Chapter 768: Chapter 768: You’re Just Dreaming
But she hadn’t expected that there were so many children who lived each day just to fight for a few stead buns.
Those who failed to get any could only be starved to death…
For the rest of the ti, Xiaocong remained dazed, lost in a hazy nightmare, unable to accept this cruel reality.
It wasn’t until late at night that he finally could not resist sleepiness, sitting on the straw, leaning against the wall, and falling into a deep slumber.
He didn’t know how long he had slept when soone suddenly shook him awake.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw two boys pressing down on his body, while Zhang Xu was on top of him, fiercely choking his neck.
“What are you doing?” Xiaocong shouted in shock and anger, struggling.
Zhang Xu sneered viciously, “Kill you! Only by killing you will I be the boss here!”
Xiaocong’s face turned crimson with suffocation, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t shake them off…
“Xiaocong, Xiaocong… Xiaocong!” Lin Xinlan suddenly woke from her dream.
She sat up abruptly, her forehead drenched with sweat, her eyes wide open in terror, looking utterly petrified.
The light was imdiately turned on, and Rong Shaoze, seeing her expression, quickly embraced her and asked anxiously, “Xinlan, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
“Xiaocong…” Lin Xinlan’s heart was still pounding with fear.
She clutched Rong Shaoze’s arm tightly, panicked, “I dread that Xiaocong was in trouble, he was crying, he was calling out to for help. Rong Shaoze, sothing has happened to him!”
The man’s pupils contracted sharply, pain stabbing at his heart.
He hugged her tightly, not letting her see the pain on his face at that mont.
“Xinlan, you were just dreaming, it’s not real. Xiaocong is fine; he’s with iying. How could anything happen to him?”
Lin Xinlan shook her head, “No, sothing has happened to him.”
She pushed him away and stared at him, urgently saying, “Otherwise, let talk to him on the phone. I won’t believe he’s okay until then. I’ve never dreamt of him being in trouble before. Just now in my dream, he was calling for his mother, asking to save him, his voice was so real, how could it be fake? He must be in trouble…”
Lin Xinlan’s expression changed, and she suddenly stared at Rong Shaoze with wide eyes.
The man felt uneasy under her gaze and asked perplexedly, “What’s the matter?”
“Rong Shaoze, you’re deceiving , aren’t you?” Lin Xinlan said with sudden realization, “Xiaocong never went to the headquarters with iying for training, sothing has happened! You’re lying to , aren’t you?!”
“I’m not lying to you. If sothing had happened to Xiaocong, how could I hide it from you?” Rong Shaoze said in a deep voice.
“Xinlan, you’re letting your daily concerns turn into nightmares. It’s because you’re too worried about Xiaocong that you had a bad dream at night. Don’t worry, he will be okay,” he reassured her.
A flicker of confusion crossed Lin Xinlan’s eyes.
She shook her head doubtfully, not quite believing his words.
“No… I didn’t pass out from heatstroke that ti, soone did sothing to , that’s why I fainted… If Xiaocong was really leaving for two months, he would have said goodbye to first. He wouldn’t just leave without saying anything…”
The more Lin Xinlan thought about it, the more she felt sothing was amiss. She stared intently at Rong Shaoze and demanded coldly, “You’re lying to , he’s in trouble, and you haven’t told !”
Rong Shaoze’s gaze flickered slightly, and he replied with a faint smile, “You have such a vivid imagination. It’s not impossible for you to talk to him on the phone. It’s just a bit of a hassle, but I’ll let you speak to him in a few days, okay?”
Seeing how seriously he spoke, Lin Xinlan asked with a mix of belief and skepticism, “Are you really not lying to ?”
