Chapter 8: Finally dreamt about him again
Cheng JinXue was very confused himself.
He carefully recalled the dream he had last night. He was pretty
much certain that the person who appeared in his dream last
night was Zhuang Zhou.
He scratched his head: “I dreamt about our little friend saying a
lot of things to me…… I think he even asked me if I wanted to
become rich. After that, I think I told him, I don’t want to be rich,
I only want to find a wife hahaha. I can’t remember the details of
what happened after that. But I’m pretty sure it was Zhuang
Zhou, no doubt.”
Cheng JinXue didn’t think too much about it. A dream, you know.
Most of the time, people can only remember the general idea.
Wen XiaoYun asked: “He spoke to you in the galactic language?”
Cheng JinXue said dubiously: “That’s right. What else would it
be?”
Wen XiaoYun stopped talking.
When he dreamt of Zhuang Zhou, this little friend didn’t speak
the galactic language at all.
Cheng JinXue said jokingly: “Zhuang Zhou is really too good
looking. Just now, when I came to find you, I even bumped into
Zhang Feng’s little squad. I think I heard them say, Zhang Feng
also dreamt about Zhuang Zhou yesterday night. They were even
teasing Zhang Feng, saying he might have fallen for our little
friend at first sight!”
Wen XiaoYun: “.......”
Cheng JinXue: “Oh right, boss, didn’t you say before that you
dreamt about someone you just met continuously for several
nights? Was that also Zhuang Zhou?”
Wen XiaoYun said expressionlessly: “No.”
Cheng JinXue thought briefly: “Right right, how can everyone who
meets Zhuang Zhou all dream about him. He’d be something like
a magnet, making everyone fall for him at first sight!”
Wen XiaoYun, who had dreamt about Zhuang Zhou even before
meeting him in person: “........”
With a calm expression, he gave Cheng JinXue a sideways
glance: “What? Did you fall for him at first sight?”
Cheng JinXue shook his head repeatedly: “How can that be, boss.
I’m not the same as you. I like girls!
Huh, wait a second.
It seemed like the boss really did like men.
Then?
Cheng JinXue still wanted to say something, but Wen XiaoYun
calmly shifted the topic: “Where’s the battle report for the recent
fight against the Alien Insects?”
Cheng JinXue’s focus immediately shifted. He swiftly handed over
what he was holding and said seriously: “It’s here. The fallen
soldiers have already been reported clearly to the higher ups. As
soon as the compensation arrives, we can make arrangements to
disseminate it per usual. Our legion will add additional
compensation as well.”
Wen XiaoYun acknowledged with an ‘En”.
“Oh right, you know how you already reported to the higher ups
when we picked you up yesterday? The military headquarters
over there sent me a message bright and early this morning. The
authorities have announced the news of your survival. However,
because the people haven’t seen you, no one believed this news.
Therefore, the higher ups want you to make an appearance
before we return to port.”
Wen XiaoYun had no objections: “Very well. You can make the
arrangements accordingly.”
The people in the 3rd legion had just experienced numerous
warps in a short amount of days. Their bodies were still not
accustomed.
Because of this, after picking up Wen XiaoYun, the battleship
Wyvern didn’t leave directly. Instead, they planned to rest in the
same spot for a few days.
Rest period was the perfect time to explore the extent of
radiation on this planet, as well as the existence of any natives.
Wen XiaoYun delegated this task to Cheng JinXue.
“I will definitely complete this mission!” Receiving the task, Cheng
JinXue got ready to make the arrangements immediately.
“Wait.” Wen XiaoYun called him to a halt.
Cheng JinXue asked: “Boss, do you have any other instructions?”
Wen XiaoYun said: “Where is Zhang Feng?”
Cheng JinXue said: “I don’t know. Probably in the training room?”
Wen XiaoYun acknowledged with an ‘en’: “Tell him to come find
me.”
After Cheng JinXue left, Wen XiaoYun opened the ship’s
surveillance monitor and discovered that the room next to his still
remained closed.
He looked at the time. It was still early. Zhuang Zhou should still
be sleeping.
Wen XiaoYun pressed his lips together, an incomprehensible look
in his deep, dark eyes.
After a short while, Zhang Feng arrived and saluted respectfully.
“Boss, Vice-Admiral Cheng said you wanted me?”
Wen XiaoYun looked at Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng was a tall, young man who had an open personality,
like the sunlight. His psychic power was S level. His physical
qualities and strength were both very strong. Wen XiaoYun had
made a special exception to accept him and place him as the
leader of an elite little squad.
Wen XiaoYun slowly said: “How did you sleep last night?”
Zhang Feng didn’t understand but still answered obediently:
“Answering boss, I slept very well.”
Wen XiaoYun said in a well paced manner: “Just now Vice-admiral
Cheng told me that after we return to the Capital, he plans to
request leave to attend marriage interviews. I took a glance. You
seem to be the right age as well. Do you want to request leave
also?”
Zhang Feng hastily said: “No no no. Boss, right now I only want
to focus on my career.”
“En.” Wen XiaoYun said in a flat tune: “If you have the intent,
you can mention it. The 3rd legion also manages the personal
affairs of its members. Vice-admiral Cheng said that you even
dreamt about someone you liked yesterday night. If you two are
really well suited, it’s easy to approve the wedding vacation now,
since the battles have ended.”
Hearing this, Zhang Feng’s face instantly turned red. Despite
being big and tall, he flushed like a young wife. Terrified that Wen
XiaoYun would really drive him back home to get married, Zhang
Feng hastily explained: “It wasn’t someone I liked! Vice-admiral
Cheng misunderstood! We dreamt about Mister Zhuang Zhou. Not
just me, Zhou HongYi and the others all dreamt about him……
Zhou HongYi was even talking in his dreams, mumbling and
crying at the same time!”
Wen XiaoYun had no expression on his face: “....... You all dreamt
about him?”
Zhang Feng said with a blush: “That seems about right. However,
it’s hard to say. Zhou HongYi and the other forgot after they
woke up so they’re not very certain. I also pretty much forgot
everything. I just, just remember that it was Mister Zhuang
Zhou……”
As for what exactly did he do in the dream and what did he say,
he really couldn’t remember anything at all.
“En.” Wen XiaoYun said calmly: “I’m very happy that in your
heart, you’re thinking about your career.”
Zhang Feng let out a breath of relief. The Admiral shouldn’t try to
send him back home to get married again right?
Wen XiaoYun said nonchalantly: “Why don’t you take some
people and explore the situation of this planet together with
Vice-admiral Cheng today.”
Zhang Feng received his orders: “Yes!”
Wen XiaoYun added nonchalantly: “Take everyone in your little
squad with you.”
Zhang Feng obediently exited the main control room and left the
rest area. When he passed Zhuang Zhou’s room, he stopped.
Subconsciously, he had an impulse. An impulse to knock open the
door and pay respect to Mr. Zhuang Zhou who was inside.
Zhang Feng felt a chill all over. Fck, why would he have this kind
of impulse. Did his dreams turn him stupid?!
Zhang Feng increased his pace and left swiftly.
Wen XiaoYun sat in his chair for a while and then opened the
monitor for another look.
After a moment, he got up directly and walked towards Zhuang
Zhou’s room.
Inside the room.
Zhuang Zhou was sleeping soundly inside his Divine Image.
Yesterday night, he bestowed a large scale dream and used up all
of his divine powers. Resting inside the Divine Image made him
recover a bit faster.
Xiao PoLan was earnestly and diligently worshipping the Divine
Image, devout and focused.
When Zhuang Zhou woke up, Xiao PoLan was still worshipping.
Zhuang Zhou can feel that the strength of Xiao PoLan’s faith
towards him has become even purer.
Such a pious believer. Zhuang Zhou even felt moved by Xiao
PoLan: “You’re the best after all.”
He complained quietly: “There’s so many people on this
spaceship. Yesterday night, I asked them if they wanted to
become rich, they all said no…… Why are intergalactic people so
strange? None of them want to become rich?”
The one that left the deepest impression on Zhuang Zhou was a
person who said he didn’t want to become rich. Zhuang Zhou had
asked him what he wanted, he said he wanted a toy doll, but
manly men can’t play with a toy doll, so this became his heart’s
desire.
“And then there’s this other one. I asked him if he wanted to
become rich. He said to me while crying, he didn’t want to
become rich at all. He only wanted to go on vacation. Due to
being unable to go on vacation, there’s already a pile of over 60
pairs of unwashed socks in his wardrobe that he didn’t have the
time to wash……”
Xiao PoLan looked at its God with a tilted head, its mechanical
blue eyes flickering in great bewilderment.
Zhuang Zhou pondered: “However! People have their own
ambitions. Just like Wen XiaoYun. He seems to have no interest
in becoming rich either. So why don’t I just fulfill their heart’s
wishes. I can obtain faith this way as well.”
Ai, he was about to steal the Wish Gods’ job again.
Good thing this was space. The Wish Gods shouldn’t be able to
complain about him here.
At this time, the communication screen on the door lit up. Wen
XiaoYun’s handsome face appeared on the communication
screen: “Are you awake?”
Zhuang Zhou jogged over with small steps to open the door.
Wen XiaoYun looked at the tuft of hair sticking out on top of
Zhuang Zhou’s head and asked: “Did you just wake up?”
Zhuang Zhou nodded his head and gave him a smile: “En en, just
woke up for a little while ago.”
Wen XiaoYun asked: “Are you comfortable living here?”
Zhuang Zhou said: “Comfortable.”
He slept in the Divine Image anyways. The Divine Image can be
placed anywhere so staying anywhere was the same.
Wen XiaoYun said: “Then, did you sleep well?”
Zhuang Zhou said: “Pretty good.”
“En.” Wen XiaoYun said: “I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Zhuang Zhou froze for a second: “Then do you want to sleep
some more?”
Wen XiaoYun said: “Can I?”
Zhuang Zhou thought it strange: “Of course.”
Why not?
It’s not like he can stop Wen XiaoYun and forbid him from
sleeping or something.
As Zhuang Zhou was busy being confused, he saw Wen XiaoYun
walk inside with big steps and laid down in Zhuang Zhou’s bed.
He said to Zhuang Zhou: “En, thank you then.”
Done saying this, he closed his eyes.
Zhuang Zhou: “.......?”
He and the little robot exchanged a glance. Then he suddenly
realized.
So Wen XiaoYun wanted to sleep here?
He understood. Perhaps this room belonged to Wen XiaoYun
previously. Yesterday night, he gave up the room to Zhuang Zhou
and went elsewhere to sleep. That’s why he didn’t sleep well and
can only return now to make up for it.
Zhuang Zhou immediately nudged Xiao PoLan and made a ‘shush’
gesture, indicating to not make any noises and disturb Wen
XiaoYun.
Xiao PoLan obediently nodded its mechanical head, looking very
serious.
Wen XiaoYun actually didn’t sleep yet. He had been listening to
the movements in his surroundings. Then, he forced himself to
sleep.
The time passed slowly, seconds to minutes. Unwittingly, Wen
XiaoYun slowly fell asleep.
In a daze, he finally had another dream.
With quick steps, the youth jogged over towards him.
“Wen XiaoYun!” Zhuang Zhou’s voice was pleasant and sweet to
his ears. He was also speaking in the galactic language.
Wen XiaoYun lowered his head and looked at him: “En.”
Zhuang Zhou said gravely: “Wen XiaoYun, can you give Mr.Zhou
HongYi from elite squad#1 one day of vacation?”
Wen XiaoYun: “.......”
The youth finally spoke the galactic language, but Wen XiaoYun
thought it sounded all weird.
Zhuang Zhou said: “Because of this lack of vacation, he has
accumulated 63 pairs of unwashed socks! How terrible! Please
give him a day off!
Wen XiaoYun: “........????”
