Chapter 28: Wandering in a Dream

＊＊＊

It turned out that Donut was really a Chinese.

Toge sighed slightly in his heart after getting the answer.

But Donut was clearly speaking Japanese now, why did she subconsciously think that she was speaking Chinese? She even thought that he was speaking Chinese too?

Was this also a cognitive confusion?

And judging from Donut's current proficiency in Japanese, although sometimes the word order was strange and the intonation was sometimes different from normal Japanese, but overall, she was still very proficient. This was impossible without more than half a year of Japanese learning experience.

Who was Donut?

Overseas student? Migrant worker?

Migrant workers were basically impossible. After all, Donut was so young. If she was a migrant worker and she was sent to Japan, then the assignment was a worker.

Doubts gradually arose in Toge's heart. The teenager not only thought that Donut seemed to have said "community" and "neighboring community" and other words with a strong sense of life when talking to him just now. All this showed that Donut was not a fatherless and motherless person who appeared out of nowhere, nor was she a product of the "biological laboratory" as Gojo-sensei said.

Before she came here, she had her own life, and her own neighbors and friends who would complain about the neighbors in the next community who would not name their children like a normal person.

In short, she was a normal person before "everything" happened.

"Donut."

Toge sat on the bed and bent down slightly, reaching out to touch her forehead and looking at her seriously.

"Do you remember what happened before?"

Even though Gojo-sensei simply told Toge that Donut had no embassy claiming her in East Asia, Toge still did not believe that this result was accurate.

All human beings were born and raised by their parents without exception, and it was impossible for her to come into this world for no reason.

Maybe, during Donut's time at the technical college, her family at home was worried about her all the time.

Gojo-sensei had not told Toge about the decision to actively probe Donut's memory, and Toge had no intention of telling anyone else. Now that he asked this question, it was probably just because the atmosphere was right, or because the boy was selfish.

The boy in front of her had a gentle look and clear eyes, with the cold and bright moonlight outside the window, the boy looked as if he was shining with holy light and was unstoppable.

However, this image inevitably added some weirdness and awkwardness to Tiantian, who had watched too many Focus Report.

So, she reached out and grabbed the boy's hand expressionlessly, frowning and asking back, "What happened to me? Something from my past life?"

"Do you know that your current appearance reminds me of a legal program I watched in my early years?"

Tiantian thought about her own memories, rolled her eyes in front of the boy, and talked endlessly.

"How many years has it been? I forgot, but it's not a recent thing. A loser was idle all day and did nothing. As a result, he couldn't even eat with his minimum living allowance."

The dull-faced boy in front of her listened to Tiantian's self-talk. He grabbed Tiantian's hand, as if to stop Tiantian from changing the subject.

"Wait..."

Tiantian had no other hobbies in her life.

Because of her upbringing, she was actually a very old-fashioned person. When she was talking, everyone around her, young or old, knew that she hated others interrupting her the most, which was equivalent to not giving her face. So, when the boy reached out to pull her hand, Tiantian frowned and slapped his hand away with a sound of 'slap'.

"You can ignore me when I'm talking, you may not take it seriously. But please don't interrupt me when I'm talking, it's not polite."

Tiantian taught the strange child in front of her seriously.

"Whoever's turn it is, let them speak. Those who don't want to speak should not interrupt the one who is speaking, just listen carefully, okay?"

Toge: "..."

The boy felt a little wronged again, and he seemed to hear his heart breaking quietly.

Toge: "...okay."

In fact, Tiantian's tone was not heavy at all. When she spoke, her voice was slow, and her pronunciation was very smooth and clear.

But at that moment, Toge inexplicably felt an invisible domineering color on her body. It was hard to say what the experience was, but he always felt that he was suddenly a generation behind Tiantian... that kind of subtle feeling, huh?

"The man couldn't afford to eat, so he had evil thoughts and did burglary."

Seeing that the biy was honest, Tiantian began to take advantage of her excitement and began to tell the story.

Toge: "..."

Toge: "...is this story true?"

The boy's expression was corrected when he heard this.

"I said this is what happened on our side, how can I make it up?"

Tiantian sat up from the bed, looking at the boy with sparkling eyes, and saw that the boy seemed to be interested. She felt a great sense of satisfaction in her heart and said with a smile.

"It just so happened that the man went to a woman's home, and the woman was sleeping at night. The man secretly rummaged through the woman's bedside table, hoping to find some valuable gold and silver jewelry to sell for money. As luck would have it, the woman was not sleeping well, so she woke up and looked into the eyes of the thief."

"!!!"

"...is the woman okay in the end? Did the thief... hurt her?"

Kind and soft-hearted people could always find the key points of some problems. When the boy heard this, the only thing he cared about was whether the victim was killed.

And the boy's reaction softened Tiantian's eyebrows.

"The ending is that the thief suddenly lit up the wisdom tree. He sat at the head of the bed with a holy face and said to the woman that because the woman usually did good deeds and accumulated virtues, he was a god from heaven, who came to enlighten the woman and would leave at dawn."

"The woman was very moved, and after the man left at dawn, she called the police."

Toge: "..."

In general, this was a story of lowering intelligence.

"Then look at it the other way around. Is this scene very similar to that story?"

Tiantian stared at the fidgeting boy in front of hwe with a serious look like the Dean of Classroom Patrol.

"...no... I'm not that weird, and this isn't your home, Donut..."

Toge was so confused by Donut that he couldn't speak clearly. But he couldn't accept Tiantian's metaphor for no reason.

"No, this is my home."

Although it was a dream, and her form and appearance had changed, but wherever she lay was her home, and her bed.

Tiantian spoke coldly.

"As for you, you are probably the one who looks like someone from a cartoon for children, so I had a dream of telling stories to children instead of a projection of a p*rnographic dream."

Toge: "..."

Toge: "...what on earth are you talking about?!!"

The boy's white cheeks suddenly became red, and his earlobes were red as if they were cooked, his purple eyes stared at Tiantian with bloodshot eyes.

What dream? What a mess of p*rnographic dreams!

And why was he for children? How could he look so childish? And Donut didn't look that old! Why say such a depressing thing to someone of the same age?

What's wrong with him? Japanese men were also young men with all kinds of functions at his age, okay? Why should he be assigned to children?

"Okay, brother, go find me a cigarette and a lighter."

Tiantian patted the boy's shoulder expressionlessly and began to skillfully call upon the projection in the dream.

[The dream journey begins: Mission 1: Save the boys besieged by cursed spirits and curse users!]

[Mission 2: Build your own 90-square-meter first-floor house and foundation.]

Just then.

A familiar and friendly electronic sound rang in Tiantian's ears.

The electronic sound was hazy and crisp as if covered with a thin veil. For a moment, she lost her mind and soul.

"...anyway, you should quit smoking..."

On the other side, the boy was still whispering in her ear. He was a little close to her, and the beautiful purple eyes on his neutral and pretty face, coupled with his blushing face, looked unusually bright and eye-catching.

The boy's somewhat shy demeanor, as well as the immature impulse of being eager to prove something but not knowing what to do, were all so vivid.

"Shh, don't talk."

Tiantian stared at the moonlight outside the window, and stopped Toge from continuing to talk.

She couldn't suppress her inner impulse, gently pushed away the sluggish Toge beside the bed, and got out of bed and stood under the bed.

"Donut wait... what are you going to do?"

The boy held Donut's arm and looked at Tiantian's excited posture strangely.

"Don't stop me, you should rest."

Tiantian smiled and turned back, and her dark blue eyes bloomed a creepy faint light in the dark.

"Wait..."

Toge stared, and stood up from the chair beside the bed. Compared to Tiantian, his relatively tall and thin figure directly blocked Tiantian.

Under the thin clothes of the young man, there were muscles ready for development. Once he found something wrong, he was ready to take down Tiantian at any time.

In any case, without the interference of the cursed power, he had proved that he could beat Tiantian. Even if Tiantian used the cursed power on him, Toge had a feeling that Tiantian would definitely not hurt him.

"Have a good rest, stop messing around, you're no match for me."

Looking at the boy's posture, Tiantian grinned.

[Awakening Skill: Quick Sleep]

[Skill Supplement: The person who casts the skill is limited to one person. It can make the person who is cast the skill quickly enter a healthy seven-hour sleep.]

[Skill Tips: Cooling time is 24 hours.]

"!!!"

Toge widened his eyes, and a drowsy feeling in his brain invaded Toge's mind and spirit like a pulse.

The boy began to stagger on the spot.

The next moment, his body fell uncontrollably on Tiantian's body, he began to feel weak all over.

"Sleep well."

Tiantian patted Toge's back like comforting a child, letting the boy's head bury weakly between her neck.

The head felt fluffy, a bit like a puppy.

But, the next second.

The boy's hands suddenly strangled her waist.

The force was so strong that it seemed to want to break her waist.

"...you can't leave."

Toge's eyes were dim, he gritted his teeth, endured the strong and unimpeded sleepiness, he spoke hoarsely to Donut.
