In my childhood, I have incomplete memories. Many people can still remember vague fragments of their childhood in kindergarten, but I don’t have any. It’s like I was born in elementary school and never experienced the time from one to seven years old.

.

I slept in my stepfather and mother's house, in an extremely luxurious room, but I had a restless night. Nightmares and dreams troubled me time and time again. I always woke up from my dreams countless times, and then I stood up straight like a zombie.

He was lying on the bed, unable to move.

So after I woke up completely, I forgot everything.

But this time, I remember it particularly clearly.

From the perspective of my childhood, the frequent heavy rains happened when I was in kindergarten. At that time, I had not yet moved to live in the blue-tiled building where I heard the sound, and my hometown had a large courtyard.

Maybe it’s because my mother likes flowers, but the family’s economy is also in recession, so she has always taken care of me alone. At that time, my mother would plant orchids in a row near the eaves in the yard, most of which were relatively cheap. But

Some of them were particularly expensive, as if they were sent by others. The price of some of them was equivalent to two months' salary of an ordinary family in that era.

Every time there was a heavy rain, my mother would always wear a red raincoat, stand in the heavy rain, and neatly tear off the plastic film to cover the bluegrass.

In the heavy rain, my mother's expression is always heavy and silent, like the mountains in the distance washed away and blurred by the rain.

However, on this rainy night, my mother woke up in the middle of the night and walked to the yard. Under the extremely dazzling light of lightning, she saw a thief escaping over the wall, and a few expensive orchid plants under the eaves were uprooted.

I hid in the dark room, watching the lightning and thunder outside, and looking at my mother's back.

She stood in the heavy rain for a long time, silent and did not speak. Finally, amidst the roar of thunder, she let out a vague and muddy sigh.

It sounds like a whimper.

I felt like my whole body was twisting and struggling with something. Something like a rope was tightly binding me, and the pain of being bound made me suddenly open my eyes.

It’s like the last two days again!

I lay on the bed unable to move, just staring at the ceiling.

The feeling of nightmare is very bad. I am awake, but I can't make a sound or move my limbs. It's like my soul is attached to an empty body. I opened my eyes wide and looked up. I felt really sleepy.

But I couldn't sleep no matter what.

I was so sleepy that I finally fell into a deep sleep...

But while I was half asleep, I seemed to hear the sound of someone moving around in my room, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets...

I thought quickly in my mind. The doors and windows were closed. No one living in this area would bother to be a thief. I opened my eyes and saw a child who looked very similar to me...

…

"Oh my God, look at the dark circles under your eyes. Did you stay up late again last night?" I walked down the stairs and my mother screamed when she saw me. I frowned and looked up.

Suddenly, she found that she was holding a pot of orchids that she had dreamed about last night.

I suddenly felt someone pinched a corner of my heart, and I was startled. I missed my footing and fell down the stairs.

"Hey! Be careful!" the stepfather shouted loudly.

But I fell heavily to the floor on the first floor. Fortunately, it was the floor and I landed on my butt, otherwise I would have definitely suffered a concussion.

My mother quickly put down the orchid in her hand and ran over to help me up. At this time, Wen Jichen came down from upstairs and looked at me who was still sitting on the ground: "Why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning?"

As he said that, he helped his mother pull him up from the ground.

My butt hurt so much that I didn't dare to move while sitting on the sofa. I just looked at the orchid and was in shock.

"Mom, did you also raise orchids when I was a child?" I asked looking at my mother who was wearing casual clothes.

My mother poured me a glass of milk and handed it to me and said, "Yeah, you actually remember something that happened so long ago? That's good enough!" She smiled easily and lightly flicked the exquisite plant with her slender fingers.

The elegant Clivia.

I frowned. The thick dark circles and bags under my eyes made me look like a hungry zombie. Because I couldn’t sleep well at night, my face became paler. I thought about what I had experienced last night and what I had heard.

The strange sound made my heart still beat wildly.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Mom sat next to me and hugged my shoulders.

What I didn't notice was Wen Jichen's strange expression when he saw me.

"I've been having nightmares every night for the past few nights, and ghosts are still haunting me. There can't be anything unclean in this house." Although I smiled and spoke, when I looked around the luxuriously decorated house, I felt extremely worried.

serious.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How did your stepfather and I sleep well? Maybe you just came to Hong Kong and are not used to it yet. I will sleep with you tonight!" Mom rubbed my hair and said with a smile.

Even though she said this, my frown still didn't loosen.

"Okay, come here for breakfast. After breakfast, your stepfather and I have to go to the company. You and your brother are at home and are taking care of the house, do you hear me?" Mom said as she went upstairs.

I looked at her figure and suddenly remembered that rainy night.

The solemn and silent gaze, the frail figure, the vague and muddy sobs.

When I think of this, I get a severe headache. The fear in my heart keeps increasing, but I have no choice. I don't know how to tell them about this.

I had no appetite, and Wen Jichen looked at me expressionlessly, as if he was blaming me for not having breakfast.

When I saw my mother this time, I felt that she had changed a lot from before.

After my stepfather and mother went out, I got up tiredly and wanted to go upstairs to catch up on my sleep. But Wen Jichen grabbed me and hugged me tightly in the huge kitchen.

"Doudou, tell me, what's wrong with you?" Wen Jichen finally had an expression on his face, which was similar to emotions such as pain and heart-wrenching.

"I'm afraid..." I nestled in his warm arms, my eyes were so sore, and I wanted to tell him that since I came to Hong Kong, my whole body has not been well.

"What are you afraid of?" Wen Jichen held up my face and asked me to look directly at him.

I looked at his gentle eyes, and gradually the fear in my heart became less deep. These days, I seem to be living in my own world. Ever since I left Lijiang and came to Hong Kong, I have not lived a peaceful day.

Sometimes I wonder if Hong Kong is not in line with my magnetic field.

The last time I came here, a girl kept making harassing phone calls to me and scolding me every time I opened my mouth.

But this time, endless fear and nightmares disturbed my mind. When I looked in the mirror, I really had the illusion that my life force was about to be drained out.
