Chapter 197 The Last Nightmare
Chapter 197 The Last Nightmare
Du Yan had already planned to guide Cheng Yu to continue to remember the past during this exchange, and to convince the other party that he is a real person, not a person in a painting or a dream .
This gradually deepened the impression, and when Cheng Yu was convinced of the authenticity of Du Yan's existence, he would be able to appear in this dream world.
However, he had only written a few sentences, and the familiar feeling came again.
Du Yan looked at the study in front of him, feeling a little helpless, and didn't know what was going on with Cheng Yu.He obviously hadn't slept for nearly three days, but this sleep was so short, and he didn't know what he had dreamed to wake up from the dream.
Cheng Yu in the next room sat up from the bed with an expression of disbelief on his face.
His dream today is a continuation of the previous dream.In fact, this kind of situation rarely occurs. Most of Cheng Yu's dreams are fragmented, like chaotic memory fragments. He can only remember some facial expressions and words of the dreamer, but there are few continuous plots.
Since bringing the painting back from the tomb, everything has changed, and the chaotic fragments have become continuous memories.
Just like this time, Cheng Yu dreamed that he confessed his love, the follow-up of the eldest princess undressing.
What happened next was not as glamorous as expected. The eldest princess unbuttoned her belt and pulled open the placket, revealing her flat chest.
Cheng Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, ranging from shock to disbelief, but he didn't have the anger or disgust of infatuation.
Then, he heard the princess who exposed the man's body in front of him say: "I am the son Yan."
Hearing these words, Cheng Yu felt as if he had fallen from a height, falling from a dream into reality.
He woke up not because he was frightened by knowing the true gender of the princess, but because the words spoken by the person in the dream were exactly the same as the ones that appeared in the notebook.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu turned on the light and went straight to find the diary that was placed next to the pillow before going to bed.
Before falling asleep, he just had the idea of giving it a try, thinking that he might be able to lure out the mysterious person who left his handwriting.
Unexpectedly, the diary was spread out to the side, and a few lines of writing appeared in the blank space.
With the previous dream as a basis, Cheng Yu was not too surprised, but directly picked up the diary, and took the writing on it into his eyes word by word.
After a long while, he smiled and said in a low voice, "So it was you who told me to continue my dream."
Afterwards, Cheng Yu took the sandalwood box brought back from his hometown by the butler from the side. Inside the box was the handbook he had read when he was young.
Cheng Yu opened the handwriting and found the same mysterious characters in the diary, carefully comparing them one by one.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what he remembered, and it was the same person's handwriting.
Cheng Yu didn't try to explain the rationality of this. He only knew that everything in front of him was real, the handwriting was real, the picture scroll was real, and maybe those things in the dream were real.
"Young Master Yan."
Cheng Yu recited these three words in his mouth, only to feel that his heart, which had been empty since birth, gradually became full with the appearance of these three words.
Ever since he could remember, Cheng Yu felt that he was not complete, and there was always something empty in his heart.
He always felt that there seemed to be something missing in this world, and the missing part was the most important thing to him.
It wasn't until the age of ten, when he started dreaming, that the sense of loss in his heart would be satisfied for a moment in the dream.When Cheng Yu entered his teenage years, he understood why the emptiness in his heart came from.
The man in the dream came with him, but he didn't know where he went.So he has been searching, looking for the person who should become his half body.
But in the dark, there was another voice telling him that the man hadn't come.The reason for accompanying this person seems to be lost in the torrent of time, and he does not know where he has gone.
Maybe in this life, I can't wait for the half body that belongs to me.
This sense of despair makes Cheng Yu's heart always dead silent, and only in the dream can he find a moment of peace.
Everyone knows that Governor Cheng is the most valiant and fearless on the battlefield, but everyone who knows him can praise Cheng Yu for being a hero in troubled times.
Only Cheng Yu knew that it was because he was always in hopeless waiting that he was not afraid of the coming of death.He even secretly hoped in his heart that maybe in the next reincarnation, he could wait for the destined person.
Now, it's completely different.
"My son Yan, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
***
Since that day, Du Yan and Cheng Yu have maintained this peculiar way of communicating.
Through exchanges in the diary, Du Yan led to Cheng Yu's dream, and gradually moved forward.Now Cheng Yu's dream has come to the time when Du Yan ascended the throne and Cheng Yu got mixed up with the mission.
Cheng Yu always had a gloomy face, his expression became more and more gentle, and he even smiled frequently.
Even the servants in the mansion couldn't help discussing whether the warlord had a sweetheart. He was always in a good mood these days, and he was very tolerant of small mistakes.
Cheng Yu had heard this rumor, but he did not strictly forbid the servants in the mansion to discuss it, because he felt that it was the truth and there was nothing to hide.
The only thing that made Cheng Yu dissatisfied was that he hadn't met Young Master Yan in reality yet.
Cheng Yu is not stupid. From the analysis of his relationship these days, he can figure out that every time he dreams of Prince Yan, the other party will appear and write in the diary.
He didn't understand why Young Master Yan didn't want to come out to meet him. If the other party was the soul in the portrait, why he could only appear when he was asleep.
Cheng Yu didn't dare to ask. He remembered hearing the old man say that there was a taboo about ghosts, that is, don't ask them about their origins.If you ask about the origin of the soul, it may stimulate the other party, reminding them that they have died, and finally lead to the disappearance of the soul.
Cheng Yu asked himself that he couldn't bear the consequences, so he could only accept the current way of getting along.
Du Yan didn't know what was going on in Cheng Yu's mind at all, he just felt that things were very strange, and Cheng Yu had obviously accepted these facts.But he can only appear when Cheng Yu is dreaming, as long as he wakes up, he will return to the picture scroll forever.
Just when Du Yan felt that it was almost time to tell Cheng Yu that he was not a painting demon or something, Cheng Yu disappeared.
Before leaving, Cheng Yu naturally informed Du Yan of his movements.
When the war broke out, Cheng Yu led the troops to the front line. Perhaps because of the urgency of the war, the frequency of Cheng Yu's dreams became extremely low when he was on the front line.
Du Yan could only appear once in a few days, and even if he did, he could only wander around in the empty mansion, unable to leave too far away.
If things were so simple, Du Yan would not feel that Cheng Yu disappeared.Things have changed since last week. Until today, Du Yan has not been able to come out of the painting for nearly half a month.
Just when he was anxious and worried about whether Cheng Yu had an accident, there was finally movement in the mansion.
It was not Cheng Yu who hadn't seen him for a long time, but the housekeeper Cheng Bo who opened the door and entered the study.
Cheng Bo's complexion was not very good-looking, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his eyes were black and blue, his hair seemed to be a lot grayer, and he looked much older.
He stood in front of Du Yan, sighed, and said, "I hope it will be useful."
Du Yan's perspective changed, and then his eyes went dark, as if he had been put into the sandalwood box again.
Thinking about what Cheng Bo said just now, Du Yan felt a little uneasy. Judging from the situation in front of him, Cheng Yu must have had an accident.
During the communication with Cheng Yu, Du Yan knew a little about Cheng Bo.He is a servant of the married family, and he is loyal to Cheng Yu.Cheng Bo certainly would not do such a thing as stealing the painting, and the only explanation is that Cheng Yu asked him to take the painting somewhere.
Du Yan judged from the conversation and the sound that he was in the car, and then learned what happened to Cheng Yu from Cheng Bo's conversation with other people.
It turned out that Cheng Yu disappeared because he was seriously injured in the battle.The battle he led at the front was victorious, but he was accidentally injured near the end of the campaign.
Cheng Yu was sent directly to the hospital for emergency treatment. Although his life was barely saved, he has not yet regained consciousness and has been in a coma.
Not long ago today, Cheng Yu had just regained consciousness for a few minutes. The first thing he said when he woke up was to report the password of the locker and order the housekeeper to bring the picture scroll and diary to the hospital.
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu fell into a coma again.
According to the doctor, Cheng Yu was not completely out of danger, and this time he became sober only because of too much obsession in his heart.The next thing to do is to do your best and obey the destiny. If Cheng Yu's will to survive is strong enough, he might be able to survive this catastrophe.
Du Yan finally knew the reason why he was trapped in the picture scroll all this time. Cheng Yu lost consciousness and fell into a coma, naturally he couldn't dream.
Du Yan knew very well that this was a dream world, and the dream master would never dream himself to death no matter what.
However, he was in a dream that was similar to the real world, and his feelings for Shao Lingheng were not as strong as before, so Du Yan couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
After about half an hour, Du Yan saw the light again, and Cheng Yu, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, appeared in front of him.
After Cheng Bo hung up the scroll, he communicated with the doctor who came to round the ward.
The doctor's statement is still the same. If Cheng Yu can wake up again today, the situation will be very optimistic.
The doctor suggested that Cheng Bo find Cheng Yu's relatives or lovers and talk about some good memories to stimulate his survival consciousness.
Cheng Yu's parents are both dead now, and he has no brothers or sisters. Cheng Bo, the housekeeper, can be regarded as his only relative.
Cheng Bo recalled Cheng Yu's growth process, and found that he couldn't find anything that the young master cared about.
At this moment, Cheng Bo's eyes fell on the diary, and if he calculated seriously, his young master probably cared most about the painting on the wall and this diary.
Thinking of this, Cheng Bo didn't care too much, he opened the diary and began to read the contents above.
"..."
Du Yan, who was staying in the painting, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel that there was nothing too outrageous in the diary.Otherwise, it would be a shame to be executed in public if someone read it out.
For Cheng Yu, Cheng Bo's urgent move had an excellent effect.
The specific manifestation is that Du Yan appeared in the ward that night.
It was already late at night, Cheng Bo was resting in the next room, only Cheng Yu with his eyes closed was left in the ward.
Du Yan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at Cheng Yu who was so weak that he could barely see any vitality.
Du Yan thought of Cheng Yu's handsome appearance since the reunion, but now his cheeks are so thin that they are almost sunken.He just felt a pain in his heart and didn't know what to do.
Now I am just a wandering soul stored in the painting, without any extraordinary ability.
Seeing that Cheng Yu's lips were dry and chapped, he got up and wanted to dip some water on the cotton swab to moisten the other's lips.
It was only when Du Yan's hands were empty that he realized that he was really concerned and confused, and he actually forgot the fact that he could only get in touch with other things through Cheng Yu.
He originally wanted to hold Cheng Yu's hand, but on second thought, he chose to bend down,
Du Yan gently kissed Cheng Yu's lips, but he didn't know what his purpose was, whether it was to get in touch with the world, or just to feel at ease.
He closed his eyes, felt the warmth of his lips, and felt a little relieved. Cheng Yu still existed alive, and did not just turn into a cold corpse.
After a while, Du Yan only felt his lips being gently sucked, and then the person who was pressing his lips spoke.
"Is this a favor before I die? It finally made my wish come true."
Cheng Yu's voice was extremely hoarse, so weak that it almost disappeared into the air, but Du Yan, who was very close to him, could hear it clearly.
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Yu felt a tingling pain on his lips, and then his warm body retreated.
Under the dim light, what Cheng Yu saw was like a dream, no, it was a more beautiful scene than a dream.
Young Master Yan in fine attire looked at him and raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's so hard for you to see me, and you're willing to die just like that?"
Cheng Yu laughed, only feeling that the severe pain of the wound became a kind of enjoyment after waking up.Because it reminded him that everything in front of him was real, not a dream, nor an illusion.
"Unwilling, it was because I was unwilling that I escaped from the Palace of the King of Hell."
"It's your acquaintance."
Cheng Yu stared blankly at the person in front of him, reluctant to move away for a moment.
Obviously, he has seen the face countless times in his dreams, from the hairline to the curvature of the mouth, he can clearly draw it even with his eyes closed.
After everything turned into reality, Cheng Yu's heart was still full of shock and joy, he almost greedily took everything into his eyes and kept it in his heart.
Du Yan felt a little uncomfortable with his direct gaze, he frowned, and said in a bad tone: "What are you looking at?"
Maybe it was because he was too weak from the injury, or maybe it was because the surprise made his head a little dizzy, Cheng Yu subconsciously said a word.
"Why are you still wearing women's clothing? If you like it, I'll ask Cheng Bo to go to the tailor shop to order you some Western clothes..."
"Cheng Yu!" Du Yan was furious, "You still dare to ask me why I dress like a woman? It's all your fault!"
