Su Ting looked at him and said, "Go."
Lin Jin's figure gradually disappeared in the light until only a wisp of breath remained, which was gently caught by the depths of the dream and sent to that unknown other shore.
The room fell silent again, with only the distant chimes of the clock tower echoing softly.
The girl turned to look at Su Ting: "What about the next dream?"
Su Ting slowly raised his head, gazing at the other end of the crystal array, where a hazy green was quietly emerging—it was the alleyway of his childhood, the bluestone slabs, and…
A familiar figure.
The little girl's figure flashed by in the halo of light, leaving only a series of footsteps and a faint laugh.
Do you still remember the paper airplane from that year?
Su Ting paused for a moment, then her voice suddenly choked with emotion: "I remember... that was your favorite."
The girl blinked: "Then come with me."
She leaped lightly into the vortex of light, her form dissipating within it.
Su Ting took a deep breath, lifted his foot, and stepped into the depths of that dream.
The screen suddenly shook violently, and the colors before my eyes changed abruptly.
They arrived in a small town that felt both familiar and strange—rows of low, old buildings lined both sides of the street, clotheslines crisscrossed overhead, children ran and laughed below, and paper airplanes streaked across the sky, landing on someone's head.
A gentle breeze lifted the curtains, and in front of an old house, a little girl was squatting on the ground, carefully folding a paper airplane.
Another boy sat next to him, holding a pencil, doodling and muttering something.
The girl gently took Su Ting's hand: "Look, they're still waiting."
Su Ting nodded, his voice trembling slightly: "Let's go in."
They stepped through the half-open door, and from behind it came the sound of children's laughter:
"Brother Su, you're daydreaming again! I folded this toy specially for you! It can't be too slow!"
The boy looked up, smiling, and handed over the paper airplane: "Are you ready? We're about to take off."
The girl gently took Su Ting's hand: "She has been waiting for you for a long time."
Su Ting looked at that smiling face, her lips trembling slightly: "...I'm here."
At that very moment, the dream began to unfold.
The paper airplane was blown by the wind, soaring across the sky of childhood, passing through the mists of time, like a ray of hope, slowly gliding through countless sleeping dreams.
Beyond the clock tower, another aura of dream awakening soared into the sky—
"Brother Su!"
"I've finally... waited for you."
Chapter 1183 What Do You Know?
A gentle breeze stirred the sheer curtains by the window, and the warm afternoon sun shone on the wooden table, the pencil, and the nimble hands. The girl was intently folding a paper airplane, a small smile playing on her lips, her eyes full of anticipation.
The boy sat beside her, tilting his head as he watched her fold paper, his fingers scribbling on the draft paper. Suddenly, he stopped writing, looked at the girl, and smiled, "Lin Yin, your paper airplane won't fly far."
The girl retorted defiantly, "What do you know? This is a specially made model that I've practiced for a long time. It can fly over rooftops!"
"Flying high isn't impressive; you have to fly into the clouds," the boy said confidently.
Lin Yin turned to look at him, her eyes twinkling mischievously: "Then I'll let you see for yourself just how far it can fly."
She got up, placed the paper airplane in the breeze by the window, and gently pushed it.
The plane took off against the wind, drawing a graceful arc, passing through narrow gaps between buildings, over clotheslines, and soaring straight into the blue sky amidst the children's exclamations.
"Look!" she turned around, her face beaming with pride.
The boy simply looked at her quietly, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "You're always like this."
"What's wrong with me?" Lin Yin frowned, puzzled.
“I always believed that dreams could fly as far as they could.” He lowered his head, picked up his pencil again, and quickly drew a house on the paper, then a kite and a paper airplane. “You said that one day, we could fly up to the sky and see the world.”
Lin Yin walked to his side, looked at the contents of the painting, and a soft light appeared in her eyes: "I never said I was going to fly alone, we have to go together."
She reached out her little hand and grabbed his wrist: "You said we'd build a big house over there on the other side of the mountain, with windows where we can see the stars every day."
"I remember," the boy answered softly, but his eyes were somewhat dazed.
Su Ting stood on the edge of the dream, looking at everything so familiar, his heart pounding. His gaze was fixed on the little boy's face, a shadow from the depths of his memory, the boy who had once smiled and told him, "We will never be apart"—Lin Che.
The girl beside him spoke softly: "Look, they're still the same."
“But… he already…” Su Ting murmured, but choked up.
“Dreams will preserve their most beautiful images for us.” The girl looked at the two children deep in the dream. “And you are the one who must remember them.”
Lin Yin's clear voice carried on the wind: "Lin Che, come and see! This plane is flying so high!"
Lin Che got up, walked to the window, and watched the departing plane, his gaze drifting into the distance: "Do you think... people can really stay together forever? No matter how long?"
Lin Yin nodded: "Of course, haven't we always been together?"
Lin Che said softly, "But one day I might go far away, will you remember me?"
"Are you an idiot?" Lin Yin glared at him. "You're my best friend, how could I not remember!"
Lin Che smiled, a smile that rippled softly in the light and shadow.
“Then I’ll write a letter and hide it in your favorite secret tree hollow,” he said earnestly. “If you forget me, open it.”
Lin Yin didn't take it to heart, and laughingly grabbed his hand, running towards the door: "Hurry up, we still have to fly the next flight!"
Chapter 1184 Memories Hidden in the Heart
The scene shifted slightly, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Su Ting was already in tears.
“He really…remembers me,” Su Ting murmured. “Even in his dreams, he remembers me.”
The girl looked at him and asked softly, "Do you want to go and see? Go and see the promise you once made, and the memory you kept in your heart."
Su Ting nodded and slowly walked towards the door.
However, the moment he stepped into the dream, the scene suddenly darkened, the wind suddenly became violent, and the entire memory seemed to be distorted by some kind of impact.
The familiar little town instantly blurred into fragments, the outline of the paper airplane was torn to shreds, and the child's laughter came to an abrupt end.
The girl turned around abruptly, her expression hardening: "Someone... is pulling away this memory."
"Who?" Su Ting's heart tightened.
“It’s not human,” the girl’s voice turned low. “It’s a nightmare.”
A dark shadow silently spread in the distance, like a crack in a dream, devouring all the beautiful scenes.
Lin Yin's figure began to fade in the light and shadow, her smile gradually froze, while Lin Che stood by the window and slowly turned his head.
He looked at Su Ting, his eyes no longer bright, but deep as night: "You shouldn't have come, Su Ting."
"You are not Lin Che!" Su Ting roared.
A strange smile appeared on "Lin Che's" lips as he whispered, "I am just a shadow he left behind."
“Lin Che—” the girl’s voice trembled, “has had a part of his memory stolen and become part of the nightmare.”
"I'm bringing him back!" Su Ting strode forward.
The girl held his arm tightly: "You must remember, this is not the real him. The nightmare is using the bond between you to pull you into deeper darkness."
“I know,” Su Ting said through gritted teeth, “but I can’t watch him disappear.”
The girl was silent for a few seconds, then gently let go: "Then I'll stay with you."
"Lin Che, do you remember?" Su Ting shouted, "You said we would always be together!"
The dark figure paused for a moment, but then let out a low, cold laugh: "Heh, then why did you leave me all alone?"
The screen jolted, and the space in the dream began to crumble, with darkness surging in from all directions.
The girl warned in a low voice, "The nightmare is amplifying his obsession, we need to think of something!"
Su Ting gritted his teeth, and light flowed in his hand, condensing into a dream sword.
"Lin Che, I've come to find you!" His voice was unwavering. "I will not give up even if it's just a trace of you."
The shadowy figure sneered, "Then come on."
Just then, the girl suddenly reached out and flicked her wrist, and a paper airplane slowly appeared in her hand, gently floating towards the shadowy figure: "This paper airplane that you once folded yourself was a gift from you to him."
The shadowy figure froze.
The paper airplane gently brushed against its chest, a fleeting, tender, yet indelible fragment of memory.
"Lin Yin...is she still...waiting for me?" The shadowy figure's voice suddenly trembled.
At that moment, Su Ting suddenly rushed out: "She's waiting for you to come home."
