Chapter 210. Unhappy
Arc 7 : Last Nightmare
The process of waking up from this dream was somewhat unusual, perhaps because it was the subconscious level that Du Yan entered, and he escaped from it layer by layer.
He saw Xiao Lang, Cheng Yu, and He Jin. They all smiled at Du Yan and whispered the same words.
“I’m waiting for you.”
When Du Yan opened his eyes, he met Shao Lingheng’s beautiful eyes. His eyes were clear and dark, and there was no confusion in his expression. It seemed that he had been awake for a long time.
Du Yan sat up and asked naturally: “Have you been awake for a long time?”
Shao Lingheng shook his head and said: “Only a few minutes.”
Du Yan thought of the previous accident and asked again: “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Shao Lingheng shook his head and said: “I slept very well.”
Du Yan couldn’t tell anything from Shao Lingheng’s calm face for the time being. After he subconsciously knew the ups and downs of emotions hidden under his expressionless face, he couldn’t guess Shao Lingheng’s thoughts based on superficial phenomena.
He even wondered if he was glowing like a light bulb in Shao Lingheng’s eyes.
Du Yan knew how much the subconscious mind influenced perception. After all, he transformed himself horrendously during the interview. Shao Lingheng can also able to beautify that memory into a scene that people could not bear to watch with the help of the subconscious filter.
After returning to reality, Du Yan couldn’t figure out whether Shao Lingheng remembered what happened in the dream or whether he knew about the beast bloodline.
From the dream, it seems that the Shao family never told Shao Lingheng about his beast bloodline, and he took the secret medicine when he was seven or eight years old under the pretext that he was sick.
Du Yan thought about it and decided to clarify the previous misunderstanding first to avoid the tragedy of himself turning into various inhuman things in his dreams again in the future.
“Do you remember what I said before you fell asleep?”
Shao Lingheng nodded, with some doubt in his tone: “You said you are not a human?”
Sure enough, this person only heard the first half of the sentence, and did not take the second half, “strictly speaking, I’m not a complete human being”, to heart at all, which led to Du Yan not being a human in the three dream worlds.
Du Yan said: “You may have some misunderstandings. I just have some non-human blood. Apart from some special features, I am not much different from ordinary humans.”
Shao Lingheng asked: “The special feature you mentioned is that you can enter my dream and fall in love with me?”
“……”
Du Yan raised his hand and pinched his brows, thinking that Shao Lingheng’s focus was too clear. He organized his words and then spoke again.
“What makes me special is that I eat nightmares. Entering a dream is a way of eating nightmares. Also, my lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary humans.” Du Yan said: “Do you remember what happened in your dream?”
Shao Lingheng said: “I remember everything now. Every single thing.”
Du Yan saw that when the other party said this, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his face looked unhappy. The air pressure around him was almost visibly dropping.
Du Yan just thought that Shao Lingheng felt a little stressed because he recalled his childhood experience.
He comforted him: “It seems that your bloodline has been reactivated now, but it doesn’t matter. I can help you solve the problem of nightmares. Even if it affects others in the future, you don’t need to take that secret medicine anymore.”
After hearing Du Yan’s disguised promise, Shao Lingheng did not look relieved.
He was silent for a moment, then said: “I’m just… a little unhappy.”
Du Yan asked: “Why? Because the Nightmare beast blood in your body brought you those unpleasant memories while growing up?”
Shao Lingheng shook his head and said: “I am very grateful for the bloodline of the Nightmare beast. If it weren’t for the bloodline, I might never have known you.”
He paused and continued: “Just now you said that your life span is much longer than that of ordinary people. If I didn’t have the blood of a beast, I would probably just be a passer-by in your life.”
Du Yan became more and more confused and asked: “Then what is the reason for your low mood?”
Seeing this, Shao Lingheng knew that if he didn’t tell the real reason, Du Yan might have other ideas.
He took a deep breath and said with determination: “I am unhappy because I am not the first one to hug you.”
After saying that, Shao Lingheng raised his hands and hugged Du Yan into his arms, with some strength, as if he was angry with someone.
Du Yan, who was suddenly hugged: “?”
Shao Lingheng stepped back and continued: “I’m not the first one to kiss you.”
He lowered his head and kissed Du Yan, and even bit Du Yan’s lower lip lightly when he withdrew.
Du Yan: “?”
Shao Lingheng looked at Du Yan with a heavy look in his eyes and said: “I’m not even the first one…”
Du Yan felt that something dangerous was going on, and he felt that if he didn’t stop the other party, some things might get out of control. Now, it was almost dawn, and it was not a good time to do anything.
He held back Shao Lingheng, who was about to approach him with one hand and said: “So, you are jealous of yourself?”
Shao Lingheng had already given up his dignity completely when he said this. He didn’t feel ashamed of his behavior when he heard Du Yan’s question. He nodded and said: “I know that everything in the dream is a part of me, but I’m just not happy.”
Du Yan looked helplessly at the man in front of him, with messy hair and a serious face, complaining about some meaningless things.
Every person in the dream became real at this moment. Du Yan knew that if he didn’t comfort him, this person would probably die of jealousy.
Du Yan smiled and said: “Maybe these are indeed done the first time by you in your dream, but you are the only one who can see the real me, can keep walking with me, and don’t have to worry about waking up from the dream one day.”
Shao Lingheng stared at Du Yan for a moment, then suddenly looked away.
He wanted to hide something, but from Du Yan’s perspective, he could see more clearly the blush spreading from Shao Lingheng’s neck to the tip of his ear.
Du Yan smiled softly again and said: “Not jealous anymore?”
Shao Lingheng turned his head to look at him, and without saying a word, he held Du Yan in his arms.
After a while, Du Yan heard him say: “Still jealous, but I’m not unhappy anymore.”
Du Yan smiled and was about to say something, but he felt Shao Lingheng’s hand touching his back.
Shao Lingheng’s voice sounded somewhat puzzled: “Where are your wings?”
“……”
Du Yan gently pushed Shao Lingheng away and asked: “Most of my blood is still human, and I don’t have wings or other non-human limbs.”
Shao Lingheng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: “But I’ve seen you with wings when I was a kid.”
Du Yan was stunned and called Xiao Ba urgently in his heart: “Xiao Ba, is there something wrong with your medicine? He seems to have a memory disorder?”
Xiao Ba said: “The subconscious level has a great influence on memory. In addition, it was something Shao Lingheng was extremely eager for. It is normal for him to be a little confused for a while. Just tell him the truth directly.”
Du Yan was relieved after hearing this.
He smiled and said: “When you met me as a child, it happened in your subconscious dream. Maybe it was because you wanted someone to accompany you during that period, and this desire was so strong that it interfered with your memory.”
After listening to this, Shao Lingheng frowned and said: “You promised to come to find me earlier.”
Du Yan thought of Shao Lingheng’s words in his dream, but he didn’t care about the logic behind it. Instead, he said soothingly: “I’m here now, aren’t I?”
Shao Lingheng was not very satisfied and said: “Too late.”
Du Yan said in a matter-of-fact manner: “I am nearly ten years younger than you. I was not born when you were seven or eight years old, so it is impossible to come earlier.”
“……”
Actor Shao was hit hard, remembering that a hater had mocked him for being old on the Internet. Of course, that black fan was criticized by Shao Lingheng’s huge fan club, but Shao Lingheng never took these words to heart.
However, Du Yan’s unintentional words today touched a sore spot. Shao Lingheng even seriously considered going home to ask his family’s Yeye for advice on health preservation so as to avoid getting old too quickly and being disliked by Du Yan.
The two of them had a long talk, and after they finished talking about everything, it was already dawn.
Shao Lingheng was still a little reluctant to leave, but Du Yan remembered his responsibilities as an assistant.
Shao Lingheng still has work today.
Du Yan stood up without hesitation, walked to the window, and opened the curtain.
The morning sun shines all over the ground, and the two people with beast bloodline seem to have completely returned to the real world.
“You still have work to do today. Let’s talk about it in the evening.”
After recalling everything in his dream, Shao Lingheng knew that Du Yan was a very dedicated person, so he did not raise any objections but obediently got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Although they were newly confirmed couple in real life, they had lived together for an unknown amount of time in their dreams.
Before Shao Lingheng forgot about the dream world, Du Yan was still able to pretend to be unfamiliar with the help of his bloodline ability.
Now, Shao Lingheng remembered everything, and the familiarity between them could no longer be concealed, and the two of them felt like an old couple.
After washing up, the two went downstairs to have breakfast. Du Yan really had no reputation for cooking.
When he was a student, he always ate in the cafeteria. After he became an adult and activated his bloodline, food had no appeal to him, so he naturally didn’t study how to cook.
When he was thinking about whether to go out to buy breakfast, he heard Shao Lingheng ask: “What do you want to eat for breakfast? I can still make simple things.”
Du Yan said: “It doesn’t matter what I eat. Ordinary food is tasteless to me. It is just a necessity to maintain the body’s needs.”
When Shao Lingheng heard this, he felt a little distressed: “It’s too painful to not be able to taste the food.”
Du Yan said: “Therefore, you are my dish, the most perfect one.”
Shao Lingheng blushed again at this sudden confession. He turned around and said: “I’ll go make breakfast.”
Du Yan sat at the dining table, looking at Shao Lingheng’s back in the kitchen.
He felt that no matter how many years this kind of life lasted, he would probably feel that the sunshine every day was warm, the moonlight every night was beautiful, and the breeze every day was gentle.
At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Shao Lingheng said from the kitchen: “It should be Qian Xing, go open the door.”
Du Yan stood up upon hearing this and then opened the door.
It was indeed Qian Xing who was standing at the door, but the problem was that there was more than just Qian Xing at the door. Du Yan had seen the couple standing behind Qian Xing before, in the subconscious and dream state.
Even though he had never seen them before, he could tell from the similarity of their outlines that they were Shao Lingheng’s parents.
