Chapter 389: The Last Lucid Dream That Bends Aili (4k)

Calculating the time, I have been in the dream for more than 48 hours… So can the time of the dream be controlled by Shimamura Hitomi, or is it uncontrollable according to her mood changes? If it is the former, this is a bit intriguing.

It’s terrifying when you think about it, but if you think about it more carefully, it’s actually understandable. After all, for Hitomi Shimamura, it’s definitely more enjoyable in a dream than to suffer torture at a party in a country villa.

Every girl has a strong desire for exclusivity hidden in her heart, and even Xiaotong, a seemingly soft girl, is no exception.

Qingyou chose to take the train to the selected small town…one reason was to enjoy the scenery along the way, and the other was to save time.

You can take advantage of this journey to observe Hitomi Shimamura’s reaction.

If the dream has not ended when they arrive at the place, then almost the entire process of celebrating Xiaotong’s birthday will be occupied by sleep. This is too terrible, proving that Shimamura Hitomi has inevitably gone to extremes.

Even Qingyou, who has always had a good impression of Shimamura Hitomi, felt creepy at this moment. The sticky and long dream represented an extremely dark situation which was essentially no different from those girls Qingyou met in his previous life.

The saying “the more you think about it, the more terrifying it is” is nothing more than this: Qingyou still maintains a gentle and peaceful appearance, but her heart has quietly begun to deteriorate.

Originally, Qingyou’s fascination with Xiaotong was based on a desire for the clear little animal. Now that the true face of Shimamura Hitomi has been revealed, he feels like he’s been stabbed in the back.

The key is that he is still in Xiaotong’s dream and dares not reveal any negative emotions in front of her.

Always think of the worst… What if Hitomi Shimamura completely traps you in a dream?
It doesn’t seem strange for a girl with such a heavy heart like her to do such a crazy thing.

“Is it okay to just eat a bowl of instant noodles?”

It was noon, the sun was scorching, Qingyou carried two cups of noodles filled with hot water, walked through the narrow aisle of the train, and came to the small table.

Hitomi Shimamura sat there cautiously and a little timidly, staring at the glass. Her unfocused eyes seemed to be in a daze, until Qingyou appeared in front of her. She suddenly came to her senses and smiled reluctantly.

“Well, senior, thank you…”

“You’re too polite. It’s already this late and you’re still calling me senior.”

Qingyou rubbed Shimamura Hitomi’s head. Speaking of which, this action has appeared since high school. At that time, Qingyou rubbed little Hitomi’s head without any psychological burden at all, but now, his wrist trembled involuntarily.

Acting is very torturous, especially when you don’t know when to finish a scene. You are afraid that Shimamura Hitomi will find even the slightest flaw, so you have to be careful about every single move, expression, and language.

Damn it, how could I live like this again…

After forcing themselves through the train journey, Qingyou was about to take a taxi when a convoy of several black executive sedans rushed out from the end of the road and quickly surrounded the two of them.

When the pair of long legs wrapped in black stockings stepped out from the back seat, Qingyou’s heart skipped a beat.

Very good, I still caught up…

“You didn’t expect it, did you, Qingyou-kun? Are you surprised? Hmm? You’re surprised to see me, right? And you, my dear little Tong.”

“Hmm… Airi…”

“Shut up, you have no right to speak here.”

Ai Li’s face was as cold as frost. She walked over and pushed Shimamura Hitomi away, then stood in front of Qingyou and stared at him.

I don’t know if it was Qingyou’s illusion, but at this moment, Ai Li’s eyes were calmer than Qingyou imagined. No, it’s more like a sense of alienation after accepting her fate and no longer having any expectations for it.

“To be honest, Qingyou-kun, I really want to take you…” Ai Li laughed at herself, “But I can’t do it. This is not a place where I can do whatever I want. If your ultimate goal in doing all this is to escape from me, you win.”

“…” Looking at Ai Li’s miserable smile, Qing You was a little moved, but he knew that he should not show any nostalgic emotion at this time.

This dream was essentially a test from Shimamura Hitomi on him. As for the NPC Airi?

There is no need to consider her feelings.

So Qingyou raised his eyes and said confidently: “If that’s the case, then why did you come here?”

“I originally wanted to come by myself, but my father was worried, and everyone around me was worried, so they ended up arranging such a grand ceremony…” Ai Li curled her lips, and the black-clothed people around her who followed her and were obviously employees of the consortium all showed embarrassed expressions.

Ai Li did not embarrass them. She waved her hand weakly to let them go. She held Qingyou’s hand and pleaded seriously: “Qingyou, I want to talk to you, alone. In the car. Just give us a few minutes, okay, Xiaotong?”

Why are you suddenly asking for my opinion… Shimamura Hitomi was a little surprised. Well, she thought she was destined to be a supporting role in this scene, and Airi should not care about her.

“Yes, sure.” Hitomi Shimamura still looked submissive, but she felt nervous about the impending decisive battle.

coming.

Success or failure depends on this.

The dream setting, plus the fine-tuning after entering the dream, allowed Hitomi Shimamura to reveal their itinerary information to Airi. It can be said that she deliberately contributed to the current situation. She wanted to know whether the senior would be moved by the eldest lady’s humble and final retention.

This is her last test for the senior. Woohoo, senior, as long as you reject the young lady here, we will have peace of mind and will continue to wait for the beautiful reality to come.

Oh, that’s right! !

The meeting ended much faster than Shimamura Hitomi had imagined.

It really was just a few minutes… Soon, Qingyou walked out of the car and waved towards the window.

The convoy left as suddenly as they had come. Passersby looked at the scene, confused and just treated it as a short video.

There are many strange things in the world, most of which have nothing to do with ourselves in essence. After the curiosity is over, we will quickly return to our normal life.

“What did the senior say to her?” Hitomi Shimamura asked eagerly, like an elementary school student waiting for the announcement of final grades.

“It’s just to cut off the emotional ties. She asked me if it was possible for me to never love her, and I said yes, otherwise why would I leave the island country.”

When saying these words, Qingyou still had that signature indifferent look on his face, just like countless ordinary mornings when he sipped iced coffee in the office of Chihaya Gakuen and heard Shimamura Hitomi muttering about some dirty things about marriage or love that he had heard from the news, and Qingyou would comment sharply in the slightly sarcastic tone of a person who had experienced it.

It’s about that level of ruthlessness.

He is worthy of being a senior to be so heartless to the eldest lady. In that case, she feels relieved.

whee.

……

In the villa.

Qingyou opened his eyes and his thoughts paused for about a minute.

what.

Is this the side effect of a very long lucid dream? A feeling of being in another world, and an inexplicable sense of depression… although not strong, it is an objective depression.

Ah, if the dream were longer, I might really not be able to distinguish between virtual and reality.

Moreover, Qingyou was in a state of extremely tight psychological defense throughout the entire dream. After all, it had to be acted out to completely dispel Hitomi Shimamura’s suspicions.

A delicate and sensitive girl, she is very suspicious.

Thinking of this, Qingyou couldn’t help but feel bitter on his face.

It’s like an idol that you’ve been promoting for years suddenly gets involved in a strange scandal.

The change in his perception of Shimamura Hitomi also made Qingyou feel disappointed.

Well, it turned out that he was too blindly optimistic. Where is the pure truth, goodness and beauty? When people are trapped by love, they will eventually become hateful. Love is something that will make people rot gradually without realizing it.

I thought I could develop a fresher relationship with Xiaotong, one that would flow slowly like water as time goes by. But in the end, I found that it was still a routine.

Oops.

PTSD is coming back… Qingyou rubbed his aching head and turned on the front camera of his phone. The picture in the lens was not beautified in any way, but the handsome face in the picture had an unignorable sickly paleness.

The little face turned pale, the breathing was rapid, the heartbeat was disordered, and the headache was splitting…

It’s back, it’s all back.

The PTSD developed from the experiences in the previous life, with exactly the same symptoms, all appeared in Qingyou.

The truth is that the girls have been gaining points one by one recently. Even though Qingyou thought that her Taoism was strong enough, it still triggered the part of her memory from her previous life that she was most reluctant to open!

When Qingyou was in a daze, Aili suddenly popped her head out from the corner of the phone screen with an expressionless face.

Qingyou was so scared that she dropped her phone and even lost her balance and rolled off the bed.

“Hiss…Haha, you’re awake, young lady.”

“Yes, I am awake.”

Ai Li’s lips moved, she shook her head slightly, and then nodded, as if she was communicating in the void with another self that no one else could see. She seemed to be mumbling something, and then smiled at Qingyou Tang inexplicably.

“…”No, sister.

What is going on?
With Ai Li’s style, shouldn’t she wake up and wonder why she slept for so long, then start looking up encyclopedias and forums, and assign a hundred investigation tasks to her subordinates in the company?

By the way, she also grabbed Qingyou to slander her two best friends and discussed whether they were the ones who did it… Well, this time it was really Shimamura Hitomi who did it. The problem is that Airi should be completely unaware of this… right?

“I’m so hungry. Go make something to eat, Qingyou-kun.” Ai Li grabbed the phone, and she was not sure what message she was sending. She waved her hand and sent Qingyou to do something else.

Qingyou forced a smile, lifted his heavy legs, and walked out of Aili’s bedroom.

In the living room, Ayano was packing her personal belongings, looking like she was ready to leave.

“Good morning… no, good night.” Qingyou smiled, “Everyone slept for a long time. It seems that the environment in the countryside is comfortable and conducive to sleep.”

“Where’s your eldest daughter?”

“Still in the room, doesn’t seem to have any intention of getting out of bed…Will you have dinner before leaving?”

“No. Xiaotong left early because of something, and I also have to go back to the company to work overtime. There was a conflict between an intern and a regular employee on a newly released task, and I have to deal with it as an intern supervisor.”

Ayano yawned loudly, and her narrow eyes revealed a rare hint of relaxation.

“Qingyou-kun.”

“Ok?”

“In fact, I admire Aili very much. She… is really sentimental. She just threatened me and didn’t take any serious revenge on me. To be honest, I can’t put myself in her shoes, so I decided to be more affectionate.”

“How do you mean tenderly?”

“Restrain your own behavior, consider Aili’s feelings, um… in short, try to be a good child. Qingyou-kun, you will encourage me, right?”

Don’t say it.

Qingyou rarely saw Ayano so serious and pure. Once a person takes off the cynical shell, the core is often very fragile. So, if she is willing to abandon her past habits and be a good child to cater to your preferences, it is certainly worth encouraging.

“Then I’ll look forward to it.”

“Stay tuned!”

Ayano saluted Qingyou, picked up her backpack and walked out of the villa’s door.

That’s great, at least the drawing board demon seems to be moving in a rational direction… Qingyou couldn’t help but sigh. Having said that, he initially thought that Ayano was the most abstract one in the group of girlfriends. However, who would have thought that now everyone is crazy, but she looks relatively normal. Is this the Shura Field Theory of Relativity?
Qingyou smiled helplessly, turned around and looked back, the smile frozen at the corner of her lips.

Ai Li appeared at the wall behind Qing You without knowing when. She leaned against the wall and lowered her head to operate her mobile phone. Messages were sent very quickly.

“What are you standing there for? Go cook.”

“Ah…are you feeling unwell?”

“No, Qingyou-kun, go cook, I’m hungry.”

wrong.

Ai Li’s tone was colder and harder than ever before.

This is not like being in a bad mood when waking up. Being in a bad mood when waking up is a very superficial emotion. Especially since Ai Li is a girl who lacks emotional experience, she looks easy to coax based on experience. However, now Ai Li has a temperament of refusing to interact with Qing You.

Qingyou tried to go up and hug her, but Ai Li dodged him.

“Go cook.”

“Miss…”

“Didn’t you understand when I asked you to cook?!”

“…Okay, meow.”

Qingyou shivered.

It should be said that when Ai Li loses her temper, she still feels oppressive.

What kind of dinner would help calm her anger? Qingyou looked through the refrigerator and decided to make pan-fried salmon and cream of mushroom soup. Ai Li actually liked all soups related to mushrooms.

Rich in carbohydrates and fats, it can bring people a sufficient sense of happiness.

Qingyou followed her experience of coaxing Aili and started cooking. As she was cooking, she felt like something was wrong.

Considering Aili’s recent mental state, after yelling at him just now, she should wait until her anger subsides and then quickly return to Qingyou and say something soft. Even if she wants to be tsundere, she should take the initiative to talk to him.

However, Ai Li did not poke her head out of the kitchen door.

Qingyou cooked dinner with trepidation.

The atmosphere during the meal was also very strange. Ai Li just slowly enjoyed the meal without bringing up any topics. In the empty villa, there were only her and Qingyou left, and it was eerily quiet.

The sound of the knife and fork colliding with the porcelain plate was like a slow torture.

Qingyou’s body began to uncontrollably show PTSD reactions…

“What’s wrong? You’re shaking like this while eating. Did you just leave my besties and start missing them?” Ai Li put down her knife and fork and chewed the fragrant salmon.

“Don’t make a fuss, I just… feel like I have a cold…” Qingyou quickly changed the subject, “Is the vacation over? What are you going to do tomorrow?”

“What else can I plan? My job was arranged by my father. But you, Qingyou-kun, have a very thorough plan. You landed at xx airport and took a train to xx… What a beautiful place. It’s really suitable for you to live with your beloved girl for the rest of your life, Qingyou-kun.”

“…”

Qingyou’s eyes widened.

After his brain went offline for dozens of seconds, only one thought remained in his mind:
Aminos muah!
“Thank you for being there and answering my questions so sincerely, Qingyou-kun.” Ai Li stood up, walked behind Qingyou, and gently placed her hands on his shoulders. “Since I can’t get your love, why not, before you run away, hold you firmly in my hands, forever~forever~”

The strange smell of incense wafted from all directions.

Qingyou’s consciousness gradually became blurred, and the last thing he saw before he fainted was Aili’s sigh.

“This time, no matter how you flatter me, I will not let you out, Qingyou-kun. You don’t need to like me, you just need to be good and be my little pet, and accept my love, hehehe~”
