At 11:20 a.m.,

"This class will be a physical fitness test. Line up, starting with the girls. When your name is called, those who are ready to step forward..."

The last class in the morning is physical education, which requires running two laps around the playground. Five people run each time. Before class, everyone changes into shirts and shorts that are more suitable for exercise in the changing room.

Because Chu Zhong was the tallest in the class, he was at the end of the line and had to wait a long time.

As for Sonoko and Ran, they completed their physical fitness test halfway through their PE class.

After that, Ran and Sonoko disappeared without a trace.

Chu Zhong could guess with his own eyes that it was Yuanzi, who loves gossip, who had gone to whisper something to Xiaolan.

Actually,

This time, Ran took the initiative to pull Sonoko aside and confide her troubles in a corner of the school.

"It's obvious, Xiaolan, that you're worrying too much about Sister Fei."

After listening, Sonoko came to the same conclusion as Chu Zhong, and said unsurprisedly, "Besides, this isn't the first time you've had this kind of dream."

Since the Mori couple separated, Sonoko has been comforting her best friend who dreams about related scenarios at least once a year.

"But this time it's different!"

Ran Mouri said with distress, "My dreams used to be hazy, but this time they were very clear and felt very real..."

Sonoko didn't take it seriously: "Even if it feels real, it's still just a dream. Besides, you've been staying with Sister Fei lately, so what's there to worry about?"

"But...it's because..." Ran Mouri still looked worried and stammered as she spoke.

This piqued Sonoko's curiosity: "But what? What else happened in the dream?"

"..." Ran Mouri frowned slightly, hesitating to speak.

Garden gradually lost patience. "Don't you trust me? Then I'll send Chu Jun..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ran tugged at Sonoko and shook her head repeatedly, "This absolutely cannot be known to Chu-kun..."

"Why?" Sonoko asked in confusion, "Ran, between you and Chu Jun... wait! Could it be...!"

Sonoko suddenly realized something.

Seeing that her best friend had guessed, Ran Mouri no longer hid it, "That's right, the one in my dream was Chu Jun..."

“It’s not just in dreams, Mom seems to really like Chu Jun…”

Seeing Eri's radiant appearance this morning, as if she were nourished by love, and coupled with last night's 'dream,' Ran Mouri couldn't help but worry that the dream might come true.

"This... is pretty normal, isn't it..."

Sonoko's expression was also a little strange. "Doesn't this just prove... that the family relationship is harmonious...?"

"Does this mean that Sister Fei should dislike Lord Chu?"

Ran Mouri shook her head. "Sonoko, you know that's not what I meant."

"It's just that there seems to be a... strange, inexplicable tacit understanding between Mom and Chu Jun."

"Sonoko, you said before that when Mom was young, she probably had a relationship..."

Hearing this,

Sonoko was also getting a little flustered. "You mean... Sister Fei met her ex-lover's son, and now their old flame has rekindled?!"

Ran Mouri nodded vigorously.

For a long time,

"Then...should we let Chu Jun go back to his original place?"

Sonoko suggested, "Hime-nee is very busy with work, so they basically have no chance to meet."

Ran Mouri shook her head, "This isn't a solution... They'll always find a way if they want to..."

"What else can we do?" Sonoko said helplessly. "Although it's only a temporary solution, it at least buys us time to think of a countermeasure."

Ran Mouri could only nod.

After a moment of silence, the two best friends...

Sonoko asked softly, "Xiao Lan, how did you realize that Chu Jun had changed his mind?"

result……

"Changed heart? No..." Ran Mouri shook her head.

On her way to school, Ran Mouri truly felt the love conveyed in Chu Zhong's eyes.

It was an indescribable gaze, yet one that was unmistakably filled with love and affection.

"Huh?" Sonoko looked puzzled. "Ran, what you just said, weren't you implying that Chu Jun prefers Fei-jie's type?"

"No way..." Ran Mouri denied, "They just said that Mom likes Chu Jun a little too much..."

Sonoko's expression froze: "Did Chu Jun make any suspicious moves towards Sister Fei? Is he against Uncle and Sister Fei getting back together?"

Ran thought about it and realized that the most suspicious thing Chu Zhong had done was just give her a slight hug, just like he had done before leaving in the morning.

Ran shook her head and repeated, "What Chu Jun means is, let's wait until Dad works hard first..."

After listening, Sonoko was speechless. "What Chu-kun said makes a lot of sense! And he clearly supports Uncle and Sister Fei getting back together."

"Since Xiaolan, you have no substantial evidence, and Chu Jun has not done anything out of line, and it was Attorney Fei who unilaterally became close to Chu Jun..."

"The problem lies with Sister Fei! Why does it seem like Lord Chu did something wrong?"

Yuanzi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That scared me to death! I thought Chu Jun had fallen for someone else."

Ran Mouri then realized that there was something wrong with her statement and gave an awkward laugh.

Sonoko continued, somewhat displeased, "Ran, you're really overthinking it. It's just a simple dream about Chu Jun and Sister Fei being together, and you're making such a big reaction."

"It's not that simple..." Ran Mouri argued, "They're still...showing affection in the park."

Sonoko leaned closer and nudged her best friend with her elbow, "Xiaolan, be honest, is it because you really want to be with Chujun, but you don't have a good opportunity, and you're worried that Chujun will be snatched away?"

"It just so happens that you, Xiaolan, are also worried that Sister Fei might be snatched away by another man, which brings the two things together..."

Sonoko began to analyze the psychological factors behind her best friend's dream.

"..." Ran Mouri fell silent, seemingly persuaded.

Seeing this, Yuanzi pressed on, "Then, Xiaolan, were you in your dream? What was your attitude towards Chu Jun in your dream?"

"I've heard that the version of yourself in your dreams reflects the most authentic side of your subconscious..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sonoko noticed her best friend's face starting to turn red...

Chapter 126 A Dream in Utter Chaos

"Xiao Lan, you're really dishonest!"

Sonoko immediately guessed that her best friend was hiding something, "Tell me quickly, what did you do in your dream?"

Ran Mouri remained silent, but her face grew increasingly red.

Sonoko chuckled and said, "Ran, with your appearance, what difference does it make whether you say it or not?"

"Did he... join the game and play with Chu Jun and Sister Fei?"

Ran Mouri dared not reply.

Not to mention that when the 'she' in the dream saw Chu Zhong and Fei Yingli showing affection in the park, she not only did not stop them, but also mistook Chu Zhong for her 'father' and clapped and cheered from the side.

Perhaps because the 'she' in the dream was in the form of a child, she not only mistook him for someone else, but also said something about 'being together forever,' acting like a spoiled child and insisting that Chu Zhong play with 'her'...

In the end, 'she' lay in Eri's arms, and the three of them were very happy. Chu Zhong not only broke the last barrier between 'her' and 'her', but also set up many ice cream parlors for her at the elementary school...

She was even very happy and wanted to eat more...

In the dream, Eri Kisaki not only didn't object, but also helped and accompanied 'her' in her foolishness...

It was a dream so chaotic and embarrassing to even talk about...

"So, the reason you're having these kinds of dreams is because of yourself, Xiaolan."

Seeing her best friend blush like a boiled shrimp, Sonoko knew she had guessed correctly.

He continued jokingly, "I really want to play with Chu Jun, but I don't have the chance. I'm so frustrated."

"Then other worries in my heart mixed together and formed that dream."

Hearing this explanation, Ran Mouri could only nod slightly, agreeing with her best friend's statement.

Otherwise, it's truly impossible to explain Eri Kisaki's completely illogical behavior in the dream.

Moreover, that illusory dream felt incredibly real and joyful. In the dream, 'Dad' and 'Mom' were reunited, and the three of them lived happily ever after...

The hug she received that morning gave Ran Mouri, who is relatively short, a strong sense of déjà vu, instantly reminding her of being in Eri Kisaki's arms and with Chu Zhong...

"By the way, Xiaolan, how did Chu Jun take care of you yesterday? Tell me quickly!" Yuanzi urged.

Having shared their experiences and insights while taking a bath at the villa, Ran Mouri was able to accept such topics when facing Sonoko.

“Yesterday…” Ran Mouri blushed as she recounted what happened yesterday.

"I knew it!" After hearing the whole story, Sonoko patted Ran on the back: "Ran, you were aroused yesterday morning and evening, but you couldn't get what you wanted, so you almost went crazy and had that kind of dream!"

This made Ran Mouri extremely shy.

lunch time.

Chu Zhong, Sonoko, and Ran Mouri, who had already changed back into their school uniforms, still gathered together to eat their bento boxes as usual.

During this time, Chu Zhong noticed that Xiao Lan's expression had returned to normal, and the way she looked at him was no longer like it had been in the morning.

'It seems Sonoko helped to comfort him...'

Chu Zhong secretly gave the garden a thumbs up.

Last night, Chu Zhong used every means at his disposal and made every bold attempt in order to complete the objective of the dungeon.

Finally, after Ran repeatedly asked for help and Eri encouraged her, they made one last attempt and succeeded.

Chu Zhong also realized that Xiao Lan's desire for a complete family was extraordinary.

It seems I'll have to be extra careful when interacting with Eri in front of Ran from now on...

Speaking of Eri Kisaki, Chu Zhong thought of the wedding ring on her hand in real life, which was the same one in the game.

In other words, it's quite a coincidence that it can be paired with another wedding ring in his inventory...

"Speaking of which," Sonoko asked expectantly, "where do you think would be a good place to go during the holidays?"

Starting tomorrow, there will be a holiday for several days.

Chu Zhong was already used to Ke Xue's chaotic schedule of attending classes for two or three days, having four or five days off, and having a holiday every few days.

How about we go to the festival together?

Xiaolan quickly joined the discussion...

Jingle Bell--!

Schools in the cherry blossom country do not have a lunch break.

Shortly after lunch, classes resumed.

Chu Zhong, on the other hand, created his own opportunity to take a nap.

'This is……'

But suddenly I sensed the presence of another 'crow'.

He immediately used the excuse of going to the restroom to leave the classroom and slowly approached that aura.

Finally, on the first floor of the teaching building, a suspicious figure was found: a cleaner was standing in front of his shoe cabinet, cleaning.

Above her head was the conspicuous name: [Leader-level Vermouth].
