love in a dream

02

When the familiar prelude to "Can? You? Dig? It?" sounded, Tao Zhile and Li Qiuyan's mother-son dinner time was coming to an end, so he put down the bowls and chopsticks to get his mobile phone.

It's Li Ziming's call.

Only then did Tao Zhile realize that he seemed to have promised Li Ziming to go to the bar street in Houhai before going back to school tonight.

"I've arrived at People's Square, have you gone out yet?" Li Ziming asked as soon as the phone was connected.

"Not yet, I'm having dinner with my mother." Tao Zhile picked up an extra chicken leg in the bowl, took a bite, and asked, "Why are you swollen so early? It's past six o'clock now. ?”

"Well," Li Ziming said, "I don't want to stay at home."

Knowing the current situation of his family, Tao Zhile didn't ask much, swallowed the chicken leg and said, "Then wait for me, I'll take a taxi there later."

After hanging up the phone, Li Qiuyan had already handed the water glass to him, "Xiao Ming?"

"Yeah." Tao Zhile took a sip of water, wiped his mouth again, then stood up and began to clean up the dishes, "I'll do the dishes."

"Hey, I'll come, I'll come, what kind of dishes do you want you to wash?" Li Qiuyan snatched the bowls and chopsticks from his hand, "You go, pay attention to safety on the road."

Tao Zhile sighed lightly. Ever since she lived with her parents, Li Qiuyan never asked him to do any housework, and even his own clothes were insisted on several times before Li Qiuyan agreed to let him wash them by herself.

"Go quickly." Seeing him not moving, Li Qiuyan urged, "Is the money enough?"

"It's enough," Tao Zhile said, "Then I'll go first."

"Yeah." Li Qiuyan smiled gently at him, and stretched out her hand to rub his curly hair, "Be careful, it seems that you are not energetic all day today, don't be sleepy."

Tao Zhile responded again and again, while arranging her hair, she ran to the entrance to change her shoes.When it was time to go out, Li Qiuyan came out and warned, "Go back to school early, don't play too late, and it's still cold at night, so you can wear the thick coat you wore yesterday."

"Understood." Tao Zhile said, "You go to bed early too, I'll send you a message at school."

After leaving the house, Tao Zhile hailed a car and went directly to Houhai.

He may indeed have been sleepy. He slept last night until two o'clock this afternoon, but he didn't get rid of his tiredness. On the contrary, he still felt a little tired. He even yawned when he sat in front of Li Ziming. .

"Didn't you say you slept until two o'clock in the afternoon? Why are you still sleepy?" Li Ziming asked.

"Maybe I've slept for too long." Tao Zhile squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and ordered a glass of sake as well.

"It's not good to sleep too long." Li Ziming said casually.

Tao Zhilexin said that I don't want to either, it's because I had that dream again last night, and there was something even weirder in it.

Thinking of what happened in the dream, Tao Zhile was a little dazed again.Although he still remembered the dream last night, he didn't take it completely seriously.After all, things like "dream world", "dream emissary", "nightmare beast" are too unreal.

It can only be a dream.

It was already dark at this moment, although the temperature was still cool at night, but the bar street was extremely hot, fortunately Li Ziming chose Qing Bar near the river, it was not crowded and it was clean.

The bar was a little hot with the air conditioner on, Tao Zhile took off the beige cotton jacket on his body and put it aside.

Li Ziming arrived earlier than him, and he had already drank several glasses of sake, his face was a little red, he was leaning on the chair in a decadent figure, looking like he was drinking away his sorrows.

Tao Zhile took a sip of wine, then tentatively asked, "About your parents..."

"Hmm." Li Ziming put down his empty wine glass, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds before nodding his head in a sad and helpless tone, "The divorce agreement signed today."

Tao Zhile didn't know what to say for a while, so he touched his glass with the wine glass, and said again, "Drink less, you have class tomorrow."

He had the impression that Li Ziming's parents had always had a good relationship, and he hadn't heard of any inappropriateness, so a month ago he suddenly heard Li Ziming say that his parents might be getting a divorce. He didn't believe it, and even comforted Li Ziming that it might just be a quarrel. , but up to now, he can't say any words of comfort.

When the dust has settled, it can only be accepted.

The two were talking while drinking, Tao Zhile couldn't hold alcohol enough, he was already a little confused after drinking two glasses of low-alcohol sake, not to mention he was still a little sleepy now.

There were many people walking by the river, and Tao Zhile saw two tall boys in Hanfu soliciting business at the entrance of a bar. When his eyes fell on the red and white figures, he recalled the dream from last night in his mind. .

Seeing that he had started to squint his eyes, Li Ziming couldn't help laughing, "Why do I think you're a little absent-minded today?"

"No." Tao Zhile said, and after a pause, he suddenly leaned on the table, looked at Li Ziming and asked, "Did you dream last night?"

"No, what are you doing?" Li Ziming was a little confused.

"It's nothing, I had a strange dream." Tao Zhile took another sip of wine, then opened a pair of almond eyes with a serious expression, "If there is a world in the dream, would you believe it?"

"What." Li Ziming frowned and looked at him puzzled, "Did you drink too much? Or did you watch some sci-fi movie again? Parallel world?"

"..."

Tao Zhile didn't intend to talk about it with him anymore, anyway, he himself didn't really believe in the "dream world".

Li Ziming suddenly laughed again, "You don't want to say that Iron Man is still alive in the parallel world of Marvel, do you?"

When Iron Man was mentioned, Tao Zhile looked unhappy.

Seeing his expression, Li Ziming couldn't help thinking of Tao Zhile crying that night, it was the first time he saw Tao Zhile crying like that.

"As for a movie role, I still can't forget it."

It was because Li Ziming was such a poor little guy that no one wanted him now, that Tao Zhile didn't bother with him, and took another big gulp of wine without hearing it, which made his throat burn.

The two sat here for a while, Li Ziming felt uncomfortable, so he dragged Tao Zhile to the bar next door to dance disco.Tao Zhile was already a little dizzy, but after entering for a while, he was flustered and nauseated by the deafening music. If the DJ hadn't played an Iron Man theme song at the end, Tao Zhile wouldn't be able to stay there 3 minute.

But seeing that Li Ziming was quite happy, he endured it, and sat on the booth beside him, watching the men and women dancing wildly on the dance floor.

Who made Li Ziming the brother he had known for more than ten years?From elementary school to university all together.Although the university was not in the same major, Li Ziming did not know what path he took later, and the two lived in the same dormitory again.

Not to mention that the two of them were somewhat related in their families, so Li Ziming would have to call Tao Zhile his uncle.

As an elder, no matter what you do, you have to give way to the younger generation.

Tao Zhile doesn't like this kind of noisy occasion. He thinks that the DJ is probably also a fan of Iron Man. He played several Iron Man theme songs in a row, and Tao Zhile began to feel sad again when he heard a more soothing music. .

However, before he was sad for a minute, a rough-looking man suddenly sat next to him. He was not too far away from Tao Zhile, and his eyes swept over Tao Zhile.

When Tao Zhile noticed that he was looking over, the man suddenly smiled and approached him and asked, "Have we met somewhere? I think you look familiar."

The man smelled very strong of perfume, Tao Zhile frowned, and the man smiled and asked, "Are you a student of Ze University?"

"Excuse me, this is my place."

Before Tao Zhile could speak, Li Ziming appeared again. He frowned and looked at the man with a bad expression and said in a deep voice, "Let me go."

The man glanced at the two of them awkwardly, and then left.

Li Ziming looked helplessly at Tao Zhile who was staring at the stage, "Why are you in a daze."

Tao Zhile stared straight at the corner on the right side of the dance floor, and suddenly said, "Look at that person, isn't it a bit strange?"

Following his line of sight, Li Ziming saw a man who was not too tall, and even flinched a little.He was dressed in black from head to toe, and wore a black peaked cap with the brim pressed down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.

The air conditioner was turned on in the bar. Although not everyone wore cool clothes, there were very few people who were as strict as him.

The man is surrounded by beautifully dressed girls, and Tao Zhile noticed a minute ago that when he was twisting to the music, his arm kept brushing against the back of a girl wearing denim shorts intentionally or unintentionally.

Tao Zhile felt uncomfortable in his heart. Although the man's actions were not excessive, he intuitively thought that the man had malicious intentions. He sat up and said, "I'll go over and remind her."

Li Ziming probably thought the same as him, "I'll go, I know that senior sister."

"Oh." Tao Zhile sat down obediently without asking why he knew each other.

However, before Li Ziming walked over and spoke to his senior, the suspicious man had already pushed aside the crowd and was about to run away. Li Ziming immediately climbed over the railing of the dance floor and chased after him.

Tao Zhile's heart tightened, he took their coats and followed them.

This bar is not spacious at all, let alone the dim light and there are many people. Fortunately, Li Ziming is wearing a very flamboyant orange sweater tonight, and Tao Zhile can see it at a glance. .

But Tao Zhile was a bit late after all, and couldn't keep up completely. When turning out from the booth, he bumped into a tall man who suddenly appeared.

Tao Zhile, who was already dizzy, almost fell, subconsciously grabbed the man's arm and threw himself into his arms. He heard the man's muffled grunt and at the same time smelled a light gardenia fragrance.

The faint fragrance, which is incompatible with this noisy environment, is mixed with some alcohol, but it is not offensive at all.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tao Zhile stood up straight and apologized repeatedly.The running orange figure in front had already caught the wretched man. Tao Zhile was worried that they would conflict, so he staggered away to chase after him without thinking, but was suddenly pulled by his arm.

"Hey——" Tao Zhile turned his head and looked at the man who was pulling him.

Tall and handsome, especially a pair of deep peach eyes, wide eyelids and long eyelashes, Tao Zhile suddenly thought of his idol's eyes.

Just frowning and looking not in a good mood, Tao Zhile was about to continue apologizing, saying that he was in a hurry, when he suddenly heard this handsome guy say:

"Have I seen you?"

"..."

"No way." Tao Zhile had already seen that wretched man being controlled by the bar's security guards, and Li Ziming was also walking this way. He was relieved and didn't rush over. I felt dizzy when I came up, I drew my hand back a little and said: "I'm sorry for bumping into you, I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

When the people left, Jiang Xian still stood there watching Tao Zhile run towards the place where the crowd gathered.

"I said, isn't the way you strike up a conversation a little too old-fashioned." Cheng Ling, who was standing behind him, walked up to him, "Also, you want to be gay?"

Jiang Xian squinted at him, then turned his gaze to Tao Zhile, watching him walk out of the bar with another strange man.

"Let's go, let's see, you don't really like this kid, do you?" Cheng Ling said, "It's love at first sight?"

"Fuck you." Jiang Xian cursed.

The two walked out in opposite directions, and Jiang Xian suddenly asked again:

"I said I dreamed about him last night, do you believe it?"

The author says:

Jiang Xian is attacking!
