Chapter 119: (109)Peach blossoms understand me, dreams solve puzzles (Thanks to Night Sailing Island for the reward support)_2
Sun Ruofan was lost in thought.
He stared blankly at the coffee in front of him that had gone cold.
His fingers were unconsciously writing something on the tabletop.
The screen was full of ideals.…
That evening.
“You can go to sleep now.”
Uncle Tang of the Tang Family’s eyelids began to fight each other, and, ultimately failing to hold on, closed completely the next second.
Vehicles were speeding by.
Streaks of sunlight pierced through the clouds, quickly illuminating the earth.
This was probably the first time Pei Jinye truly saw Tang Yulou’s dream.
It was no longer the oppressive darkness. As far as the eye could see, the roaring of vehicles speeding by continued to reach his ears, and the sunlight that shone upon him felt surprisingly warm.
“Where is this…”
Pei Jinye looked down at his somewhat darkened palms before feeling his body slowly rising from a park bench by the roadside.
This feeling of possession was somewhat different from the possession during the assessment.
Here, Pei Jinye clearly sensed that he was an outsider.
Although he could move his gaze freely, his current movements could not change their course according to his will.
And the owner of this body was none other than Uncle Tang of the Tang Family, Tang Yulou.
“You’re here.”
A heavy voice came from behind him.
Many garbled codes were flowing across the other person’s face at the moment; Pei Jinye couldn’t tell who it was, only knowing that the person was dressed in a low-key, ordinary outfit and walked towards him with steady steps.
“Why does this person feel so familiar?” Pei Jinye muttered to himself in surprise.
But he couldn’t pinpoint who it was.
“Did you bring the item?” Tang Yulou’s tone was deep in the dream.
“Have you thought it through?” The newcomer slowly lifted his head, “Do you know that this is a forbidden substance of the Federation? Even I am not sure of its effects if you use it.”
“I have made up my mind.”
Seeing Tang Yulou’s resolute attitude, the other person handed over a bottle of dark red potion.
Tang Yulou got in his car and drove to a cemetery on the outskirts, standing in front of a gravestone with the grey portrait of a young girl. He offered the fresh flowers he had prepared, lit three incense sticks, and bowed deeply.
“I have come to see you…”
“The fate of this life ends here…”
“You once said if I completely forget you, the day we can meet again… you would come back, right?”
“By drinking this forbidden medicine, whatever karma I’ve incurred…”
Pei Jinye roughly understood the cause of Tang Yulou’s insomnia.
However, he could not determine the ingredient of the forbidden medicine.
It seemed this medicine was causing his chronic insomnia.
“Another burden of love…” Pei Jinye said with a sigh.
His throat felt a sweet and fishy taste; he coughed once, trying to suppress it.
In the battle with Xu Tian, although he had cost the opponent an arm, he also saw his own shortcomings in martial arts.
It’s just a pity…
He was so close.
Standing in front of Tang Yulou, Pei Jinye noticed that Uncle Tang, with his eyes tightly closed, couldn’t help but let two trails of tears roll down.
He left Tang Yulou’s room.
Auntie Liu Huilan, as usual, saw Pei Jinye out.
But it’s Pei Jinye who, before getting into the car, heard Tang Huoyang speak in a low voice, “Did you discover something?”
“Let’s talk in the car,” Pei Jinye signaled.
Tang Huoyang got in the car; today, he was driving himself. After leaving Uncle Tang’s villa, he asked in a low voice, “What’s going on?”
“Let’s get one thing straight first—this is Uncle Tang’s private matter, and it’s not right for me to pry. But I need your help,” Pei Jinye shared about the forbidden medicine.
Tang Huoyang exclaimed in surprise, “I had no idea such a thing existed… So, according to you, if we find this component and create a corresponding antidote, we might be able to free my uncle from his current state?”
“That’s the general idea,” Pei Jinye looked up and said gravely, “but let’s not talk about whether the ingredients of this forbidden medicine can be found. Even if they can, when the time comes, on Auntie Liu’s side… what to say?”
“It’s going to be tricky, and we might have to keep it from her for the time being,” Tang Huoyang sighed. “I don’t understand the romances of the older generation; I just know that my uncle’s condition cannot keep dragging on like this.”
Pei Jinye nodded, “I’ll leave the follow-up to you. Uncle Tang has started to connect with his dreams now, which means things are moving in a positive direction…”
Tang Huoyang agreed, and looking up sincerely, he said, “Old Pei, really, thank you.”
Pei Jinye waved his hand dismissively.
After getting out of the car, Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang both saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Tang Huoyang appeared surprised by the person, then whispered, “You go ahead, we’ll catch up later.”
He drove away.
Pei Jinye shifted his gaze back to the newcomer.
Lan Ranran stood, conflicted, at the same spot, seemingly a bit nervous.
She had only found out about Wei Xia’s death that afternoon.
The crisis at the family factory had, through a stroke of luck, been temporarily averted.
After hesitating for a long time, she found Pei Jinye.
To be honest,
she didn’t know why she had come to find him.
It was as if she urgently wanted to talk to someone about what was on her mind.
But in fact…
At the moment she saw Pei Jinye, she no longer wanted to say anything.
She stood on tiptoe.
Approaching Pei Jinye, she kissed his cheek, light as a dragonfly.
The words on the tip of Pei Jinye’s tongue were swallowed back, and he looked at her in astonishment.
Lan Ranran, noticing his startled expression, suddenly smiled radiantly, “Turns out even you are not so fearless.”
She turned around.
From the first time they met with her ear-length bob to the black curls now falling over her shoulders, the girl, once extroverted, now looked like a satisfied little squirrel. She turned back and waved, “Good night, Pei Jinye.”
Pei Jinye was astounded.
The kiss on the cheek came so unexpectedly that he was completely clueless about what had just transpired.
However, thinking about how Wei Xia had been oppressing the Lan Family recently, perhaps the young girl was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He shook his head.
The young people nowadays… What if it happened again?
He turned back to look at Lan Ranran’s figure getting into the taxi. As they brushed past each other, the young girl was leaning by the car window looking back at him.
The cool evening breeze blew at that moment, but whose heart it touched remained a mystery.
Pei Jinye turned and stepped into the residential complex.
As if what had just happened didn’t bother him at all.
And not far away, watched by a surveillance camera.
A pair of eyes fixated on the scene.
“Tch,” Guiyi said with a face full of emotion, “That’s the flavor of youth.”
“But Student Pei really is a homebody, isn’t he? If not at home, then at the Cultivation Pavilion… Does he really have no hobbies at all?”
A cold voice came from beside him, “Why worry so much about these things? Has the secret chatroom been set up yet? Hurry up… Once it’s past ten, Xing Tian will begin operating.”
“I’m on it, I’m on it.”
Arriving at his doorstep, Pei Jinye didn’t expect to find both his parents wearing odd expressions, the atmosphere in the house inexplicably tense.
Pei Jinye’s first thought was that his parents had been replaced by someone.
He was secretly on guard.
Only after confirming that nothing abnormal had happened to his parents did he reluctantly lift his head and ask, “Did you… Have a fight?”
“A fight?” Father Pei was taken aback, shaking his head, “No.”
Mother Pei got up and brought over a plate of fruit, handing it to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye picked up an orange and began to peel it, head down, and asked, “If you didn’t fight, why is the atmosphere so tense? What happened?”
He thought to himself that Sun San didn’t contact him today either.
Yet all of a sudden, he heard Mother Pei speak as if it was nothing, “How long have you been together?”
“Huh?” Pei Jinye stopped peeling the orange, lifting his bewildered face to look at her.
Father Pei, who was pretending to peel an apple, slowed down involuntarily and pricked up his ears.
“I’m not in a relationship,” Pei Jinye had just finished saying when he thought of something, “Did you two… See all that?”
As if it were nothing, Mother Pei spoke, “We happened to go downstairs to move something, and I thought I had mistaken the person… But that young girl seemed to have waited for you for quite a while.”
Pei Jinye stuffed two orange slices into his mouth and mumbled unclearly, “It’s not what you think.”
While he was talking, his phone vibrated.
He picked up his phone.
He didn’t notice his parents exchanging puzzled glances.
“After all that, you’re not in a relationship?”
“That… doesn’t seem right, does it?”
“Back in our days, we’d be so cautious just holding hands.”
“It’s the young people these days who play wild…”
Mother Pei shot a silent warning glance, and Father Pei drew back his neck.
But it was then that Pei Jinye suddenly stood up, with phone in hand, and without turning back said, “I need to handle something. I’ll be in my room first.”
At that moment.
A line of text appeared on the phone screen.
[Do you want to choose a different life? YesNo?]
In the darkness, Pei Jinye let out a scoff.
