Chapter 46 Dream and Reality
"I once dreamed of walking around the world with my sword and seeing the prosperity of the world..."
In a daze, Chen An seemed to hear the familiar song that had been missing for a long time in his ears. He turned over on the bed and touched the phone next to the table. After pressing the screen a few randomly, the song immediately disappeared.
wrong--
When he was about to continue sleeping, his whole body suddenly jumped out of the bed.
His eyes stared blankly at the familiar bedroom scene around him, his mind completely blank.
I'm... wearing it back?
Or...I had a dream?
He turned his head and looked at the floor-to-ceiling mirror by the wall, and suddenly found that he was still wearing the white robe at the Soinland Institute, rather than his original pajamas. This alone proved that none of this was a dream!
He sat slowly by the bed, facing himself in the mirror, tears began to fall down, but he was laughing again, and as a result, he showed an extremely ugly expression in the mirror.
After a long time, the familiar alarm clock sings sounded again on the phone beside the table. Chen An wiped his hands on his face and took the phone on the table and took a look.
8:10
Cancel the alarm clock and check the time.
December 1, 201X.
Looking at the time on his phone, Chen An's thoughts were like a ball of paste. Unexpectedly, he spent more than a year in Oscard and only had one night back to his original world.
"Dad! Mom!"
At this time, Chen An suddenly opened the bedroom door and shouted, but looking at the empty home and living room tables, he remembered that his parents worked earlier than him and should have already registered at the unit.
He didn't know how to describe his current state. The strong feeling of being in another world made him unable to tell the reality in front of him. His mind was so messy that he was completely at a loss.
Sitting in a daze at the table in the living room, picking up the buns on it and eating them with soy milk, chewing wax, and now, he no longer has to go back to the day of accepting Soinlan's research experiments every day, now he no longer has to live a worried life, now he never... can't see Alex again.
If all this is a dream, how great would it be.
As he ate, Chen An couldn't help crying again,
From when did his feelings become so fragile and his tear glands become so rich.
No longer like myself before.
The phone in the bedroom rang again. This time it was no longer the sound of an alarm clock, but the sound of an incoming call.
He returned to the bedroom and picked up the phone that had unplugged the charging cable.
packet?!
"Chen An? Are you going out now?"
As soon as I pressed the answer button, Bao Wei's hearty laughter came from the phone.
"No, still at home."
Chen An said numbly.
"It just so happens that I have something to do today and I will drive out and pick you up to work together." Bao Wei said.
"...Okay!" Chen An said slowly.
"I feel a little unhappy when I hear you're not happy?! What's going on? Forget it, wait for me outside the entrance of the community later. I'll be there in 10 minutes."
"...Okay!" Chen Anduo.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Wei hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Chen An realized a little bit. It turned out that he still had the job today!
Since he has returned to the real world, life still has to continue. Maybe he can take a temporary leave to restore his mental state, but...work may make him re-adapt to the interpersonal relationships between society and surrounding him, and perhaps, he can numb himself.
only--
Will I travel through time and space again?
...
"Chen An, here!"
Chen An changed his clothes. As soon as he walked out of the community gate, a small bag was shouted from the window of a white Volkswagen parked on the side of the road.
He walked over, opened the back seat door and sat in.
"Chen An, your spirit doesn't seem right. Is it because of Lin Hui?"
After Bao Wei started the car, he looked at the deadly Chen Andao through the rearview mirror.
"It has nothing to do with Lin Hui. It's because I had a very real dream last night and I haven't recovered until now." Chen An forced a smile and explained. After all, traveling through time and space is too horrible. If you don't mention Xiao Bao, the key is that he can't expose his most important secret at all, because he doesn't want to be a guinea pig again.
"Dream? Haha..."
Xiao Bao just shook his head and smiled and stopped talking. Obviously, he didn't believe Chen An's words.
Looking at the bustling city outside the window, all the memories of Osgard seemed to fade away, and even Alex's voice, appearance and smile began to become blurred in his mind.
"No...I don't forget her, I don't forget her!"
Suddenly, Chen An roared like crazy with his head in his arms, and Bao Wei, who was driving, was so scared that he stepped on the brakes urgently.
"I said Chen An! Are you okay?"
Bao Wei turned his head and looked at Chen Andao, who seemed to be crazy.
"I...I...I'm fine."
Chen An seemed to wake up. He lowered his head and bit his lips, trying his best to prevent his tears from rushing out of his eyes.
"You're really okay? Otherwise, don't go to work today. I'll ask you for leave from the master!" Bao Wei said uneasy.
"No, I'm really fine."
Chen An took a deep breath and sat up straight again, showing a safe and ugly smile at Xiaobao.
"Oh-I'll tell you what's going on? Don't you tell me the truth?"
Xiaobao sighed, restarted the car and drove slowly towards the company.
"Sorry, Xiaobao, there are some things that I don't want to say, but I can't say. Just let me be quiet alone." Chen An leaned against the car window and said with a blank expression.
"Okay."
Xiao Bao curled his lips and looked at Chen An's red eyes in the rearview mirror, feeling complicated. Perhaps, Lin Hui's incident had hit him more than he had imagined. I really didn't realize that he was such a delicate person.
Memories are dissipating, just like everyone wakes up from a dream.
At the beginning, the memory of the dream is very clear, but the more time goes by, the less memory of the dream becomes.
And Chen An is now in this situation.
he--
I began to slowly forget everything about Osgard.
Including Alex.
No matter how much he thinks about it, no matter how much he remembers it, he cannot change this fact.
Could it be—
Is this really just his dream?
Next time when he returned to work in the company, he looked confused. For this reason, Xiao Bao, the boss who was called the master, called him to the office and criticized him fiercely. Perhaps she also saw Chen An's mental problems. After criticizing, she did not forget to ask him if he needed to take a leave to rest.
But Chen An refused.
