C63 (1/2)
It had been a long time since Xu Shiqiu had a dream.
In that dream, he was a celestial being in the sky, the jinx that his master had given him when he was young.
It was because he made a mistake and was punished. He had to experience the emotions and emotions of the world before he could return to the Heavenly Court.
In his previous dream, he had always been a lonely and miserable person in this world. Moreover, it was because the person who approached him would be unlucky, so there had never been a person by his side before.
Even his father and mother, and his sister who had loved him ever since he was young, would be affected by his fate and would be unable to approach him.
Today's dream was the same as usual. He was punished in the Heavenly Court for making a mistake, then he was sent into the human world to experience tribulation.
In the beginning, he was still alone and miserable, and whoever got close to him would be in trouble.
He had grown up from a young child to a young family, then to the death of his mother in middle age. His elder brothers and sisters all had their own families, and no one was willing to tolerate the existence of a person like him anymore.
He chose to leave home alone and roam around.
After a few decades, it was finally time for him to return to the Heavenly Court.
Seeing the Venerable One who had come to receive him, Xu Shiqiu was just about to fly up into the sky as per usual, but he realized that he couldn't move no matter how hard he tried.
He looked down in surprise and saw that Young Girl was tugging at his legs with tears in his eyes, preventing him from leaving.
”Husband, don't leave!” Young Girl's beautiful crescent eyes had long become swollen from crying from his grief. But even so, she still tightly hugged onto his legs, not letting himself leave.
”Husband, if you leave, what should we do?” As the Young Girl spoke, he pointed at the three children who were obediently standing at the side, watching him.
”Child!” The dreamscape was completely different from the one before, and it directly caused Xu Shiqiu to awaken from his dream.
Opening his eyes, Xu Shiqiu felt the Young Girl that was tightly hugging him in his arms. Thinking back to the completely different dream that he had just now, he suddenly laughed out loud.
But as he laughed, Xu Shiqiu was stunned.
”Is this dream true?”
Because when he thought about this, the more Xu Shiqiu thought about it, the more he couldn't fall asleep. Furthermore, he had a feeling that if he didn't marry the Young Girl, he would truly die as if he was in a dream.
”But the child …” Xu Shiqiu felt that he had probably heard the Young Girl mutter ”little kid” too much, otherwise, how could he dream about this.
But even if he kept on telling himself this in his heart, Xu Shiqiu still did not fall asleep. Until the sky lit up the next day, he stood up, summoned Cui Hua, and told her to go get the Doctor Du.
”Third Young Master, is the Madam feeling well?” Cui Hua was putting on some clothes sleepily in the room, her mouth did not forget to be concerned about Dong Shu, ”Do you want me to find a few people to listen to your orders?”
”It's alright, my wife is still sleeping. You can go and invite Doctor Du over.” Just as Xu Shiqiu was about to turn around and return to his room after saying this, he thought for a moment before stopping and saying, ”If Doctor Du asks, just say that I wanted to invite him here yesterday. I still have other matters to attend to today, so I invited him this early.” After saying that, Xu Shiqiu returned to the main house.
Only after Xu Shiqiu returned to the main house did Cui Hua leave his house. She then walked toward the courtyard of the Doctor Du with a puzzled expression.
Cui Hua's movements could not be considered as secretive, because she had recently gotten attention from Xu Shiqiu, so there were many servants who had been keeping an eye on her. She had gone to invite Doctor Du here early in the morning, and when she arrived at his residence, she had also not slept well the night before.
”This matter has never been done in the early hours of the morning. Please accompany me to the Shihuan Courtyard to take a look.” After Old Madame Xu said this, she immediately stood up, and the servant woman that served her also quickly followed.
Xu Shiqiu didn't know that because of what he did so early in the morning, he had actually attracted his mother over.
After Cui Hua left, he didn't even train early, she just sat on the side of the bed while wearing her clothes. Seeing Dong Shu frown in her sleep, he wanted to frown as well.
He estimated that the time when the Doctor Du arrived was not enough for him, and he waited for another quarter of an hour. Just as Xu Shiqiu was about to go out and take a look, he was surprised to hear the Old Madame Xu calling out to him.
”In the morning, ask Cui Hua to go and invite the Doctor Du. Did something happen?”
Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, she appeared in front of the main house.
”Mother!”
When Xu Shiqiu saw Old Madame Xu, he wanted to go up to him, but who knew that Dong Shu, who had heard the commotion, would slowly open her eyes.
”Husband, what's wrong?” Dong Shu rubbed her eyes in a daze. After she finished speaking, she did not hear Xu Shiqiu's reply and after a few blinks, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Seeing that Young Girl was asleep again, Xu Shiqiu then took two steps forward, looked at his mother and asked: ”Mother, why have you come?” After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked outside, seeing that Cui Hua was still not back yet, he turned to his mother and said: ”Mother, please come in. Cui Hua will probably be back soon, when she comes back, let her brew tea for you.”
”No rush.” As the Old Madame Xu spoke, she also walked into the room. After sitting in the main hall, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and asked: ”Is the Madame Dong not feeling well?”
She was very clear that if something really were to happen to Dong Shu, then this son of hers, would probably be truly lonely in the future.
