Chapter 254 Strange Dream

Chapter 255 A Strange Dream

"Hey... So, Mr. Daoxie Masahiko, you are a graduate of Beihua University." In the Sea House, Sonoko started chatting with Daoxie, whom she just met. Perhaps because Xiaolan was there, the awkwardness on the beach just now no longer existed for Sonoko. "So, Mr. Daoxie, why did you come to this beach?"

"Well, that was just my lovelorn trip." Daoxie held a cigarette in his mouth and forced a smile. "My girlfriend dumped me cruelly, but just when I was depressed and staring at the beach in a daze, a very beautiful angel suddenly appeared in front of me. If my premonition is correct, Sonoko, you are the goddess of love who can save me from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Eh?! How can I be so embarrassed..." Sonoko's face instantly turned red. This made me, who was sitting next to her, speechless. Actually, Miss Sonoko was born into a wealthy family, and there should be countless boys around her. Why did she have to come to a place like this to hook up with an unknown person? After thinking about it, I seemed to have given myself an answer.

Being born into a Suzuki consortium can be said to be a blessing from three lifetimes, but this blessing is only material. In the Suzuki family, Sonoko has an older sister, Suzuki Ayako. Unlike the second daughter of Sonoko, Suzuki Ayako can be said to be a model of a lady from a noble family. She exudes aristocratic temperament in her every move. According to her father's order, she has an engagement with the third son of the Tozawa consortium, Tozawa Yuzo. It can be seen that even a second-generation head of the family like Ayako has to become a victim of the family's maintenance of the relationship with the chaebol, not to mention the carefree Sonoko. Although she can enjoy the material luxury of a princess, in terms of feelings, Sonoko can really be regarded as a lamb that has just been born. Although she has been advocating to fish... Find a boyfriend, in fact, her heart is full of curiosity and timidity. She is willing to put aside her identity and seek the so-called real emotions among the bottom of society. For her, it is a kind of catharsis, and at the same time, it is also a kind of sadness.

Boom!
The flush on Yuanzi's face hadn't faded yet when we heard the sound of a wine glass being dropped on the table. Looking up, we saw a dark-skinned young man wearing glasses looking at us expressionlessly.

"Your draft beer has been brought." The man's voice was deep, powerful, and full of confidence. He didn't sound like a waiter at all.

"Um, oh, thank you." Daoxie was startled by the indifferent look and hurriedly thanked him.

"Sir, please don't get cigarette ashes on the floor, otherwise it will be difficult to clean." Before leaving, the man turned back and said coldly to the Taoist Association.

"Uh, okay." After hearing the waiter's warning, he thanked him and put the cigarette in the ashtray on the table. After he left, he started talking to himself. "This waiter has a bad attitude."

"Well... But why do I feel like I've seen him there?" Xiaolan said, looking at the back of the waiter who had already left.

"Of course I have." Sonoko said somewhat dissatisfiedly. "Isn't he the son of the owner of the hotel we stayed in? I heard that he came back to help out during the summer vacation during high school."

"Huh? Why do you know something like this?" Xiaolan asked in confusion.

"Because, yesterday at the door of the hotel, he kept staring at us. So I asked the hotel staff."

"But why did he come to this store to help?" Xiaolan continued to ask.

"Who knows? Maybe this is the same hotel as that one." Yuanzi said indifferently. "That tile-roofed hotel."

"Well, do you know his other identity?" Sitting next to the garden, I rested my chin on the table with my hands and looked amused.

"Another identity? What?" Sonoko looked down at me.

"No, nothing." I smiled lazily, hiding the matter.

Another identity is Sonoko's real boyfriend, Kyogoku Makoto. I had forgotten about this person, but when I saw his strong muscles formed by long-term exercise and his steady steps. The protruding temples and sharp eyes under the lenses, I remembered him all of a sudden. And now I also remembered the man in front of me. It seemed that he wanted to harm Sonoko, but in the end it was Kyogoku Makoto who took action and confessed his love to Sonoko. Since Kyogoku Makoto is a good person, let's let things develop this way this time. Anyway, I remember that everyone who should die in the plot has died, and except that Sonoko was threatened, nothing seemed to happen. Let Kyogoku Makoto leave a good impression on Sonoko. Of course, in order to keep Miss Sonoko away from danger, it is also right to help them.

"Hey, Xun, where are you going?" After sitting here for a long time, Conan was puzzled by my sudden standing up.

"It's boring. I want to go back to the hotel to rest." I stretched and said lazily. "Sister Xiaolan, you guys can have fun. Just call me when it's time for dinner." I already knew the rest of the story. There was no point in staying here. Let them have fun. I'd better go back to the hotel and contact Shoulang to see if there's anything fun.

Just like that, I ignored Yuanzi's request to stay, left the shop and walked towards the hotel we came from.

"Xiaoxun is a really independent kid." Yuanzi couldn't help but mutter as she looked at the little figure.

"Ha, ha. Maybe Xiaoxun is the type who is afraid of trouble." Xiaolan excused me with a bitter smile. "But every time when it comes to a critical moment, Xiaoxun will act very handsome. For example, last time on the skyscraper, Xiaoxun really protected me at all costs."

"If he wasn't your brother, if it was someone else, he wouldn't even look at him twice..." Conan grumbled in a low voice with his eyes narrowed.

"Hey, Ran, do you think this kid has a crush on you?" Sonoko's gossip fire suddenly ignited. "Look, no one would protect you like that kid. Put down your Kudo and develop Xiaoxun."

"Sonoko... stop talking nonsense." Xiaolan blushed at what Sonoko said. "Xiaoxun is just a child."

"What does it matter? Anyway, he will be the same age as us in seven or eight years. Although we will be in our twenties by then, a woman who is three years older than us will be rich."

"Please, Sonoko." Xiaolan couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw Sonoko's words getting more and more outrageous. "I'm ten years older than Xiaoxun, it's impossible no matter how you think about it."

"It doesn't matter. A girl is ten years older than you, so everything is worth it."

"..."

"Haha, haha. What a bad fate." Listening to the gossip between the two, Conan already held his forehead and sighed.

On the other hand, I returned earlier so I didn't hear Xiaolan's conversation. In less than ten minutes, I returned to my room. I pulled out the notebook from the necklace. Before I could send a message to Shoulang, my phone rang with a pleasant ringtone. It was Shiho who called.

"Moshi Moshi, what's wrong, Shiho?" I asked directly.

"Can't I call you if there's nothing else?" Shiho's gentle voice was still as pleasant as ever.

"Of course, I'd love to." I chuckled. "It's a pity that I can't take you to the beach, the sunshine here is very nice."

"I don't want to get sunburned. I don't want to get heat stroke." Shiho smiled softly. "But the sunrise and sunset at the beach are still nice."

"Yeah, yeah." I laughed. "Once Alcatraz is built, we'll have plenty of time to watch the sunrise and sunset."

"I don't know how long that will take." Shiho shrugged. "Are you... ready to talk now?"

"Of course, what's the matter?" Listening to Shiho's tone, I seemed to feel that she had something to tell me.

"Um... nothing, just..." "Just?"

"Well, it's just that I had a weird dream last night."

"Dream?" I raised my eyebrows. "When did you start believing in these things?"

"I don't know either." Shiho seemed to want to explain. "I just think this dream is a bit strange, because... I have dreamed about it three times."

"Eh? How come there's a script in the dream?" I couldn't help but wonder. "If it was a good dream, you definitely wouldn't tell me. It must be something bad, right?"

"This... I can't say whether it's good or bad." Shiho said with a little worry. "In the dream, it was a winter day, and we were walking on the street with the children."

"Isn't that good?" I shrugged. "But you dreamed of snow in the middle of summer. Is the air conditioner too cold? Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I've thought about that, but I've already turned off the air conditioner and turned on the fan. But... forget it, maybe I'm overthinking it." After thinking about it, Shiho decided to give up on this ridiculous thing.

"Come on, you've already said it, so don't leave it halfway. I also want to know what kind of dream could confuse a realist like you."

"I... In my dream, when we and the children walked to a crossroads, I saw a person." After thinking about it, Shiho decided to say it out loud.

"I?"

"No, it's not you." Shiho was a little bit stumped. "But, it is related to you."

"..." At this point, I seemed to know who Shiho was talking about. At the same time, my voice became a little deeper. "And then?"

Sensing the change in my tone, Shiho paused for a moment. "She...she walked into a hotel, and we followed her in."

"Speak the key."

"...You, have met. Not only her, but also them."

"A fight started?"

"..yes."

"Hehe... Don't tell me that I was killed by them." I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"...Because I was right behind you, you blocked the bullet for me." Shiho's voice was a little choked. "Bing, am I stupid?"

"Isn't it always like this?" I couldn't help but chuckle. "Do you think I'm afraid of them?"

"No, but..." Shiho hesitated.

"Are you afraid of holding me back?"

"...sorry."

"You shouldn't say that." I lowered my voice. "Although I paved this road, the choice is still in your hands. Since you have chosen to walk side by side with me, how can you..."

"But you never gave me a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder, didn't you?" Shiho interrupted me. "I just hid behind you. Every time, every time you had to face it alone. I..."

"That is my fate, and I must face it." I interrupted her. "If your dream does come true by accident one day, please rest assured, Gin, Vermouth, or Ling. They can't take away what belongs to me. Be it you or my life."

“…” After hearing what I said, Shiho was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

"If you are really scared, then we can go back to El Cattras in the winter. Spending the winter there should be a good choice. Although it has not been built yet, it will definitely be no problem to quickly build a few villas in more than half a year."

"Heh... You always find a way to make bad things beautiful."

"There are always more ways to solve problems than problems, right?" I smiled softly. "Although escaping is one of them, going back home to spend Christmas is still a good choice."

"Winter vacation..." Shiho felt a warm feeling in her heart. "Then it's up to you."

"Yes. I'll go back to accompany you after I finish fishing with Miss Sonoko."

"Chi~" a light chuckle indicated that Shiho had recovered from her confusion.

"But why are you talking to me about dreams at this time?" I looked at the clock in the room. "It's almost lunchtime, and you're just getting up? Did you stay up late again?"

"I... just couldn't sleep. I got up and thought about the antidote, but I got so obsessed with it. By the time I realized what was going on..."

"Uh... Really, they say that finding the antidote can't be rushed." I frowned slightly, but soon returned to my usual playful and smiling self. "Well, speaking of not being able to sleep, aren't you used to not lying next to you? Well, it's okay, let's continue to share a bed when we get back."

"roll..."

"Rolling in what? The sheets?"

Click, beep... beep... beep...
