Chapter 9 Dream Catcher (2)

The location of the coffee shop is in a bustling area. It didn't take long for it to open, and the customers came one after another, and then the seats were full. Ankeer, like all the waiters, except for a short break, just treated the customers with a smile and worked hard.An Keer naturally didn't have the mood to think about those trivial things. Finally, when she got off work, she drank water and rested in the tea room. She was about to pack up and go home. The store manager, A Jin, brought her a packaged Strawberry Cake.

"Thank you!" An Keer said gratefully to Ajin.

"It should be, you work very hard." A Jin smiled, watched her pack her things, and asked when she thought of something, "I see that you are 17 years old on your profile, and school has already started. Don't you have to go to school?"

An Keer, who was packing her things, paused for a moment, then continued with the work in hand. After a while, she smiled and said, "I failed the entrance exam."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ajin realized that he asked a question that shouldn't be asked, because a look of unhappiness flashed across An Ke'er's face, even if it was fleeting.

An Keer shook her head, took her satchel and packed cakes and said goodbye to the store manager A Jin politely, then left the coffee shop.

She was walking on the city avenue leading to the halfway up the mountain. After she was free, a lot of troublesome things came to her mind. It's really a bad time. Why did she let go of all these things?

She turned the road again and walked into the small park with thousands of autumns. There was no one in the park, so she just sat on the swing, opened the cake box, shook the swing gently, and filled the delicious cake into the mouthful. belly.

The cake was only half eaten when someone came to the park. It was a girl who also worked in the coffee shop, named Lili.Lili was very excited to see her, and ran over to say hello, and sat on the other swing next to her, swinging and playing.

"Where do you live?" Lili asked.

"Over there." An Ke'er pointed to the mountainside with her chin, but did not clearly say where she lived.

"Did you come to Emperor Yingjima entirely for work?" Lili asked again.

"Not all, but it's mainly for making money." An Ke'er smiled, but when it comes to money, she feels terribly bitter.

Lili nodded, her eyes fell on the cake An Keer put on her lap, and she suddenly smiled meaningfully: "The cake Ah Jin gave you is different."

"Huh? Isn't this an employee reward? What's the difference?" An Keer asked.

"Yes, although it is an employee reward, yours is a boutique."

"Isn't it just a cake? How about I change it with you next time?"

"I dare not ask for it." Lili shook her head.

"...Do you usually come here?" An Keer didn't want to stop the topic on a piece of cake, and asked Lili instead.

"No, I'm waiting for someone here." As I was speaking, a man wearing a hotel work uniform appeared in the tree-lined path opposite. Seeing him, Lili waved to him and left the swing, "he's here, I'll Gone. See you later!"

"See you later!" An Keer watched as Lili ran towards the man, and the two disappeared down the avenue hand in hand.She ate the remaining half of the cake, and then swayed herself very high in every possible way, facing the wind, her hair fluttering, squinting, looking at the sky full of sunset from time to time and sometimes far away, her mind The things in it were gradually cleaned up.

The fatigue from work eased up a bit, An Keer left the small park, and she was concerned about a certain matter, so she went back to the commercial street to shop for some gadgets.

By the time we got back to the villa, we had already missed dinner time.Butler Dai left food for her, and she sat alone at the kitchen table to eat, seeing that the chef was still busy, and the dishes didn't look like they were for the staff.

"Who else missed dinner?" She asked Butler Dai who was overseeing the work.

"Master Cheng went out in the afternoon, and the secretary called just now to say that he will be back for dinner, and we still have an hour to prepare." Butler Dai said truthfully that Cheng is the master of the house, and serving him well is the top priority of all the staff here. The treatment of everyone is naturally incomparable with him.

An Keer went upstairs after dinner, and met Xihe outside the room. The other party changed his normal routine, walked past her in a hurry, and took the elevator downstairs.She entered the room and put a bag of things from the commercial street on the small table in front of the window. When she took off her coat, she saw through the window that Xihe and Zimo got into the car at the same time anxiously, and left. House.

"Did something happen?" Even if An Keer was curious, no one would tell her the answer at this time.Sitting by the window, she dumped the contents of the bag on the table. It was a metal ring, a bundle of dark green leather cord, white nylon thread, some white feathers, and some beads with holes.

She wrapped a dark green leather rope densely around the metal ring, leaving a section at the end of the leather rope as a lanyard, then threaded 10 golden beads into the nylon thread, and then weaved a spider on the metal ring net.She is like a natural craftsman, and the delicate spider web was quickly completed under her dexterous hands. Finally, she cut 4 pieces of leather rope, folded them in half, put one end on the ring, and the other end wore 2 purple Big beads, and tied with feathers, a beautiful 'dream catcher' is complete.

She lifted the 'dream catcher' into the air, and the night wind blew in from the window, making it sway lightly. She looked up at it, and felt that it was like a protective net cast by the guardian god to the world, for those who own it. bring happiness.

……

After taking a bath, An Keer lay on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously. When she woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. She went downstairs to find water to drink, only to find Xihe and Zimo sitting on the sofa in the living room He was talking in a low voice, with an extremely angry expression on his face; and the expressions of the busy servants were also different, and they were all nervous.

The two brothers who were talking turned a blind eye to her, and An Keer didn't dare to approach them. She went into the kitchen alone and drank a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator.There are several cold dishes on the kitchen counter, no one has eaten them, and the exquisite desserts have been put aside and no one cares about them.The chef had already left, and the servant in charge of cleaning the kitchen just came back to take out the trash, An Keer caught her and asked, "Hasn't Cheng come back for dinner?"

"Young Master Cheng is injured, how can you still be in the mood to eat?" The servant shook his head and whispered, afraid that the two young masters in the living room would hear this matter again.

"Shou... Injured? What's going on?" No wonder Xihe and Zimo were so panicked. It turned out that something happened in the city.

The servant shook his head, expressing that he didn't know the details.In other words, this kind of thing was not brought up by them as servants.The servant took care of his own affairs, so An Keer had to go back to the living room to find out what happened to Xihe and the others.

"What happened to the city?" She stood in front of the two boys and asked cautiously.

Zimo glanced at Anker, took out another piece of chocolate from his pocket, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into his mouth—this was already the tenth piece of chocolate he had eaten after the accident in the city. It plays a big role in this matter.

"You don't care about our affairs, go to sleep." Xihe's anger was uncontrollable, An Keer just hit the gun, and he yelled at her angrily.

An Ke'er pursed her lips slowly, knowing that she was making fun of herself, she didn't ask any more questions. She went upstairs, and in the corridor, she saw Butler Dai and a man who looked like a doctor coming out of the room in the city. Butler Dai confessed something, but Butler Dai nodded solemnly and frequently.

After Steward Dai sent the man into the elevator, he nodded politely to An Keer who was watching him, and then went back to Cheng's room.

Worried about the city, An Keer couldn't go back to the room to sleep as if nothing had happened. She walked outside the door of the city and leaned against the wall to wait until Butler Dai came out with a tray containing blood-stained gauze and cotton balls. In the room, she stepped forward to ask about the situation in the city.

Butler Dai hadn't had time to respond to An Ke'er when the city inside heard the commotion outside.

"Ke'er?" he asked weakly.

"En." An Keer responded, took two steps forward, and walked outside the door. Cheng, with his right arm wrapped in a bandage, was leaning on the bed, smiling at her fragilely. "Can I go in?" She tugged at the corner of her clothes with one hand and asked softly.

Cheng nodded.

An Keer walked into the room and came to the bed. She looked at Cheng's injured right arm, and asked with concern, "Is the injury serious? Does it hurt?"

"Compared to this broken leg, this injury is a piece of cake." Cheng Zuo touched his left leg with his hand, and said lightly.

"How did you do it?" An Keer heard at dinner that night that Cheng was in a wheelchair because of someone named Haoxuan. It seemed that Cheng hadn't fully recovered after a long time.But now, his hand was injured again, which undoubtedly made his already crippled body even worse.

"I really don't want to mention the person who caused me to be like this now." The mayor sighed, and turned his face out of the window. The black night sky was twinkling with stars. How could such a charming night allow such unpleasant things to happen?

Maybe a certain aspect of strength makes Cheng look very strong, but under such a seemingly strong protective layer, he is so fragile.The city is an angel who has fallen into the mortal world, beautiful and refined, yet extremely fragile.

An Keer wanted to find some comforting words to say to the man in front of her, but Cheng didn't give her the chance to say so.

"That," Shiro pointed to the crystal table opposite the bed with his chin, on which was a file bag, "That's the admission information for Diying High School, you'll have to report next Monday, you can't miss the entrance exam just because you got into trouble, just leave it like this My whole future is also involved."

"Do I have to repeat my studies here?" An Keer wanted to go back to her parents and study in her familiar environment.

"Yes, it's right here. I also suggest that you take Diying University as your first choice. I also said that you can't leave here until you pay off your debts." Cheng raised his hand and rubbed his swollen temples. It's because he couldn't sleep well, and the busy affairs made him worry, and the family affairs made him feel extremely bad.He wanted to talk to Anker like a gentleman as much as possible, but he was a little absent-minded.

An Ke'er could also see how troubled Cheng Cheng was, and with the pain on his body, he definitely wanted to be alone at this moment.If it wasn't for school, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to come into this room at this time.

"About this matter, we have talked about it before." Cheng raised his head and looked at the girl standing by the bed, "Aren't you repenting?"

"No, of course I will do what I say." An Keer shook her head, "I just listen to you."

"If there is no objection, you can go to rest, I am also tired." Cheng sent her.

"Then, good night!" An Keer had nothing to say, she went to the crystal table and picked up the file bag and was about to leave, but she thought of something and turned around again, "I have something for you, don't mind me Come back in a few minutes?"

An Ke'er had an expectant expression, not wanting to disappoint her, so she nodded.

Anke went back to her room and took the 'dream catcher' that she had woven before and sent it to the city.

"What is this?" Cheng raised the beautiful 'dream catcher' into the air, the beads embedded on it reflected the dazzling light under the light, and the four white feathers swayed gently in the night wind, as if they were silently singing. Telling something.

"Dreamcatcher!"

"'Dream Catcher'? Why did you send me this?"

"You don't sleep well and you keep having nightmares. Hanging this dream catcher by the window or over your bed should help."

“How come you see?”

"Dream catcher originated in the 18th century. Indians used it to capture beautiful dreams and make nightmares disappear with the morning sun. They believed that the air at night was full of all kinds of dreams, and only dream catchers could filter dreams. Bring them into a beautiful dreamland." Anker pointed to the center of the net, "See this round hole? Only good dreams can pass through this hole and flow down the feathers, while nightmares will be trapped in the net, And with the sun of the next day, it vanished without a trace. It will bring you good luck, really!"

An Keer said to Cheng with certainty, an imperceptible tenderness flashed across the eyes of Cheng staring at her.

"May I hang it on the window for you?" An Keer saw the city and said nothing. When he accepted the gift, she took the 'Dream Catcher' to the window, tiptoed to hang it on a high place, and rushed to the window. Cheng smiled brightly, said good night and went back to his room.

After An Keer left, Cheng stared at the string of "dream catchers" hanging in front of the window for a long time. The sincerity of An Keer's words touched a certain string deep in his heart.
