Lu Chen opened his mouth in shock, staring at the yellow-haired guy who was grinning foolishly at the screen, and froze on the spot.

"..."

OK OK.

Although it was a dream, it was too outrageous!

Three seconds later, he came to his senses. Too lazy to talk nonsense, he rolled his eyes and prepared to wake up from the dream by "holding his breath and suffocating".

As a result, I almost suffocated myself, but all I could see was the little white dog posing in a coquettish manner and the yellow-haired guy with a perverted face.

And at this moment, the camera on the computer screen turned, and many viewers appeared.

Then there is another series of transition subtitles——

【2023 Westminster Dog Beauty Pageant】

Beauty pageant?

After his breathing resumed, Lu Chen took a few deep breaths, his face full of confusion.

At this time, Xia Yunian also walked into the room, stood behind him and explained in a low voice:

"Xiao Huang kept pestering me today, as if he wanted me to play with him."

"I can't do anything, so I just give it to you and watch this..."

???

So you are "coaxing the child", right?

Looking at Xia Yunian in surprise, it took Lu Chen a long time to realize that he was not dreaming, and everything was just Xia Yunian's "honey trap".

No, I'm really convinced!

Just watch a movie, why are you surfing the Internet?

Looking at the yellow-haired man who was still immersed in the beauty and couldn't extricate himself, and might not even know that he was back, Lu Chen took a deep breath and whispered:

"Okay, I thought I was dreaming again."

"again?"

Originally, Xia Yunian was following Lu Chen out of the house, but the moment he heard these words, his eyes suddenly widened and he froze.

"Do you, do you dream too?"

Chapter 274 You Are Reality

Do I dream too?

What kind of stupid question is this?

"Didn't you learn that in biology class?"

Turning back, Lu Chen squinted his eyes and said, "Dreaming is a normal human behavior, not a superpower."

"That's not what I meant."

Xia Yunian quickly shook his head, dragged the mop out of the room, and asked anxiously, "I mean the kind of dream that is very realistic!"

"Dreams will give you a prediction of the future!"

"..."

Lu Chen paused and instantly realized what Xia Yunian was talking about.

Realistic, prophetic...isn't this the lucid dream I sometimes have?

His eyes gradually became strange, looking at the very nervous Xia Yunian, he was silent for a moment and then asked:

"Have you ever had this kind of dream, too?"

"Ok!"

Xia Yunian nodded repeatedly: "I have done it! Many times!"

Oops, pay attention to the grammar.

Do not omit the object casually.

Dreaming is just dreaming, what does it mean to have dreamed?

"so......"

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen asked again: "Those things you said about saving the world and having three girlfriends were all dreams?"

Xia Yunian continued to nod: "Yes!"

"Then why didn't you tell me when I asked you before?"

"I'm afraid you don't believe it, because dreams don't sound believable."

"Good fellow, it's even more untrustworthy if you don't say anything... Never mind."

Lu Chen shook his head and seemed to have accepted this matter very quickly, not looking surprised at all.

Because there's really nothing to be surprised about.

After all, although we don’t know the reason, “prophetic dreams” are definitely related to super powers.

Xia Yunian also has super powers, so it is very normal for her to have this kind of dream.

"When did you start dreaming?"

Walking to the dining table, Lu Chen took the lunch box out of the plastic bag and asked casually, "What animal am I in the dream?"

"animal?"

Xia Yunian was stunned: "Why animals?"

Ok?

Isn’t the form of dream different for everyone?

Lu Chen was also stunned for a moment: "Because the things that appear in my dreams are all animals, it feels like a projection of reality."

"Wan Qing is a crocodile, Lu Shuyu is a swan, and you are a crow."

"Besides that, there are some monkeys and rabbits and stuff like that. I don't know who they are referring to."

"Anyway, I haven't seen a single living person... No, I haven't seen a dead person either."

"Is this so..."

Xia Yunian bit her lip and fell into deep thought, still holding the mop in her hand.

After a while, when Lu Chen had already opened the lids of all the plastic lunch boxes and was ready to eat, she asked in a low voice:

"So you can easily distinguish between dreams and reality?"

"Well, it's very simple. After all, they are all outrageous."

Lu Chen recalled: "The last time I dreamed, I dreamed that Huang Mao kidnapped Lu Shuyu. The last time I dreamed that Huang Mao turned into a loli maid. The most recent time, I dreamed that I went to a cemetery... It was a Gothic dream."

"Anyway, basically, whenever I have this kind of dream, I can realize it immediately, but sometimes I just deliberately don't wake up right away."

Looking at Xia Yunian, Lu Chen was a little confused: "Aren't you like this?"

"I'm not......"

Xia Yunian shook his head gently, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.

"It's hard for me to tell..."

......

The sun sets, the crescent moon rises, and the evening breeze rustles the leaves outside the window.

Ten minutes later, Lu Chen and Xia Yunian were sitting at the dining table eating dinner in a very silent atmosphere.

Looking at Xia Yunian who was eating with her head down, Lu Chen seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up.

Not being able to distinguish between dreams and reality is actually a very cliché setting.

The most famous work is of course "Inception".

Other less popular films include "Paprika" and "Mulholland Drive".

In all film and television works that use similar imagination as a selling point, this experience of "difficult to distinguish between true and false" is undoubtedly painful and terrifying.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Yunian’s world-weariness and autism may not be entirely due to the death of his parents, but may also be due to the escape caused by being in a state of suspicion for a long time.

After all, according to Xia Yunian, in her dream, everything was extremely real and logical.

So in most cases, she couldn't tell whether she was in a dream or reality, and could only live as if it were reality.

The most exaggerated time was when she even lived in the dream for a month, until one day she found that the apples on the table suddenly turned into oranges, and then she realized that she was dreaming.

Of course, just like a plot in "Inception", if the dream world is very wonderful, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing if you can't wake up.

Lu Chen often fantasized about suddenly becoming rich, or traveling to his own invincible world of cultivation... If this fantasy could be realized in the form of a dream, he would rather sleep a little longer.

But in Xia Yunian's dreams, there are always more bad things, or in other words, there are no good things at all.

And this situation has been going on for a whole year.

During this period, Xia Yunian had at least dozens of similar dreams...

Shit, why am I suddenly in awe?

This is too torturous. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to last more than a month.

After muttering to himself, when he looked at Xia Yunian again, Lu Chen not only understood the former's autism, but also admired him very much.

However, after enduring for a long time, he still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked hesitantly:

"Have you ever thought of finding a way to distinguish between dreams and reality?"

"Like holding your breath, the feeling of falling, or making a totem or something?"

“I have tried.”

Xia Yunian swallowed the rice in his mouth and replied softly, "No."

"Then how did you wake up?"
