My Exclusive Dream World Adventures-Chapter 127 - 127 dont go

Chapter 127: 127, don’t go Chapter 127: 127, don’t go Chen Xu woke up when it was almost dark outside, his headache had eased a bit, but his mouth was incredibly dry. He got up to drink some water and just as he sat up, he saw a cup placed on the bedside cabinet with a note underneath.

He took out the note, and with the little light seeping in from the window, began to read, “This is plum water prepared by Grandma; she says it can relieve a hangover, remember to drink it when you wake up.”

A smile broke out across his face, he put the note in his pocket, picked up the cup which was still warm, and gulped it down. He immediately felt much better.

After putting the cup back in its place, he got up, pulled open the door, and went out.

There were no lights on outside, nor were there any people. He went downstairs and there was also no one in the living room, just a small nightlight shining.

The house was built a few years ago by his two uncles. It was newly renovated and in no way inferior to houses in the city. It was just that Grandma was used to being frugal and often reluctant to turn the lights on.

From the kitchen, the sound of conversation wafted over. He walked towards it and saw everyone was in the kitchen—Yang Jinxia and Grandma were seated at a low table, picking vegetables, and Third Aunt was frying dishes by the stove.

“You’re awake,” Yang Jinxia said upon seeing him, asking, “Does your head still hurt?”

“Much better. Thanks for the plum water,” Chen Xu responded, and then called out, “Third Aunt.”

Third Aunt laughed and said, “You sly boy, you’ve quietly found yourself such a beautiful girlfriend. You even kept it a secret from your mom and just sneaked her here to see your Grandma.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu knew he was doomed—she must have already called his mom. By evening, his mom would certainly call to investigate, and he had no idea how he would explain.

Drinking really caused problems—had he not been drunk, he would never have been so careless as to bring Yang Jinxia to Grandma’s place.

Beside him, Yang Jinxia explained, “Third Aunt, you’ve misunderstood; actually, we’re not in that kind of relationship yet.”

“Really?” Third Aunt looked at the two of them with a teasing glance, smiled and said no more.

Chen Xu could only hope for the best, thinking with her explanation, at least he had an excuse to fend off his mother.

Soon, the meal was ready, and it was brought out to the dining table in the living room.

Chen Xu turned on the lights, turned off the nightlight by hand, and began setting out the bowls and chopsticks.

Once everyone was seated, Third Aunt brought out a glass bottle from under the TV cabinet and asked Yang Jinxia, “Do you want to try some rice wine? Grandma made it especially for women in postpartum confinement, but I sneaked out two bottles.”

Yang Jinxia said, “I can’t drink anything with a high alcohol content.”

“The alcohol content is quite low. Let me pour you a little to try,” Third Aunt offered a small cup, pouring her a small portion.

Yang Jinxia took a sip and found it softly smooth and instantly liked it, saying, “It’s sweet and really good.”

Chen Xu cautioned her, “Don’t drink too much, the wine isn’t strong but it has a strong aftereffect.”

Third Aunt asked him, “Do you want some?”

“No, thanks,” Chen Xu shook his head, having already had too much to drink that day, even the smell of wine made him want to vomit.

The four chatted leisurely as they ate, creating a cozy atmosphere. Grandma seemed particularly happy, frequently serving Chen Xu more food, urging him to eat up.

Before they even finished eating, Chen Xu’s mother called. He put down his chopsticks, took his phone outside, and then answered.

On the phone, his mom kept asking about Yang Jinxia. It took him a lot of effort to finally rid himself of the interrogation. Seizing the opportunity, he also persuaded his mom to cancel the blind date planned for after the New Year.

After hanging up, he felt he was quite clever.

When he returned home next year, all he needed was an excuse to claim they’d already broken up, and this issue would be settled.

Going back inside, he saw they had finished eating, but some dishes were saved for him. He sat down to continue eating, finishing all the leftover food. Then, he collected all the bowls and plates into the kitchen.

When he finished washing the dishes and came out, he heard Yang Jinxia’s girlish laughter, asking, “What’s so funny that’s got you all in such good spirits?”

Grandma said with a smile, “We’re looking at your childhood photos.”

Chen Xu saw Yang Jinxia holding an old-fashioned photo album and couldn’t help but feel a bit of a toothache—that album contained pictures of him up to the age of seven, with plenty of embarrassing histories.

He said helplessly, “What’s so interesting about that.”

“It looks good,” Yang Jinxia’s voice was a bit sweeter than usual.

Chen Xu sensed something was off and looked closely. He saw her fair face flushed with redness, her eyes seemingly brimming with liquid light, and her smile clearly showing a hint of drunkenness.

He asked, “How much did you drink?”

“Not much.”

Right, she was indeed drunk.

“Alright, I’ll take you upstairs to rest,” Chen Xu took the photo album from her hands and saw the page it was open to—there was the photo of him at three years old in split pants.

He closed the album and set it on the table, pulling her to stand up.

She got up unsteadily, looking a bit dazed, and said, “Goodnight, grandma, Third Aunt.”

“Mhm, you should also rest early,” Grandma said with a pleased smile.

Third Aunt cautioned, “Chen Xu, take good care of her, you hear?”

Chen Xu pretended not to hear as he steadied her up the stairs. After a few steps, her strength dwindled, and her entire weight leaned on him. It was difficult to maneuver like this, so he simply lifted her in his arms.

Upstairs, he carried her to the room she had slept in that afternoon and laid her on the bed. He said, “The conditions here are quite simple; make do for tonight.”

After speaking, he was about to leave.

“Don’t go,” Yang Jinxia held on to him, her voice soft and whiny, as if she were cooing, “It’s dark here.”

He said, “Then I’ll turn on the light.”

Here in the countryside, there were no streetlights outside, so at night, without lights, everything was pitch-black. Moreover, it was extremely quiet, with only the faint chirping sounds to be heard.

“No, I want you to talk to me,” she held onto his hand and pressed it against her face.

Chen Xu felt her touch soft, slick, and burning hot. He spoke softly, “You’re drunk.” He reached out to turn on the small nightlight plugged in at the head of the bed. Its faint white glow added a hazy atmosphere to the room.

Her compliant hair lay naturally scattered on the pillow, revealing a smooth forehead, and in those eyes, there seemed to be a layer of ripples fluttering delicately under the hazy light, shimmering with a glow he had never seen before.

His heart tightened.

“Go to sleep.”

After a while, he whispered, gently caressing her face with his thumb.

“I’m scared,” she closed her eyes and said softly.

Chen Xu’s voice was very gentle as he soothed her, “It’s okay, I’m right here.”

She murmured, “Promise me, you’ll stay with me forever.”

Chen Xu wanted to say “Yes,” but the word felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn’t speak it.

In the silence, she spoke as if in a dream, “I was once trapped in a cave. It was very dark, very cold, and very quiet. I thought I was dead. Later, my grandma woke me up. That’s when I knew I was still alive.”

“After that, I couldn’t stay in too dark places. If it’s too quiet and there’s no one beside me, I would think I was dead. My grandma was very worried that one day I would fall asleep and never wake up. She called me every day to wake me up. After she fell ill, she hired someone specifically to wake me.”

Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about someone else. Listening, Chen Xu felt a heavy stone press upon his heart. Finally, he understood what had happened during her episode in her dream.

In the room, her murmuring voice continued, “Until three months ago, I had a dream where I saw a man. When I woke up from it, I no longer needed someone else to wake me. I knew it must have been because of the man in the dream that I had a reason to live.”

“The first time I met you, I felt that you were him.”

Hearing this, Chen Xu felt a sharp tug in his heart, bent down, and hugged her tightly.

At some point, her eyes had reopened, her right hand resting on his chest where his heart beat, as she spoke faintly, “I know we’re not from the same world. Who knows when we’ll part. I just hope that here, there will always be a place for me…”

Chen Xu covered her mouth, “Don’t speak anymore.”
