Chapter 228 - Chen Yuanxi Seems to be Dreaming about Zhang Dong (1/2)

On the marshland, the foundation had been newly laid. In a short time, there would be many houses standing here.

Chen Yuanxi came there and sat down quietly, imagining how Zhang Dong fell under the gun of Hong Xuan that night.

Chen Yuanxi could not understand why Hong Xuan was so cruel to Zhang Dong before he died. He thought about it and suddenly thought it through. “Because he shouldn’t love me. He loves me, so his life has to pay the price.”

“If I were a girl, maybe Hong Xuan would have hijacked him to help us.”

But then he fell into a deeper confusion.

“Zhang Dong, why were you so stupid that you would rather die? Why didn’t you choose to agree to uncle Hong Xuan? You need to be flexible when it’s urgent. There would be a solution in the future! You have learned from me for more than two years, but you’re still as upright as Zheng Kai!”

Chen Yuanxi smiled bitterly and madly. He was lying in the sand outside the foundation, smiling. He forced himself to sleep. He hoped that he could dream of Zhang Dong.

He did dream of Zhang Dong.

What he dreamed was the night more than ten years ago. What he dreamed was Zhang Dong who was saying, “Attention! Stand at ease!” What he dreamed was the photo he was taken of when he suddenly slipped in front and then turned around.

He dreamed that he said while holding a dagger, “My life is yours.”

He dreamed that he clapped his chest with righteousness and said, “I’m Zhang Dong, arrogant Zhang Dong!”

He dreamed that being pointed by Hong Xuan’s gun, Zhang Dong slightly smiled, turned around, and disappeared from then on.

“The soul seems to enter the dream. Who is in front of the window? And who is dressing up?”

“If not, why haven’t I dreamed of you since then?”

“Wenxi, I think instructor Zhang was desperate,” said Gu Xi.

“Why was he desperate? Why?”

“Wenxi, have you really loved him? You wanted to be with him, because you wanted him to clean up his act to commute his sentence, or you really love him?” asked Gu Xi.

Chen Yuanxi shook his head.

“You don’t know? Wen Xi, I’m asking you, do you love Zhao Yuan? You needn’t answer, because I know your answer. But you said you don’t know whether you love Zhang Dong. Wenxi, I haven’t seen you for so many years, so that I can’t understand you,” said Gu Xi. Suddenly, he gave up and showed a compromised smile.

“Were you desperate? Do you think that you can walk away quietly in this way?”

“If there is a next life, I believe you and him will meet again. Then, are you willing to be a man or a woman?” Gu Xi had to say that to comfort Chen Yuanxi.

“I’d rather disappear completely and not beg for the next life from God! I’ve suffered a lot in this life. What should I do with the next life?” Chen Yuanxi said indifferently.

“If I can decide my own destiny, I will not let God send me to this fucking world!” Chen Yuanxi hammered his head painfully.

“I still hope to see what fate I will have and then decide how I will die,” Gu Xi smiled and said, “I hope that Zheng Kai will still be Zheng Kai in the next life. Wanxin won’t fall in love with others. I hope that I still will be his brother. That’s enough.”

Chen Yuanxi hugged Gu Xi. He knew that Gu Xi was happy, so Gu Xi was full of hope. He felt happy for Gu Xi, but his life had changed from a fairy tale to a joke.

Chen Yuanxi was sitting on the edge of the tallest building in the city and looking at the south. No one knew how he climbed up.

It was at dusk, but he was still sitting there. The setting sun made everything soft. Even those armored concrete and hard building shapes were inexplicably warm. It was another night, and another day had passed. Chen Yuanxi searched himself and found that he had smoked two packs of cigarettes. Suddenly, he was inexplicably held by someone from behind, and he was so scared that he failed to keep stable and almost fell down and died.
