Chapter 171 The Perfect Lin Zhiqing
Lin Zhiqing wanted to say as soon as he opened his mouth, "In my dream, you had a slim waist and long legs, and you were 1.9 meters tall. Even before you died, you still begged me to be with you."

But the words caught in her throat, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't bring herself to say them. Instead, she said:

"Let's find a safe place first, in case this man in black has accomplices,"

“Okay, sure.” Lu Huai didn’t object. He looked around at the route and finally led Lin Zhiqing back to the abandoned shop where they had been found earlier.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

However, one still needs to be a little flexible.

The incident happened suddenly, and they hid on the first floor because the route was clearer and it would be easier to escape if anything happened.

But now that the crisis has been temporarily averted, they went up to the second floor, where the view was more open, allowing them to better observe the surroundings and catch a glimpse of Lin Shi'an returning.

Lu Huai carried a stool to the corner, gesturing for Lin Zhiqing to sit down and rest.

He himself stood by the window to observe the situation.

While they were on the second floor, Lin Zhiqing thought of a more tactful way to put it:

"In my dream, there is a perfect world where every person and every object is exactly as I imagine them to be."

"I speculate that this is the core of the dream, in order to keep us in the most perfect world, which is the dream."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Lu Huai seemed to remember something and frowned slightly.
"No wonder my sister was so understanding in the dream, and she seemed much smarter."

Are these really siblings? They're so ruthless when it comes to finishing blows. If I told her that, you'd be beaten to death... Lin Zhiqing glanced at the outspoken Lu Huai and smiled slightly.

Meanwhile, Lu Nanyue, who was at the Lin family's residence, sneezed several times in a row.

Lu Huai showed no remorse: "In that case, my dream must be the same as yours; it is indeed a perfect world."

"In that dream, I called you A-Qing, and I was being chased by Brother Jiang..."

He looked slightly awkward at this point, but still looked at Lin Zhiqing intently, hoping she could clear up his doubts.

Both of them tacitly avoided the scene where Lu Huai proposed to Lu Huai.

The more Lin Zhiqing listened to Lu Huai's description, the more surprised she became.

His dream did indeed closely overlap with his own dream.

However… Lin Zhiqing still had some doubts when she thought of the skyscrapers, cars, motorcycles, and people dressed in modern clothes in her dream.

Did Lu Huai dream about these things?
She immediately asked, "Did you see anything strange?"

“Something strange?” Lu Huai thought for a moment, then shook his head: “Nothing.”

"Did you dream of anything you've never seen before?" Lin Zhiqing asked again to confirm.

Lu Huai shook his head again.

Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief. If not, their dreams should only have the same characters and events.

That would be best, as she wouldn't have to rack her brains to explain those modern scenes to Lu Huai.

From a psychological perspective, if familiar people are hypnotized at the same time, they can indeed experience a connection of dreams.

Because people who know each other may have had similar experiences or encountered similar situations.

The people in Lin Zhiqing's dream were indeed very familiar to Lu Huai, but the scenes should have developed according to the different worlds.

Things outside of one's own perception will not appear in dreams.

This seems to make sense.

Lin Zhiqing's beautiful eyes darted around, and she quickly thought of something else.

Since in her perfect world, Lu Huai is a tall and affectionate figure, what about Lu Huai himself in his dreams?

She stared at Lu Huai, her eyes bright: "Lu Huai, Nan Yue became understanding in your dream, but what about me?"

Lu Huai raised an eyebrow: "Why are you so curious?" "Ahem," Lin Zhiqing choked, "Isn't it because I'm curious?"

Fortunately, Lu Huai only wanted to tease her, and he chuckled before speaking:

"You are the same as you are now, nothing has changed."

"The same?" Lin Zhiqing frowned. "That shouldn't be the case. The me in your dream should be perfect, different from the me now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Huai interrupted her: "I'm quite certain that the you in my dream is exactly the same as you are now."

Wait a minute… Lin Zhiqing’s lips parted slightly. Did Lu Huai mean that she was now the most perfect in his heart?
No, no, no, how is that possible?

"Are you sure you're not mistaken..." Lin Zhiqing looked up and found Lu Huai staring intently at her, his eyes filled with an unprecedented seriousness.

“I’m not mistaken,” Lu Huai replied slowly.

Lin Zhiqing knew at a glance that Lu Huai was serious.

A strange emotion spread through Lin Zhiqing's heart, and she remained silent for a moment.

Just as Lu Huai was about to say something, footsteps suddenly came from downstairs.

The two men's thoughts vanished instantly, and they immediately became alert.

Lu Huai reacted quickly: "You stay here and watch over things, I'll go down and take a look."

As he spoke, he handed the sword to Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing didn't answer, but instead held her breath and listened carefully to the footsteps.

Seeing this, Lu Huai knew that she had her own thoughts, so he didn't disturb her further.

The footsteps stopped where they were, and then the person walked somewhat hurriedly towards the first floor of the shop.

Lin Zhiqing's eyes lit up: "It's my cousin!"

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the stairwell and, sure enough, saw the hem of Lin Shi'an's clothes.

“Cousin, we’re here.” Lin Zhiqing waved to Lin Shi’an.

Lin Shi'an turned his head abruptly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were safe and sound.

He pointed to the messy first floor and asked, "What happened here? How did you end up up there?"

"It's a long story," Lin Zhiqing quickly explained to his cousin.

Lu Huai couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

He knew Lin Zhiqing had keen hearing, but he didn't know she could also distinguish footsteps.

After Lin Zhiqing finished explaining, she turned to look at Lu Huai, noticed her surprised gaze, and then added:

"My cousin is a martial artist; his steps are very powerful and heavy."

"In addition, I am used to observing these things on a daily basis, which is why I was able to make the judgment."

Lu Huai understood; this must be knowledge from the School of Mind-Analysis.

He didn't ask any further questions; this was Lin Zhiqing's skill.

Lin Shi'an listened from the side, not paying attention to the footsteps, because he knew that Lin Zhiqing usually paid attention to such small details.

He was concerned about something else: "You just said someone wanted to kill you?"

Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Thanks to Lu Huai for saving me. The man's body is in the alley below, and he had no identification on him."

"So, I was indeed lured away." Lin Shi'an said with some guilt, "Zhiqing, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."

“Cousin, I know you’re angered.” Lin Zhiqing decided to have a serious talk with his cousin about this issue.
"But the situation is complicated now, and we must not do anything based on emotions."

"Only by remaining rational can one have the capacity for thought."
