Watching in the dark night

Chapter 18 Dreamland
  After hearing what the woman said, Yan Shuang quickly came to her senses. She shook her head and answered the woman opposite.

"No, I didn't want to commit suicide." The tone was a bit perfunctory. After all, he was in his dream, so the answer was casual.

After hearing what she said, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I can rest assured." After saying that, Yan Shuang walked over and sat next to her without waiting for Yan Shuang's invitation.

"You're playing in the water here in the middle of the night, are you worried?" She tilted her head, looked at Yan Shuang sitting next to her, and asked.

This was a question for Yan Shuang. How should she answer? Did you say you came here after just a short nap? Or is this in her dream and she can go wherever she wants?
  "I can't sleep, so I went out for a walk." She chose a relatively safe answer.

The woman nodded, "Me too, the weather is too hot and I always can't sleep at night."

"You live nearby too?" Yan Shuang asked.

Not many people go out for a walk here in the middle of the night. Maybe I happened to meet someone like Yan Shuang, so I am particularly enthusiastic. I want to find someone to talk to!

"Yeah." Yan Shuang nodded.

"My name is Ning Ling. Where are you, little sister?" the woman introduced herself.

"Severe frost."

"That sounds good." Ning Ling smiled brightly.

"Yours sounds good too." Yan Shuang insisted on coming and going.

This Ning Ling has been smiling ever since he saw her. She seems to like to laugh.

"Judging from your appearance, you should still be in junior high school, right?"

After the two introduced themselves to each other, they were silent for a while, and then Ning Ling started to ask again.

"It's a beautiful age." She whispered before Yan Shuang could answer.

Yan Shuang thought of the vague junior high school days in her memory. There was not a single thing that she could remember to this day. She must have had an average junior high school experience, right?
  But then she thought about the colorful notebooks in her drawer.

It seemed that it was not as ordinary as she thought.
  So he replied: "Thank you, you are also very beautiful at your current age."

Judging from Ning Ling's appearance and condition, she should be about the same age as herself in real life. She is very satisfied with herself in reality. Ning Ling must think so too, right?
  But she didn't wait for Ning Ling's answer.

Yan Shuang looked over and saw Ning Ling staring at the brightly lit tall buildings across the lake.

After a while, he replied: "Little sister, you are too young."

"I still don't understand that the adult world is actually not that beautiful."

After that, she raised her hand and touched Yan Shuang's little head, and said with a smile: "Run slower and see more of the scenery on the road."

What doesn't she understand? She belongs to the strongest group in society - the workers (also known as: social animals).

But every age has its troubles. Run slower and maybe see more of the scenery, but what is supposed to come will always come.

It’s better to face it calmly and make a good choice which is more important!
  She was about to persuade Ning Ling in turn. When I turned around, there was no one around me!
  In an instant, the hair all over her body stood up.

"I" Who on earth was she talking to here for so long?
  That woman Ning Ling. Did it disappear suddenly, or has it never appeared here before?

Fear welled up in her heart, and she woke up from her dream in an instant, "Whew!"

Yan Shuang sat up from the bed sweating profusely in this still cold season.

The first reaction is to look at your body. Fortunately, she was wearing thick pajamas and had a slender figure, not the short sweet potato in her dream.

But that dream is too real, right? She could even smell the unique fragrance of that woman.

It feels like the dampness of an old wooden board mixed with rose wine, giving it a slightly drunken sweet smell.

I felt a little dizzy when I first smelled it, and even felt a little dizzy after smelling it for a long time.

But what is that woman's name? She clearly remembered it just now, why did she forget everything as soon as she woke up?

She stood up and stood in front of the window, looking at the night sky dotted with a few stars. But I am thinking about whether I should go see a Chinese medicine doctor.

You're not even thirty yet, so why do you feel like you've started to suffer from insomnia and dreaminess recently? The most important thing is that the memory is not good!
  So, the day after she came back, Yan Shuang made an appointment with Lin Xiao to accompany her to see a Chinese medicine doctor.

"Why don't you call me when you go back to your hometown?" In just half an hour, this woman has repeated this sentence three times. "I was wrong. I just went back with my parents to get some things and left the next day." She had said this explanation three times.

"Hmph, we haven't gone back together since you came out to high school. For such a good opportunity, you actually... wuwu"

Lin Xiao was about to mention it for the fourth time, but when she opened her mouth, Yan Shuang's outstretched hand was held back.

"Invite me to hot pot. Anyway, you are sorry for me." Lin Xiao said to Yan Shuang, his expression still angry.

"Okay, okay," Yan Shuang, who was following her, replied helplessly.

"That's right!" She remembered that dream.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiao asked her.

"When we were young, did we ever know a woman in her twenties with such long hair and, let's say, height?" Yan Shuang was afraid that her description would not be clear, so she made gestures with her hands and feet.

After hearing her description, Lin Xiao stared at her for a long time at first. When she turned her eyes, he quickly looked away, and then repeated her words vaguely.

"Woman? Hair long?"

"Yes, she is wearing a white dress." She was afraid that Lin Xiao could not remember clearly, so she also told the color of the clothes the woman was wearing.

"Why do you ask?" Lin Xiao looked at her and asked.

"I just dreamed about her once, and the dream was quite clear. I think my memory is not good, so I asked you to help me recall if she is someone we know." Yan Shuang answered her.

"I don't know you!" As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiao replied firmly.

"Are you sure?" But why did she always feel that that woman gave her a familiar aura.

"Of course. We hung out every day at that time. Can I know who you know?" Lin Xiao pulled her hair to wake her up.

"Same." Could it be that she met him in this city?
  Wait, she realized. Isn't the word "mixed" that Lin Xiao used to describe their childhood inaccurate?
  Lin Xiao didn't react until he saw her. Lin Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to her long reflex arc, and dragged Yan Shuang straight towards the hot pot restaurant.

After the two finished eating the hot pot, they immediately ran to the Chinese medicine clinic.

"Doctor, how is she?"

I saw an old Chinese doctor with gray hair and wearing a pair of fashionable black-rimmed glasses. After checking Yan Shuang's pulse, he squinted his eyes and said nothing for a long time. The impatient Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah," the old Chinese medicine doctor agreed, and said slowly: "There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that your anger is a little strong. Do you often stay up late recently?"

"Also," the old Chinese medicine doctor continued: "Don't use your brain too much. You have to hit it before."

"Hey, doctor, doctor, please check for me, how am I doing?
  Yan Shuang was still listening to the old Chinese doctor analyzing her condition, so Lin Xiao quickly pushed her away and asked the old Chinese doctor to take a look at her.

"The doctor hasn't finished speaking yet." Yan Shuang protested and pushed Lin Xiao with her hand.

"Oh, the doctor has told you to go to bed early in the future. Isn't this diagnosed?" Lin Xiao pretended to be impatient and pushed her aside.

Then he offered his arm to the old Chinese doctor with a playful smile. The old Chinese medicine doctor also shook his head at Lin Xiao with a look of disapproval and took her arm.

Yan Shuang looked at Lin Xiao's back and rolled her eyes. Has this woman forgotten what symptoms she came to see the Chinese doctor for?

After walking out of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Yan Shuang was still angry. Lin Xiao bumped her gently from behind, said "Here" and handed her a large bag of medicine.

"The doctor said to take it three times a day, warmly before meals. Don't forget it!" Lin Xiao instructed.

"What is this?" Looking at the large bag of medicine in her hand, Yan Shuang asked Lin Xiao with her eyes.

"This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor for your condition. Don't worry, the old Chinese medicine doctor knows everything about your pulse. You can't understand it anyway, so I will let the doctor directly help prescribe the medicine!" Lin Xiao explained to her! He looked like I was very considerate.

Yan Shuang has already taken it. Is she sure she can take the medicine? Not even five minutes after the old Chinese medicine doctor put his hand on his arm, he was intercepted by this guy, right?

"Believe me! This is a famous doctor. I grabbed the number just for you." She hooked Yan Shuang's chin with a greasy look on her face.

Believe you, that would be harming myself! Although Yan Shuang cursed in her heart, she still took the medicine obediently.

The anger in my heart just now was quelled by Lin Xiao's flattering smile. People have brought her medicine, so why should she be angry?
