The Spirit World

Chapter 86: White Moonlight in the Dream
"So that's how it is... I don't seem to remember anything..." Lin'er said slowly, the plum blossom mark on her right forehead becoming lighter and lighter. Erica looked at Lin'er's current appearance, always feeling an indescribable sense of strangeness. She didn't know if it was because of the unreality of Lin'er herself, or because of the unreality of her own dream, reminding her that she was in a dream. The Meng'an tapir squatted on her shoulder, just like a little piglet who always wanted her to touch it.

"Now that Sister Lin'er has come out of that [Dream Counter-Reaction] and is no longer controlled by it, she can wake up from her dream." Erica touched Meng'an Mo's little head. Meng'an Mo tilted his head to look at her, squinting his eyes and enjoying it very much.

"Yeah. Let's go back early and not let them worry anymore..." Lin'er nodded to Erica. Her eyes were originally black, but they turned purple in an instant. Her pupils were shining like stars. She smiled, very charmingly. Her clothes also began to change into a purple long dress, glowing slightly.

He Chao has also told Erica how to wake up from the dream. Erica and Lin'er are both the masters of dreams. Because of the power of Meng'an Tapir, they both exist in Erica's dream at the same time, just like those people who enter other people's dreams to do evil. Lin'er is like a real object that does not exist in Erica's dream world. Because Lin'er herself is the master of another dream, she is different from the dream "Lin'er" created by Erica herself. Just like Meng'an Tapir, she cannot be created by any dream. The same goes for Lin'er. If she wants to wake up, she must rely on the power of Meng'an Tapir. Although Meng'an Tapir has no way to really take objects in dreams out of dreams, for example, Lin'er, as the master of dreams, also exists in the dream world, and cannot follow Meng'an Tapir back to He Chao's world. In simple terms, she must wake up with her body lying on the pile of vanilla. The dream master is still a part of the dream, but she travels into Erica's dream because of the dream power of Meng'an Tapir.

Lin'er was lying on the huge square cake in Erica's dream world. This strange cake without any stickiness instead exuded a wonderful fragrance. As a native of Wenti County, this unique square cake was probably only Erica who could dream of it. After all, who would dream of all the food from their hometown?

Thinking back to half an hour ago, what He Chao told Erica was to have a slightly normal dream, but now it seems that all that is left is He Chao smiling helplessly in front of the white thin curtain.

A little bit of green spiritual power flowed out from the back of the Meng'an Tapir and slowly entered Lin'er's temple. She floated in the air, and everything that happened in the dream began to appear one by one like a stream flowing backwards.

"Long time no see, Lin'er." She caught up with the young man in white. His heroic eyebrows and gentle eyes were looking at her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at this "forgotten" and "non-existent" boy who was "forgotten" by everyone in the welfare home.

"Where have you been? Brother Yufeng..." Lin'er looked at him. The young man was standing under the bright moonlight, his white shirt so clean. She was afraid that she had never "existed". The fat boy and the girl with buck teeth really scared her. The inexplicably replaced Chang Yufeng made her heart tremble.

"I'm always by your side...Lin'er...don't worry..." He was like the white moonlight, so, so bright.

"But, they all said that person was you...I..." Lin'er cried. Everything she had could be taken away from her, but except for him, this person who didn't belong to her, he couldn't leave, let alone disappear out of thin air!
"Hahahaha, they were just kidding you...do you believe it?" He certainly wasn't intentionally making fun of himself, the way he squinted his eyes and smiled still seemed to be smiling into his heart.

"Just...kidding..." Lin'er stared at the young man blankly. She stood in front of him with her hands on her chest, at a loss as to what to do.

The young man in white hugged her all of a sudden without any warning. She looked up at him, the moonlight shining on his face. She was a little surprised and a little happy.

"Brother Yufeng..."

"Shh... This time, I really want to leave..."

"Why... why?"

"For you, my Lin'er...we have always been friends, haven't we? As friends, we always hug each other before parting..."

"I still don't know where you want to go! Why leave!?" Lin'er pushed him away. She was afraid that it was really a farewell hug, a separation that would last forever. If those "guys" really deceived her and played a joke on her, then she would rather believe that it was true, because in this way, maybe Brother Yufeng could also play a joke on her. All this was just a joke of Brother Yufeng, right?
"I'm going to a very far place, and you'll be leaving here tomorrow too... Follow your new uncle and aunt, they'll become a family with you... and I, too, need to find my own 'family'."

There was a pause after the word "family", and the young man in white seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with him.

Maybe sometimes, it's really like this, parting, parting again and again, but, although they have never been separated in the welfare home, it seems like they have been separated for a long time. Lin'er thought so, and even some memories emerged around her. Is it really like this? Is Brother Yufeng going to find his family too? But uncle and aunt are not her real family, right?

However, Lin'er couldn't say anything. How could she stop such a request? All she could do was cry silently. The tears she wanted to hold back never gave up struggling out of those beautiful black eyes.

"Don't cry, Lin'er... We will always have a chance to meet again... Maybe, after I leave, you will have a bright future, parents who love you very much, who are not blood relatives but are very close to you. Maybe you will also meet a husband who will love you and cherish you all his life. Although you are still young, I shouldn't say this, but just like a dream come true, the person who loves you, cherishes you very much, and stays with you for the rest of your life will eventually come to you... I need to leave eventually to find the person who belongs to me..." His eyes were always looking at her, emitting a beautiful white light in the moonlight. When he spoke, it was as if he was performing a perfect opera. Every movement was like the person he was talking about, the person he was talking about. But in the end, it was like the end. He put his hand on her head and said lightly: "Goodbye... my Lin'er"

That tear clearly shouldn't have fallen, but it was so unbearable that it kept swirling around in the corner of his eyes.

Although Lin'er will suffer because of him again, this time may be the last time. In this dream world, he can dominate Lin'er's fate. Even this time, he will make Lin'er escape the tragic fate.

He looked at her crying blankly. Everything she was reluctant to leave was about to go away. He smiled and waved to her. She just cried, but her eyes were always fixed on him, without changing.

Lin'er opened her eyes, her purple pupils looking at everything in front of her, a fragrant aroma flowing around her nose, it was a special vanilla, she lay on it, sat up, the cute Meng'an tapir lying on her skirt walked down, fell to the ground, and soon jumped onto He Chao's shoulder again.

"Are you awake? Junior Sister Lin'er?" He Chao looked at this still somewhat confused junior sister happily, the sweat on his face swirling around the dimples.

"You are……"

"My name is……"

"His name is He Chao, my little grandson." It was the voice of the old doctor.

"Grandma Doctor!" Lin Er looked at the old doctor and nodded respectfully. She also nodded to He Chao: "Thank you, Senior Brother..."

Although He Chao felt a little embarrassed because his grandmother interrupted him, he still responded with a smile.

"Junior Sister Lin'er, I'm glad you're okay. As for [Dream Fan], you should pay more attention to rest and don't practice too much or overuse your spiritual power, which would give [Dream Fan] a chance to take advantage of you."

"Okay, I'll pay attention. Thanks for the reminder, Senior Brother!"

"It's nothing." He Chao slowly put the porcelain Meng An Tapir into his sleeve. Lin'er looked at the brother and sister on the pile of vanilla. Erica had sat up and yawned cutely, but Chang Yufeng was still motionless. Lin'er looked at the boy who fell asleep peacefully. There seemed to be stars surging in his purple pupils. Slowly, it was all him.
