Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 69: Different Dreams in the Same Room
There would be nothing wrong with anyone else asking this question, but it was strange when Pei Yizhou asked it.

Although so many things happened in the past two days that it seemed as if twenty-four hours had turned into twenty-four days, she had not forgotten that not long ago he had pushed her on the bed and proposed to her.

Isn't it weird to ask her now if she wants to be with another man?

She was afraid that if she answered incorrectly, she would be put in a sack and taken to the rooftop to commit suicide before bed.

"You think too much," she said without turning her head, "You two are just making my life a mess now."

After saying that, she slammed the door without caring about his reaction.

There was a door between them, so she relaxed a lot, ruffled her hair, chanted a spell to purify her mind and went into the bathroom.

She needs to go to bed early recently, and she hopes to create sleeping conditions that are conducive to dreaming, so that she can dream about some fragments of dreams at night.

Whether it’s the forgotten two years or the scenes of getting along with Duan Chengyu, it’s all fine.

With this thought in mind, she washed up before ten o'clock, went to bed, covered herself with the quilt, and began to think of the names of Pei Yizhou and Duan Chengyu in her mind.

It’s like a lottery, hoping to win one.

But she ate too much skewers for dinner and felt a little bloated. She didn’t even have a dream and woke up in the middle of the night.

I woke up and wanted to turn over, but unexpectedly my hand touched a hot body first.

Lin Lu's half-conscious brain reacted for a moment, then he let out a short scream, supported himself on the bed with his backhand, stepped back, and kicked forward.

"what!"

The person next to the bed was kicked in the shoulder and fell backwards without any preparation.

Her scalp tingled and she quickly turned on the bedside lamp, and saw Governor Pei Yi sitting on the ground with his arms and legs stretched out.

"…What on earth are you doing! You're going crazy again after being fine for so long?!" She grabbed the pillow and threw it at him.

Pei Yizhou caught the pillow and explained in a low voice without being as nervous as before: "I'm sorry. I just wanted to protect you."

The voice was hoarse and the feeling of fatigue was unavoidable in the darkness.

Lin Lu was annoyed: "Do I need to guard? I won't be stimulated and I won't sleepwalk and go crazy!"

Pei Yizhou admitted frankly: "Well, I lied. It's me who needs to stay with you for a while."

Without waiting for her to scold him again, he continued, "I have suffered from insomnia for a long time, Lulu. Just now, leaning against your bedside was the only time I fell asleep peacefully in the past few days."

"Then you are quite suitable for the job of accompanying the patient in the hospital. Go back to your room." She glared at him with a cold face.

"Let me stay a little longer. I can stay away from you." Pei Yizhou put the thrown pillow on his knees, rubbed his forehead against it, and spoke in a low voice, "Only here can I smell you."

"Am I a famous person who only responds to soft words and not to hard ones? You can't sleep without my scent. It's time for you to rest in peace these years." She was like a vigilant sika deer, ready to kick her hoof to chase people away at any time.

Pei Yizhou closed his eyes and spoke in a whisper: "Haven't you seen how I sleep? When I'm drunk, there's no need to look for the smell. You're all in my dreams."

Lin Lu suddenly became quiet.

"This is all your plan. You just want to stay in my room." After a while, she pursed her lips and said.

"Well, my plan."

"You want me to pity you."

"Yes, I want you to pity me."

"But you are no longer the brother. It is dangerous to leave a big man in the room."

"It's okay," Pei Yizhou's voice became even lower. "I took some medicine before I came here, and I will fall asleep soon."

There were two small holes on Lin Lu's heart, and the liquid that flowed out was stuck in his chest.

She didn't say anything for a long while, then stood up and lay on her side, moved a quilt over and threw it on the ground, turned off the light with a cold face, and turned over to not face him. Pei Yizhou opened his eyes in the dark, his eyes tracing the vague bulge on the bed.

He was still so soft-hearted. He couldn't trust anyone with it, so it had to be his.

He sighed silently, lay down and smelled the fragrance on the pillow, and his tense and painful nerves seemed to be soothed.

Lin Lu covered her head with the quilt, thinking angrily that Pei Yizhou was so shameless. With him in the room, it was difficult for her to sleep, let alone dream.

As a result, she not only fell asleep quickly, but also had dreams quickly.

However, he did not dream about Pei Yizhou of the past, but about Duan Chengyu.

Still in Antarctica, she ran panting, her throat cut by the cold wind and bleeding, and she shouted at the vague black shadow in front of her, but to no avail, and soon she fell into the crack of the ice.

The pain of the impact, the freezing sensation of falling into the icy water, and seemingly some noisy voices.

It was similar to her previous dream, but the background seemed blurred. She felt like she was trapped in ice water, screaming and struggling silently.

The three words "Duan Chengyu" were washed into her throat by the ice water, swallowed, and digested in her stomach.
-
In the dark night, a figure convulsed for a few seconds and woke up in sweat.

Duan Chengyu propped himself up and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed to relax, then opened his cell phone to check the time.

It's only half past five.

Putting the phone back, he pinched his brows and pressed them, recalling the scene in his dream just now——

In Antarctica, a huge crack swallowed up a life in the blink of an eye. He knelt on the ice and shouted loudly, but the world was so vast that there was not even a hint of echo.

When I closed my eyes, I could still seem to see Lin Lu’s frightened expression as he fell farther and farther into the crack, until it blurred into a black dot.

I finally dreamed of Antarctica, but I didn’t expect the dream to be so tragic. I don’t know how Lin Lu endured it before.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Duan Chengyu threw off the quilt, got out of bed and took a shower. After showering, he waited for dawn in front of the window.

By the way, think about dreams.

It is known that Lin Lu went to Antarctica in the winter of his twentieth year, that is, in 2017, and then disappeared.

Seven years later, she forgot her memories between the ages of 2024 and , traveled back to , and began to have dreams about him.

After sorting it out, we can come up with three points worth exploring:

First, did Lin Lu travel to Antarctica? He should not be alone. Something special must have happened on the day he disappeared.

Second, she only forgot the memories of those two years, and there is a high probability that that memory also had something special in it.

Third, after disappearing in Antarctica, did she really go to a parallel world, meet another him and spend seven years with him? Can she remember the whole process?

The third point is a bit difficult to explore, so it seems that we can only investigate the first two questions first.

At seven o'clock, Duan Chengyu drove to the company, called the newly recruited domestic market general agent, and asked about the relevant information of Linzhou Technology.

"Linzhou Technology specializes in polar rescue. Do you know how Mr. Pei got started? I mean, is there any touching story?"

The general agent glanced at the small wounds on his face and neck, then turned his gaze away and said in a serious tone, "I haven't heard of it, but I have heard that Mr. Pei goes to Antarctica for one or two months every year."

"The boss is going to the front line to search for the bodies of the victims himself?" Duan Chengyu's smile was light and cold.

"I'm not sure, but everyone guesses that he must have family members or friends who died in Antarctica, otherwise he wouldn't make this trip every year to pay tribute to them."

Duan Chengyu's eyebrows twitched.

Suppose Lin Lu went to Antarctica with Pei Yizhou, but something happened and Lin Lu disappeared. Pei Yizhou was unable to find her, so he established Linzhou Technology and went to look for her body every year. Considering Pei Yizhou's unusual possessiveness of Lin Lu...

Can it be assumed that what Lin Lu forgot was everything about Pei Yizhou, or even that she forgot that her relationship with Pei Yizhou went beyond that of brother and sister?
