74: Chapter 44 Freedom_3

74 -44 Freedom_3

He remembered he hadn’t yet asked the reason she was involved in this matter.

Without asking, he knew it was Yan Qi who brought her here, but when had she gotten to know that man?

And he didn’t even know how Shiyu Lianyi had come to know Yan Qi.

These were all personal privacies that weren’t easy to ask about.

The moment such a thought flashed through his mind, the advice of his older brother rang in his head.

— “What’s this about personal matters…

Don’t you understand what friendship is, Ah Ce?

It’s about a bond formed through shared life-and-death experiences!”

Should he change his approach?

But then, he couldn’t maintain his one-sided stance…

because knowing more about others also meant revealing more about himself.

From this perspective, what should he say?

Gongsun Ce cleared his throat, “Ahem.

The nightmare that I used to have, it’s not actually like the one I told you about this afternoon.”

“Oh.”

After the opening remark, finding the next sentence to say was very difficult.

Talking about one’s own matters always came with an inexplicable sense of shame.

“The true content of that nightmare…

do you want to hear it?”

“To be honest, I’m not very interested.”

The gray-haired youth wordlessly covered his face.

This was it, the thing he feared the most!

The things that one sees as important, to others, might just be trifling—and after preparing oneself mentally to talk about it, to find the person across showing an expression of “oh, is that it…” brought a sense of defeat that was ten times worse than losing a battle!

Not only the atmosphere dies, but also the subtle self-esteem of the person involved; really, in such cases, it might be better to tell a lie that no one would believe, just to keep the mood light!!

He needed to say something, anything, to lighten the mood…

It was then that he heard the girl say.

“If it’s a nightmare, then it must contain elements that made you unhappy.

If it causes Ah Ce discomfort to reminisce, then it’s better not to talk about it.”

He watched his friend jump off the flower bed, turn around, and walk beside him, shoulder to shoulder.

Incredibly, his mood calmed down.

“It’s not that bad…”

He began to recount his dream.

When he brought up the past, a grey haze of illusion appeared in his eyes.

A silent, gray-white mist emerged, swirling at his side as if trying to drag him back to the past.

But the events of that day were over.

Today, he finally put an end to the tragedy that happened three years ago.

At this moment, the fear in his heart seemed to fade away along with the real-world resolution.

Stepping through the mist, he continued to move forward in reality.

The grey-white fog was still there at first, but as he delved deeper into his narrative, it gradually thinned and finally vanished completely from his sight without a trace.

“…That’s when I woke up.”

He had finished recounting his dream.

Headless and tailless, it was just a fragment of that event.

The Knight charged towards the Evil Dragon, and what happened after wasn’t in the dream.

What would he think if he were the one listening?

Incomprehensible, inexplicably bizarre, where were the cause and the consequences, what happened next…

Gongsun Ce couldn’t help but smile wryly; anyone would think that way, wouldn’t they?

With this in mind, no matter what the other person asked, he should explain properly.

Even the matter about the sword, he prepared himself to talk about it in his mind.

The Superpower User looked at his friend.

Qin Qianbai looked into his eyes and asked, “That Knight lady, is she Ah Ce’s girlfriend?”

“What are you thinking about—?!”

Gongsun Ce was at a loss.

Why would the first thought after hearing this be to ask that question?!

It’s not about ruining the mood anymore—your train of thought really seems to have deviated to some degree, Miss!

The gray-haired youth sighed heavily, covering his face, “How could I possibly deserve such attention, she has a boyfriend!

Her boyfriend is a great guy, and the way they shine when they’re together nearly blinds me.

I’m just waiting for them to announce their wedding so I can rush to officiate.”

“It sounds like the lament of a defeated third wheel in a love triangle.”

He reached out and knocked on his friend’s head.

“Using an example you would understand, my relationship with those two is the same as my current relationship with Kardesia and Mr.

Shiyu.”

Miss Qin, holding her head, said, “I completely understand.”

He kind of believed that girls tend to be more love-brained.

Qin Qianbai continued to walk with him, just like they had on their way home that afternoon.

Neither took a detour, because they lived in the same apartment building—she resided in 7-6, right next door to the Superpower User.

There wasn’t any special reason they often acted together, they just lived close by.

The night was deep now, the last bus had gone, and at this hour, the pigeon station was probably closed too…

They might have to walk all the way back.

But then again, they were both so tired today…

The Superpower User, using his Telekinesis, caused both of their bodies to float into the air.

They rose above the roadside trees, over the towering buildings, until they reached the unobstructed night sky.

Qin Qianbai pressed down her skirt, tilted her head to look at him, “Does Ah Ce have enough strength?”

“To be honest, no, I feel like I’m going to fall in less than a minute.

We’ll fly for as long as we can.”

A minute might have been generous.

45 seconds, no, perhaps in another 30 seconds they would fall.

Still, it was faster than walking.

They knew that any moment now, they would descend.

Even so, they still wished to fly in the starless night.

Feeling the wind blow past them, gazing at the sky which seemed closer than from the ground.

Before the inescapable bonds took hold…

To enjoy the fleeting freedom that would soon leave.
