Chapter 88: Dream
Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Dream
After Xiang Juan left, Lin Xi couldn’t help but be drawn to the reclining chair by the small bamboo table.
The reclining chair, which could also be called a bamboo chair due to its complete bamboo construction, was much finer than the one his old man owned at home—the only chair on Yunlong Mountain.
While on Yunlong Mountain, Lin Xi had long wanted to sit in and lean back on one.
But his old man was quite unreasonable, as if Lin Xi was picked up during a flood. He wouldn’t let him near the chair, and worse, whenever Lin Xi worked himself to exhaustion training, his old man would be lounging in the chair, fanning with a palm leaf fan, sipping liquor, and watching him lazily.
However, that was not the most shameless thing about his old man. The most shameless was that he loved to recline on the bamboo chair and watch classic movies from various countries.
"The old man truly has no ambition!" Lin Xi was now sitting in the bamboo chair, leaning back slowly, rocking up and down, nearly moaning in comfort, thinking to himself, "If I had some ice cream, it would be perfect."
As he thought about this, Xiang Juan’s youthful and lively figure flashed in his mind.
"At this rate, Xiang Juan will be his sooner or later, anyway."
However, is she an adult yet? Sixteen should be the age already. It probably has nothing to do with ’starting at three years, highest to life imprisonment.’
········
"Truly comfortable!" Lin Xi couldn’t help but close his eyes, rocking up and down was a sort of enjoyment. No wonder the old man hadn’t parted from the bamboo chair all day.
Without realizing it, Lin Xi comfortably slipped into a hazy state, closing his eyes as if falling asleep and having a light dream.
In the dream, the bamboo chair was rocking back and forth, but this time he wasn’t alone—he was holding someone on each side.
Though, how he could hold three people—he didn’t bother to think about this contradictory issue.
Just as Lin Xi thought of this, he noticed Xiang Juan entering from outside, carrying a kettle of boiled water.
Was she going to make tea for him?
"Hey, wake up!"
This phrase rang in Lin Xi’s ear, instantly shattering the dream scene. He opened his eyes to see Xiang Juan placing the kettle of boiling water on the bamboo table.
"Xiang Juan, you interrupted my beautiful dream, my beautiful dream!" Lin Xi lamented.
"Ah, sorry, I didn’t mean to." Xiang Juan turned her head, apologetically explained, then asked, "What were you dreaming about?"
"In the dream, you were just like now, carrying boiling water, preparing to make tea for me." Lin Xi thought for a moment, removing the earlier part to say.
"What’s so dreamy about that!" Xiang Juan took a clean teacup from nearby and grabbed the tea canister, walking toward Lin Xi.
"If it’s just that, then it certainly isn’t. But..." Lin Xi paused, just as he saw Xiang Juan bending down to place the teacup.
Everything about her loose grey T-shirt was so adorable.
"But what?" Xiang Juan stood up, looked at Lin Xi, not noticing his unusually fixated gaze, casually twisted open the tea lid, her face slightly puzzled.
"But there was a stunning beauty who wanted to please me." Lin Xi again showed a regretful look.
"What, a stunning beauty? You sure dream big!" Xiang Juan couldn’t help but find it amusing, taking a bit of tea from the canister and putting it into the teacup, asking mischievously, "Did she only please?"
In her heart she wondered, this guy is something; he just said he wanted to marry her, then suddenly starts thinking of other people?
Then why say he wants to marry her?
No wonder many say all men are no good...
But, dreams shouldn’t be taken too seriously!
Also, he seems to have never said he loves her?
Could it be that from the start until now, it’s all been her wishful thinking???
Xiang Juan absently gripped the teacup, using her other hand to slowly pour the boiling water into the teacup.
"Of course not," Lin Xi shook his head.
"What happened next?" Xiang Juan already believed that Lin Xi was just fooling around—after all, it was a dream.
"Just when she was pleasing me, you woke me up..." Lin Xi responded slightly gloomily, honestly thinking that making up stories is really hard.
"Hahaha!" Xiang Juan couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Lin Xi, saying, "Certainly interrupted your beautiful dream!"
"Guess who this stunning beauty is?" Lin Xi didn’t laugh but looked seriously at Xiang Juan.
His sudden seriousness took Xiang Juan by surprise, "You know who she was?"
Isn’t it said that people and things in dreams are forgotten upon waking?
And indeed, Xiang Juan forgets her dreams entirely upon waking.
"Of course I know, how could I forget?" Lin Xi’s expression was very serious.
"Who was it?" Xiang Juan felt a little displeased, without knowing why it suddenly turned like this.
At this moment, Lin Xi didn’t immediately answer but stared at Xiang Juan until she almost felt awkward before saying, "You."
"What’s with me?" Xiang Juan was perplexed.
"That stunning beauty is my future wife, and her name is Xiang Juan," Lin Xi said.
Xiang Juan, feeling a bit lost at first, was completely caught off guard when she heard Lin Xi say this, causing her heart to flutter.
"Ah!"
With a "crack," the teacup smashed to the ground.
It was clear that Xiang Juan’s hand, holding the teacup, had shrunk back for a moment, her hand already reddened slightly, and the other hand holding the kettle seemed unstable, with a high chance of spilling it onto herself.
At this critical moment, Lin Xi quickly got up, held Xiang Juan by the waist to steady her.
With the other hand, he securely took the wobbly kettle from her, placing it steadily on the bamboo table, retreating again, Lin Xi sat back on the reclining chair, while Xiang Juan was supported by him, sitting beside the chair.
"Don’t move, let me see." Lin Xi’s tone left no room for objections.
