Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 323 Two Wishes
【Zhuang Jing: Asleep?】

【Gu Ran: Not yet. Did it disturb your sleep? 】

[Zhuang Jing: Your message is a special reminder, because it is necessary to wake up and check it even if you are sleeping. You did a good job.]

[Zhuang Jing: Also, don’t sleep. Work hard for a while. When you come back tonight, put the Buddha bones into the Blooming Heaven.]

[Gu Ran: Are you worried that I dreamed about the Mythical Highway? And brought the Buddha's bones directly into it? But I'm not sure about the nature of this dream.]

[Zhuang Jing: Just in case]

[Gu Ran: Okay]

Looking at the time again, it was 3:22. Since he was not going to sleep, Gu Ran just left the bed - he wanted the bed to be only associated with sleeping, which was like teaching a dog to remember that 'taking the leash means going out for a walk'.

I put on my clothes and walked out of the room. The lights in the yard were on all night.

A tungsten filament lamp, with a random wire tied to it, was hanging on a rack in the middle of the yard.

In this autumn morning, the warm yellow light gives people a warm feeling.

Gu Ran thought of his hometown, where there was such a lamp on his desk - a piece of furniture given by a family after someone died.

The lamp was very dim, and the simple electrical wires had to be placed in a correct position. If there was anything wrong, it would go on strike and had to be carefully tended to.

Gu Ran took care of the electrical wires like this until he graduated from junior high school and lived in the high school dormitory. Whenever he saw those normal electrical wires, he felt curious and happy.

Although the lighting gave people a warm feeling, the actual weather was a bit cool.

Gu Ran didn't care. He wiped the thin layer of dew on the chair, sat down, and opened the book "There is a Radar in My Head" in his hand.

He was so absorbed in watching that when he noticed Chen Ke, Chen Ke was already behind him, posing to watch with him.

"When did you come?"

"Thirty minutes ago." Chen Ke smiled and walked towards another chair.

"I haven't even been here for thirty minutes!" Gu Ran also laughed, "Can't sleep?"

"Not used to it." Chen Ke sat down and stood up quickly.

"Your butt is wet?" Gu Ran laughed softly.

"You didn't even remind me!" Chen Ke scolded with a smile.

There seemed to be a heart beating in his lower abdomen. After a moment of silence, Gu Ran said, "It's cold outside. Do you want to go to my room?"

Chen Ke's expression was still calm, but her body movements betrayed her - she kept stroking her butt, as if that could brush away the dew like brushing away dust.

".good."

Gu Ran closed the book "There's a Radar in My Head" and stood up. The warmth in his abdomen became stronger and his heart beat louder too.

The two walked into the room, and Gu Ran subconsciously turned on the light, then turned it off again.

Chen Ke looked away and did not comment on whether the lights were turned on or off.

With the help of moonlight and memory, Gu Ran put the book on the desk and slowly walked towards Chen Ke.

There seemed to be an invisible burning fire in the room, sucking away all the oxygen in the room. The two people, foreheads against forehead, had to take deep breaths to get enough oxygen.

Chen Ke's body is light and flexible.

Gu Ran is full of energy.

Both of them were restrained yet carefree.

They went to the museum that day and only visited this place.

While eating.

"This is the first time I've actually felt the length of Chinese history." Gege's feet ached from exhaustion. "What will people do thousands of years from now? It might take four or five days just to go to a museum. Will humans still study history by then?"

"I've been curious about this question, too." An Yao said, "Not only history, but also all kinds of knowledge. Nowadays, PhD graduates are around 30 years old. Do we have to study until we are 40 to learn all the knowledge currently available to mankind, and then be able to innovate?"

"Maybe it will be like psychology, with different subjects starting from junior high school?" said Chen Ke.

"Do you want to share Keke? I want the head." Fei Xiaoxiao was so tired that she was talking nonsense.

"Gu Ran must want his lower body, right?" He Qingyan smiled.

"It seems you are not tired yet." Gu Ran said.

After dinner, they went to the train station, ready to take the high-speed train back to Haicheng. Fei Xiaoxiao didn't leave. She had a court appointment tomorrow afternoon, so she planned to go back to her home in the countryside tonight, then return to Nancheng in the morning and return to Haicheng in the evening.

"I hope I didn't disturb you at work?" Su Qing said apologetically when they parted.

"No way." Fei Xiaoxiao didn't care. "If I can't have fun like this, what's the point of my work? Next time there is such an event, you must invite me."

"Okay." Su Qing said with a smile.

"Don't lose in court." Chen Ke said.

"As long as the opposing lawyer doesn't call me 'little beauty', I won't lose!"

There is a story here.

During one court session, the opposing lawyer kept saying, "Wait a minute, little beauty, let me finish what I'm saying." As a result, Fei Xiaoxiao lost that time.

Chen Ke and the others didn't know why they lost, but Fei Xiaoxiao was convinced that she had been deceived by sweet words!

In response, the psychologists could only smile ambiguously and dotingly - Fei Xiaoxiao blushed with embarrassment.

It was a second-class seat when coming here and it was also a second-class seat when going back. Su Qing didn't read a book and fell asleep leaning against Gu Ran.

Gu Ran and He Qingyan continued watching the movie, this time it was the Japanese animation "Your Name" which was said to be very famous.

When the heroine was dancing, He Qingyan, whose head was leaning on Gu Ran, suddenly put her nose close to him and took a deep sniff.

Gu Ran's heartbeat accelerated.

"I like your smell." He Qingyan said.

"It's just the smell of sweat after running around in the museum." Gu Ran said.

"The smell of sweat is also your smell." He Qingyan sniffed again.

Gu Ran was a little eager to do something, but he didn't think he was special. Twenty-year-olds should be so energetic.

The train arrived in Nancheng and everyone returned to Jinghai together.

"Keke, come to my house tonight?" Su Qing invited. "You should have brought clothes and pajamas. Go back and wash them, and you can wear them tomorrow."

"Fei Fei is not at home either. It's not safe for you to go back alone." He Qingyan also said.

"Hmm" Chen Ke hesitated.

"Gu Ran, say something too." He Qingyan looked at the only male.

What should Gu Ran say about this?
First, so far, that is not his home; second, that is his girlfriend Su Qing’s home.

"Sorry to bother you." Before Gu Ran could hesitate, Chen Ke spoke with a smile.

"Tsk tsk." He Qingyan smiled and made a teasing sound, making fun of Chen Ke's thoughtfulness.

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled, thinking it was funny, and then she suddenly came to her senses.

She let He Qingyan lean on Gu Ran's shoulder, and she also thought Chen Ke was caring and funny towards Gu Ran. What's wrong with her?
If she didn't care about Gu Ran, that would be fine, but the key was that she cared, so she was subtly influenced by He Qingyan.

The nickname Gu Ran gave was indeed correct: witch.

Of course, at this time Su Qing had forgotten her title.

Gu Ran, Su Qing, He Qingyan, and Chen Ke drove the blue BMW down the mountain and returned to {Longing Villa} together.

Neither Zhuang Jing nor Yan Hanxiang showed much enthusiasm for Chen Ke's arrival. They just smiled and asked if there was anything he wanted to eat in the evening.

This attitude actually made Chen Ke feel relaxed.

"How do you feel after two days of rest?" Zhuang Jing asked Gu Ran at the dining table.

"The effect seems to be quite good." Gu Ran thought carefully and recalled, "I didn't think much about the 'time tunnel'."

He stared at An Yao almost the whole time, paying attention to her thoughts. He knew exactly when she wanted to go to the bathroom - I wonder what An Yao would think if she knew.

Zhuang Jing smiled and said, "I'm not asking An Yao, I'm asking you. We have to continue the experiment next."

"Remember to come to my office at noon every day." Yan Hanxiang also said.

"Always be prepared!" Gu Ran spoke in a high-spirited tone, and held his head and chest high, showing that he was in good health and full of energy.

He didn't feel tired at all. He couldn't tell whether it was because he was twenty years old and had good physical strength, or because of [Parapsychology·The Heart Sutra of Controlling Women].

After dinner, Su Qing and He Qingyan took Chen Ke to the third floor. They didn't look like they were going there to study.

Gu Ran went to Zhuang Jing's study, and Yan Hanxiang was there too.

"Tell us again about your dream and what happened during the day." Zhuang Jing said.

"Okay." Gu Ran talked about everything that happened before he dreamed of Sakyamuni, including He Qingyan watching "The Secret Life" on the high-speed train.

Yan Hanxiang just smiled and shook her head. "What do you think?" After listening, Zhuang Jing asked Yan Hanxiang.

"I think that what you think about during the day you dream about at night, plus Gu Ran is a little anxious, so he has these dreams." Yan Hanxiang said in a relaxed tone, "I am a firm materialist and I only believe in science."

However, Gu Ran felt that she was not a scientific potion master at all.

"You little brat, you look like you don't believe me. Are you looking for death?" Yan Hanxiang saw through what Gu Ran was thinking at a glance.

Gu Ran was a little shy and embarrassed.

In [Peking University Dream], the eighteen-year-old Yan Hanxiang also likes to say "Are you looking for death?"

Zhuang Jing smiled and said, "My point of view is the same as Han Xiang's, but I am not a complete materialist. I believe that Gu Ran has a certain ability to make his dreams come true in his dreams."

"Dreams can come true, but they can't come true in dreams." Yan Hanxiang said.

"Real illusion." Zhuang Jing muttered to himself, his thoughts seemed to drift far away.

The next moment she came back to her senses and said, "Let's go to the Blooming Heaven first and see if we can put the Buddha's bones in there."

There was also a quiet room in the study. The three of them lay down, with Gu Ran sleeping in the middle, which took him three seconds longer to fall asleep.

It is night on the hillside where flowers are in full bloom, and the bright stars dot the night sky, which makes people feel open-minded and forget their worries. They just want to lie on the hillside and think about nothing and do nothing.

Gu Ran held it up with both hands and told himself to "summon the Buddha's bones."

"Will it succeed?" Yan Hanxiang crossed her arms.

"No matter whether it succeeds or not, we have to try," said Zhuang Jing.

The next moment, the two masters held their breath: above Gu Ran’s hands, the dream of the Buddha’s true bone emerged.

Then, the three of them came to the [Wild Grass Plain].

"What's going on?" Gu Ran asked subconsciously.

Zhuang Jing and Yan Hanxiang were also surprised.

The Buddha's true bone flew into the sky, and then began to grow golden flesh and blood, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a 7.9-meter-tall golden statue.

The barren grass plain was thoroughly illuminated, the bone-white moonlight became clear, a gentle breeze blew across the grassland, the dead silence turned to tranquility, and the horror turned to novelty.

In this world that is full of vitality because of the Buddha's light, there is still a mass of darkness. Not only does it not disappear because of the Buddha's light, but it seems to be stimulated and awakened.

Gu Ran's eyebrows were twitching, and a wisp of black air escaped.

The next moment, all the Buddha's light disappeared, no, it was restrained, and everything returned to its original state.

The darkness was like a giant beast that was about to wake up, but then fell into deep sleep again.

"Thank you, benefactor." said Sakyamuni, who had retracted his light.

Not to mention Gu Ran, at this moment, Zhuang Jing and Yan Hanxiang didn't know what to say.

Shakyamuni smiled and said, "As a reward, I wanted to give you a village so that you can live in your dreams, and give you some clarity so that you will not get lost in your dreams. Now I see that you will have your own village sooner or later, and clarity...Your talent is extraordinary, but it's a pity that you are not interested in cultivation.

"As compensation, you can make two wishes. I have recovered. You can ask for anything that a saint can do and does not violate the rules of the winner."

There are two basic requirements for a psychologist.

First, don’t trust mentally ill people;
Second, don’t take dreams seriously.

So Gu Ran’s answer was: “No, thank you.”

——If Zhuang Jing was not present, he would have said this.

With Zhuang Jing present, Gu Ran of course looked at Zhuang Jing and waited for her instructions, just like the earth follows the sun.

"Would you like to try it?" Yan Hanxiang said with a smile.

When she said try, she didn't mean to simply make a wish, but to try something bigger.

Zhuang Jing, who was originally in deep thought, smiled after hearing this. She looked at Gu Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, please ask the Buddha to fulfill your biggest dream."

".May I?"

"Yeah." Zhuang Jing nodded with a smile.

Gu Ran should have told Zhuang Jing about his biggest dream, but he felt that letting this matter get away with it might not be a bad thing.

"Buddha." Gu Ran said, "If you are really Buddha, you should know what my greatest wish is. Please make it come true."

"Your greatest wish is to fulfill Zhuang Jing's wish."

No!

It is to pause Aunt Jing’s youth. No, not only Aunt Jing, but also Aunt Xiang, and the future Su Qing and all of them!

Gu Ran cried out in his heart.

But while he was shouting, there was a calm self deep in his heart telling him that his dream was to realize Zhuang Jing's dream.

"Due to the rules of the winner, there is a limit to what I can do." The Buddha said, "I bless the 'Black Dragon' and leave a lotus seed. When the lotus blooms, it will be the moment when you fully understand the dream. The lotus will wither, leaving behind a lotus pod with nine lotus seeds. Each lotus seed represents a portion of the power of the dream, and you can share it for consumption."

Gu Ran had a feeling somewhere.

He looked into the distance and saw a black bird lifting the heavy veil of night and landing on his shoulder.

Zhuang Jing raised her hand, and there was a lotus seed in her palm. The lotus seed was suspended in the air, immersed in the rippling void, and a little sprout emerged.

The young bud has only one petal, and it is fresh green.

The shape of the seeds and sprouts looks like a duck with its webbed feet folded.

"Just that little?" Yan Hanxiang was surprised.

They are masters who have been studying dreams. Now with Gu Ran joining the team, their exploration of dreams has only just begun.

"There is a second wish." said the Buddha.

Gu Ran really wanted to say to the Buddha, "That, that, is that wish," but the Buddha just smiled, as if he had lost the ability to read minds!

Then, the next sentence Zhuang Jing said made Gu Ran realize that the Buddha really could read minds, so he did not fulfill his urgent wish.

Zhuang Jing said:

"Master the Black Dragon Dream." She reminded Gu Ran.

Gu Ran suddenly realized, and he hurriedly looked at the Buddha. At this time, he was worried that the Buddha would fulfill the wish he had wanted to fulfill before.

As long as he can master the [Black Dragon Dream], he can completely rely on the [Heart Sutra of Controlling Women] to pause Zhuang Jing's youth. In addition, he can use the [Black Dragon Dream] to do many things!
Can you master the Black Dragon Dream?

Be it Gu Ran, Zhuang Jing, Su Qing, He Qingyan and the others, they all dreamed of this day.

No matter how difficult it is, or even when you think it’s impossible, the Buddha only says: “It’s done.”

The 7.9-meter golden body turned into a round sun and slowly rose into the sky.

"Buddha, where are you going?" Gu Ran asked subconsciously.

"Go far away and continue to look for good fortune."

"What is destiny?"

“A saint can do anything, but he cannot create another saint. I think the power that can create a saint is fate.”

The round sun disappeared, and the barren grass plain returned to its dead silence and darkness, like drawing the blackout curtains on a sunny noon, making the room dark and pitch dark.

Before Gu Ran could come to his senses, they were back to the [Spiritual World·Blooming Paradise].

The black bird was still on Gu Ran's shoulder.

"We haven't entered the spiritual world, but are in a dream, dreaming, right?" Even Yan Hanxiang couldn't imagine this series of changes.

"I'm not dreaming." Zhuang Jing looked at the lotus seeds with tender sprouts in her hand with a dazed look.

Gu Ran's heart beat faster and he had difficulty breathing.

If this is true, then he has gained the ability to dream whenever he wants, which means that his plan is about to enter the final step - helping Zhuang Jing pause her youth.

《Private Diary》: October 11, Sunday, from Nancheng to Haicheng

Went to the museum.

Gege said that the history was too long, but in fact they spent quite a while taking photos in the Republic of China Pavilion.

In the past, I always had a feeling that history was a legend, or another world. Only when I walked into a museum and looked at the things of the ancients did I feel a sense of reality, and thought: Ah, time has indeed come step by step to today, and it did not start from the time I was born.

When I think about it this way, I feel how insignificant individuals are. Life is just a dream after all, and everyone will die one day.

The Buddha seemed real.

I'm a little worried, will I die?
