again tomorrow."

I nodded and said, just as well, I also still wanted to continue to see what was going on, inside the dream.

It wasn't the same as my memories from seven years ago, it really was like what Zhang Yu said, another world.

Perhaps I am now, it is also possible that it is just a dream, the dreaming me, I don't know which world's Homi is.

I slept until noon the next day, after washing up and eating, Chen Yanlu and I continued to the New Wine Bar.

But even more puzzling for Chen Yanlu and I was: obviously the two of us left at two o'clock in the middle of the day, but by the time we arrived at this street of the bar, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

The dim lights made people drowsy, I looked at Zhang Ye, and the woman bartending, and said hello.

Zhang Ye nodded, and two more glasses of wine were placed in front of Chen Yanlu and me.

He said, "I know you guys will come back again, so these two glasses of wine, the wine was prepared last night."

I nodded and said, "Thank you."

Zhang Yu looked at the ceiling above his head and said, "This cup of wine, can allow you to continue that dream, if you guys don't want to wake up, you'll always be inside the dream."

I froze and hesitated as I looked at the quilt of milky white liquid in front of me.

I completely believed what Zhang Yu said, and I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have forgotten something when I was inside that dream.

But how could I think about it now, I couldn't recall it.

Suddenly, a sound of a cup falling to the ground woke me up, and I twisted my head around, only to see that Chen Yanlu was already lying on top of the table. The wine glass fell to the ground and swayed gently.

Zhang Yu sighed and said, "Wine doesn't make you drunk, your friend chose to continue that dream, so what about you?"

I looked blankly at Chen Yanlu, in his dream, there was me. He said yesterday that he asked me not to leave him, what was inside his dream?

I suddenly looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Did you drink the wine?" I mumbled, "You like Xia Bing so much, you should dream about her every day, right?"

Zhang Ye laughed and said, "This is not important, what is important is that you guys came over today, isn't that why you want to drink?"

I nodded, then tilted my head, and directly poured down that being liquor.

Now that I have nothing to do all day, it would be better to be inside the dream, once again.

The tantalizing aroma of sweet purple summer heat woke me up from my sleep.

It was still the same room, and on the cabinet above the bed, there was a bowl of sticky purple summer porridge.

I shook my head, looked at my arm, and laughed bitterly, "What exactly is a dream, I still don't have a way to tell the difference."

After finishing breakfast, I just wanted to go look for Xia Bing when he knocked on the door of my house.

Behind him, there were two boys who were fully a head taller than her.

I froze the moment I saw the two of them, then hurriedly let them in.

These two people were none other than Liu Ke and Chen Yanlu.

At fifteen years old, Liu Ke and Chen Yanlu were already somewhat handsome.

Chen Yanlu was more introverted, while Liu Ke was a bit flamboyant, but the only thing that was the same between the two was that the line of sight was always on my body.

I smiled and said, "Why did you guys come to me?"

Before Liu Ke and Chen Yanluo could say anything, Xia Bing smiled and said, "I told them to come, I want to go swimming today, but I'm afraid of drowning. Wanted to find you to go, you're a girl who can't save me in case something really happens."

Beads of sweat hung on my forehead. Chen Yanlu lowered her head and didn't say anything, but Liu Ke smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you two big beauties."

When he came to the swimming pool, it was empty without a few people.

Xia Bing, who had changed into a bikini, was still tender. But it had revealed the curves of a body that shouldn't have the curves of a fifteen year old girl.

The breath of youth flourished recklessly. Looking back at me, the place that should be flat is not flat, and the place that should not be flat, is still flat.

Chen Ranlu was sitting on the edge of the pool dumbfounded, while Liu Ke was swimming around quickly, and from time to time splashing us with some water, causing Xia Bing to burst into a fit of giggles.

It was only at this time that I realized that there was a huge wound in Liu Ke's chest and abdomen.

It was like a horrible centipede, from the shoulder position, all the way to the waist.

I shivered and thought about it, inside my other dream, this Liu Ke with the wound. It's the same demon that killed the principal, as well as Bai Mei and the others.

But now looking at Liu Ke's demeanor, I was a bit frozen, this Liu Ke, is it really Liu Ke?

Now this world, there is no turn to clones.

I looked at the face of Chen Yanlu, he still buried his head, black pupils, so that I was a little lost in thought.

I am determined, no matter whether this place is a dream or real, I must not be able to let those tragic things repeat.
