COLD RAIN

CHAPTER 11

Closing his eyes after more than thirty hours without sleep, Sailub had a lucid dream.

The so-called lucid dreams meant knowing that you were in a dream and still having a sense of autonomy.

But even if everything in front of him was illusory, he could only watch as a spectator, unable to move, unable to speak and unable to participate in anything, even though it was something he had experienced, something that had really happened.

He saw Pon sitting curled up in the corner, alone in a small and cramped room.

He held his phone tightly and two minutes later he lit up the screen to see the time, calculating something soundlessly.

It was hard to wait for the whole hour, he hurriedly exhaled some warmth on the palm of his hand and opened the dial-up interface to make a call to the contact named "husband".

The long beep turned into a series of short ones.

While listening, Pon recalled what the people who sent him up the mountain said.

They said that Young Master Sailub had gone to find his first love.

That man was beautiful, smart and could draw, so he would definitely not come tonight.

Every time he thought about it, Pon's face paled and his hand holding the phone trembled. No one answered at the other end.

Sailub in his dream was very anxious. Just as he was about to step forward and hug the trembling man, the picture suddenly turned and he walked past a department store in the center of S City.

He saw himself and Pon walking side by side in the street.

After the blind date dinner arranged by the two families three years ago, the two of them were pushed out for a walk by their elders on the grounds that "the two of them need to chat nicely".

Pon blushed unnaturally and walked very slowly. He was so nervous that he looked for a topic desperately, "You, do you like painting?"

Sailub, with his hands in his pockets, still looked to be in his teens. He frowned impatiently, thinking of his first love who left him to learn to paint. His tone was not good,"Don't like it."

Pon let out an "oh". He was surprised and a little lost at the same time, but quickly regained his spirit and continued to search for topics.

"Then do you like to catch dolls?"

Sailub was very annoyed.

He just wanted to get rid of this fool quickly. He turned into the department store on the side of the road, his face cold, and stood in front of a row of doll catching machines at the door.

Pon trotted to keep up, and when he saw Sailub buying tokens, he was surprised and said, "Can you catch dolls?"

Sailub ignored him and started to insert the tokens as soon as he exchanged them.

However, he was irritable and lacked patience, and he didn't catch anything after spending most of his money.

When he stepped up and raised his leg to give the crappy machine a kick, Pon, standing in front of another machine, waved at him, "Grab this, this one has a round head, it must be easy to catch."

He hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly walked over, inserted the token, manipulated the joystick, saw that the position was right, lowered the claws and, sure enough, caught it.

Pon applauded and cheered like a child.

When he got the Doraemon doll, his face was full of disbelief: "This, this is for me?"
