Legend of Dream God in a Little Dream

"Angry? Why should I be angry? He gave a new definition to these dolls. Maybe in a while, he will appear again like you and pick out a doll he likes," said the shopkeeper, stroking the doll in his hand.

"Then, shall I wait with you? After all, I also want to see which child is so naughty~" Zengjun looked at the shop owner and asked.

"Not necessarily, because I will close this place in a few days. Childish as I am, I think it's time to end it," the shop owner said to Zengjun.

Zengjun saw the messy dolls on the four rows of shelves and understood immediately: how could a child get such a high doll? The store owner must have knocked it over.

Then I just think of myself as that child, which is a bit stupid, but understandable, after all, people have to be realistic.

"So, these four rows of mess don't look like the work of a child, so he is the child he mentioned, right?" Zengjun looked at the shop owner and asked himself.

"Well, do you think that kid will appear again before you close the store?" Zengjun asked the store owner.

"Well~" the shopkeeper thought about it seriously, "Yes, after all, he will grow up slowly, but his childishness will not. However, he may not like dolls by then."

"Well, I believe it too. After all, apart from this, there's nothing I can do to help you." Zengjun put down the rag doll in his hand and looked at the shopkeeper next to him and said.

"Oh, by the way, I came here just for a rag doll, because I think there will be a child who needs it," Zengjun said, looking at the shop owner.

Originally, Zengjun came here to buy a doll for Weiwei, but it seemed like he came at an inopportune time.

"No need, just take whatever you like, there's nothing valuable here," said the shopkeeper worriedly.

Like a feeling of being unappreciated.

"Don't think like that. Before this place came, I was a customer. When this place is gone, I am still one of the customers here." Zengjun was carefully selecting the doll.

"Even though you say so, the ending here is predetermined," the shopkeeper said gloomily.

"What ending is destined? Maybe I know something?" Zengjun looked at the rag doll on the shelf and said seriously.

"This store is destined to close, but it doesn't matter, just like I am destined to lose something," the shop owner said in a low voice.

“Hey, hey, hey, you don’t need to be so negative, right? There should be a lot of things here that can arouse your interest, such as... um... for example..." Zengjun said, but he didn’t know what to say for a moment, like a lying child.

This lie is not told often.

"Look, you know you are lying. There is nothing to comfort. I don't need it. My heart is very strong. There are a lot of miscellaneous things piled up there, but so what? I am still alive." Then the shopkeeper lowered his head and said, "Living hypocritically."

"It's the world that's wrong. It has nothing to do with you. Aren't you a victim like me?" Zengjun said, stopping in front of the two dolls.

"Same as you, where?" the shopkeeper asked in confusion. He also wanted to know the so-called answer, or what kind of person said that he was the same as him.

"It's still negative, does it count? But I always remind myself that there's nothing to be negative about, as long as I'm alive." Zengjun picked up a rag doll with his right hand.

It's a brown bear doll.

"You know what? I once met a man who was very stubborn and insisted on achieving his so-called goal. However, for the so-called reputation, he eventually sacrificed his life for it," said Zengjun, picking up another little bear in his left hand.

The little bear on the left hand is orange, just like the two bears in a cartoon, and they have a common human friend.

"Hehe, then he is really stupid. It is really stupid to sacrifice his life for some illusory things," said the shopkeeper, looking at the two bears in Zengjun's hands.

"Yes, it was stupid, but in the end, he succeeded. He proved himself, but also ruined himself," Zengjun said, glancing at the shop owner.

"He succeeded? But died after his success? Then what was the meaning of his success?" The shopkeeper asked Zengjun in confusion.

"I don't know, so I am also confused. He clearly achieved the success defined by others, so why did he die in the end? It's very strange, but he really exists. I have seen him," said Zengjun.

What Zengjun was talking about was the Star in the dream, but it also seemed like he was talking about a person who forced his own child to death.

"It really exists and you have seen it. So, does this matter have anything to do with you?" asked the shop owner puzzledly.

"Well, how should I put it?" Zeng Jun pondered for a while, "Yes, after all, I am also a victim"

(Note: I hope you don’t understand)

"Are you a victim too?" The shop owner was even more confused. After all, these things were completely unrelated, yet they were related.

Just like sheep are part of the cattle family, they seem to have nothing in common, yet they are inexplicably related.

Zeng Jun sighed and said, "I guess so, but it doesn't matter now."

"That's right, just like me, the past is not important anymore," the shop owner echoed.

"Yes, it doesn't matter anymore. The past is the past, just like that girl in the past, and the me that I liked is also the me in the past," Zengjun said to himself.

“Yes, I often dream about it, until she said in my dream: That was all in the past.” The shopkeeper laughed to himself, like a timid coward.

"Hahaha, she's right, that was all in the past." Zengjun handed the brown teddy bear in his right hand to the store owner, "But I don't live in the past. But now I choose to make an exception, just like I promised her in my dream that I also like her."

The shopkeeper took the brown bear doll in the right hand of Zongjun and said, "Come on, you will succeed."

Zengjun took out three banknotes from his right belt and put them on the shelf, then turned and walked out of the store, holding the orange teddy bear in his left hand.

The shopkeeper looked at Zengjun and said, "You will succeed, but I won't. However, I wish you and me good luck."

Many things in life cannot be asked for, and it seems that the only thing we can do is to change ourselves. This is what the gift and the store owner meant.

"But I really remember that she kept saying that she loved me..." The shopkeeper looked at Zengjun who was walking away, and he kept muttering to himself in his heart.

Then he sat back in the chair he had sat in before. The shelves were littered with dolls. Just as the owner had said, there would be no more customers here.

But after a while, the shop owner went back to arrange the dolls, just in case a customer came in.

And she is always her own biggest helper. The one she likes is the former store, which only shares the same name and the same body with the current store...
