Chapter 109 Awakening from Dream
When Lin Lu woke up, it was dark outside.

After having a very long dream, her body was like a frozen cicada shell, with only her consciousness stirring between waking and not waking up.

I opened my eyes a little in a daze, and saw a tall figure sitting in front of the bed. If I was not mistaken, he was peeling an apple.

The rustling sound was obvious in the quiet ward, and it seemed that no one had noticed that she had woken up.

The apple was peeled and the hand handed it to her.

Lin Lu wasn't fully awake yet, but relying on his obedient and sensible instinct, he almost felt flattered and wanted to reach out to take it.

The word thank you was circling on my lips.

Then the apple was handed to her right side, and a beautiful and lively face appeared, and she took a bite in this posture.

Ling Jiangyue chewed and chewed, frowned and said, "It's not delicious."

Lin Zheng stretched out his hand with a normal expression and caught the apple residue she spit out.

Then Ling Jiangyue slid down from the right side of the bed, walked around Lin Zheng, snatched the second bite of the apple from his mouth, and sneered.

Zhan Yan stood on the other side with his hands folded, looking at them expressionlessly.

Lin Lu: ...Is this really official? Did anyone notice that she was waking up?

"She's awake." Ling Jiangyue said this first before turning around lazily, staring at Lin Lu with boredom in her amber eyes.

"You look like a pile of zombie meat. Do you need my help?"

Lin Lu mouthed the words with difficulty: "...Thank you, thank you."

Ling Jiangyue pretended to touch her hand and said like a spell: "Thaw it, thaw it, melt it faster."

...So childish. Not only can it not compare to science fiction movies, but even the cartoons that primary school students watch are not so direct.

But the magical thing was that she really felt her whole body starting to heat up, as if the cicada was slowly merging back into its original shell.

"Okay, the thawing is complete," Ling Jiangyue retracted her hand and turned to Zhan Yan to open her palm, "I'm done, give me the money."

Zhan Yan: "Can you give me a discount? They originally came to you, and you are also a family member of the organization..."

"He's taking advantage of me being with him, and you're taking advantage of me being able to help. You're taking advantage of me and you're using that as an excuse to get a discount. You'd better be careful that you save money but don't spend it."

“…Give it to me! I’ll give it to you!”

"Hurry up, if your arm is numb, I can help with some adrenaline."

"You should stop here. After I pay you, can you give me three free hypnosis treatments? That way she won't come looking for me again after dreaming about your name."

"It's really annoying. I won't do it again."

They were talking in mumbles, totally ignoring Lin Lu's presence.

She was half asleep and half awake, and couldn't hear clearly. In her trance, she had only one strange question: Shouldn't Ling Jiangyue be in her twenties? Why did she seem to be still eighteen years old like her...

Then Ling Jiangyue walked up to her again and covered her eyes without saying a word.

"Repeat after me."

"You disappeared in Antarctica and broke into a scientific research base. After being rescued by the government, you received a long period of treatment and investigation until you were confirmed to be safe and transferred back to Haishi."

"You had a dream. You dreamed about traveling through parallel worlds and Duan Chengyu. It was all fake. It was just a dream. You just lost your memory. The drugs caused your brain to become confused, but it will be put right soon."

"Just get some sleep and you'll be fine."

"Just get some sleep and you'll be fine."

"Very good, good human."

With a snap of his fingers, Lin Lu closed his eyes and fell into coma again.

—

The weather in April is warm and it is the most comfortable time to sleep.

The quilt was neither too thick nor too thin, and it felt light and fluffy when wrapped around her. The air in the room was flowing freely, quiet and dim, and her thoughts, like a tide, settled in such a calm pond, and gradually sank to the bottom in stillness. Lin Lu had a good sleep, and when she woke up, her body felt light.

Turning my head slightly, I saw Pei Yizhou leaning on the bed.

He didn't look in good condition and frowned habitually when he was resting. The shadow of his eyelashes made his tiredness even worse.

Probably because I've been taking care of her in the ward.

They are the only ones here, just like they have been relying on each other for many years, without any help from others and no one can interfere.

She looked for a while, then turned her gaze from Pei Yizhou's face to the outside.

A nurse was pushing a cart passing by in the corridor, a bird was flapping its wings outside the window, and other patients were chatting as they passed by...a very everyday scene.

The people who had appeared in the ward before were like a dream in a coma. After waking up, everything disappeared and her life remained normal and ordinary.

It was everything she could accept and was familiar with.

"Brother." She had watched enough and pushed gently.

Pei Yizhou woke up from his trance and immediately bent down to touch her face.

"Awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? How do you feel?"

"Not bad." She moved, reached out to press the hand on her face, and rubbed it with her eyes closed.

Pei Yizhou was stunned and gave up checking the various green light instruments on the bedside. He moved his eyes from their folded hands to her face.

"Lulu?" he called tentatively.

"Well," Lin Lu's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still didn't open her eyes. Her cheek was against his palm, and she complained softly, "The smell of disinfectant here is so strong. I want to go home."

There were no special words in the conversation, but that kind of habitual dependence was like a thin needle. Others might not be able to feel it, but to Pei Yizhou it was so obvious that it seemed to pierce his heart.

"…Okay, let's go home."

Pei Yizhou felt that his voice should be calm, because he had imagined similar scenes countless times during the time when Lin Lu was unconscious.

Lin Lu remembered their past and was willing to get close to him again and return to their past intimate relationship.

But the voice seemed to tremble in his ears. The joy of his dream coming true and the pain that came later intertwined into an emotion so complex that it was difficult to describe. He opened his mouth, but could not say anything else.

He could only smile awkwardly, restraining himself from placing a kiss on her forehead, then kissing her eyebrows, nose, lips, and burying his head in her neck.

Hot tears dripped on Lin Lu's neck.

Lin Lu didn't say anything. Like many times in the past, she put her arms around him, threading her fingers through his hair and stroking it gently.

No one disturbed this moment of reunion.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the driver, who had been doing nothing for many days, received a call to go to the hospital and met his boss who had not been seen for some time.

And the boss's sister.

After seeing the people get in the car, the driver reported his work and said, "Assistant Yuan has just moved all your luggage from the apartment back to Tanghu Mansion. Now we are going back to..."

Before he could finish his words, the driver saw in the rearview mirror that his boss was hugging the person whom he had always claimed to be his sister through his coat, and he bent down to kiss her on the lips again and again.

Then he looked up and met the driver's eyes in the rearview mirror.

"...Now, are we going back to Tanghu Mansion now?" The driver immediately avoided his gaze and asked the second half of the question reluctantly.

Pei Yizhou nodded, hugged the soft Lin Lu, and kissed her on the top of her head again.

"I'll sleep with you again when we get home, okay?"

"Should I sleep with you?"

"Yes," he said with a smile in his voice, and I don't know what he was happy about, "You sleep with me."

Driver: ...Is this something I can listen to? Didn't she say she was my sister?

　I wish you all a happy new year! May you get what you want and make a fortune in the new year!
