Chapter 207: Her appearance in the dream
Huo Haocheng slept very soundly and did not wake up until 8 o'clock in the evening. During this time, Ruan Ruan came to see him twice. Seeing that he was still sleepy, she took a book and read it with the cat on the sofa.
"Host"
"Well, what's wrong?" She answered nonchalantly, continuing to flip through the book in her hand.
"Host, don't you think that your life is too comfortable?" The kitten looked at such a comfortable person and felt that it shouldn't be like this.
"Yeah, that's right. Isn't it good to live a more comfortable life?" Ruan Ruan didn't know why he suddenly asked this tonight.
"But, host, do you still remember your mission?" Seeing how calm she was, the kitten jumped on her and knocked the book out of her hand with its claws.
"What are you doing? Of course I remember my mission, I've been carrying it out all the time!" He was speechless for a moment. What happened to the system tonight? He lifted the back of his neck, brought the cat to his eyes, looked at it carefully, and then asked, "Where are you, uncle?"
"....Meow meow meow" After hearing her words and her actions, the system was so angry that it jumped to its feet. How could there be such an unreliable host? Others who traveled through time and space worked hard all day long, but his host just lay down at home when nothing happened. When something happened, others would take over. He only appeared when he was really needed. He was really unreliable.
"Tell me, what do you want to do? You're acting so abnormal today." There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Ruan Ruan is not like Huo Haocheng, who likes to give him dried fish at every turn to make him happy.
"It's nothing, I just think your life is too comfortable, and I can't stand it!" The kitten hung its head, and he didn't know. He had finished his work and finally had the chance to be with the host and have a good time, but she was just busy reading and ignored him. He couldn't control himself and that happened.
“Let’s not talk about the fact that when you brought me here, you told me to enjoy life. Now I am enjoying the comfortable and peaceful life, but you don’t want to do it anymore. Secondly, is there any conflict between my comfortable life and saving those innocent people who were temporarily implicated?
Every month, I use the money I earn in every possible way to provide them with supplies, take risks to raise them, and let them live better in the village without being bullied. Now I use the employee benefits to set up a Hope Primary School, so that the students can have a good life and bring them hope.
I have set up factories and schools. I am afraid that my children don’t have money to go to school, so I specially set up charitable organizations and provided job opportunities for many people. Why do you say that I have done nothing?"
"Besides, my current comfortable life is earned by my own ability. Why can't you accept it?"
“...then,..then, you...." The kitten didn't know how to respond for a moment. He just raised his head, but then lowered it again.
Ruan Ruan said this not because she was really angry with him. After all, who would be so mean to a cat?
"Okay..." She held him in her arms and gently stroked his fur. "Tong, I know you've worked hard during this period, but wait for two years. After I have arranged everything, you won't have to run around anymore. By then, I'll ask Haocheng to make delicious dried fish for you every day, okay?"
"Really? Are you sure he will have dried fish to eat every day?" The kitten didn't quite believe what he heard. It was as if he didn't hear the previous words. He only heard that he would be given dried fish every day.
".....Really." Ruan Ruan held his forehead with his hand. Okay, as long as the goal is achieved, the rest is not important.
After coaxing the little arrogant girl, Ruan Ruan stood up again and went to see Huo Haocheng. As soon as she walked into the room, she felt the look in his eyes looking at her.
"Why don't you turn on the light when you wake up?" I walked over, turned on the light, and handed him the clothes. "You must be hungry. Get up and eat. It's already 8 o'clock."
He did not take the clothes she handed over, but grabbed her wrist, brought her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Seeing him like this, she comforted him softly and patted his back.
"Well, I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore." He hugged his wife in his arms, feeling very aggrieved.
In his dream, he went back to the time when they were engaged. She was only 10 years old that year. It was the same scene, but the difference was that little Ruanruan was not very happy. She was lifeless every day and didn't like to talk at home. She would only say a few words when her family asked her questions. When she had nothing to do, she often stayed alone. She no longer played with Huo Yue and went hunting in the mountains with Huo Haoshen. She seemed out of place in this family. The most words she spoke every day were when she was at school facing the teacher.
In the dream, he followed her and watched her repeating the same things every day. Huo Haocheng kept talking to her, but she could neither hear nor see anything, which made Huo Haocheng very anxious. He kept telling himself that this was not the case and it shouldn't be like this.
He finally woke up from his dream and heard her footsteps approaching, so he kept staring at her.
"Okay, okay. They say dreams are the opposite of what they think. My brother is so good, how can I bear to give him up!" As she said that, she kissed him on the forehead.
It’s not that he didn’t know it was a dream, but this dream was too real. He was really scared. He was really afraid that the happiness in front of him was just a dream, so he held on to the happiness in front of him tightly.
They hugged for a while, and he gradually calmed down under her comforting voice. "Okay, be good, let's go out for dinner now. I haven't eaten yet because I've been waiting for you. I'm already hungry."
When I heard her say she was hungry, I stopped being pretentious and started to put on my clothes immediately. "If you're hungry, eat first. You don't have to wait for me. If you get hungry and something happens to you, what should I do?"
After putting on his clothes, he took her out, made her sit in front of the table, and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Eat quickly!" Food was put into her bowl one by one. Soon, her bowl was full.
Ruan Ruan didn't remind him, she just wanted to see how long he would take. When he picked up a piece of fried dried cowpea with chopsticks and was about to put it in her bowl, he found that there was already a pile of food in her bowl.
"Hehe, um, eat quickly," he said, and put the food into his mouth to hide his embarrassment.
Seeing that he was eating well, she picked up the chopsticks again and started to eat the food in the bowl.
While eating, Huo Haocheng looked at her secretly many times, as if he was still making sure that this was his wife, no doubt.
After dinner, Huo Haocheng went to wash the dishes, and Ruan Ruan sat on the sofa to digest the food. He would also look at her from time to time. After that, she went to take a bath, and he also sat outside the bathroom with a stool, waiting for her, and said a few words to her from time to time. After waiting for her response, he smiled, "Fortunately, my wife is still here."
When he went to bed at night, he always hugged her tightly.
"What did you dream about?" Seeing his abnormality, she couldn't help but wonder what he dreamed about. Did he dream that he disappeared?
".....I....I" He didn't know what to say. In the dream, they were not engaged, and she didn't like him. At home, she always kept herself out, as if she was alone. That kind of loneliness made him, a grown man, feel sad.
"It's nothing. I just dreamed that you didn't want me anymore. No matter how I called you, you couldn't hear me or see me. I was so scared." As he said this, he tightened his grip on his hands.
Feeling that he was really scared by this dream, I didn't let him let go of me. Forget it, just hold him tighter. He wouldn't strangle myself to death anyway.
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and yawned. She was really sleepy. In order to wait for his news last night, she went to bed until almost dawn. Then she was worried that he would come back without food, so she got up early again. She didn't dare to sleep any more. Now she was really sleepy.
After a while, she let him hold her like this and fell asleep.
Looking at the person sleeping in his arms, Huo Haocheng gently touched her eyebrows, then her eyes, and all the way down, engraving this face deeply into his mind.
I don’t know how long he watched, but he could vaguely hear the sound of roosters crowing coming from Captain Zheng’s house next door, so he hugged the person and went to sleep.
