Chapter 366 (1/2)

Dream? (2)

“Hey… Wait, what’s your name? I forgot to ask!” Xuan Yuanbing realised she didn’t know the girl’s name.

“I’m Zhen Xiaoyan!”

“Xiaoyan, come, let’s have a chat. Tell me about Ye Lang, and about the people around him! Tell me everything!” Xuan Yuanbing dragged Zhen Xiaoyan over to a table, then gazed intently at her, full of anticipation.

She had already slept for 21 years, how could she be sleepy now? Even if she had her bed to sleep on, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep and would just spend the night accompanying Ye Lang.

If she had a choice, she would want to get to know Ye Lang better, and having a chat over candlelight would be the best!

“If you’re interested, I can tell you about him- but you’ll have to pick a main point or I won’t be able to tell you everything in one night! Maybe not even a year!” answered Zhen Xiaoyan obediently, she didn’t seem to know how to say ‘no’.

“It’s alright, tell me from the beginning. If you can’t finish, I’ll ask him in the dream. All I have is time…” said Xuan Yuanbing.

“Right, you both do have a lot of time!” mumbled Zhen Xiaoyan, her tone with a hint of admiration.

“But I like being able to feel stuff, hugging him in real life felt so much better than in the dream! And we weren’t used to be able to talk about our identities, I’m not sure if it’ll be the same in the future!” Xuan Yuanbing said with a chuckle. In reality, there was something she was even more afraid of: she wasn’t sure if they’d meet again in their dreams.

She used to be in a different state of consciousness, and it wouldn’t be the same now. She wondered if they would still have the same connection!

However, even if the connection no longer existed, she could still see him. And she was much more in control now too. In the past, she could only wait, sometimes not even sure if he would return.

It was terrifying to feel that way, she would never forget her fear!

Compared to her past problems, she felt as though her current problems weren’t problems at all.

“You may begin!”

“I’ll start with what I know. When Ye Lang was very young, he was kinda dumb…”

“He’s still dumb now!”

“I should say he used to be dumber, but more adorable… And at that time…”

The moon rose then set, the sun yet to rise. The skies were pitch-black. This was the darkest hour of the morning, and at this point, Zhen Xiaoyan was still talking to Xuan Yuanbing over candlelight. They’d been talking for hours, yet she was still talking about Ye Lang when he was seven…

Zhen Xiaoyan was a little sleepy but forced herself to stay awake because she didn’t know how to say ‘no’ and also because she liked talking about Ye Lang.

“Alright, you should sleep, it’ll be morning soon! I’m going to bed too, I’ll go meet the little idiot!” Although Zhen Xiaoyan didn’t express she was tired, Xuan Yuanbing could tell and didn’t insist on her staying.

“Okay, I’ll go to bed then!” nodded Zhen Xiaoyan.
