"Mom and Dad, no need to see me off, I'm going to school."

After waving to his parents at the doorway, Xia Xinyu turned around and walked towards Chen Yuan.

The bus was coming; missing this one meant they wouldn't make it to school today.

Old Mo was such a strict person; he would definitely scold both of them together.

"Let's get on the bus; it's coming," she said.

"Yeah, let's go," Chen Yuan replied.

Seeing the yellow bus about to stop at the intersection, Xia Xinyu quickly quickened her pace, afraid of missing it. If they missed it, her parents' ride for her and Chen Yuan would be in vain…

Mom and Dad, a wasted trip for me and Chen Yuan…

Mom and Dad, Chen Yuan?

Chen Yuan, why do I know Chen Yuan?

Because I ate his Boston lobster, and then we started eating together and going home together every day…

Why did he treat me to Boston lobster?

Suddenly realizing something, Xia Xinyu discovered a bug—Chen Yuan and her parents would never appear at the same time.

Moreover, Mom and Dad are already gone…

She saw through the dream.

She had her own consciousness in the dream.

Behind her were her parents standing still, waving goodbye; ahead was Chen Yuan, waiting for her to board the bus and go further away together.

Suddenly, a wave of sorrow surged up.

But quickly, she calmed down again.

The yellow bus stopped at the bus stop at the village entrance.

Chen Yuan stood there, quietly waiting for her.

They wouldn't meet, but they met.

Then there was only one reason—Chen Yuan was there to tell her parents he was taking her away.

Turning her head, looking at her parents who were still smiling, Xia Xinyu raised her hand and shouted loudly, "Mom and Dad, goodbye!"

Then, they turned into fireflies and flew into the distance.

Waving her hand vigorously, as if saying goodbye to the past she couldn't escape, Xia Xinyu was very focused and energetic.

They gradually faded from view.

On the other side of the road, only home remained.

Turning her head, there was Chen Yuan.

The bus was still there, waiting for a long time without anyone speaking or urging.

After all, it was a dream; what logic was there to speak of?

And since it was a dream, what did she need logic for?

Standing on tiptoe, she smiled and threw herself into Chen Yuan's arms, embracing him fully.

Seeing through the dream meant she was about to wake up, right?

Then, before waking up, she would hold on a little longer…

He didn't speak in the dream, which was very dream-like.

But he slowly raised his hand and hugged her from behind, returning her embrace.

This was more like reality.

In the dream, she felt a warm and powerful embrace, and also smelled a faint floral fragrance. Unknowingly, rape flowers bloomed all around, and the desolate lotus pond turned into a golden sea that rippled in the breeze…

Kneeling on the cushion, Xia Xinyu couldn't help but let her head droop, like a kitten fishing. She suddenly woke up and realized that she had dozed off while keeping vigil.

After raising her head, she vaguely saw a golden color, but it wasn't rape flowers, but the overlapping afterimages of candlelight.

At this time, the relatives in the mourning hall were still chatting about something, and the cousins of her generation were yawning and playing with their phones. It turned out that she had dreamed in this short period of time.

In the dream, she recognized the dream, so she hugged Chen Yuan until she woke up.

Why would I do this…

Thinking of this, Xia Xinyu felt a little shy. At the same time, she began to reflect on why she would do such a thing in a dream.

Finally, she concluded it was because it was a dream.

Because dreams are fake.

Therefore, you can do whatever you want…

………

At six thirty in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and Chen Yuan opened his eyes sleepily.

An unfamiliar ceiling, pink sheets.

It was Xia Xinyu's boudoir.

Because the other rooms hadn't been cleaned, and it was taboo to sleep in her parents' bed, the relatives arranged for him to sleep here.

At this time, there wasn't really anything he could do, after all, it was barely dawn.

But in order not to give others the impression that he was like a beast in bed, a lazy dog who could sleep for more than ten hours at a time, he really had to get up early.

Getting out of bed, putting on socks and shoes, he looked at the small mirror in Xia Xinyu's room. His hair wasn't messy, and the tiredness on his face wasn't too obvious, so he felt relieved.

Unplugging his phone from the socket, he poked Xia Xinyu's cheek in the sixth grade class two photo of Xiqing Elementary School. He opened the door and prepared to go downstairs to brush his teeth.

At this moment, he happened to meet Xia Xinyu, who had been keeping vigil all night, at the bottom of the stairs. She should have been very tired, and even making an expression would make her sleepy, but when she saw him, she suddenly perked up.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but there seemed to be some 'guilt' in her eyes towards him.

Where did this guilt come from?

Chao Zi was being mighty and not actively giving him feedback.

He'd just have to listen himself.

Locking onto Xia Xinyu as the target, he tried hard to listen.

[Is it because he was sleeping upstairs that I dreamed about him…]

She dreamed about me?

What a coincidence, I dreamed about you too.

I even hugged you in the dream.

To be precise, Xia Xinyu suddenly hugged him, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed into a golden sea of flowers, so Chen Yuan also instinctively raised his hand slowly and gently placed it on her back…

He was very confused. He had clearly seen through the dream from the beginning, but why didn't this dream change according to his thoughts and continued to proceed? And only after hugging for a while did he gradually wake up.

He did wake up for a while last night and turned over, but because he was too tired, he fell asleep again.

"Shall we go brush our teeth together?" Xia Xinyu took the initiative to invite him.

"Okay."

Chen Yuan followed her to the bathroom. She handed him a toothbrush cup and squeezed toothpaste onto a disposable toothbrush.

However, because her bathroom sink was only so big, Xia Xinyu was brushing her teeth there, while Chen Yuan was standing next to the squat toilet, brushing.

Gurgle, gargle, brush, gargle again after brushing, and then wash the toothbrush cup clean.

After Chen Yuan finished a set of procedures, Xia Xinyu hadn't finished brushing yet. Seeing that Chen Yuan only rinsed his face with water, Xia Xinyu took the initiative to hand him her pink towel. With the toothbrush in her mouth, she said vaguely, "This ish mine… yuu use it."

"Thank you," Chen Yuan said, taking it and using it.

Wait, why does Xia Xinyu's towel also have Xia Xinyu's scent?

Is it possible that it's all the scent of laundry detergent?

Narrator, get lost.

Get lost with Chao Zi.

Seriously, what is Chao Zi doing?

The ability from last week has weakened, and the refresh ability is gone. It's simply hateful.

He actually had to listen actively. Seriously.

He was addicted to using cheats; operating without cheats was deformed.

Let's listen to Xinyu's again; he really couldn't do without this stuff.

He was dependent on his crutches.

[Is the feeling of hugging in a dream the same as in reality?]

"?" Chen Yuan was stunned when he suddenly heard such a voice while wiping his face with Xia Xinyu's towel.

Then, he looked at Xia Xinyu.

And as if she had done something to let him down, she quickly looked away and 'gurgled' her mouth.

[When I hugged him, he hugged me too. It's not just my fault, is it…]

That's because you hugged me first, so I…

Suddenly, Chen Yuan had a very 'terrifyingly detailed' idea.

Were they having the same dream?

No.

That wasn't his dream at all!

In the dream, he was like an observer standing there, detached from the dream, and very awake, even not following the rule of 'controlling the dream after seeing through it.'

It was as if he was a player invading someone else's dream, with a very high 'degree of freedom.'

And his actions in the dream would interfere with the dream.

Then, that made things easier to explain.

Last night, Xia Xinyu had a dream, dreaming of her parents taking her to school, and himself interfering with the dream.

Perhaps because it was very strange for him and her parents to appear at the same time, she saw through the dream and said goodbye to her parents who should have left.

Then, she subjectively changed the dream, and her parents became fireflies, which were more memorable to her.

That scene was produced by Xia Xinyu's overlapping memories.

The parents turning into fireflies and flying away like stars was also her subjective will.

Finally, she threw herself into his arms for a comf… a big hug, and because of his politeness, he also gently placed his hand on her back…

Okay, I'll be honest!

Yesterday, I gave her a bear hug.

After seeing through the dream, he felt that it wasn't against the law to do so anyway, so he hugged her hard!

"Then I'm going out…" Xia Xinyu said goodbye to Chen Yuan after washing up, but suddenly found that his eyes were dodging, and he seemed a little abnormal, as if he was…

Feeling guilty.

An expression very similar to her own.

"Yeah, yeah, go ahead."

Chen Yuan could understand Xia Xinyu's mood now.

For example.

You slept with the class beauty in your dream, but the next day when you got to school, the class beauty was smiling and giving you snacks…

Got it?

Although Chen Yuan only gave Xia Xinyu a bear hug, she was Saint Xinyu after all.

[He hugged me even harder in the dream than I hugged him. It's not my fault, is it…]

Self-defense, it's self-defense!

Xia Xinyu even had to mutter in her heart after she left, Chen Yuan knew that he hadn't been gentle enough in the dream.

The key was that because he knew it was a dream, not real, he hugged her hard like he was hugging a doll. This should be considered a cute crit.

But let's leave that aside for now.

So, this week, his superpower was 'invading dreams'?

Then what were the trigger conditions?

Last night, the last person he saw before going to bed… wasn't Xia Xinyu, because the last glance he saw when going upstairs was his aunt, who was close to the stairs.

Then the last person he talked to… right.

That was indeed Xia Xinyu; he could be sure of that.

Or was it someone he subjectively wanted to dream about…

Ah no, wouldn't that be illogical?

Therefore, tentatively set as: the last person you talk to before going to bed will be invaded… invaded into their dreams.

Well, that's okay.

Thinking that this superpower wasn't very destructive, and he couldn't explore its gameplay yet, Chen Yuan didn't pay much attention to it and walked out of the bathroom.

Then, he ran into his aunt, who was about to go in.

Chen Yuan was stunned for a while and said, "...Hello."

When I was originally saying those flippant things and calling people 'aunt,' did I ever think the boomerang would hit the back of my head in this way?

I shouldn't have said those flippant words!

"Yeah, yeah."

The aunt nodded generously, and the two passed by like that.

However, just as Chen Yuan hadn't walked a few steps, she suddenly asked, "By the way, Xiao Chen, which high school do you go to?"
