Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

The two had a very pleasant time together.

However, perhaps he will have a better solution next time.

"I hope to get to know you again."

Lu Chengzhou gave his answer.

The young girl in front of him smiled slightly and nodded.

"it is good."

This smile gave Lu Chengzhou a slightly different feeling.

He sensed a hint of conspiracy, but he had no evidence.

Jiang Aiyu handed the dagger she always carried with her to Lu Chengzhou.

"So, this is a token of our love."

"Ok?"

"If I could live my life again, I would use this token to find you even faster."

"what?"

"Next time, I hope the teacher will be just for me."

"What...does this mean?"

Jiang Aiyu did not explain the meaning behind her words, but simply smiled, got up and left.

Of course, before leaving, she kept her promise and paid the bill.

Lu Chengzhou weighed the heavy dagger in his hand, feeling increasingly puzzled.

He hasn't made a formal choice yet, so why does Jiang Aiyu seem to know everything?

Could it be that the system gave her a backdoor?

Unfortunately, the system attached to him was not intelligent at all and did not answer his questions.

……

After leaving the coffee shop, Lu Chengzhou went to the school.

Xu Qian, a junior high school student, has a very full schedule of classes today.

However, after learning that Lu Chengzhou had taken the initiative to find her, she still decisively skipped class.

The two agreed to meet at the small playground next to the teaching building.

Xu Qian actually had a dream last night.

In my dream, I seemed to have arrived in an unfamiliar city.

Although she was still called Xu Qian in her dream, and her parents were still alive, she could clearly feel that the city in her dream was unfamiliar.

On an unfamiliar street, separated by a green belt and a wide road, she saw Lu Chengzhou, who had just come out of a coffee shop with a takeout coffee.

He was the only person in that unfamiliar city who didn't feel like a stranger to her.

Xu Qian immediately wanted to catch up with him, to call out to him, to throw herself into his arms and find the warmth she craved, but she couldn't grasp anything or say anything.

She woke up in a panic.

Upon waking, the dream did not become blurred over time; instead, the details became clearer.

"Senior, what are your plans for the future?"

Xu Qian really wanted to talk to her senior about this strange dream, but she didn't know where to begin.

So, he changed the subject and asked a rather unrelated question.

Lu Chengzhou thought for a moment and said, "In the future? In the future, of course, it will still be like now, just loafing around and waiting to die."

There was a joking element to that statement.

Hearing him say that, Xu Qian burst out laughing.

"The senior is really humorous."

"It's alright, the humor is only a little bit."

"Senior, um..."

"what?"

"Do you sometimes dream, senior? You mean, the kind of dream that feels really real."

"Oh, I think so."

Xu Qian paused slightly.

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "So, senior, do you think the stories in dreams can happen in reality?"

Lu Chengzhou had no idea what the meaning behind her words was.

However, adhering to the principle of coaxing young girls, he nodded.

"Perhaps the world in dreams is another real world."

"Yeah……?"

Hearing him say that, Xu Qian felt inexplicably happy.

If she were to arrive in a world where only she and Senior Lu existed, she would surely run to him without hesitation, just like in her dream.

Xu Qian still didn't talk to Lu Chengzhou about the specifics of the strange dream she had yesterday.

After walking around the playground a few times, the two waved goodbye in a very casual manner.

When Lu Chengzhou left the school, he turned back for once, looking at the school with lingering affection for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, he went to see Vanilla and some other familiar business partners.

After saying goodbye to each of them, he felt that he had already made his choice.

He wants to return to the real world!

Of course, this choice is not the best choice.

There's even a cruel element to it.

However, Lu Chengzhou felt that life was just like that, full of regrets.

After experiencing many storms in this world, he would yearn for a truly peaceful life.

"Sigh, I hope that when I go back, I won't have to face these hellish situations anymore."

"If possible, let me have a proper relationship."

"Then, she had three or five children."

"Ah, wife, kids, and a warm bed—it's wonderful!"

Of course, Lu Chengzhou wouldn't dare tell the Meng sisters about his thoughts.

When he returned to the winery, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Meng Wanyu and her sister were both looking at him with very subtle expressions.

The reason is simple: they had a very similar dream during their afternoon nap today.

In my dream, it was a strange city.

In that unfamiliar city, the only person they knew was Lu Chengzhou.

Although their father was there, it was clear that the information he possessed was different from theirs, and to them, he was more like a stranger.

The only person they knew was Lu Chengzhou, which meant that the only person they could trust was also Lu Chengzhou.

The dream was so real that they all felt uneasy after waking up.

It's just like……

It will be as if that dream will sweep me away soon.

"Teacher Lu, do you dream when you sleep?"

At the dinner table, Meng Wanyu casually asked this question.

Lu Chengzhou was stunned.

What's wrong with me today?

Why is everyone acting so strangely?

Moreover, what kind of question is this?!

Does it matter whether you dream or not?

Sister Meng gently kicked him from under the table.

Lu Chengzhou: "???"

Seeing that he didn't react, Sister Meng had no choice but to remind him, "Your water glass is full."

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou was in a daze and didn't notice that the cup in his hand was already full of water.

Meng Wanyu looked at him with a smile on her face.

"It seems that Teacher Lu is dreaming whether he is asleep or awake."

She suddenly had a great expectation for that dream.

Perhaps that was an opportunity.

An opportunity for her to see another side of Lu Chengzhou.

She believes that there are no dreams without a reason, nor are there coincidences without a reason.

All the coincidences are deliberately arranged by God.

Lu Chengzhou sighed: "Miss Meng, please stop joking with me."

At this moment, Meng Wanyu handed over a bracelet woven from red rope.

"Take this. It's a finished product that I barely managed to make after a month of hard work learning it."
