Chapter Eighty Who's Dreaming?

  The night breeze is slightly cool.

  The whistling wind blew through the car window and onto Xia Fei Han's face, scattering his soft hair, which fluttered wildly in the wind.

  The indifferent facial lines softened a bit in the quiet and deserted place, for there were thoughts in his heart.

  Through the bustling city, choose a path and head towards Houqiao Town. No hesitation, no wavering, where the heart points is the direction of action.

  Why must all actions have a grand reason? Acting on impulse is more in line with human nature.

  He didn't want to get up early tomorrow and drag his sickly body onto a two-hour bus ride, so he's going to Houqiao Town now to wait for the fight.

  The originally conflicting heart is now calm and peaceful.

  Out of the city, the speed of the car obviously accelerated, but it was not urgent. He just had to make sure that he would be waiting at the door of Zhang's house by 5 or 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, but since he couldn't sleep, he might as well go and wait early.

  He enjoyed the time on this road. Whether it was dull or indulgent, young people, who didn't do something foolish and impulsive at some point?

  As long as you can be true to yourself, that's all that matters.

  The car entered the mountain, except for a crescent moon in the sky and the headlights of the car, almost no lights could be seen - oh, in the distance, through the dense foliage, occasionally, the lights of homes in the village could be glimpsed.

  The mountain road was winding, and Xia Fei lowered the speed of the car. If possible, he even wanted to get off the bus now and walk slowly to the home of Zhan Yu.

  She's a little witch, she's a pest, she's a troublemaker, and she's someone he'll always despise to the end. None of this will change.

  But what he can't deceive himself about is that he enjoys quarreling with her, he likes to fight with her, and he savors every second they spend together, even when she gets furious.

  When you see your own heart, you will no longer be so perplexed.

  In the distance, the light seemed to be at its end, and a figure appeared to be sliding down from the top of the slope, with the lower half of their body shrouded in the beam of the headlights.

  So late at night, there are still people traveling alone on the road? All I can do is sigh and say that the rural people are bold and uninhibited, or rather, the rural atmosphere is good, with no picking up of lost items, and the folk customs are simple and honest.

  It is indeed true that a place's natural environment nurtures its people, and only such a land could produce someone like Zhuge Liang.

  The car slowed down slightly, but soon the car and person met again. Xia Fei's mind was thinking about war, when suddenly a glimpse of light...

  The figure flashing by the car window seems so familiar? Is he hallucinating? No way!

  Xia Fei slammed on the brakes, shifted gears and pulled up the handbrake in one swift motion. Then, he flung open the car door and jumped out, shouting "Zhan Doudou!" towards the back of the car.

  The sound echoes in the mountains, wave after wave ripples out, and conveys.

  The figure that had already left for tens of meters suddenly twisted into a snake-like shape, writhing and twisting, followed by an "ah yo" cry.

  Zhan Zhan is getting angry. What kind of father is this, ignoring her young age and frailty, and still making her continue to lead the team in training, becoming the culprit behind her fainting from heatstroke. Does he know that besides getting vaccinated, she hasn't even been to the hospital? It's scary to death.

  And what's more, this senior sister of hers has already become a laughing stock among those bear children! The prestige and female knight image she had accumulated with great difficulty were all destroyed just like that!

  Both physical and psychological harm are so great, but Father has no guilt at all? Is the 5:30 am training every day more important than his daughter's lifelong happiness? Was she picked up from a garbage dump?

  At seven o'clock, he took her directly to the airport and met Xia Zhi. When they arrived, Xia Zhi's brother immediately handled the registration formalities, and she didn't even say goodbye!

  Hmph, don't rely on others for anything, do everything yourself. Roads are made by people walking, didn't people not travel far before there were cars? She's also one of those who have a car.

  Her Invincible Wind and Fire Wheels.

  Luckily, when she was on holiday, the wind and fire wheel burst its tyre, so she asked her younger aunt to bring it back and get Old Wang from Shandown to repair the puncture. Otherwise, she would have had to rely on the No. 11 bus.

  Driving for an hour, she rode her bike for at most three hours and would have arrived. At most, even if the mountain road was not easy to walk in the evening and she had to ride slowly due to her weak body, five hours would be enough.

  She can still go to her aunt's house for a bath and change into beautiful clothes before leaving.

  It would be better if she had called her aunt to pick her up, but she was annoyed by her father and became stubborn. She left a note and waited for her parents to return to their room at 9 o'clock sharp before riding off on her bicycle.

  For her, this distance was usually acceptable, but when she really got on the road, she found that she had thought too simply.

  Mountain road, endless ups and downs. She just lives in the mountains, not at the top of the mountain, often climbing a section first, then enjoying the thrill of going straight down to the clouds. And these days with a fever, she hasn't slept well or eaten well, her physical strength has decreased quite a bit, feeling weak.

  Hee-haw, hee-haw, riding and riding, just like an old yellow cow plowing a field.

  It's okay, there were no people on the mountain road at night, so she rode to the middle of the road, swaying and twisting in all sorts of shapes.

  Woo woo woo, come on, come on, after passing these two mountains, the road will be flat... Zhan Zhu Zhu kept cheering herself up, her head was a bit dizzy.

  Such a night, such a solitary journey, such an environment, such an atmosphere, it's so strange, as if all of this is just something I dreamed up myself, a bit fake and unreal.

  She was lost in thought, and in the mountain wind that brushed past her ears, it seemed as if someone was calling out to her.

  "Charge!"

  Huh? Am I really sleepwalking? No way?

  She looked around suspiciously, but there was no one. Had she seen a ghost? ...Uh, it seemed like a car just drove by? But the reflection, the darkness, and she didn't get a clear look...

  "Charge!" The second shout was clearer and the voice sounded a bit familiar.

  She turned her head back, but this section just happened to be downhill, the car was speeding and the road was dark. With a slight carelessness, the wheel rubbed against the curb. Fortunately, her reflex nerves were still relatively healthy, she slammed on the brakes, put both feet on the ground, and barely stopped her body, but the bike fell and she stumbled anyway.

  "Isn't Xia Han?" Zhan Zhan shouted out without hesitation, only to realize how unbelievable this name was after she had already spoken it.

  She hasn't spoken a word to him since that night - uh, vice versa.

  How did he appear in front of her at this time and place?

  Did she really dream?

  Zhan Zhan subconsciously pinched his thigh, and the sour pain spread throughout his body. "Ah" escaped his mouth.

  "Is it all right?" It was indeed Xia Fei Han, piercing through the night, running to her front, his tall figure blocking the moonlight, enveloping her small body.

  Xia Fei Han, how did you end up here?

  "Is it serious?" The two people still couldn't have a very complete conversation, and they didn't answer each other's questions.

  "Are you sleepwalking or am I?" Zhan Zhan still felt that the scene in front of him was very eerie.

  What a bother. Xia Fei was too lazy to talk to her, so he simply scooped her up from under her arms and lifted her up with both hands, and she was on her feet.

  It might be because she hadn't reacted yet, or it could be that she had gotten used to being hugged a lot recently. Anyway, towards Xia Fei Han's sudden hug, Zhan Yu Yu didn't show any strong resistance. She was still a bit out of sync and pinched Xia Fei Han's cheek again: "Does it hurt?"

  "What are you doing?" Xia Fei Han, this delicate and tender skin, couldn't withstand her powerful Golden Strength, and immediately cried out in pain. As a return, a large palm very rudely slapped her buttocks.

  "Ouch! It hurts so much! I'm not dreaming!" Zhan Zhuang finally came to: "Oh, how did you end up here?"

  "Nonsense." Xia Fei Han hugged her and walked directly into the car.

  "Hey, can't you just say a couple of words? Don't you know it's impolite not to answer when someone asks you a question?! Ahh, my bike, my bike!" Zhan Erzhu waved his little paws and pointed at the fallen bicycle on the side of the road.

  Troublesome. Xia Fei adjusted her position, switching from carrying her on his shoulder to holding her in one arm, then turned around and picked up her Wind and Fire Wheels, grasping them in his hand.

  If it were someone else, they would definitely think that Xia Feichuan is both overbearing and domineering, yet gentle and cool at the same time, but this is Zhan Yuanyuan...

  "Put me down! Put me down!" Just being held earlier was one thing, but now she's being carried like a sandbag. Being treated like an object: "I have hands and feet, I'm not disabled, I can walk myself!"

  The protest is ineffective. Xia Fei is absolutely not as slender as she looks, only Zhang Da Peng understands that it's the standard of looking slim when dressed but having flesh when undressed. Ignoring the powder punch on her back, if he still doesn't understand when she will make a fatal move and when she's just making an empty show after so many years of fighting with her, then he has wasted his time.

  The car stopped in the middle of the mountain road, with hazard lights flashing. Xia Fei Han casually threw the car keys on the ground and let someone have a good explosion of his disregard for private property, then successfully threw that person onto the back seat.

  Turn on the top blue dimmable modified lights, and the car interior suddenly becomes dreamy - uh, with a hint of high-tech eeriness.

  "It's not cold in summer, you're dead!" Zhan Yunyun covered the back of his head, does he understand the value of being gentle or not: "Valuables should be handled with care!"

  "You're still a bicycle?" Xia Fei Han's gaze was like a scanner, flipping her wrists, elbows, knees and ankles to confirm that this bean sprout hadn't suffered any external injuries in the "car accident" just now.

  Injured? Hmm, with that speed just now, probably not. Looking at her energetic appearance, it doesn't seem like it either.

  Concussion?... If it's suitable, he thought that maybe a collision would be able to put her not-so-normal thinking back on the right track.

  "What are you doing! Picking big white cabbages at the vegetable market!" Zhan Er'er was speechless, carrying her own limbs everywhere to take a look, where is this game? Picking white cabbages? She originally wanted to say if they were thinking of buying a small pig to raise and first checking if its four limbs are healthy... Later she thought that this isn't talking about herself as a pig, hurriedly changing her words.

  Chou bean sprouts. Xia Fei coldly glanced at Zhan Yu, kicked away her long legs that were stretched out towards him, closed the door, and then sat in the driver's seat.

  "Hey, hey, my car! What's wrong with your brain and memory?!" The rear seat passenger looked up to see him about to shift gears and prepare to drive, and quickly sat up straight from the middle and pounced over.

  What a drag! Xia Fei Han's hand on the gearshift stiffened for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally got out of the car, throwing her skateboard into the trunk - the trunk lid could only be half-closed from then on.

  "The broken car can be thrown away." Xia Feihan couldn't help but mock as he got back on the car.

  "Great, great," Zhang Doudou's eyebrows opened with a smile: "It just so happens that you're abroad, and no one is taking care of your Ducati and Harley, I'll take care of them for you?"

  "Get lost!" was the brief response. Xia Fei's heart even thought that when she got back, she must lock up her two beloved cars well and, apart from regularly finding someone to take care of them, resolutely not let her touch them.

  "Petty," Zhang cut in, leaning back into the rear seat. Just scaring him a bit, she didn't even have a driver's license yet, and she wouldn't dare do anything that violated social laws and regulations. Sigh, it was still more comfortable to ride in a car, after riding that wind-and-fire wheel for so long, her whole body felt exhausted.

  It wasn't until I fell down that I realized the benefits of being healthy!

  "Hey, where are you going?" Suddenly, Zhan Liuli thought that this car's direction seemed to be heading towards her own home.

  "Shall I pick you up?" Xia Fei Han couldn't say such words, and he himself was a bit unbelievable that he would do so. If he said it out loud, she would definitely laugh at him to death - moreover, she was just careless, not stupid, and her behavior was too obvious, would she see through his thoughts?

  What am I thinking... even I don't know myself.

  "Hey, Xia's not cold! Ice Mountain King?" Zhang Dandan kicked his hand with her toes from behind - gently, safety first: "I'm talking to you, did you bring your ears or mouth?"

  Although she was not in good spirits, these days no one had argued with her and she actually felt a bit lonely. Now that Xia Fei Han had taken the initiative to appear and speak, she decided to let bygones be bygones and forgive him.

  Uh, forgive him what... Forgive that he almost ruined his own good thing? Or forgive him for exposing his perversion in front of himself?

  Uh, the latter, it seems like she did it herself? Others wouldn't know that she would go in while bathing...

  My heart sank, I pulled my foot back a bit and looked out the window. But then I jumped up again: "No way, you're really going to my house? Do you know that I rode for 40 minutes on mountain roads just to get here?! What's most hateful is finding out that all your hard work ends up being useless..."

  "Go back to sleep! I'll take care of sending you there tomorrow morning." Xia Fei Han couldn't stand her nagging anymore.

  "Who wants you to send it! I... huh, Xia Fei Han, are you here to pick me up?" Zhan Zhan's head finally turned to this question, just as Xia Fei Han had expected, her expression showed extreme suspicion.

  Xia Fei's face was a bit awkward, fortunately, she was behind him and couldn't see. Since he couldn't answer her question, he refused to respond.

  "Was it Xia Zhi Gege who asked you to pick me up?" War Doudou didn't think someone would be so kind, so he was trying to shift the credit to someone else: "It's not that either... if Xia Zhi Gege thought of this, he would have come himself... uh, wasn't it my dad who called you? ...Xia Fei Han! You'd better confess honestly! Otherwise, I absolutely won't get in your black car! Who knows on this dark and windy night, whether you're going to kidnap me and kill me to silence me! Hmph, are you going abroad so you want to eliminate any future troubles?"

  Sweat dripped from his forehead, the veins on his hands bulged as he gripped the steering wheel. How much self-control did one need to have in order to keep their temper in check at this moment... He really wanted to strangle her!

  Every time it's like this, he thinks carefully, calmly and peacefully, communicates with her, but she always finds a way to make him furious.

  "Shut up! Give me a break! If you keep nagging, I'll throw you out!" Three minutes later, in someone's incessant chatter, Xia Feihan finally couldn't bear it and burst into rage.

  He can now define his own behavior, driving so far in the middle of the night to pick up someone he dislikes, that's a standard stupid move.

  Who said we should trust our intuition? Does he think everyone is a prophet? Impulsiveness is the devil! We should believe in rational analysis! We should believe in our own judgment that has been formed over time!

  He and Zhan are born enemies! They are destined to spend their lives quarreling and not getting along!

  Fortunately, this is the last time, and I can completely say goodbye to her tomorrow. Four years, at least four years, when I come back, there should be a big change, right?

  "Wow! So fierce? Indeed a villain!" Waruwaru changed her posture, and her momentum weakened by several degrees, muttering to herself. Those who know the times are heroes, after all, the car is so comfortable, she didn't want to get out of it.

  The mountain road is stable, and through the panoramic sunroof, you can see the dense bright stars in the sky. Lying on the back seat, looking up at the starry sky, feeling as if the body is climbing higher and higher bit by bit, this feeling is very strange.

  Can you pluck stars from the sky? Warily stretching out his hand, he closed his eyes slightly, grasped at the void, and chuckled softly.

  One moment she's making a fuss and the next she's laughing, it's really as if her brain is disconnected. As long as she calms down, Xia Feihan can't be bothered to pay attention to her.

  "Brother Fei?" Warmed up suddenly called out in a soft voice, usually she only used this term when she needed something from him.

  This was normal, at least it used to be, but for some reason, when he heard her call him "Non-cold Gege", Xia Non-cold's entire body stiffened slightly.

  "Hey, big brother! Move over!"

  A clear picture emerged in her mind, and her voice still sounded so illusory.

  She looked at him with a smile, without cunning but only lively; she opened her bright big eyes and smiled cleverly at him: "Brother Fei Han, you are so sly..."

  ……

  Who says Qing Meng has no scars? That fake yet heart-wrenching appearance had long been carved into his heart.

  Xia Fei Han was slightly dazed.

  "Not cold, brother, how about we go to the top of the mountain to see the stars?" Warmed up and flattering a small face, leaning in close.

  There is a temple on the mountain, which is said to be very effective and also belongs to the national 5A-level scenic spot. However, I usually think it's too far away and have never been there.

  Xia was going to leave tomorrow, and she suddenly wanted to make a wish. It's said that if you're sincere, your wishes will come true. Although she wasn't superstitious, she also wanted to give herself some psychological comfort.

  Xia Fei Han's face was a bit flushed and she didn't dare turn her head to look at Zhan Zhu Zhu, opening the car window to let the night wind clear her mind.

  "The view from the mountaintop is several hundred times better than the view in my backyard." Zhan Er continued to tease him, knowing that Xia Fei Han was a materialist under the influence of scientific thought and didn't believe in Buddhism or Taoism.

  "I'm so annoyed." She's fed up with people, and her heart is fed up too.

  Digression
