1182 A Strange Dream
Just as Gu Zheng was feeling confused, his body was instantly pulled out of his dream. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his vision was blurry. He could not see a trace of light. It was still late at night, but Qiao Xi was still sleeping soundly beside him.
His back was already covered in sweat. He opened his eyes and quietly pondered. Was that just a dream? However, the dream was too real and very in line with his and Qiao Xiâs personalities. Moreover, after waking up, he still remembered every detail of the dream.
This dream was very strange. He clearly had no memory of it. He had always been alone. Song Shiyu and Song Shijing did not know his connections in Stars. If he had already known Black Tide from long ago, then why did he lose those memories?
They had known each other for 10 years, but they had always thought that they had never met before. Moreover, it was not just him. Qiao Xi thought so too.
Gu Zheng gently turned over and caressed Qiao Xiâs smooth cheek. She seemed to be dreaming of something as well. Her body curled up uneasily with a frown.
In Qiao Xiâs dream, she saw Gu Zhengâs appearance when he was in his teens. She stood beside him like a soul and watched him go from a gloomy young man to the famous president of Gu Corporation.
She had clearly never seen Gu Zheng before, but why did Gu Zhengâs teenage appearance appear in her mind?
Qiao Xi suddenly opened her eyes and took a few deep breaths before calming down. She lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Zheng. It was already so late, but he was actually not up yet. Usually, Gu Zheng would have already gotten up and gone to the study to deal with documents.
She reached out and turned off the alarm. It was already late anyway, so it didnât matter if he slept a little longer. Gu Zheng was very busy every day, so he should take some time to relax.
Qiao Xi got out of bed, still very puzzled. Why would she dream of the teenage Gu Zheng? Could it be that it was just a random dream she had? It was also possible that it was because she had heard Old Master Luâs words yesterday that she naturally dreamed of the teenage Gu Zheng.
She did not want to think about this dream anymore, but she suddenly remembered something. In the dream, a wind chime made of shells appeared in Gu Zhengâs hand. He had personally made it, but she clearly remembered that she had an identical wind chime.
She had been afraid of water since she was young and didnât like anything related to water. Later on, her senior enlightened her and helped her get rid of her fear of water. Only then could she swim in the water, but she still didnât like the shell wind chime.
Even so, she had no intention of throwing away the wind chime. She did not understand why she kept it by her side if she did not like it.
Where did it go?
Qiao Xi suddenly felt a headache as if she had lost a part of her memory. She couldnât even remember where the shell wind chime came from. In her impression, it was just a simple shell wind chime and wasnât an expensive gift. It didnât matter if she threw it away, so she didnât care about that shell wind chime at all. If she hadnât had this dream, she wouldnât have remembered that she had a shell wind chime at all.
Qiao Xiâs mind was filled with doubts. She leaned against the window and thought for a moment. She remembered that the last time she saw the shell wind chime, it was probably during the time it was taken away by Qiao Zhenguo and Xu Mei. At the same time, some of her motherâs belongings had been taken away as well and placed in a storage box. She felt that Xu Mei wouldnât have thrown these things away. After all, these things could be used to threaten her into being obedient.
That meant the wind chime was still in the Qiao familyâs villa!
Qiao Xi decided to find that wind chime. Why did the wind chime that she had forgotten for so many years suddenly appear in her dream? She had to know the reason. Was this just a coincidence or was there another omen?
Qiao Xi was about to get up and leave when she was suddenly grabbed by a warm hand.
Gu Zhengâs hair was a little messy, and his eyes were sleepy. He was lying on his side, revealing his muscular chest. This should have been a beautiful scene, but there was unease in his eyes. âWhere are you going?â
Qiao Xi was stunned. âI have something to do at the Qiao familyâs villa.â
Gu Zhengâs deep eyes were calm. He still did not let go of her wrist and continued to ask, âWhat is it?â
âUh⦠Iâm looking for aâ¦â Qiao Xi did not know how to explain and replied truthfully, âIâm looking for a shell wind chime. Last night, I suddenly dreamed of it. I remember that itâs in the Qiao familyâs villa. I want it back.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Zhengâs strange emotions confused Qiao Xi. He let go of his grip on her and got up from the bed. âIâm taking a rest today. Iâll go with you.â
Qiao Xi was a little surprised. âDonât you work at home on weekends?â
Gu Zheng leaned on her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. He whispered in her ear, âThereâs nothing urgent going on in the company. Youâre my priority.â
