There was an unhappy smacking sound from the other end, and then the phone was hung up.

Yu Xiude wasn't upset when the call was hung up, because based on his understanding of Fang Xuemu, it meant that his goal had been achieved.

This good sister of mine will take the initiative to make up for the mistakes she made.

He looked at the watch and found that it was already ten o'clock in the morning. After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiu De turned his gaze to the bedroom door.

It's still early for work on Monday, which means...

You can sleep a little longer.

"For a little while."

With this thought, all the distorted and false illusions in the living room disappeared without a trace, and the apartment returned to its normal state. This meant that the lingering bad mood of the owner of this place had finally completely dissipated.

Yu Xiu De's mood improved again.

……

Just as Yu Xiu De was reliving the warmth of his bed over the weekend, on the other side of the phone that had been hung up, in a bedroom with curtains not open and no light coming in.

A petite and cute girl with short hair, wearing furry pajamas and a pair of scarlet eyes, stood in front of a full-length mirror, holding a doll. She murmured to the girl in the mirror who looked exactly like her, but with pure white eyes:

"As expected..."

Her tone was intensely morbid, completely different from the flammable and explosive tone she used when communicating with Yu Xiu De.

"He's the only one who can really tell us apart, isn't he?"

Real Dreamland: Chapter 5: A Bowl of Water, Not Evenly Balanced

Looking at Fang Xuemu in the mirror with a sickly smile, eyes flashing scarlet light, and tear marks gradually fading away, Fang Xuehan, who did not shed tears in the mirror, was confused and even a little at a loss.

Because Fang Xuemu really cried just now.

Fang Xuehan didn't quite understand why Fang Xuemu was crying. It was obviously a happy thing that her brother, who had lost contact with her two years ago, reconnected with them...so why was she crying?

This should be something to be happy about!

Although Fang Xuehan could not understand Fang Xuemu, just as Fang Xuemu could not understand Fang Xuehan, at least she knew that Fang Xuemu actually cared about Yu Xiude very much.

His admiration for his elder brother is probably only slightly less than his own, but this is actually very rare for Fang Xuemu... After all, Fang Xuemu doesn't even like their biological mother.

Of course, there is another possibility.

"Are you dreaming?"

Fang Xuehan looked worried.

Although different from Fang Xuemu who was often taught by Yu Xiude, Fang Xuehan, who was gentle and obedient, had never experienced those nightmares.

The way they coexist is also very special. As two-faced people, Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan's memories, emotions, and senses are incompatible, so Fang Xuehan naturally cannot know what Fang Xuemu experienced in Yu Xiude's dream.

But she could also tell from Fang Xuemu's occasional words and behavior after the dream that those nightmares were terrifying and... efficient.

Fang Xuehan did not doubt whether Yu Xiude could pull Fang Xuemu into a dream and teach her a lesson just by relaying words on the phone.

In Fang Xuehan's childhood memories, there are some scenes that are still fresh in her mind - often the "self" who was occupying her body arrogantly and speaking rudely to Yu Xiude in the previous second, seemed to have experienced unbearable pain in the next second, with tears flowing uncontrollably, and the body returned to itself as if it had been electrocuted.

Afterwards, the remaining fear in the body and the secreted hormones even affected Fang Xuehan, who was not dragged into the dream by Yu Xiude to be taught a lesson... It can be imagined that in the dream, Yu Xiude really hit Fang Xuemu hard.

But as time passed, when Fang Xuemu discovered that as long as she didn't make any mistakes, Yu Xiu De would not do anything to her, even if she was like Fang Xuehan, willing to study hard, not litter, and be polite... even if she just tried hard, Yu Xiu De would give her and Fang Xuehan the same reward, Fang Xuemu felt not only fear but also respect.

Because in the past, Fang Xuemu had never been regarded as an independent person. Her biological mother regarded her as a ghost possessed by Fang Xue or the embodiment of Fang Xue's hysteria because of her hot temper. Only the gentle Fang Xuehan was regarded as the real Fang Xue.

Yu Xiu De was the first person to admit that Fang Xue Mu and Fang Xue Han existed as independent individuals.

……

"……snort!"

Fang Xuemu was too lazy to say more to Fang Xuehan.

Even though the relationship between the two has softened under Yu Xiu De's suppression, it does not mean that Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan have become a pair of good sisters who can talk about anything.

After all, for two wills with complete personality consciousness, no matter how fairly and justly the quotas for the use of the body are distributed, it cannot meet the most basic needs deep in their souls.

How can a complete soul not have its own body?

But now Fang Xuemu has given up looking for an opportunity to kill Fang Xuehan and completely take possession of this body.

It wasn't just because of Yu Xiude's teachings. It was true that Nightmare had the ability to completely make one side of a Two-Faced Man completely lost in dreams. This terrifying external force of suppression had caused Fang Xuehan and Fang Xuemu to endure the most mutually loathing, confrontational, and dangerous period. But it wasn't just because of this, it was mainly because...

Looking in the mirror, Fang Xuemu's eyes revealed concern for Fang Xuehan, and this seemingly silly "other self", made her click her tongue in dissatisfaction.

If you devour a fool, you will become a fool yourself, so forget it.

"Humph! He doesn't want to go home, and he thinks everyone is begging him to come back... Who would want a freak like him to come back?"

While thinking, Fang Xuemu tore the limbs of the toy in her arms with all her strength, which made Fang Xuehan in the mirror feel distressed.

But Fang Xuehan did not say anything to stop her because she was worried about Fang Xuemu's emotions.

Fang Xuehan and Fang Xuemu are different.

She had never thought of making Fang Xuemu disappear. In her eyes, Fang Xuemu was her sister, just with a bad personality and problematic values... But she was still her sister, so Fang Xuehan cared about Fang Xuemu very much.

It's just that the difference in thinking between the two is so great that they can't understand each other.

Boom, boom, boom.

A familiar knock on the door sounded.

Standing in front of the mirror, the girl in cute pajamas turned down the corners of her mouth, and an indescribable expression of disgust appeared on her childish face. She clenched her silver teeth, and her scarlet eyes looked out the door with disdain, which then quickly faded away.

"Tsk!"

The distorted facial muscles returned to normal, the arrogant and unreasonable temperament was replaced by a gentle and weak one, the scarlet was covered by pure white, and Fang Xuemu returned control of the body to Fang Xuehan.

"..."

Fang Xuehan, who knew who the visitor was, looked at herself in the mirror and hesitated to speak. However, under the pressure of Fang Xuemu's gaze in the mirror, she stopped talking and whispered "Here she comes", wiped Fang Xuemu's dirty face, and ran to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged woman in a simple apron standing outside with a plate of fruit and a slightly uneasy look on her face.

"...Xuehan?"

Fang Meifen noticed that her daughter's pupils were still a normal pure white instead of the abnormal blood red. They were as pure and flawless as silver instead of the hideous scarlet like blood. She breathed a sigh of relief and said in a kind tone:

"This is your fruit... well, and Xuemu's too."

There is a hint of hesitation in the second half of the sentence.

Looking at the dark room with the curtains not opened, Fang Meifen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not step into the room. She just gave a tactful warning at the door.

"Xuehan, remember to open the curtains and let the sunlight in... Well, of course, if Xuemu doesn't like it, remember to remind her to turn on the lights. Don't turn off the lights and close the curtains to play on the computer. Be careful of your eyes."

"Thank you for your concern, Mom. I will."

Fang Xuehan responded with a smile and took the fruit plate from Fang Meifen with both hands.

After delivering the freshly cut fruit, Fang Meifen said she would come to clean up later and left briskly.

Fang Xuemu, who could not see Fang Meifen in the mirror, took everything in and quietly savored Fang Meifen's words, expressions, and movements.

Fang Xuemu looked back at the mirror. There were no traces of tears on her face. She just stared at the fruit bowl in Fang Xuehan's hand with an expressionless face.

"Mu, do you want to eat some? This is the fruit mom cut for us."

"…Eat it yourself."

Fang Xuehan seemed to realize something.

She was just about to open her mouth to explain for her mother, but Fang Xuemu in the mirror had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few drops of water on the mirror... and the next second, even the water droplets disappeared into thin air, as if they had never existed.

A person who owns the whole world will never be able to understand a lonely ghost who cannot even hold on to a ray of light.

Real Dreamland: Chapter 6 The choice is definitely better than the gift!

On the second day, Monday morning, Yu Xiude, who had slept from ten in the morning to seven in the morning, opened his eyes on time and turned off the alarm clock one second before it rang.

"..."

Still a little sleepy.

Yu Xiu De rubbed his eyes and yawned.

Sleeping is not about sleeping as long as possible.

If a normal adult sleeps for more than ten hours in a row with a normal schedule, he or she will feel dizzy and weak in the limbs when getting up, and even feel as tired as if the body has been squeezed out of a juicer that only exists in dreams in the middle of the night.

But Yu Xiu De was different. Even if he slept for more than twenty hours, his Nightmare fate could protect him from the double torture of his bladder and brain, making him as energetic as an ordinary person who enjoyed high-quality sleep.

As for the spring dream...

Yu Xiude might have had dreams about this in his previous life, but he'd almost forgotten them. But in this life, Yu Xiude knew it from the start. A mature thinker, he occasionally used dreams to reminisce about his past life, but the rest of his time was spent on self-improvement.

His dreams can both replicate everything in reality and transcend reality, which gives him more time to read and understand books - this is how he cultivated his "father" in this life.

At the same time, he will also deliberately explore and cultivate his imagination. After all, he knows very well that dreams are not real reality. Then he will use the knowledge he has learned and the fantasy of his ideas to further expand his dreams.

It really started from the womb.

The reason why Yu Xiude yawned was because he still wanted to dream.

One dream, one adventure, one game, one life

Sleeping is addictive, and dreaming is also addictive. If you can become stronger little by little while sleeping and dreaming, it will make people unable to stop.

……

……

Fortunately, the rational Yu Xiu De knew that even if his body could hold on, he couldn't really sleep 24 hours a day.

This time's "Dream Man" is a good example.

After washing up, Yu Xiu De changed into a white shirt and suit pants, picked up his briefcase, opened the door, and left the apartment.

In August, the sun shone brightly in Qianpeng City, and the sidewalks radiated steam, as if encasing people in a giant steamer. Yet, despite this, besides the hurried, lifeless office workers, the sidewalks were also filled with groups of young men and women, their faces brimming with youthful smiles, strolling leisurely and chatting.

Yu Xiu De was not surprised. After all, this kind of situation had been appearing one after another since around July.

Although this world has obvious differences from the world Yu Xiu De lived in in his previous life in terms of history, humanities, and laws and regulations, there are also some similarities.

For example, the federation where Yu Xiu De is located is a super giant formed by the fusion of the five most powerful countries in the world for some unknown reason. The areas under its rule implement twelve years of compulsory education, and there is a concept similar to winter and summer vacations in Yu Xiu De's previous life - yes, there is also the "college entrance examination."

It’s just that here it is not called the “Unified College Entrance Examination”, but the “Federal Unified Examination for Non-compulsory Colleges and Universities”.

It can also be referred to as the "college entrance examination".

Thinking of this, Yu Xiu De suddenly remembered that his adopted sister in this life seemed to have just finished the college entrance examination this year - and the name of the superhero "Twins" seemed to have gradually become familiar to everyone in July.

"Becoming a hero right after the exam...is that for extra points on the college entrance exam?"

Yu Xiu De muttered in his heart.

He remembered that federal education seemed to have been reformed again that year.

Fang Xuemu is different from Fang Xuehan and Yu Xiude. They are registered holders of [Fate], and people who previously had [Fate] can get extra points in this kind of exam.

In this world, people with [Fate] are truly superior people. In all aspects of daily life, and even in the law, the Federation will give certain preferential treatment to [Fate] holders... However, these preferential treatments are not fixed. Maintaining the treatment between ordinary people and [Fate] holders is also something that the federal government has always considered.

Therefore, this year the federal education system cancelled the policy of giving extra points to those who hold the [Fate], and changed it to a policy that only those who hold the [Fate] must have made contributions to society to be able to get extra points.

Maybe that's why those two younger sisters became superheroes... Fang Xuehan wanted to get into a better school, while Fang Xuemu coveted the unlimited law enforcement power of superheroes.

However, this has nothing to do with Yu Xiu De not registering his fate.

Although Yu Xiu De could easily get into a very good university on his own without any extra points, he still chose to go to work directly after completing compulsory education.

Yu Xiu De took the subway, crossed the street, and arrived at an office building. He pulled at his collar to get some fresh air, straightened his appearance, put away his sleepy look, and tried his best to look energetic.

He just can't retract his iconic dead fish eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Fish. You're here so early today too."

The girl at the front desk saw Yu Xiu De and greeted him warmly.

"morning."

Yu Xiu De responded politely, while extending his index finger and placing it on a machine at the front desk.

"Ding~ Check-in successful."
