Chapter 415 He could choose not to endure this kind of hardship.
Lin Chang'er chuckled dryly. Before tonight, she could never have imagined that such words would come out of Wu Qingfeng's mouth.
He came from a prominent local family and was taught the most orthodox Confucian doctrines from a young age.
But now we're discussing supernatural and bizarre theories with her.
She thought that if her sugarcane-loving father found out, he would probably want to kill her.
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips. "Actually, I'm not that curious. If this kind of dream makes you uncomfortable, then don't have it again."
According to Freud's theory, the interpretation of dreams often starts from the subject's mental state, including their actions, thoughts, and ideas.
So she thought that if handled properly, his strange dream could be stopped.
She could roughly guess what the dog system was thinking.
Imbue him with memories related to the future, create a past connection, and deepen their bond.
But she felt that he could avoid this kind of hardship.
Wu Qingfeng looked at her with a deep gaze, "Don't you want to know who harmed you?"
Lin Chang'er tilted her head and thought for a moment. She got up, poured a glass of water, and asked him, "What is this?"
He said, "Tea!"
Lin Chang'er nodded, then suddenly opened the window, splashed the water in her cup out, and poured herself another cup. "What's this now?"
"Tea!"
Lin Chang'er nodded again, "But it's not the same cup of tea as before!"
Wu Qingfeng frowned slightly.
Lin Chang'er continued, "Time and space—if either one changes, it is no longer the same thing. Since they are not the same entity, they are not the same thing, and the demise of different things has no substantial connection."
Wu Qingfeng wasn't unaware of this principle; it was just that in that dream, seeing himself and her made it hard for him not to empathize with her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Chang'er knew he was still stuck on his own thoughts, so she continued to comfort him, saying, "Let's look at it from another angle."
Wu Qingfeng closed his eyes to indicate his agreement.
Lin Chang'er continued, "Wu Qingfeng, I hope you are happy and strong, but you are not happy with this dream, so I don't want you to be trapped in it."
"Furthermore, you can only grasp one of me in your dreams and me now, so there's no need to be sad about the one you can't hold onto."
Although she was curious, curiosity is useless.
Even if Wu Qingfeng really saw her being murdered in her dream, and even opened the book to give her the answer, clearly telling her who killed her, what could she do?
From the first day she arrived here, she knew she could never go back.
Since we can't go back, there's no need to waste any more energy on this matter.
Living well in the present moment is the most important thing.
If possible, you could also do something great right now.
For example, ensuring more people have food and clothing, maintaining stability and peace along the coast, and promoting maritime shipping...
Doing anything would be more meaningful than her suffering the pain of being murdered.
A glint flashed in Wu Qingfeng's eyes. He had always known that she was unconventional and could not be judged by worldly standards, but after hearing what she had just said, he couldn't help but feel moved.
She said she didn't want him to be trapped inside and unhappy.
So she can put aside her curiosity.
Actually, he wasn't unhappy; it was a breakdown caused by a mix of anger, helplessness, and confusion.
He said, "Chang'er, I'm not unhappy. I just can't accept your departure, even though I know clearly that the you in my dream and the you now are two completely different entities."
Lin Chang'er wanted to say that, in fact, the one in her dream was her.
But after much deliberation, she gave up.
Perhaps this is the best chance yet for him to be honest.
But seeing his still pale face, one can imagine how he would feel if he knew that the one in his dream was the real her.
Lin Chang'er thought that some white lies might have to be told.
She laughed and said, "Wu Qingfeng, didn't I say that dreams are all fake? Look, I'm sitting right in front of you now, aren't I? Just treat it as a bizarre dream, okay?"
Wu Qingfeng looked at her, seemingly determined to find out who had wronged her.
Lin Chang'er continued, "Me? I'm incredibly strong now. You've known me for so long, and none of those who tried to harm me have ever gotten the better of me."
"And let me tell you, we've really struck gold this time. Uncle Lin and Aunt Bai's trump card isn't shipbuilding; the firecrackers they make are even more stable than the gunpowder currently used in the imperial court."
"I've thought it over. When we get back to Ninghai, we'll make a big move and make sure the pirates can't even set foot on land, let alone cause trouble at sea."
Wu Qingfeng lowered his eyes, as if thinking of something, and said, "In your dreams, they are your parents, parents who only gave birth to you but never raised you..."
Lin Chang'er twitched her lips and said awkwardly, "I already said that a dream is a dream!"
Wu Qingfeng shook his head, "I always felt that it was more than just a dream."
Lin Chang'er tilted her head. So, brother, was all that she just said for nothing?
Okay, okay!
You should have said so earlier!
I'll follow your line of thinking, and we won't waste so much breath, okay?
Wu Qingfeng, “In my dream, I was your father’s disciple, and later I did some things to him that he considered bad…”
Lin Chang'er chuckled. Fortunately, she had heard Bai He mention this before; otherwise, she might have misunderstood and thought he was referring to the passing of her parents.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly saw his gaze sharpen. "Chang'er, do you remember what Lin Beishan did when he first met me?"
I remember, of course I remember, her father, that good-for-nothing, grabbed him by the neck and cursed him for betraying his master and ancestors, and said he wanted to kill him!
But she certainly couldn't say that!
He chuckled awkwardly, "Aunt Bai said that they almost drowned last time because they followed Magistrate Yang's advice. Uncle Lin's brain has been fried since then, and he's always talking nonsense. You're a gentleman, don't take it to heart."
“No,” Wu Qingfeng waved his hand, “I think Uncle Lin and Aunt Bai may have had the same dream.”
Lin Chang'er: "..." Thank you, big brother, for letting her off the hook and saving her from having to make amends in this or that way.
"The world is vast and full of wonders; if it's true, it seems plausible."
After all, if he can have a dream, others can certainly have one too.
Wu Qingfeng sighed, "So that's why Uncle Daolin always seems to have a deep-seated hatred for me..."
Lin Chang'er nodded in agreement, "It's pretty much true, Uncle Lin. He's probably also troubled by dreams like this, to the point that he can't distinguish between dreams and reality, which is why he mistook you for his disciple in his dream."
"In that case, you've been wronged quite a bit..."
