Chapter 26: Reality is False, Dreams are Empty!

  Dazed and confused, I don't know how long I've been unconscious. All I feel is that there are people moving around me from time to time. The sound of footsteps 'da da da' is sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, sometimes far away and sometimes near.

  I opened my eyes dazedly and lifted my head to look around.

  But when I looked around and saw the environment clearly, I was stunned for a moment, with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief.

  How did I end up here?

  At this moment, I am sitting in the classroom, surrounded by classmates chatting and laughing about something. From time to time, someone passes by me, but I just sit there blankly, with a look of astonishment on my face.

  "Hey, summer vacation is here, what are your plans?" My best friend Chen Gang punched me and asked with a smile: "Want to go do some part-time jobs with me? My relative opened a mobile phone store, let's go sell phones!"

  I looked at Chen Gang in a daze, still a bit out of it.

  What's going on? Before I fainted, I was clearly in a precarious situation, having just escaped from the stone cave. How did I end up here when I woke up?

  And yet, this scene before me now, why does it make me feel an overwhelming sense of familiarity?

  It's as if I've been through it before?

  Could it be that I've been poisoned too deeply and am having hallucinations?

  Thinking of this, I lifted my head and pinched my thigh hard.

  I took a sharp breath in, while Chen Gang looked at me strangely and said: "Yi Fan, are you stupid?"

  He waved his hand in front of me and then, with his bag on his back, pulled me up together, saying: "Let's go, I'll take you out for a drink!"

  Having said that, he pulled me out of the classroom and walked towards the outside of the school.

  I was pulled by Chen Gang all the way, walking forward in a daze. Along the way, I met many familiar people who would greet me and Chen Gang. Chen Gang smiled and waved at everyone, while I stood there like an idiot, completely indifferent to everything around me.

  I fell into deep shock and confusion.

  Who can come and tell me what's going on?

  Chen Gang and I walked all the way to the entrance of the university, but at this time, Chen Gang suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around and pulled me, saying: "Yi Fan, let's take another road!"

  "Why?" I asked subconsciously and immediately turned my head towards the school gate.

  But when I saw the scene at the school gate, I was suddenly stunned, as if struck by lightning.

  I saw Wang Lu, my girlfriend, Wang Lu.

  At this moment, she is hugging a tall and handsome boy, they don't even care about other people's eyes, and they kissed at the entrance of the university.

  And beside them, countless passersby stopped in their tracks and cheered for them!

  My body started trembling, and at the bottom of my heart, a storm was brewing!

  My girlfriend is now in someone else's arms, kissing someone else, and I'm just standing there like a spectator, my face first showing pain, then anger.

  Wang Lu, who is usually fierce to me, is now leaning on the boy's chest like a little bird, and the two of them are together with tender affection, chatting and laughing for a long time. The boy reluctantly patted Wang Lu's butt and then took out the car key, opening the door of the red BMW next to him.

  At that moment, I understood everything!

  I couldn't help but feel a bitter smile in my heart, and the expression on my face changed from anger to despair.

  I'm a kid from the mountains, poor and with limited prospects. But look at them, young and already driving luxury cars, their family background must be impressive. Even if I were an idiot, I think I should know how to make a choice!

  Besides, Wang Lu is a beautiful face, hot figure, and has a bit of cleverness.

  I took a deep breath and then turned around and said to Chen Gang: "Let's go!"

  Ke Can pulled me back and said: "What are you running for? Since you've seen her, let's just wait here and ask her clearly in a moment!"

  "Don't ask, let's go!" At this moment, I just wanted to find a quiet corner and stay there alone for a while, but Chen Gang suddenly threw off my hand and strode towards Wang Lu.

  At this moment, Wang Lu was beaming with joy, walking into the school with a smile on her face and her head down. Chen Gang suddenly blocked her way and asked loudly, "Wang Lu, what's going on? Explain yourself in front of Yi Fan today!"

  Wang Lu hadn't seen me and Chen Gang at all before, she was stunned when she heard the words, and her expression became unnatural as soon as she saw me.

  The next moment, her face changed, and she put on a proud expression, with her hands clasped to her chest, her firm breasts standing tall. With an air of superiority, she said: "Originally, I didn't plan to tell Zhang Yifan so soon, but since you've already seen it, I don't have anything to hide anymore. You also saw it, I'm with someone else now!" Wang Lu pushed Chen Gang and continued walking forward, but Chen Gang grabbed her back, saying: "You damn well better explain yourself! You're Yifan's girlfriend, and you say you're with someone else? Do you still have a conscience? Yifan saves money every month by eating plain rice and instant noodles, using the saved money to buy clothes and makeup for you. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

  Facing Chen Gang's loud questioning, Wang Lu's face changed slightly, but she still said with a high tone: "That's what he wants, he's cheap, a kid from the mountains, a poor fool, and he dares to think of eating swan meat? He should take a good look at himself, see his own behavior, with that expression on his face, it's like someone owes him money. It's really disgusting!" Wang Lu spat out a string of dirty words, then turned around and walked away.

  Look at yourself in the mirror, your behavior is disgusting!

  Innumerable dirty words swirled in my mind, I bit my lip tightly and slowly crouched down to the ground, covering my face with one hand.

  Yes, I'm a poor bastard, I'm a toad, and the most ridiculous thing is that I still dare to dream of eating swan meat!

  I forced a smile, but tears flowed out through my fingers.

  Wang Lu, my first love, just like that, with an arrogant attitude, openly split her legs in front of me.

  This was a huge blow to me, and all the beautiful fantasies I had before seemed to have vanished in an instant.

  "Yi Fan, are you okay?" Chen Gang patted his hand and whispered words of comfort in my ear, but those words seemed to be getting farther and farther away from me. I looked up at Chen Gang and saw that his mouth was opening and closing as if he was saying something to me, but his body was twisting rapidly, and then everything around me began to twist too.

  The next moment, I only felt the sky spinning and the whole world rotating, and when this dizzy feeling disappeared, I was shocked to find that the scene in front of me had changed again.

  The sky is dark and gloomy, with the occasional sound of crickets coming from the depths of the mountain. In our courtyard, a funeral pavilion has been set up, and inside it, a coffin is placed. The long-lasting lamp in front of the coffin flickers and jumps in the night wind.

  The air is filled with a pungent smell of burnt paper money.

  Here is my home, and in the coffin placed inside that spiritual hall, lies my mother!

  I walked slowly to the front of the coffin, and with a 'thud', I knelt down on the ground. Tears, like a burst dam, surged out uncontrollably.

  "Mother!" I choked out, then heavily kowtowed three times on the ground.

  I held the paper money, tears streaming down my face as I burned it. The courtyard was empty and silent, except for the crackling sound of the burning paper money echoing through the yard.

  At this time, there was a sudden 'ding ding ding' sound coming from inside the coffin. The sound seemed like someone was knocking on the coffin.

  I was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the coffin.

  The coffin will not be covered tightly before it is buried, and a seam will be left. At this time, I looked along the seam, but nothing could be seen.

  At this moment, a pair of eerie eyes were tightly stuck to the gap, and those eyes were full of resentful and poisonous expressions, staring at me to death, as if they couldn't wait to swallow me alive!

  "Ah!" I let out a sharp cry, and fell to the ground with a thud. At this moment, everything in front of me distorted again, and then the scene changed, and I found myself standing on an ancient battlefield.

  "Kill him!"

  The sound of killing shook the sky, thunder rumbled, countless people wearing ancient armor rushed together, hacking and killing each other, amidst flying blood and flesh, countless soldiers fell to the ground.

  And I stood there in a daze, in the midst of the crowd, looking at everything before me with a wooden expression on my face.
