4391 The Other Side 360
“Let’s not talk about that man for now.” Gong Fan continued, “In this world, other than that man, there seem to be other personalities. We spent a lot of effort dealing with that young man. Facing him, I felt that we didn’t have the strength to fight back at all. Alright, let’s not talk about these two people for now. On the other hand, if you were to encounter a kind personality like Shanshan, would you… be able to do it?”
Youyou fell silent again. He had no way to be sure. If it had been someone with Shanshan’s personality, he would be able to do it.
“So … what do we do?” Youyou suddenly felt lost.
Gong Fan laughed and shook his head, saying helplessly, “I don’t know either. We can only take it one step at a time. Youyou, we don’t know how many personalities there are in this world. There might be more. However, we can’t even defeat that man alone.”
The boy muttered to himself, “If only Little Yichen were here.”
“Haha! At this point, you finally think Little Yichen is good?”
“Little Yichen is very powerful. I’m sure that he can defeat even such a strong man in just a few moves.”
“Unfortunately, Little Yichen is your brother, not your personality.”
Despite himself, Youyou bowed his head in disappointment.
“Let’s rest for a while. We’ll make plans when day breaks.” Gong Fan lay down beside him.
Through the mottled shadows of the trees, he could see tiny stars flickering in the blurry night.
He raised his hand and pointed to the sky. “Look,” he said to the boy with a smile, “that star is especially small, but especially bright.”
“Although it looks very small to the naked eye, it might be a very large planet.”
“Uh huh. Just that it’s a long way from us.”
“I didn’t expect to see such a beautiful night in a dream like this.”
The boy sighed. “Honestly, the scenery here is great. Too bad there don’t seem to be any islands as beautiful as this in real life.”
When Gong Fan heard this, he suddenly said, “If that’s the case, we can travel the world in our dreams.”
The two little ones clung to each other and began to make small talk.
“I have to invent a Dream Maker.”
“What’s a Dream Maker?”
“If possible, I’d want the Dream Maker to be a pillow that affects brain waves. When people sleep on it, they can have countless dreams as beautiful as they can imagine. They can also see the sights all over the world.”
“That’s a good idea, but with current scientific methods, it doesn’t seem possible.”
Youyou said, “That will have to wait until I’m older. Maybe when I’m older I’ll actually invent a dream-making machine?”
Gong Fan smiled and patted his head. “Why would you waste your intelligence on such a thing?”
“Why not? It’s not like it’s crooked or anything. Wouldn’t it be nice to invent something wonderful? A lot of people don’t like nightmares these days. If there were such a pillow, there would be no more nightmares.”
“A pillow like that would be expensive!”
Youyou reacted abruptly. “Why are we having a conversation about something so pointless?”
“You’re asking me? You were the one who started the conversation.”
Youyou sat up and looked around. “Why don’t we explore this place?” he suggested. “We might find something new.”
Gong Fan nodded. “Alright, not a bad idea.”
The two kids got onto their feet.
