Chapter 529: The Same Dream
“Do you drink?”
Pei Yan picked up a can of beer and passed it to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng glanced at him speechlessly and did not receive it. Instead, she turned to Chu Yan and said, “Minors can’t drink.”
Chu Yan said, “…I’m not drinking.”
Pei Yan sneered. “Don’t worry, Junior. He never drinks when he comes out with us.”
Then, he opened the can and took a big gulp.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them. “If you don’t drink, sing. Shi Yi and the rest are still waiting for someone. They probably won’t be here until twenty minutes later.”
Neither of them moved. They remained seated on the sofa, one eating while the other sitting foolishly.
Pei Yan was speechless.
His brain was probably fried from wanting to come to the KTV with them.
“Why don’t the three of us play Fight the Landlord?” Lu Sheng suggested.
When Pei Yan heard that, he looked at Chu Yan and heard him say in a low voice, “Okay.”
“Minors are prohibited from gambling,” Pei Yan reminded her annoyingly.
Lu Sheng was speechless.
This fellow learned quickly.
However, Chu Yan had an old soul that had lived for more than a thousand years. He should not be considered underage, right?
However, his memories were still in the stage of being sealed. He temporarily did not know that he had been there for a thousand years. Hence, he was still considered a minor so far.
Pei Yan smiled proudly at Lu Sheng and even winked at her.
“Donate your eyes if you don’t want them anymore,” Chu Yan suddenly said coldly.
Pei Yan was shocked and hurriedly turned his head. Lu Sheng chuckled.
“Since you don’t want to sing, I’ll go ahead.”
Lu Sheng shrugged. “Up to you.”
Pei Yan took another sip of cold beer and walked to the music stand to sing.
Lu Sheng regretted it quickly.
She had lived for more than a hundred years and had followed Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian out most of the time.
When singing karaoke with them, they selected soothing old songs.
However, Pei Yan’s song made her feel that the room would collapse at any time.
She rubbed her temples and waited to get used to it.
Pei Yan was swaying and dancing enthusiastically when the music stopped.
“Chu Yan, what are you doing?”
It turned out that Chu Yan had paused the song.
He said lightly, “It’s noisy.”
“You—”
Pei Yan gritted his teeth for a while. In the end, he could only compromise and walk to the bar gloomily to drink.
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and smiled without saying anything.
“What time are you returning to school tomorrow?” Chu Yan asked Lu Sheng.
“Me?” Lu Sheng pondered and said, “It should be in the afternoon.”
Chu Yan nodded. “Yes, call me when you’re back.”
“Call me along too. I’ll go back with you.”
Due to the accident two days ago, Pei Jiayou was afraid that something would happen to him again, so they did not allow him to drive for now.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay.”
Chu Yan glanced at Pei Yan unhappily but did not say anything.
About ten minutes later, the door was pushed open.
A large group of people walked in. Lu Sheng had seen one of them before. It was Ling Fei, who had gone home with them yesterday afternoon.
When she entered, her gaze landed on Pei Yan. However, Pei Yan was not looking at her. Instead, he was greeting others.
When Lu Sheng’s gaze landed on the three youths, she was first stunned before her eyes reddened.
Chu Sihan’s appearance had changed after reincarnation, but the appearances of these three people had not changed at all.
If there was anything different, it was that they were more inexperienced than before.
“Oh!” When Shi Yi saw Lu Sheng, who was beside Chu Yan, he immediately widened his eyes and said, “Chu Yan, you’ve finally thought it through?”
“Come, let me introduce you.” Pei Yan said to the three of them, “This is a junior from our school. Her name is Jiang Jing. Pretty, right?”
“Hello.” Lu Sheng smiled and nodded at them.
To be honest, she felt close to them. Unfortunately, they did not know her anymore.
“Hello, Junior Jiang!”
The three of them spoke in unison.
“Cousin.”
One of the round-faced girls greeted Chu Yan.
Lu Sheng’s gaze landed on her and she could not help but be stunned. She probed, “Is this sister’s surname Fu?”
The round-faced girl looked at her in surprise. “You know me?”
Lu Sheng smiled and shook her head. “I guessed.”
“Oh?” Shi Yi raised an eyebrow. “Since Junior Jiang is so good at guessing, quickly guess what my surname is?”
Chu Yan clicked his tongue and was about to speak when Lu Sheng said, “Your name is Shi Yi. He’s Yun Ting. This is Qi Dongjing, no, Qi Jing.”
Shi Yi raised an eyebrow. “Wow, could Chu Yan have shown you our photos before?”
Chu Yan and Pei Yan were stunned.
They knew best if they had shown Lu Sheng their photos.
“No, even Chu Yan doesn’t know my nickname. How did you know?” Qi Jing asked after being stunned.
Dongjing was the nickname his grandmother gave him because he started to speak in winter.
However, all the brothers in the family had only two characters in their names, so he was called Qi Jing.
His classmates and friends all called him Qi Jing. As for his nickname, even Chu Yan and Pei Yan did not know it. How did Jiang Jing know?
“I think you’re very familiar, but I’ve never seen you before.”
A boy standing behind them suddenly spoke.
Lu Sheng did not notice him at first because her attention was on Shi Yi and the rest.
She only noticed it when the boy spoke.
She suddenly stood up and stared at the boy in a daze with tears in her eyes.
“Is your name… Lu Ran?”
The boy nodded. “Yes.”
Lu Sheng composed herself and smiled. “I know you, but you might not know me.”
“What happened?” Qi Jing looked at Chu Yan and Pei Yan suspiciously.
However, he realized that the duo was also revealing puzzled expressions.
“I think you’re familiar too.”
Fu Sisi walked forward and smiled at her. “It’s as if I’ve seen you before.”
Lu Sheng felt that since they had been reborn in this city and could even continue to accompany Chu Sihan, this was very likely related to Chu Sihan.
He could not bear to leave these people, so he let them reincarnate here too?
“Me too.”
The girl standing beside Yun Ting smiled and asked Lu Sheng, “Do you know my name?”
“Yes.” Lu Sheng nodded. “If I’m not wrong, you should be called Yu Mingyue.”
Yes, this girl looked identical to Yu Mingyue.
“You’re right. My name is Yu Mingyue.” Yu Mingyue smiled and said, “Your name is Jiang Jing?”
Lu Sheng shook her head. “My name is Lu Sheng.”
“Lu Sheng?!”
When she said this, everyone present, except Chu Yan and Pei Yan, was stunned.
“Isn’t your name Jiang Jing?” Ling Fei asked with widened eyes.
Lu Sheng smiled and explained, “I had no choice but to use that name to attend school because of some unspeakable secret. Senior Ling Fei, you have to keep it a secret for me.”
Ling Fei pouted. “What has your name got to do with me?”
“You…” Chu Yan looked at Shi Yi and the rest, who had yet to regain their senses, and asked with narrowed eyes, “You’ve heard of this name?”
“What a coincidence.”
Shi Yi said in a low voice, “I previously told Yun Ting and the rest that I had a dream not long ago. In my dream, I realized that we were in ancient times, meeting at a place called the Lu family’s restaurant. There was a girl inside called Lu Sheng, but I couldn’t see her face clearly. In the end, they also had the same dream as me.”
Chu Yan looked at the others.
The others nodded solemnly.
They were still sitting together and trying to find out more details then.
There was nothing strange about dreaming, and there were also strange dreams.
However, everyone had the same dream on the same day. This was very ridiculous.
Chu Yan’s heart jumped. “When did you start having dreams?”
Qi Jing said, “Ours was on 1 September, the first day of school. As that dream was very strange, we remembered it very clearly.”
Chu Yan was shocked. He had also started dreaming that night.
He looked at Lu Sheng and realized that she was staring at Lu Ran. He could not help but frown.
Then, he remembered that Lu Ran’s surname was Lu and so was Lu Sheng’s. The displeasure in his heart immediately became confusion.
“You… dreamed of us too?” Chu Yan probed.
Lu Sheng nodded. “I dreamed of all of you. If I’m not wrong, the person you dreamed of should be me.”
“There’s such a thing in this world?” Pei Yan was shocked.
Then, he frowned slightly. “But why didn’t I dream?”
“Perhaps you weren’t close to us in your previous life,” Shi Yi teased with a smile.
After saying this, he suddenly realized something. He looked at everyone and said, “Could it be that we dreamed of the memories of our previous lives?”
Yun Ting said lightly, “Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be a better explanation.”
Everyone looked at each other, but they were not in the mood to catch up.
Although they were familiar, they were still unfamiliar.
Qi Jing joked, “Could this be the legendary fateful reunion in our next lives?”
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “Maybe.”
She did not expect Chu Sihan to be so concerned about these friends.
Pei Yan pouted. Although he was unhappy that he did not have the same dream, he did not say anything and pulled everyone to play cards.
Lu Sheng looked at Lu Ran and his clothes. She suddenly felt that he should have chosen a good family in this lifetime.
As long as he did not meet a father like Lu Dahua, he should be leading a good life.
She just did not know how Lu Ran and Leya were doing in Xuan Yue Country.
People were strange. In ancient times, she wanted to return to the modern world. Now that she was back, she missed the ancient people and wanted to see if they were doing well.
However, she was still very happy to see these familiar faces again.
“Accompany me for a walk?” Chu Yan suggested.
Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Lu Sheng could only nod and follow him out.
The two of them were about to go downstairs when they suddenly heard a scream.
The duo turned back at the same time and saw the waiters in the corridor running towards a room.
That room was 666. It was next to their room.
The two of them looked at each other and turned around at the same time, intending to follow the waiters over to take a look.
During this period of time, a lot of people joined in the fun.
“Haha. Hahaha!”
A strange laughter suddenly sounded from inside. After a while, someone shouted, “Quick, stop him. Don’t let him escape!”
“Let go! I want to go home! I want to go home!”
Lu Sheng and Chu Yan looked in and saw a middle-aged man being pressed to the ground.
He was very strong and those people could not suppress him at all. After a while, he broke free of those people.
“I want to go home. Let me go home. Sob—”
He suddenly sat on the ground and wept.
Everyone thought that the man was drunk, but they did not know that he was possessed.
“I want Mummy. I want Daddy. Sob—”
“Move.”
Chu Yan reprimanded.
When the manager saw him, he was first puzzled and then asked, “Young Master Chu, do you know this man?”
Chu Yan said lightly, “Let the others go out first.”
When the manager saw this, he hurriedly asked the others to leave.
Instantly, only the guests, the manager, and Lu Sheng were left in the room.
“Manager Zhang, I’m really sorry. He just threw a tantrum after drinking and caused you trouble.”
A woman held her forehead and apologized.
Lu Sheng saw blood on her forehead. She must have been injured when she tried to stop the man.
Lu Sheng said lightly, “He’s not throwing a tantrum. Neither was he drunk.”
Chu Yan looked at them and said, “You guys can leave first.”
The woman frowned unhappily. “We’re his friends. We can’t leave him behind.”
Lu Sheng ignored the woman and walked to the man. She squatted down and asked with a smile, “Little friend, do you want to go home?”
When the man heard that, he nodded frantically and said in a tender tone, “Go home. I want to go home!”
“Okay, get off this uncle. I’ll bring you home, alright?”
When Lu Sheng said this, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone looked over in shock and fear.
“You… What kind of joke is this? He’s just drunk,” the woman said in disbelief.
When the man heard that, he immediately stopped struggling. He widened his eyes and asked Lu Sheng, “Is Sister telling the truth? Can you really bring me home?”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes, I’m not lying to you.”
“Okay, Sister, you’re not allowed to lie.”
“I’m not lying to you,” Lu Sheng promised again.
The man giggled. Then, the smile disappeared. He shook his head and looked at everyone suspiciously.
“Why am I sitting on the ground?”
His friends gaped and did not know how to answer.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Uncle, you’re just drunk and temporarily lost your memory.”
“Where did this girl come from?”
The man looked at Lu Sheng suspiciously and stood up.
Lu Sheng looked at the corner behind him and waved her hand.
Soon, they left the room with Manager Zhang.
Manager Zhang seemed to have guessed something and his expression darkened.
He invited the two of them to the pantry downstairs to ask for the reason.
Lu Sheng took out a talisman and kept the child inside before looking at Manager Zhang.
“A few years ago, a CEO often brought his child here. He was very naughty and kept running around. That CEO was drinking in that room just now. Perhaps because he was drunk, he did not notice when the child ran out.”
When Manager Zhang said this, his expression paused before he continued, “Later, that child crawled out of a small window on the third floor and fell down. He died on the spot.”
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes. “Manager Zhang, you’re trying to say that the child attached to that man just now was that CEO’s son?”
