I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 860: Chapter 860: The Recurring Dream
 

Shen Fei had no idea what had happened, standing beside the table looking somewhat at a loss, until Shen Mo came over to help him arrange the bowls and chopsticks, which gave him the chance to quietly ask:

“Did something happen at home after I left?”

Shen Mo said, “Nothing.”

Shen Fei: “…”

The strange atmosphere did not last too long, as relatives and friends of the Shen family gradually arrived, the room warmed up with their presence.

During that time, Teacher Cheng had returned for a while to the dollhouse, bringing out roasted chicken and cooked chicken soup, which made the atmosphere even more cordial.

With fine food and clear wine, both the hosts and guests were thoroughly joyful.

By the time the gathering ended, it was already eight in the evening.

Mr. Shen did not deliberately ask them to stay, probably because he knew Bai Youwei had things on her mind that required calm contemplation.

The group returned to the Headquarters Building.

The dinner in the lobby on the ground floor of the headquarters was still ongoing, the young people sang and danced, reveling as if it were the New Year, Tan Xiao sought liveliness and stayed on the ground floor to continue the fun.

Teacher Cheng and Pan Xiaoxin, as usual, went back to the dollhouse to rest.

Bai Youwei and Shen Mo went to the medical area.

They had planned to visit Chen Hui to ask about the state of the maze, but Chen Hui was in a deep, unrousable sleep.

Reportedly, upon being admitted to the medical area, she was extremely dehydrated and malnourished, falling asleep during an IV infusion and had not woken up since.

The doctor said that Chen Hui was like this because she hadn’t rested for too long, as long as she slept well for a while, she should be able to recover.

As Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were preparing to leave, they learned that Du Lai had also been admitted to the medical area, his symptoms quite similar to Chen Hui’s, also in a comatose state.

It seemed he had been sustaining himself on sheer willpower, conveying all he wanted to say to Bai Youwei. Only after he had said everything, he returned to the medical area for treatment.

Bai Youwei felt quite emotional inside; although Du Lai was indifferent, his feelings for Fu Miaoxue were genuinely deep.

Early the next morning, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo came to the medical area again to see Chen Hui.

Chen Hui was still sleeping.

Unsure when she would wake, Bai Youwei decided to wait in the medical area, and waited until past noon when Chen Hui finally slowly came to.

The doctor timed her, Chen Hui had slept for a full eighteen hours, and even so, she still seemed not to have had enough sleep upon waking.

She opened her eyes, saw the doctor, saw Leonid, and then saw Bai Youwei, looking disoriented and unfocused, and finally, her gaze vacantly turned towards the snowy scenery outside the window.

“Am I out yet…” Chen Hui mumbled in confusion, “Or am I still in a dream…”

“You are out, this isn’t a dream,” Bai Youwei leaned down slightly, softly asking her, “Chen Hui, what did you encounter in Maze No. 1? Du Lai said it was a recurring dream; how did you break through the dream and return to reality?”

Chen Hui was silent for a long time; exhaustion made her reaction slow.

“Right… It was a dream…” she replied slowly, “I dreamt that I was back in school, with Teacher Tu, Zhang Tianyang, Liao Jingjing, Lin Zihang… everyone was there…”

Bai Youwei asked, “And then what happened?”

Chen Hui tried to recall, “… we were in class, Teacher Tu asked me to pass down the papers, Zhang Tianyang scored 112 points… he was first again, I had one point less than him, I shouldn’t have got that question wrong… if only I hadn’t made a mistake on that question, I was so annoyed… then Teacher Tu began to explain the questions…”

Bai Youwei couldn’t help but frown, the details of this dream were simply too realistic…

Chen Hui closed her eyes, speaking weakly, “It was terrifying… I thought the doll game was just a dream… I had a nightmare because the pressure from the exams was too great, but in reality, the school is still there, the teachers and students are all still there…”
