Nanke Yifu Chapter 30
byLiving in the Wind and Staying in the Rain (2)
The body that fell on him was lighter than expected. Feng Su used his forearms to hold the person up to prevent him from falling. He made a surrender gesture with his hands, not daring to hug him tightly.
I was in a hurry just now and forgot my sense of propriety. Although it was for comfort, my actions were a bit too intimate. I used too much force at this time. I just wanted to calm the other person down, but this time, it turned into hypnosis. I hope he won’t think of himself as a pervert when he wakes up.
But then again.
Feng Su hugged the person and sat on the steps, letting him rest on his lap and tightening his collar.Looking at the pale face carefully, he tried to imagine in his mind what this face looked like when it was healthy, or what it looked like when he was a child. No matter what kind of face it was, it didn’t match any face he could find in his memory.
“Who are you?” Feng Su murmured.
His hands were stroking the soft hair. Since he was already asleep, he might as well let others sleep more peacefully.Xiao Xi seemed to be worried too, lying quietly beside her, sticking her little head out to take a sniff from time to time.
Feng Su stretched out his other hand and patted Xiao Xi’s head, lowering his voice and saying, “What should we do now? I don’t know him, do you?”
Xiao Xi turned her head and said that she was just a puppy and could not understand human speech, let alone help humans make suggestions.
It doesn’t matter if you leave, it doesn’t matter if you don’t leave.It was winter, and this man looked unhealthy to begin with, and he had been out for who knows how long. He lay on the roadside and slept like this, and then he was destined to be tortured by his rebellious body.But if I just take him away…will I really not be regarded as a human trafficker or something like that?
Otherwise, we should call the police, or no matter what, we should call the police now.But what does the police say?I picked up an adult on the side of the road. He was not in a good mood, and then I put him down?Looking at this shockingly beautiful face, he must have been perverted in the past. Even he himself would subconsciously think that way.
Forget it, just be a pervert if you’re perverted. Anyway, he didn’t do anything he shouldn’t have done. He just received some unfriendly looks.
As soon as he picked up the phone, something furry touched Feng Su’s hand. When he looked again, he saw that Xiao Xi had already licked the saliva on his face without any notice.
He warned the puppy in a low voice. He didn’t bring any wipes with him, so he could only wipe it with his sleeves first, and he didn’t dare to use force for fear of waking the person up.Feng Su thought about it, and since it was only a few steps away, he decided to take the person back to his store to warm him up first, and also wipe the saliva of a certain little guy for him.
Anyway, people know him, and dogs seem to know people too.
Although Xiao Xi is friendly to people, she doesn’t get so close to everyone right away.
No matter how thin or light this person is, he is still an adult male about the same height as himself. Heavy clothes in winter are not that convenient. No one can help, the other person is not conscious yet, and you have to be careful not to wake him up… Thinking of this makes me feel even more like a human trafficker.
In short, after a lot of effort, Feng Su finally put him on his back, held Xiao Xi’s hand, rubbed his little head hard before getting up, and said, “You must get to know him!”
The beautiful stranger… or maybe someone he knew but didn’t remember, was placed by Feng Su on a single bed in the lounge inside. Xiao Xi stayed inside to accompany him, while Feng Su went out to do whatever he wanted.
Maybe you should call Lin Yuyou. If Xiao Xi really knows this person, then Lin Yuyou should also know him.However, there was always a busy signal on the phone, and another guest came later, so Feng Su forgot about it.
Until noon, he had just trimmed the hair of a curly-haired puppy and was waiting for its owner. Suddenly, there was the sound of the puppy scratching the door, and Xiao Xi barked behind the door.
He hurriedly put the puppy into the cage and returned to the lounge. As soon as he opened the door, Xiao Xi bit his trouser leg and pulled it in.The person on the bed was still asleep, with an abnormal flush on his formerly pale face, his brows furrowed, and he slept very uneasily.
Feng Su raised his hand to cover his forehead, and the result was as expected.
In an unexpected situation, he didn’t care about being polite or impolite. He found a mobile phone from his coat pocket and confirmed that the current situation had nothing to do with the abnormality. In fact, this should be done before bringing people back, but Feng Su didn’t think of it at that time.
He patted the man’s hot cheek, trying to wake him up, but Xiao Xi was spinning around anxiously at his feet. The puppy was worried about the man, but it was a little in the way.
“Xiao Xi, it’s okay. Just calm down.” Feng Su couldn’t find the energy to comfort the puppy, but the puppy kept running around at his feet. No matter how stable a temperament is, a person with a stable temper will inevitably be a little impatient, “Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi!”
The injured puppy was restless, but the person on the bed opened his eyes.
“How do you feel? Can you get up?” Feng Su came close to those still confused eyes and said softly, “You have a fever, I will take you to the hospital.”
“I…” The man’s originally clear voice became hoarse. He pushed himself up to sit up and said, “I’m fine, there’s no need to go.”
Feng Su looked at this person again. No matter how he looked at it, he was definitely past the age where he would be afraid of doctors and would cry and refuse to see a doctor for fear of injections. He was also well past the age where he could be pressured to go to the hospital.
It’s not okay to hide a disease and avoid medical treatment.
“Take your body temperature first, take some medicine, and then go to the hospital if the fever doesn’t subside, okay?” He tried to discuss it, but he didn’t use a negotiating tone. Feng Su wanted to find a thermometer for people, but when he raised his foot, he almost stepped on the puppy’s tail, “Xiao Xi, point to the side.”
Before the puppy could lift its butt, a confused voice came from behind: “Huh?”
Feng Su turned around and looked at each other. Both of them had blank expressions on their faces. The puppy, who was not sure of his situation, moved his position and looked up at this person and then at that person.
It was the person on the bed who reacted first, pointed to the puppy beside the bed, and asked in a hoarse voice: “Is his name Xiaoxi?”
“Yeah.” Feng Su nodded.
“That’s it.”
He waited for a few seconds and saw the man lowered his head and stopped talking. He went out to find a thermometer, warm water and antipyretics.
Thirty-eight degrees five, not too serious. The hand delivering the medicine was halfway out. He suddenly thought of something and immediately curled up his fingers.
“Wait a minute, eat something first and then take the medicine.”
“No need.”
His wrist was caught, Feng Su looked along the hand that was holding his wrist, and was let go the moment their eyes met again.
The amber eyes turned, looking away from him, and explained: “I have no appetite.”
“Where’s the drink?” Feng Su asked, “Can I get you a can of milk?”
The other party still shook his head, and he no longer forced him. He just asked him to drink two more sips of water. If he really had no appetite, forcing him to eat would only be counterproductive.
The slender neck is fully exposed as the head is raised, the Adam’s apple rolls, and the dry and pale lips at first sight turn red under the action of high heat and liquid.The empty water glass was placed on his lap, and Xu wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his fist.His head was still hanging down, and he had no energy. He didn’t know whether it was because of illness or emotion.
“Are you cold? Do you want to add a blanket?” Feng Su took the empty water glass and put it on the table beside him. He shook his head and thought that there was nothing else to do, so he pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed.
He had a lot of questions to ask but didn’t know where to start.
Fortunately, the other party took the initiative and said, “You don’t know me, right?”
“…Hmm.” Feng Su nodded hesitantly. Even though he knew that the patient needed to stay comfortable, he couldn’t tell a lie that was bound to be full of loopholes. “But you know me, right?”
“Well, my name is Yan Laixi.” A faint smile appeared on his sickly face. Yan Laixi introduced himself to him and said, “Like your puppy, we are both called Xiao Xi.”
“That’s really fate. If it weren’t for Xiao Xi, I wouldn’t have noticed you were there.” Feng Su picked up the puppy, put it on his lap, and said, “But it’s not my puppy, it belongs to a friend… I wanted to ask you if you knew it before, but Xiao Xi is not so enthusiastic about others.”
As if to prove his words, Xiao Xi raised her two little front paws and was about to jump on the bed. When Yan Laixi stretched out her hand to catch it, Feng Su didn’t stop her.
Yan Laixi picked up Xiao Xi, looked around, and said, “It looks very similar to my sister’s puppy.”
“Really?” Feng Su asked as if he had nothing to say, “What is the name of your sister’s puppy?”
“Hmm…” Yan Laixi thought for a while and said, “Maybe it’s called Xiaobao? Anyway, I hear her call it that every time.”
Xiao Xi came up to him and wanted to lick his face. Yan Laixi raised his head and hid for a moment, then smiled and lowered his head to lick him. He asked Feng Su, “You want to know why I know you?”
Feng Su thought for a while and felt that since the other party had already spoken directly, there was no need to go around in circles just to be tactful. He asked: “…Have we met?”
“Yes.” Yan Laixi nodded slightly and said, “I have seen him many, many times in other dreams.”
In other dreams.
If Feng Su hadn’t checked the other party’s abnormality, he might have thought that he was confused at this time.
The questions were strung together into a line, and by chance, the answers took shape.
“Maybe I guessed wrong, but just in case, I think I should remind you.” Feng Su said, “You are not dreaming now.”
There was a crack in the calm smile, and Yan Laixi seemed to be stunned. The slightly raised corners of his mouth gradually dropped, his brows came together, his lips pursed slightly, and his expression slowly turned into uncontrollable panic.No, rather than panic, it seems more like being at a loss when a sudden accident disrupted the plan and… doubts?
“Relax a little.” Feng Su said. He was worried that he would lose control like before. He stretched out his hand, palm up, and asked, “Can I touch your hand?”
The slender fingers came closer and retracted when they were about to touch him. Feng Su didn’t urge or take the initiative, he spread his hands smoothly and waited.
The two hands clasped together again, and this time the temperature of the tentacles was hot. It would be nice if this temperature was not caused by heat.
He put his other hand on the back of his hand, rubbed it gently with his thumb, and asked, “What method should you have to distinguish between dreams and reality?”
Yan Laixi nodded and looked directly at him.
Seeing this, Feng Su directly skipped the nonsense step of asking “is it true?” and said, “What other ways besides me?”
This time he shook his head. Yan Laishi paused and said, “But it’s indeed a bit strange. I guess… I’m not dreaming.”
As a “person in a dream” who suddenly appeared in the real world, Feng Su didn’t know how to prove to Yan Laixi that he was a real person and tell him that he was not in a dream now.But whether it was out of trying to find the difference between dreams and reality, or out of selfish motives, he wanted to ask a question.
“Can you tell me what the me in your dream looks like?”
“Xiao Xi…”
“Xiao Xi!”
In a daze, Yan Laixi seemed to hear a familiar voice calling him in the distance. He wanted to open his eyes and take a look, but he seemed to be unable to control his body.The voice got closer and closer, so close that it was right next to his ears. Finally, as if something had broken through, his body suddenly became lighter, and Yan Laixi slowly opened his eyes.
Light and a sweeping heaviness flooded his sight and body together, and a familiar face appeared along with it.
“How do you feel? Can you get up? You have a fever. I will take you to the hospital.”
It’s Feng Su, by the way, he’s dreaming, isn’t he awake yet?
“I…” When he opened his mouth, he realized that his throat seemed to be stuffed with sandpaper, and Yan Laixi frowned.Color, taste, touch, pain, etc., everything that exists in reality will exist in his dreams, but this is the first time that everything is completely indistinguishable from reality.
If Feng Su hadn’t been standing beside his bed, Yan Laixi might have thought that he wasn’t dreaming at all.
“I’m fine, no need to go.” Yan Laixi said as he sat up.
“Take your temperature first, take some medicine, and then go to the hospital if the fever doesn’t go away, okay?”
There is no need to take medicine at all, and there is no need to go to the hospital if the fever does not subside. It is in a dream anyway, and whether it is cured or not will not have any impact on the body in reality.
“Xiao Xi, point to the side.”
“Huh?”
He had just woken up from his sleep, his body was in a fever state, and his mind was dizzy. When he heard someone calling him, Yan Laixi subconsciously responded and raised his eyes.
He saw Feng Su’s blank expression, and then he saw the little white dog with only a small head exposed because it was not tall enough.
Yan Laixi thought of something and asked, “Is it called Xiao Xi?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s it.”
It turns out that the voice just now wasn’t calling me, it was calling it.
Fengsu here doesn’t know Yan Laixi yet.
The hand with the pills in his palm reached out and took it back without waiting for his reaction. Yan Laixi heard Feng Su say, “Wait a minute, eat something first and then take the medicine.”
Dreams don’t really require such rigorous logic.
He grabbed Feng Su’s wrist and said, “No need.”
Stomach discomfort also came in. Yan Laixi still had no appetite. If he swallowed something forcibly, he would probably vomit it all up just like in reality.
A line of sight followed the touching limbs to his face. Yan Laixi let go of his hand as if he was electrocuted. He forgot again that Feng Su here didn’t know him yet.
“I have no appetite,” he explained, looking away.
“Where’s the drink? Can I get you a can of milk?”
Yan Laixi still shook his head. He wouldn’t even want to take the medicine if he could, but he knew that such a willful request would definitely be rejected.
Although the Fengsu in each dream is not exactly the same, they are all Fengsu after all.
The other party said nothing more, just handed him the medicine again and told him to drink more water.
He put the pill in his mouth and rushed it into his throat with water. Although he had completed the swallowing action, the foreign body sensation still lingered. The small white pill seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to come up or go down.
Yan Laixi’s hand on his lap held an empty cup, and he raised his other hand to wipe the water stains from the corner of his mouth.He thought, should he tell Feng Su that he was the person in his dream?Do you want to tell Feng Su that they have met, met countless times, not only met, they also grew up together in other worlds – other dreams – and spent countless lives together.They have been close friends and lovers, they have become an obsession that can never be let go of in each other’s lives, and they have a past that cannot be ignored even if they turn against each other.
He would be sent to the hospital as mentally ill. It was just a dream anyway, so it doesn’t matter what happens.
Anyway, Feng Su doesn’t forget about himself every day, so why bother giving him all his memories and confusing him.
“Are you cold? Do you want an extra blanket?”
Yan Laixi shook his head, and then the water glass in his hand was taken away and placed on the table. Feng Su pulled a chair and sat next to him.
He knew what he wanted to ask.
But he also had a question, a question he already knew the answer to, a question he still wanted to ask again even if he knew the answer: “You don’t know me, do you?”
“…Yeah. But you know me, right?”
The other party was a little hesitant in answering, and Yan Laixi knew that this hesitation was not because Feng Su might have any impression of him, but because of his excessive reaction before he collapsed, and he was worried that he would get sick again.
“Well, my name is Yan Laixi.” He raised his lips and even made a little joke while introducing himself, “Like your puppy, we are both called Xiao Xi.”
“That’s really fate. If it weren’t for Xiao Xi, I wouldn’t have noticed you were there. But it’s not my puppy, it belongs to a friend… I wanted to ask you if you knew it before, but Xiao Xi is not so enthusiastic about others.”
A puppy with the same name as him was picked up. After hearing what Feng Su said, Yan Laixi realized that the puppy looked familiar to him.By chance, the puppy stretched out its paws and wanted to come to him. Yan Laixi took it over, held it on his body and looked at it. It was indeed very similar, but there were so many similar puppies. Maybe he could find a “twin” for it if he walked around the street twice.Besides, it was perfectly normal for the puppy in his dream to look like a puppy he had seen before.
“It is very similar to my sister’s puppy.” Yan Laixi said.
“Really?” Feng Su asked, “What’s the name of your sister’s puppy?”
“Hmm…” Yan Laixi thought for a while. He had not met the puppy many times, and he didn’t know whether the call he heard was a name or a simple nickname. He said, “Maybe it’s called Xiaobao? Anyway, I hear her call it that way every time.”
The little guy in his arms stepped on Yan Laixi’s legs, stood up with his front paws against his chest, and wanted to lick his face.Yan Laixi thought that he was still sick, and subconsciously wanted to hide away. Then he thought, let alone in a dream, even in reality, people’s illnesses would hardly be passed on to puppies. He smiled and took the initiative to welcome the puppy’s affection.
While playing with the puppy, he didn’t forget that there was a human next to him who was full of questions, and said, “You want to know why I know you, right?”
“…Have we met?”
“Yeah.” Even though he knew there was no need to confuse the other party, Yan Laixi still said, “I’ve seen him many, many times in other dreams.”
We were separated many, many times.
“Maybe I guessed wrong, but just in case, I think I should remind you.”
What to remind?Think he got the wrong person?Or do you think he is delusional?
“You’re not dreaming right now.”
The smile froze on his face. When he was helpless, when he was desperate, when he couldn’t accept the development of the dream, Yan Laixi asked himself and the people in the dream countless times in his dreams whether he was dreaming, but not once or in any time did anyone in the dream say to him that you were not dreaming.
Isn’t he dreaming now?
But Fengsu was standing in front of him… But assuming, assuming that Fengsu really existed, then now…
Yan Laixi tried to imagine that the current environment he was in became his own home, that the puppy in his arms turned yellow, and that the water glass on the table was filled with water. Without exception, they all failed.
Occasionally, if he wakes up from a dream, he can control the content of the dream to a certain extent.
But Fengsu…how could it appear in reality?
Is it in a dream now or in reality?
If this is true, did he leave a very bad first impression on the other party?
“Relax, can I touch your hand?” The palm, which was different from mine and could be seen as belonging to an adult male at a glance, stretched out. Yan Laixi tentatively approached, but couldn’t help but retreat the moment he was about to touch it.
Whether it was a dream or reality, Feng Su would not be a bubble that would disintegrate at the first touch…at least not until he was about to wake up from the dream, but Yan Laixi was still uneasy for no reason.
The moment their skins touched, miraculously, the sudden uneasiness dissipated.
Not only that, it was a very magical feeling, like a warm spring breeze blowing past him, gently blowing away part of the sadness that was wrapped around him.
“What method should you have to distinguish between dreams and reality?”
Yan Laixi nodded, of course, but now this method may become a distraction.
It has to be said that Feng Su is really a clear-minded person at all times. He can get the answer by himself through just a few words of information, even without explanation: “What other methods besides me?”
Yan Laixi shook his head. There must be Feng Su in his dream. There is no more accurate way than this, and it is not needed – it was never needed.
But other than that, everything was leaning towards the side that he wasn’t dreaming about.
“But it is indeed a bit strange. It should…not be a dream.”
It doesn’t matter, if it’s a dream, you just don’t know when you’ll wake up. If it’s not a dream, then just live like this.
Anyway, in reality, no one named Chi Fu would wait for him to wake up and go home.
Feng Su asked, “Can you tell me what the me in your dream looks like?”
Feng Su in the dream… That’s really difficult for him with his broken voice now.
