Although I didn't know who this fat man was, but from the tone of his voice and the obscene look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yingxue, I knew that he must not be a positive character, and my disgust was instantly aroused.
Of course, Lin Yingxue was also aroused to have negative emotions. Originally, Lin Yingxue was talking to the old man with a smile, but after hearing the fat man's voice, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and her eyes became cold. She picked up the tea on the table and started drinking it sip by sip, completely ignoring the fat man's intentions.
The old man shook his head helplessly, not knowing what he meant. However, the fat man seemed to be impatient and ran to the sofa in two or three steps, wanting to sit next to Lin Yingxue. But when he came to the sofa, he found that it was me sitting next to Lin Yingxue. His face suddenly became long, and he looked me up and down and asked disdainfully: "Who are you?"
After all, this is someone else's territory. Even though I was very upset at the moment, I didn't get angry. I just turned my head away and ignored the fat man. Seeing that I didn't say anything, the fat man seemed to think that I was afraid of him, so he raised his voice and asked again: "Can't you hear me talking to you? Who are you?"
"He's my boyfriend, could you please be respectful when you speak to him?"
Just when I couldn't bear it anymore, Lin Yingxue next to me suddenly spoke. Although I was secretly a little happy when she said that, but judging from her expression, she must have said that on purpose, because at this moment she was avoiding the fat man in front of her.
The things that can make Lin Yingxue avoid are either some unsightly things or people, or people that Lin Yingxue doesn't want to pay attention to at all, because I have never found anyone who can scare Lin Yingxue. It is obvious that Lin Yingxue just doesn't want to pay attention to this fat man, so she said this deliberately, making me wonder whether she is using me as a shield or speaking from the heart.
Anyway, with Lin Yingxue's explanation, I don't have to argue with this fat man, and the old man who had not spoken said with some blame: "Shen Zhao, don't be rude. This friend is our honored guest, and he is a member of the special case team like Xiaoxue."
After hearing the old man's introduction, the fat man named Shen Zhao said with disdain: "I was wondering why I had never seen him before. I usually rarely pay attention to such low-level police officers. Xiaoxue, don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about you. A few years have passed. You are really getting more and more beautiful. I recently bought a new Ferrari. How about I take you out for a ride later?"
I finally understood why Lin Yingxue was unwilling to pay attention to this fat man. This fat man was not only arrogant, but also liked to show off. It would be strange for Lin Yingxue to fall in love with him with her personality. But at this moment, I actually felt relieved, as if just now, I subconsciously regarded this fat man as my competitor.
"Why has Xiaoxue lost weight recently? Is being a police officer hard?"
The somewhat plump woman who came with the fat man Shen Zhao came to Lin Yingxue very kindly and said with a smile, and Lin Yingxue did not dislike this woman, and immediately smiled and said: "Hello, senior sister, being a police officer is not very tiring, maybe I haven't eaten well recently."
Since Lin Yingxue called this woman "senior sister", it goes without saying that the fat man next to her must be the old man's student. Seeing that Lin Yingxue and the senior sister were chatting happily, the fat man immediately wanted to invite Lin Yingxue out to play again. The old man next to him finally got a little angry and said with a bad look: "Okay, you two should do whatever you need to do. I have something to discuss with Ji Wen here. Don't disturb us anymore."
Both of them were obviously very afraid of the old man. They immediately stopped chatting, said goodbye to the old man and Lin Yingxue, turned around and left. The fat man sneered at me provocatively when he left, but I didn't take it to heart. I didn't take this kind of clown seriously at all.
After the two people left, the old man sighed and said to me: "Ji Wen, don't mind it. Shen Zhao has been spoiled by me since he was a child. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
I smiled and said, "It's okay. I've seen a lot of people like this. I just don't want to argue with him. But teacher, it seems that this fat guy Shen Zhao is very rich. Is he also a scholar like you?"
The old man nodded and said, "To be precise, he is now a brain research expert at a foreign medical institution. He has superb craniotomy skills and often performs surgery and treatment on some wealthy foreigners. The reason why he chose this path was that he was somewhat influenced by me."
I didn’t know the old man’s name yet, so I’ll just call him teacher for now. After the teacher finished speaking, he explained to me his life and, what I wanted to know most, Lin Yingxue’s past.
This teacher has been devoted to studying dreams and the brain since he was young, even to the point of obsession. As a result, even at his old age now, he has never married and has dedicated his entire life to scientific research.
When the teacher reached middle age and was approaching old age, he had become a very famous expert. He had published several books on dreams and the brain and had won many awards at home and abroad. However, after achieving what he wanted, the teacher realized his lack of family emotions. He wanted to find someone to fall in love with and get married, but he was no longer able to do so. Finally, the teacher decided to adopt a few children and raise them as his own.
So in the next few years, the teacher adopted four children from welfare homes and homeless people, including the two I met before, Lin Yingxue, and a younger brother who was a few years younger than Lin Yingxue.
After adopting these children, the teacher was very pleased and treated them as his own children. He provided these children with the best standards he could, both materially and spiritually. Gradually, these children began to regard the teacher as their relative and their personalities gradually became cheerful. Only Lin Yingxue had been withdrawn and indifferent since childhood.
Later, these children worked hard and did not disappoint their teacher. Among them, Shen Zhao was admitted to a famous medical university abroad. After graduation, he became a well-known brain doctor. The woman just now also obtained a doctorate in brain research and now works in a research institute. As for the youngest brother, he is still studying abroad and his grades are also very good.
The only person who was introverted was Lin Yingxue. She was unwilling to learn theoretical knowledge from the teacher since she was a child. The teacher did not make things difficult for her, but let her do things according to her own ideas. So in the end Lin Yingxue became a policeman. Although she was recommended by the teacher and Bai Qi, Lin Yingxue's performance never disappointed Bai Qi.
After listening to the teacher's description of Lin Yingxue's past, it was actually similar to what I imagined. A child coming out of a broken family will have some shadows in his heart, and these shadows are also the root of Lin Yingxue's character. At this moment, I just felt more sympathy and pity for Lin Yingxue.
"Although Xiaoxue is not the most promising of my children, she is the most filial one, unlike those ungrateful ones."
When the teacher said this, he suddenly seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, don't you want to ask me some questions? Tell me your questions, and I'll try to help you answer them."
The teacher changed the subject naturally, but I was very concerned about what he didn't finish. Since he called the other children ungrateful, there must be some reason. Since he was unwilling to say it, I would ask Lin Yingxue about this matter later.
"Teacher, this is what happened. Not long ago, I had a strange dream. When I told Xiaoxue about the dream, Xiaoxue explained to me a lot of theories about your dream research. I was very interested, so I wanted to ask you for advice. And yesterday I had an even stranger dream. I wonder if this dream has any meaning?"
As I said this, I told the teacher in front of me without reservation about the strange dream I had last night in Kaimen Village, as well as everything I dreamed about yesterday. Since Lin Yingxue loves someone so much, I don't think there should be any problem.
When I was describing what happened, the teacher listened very carefully the whole time. After I finished telling her everything, the teacher nodded and said, "Xiaoxue was right at that time, but she didn't explain it very comprehensively. In fact, you should know that humans have only developed less than 10% of their brains, and there is still a lot of space in the brain that has not been used. However, not being used does not mean that the remaining 90% of the brain is not functioning and thinking. It's just that we humans cannot fully absorb and accept the effects of the entire brain's operation. So there are some things that our brains have already calculated but cannot express. At this time, the brain will use another way to transmit information, and that is dreams!"
"As the saying goes, you dream at night what you think about during the day. This is absolutely true, but if we can fully interpret what is shown in the 'dreams at night', then we can truly make perfect use of our brains!"
As he spoke, the teacher stared at my eyes with a serious look and said, "As you said, that night you dreamed that you finally went to the construction team. Apart from other weird plots in the dream, this alone can explain that when you were investigating clues during the day, your brain had already analyzed that the case was related to the construction team, so in the dream, you appeared near the construction team. If you could fully analyze this at the time, wouldn't everything become twice as easy with half the effort?"
"Of course, let's not talk about the past for now. Now let's talk about the meaning of your dream last night. Although it is just my personal guess, I think your dream last night should not be underestimated."
