When Qiuyue opened her eyes, they were misty and her whole body seemed a little dull. She looked slowly at the surrounding environment, feeling that it looked familiar yet strange, as if she had been here before and yet not.

She blinked her eyes and tried to walk forward slowly, but the lack of the proper ground contact froze her. She tilted her head, then walked forward a distance again. After a careful feel, she realized she felt light and airy, as if she were flying. She belatedly said, "Oh, I'm dreaming."

Knowing that she was dreaming, Qiuyue ran around freely and looked around.

No wonder she felt familiar with it, because this place was near Xiao Chenpi's old home.

Qiuyue muttered, "Well, here, there are small tangerine peels."

She headed towards Chenpi's home, but before she had even walked for a moment, she saw a thin figure in a dead end alley. However, what puzzled her was that the figure was even smaller than she had imagined, and he was not standing, but lying on the ground motionless.

Qiuyue flew over and took a look. It was indeed Xiao Chenpi, but he looked younger and not in good condition. His face was abnormally red, he was breathing with difficulty with his mouth open, his face showed pain, beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down, and he looked like he was about to die.

Qiuyue, who had been slow to react, was suddenly awakened by the fright. She quickly hugged him in her arms and touched his face. It was indeed incredibly hot, which frightened her so much that her heart skipped a beat.

She immediately started healing, outputting at maximum power, as if she was going to snatch the life from the King of Hell. Within a few breaths, the dying Xiao Chenpi recovered and opened his eyes.

Qiuyue was relieved to see him wake up. She reached out and pinched his face and said, "Oh, whose child is this? Why is he here alone? He's sick and doesn't even go to the doctor?"

Qiuyue deliberately spoke in a funny tone. She was really scared just now. Although she knew that this was a dream, she really couldn't bear it when she saw Xiao Chenpi was so sick that he almost died. What's more, he looked a few years younger than she remembered. How could she not feel distressed?

Little Chenpi looked at her blankly, and suddenly said, "Are you here to eat my ghost?"

Qiuyue glared at him and squeezed his face twice more: "How can you talk like that? If I hadn't saved you just now, you would have burned yourself to death."

Xiao Chenpi suddenly began to struggle, and Qiuyue was not paying attention and was actually freed by him: "Hey?"

As soon as Xiao Chenpi landed on the ground, she scurried away almost like a nimble little mouse, and in the blink of an eye she ran back to her home, pushing the door open and closing it in one go, as if she were some man-eating monster, leaving Qiuyue stunned.

She subconsciously touched her face and muttered, "Am I some hideous monster in this dream?"

Qiuyue pursed her lips, then suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up.

If this is her dream, then can she control her dreams and get whatever she wants?

They say practice makes perfect. Qiuyue immediately closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and whispered, "I want to appear in front of Xiao Chenpi!"

Unfortunately, when she opened her eyes, she was still in the same place. Qiuyue scratched her head. It seemed that she had no control over this dream. She could only float away slowly on her own.

She took a look at Xiao Chenpi's house and laughed.

Xiao Chenpi remembered to close the door, but didn't remember to close the window.

She floated directly into the house through the window. The house was still so small and dilapidated, with few furniture. Little Chenpi was no longer there. It seemed that he was talking to his grandmother inside.

Qiuyue listened for a while. In fact, it was Chenpi's grandmother who asked him where he had been and why he was running around with a fever. Chenpi responded to her from time to time, but he just didn't say where he had been or who he met.

After listening for a while, Qiuyue saw Xiao Chenpi and an old lady coming out from the inner room. The old lady looked pale and old, and coughed lightly from time to time, as if she was sick. Xiao Chenpi helped her out slowly.

The moment Xiao Chenpi saw Qiuyue, a frightened expression appeared on his face, and then he turned to look at his grandmother, but he was even more panicked to find that his grandmother seemed unable to see Qiuyue.

Qiuyue looked at him with a smile, raised her hand and waved at him, and then saw that Xiao Chenpi's originally messy hair seemed to explode in an instant, just like a frightened kitten.

Qiuyue's mouth twitched, and she touched her face again in self-doubt.

Is she really that scary?

Little Chenpi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her again, which made Qiuyue very angry. However, Qiuyue quickly calmed down and turned to look at his grandmother next to him.

Since it was just a dream, Qiuyue didn't think about hiding anything. She just reached out and grabbed the old lady's arm and used healing on her.

Chenpi's grandmother screamed, and little Chenpi raised his head instantly. When he saw Qiuyue grabbing his grandmother's arm, he could no longer remain calm. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he rushed towards Qiuyue while yelling, "You little ghost, don't hurt my grandmother, let go! Come at me if you want anything!"

It was the first time Qiuyue had been treated so harshly by someone, and it was actually Xiao Chenpi. She was speechless and amused. She stretched out her hand to block his little head while increasing the output of healing energy. Chenpi's grandmother was at a loss and panicked, saying, "Xiaopi, who are you talking to?!"

"Grandma, are you okay? Let me go!"

Tears welled up in Chenpi's eyes as he waved his short arms at Qiuyue. Qiuyue found this scene adorable and funny, while Chenpi's grandmother quickly called out to him, "Xiaopi, Xiaopi, stop messing around. Did you see Xian'er? Come on, kneel down with grandma to Xian'er!"

Chenpi's eyes widened immediately and he turned to look at his grandmother, not understanding why she said that. However, when he saw clearly what his grandmother looked like now, he was stunned.

The grandmother who was originally old and sickly now looked full of energy, with a rosy complexion and bright eyes. Even her gray hair seemed to have a luster. Her waist which had been bent for many years had become straight. She looked shocked and excited. She reached out and grabbed Chenpi and was about to kneel down in front of the invisible figure. Chenpi was dumbfounded after seeing that his grandmother had completely changed. He was pulled to kneel down in a daze.

Qiuyue didn't cure Chenpi's grandmother just to make her kneel down. She stretched out her hand to stop her from kneeling, turned her head to look at little Chenpi, and said with a smile: "Hey, little Chenpi, now you believe that I'm not a monster, right?"

Xiao Chenpi suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the graceful figure, but found that her figure gradually turned into a little bit of fluorescent light and disappeared. He looked at her blankly, but Qiuyue was unaware of it.

Qiuyue felt as if her eyes flashed before her eyes and she found herself standing in front of Xiao Chenpi's house. She scratched her head and looked confused.

This is strange. Wasn't she in the house just now? Why did she come out?

However, although she was confused, Qiuyue didn't think too much about it. After all, dreams are so changeable, aren't they?

She looked up at the sky. It was already evening, while it was broad daylight just now.

Chenpi's door was still closed, so she walked in through the window as usual. As soon as she entered, she saw little Chenpi. However, to her surprise, little Chenpi seemed to have grown a little and looked about five years old.

It turned out that the dream brought her to almost a year later, she thought.

Chenpi's grandmother was cooking, while little Chenpi was sitting on a small stool picking vegetables. It seemed that there were a lot of new furniture and things in the house. It seemed that their lives had improved a little in recent years.

But it's normal. Qiuyue cured Grandma Chenpi's illness. Although she can't be said to have become as energetic as a young person, she still has the physique of a middle-aged person. With a healthy body, Grandma Chenpi just needs to find some work to do, and they can naturally live better than before.

This dream is quite realistic.

Qiuyue sighed, then fluttered to Xiao Chenpi's side, put her hands behind her back, bent down and tilted her head to look at him: "Hey, Xiao Chenpi, are you picking vegetables?"

Xiao Chenpi, who was originally carefully selecting vegetables, suddenly froze in his hands. He raised his head suddenly and saw the familiar figure. He opened his mouth but could not speak. Qiuyue raised her hand and rubbed his head, saying, "You are still too thin. Eat more and gain weight. You need to grow taller and stronger."

Little Chenpi pursed his lips, lowered his head and let her rub his head, but his eyes were a little moist.

Qiuyue didn't notice anything unusual about him. She just rubbed his head and stopped bothering him. She sat down on the chair next to him and looked at him with a chuckle: "Pick your vegetables well. Your grandma is still waiting for your dishes~"

Xiao Chenpi then lowered his head and continued to pick vegetables silently. From an angle that Qiuyue couldn't see, his eyes were already red.

He picked the ingredients very quickly, and Grandma Chenpi also prepared the meal quickly. What was rare was that there was a small plate of meat on the table. This would never have appeared in Chenpi's home a few years ago.

During the meal, Xiao Chenpi actually poured an extra bowl of rice soup and placed it in front of Qiuyue, while the rice soup in her own bowl was pitifully small. When Grandma Chenpi saw this, her eyes widened and she said in a trembling voice, "Xiaopi, Xian'er is here again?"

Qiuyue held her forehead and sighed, then stretched out her delicate fingers and poked his forehead: "I don't need to eat, you eat, and don't let your grandma know I'm here, be good."

Little Chenpi was stunned for a moment after being poked on the head, then he reached out and brought the bowl of rice soup back, saying to his grandmother, "Grandma, no, I was just thinking about something and made an extra bowl."

Hearing Xiao Chenpi say no, grandma sighed with regret, looked at Xiao Chenpi seriously and said, "If you see Xian'er again, you must tell me. I will go buy tribute and offer it to thank Xian'er for her gift a year ago, understand?"

Little Chenpi nodded, and then grandma smiled lovingly and said, "Okay, let's eat."

Qiuyue didn't watch them eat, but turned around curiously, and Xiao Chenpi's eyes followed her.

When Qiuyue came back, they had already lit the kerosene lamp and put away the dishes. Little Chenpi wanted to wash the dishes, but his grandmother sent him aside and wouldn't let him. Little Chenpi scratched his head and could only walk away obediently.

Qiuyue floated over and rubbed his head: "Be good, little Chenpi."

Little Chenpi let her rub his head, turned around to look at his grandmother, then suddenly grabbed Qiuyue's hand and ran to the back of the house. Qiuyue was suddenly pulled over by him and said, "Huh? What's going on?"

Xiao Chenpi didn't say anything. He pulled Qiuyue to the backyard and closed the door. Although it was late at night, the moon was very bright, so it was very clear to see outside.

As soon as she got here, Qiuyue looked at him in confusion. Chenpi turned around and knelt down in front of her, even trying to kowtow to her. Qiuyue's eyes widened immediately, and she quickly reached out to grab his arm and pulled him up: "What are you doing? Get up now."

Little Chenpi stubbornly refused to get up. He looked at her with red eyes and a choked voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please hit me."

Seeing his tears welling up, Qiuyue's heart suddenly ached. She reached out and lifted him up so that he wouldn't kneel. Xiao Chenpi was stunned for a moment.

Qiuyue touched his head, leaned over slightly to look at him, and coaxed him, "Don't cry, don't cry, little Chenpi, be good. You don't have to apologize to me. Why should you apologize to me?"
