2202 A dream and reality
Zhang Mengxue had a nightmare.
As newlyweds, she went on a trip to the Maldives with her lover. The sun, the waves, the beach, everything was as he had imagined. Warm, sweet, and beautiful-this was how life should be.
However, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. The originally sunny sea was now covered in dark clouds, and dense layers of lightning appeared. It was as if a fellow Daoist was undergoing a tribulation.
The originally gentle waves instantly changed their appearance, and waves that were a few meters high instantly surged over.
“It’s dangerous!” Zhang Mengxue shouted at her lover, who was standing in the sea and smiling like a child at her.
However, he didn’t notice the change behind him at all. He just stood there and smiled foolishly at her.
The gentle sea breeze and waves had turned into a ferocious beast, devouring him in an instant.
Tears streamed down Zhang Mengxue’s face. She tried her best to hold onto her lover, but no matter how hard she tried to reach out, her entire body seemed to be fixed in place by a spell. She could not move.
She could only helplessly watch as the love of her life disappeared before her eyes without any struggle.
However, the waves did not stop. They roared and roared as they charged toward Zhang Mengxue who was not far away.
She was not afraid. All her happiness had been shattered in an instant. What was the point of living?
His lover had disappeared from his sight, as if he had never appeared in this world. If only this was a nightmare, she thought with tears streaming down her face.
Zhang Mengxue grabbed their love token, a diamond necklace, and gently touched the symbol of love, the diamond.
It still existed. This was not a dream, but a natural disaster that he and his lover had encountered. Fate was unfair, it was really unfair!
Looking at the waves that were like a Black Wall crashing over, Zhang Mengxue knew that she could not live on anymore.
She clutched the necklace tightly, as if she was holding on to the only connection between her and her lover.
No… The moment the huge wave hit her body, Zhang Mengxue found that she almost lost control of her body and could not hold onto the love token at all.
Even if he were to die, he would die with it!
With the last of her strength, Zhang Mengxue put the necklace in her mouth. The waves were so fierce that he felt like he was going to be torn apart in an instant.
She hated natural disasters and hated the waves that shattered her happiness.
In the face of the natural disaster that had taken away all her happiness, Zhang Mengxue was not convinced!
However, humans were simply too insignificant in the face of nature, and she was completely powerless to resist. The only thing she could do was to try her best to keep the evidence that she had once been happy.
Regardless, Zhang Mengxue tried her best to swallow the necklace and not let it disappear in the waves.
As the waves rose and fell, she woke up the moment she swallowed the necklace.
It was still the familiar home. There was a slight snoring sound beside him, and his lover was sleeping soundly.
Nothing had changed, it was just a nightmare.
She heaved a long sigh of relief. It was just a dream. How wonderful. All of this was just a dream.
Then go back to sleep.
It was fine.
It was good.
The next morning, Zhang Mengxue woke up and smelled breakfast.
Life was warm and sweet. The morning sun, the chirping of birds outside, and the sound of his lover making breakfast in the kitchen. All of this was like love.
Her work was smooth, and her life was happy. It seemed that Zhang Mengxue had no regrets in her life. Her only small regret was that her weight kept increasing. No matter what method she used to lose weight, it was useless.
It was such a pity.
No, I have to work out more today and diet. Zhang Mengxue lay on the bed, her mind filled with random thoughts.
“The sun is already high up in the sky, get up and eat.” Zhang Mengxue’s lover greeted her with a smile when he saw her getting up but still lazing in bed.
“Yes.” Zhang Mengxue got up and changed into her pajamas. After washing up, she sat at the dining table and told her lover about her nightmare last night.
It was a dream. Back then, he had felt scared, terrified, and helpless in the dream.
But when she was talking to her lover in the morning sun, she didn’t have any negative feelings. She only thought it was fun. It was rare to see someone dream like a movie.
“Can you guess how I woke up in the end?” Zhang Mengxue asked.
“I was scared awake.” Her lover chuckled as he spoke while eating breakfast.
If he left early for work, there would be fewer people on the train.
“I’m going to swallow the necklace. I can’t lose it no matter what!” Zhang Mengxue said.
“You …” Zhang Mengxue’s lover was stunned for a moment.”Are you feeling unwell?”
“Of course I’m not uncomfortable. I’m just dreaming. How can you take it so seriously?” Zhang Mengxue smiled. Her smile was sweet.
“Alright, hurry up and eat. If you feel uncomfortable today, just give me a call. I’ll take you to the hospital. “
“No, I’ve been on a diet recently, so I don’t eat.” Zhang Mengxue said with certainty.
Her husband didn’t say anything. After thinking about it, he smiled in relief. He didn’t say anything more about the dream and only urged her to eat.
“Don’t you feel touched? I’ve been working hard to protect our love.” Zhang Mengxue said with a smile.
“I know, little fool.”
“I’ll be back later tonight. I’m going to the gym. “
“Yes. What do you want to eat? I’ll wait for you when it’s ready.”
“I’m not eating. Don’t tempt me with food while I’m on a diet. “
“I’m full and ready to go to work. You should leave early too. ” Zhang Mengxue’s lover said as he stood up and began to clear the dishes.
“Alright,” he said.
When she went back to put on her makeup and get dressed, Zhang Mengxue suddenly shouted,”dear, have you seen the necklace?”
“It’s not in your jewelry box?”
“I did, but he’s not here.”
“Hahaha.” Zhang Mengxue’s lover suddenly rushed in.”You just said that you ate the necklace in your dream.”
It was a joke, a harmless joke.
But then, Zhang Mengxue was stunned.
Could it be … That I really ate the necklace in my dream?
She immediately looked for the necklace again, but she still couldn’t find it.
She clearly remembered that she had hung the necklace on the dressing table last night before she went to bed. How did it disappear?
She immediately told her lover about her guess.
Thus, the two of them started to rummage through the cabinets to look for necklaces.
Ten minutes …
Twenty minutes …
Half an hour …
He gained nothing.
Zhang Mengxue couldn’t sit still anymore. Did he really lose it? If she lost it, she would only feel heartache and guilt. After all, it was a love token that her lover had bought for her.
This was not the most terrifying thing.
What was scary was that if he really swallowed the necklace, what would he do?
Zhang Mengxue’s face turned pale at the thought of this possibility.
“I’m fine, I’m fine. ” Her lover consoled her,”let’s go to the hospital for a check. It shouldn’t be.”
“I’ll look for it again. If I still can’t find it, I’ll go and take a look. ” Zhang Mengxue couldn’t believe that she had eaten the necklace. She tried her best to find the little guy who had lost it.
