Don't Want to See You In The Next Life (Volume 2)

Chapter 26

Xia Liang knew that he had fallen into a dream again. This dream made him feel a little uncomfortable. He wanted to wake up as soon as possible, but he couldn't.

"Brother Liang, Brother Liang?" 

Someone's calling him from a place outside his dreamland. He could tell that it was Zhou Shuo's voice but at this moment he couldn't open his mouth, let alone make any sound.

He finally opened his eyes when he felt himself staggering. Looking at the dark night view outside the car window, he suddenly remembered that he was squinting on the way home.

Zhou Shuo had already parked the car on the side of the road. He looked at Xia Liang worriedly.

"Brother Liang, what's the matter with you? Is something uncomfortable?"

As Zhou Shuo said that, he wanted to reach out and touch Xia Liang's forehead. Xia Liang avoided it like a reflex only to realize that his face was so cold. Even the tips of his hair were drenched with sweat and pressed against his cheeks. His body was sore and weak. 

"I just..." 

When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was very hoarse. He had to cough a few times before continuing.

"What happened to me?"

"You seemed to have a nightmare just now." Zhou Shuo paused and asked, "Brother Liang, are you feeling unwell? The wine you drank today is less than one-third of your usual intake but you vomited twice in a row...Would you like me to take you to the hospital?"

"No need." Xia Liang moved his body with difficulty, "I'm more awake now, you can continue driving."

"...Oh." 

Although Zhou Shuo was still a little worried, he didn't dare to disobey him and started the car again. This is the second day they came to City D.

They followed Song Yan's suggestion and moved to City D on the pretense of work and took over the development project on City D's Film and Television Base. 

As one of the main sponsors, when they arrived, the Song Family patriarch sent them a banquet invitation very enthusiastically.

Although the two families of Xia and Song were connected through marriage, they still focused on their commercial cooperation so Xia Liang didn't dare to take it lightly. Even if he felt unwell, he still dressed up to attend the banquet.

Fortunately, Father Song valued Xia Liang, the eldest son of the Xia family. When he found that Xia Liang's physical condition was not good, he ended the banquet early and asked Zhou Shuo to send Xia Liang off first. 

Although Xia Liang had already slept in the car, he still did not feel comfortable. After getting off the vehicle, he ran to the sidewalk and vomited again. He couldn't even stand properly.

Zhou Shuo supported him by his side.

"Brother Liang, don't hold it in. I'll take you to the hospital."

"No, how many times do you want me to say it?"

Xia Liang pointed to their apartment door a few meters away and complained.

Zhou Shuo was a little bit dumbfounded. Xia Liang shows his childish side occasionally only when he's drunk. But it was not easy to get Xia Liang drunk.

He helped Xia Liang stagger back to their apartment. As soon as he turned on the light, he saw Xia Liang suddenly raising his arms to block his eyes and said, "It's too dazzling, turn it off!"

Zhou Shuo had no choice but to turn off the light. He fumbled for a while in the dark before he helped Xia Liang sit on the sofa. He wanted to help Xia Liang take off his shoes when he heard Xia Liang say, "Go and pour me a glass of iced water."

Zhou Shuo frowned and said, "You just vomited. Your stomach is empty. It's not good to drink iced water." 

"If I ask you to go, you go!" 

Xia Liang lifted his leg and kicked him.

Zhou Shuo dodged. After he discovered that Xia Liang was drunk, not only did he become a little childish but he also got a lot of grumpy temper. 

He walked to the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, and decided to boil a pot of hot water to help Xia Liang make a cup of tea.

Xia Liang moved away from Zhou Shuo, reached out his hand in his pocket, and fumbled for a while before he touched his mobile phone. He squinted his eyes and called Du Lanze.

"Hello?" There was a quick answer to the call and Du Lanze's relaxed voice came, "Is this Xia Liang? What can I do for you?"

After exchanging messages for quite some time, his contact name for Xia Liang has also changed from "Mr. Xia" to the current direct name. 

Xia Liang turned his groggy head with some effort and said in a slurred voice, "I had a nightmare again."

Du Lanze was silent for a while then asked, "Are you drunk?" 

"I am sober."

Du Lanze felt that he should stop arguing about this issue at this time and then asked again, "What did you just say?"

"I said, I had a nightmare again."

Xia Liang spoke slowly, as if he was reminiscing, "I dreamt of...a snake, a huge...python. No, it doesn't seem to be a python but a snake anyway. "

Du Lanze was silent for a moment then asked, "What color is the snake?"

"It's dark all around, I can't see it clearly." 

"You dreamt of it, then what?"

"Then?" Xia Liang recalled carefully, "It... seems to desperately want to drill into my arms but it was slapped by me."

"..." 

Du Lanze said quietly, "Xia Liang, if you dream of this snake again in the future, remember to be gentle with it."

"Why?"

"On our kind, if an Omega dreams of a snake burrowing into his arms, it is a fetal dream in all likelihood."

Xia Liang's brain circuit jammed.

"Wh...what dream?"

"If you can see its color clearly, you may be able to predict in advance whether you are carrying a small Alpha or a small Omega. So, if you dream of it again next time, take a closer look."

Du Lanze paused then added, "Oh, I almost forgot to say it, congratulations."

"........" 

Xia Liang laid on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze until the beep that cut off the signal came from the phone.
