Chapter 295 253: Catching the Breeze
The advertising work for True Self lasted two days, completely finishing Thursday evening at seven. Huang Tianxuan arranged a dinner for the three of them, and the four sat together to chat about dreams.
The test results for the 2006 Petrus wine are out, and as expected, there were no results. So, besides sorting through the knowledge from their dreams, they also imagined how to enter dreams.
As usual, they drank a little, still the 2006 Petrus that Huang Tianxuan brought along. Even without results from the experiment, she still wanted to give it a shot.
However, Li Peifeng didn't wear any perfume, so even though everyone drank that bottle of wine evenly, they behaved with restraint, and naturally, dream entry after sleeping was impossible.
During the meal, they mainly discussed the knowledge learned in the dreams, filling in the gaps for one another, revisiting the old and learning new things.
Huang Tianxuan said she was making slight innovations in meditation techniques, making it so that while soothing the mind it could also relax the body, trying to compress sleep time as much as possible, and it seemed to be making some progress.
However, what she said sounded so profound, like a Qi Gong master. The two girls listened, half understanding, unable to help, so they just waited for her to study on her own and would become her disciples once the technique was mastered.
Wu Wenyue also showcased her achievements. She sang a song, one of the famous ballads of Narnia, "Song of the Earth." She translated the lyrics, and it sounded great, but without the instruments from the Otherworld, something felt missing.
Li Peifeng suggested she find a music teacher to systematically study music theory in reality, then practice an instrument, combining it with Narnia's music system to greatly attract fans in the future.
With such a suggestion, Wu Wenyue gladly accepted, saying that once she became a music master, she'd give everyone a signed photo.
Xu Manning took out her own clothing design sketches, a dozen of them, all inspired by the clothing of various creatures from the Otherworld, asking for their opinions.
"It's pretty, but it doesn't seem suitable for everyday wear, going for a high-end route?"
"Yes, I'm planning to position this batch as the 'haute couture' series for True Self, first letting Yueyue wear them in videos to gain some fame and see the reaction."
Everyone thought it had great potential, and Li Peifeng felt like planting a willow and unexpectedly getting a shade.
With two consecutive Shared Dreams, besides deepening their bond, it also seemed to help in their careers and lives.
I'm indeed their perfect partner!
Li Peifeng contentedly ate another bowl of rice.
After the meal, Huang Tianxuan was leaving, and Li Peifeng planned to catch a ride with her back home.
Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning's relatives were there, staying was pointless...
"Bye-bye, lately I need to focus on my writing for my thesis. Sometimes I might not chat with you all, so you should focus on studying and working too."
"Let us know when you get home."
"Ok."
Out the door and into the elevator, Li Peifeng held Huang Tianxuan's hand.
"Had quite a bit to drink, are you drunk?"
"Still okay."
Li Peifeng pondered, "Actually, my thought, like Wenyue's, is that Shared Dreams aren't related to the wine. Let's drink less in the future, it's costly and harmful."
Huang Tianxuan's cheeks were slightly flushed; she smiled gently, "I also feel it's not much related to the wine, but we had to test it. Speaking of... I found a significant common point in this Dream Crossing, don't know if you noticed."
"What?"
"The first person to dream-cross among us was Wenyue, according to her story, she was with you before sleep and also crossed with you in the dream."
"The second time was Zhao Qingge and you having a Shared Dream, you spent quite a bit of time together during the day."
"The third time, it was five of us, we also had dinner together before sleep."
"And the fourth time, recently, four of us had a Shared Dream, we ate and drank before sleep..."
Huang Tianxuan affirmed, "So, the common point is you."
Li Peifeng tensed up, "Me?"
"Yes."
Huang Tianxuan went into deep thought, "From the known clues, one of the conditions for Dream Crossing should be spending some time with you during the day. And even if dreams occur, you will appear in them..."
Detective Holmes indeed!
Li Peifeng chuckled, "I get it, analyzing from the perspective of quantum mechanics, if one misses the other enough, they can reach their dream. There's a saying about this, 'Daytime thoughts lead to nighttime dreams. I'm not dreaming because I have thoughts. If you have thoughts, we dream together.'
With a slight pause, Mr. Li used a melodious voice, rising and falling in tone as he finished, his eyes filled with affection: "It's my honor."
"Ding~"
The elevator door opened right in time, and the two walked out slowly. During this, Huang Tianxuan kept tilting her head watching, clearly not believing a word of Li Peifeng's explanation just now.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Aren't you going to explain?"
Huang Tianxuan's eyes teased, "Regarding that dream... Are you sure you weren't messing around?"
"Alright!"
Li Peifeng sighed, "I'll confess, have you seen Inception?"
"I've seen it..." Huang Tianxuan already knew what Li Peifeng wanted to say.
"I'm actually a Dream Thief, wandering between dreams and reality, possessing the magical ability to construct, control, and cross dreams in others' sleep!"
Li Peifeng vowed, "So wretched like me, vulgar like me, I should be using this ability to exploit romantic encounters instead of stealing commercial secrets from people's subconscious to profit. Does this answer satisfy you?"
"...Can you speak properly?" Huang Tianxuan lightly hit him, "I was seriously discussing the cause of dreams with you."
