My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any Comforting

Chapter 119



Chapter 119: Ten Years Later 2

The maid outside was fast approaching and Xiao Qiao Shao couldn’t attend to anything else. He pulled He Shen down to hide in the bushes.

The two stayed close together and shrank into a small huddle, hearing only each other’s breaths.

He Shen stared at him without blinking. Xiao Qiao Shao ‘shhh-ed’ again. He Shen nodded, and Xiao Qiao Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

The maid looked for quite some time. When she didn’t find anyone, she walked farther away, only then did the two children get up from the bushes.

Because it was Qiao Shao’s dream, the lily in He Shen’s hands was particularly clear. It was so bright, its colors didn’t seem to match the surroundings.

Xiao Qiao Shao said, “Why are you holding that flower?”

He Shen glanced at the distant side door. “I’m going to give it to my mother.”

Xiao Qiao Shao said immediately, “Go on. In a moment, the flower won’t be beautiful anymore.”

“En.” He Shen sighed softly, trying to open the door.

“Oh, right.” He Shen hadn’t left yet when Qiao Shao called out to him once again in a small voice.

He Shen looked back at him. “What is it?”

Xiao Qiao Shao’s eyes were round like two black grapes framed with long lashes. He blinked and said seriously, “I am not a girl.”

He Shen was dazed and didn’t react.

Xiao Qiao Shao cleared his throat and said seriously, “I can’t marry you when I grow up.”

He Shen was amused by him. He smiled, his heart radiating with the sweet fragrance of lilies. “We can.”

Xiao Qiao Shao was puzzled. “Mom said, a boy and a girl will fall in love and...”

Without waiting for him to finished, He Shen told him. “He Shen and Qiao Shao can get married.”

Xiao Qiao Shao looked at him for a while. With cheeks slightly red, he said, “Go and give your flower!”

He Shen didn’t want to let go of his hand. “Will you go with me?”

Xiao Qiao Shao was dazed. “But I won’t recognize your mother.”

He Shen said, “It’s fine, she’ll definitely like you a lot.”

Xiao Qiao Shao immediately upped his spirit. “Okay, I’ll go with you!”

He Shen knew that this wasn’t reality, that this was the regret in Qiao Shao’s heart and the dream he wanted him to see.

But even if this weren’t reality, what he experienced this moment was pure sincerity. The warmth he felt was also real and this child whose hand he was holding belonged to him.

He Shen looked at the side door. His heart was very calm, without the tension and anxiety of his childhood, nor the remorse and self-blame when he grew up. He opened the door calmly, like pushing open his own past.

Xiao Qiao Shao was a little nervous. “Is your mother not here?”

He Shen had an absentminded realization as he saw the scene before him.

This was Qiao Shao’s dream. Qiao Shao has never seen He Rui, how could he dream of her?

He Rui was definitely not here. Qiao Shao may have just intended for them to come out of the bushes and let him walk through the door. As for what was behind the door, there was no way Qiao Shao could know.

He Shen paused and said, “She may have gone out.”

Xiao Qiao Shao’s brows furrowed. “What should we do?”

He Shen didn’t feel any regret only that he didn’t know what would happen next in this dream.

“Don’t worry,” Xiao Qiao Shao thought He Shen was sad, and anxiously said, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, I will help you find a way.”

How could He Shen cry? But in Qiao Shao’s dream, Xiao He Shen was extremely fragile at this moment.

He Shen simply pretended and turned to him. “What do we do? The flower’s going to wilt soon...”

Xiao Qiao Shao’s heart tightened. He held his hand tight and said, “I have a way!”

He Shen wanted to know what he was thinking. “Huh?”

Xiao Qiao Shao pulled him outside and said, “My mom’s over there.”

He Shen didn’t understand... Xiao Qiao Shao walked ahead, his white earlobe caressed by the sun, it’s white and limpid appearance like a piece of milk pudding. His voice was also sweet and soft. “We’ll give this flower to my mother!”

He Shen was stunned.

Xiao Qiao Shao looked back, with a big smile on his tender face. “Moms all over the world are equally good, and my mom will be very good to you!”

This statement gave He Shen quite the shock. At this moment, he realized the true meaning of this dream.

Qiao Shao couldn’t bring He Rui to him, but he could bring his mother to him.

The gentle and beautiful mother who gave immeasurable happiness to the Qiao Family.

Qiao Shao wanted to introduce his mom to him.

He Shen’s heart was both sweet and sour, and he really can’t control his emotions.

Xiao Qiao Shao asked him, “Is that okay? When your mother returns, we will pick more flowers for her.”

He Shen said warmly, “Okay.”

He held Qiao Shao’s hand tightly and walked on the garden path that was both familiar and strange.

Soon he saw the white little pavilion and the smiling young woman in it.

He Shen had seen her in photos, but in Qiao Shao’s dream, this was obviously the most beautiful woman in the world. She had a pair of beautiful eyes that took in multitudes. She had the gentlest and most peaceful smile, filled to overflowing with sincere love.

Xiao Qiao Shao was out of breath from running and said to Yang Yun. “Mom, this is He Shen!”

Yang Yun smiled, as if returning from heaven to the human world, giving them her most heartfelt blessing. “Hello, Xiao He Shen.”

He Shen’s eyes were hot, and he almost forgot himself in his lover’s dream. “Hello...”

This was a dream, a dream that made people unwilling to wake up.

When Qiao Shao opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed. It was the dream of a butterfly, where Zhuang Zhou didn’t know if he had dreamt he was a butterfly or if he was a butterfly that had dreamt he was Zhuang Zhou.

Someone was holding his hand and he turned to see He Shen. He Shen’s voice was hoarse. “Thank you.”

Qiao Shao’s eyes were also hot. “Isn’t mom beautiful?”

He didn’t use ‘my mom’, but ‘mom’, because she was both their mom.

He Shen’s eyes are also somewhat wet. “Very beautiful.”

Qiao Shao said lightly, “She would have loved you very much.”

If she were there, she would have loved them very much.

He Shen responded softly. “En.”

Both were silent for a while. Qiao Shao took off the machine from his head and said, “This thing is very good.”

He Shen returned to his senses. “En, it’s not bad.”

Qiao Shao looked at the sky outside and said, “It looks like it’s still early. Let’s go back to sleep?”

He Shen took him into his arms and said, “Let’s sleep.”

Qiao Shao clung to him and looked at him closely. “He Shen Shen Tongxue.”

He Shen turned over: “Since you don’t want to sleep, then we won’t sleep.”

Qiao Shao opened his eyes wide. “Who, who doesn’t want to sleep... Hey...”

Two or three o’clock in the morning, the moonlight painted an enchanting light as it half-filled the room.

As the saying goes, an eye for an eye. He Shen saw Qiao Shao’s dream, Qiao Shao also wanted to see He Shen’s.

He Shen warned him. “My dream might be terrible.”

Qiao Shao was fully prepared and said, “I’m not afraid!” Even if he saw that room and that woman, he wasn’t afraid anymore.

He Shen stressed to him. “It might be more terrible than last night.”

Qiao Shao froze for a moment, and then he reacted. “You...”

He Shen only smiled.

Qiao Shao was speechless. “You won’t really... really...”

He Shen said, “Unsatisfied lust will inevitably lead to evil thoughts.”

Qiao Shao gave up. “Last night...! Wasn’t last night already enough!”

He Shen couldn’t help but bite on his neck. “Not by a long shot.”

Qiao Shao: “...............” Was this person still human!

“Come on,” He Shen took the initiative to put on the dream-sharing machine and urged him, “Come into my dream.”

Qiao Shao held the helmet and looked at him suspiciously. “You won’t really...”

He Shen winked. “What are you afraid of? In a dream, you won’t feel any pain.”

Qiao Shao: “..............................”

It was the same machine, how come the application of it was so vastly different between two people!

Qiao Shao took back what he said earlier. He felt that this machine was no good, no good at all!

Although he thought so, he still put on the helmet—if He Shen dares to have a messy dream, he...
