Chapter 216
That night, Ye Qi had nightmares and didn’t sleep well . He dreamed of his first trip to 3 of Spades .
<hr>
The joy he first felt at knowing Cheng Ziyang was his senior and then the helplessness and anger when his senior took away their supplies and abandoned him . After following the group of people to the construction site, he barely managed to feed himself with everyone’s help . Later, the prisoners escaped and he was shot to death…
He had experienced two realistic deaths .
The first one was the car accident in the real world and the second time was in 3 of Spades Financial Crisis . He had been shot in the head . At that moment, he could even see a large amount of blood flowing down his forehead and blinding him, turning the world in front of him a b.l.o.o.d.y red .
Later, he was penniless in the Nightmare Room . He sang on the streets for the first few days and then ate leaves and weeds every day to survive . He lived worse than a beggar . This crazy sense of hunger seemed to be engraved in his nerves and bone marrow . Therefore, even after leaving the Nightmare Room, he cherished it every time he saw food .
The secret room had left a serious psychological shadow on him . He felt hungry every night and had to eat before going to bed or he would wake up hungry in the middle of the night . The days of looking for fresh leaves or even digging through the trash for food were too hard . He never wanted to go through it again in his life .
The repeated nightmares caused a cold sweat to appear on Ye Qi’s forehead . At the end of the dream, Ye Qi saw Cheng Ziyang smiling and saying to him, “I am also from the Conservatory of Music . What a coincidence . I am a junior this year and I’m your senior . ”
Ye Qi walked over enthusiastically and held out his hand . “h.e.l.lo Senior . I always hear your name . I often hear my cla.s.smates talk about you in school…”
As a result, the moment he held this person’s right hand, Cheng Ziyang suddenly brought out a knife with his left hand and stabbed Ye Qi in the chest . Ye Qi lowered his head and saw the bright blade stuck in his chest and the dazzling blood on it .
Ye Qi sat up in shock .
Obviously, Cheng Ziyang’s appearance had reminded him of not-so-good memories . Cheng Ziyang stabbing him at the end of the dream hadn’t actually happened but Ye Qi’s heart was still thumping . The dream was too real and he always felt it was a bad omen .
He heard that some dreams were contrary to reality while some were ominous…
Ye Qi was staring at the tent in a daze when a low voice entered his ears . “What’s wrong?”
Shao Qingge was awakened by him . Ye Qi turned back to meet Shao Qingge’s sleepy eyes and told him, “I just woke up from a nightmare . ”
“Were you dreaming about 3 of Spades?” Shao Qingge knew this because he had the heart channel to let him feel Ye Qi’s uneasiness . He sat up, gently pressed a hand against Ye Qi’s shoulder and spoke softly, “Don’t think too much . It’s all over . The people in our team can be trusted and no one will abandon their teammates . ”
“Of course I believe in everyone . ” Ye Qi scratched his head and barely squeezed out a small smile . “It’s just a dream . It doesn’t matter . ”
“Okay… it is only three in the morning . Sleep a bit longer . ” Shao Qingge’s voice was lazy . Perhaps it was because he woke up in the middle of the night and hadn’t got enough sleep . Ye Qi told him, “You go to sleep . I can sleep so I might as well swap s.h.i.+fts to keep watch . ”
<hr>
“Then I’ll go do night watch duty as well . ” Shao Qingge started to put on a coat .
“Don’t you like to sleep late? You can sleep a bit longer…” Ye Qi hadn’t finished when Shao Qingge interrupted him . “It’s fine . Everyone has been taking turns to stand guard these days . I can’t always let Professor Xiao stay up late . It is time for us to change s.h.i.+fts . ”
“Yes, it makes sense!”
The two of them got dressed and walked out of the tent to where Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were keeping warm .
They were sitting on fruit cartons around the small stove used by the security guard . They added some wood to the stove to keep themselves warm and should be talking through the heart channel . It was because they couldn’t hear Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang making any sound . They could just be seen making eye contact .
Xiao Lou saw that Ye Qi and Shao Qingge were awake and couldn’t help asking, “What are you doing up? The two of you don’t need to keep watch tonight . ”
Ye Qi told him, “In any case, I’ve woken up in the middle of the night . Professor Xiao, why don’t you go back to rest and leave the night watch to us? I can release another eavesdropper and monitor any movements . ”

Shao Qingge was connected to his mind and soon detected Ye Qi’s thoughts . He smiled and said, “The other quilt should be laid down to make a mattress . Then one quilt is used to cover them . This way, the ground won’t be too cold . ”
The voice that suddenly rang out in his mind made Ye Qi stunned . He still wasn’t used to connecting to people using Heart has a Tacit Exchange of Romantic Feelings .
Shao Qingge continued, “Speaking might wake the others up . It is a good thing to have the spiritual channel . Shall we try to communicate in our heads?”
Ye Qi nodded and sat down in the place where Xiao Lou had just been sitting . He added some fuel to the stove .
He glanced at Xiao Lou’s tent and wondered in his mind, “Can two big men sleep under the same quilt and not be squeezed in? In fact, half of the quilt can be spread underneath and the other half can be used to cover yourself . This way, it is warm and you won’t be stealing each other’s quilts . ”
The young man’s eyes were simple and clear and it seemed he was really going to seriously suggest this to Xiao Lou…
Shao Qingge helplessly touched his forehead . “The two of them are voluntary so you don’t have to worry . At that time, they were a couple for half a month in Beacon in Troubled Times . They shared the same bed during that time and are probably used to it . ”
Ye Qi was stunned and his eyes widened once he finally reacted . “You mean… they? Are that?”
Shao Qingge smiled and asked, “Haven’t you ever heard of two men being together?”
Ye Qi’s face was slightly red as he replied with embarra.s.sment, “I’ve heard about it a lot . My school has some small, transparent people who are willing to be taken care of by a bigshot in order to become famous in the singing world . There is a young boy with a gold master behind him . The gold master is said to be over 20 years older than him and is raising him as a little lover . ”
Shao Qingge smiled . “So do you need a gold master? Not one that raises you as a lover . The type that only gives you money . ”
Ye Qi froze . “What does that mean?”
Shao Qingge put away his joking tone and spoke seriously . “I am the boss of a fund company in reality . I started from scratch but actually, I am a rich second generation with a relatively wide network . Otherwise, my business wouldn’t have gone so smoothly . ”
Ye Qi looked contemptuous . “Can a rich second generation start something from scratch?”
“I really didn’t ask my parents for money . The start-up funds were from a loan I got . Later, after several rounds of financing, the company grew bigger and became available to be listed . I originally planned to go public at the end of the year… why am I telling you this? You don’t understand . ”
Ye Qi nodded . “I don’t understand . However, it sounds great that it is going public!”
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly before smiling . “Then I’ll say something you can understand . Star Factory Recording Company, do you know it?”
Ye Qi’s eyes lit up . “I know! This is the most famous record company in the circle . My idols and G.o.ddesses are all here! The singers are all powerful, there are many excellent songwriters and the most powerful producer, Teacher Zhou!”
Shao Qingge told him, “Their boss grew up with me since childhood . We are iron-clad buddies . ”
