Chapter 36 Are You Old?

Liu Ruxi blinked her eyes and replied: "Okay."

Lin Xue looked at Liu Ruxi standing next to the bedside table, and thought: I don’t know what time it is now, so should Liu Ruxi standing on the floor with her?

She said to Liu Ruxi: "Liu Ruxi, I will give you half of the bed, but you must be careful when you sleep and don't be pushed by me."

Liu Ruxi: "Yes."

Lin Xue slowly lowered her calves and stepped on the slippers. She put on the slippers, squatted down, picked up Liu Ruxi, and placed it on the right side of the bed. She lay her body flat and turned her head to look at Liu Ruxi. He lay in the small area near the edge of the bed. His two big and bright eyes looked particularly attractive under the white light. He looked at Lin Xue and said, "Lin Xue, if you feel scared, you can say it out. After you tell me, you may not feel that uncomfortable."

Lin Xue lay on the pillow and looked at him sideways. After she organized the language, she swallowed her saliva and said to Liu Ruxi: "I just had a dream. In the dream, the woman was sitting on the bed and crying. The room was small and messy, and it was a bit old. A man kicked the door and asked the woman why she cheated on him. When the woman quarreled with the man, the man strangled the woman to death. Then, he slapped the woman..." Lin Xue couldn't continue to say anything. She felt that it was really cruel for the man to kill his wife by such means. She could not accept that a husband killed his wife like this and sealed his wife's body in the wall.

Liu Ruxi comforted her with her eyes and said to her: "It doesn't matter if you can't continue to say it now, but I'm more worried about you. I think this dream will leave a certain shadow on you. I'm afraid you won't forget this dream. If you don't ask someone to tell me in time, it will take root and sprout in your heart like a seed. I'm afraid this will not be good for you."

Lin Xue bit her lower lip and came over for a while. She spoke to Liu Ruxi again: "During their quarrel, I heard the man say that he often goes to work in the construction site. I think he should be a worker. He sealed his wife's body in the wall. After lying on the bed for a long time, he touched the dry concrete and painted the walls of the whole room again. Then he lay on the floor and cried. He couldn't see his wife and stayed by him. Later I woke up. When I woke up, I felt very scared. I couldn't tell what I was afraid of. I felt very complicated. In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I called you in to accompany me."

Liu Ruxi looked at her: "Do you think it's better to speak out?"

Lin Xue felt a lot more relaxed, and she whispered to him: "It's much better."

Liu Ruxi: "It's very late now, you go to bed quickly. When you get up tomorrow morning, I'm afraid you will have a headache."

Lin Xue pulled the towel to cover her belly, and then covered Liu Ruxi's body with a corner, revealing only his cute head and tail. She said, "Well, let's sleep."

Liu Ruxi: "Didn't you just say you're very scared? Now we'll go to bed with the lights, and I'll wait until you fall asleep."

Lin Xue bent her lips and chuckled softly: "Yes." She closed her eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Liu Ruxi, who was lying on the side, was as he said. When Lin Xue was asleep, he surrounded his body with his tail, like a white ball. He looked at Lin Xue's sleeping face and closed his eyes.

Ten days passed quickly like flowing water. Since having that dream that night, Lin Xue would dream of the same content every night during these days, and it was not bad at all.

This dream is like a CD, infinite loop. Every night when Lin Xue closes her eyes and falls asleep, it will automatically play. After the playback, Lin Xue will be awakened at 4 a.m. After Lin Xue was awakened by the same dream for the second time, Liu Ruxi began to sleep with Lin Xue every night. Because he had to sleep in the moonlight at night, Lin Xue and him moved the bed under the window of the room. Every night, Liu Ruxi slept near the window, and Lin Xue slept next to him.

Lin Xue turned the calendar to this page in August. During these ten days, she would be awakened every night. She didn't know what this dream was about to hint to her. Could it be that the female ghost asked her to report the case? But she didn't know where the incident happened. Even if she learned the location in her dream and reported the case, the police would only think that she was a lunatic and reported the case based on just one dream. Even if the police really found the body of a woman sealed in the wall in that house, they would only treat her as a suspect. She didn't want to do a good job and made herself dirty.

It was already 6:45 pm now. Lin Xue looked at the clock. She wanted time to pass a little slower. She didn't want to have that dream again after falling asleep at night.

After washing the dishes, Liu Ruxi turned around and saw the girl sitting at the dining table. Because her sleep quality was poor these days, she had dark circles. She had to study her homework at home and went to Tianxin Art Studio to learn painting in the afternoon. She finally could sleep at night, but she was entangled by this dream. Liu Ruxi was very worried about her. He was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it if she continued like this.

Lin Xue pushed the desk calendar aside, and she looked up at Liu Ruxi and asked, "Liu Ruxi, isn't there any talisman paper in my house? Then how did this dream come into my mind? Why do I dream every night? I feel very tired."

Liu Ruxi came to the dining chair opposite her and sat down, with a feeling of distress in her eyes: "I think there are three possibilities. The first possibility is that after you left this house, the female ghost used some means on you without us noticed it, so that you would have the same dream every night. The second possibility is that the female ghost did not use any means on you at all, but your soul left your body after you fell asleep. On the night when the woman was killed by her husband, your soul appeared in their room and watched all this from beginning to end, but I think it is unlikely. I heard you describe that the man sealed the wall with concrete, and he lay on the bed for a long time. When he touched the concrete, the concrete was already dry, and he painted the walls of the room.

Once again, I think it will take him a long time to move the furniture away and paint it. You sleep for 7 hours every day. I think that man can't do all this within 7 hours. Also, if you float in their room with your soul body and watch it, then the female ghost will definitely discover your existence. Even if the female ghost was extremely sad at the time, she would definitely repel her after she noticed that there was another soul in her house. She would definitely communicate with you. However, according to your description, I found that there was no eye contact between you. The third possibility is that your soul did not go to their room to watch it all, and the female ghost did not ask you to dream. It is very likely that someone forced this image into your dream with some magic."

Lin Xue nodded and shook her head again. She said to Liu Ruxi: "No matter what possibility it is, I don't want to have this dream again. Every night I will wake up at 4 a.m., and every night I have to witness how that man killed his wife and sealed the body in the wall. I feel like I can't bear it anymore. I asked you before, and I wake me up when I hear my breathing is wrong, but it's useless. Every time I wake up after I finish this dream from beginning to end."

Liu Ruxi pushed a glass of warm water in front of Lin Xue and signaled her to drink it. He said, "I know you don't want to have this dream any more, but now we can't find a way to solve this problem. What you have to do now is to face the dreams you will have every night with a normal mind. I believe that this dream will leave you one day, and you don't need to be afraid, because I will be by your side every night."

Lin Xue frowned and drank a sip of water. Liu Ruxi's right hand was folded on the back of her left hand. Lin Xue's eyebrows stretched out. She said to Liu Ruxi: "Liu Ruxi, thank you."

Liu Ruxi's eyes were soft, and he said to Lin Xue: "No need to thank you."

The two of them sat down on the sofa together. Lin Xue felt that her brain nerves were being pulled tight these days. She either read books and studied or practiced painting. She didn't watch TV for a long time. Instead, Liu Ruxi would watch TV every day. After washing dishes and wiping the table, she would always watch TV series for a while before taking a shower.

Lin Xue decided to relax. She turned on the TV with the remote control. A cookie advertisement was playing in the TV. A cute little boy was sitting on a chair eating a bottle of chocolate-flavored Xile's finger biscuits. His mother came over and took out another 5 other flavors of Xile's cookie tubes from the plastic bag and handed them to him. The little boy happily hugged his mother. At the end of the advertisement, six cookie tubes of different colors appeared. A sweet female voice came from the TV: "Xile's cookies, children's favorite!"

The advertisement ended and the news time was up. Liu Ruxi lowered her head and asked Lin Xue: "Will we go to buy Xile biscuits next time we go to the supermarket?"

Lin Xue looked up at him: "Why do you like eating Xile biscuits like the little boy in the advertisement?"

Liu Ruxi narrowed her eyes: "I want to buy it for you, and I will buy all 6 flavors back then."

Lin Xue: "I'm not a child~"

Liu Ruxi smiled: "But you are younger than me."

Lin Xue thought: It’s amazing that you are older than me? Since you want to sell your old age in front of me so much, I will let you enjoy it enough!

Lin Xue cleared her throat: "Uncle Liu, I want to eat Xilele biscuits with chocolate and matcha flavor. Let's buy them together next time?"

Liu Ruxi was stunned, his body stiffened. After a while, he looked down at her face and asked, "Am I that old?"
