Chapter 361 Pei Yiyang: I like the potted plant she gave me the most.

"What happened?" Qiao Changdong was also sitting on the side. Seeing that Shen Qingyan and Qiao Qiao looked unwell, he immediately scooped up his daughter and kissed her forehead tenderly.

Qiao Qiao looked up: "Dad, the daughter of that fruit-selling auntie is gone."

Moreover, he died in an extremely tragic manner.

The way she died was exactly the same as in the dream she had before.

When the little girl disappeared, Qiao Changdong knew that she was probably dead, but now that he knew she had died in such a tragic way, he felt uneasy.

He didn't say anything, but just held the baby in his arms tightly, very tightly.

His gaze met Shen Qingyan's, and they both saw the gravity in each other's eyes.

They all had a premonition that, following the order in their dreams, their daughter might be next.

As for Pei Yiyang, Qiao Changdong called him repeatedly, asking Pei Anting to keep an eye on Pei Yiyang's safety.

As early as the 18th day of the lunar calendar, all primary and secondary schools in Hongfeng Town had already started the new semester.

If it weren't for Grandma Qiao coming to Kyoto for a head examination, Fu Yu would have started school as planned. However, like Pei Yiyang, he had never been to school before and was tutored by his family.

Qiao Xu and his friends tested him during winter break.

They discovered that his level had actually reached that of junior high school students.

However, considering that Fu Yu was admitted to university at the age of fourteen, his current level of education is quite normal, which is equivalent to that of a junior high school student.

Moreover, Qiao Qiao didn't know how much time Fu Yu had been delayed by the family that bought him in his previous life.

If there is enough time, the three years of junior high school and the three years of senior high school will still need to be squeezed out.

When Pei Anting received another call from Qiao Changdong in Kyoto, he was very vigilant. Xiang Dongyan, who could see the small bubbles on Qiao Qiao's head, paid even more attention.

Hongfeng Town No. 1 Middle School is a boarding school, but because of Pei Yiyang's special health condition, Xiang Dongyan arranged for Pei Yiyang to attend school as a day student, and transferred a car from Baoyi City to pick him up and drop him off every day.

That day, when Xiang Dongyan received a call from Qiao Changdong and picked Pei Yiyang up to go home in the evening, she casually said, "Your little sister Qiaoqiao reminded you again yesterday, Sui Sui, you need to be more careful during this period, or, how about temporarily taking a break from school and staying home to get through this period?"

After Xiang Dongyan finished speaking, she realized that Pei Yiyang, who had sat down behind her, hadn't said anything.

She looked back with a hint of worry, and while saying this, she reached for the spare medicine in the storage box: "Sui Sui, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to take some medicine..."

"Mom, I'm fine." Seeing Xiang Dongyan frantically trying to get the medicine, Pei Yiyang gently comforted her.

"That's good, that's good. So, Sui Sui, what do you think of what Mom just told you?" Xiang Dongyan asked again.

Pei Yiyang, however, asked a completely different question: "Mom, did we buy a house in Fengyang Courtyard?"

"Huh? How did you know?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Dongyan looked at Pei Yiyang in surprise.

“The houses in this Maple Courtyard are indeed nice. Many people in Kyoto have bought them. It was developed by your Uncle Feng’s family. Your father and your uncle have a good relationship. To support his business, your uncle bought three houses at once and reserved one for our family as well. However, the renovations haven’t started yet.”

As Xiang Dongyan spoke, she became increasingly suspicious.

"This is just something your uncle has said verbally; the house hasn't been transferred yet, and your father doesn't even know about it. How did you find out?"

Pei Yiyang did not answer, but lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions in his eyes at that moment.

He couldn't tell Xiang Dongyan that this was a dream he had during his afternoon nap that day.

In that dream.

He met another Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao is eight or nine years old.

The Qiao Qiao in his dream was not like the little Qiao Qiao he had met before, who was pampered and cherished by Uncle Qiao Changdong, Aunt Yan Liti, and Uncle Shen Qingyan.

It was as if he had been locked up, hiding in a corner of a house every day, crying.

Seeing Qiao Qiao like that, he was very worried and heartbroken. He wanted to hug her and comfort her, but he found that his body was weak and his outstretched hand passed right through Qiao Qiao's body.

In that dream... he seemed to be dead...

He died of a heart attack.

At the age of nineteen.

Pei Yiyang naturally couldn't tell Xiang Dongyan that he had such a dream, as it would definitely terrify his family.

He recalled the first time he met Qiao Qiao at the Baoyi City Guesthouse.

She looked up and asked Dongyan, "Mom, did you tell Qiao Qiao about me before you picked me up?"

In fact, Pei Yiyang sensed it at the time.

Qiao Qiao's attitude towards him was particularly familiar.

He simply thought that it was because Xiang Dongyan often talked about him in front of Qiao Qiao that Qiao Qiao was so familiar with him.

But now, thinking back, Qiao Qiao felt a sense of familiarity with herself.

It's definitely not something you can become familiar with just by talking to someone else. It's a sense of familiarity that comes from deep within, a feeling that comes from having interacted with him and having a very good relationship with him... even a sense of dependence.

"Of course I said that," Xiang Dongyan said, without suspecting anything.

As she talked about this, she became more and more excited: "And son, you don't know, you guessed the meaning of your nickname all by yourself. Isn't that amazing?"

"Also, Mom will pick you up because you're a good girl."

Then Xiang Dongyan told Pei Yiyang everything that happened when she first talked about him with Qiao Qiao at the Qiao family.

"At that time, Mom was also blinded by her own thoughts, only thinking about your body, but not about your true wishes. Fortunately, Mom met you, otherwise I don't know how much longer I would have continued to be blind."

"Think about it, I've only known Guai Guai for less than half a year, but my feelings for her feel like they've lasted for a very long time. That's strange."

Finally, Xiang Dongyan expressed her feelings.

Pei Yiyang simply listened quietly as Xiang Dongyan spoke.

His face seemed expressionless.

But in reality, a storm was raging inside me.

Xiang Dongyan asked one last question: "Mom, do you know what my favorite flower is?"

Xiang Dongyan had already started the car, and upon hearing this, she could only look at his expression in the rearview mirror. Her tone was a little surprised: "Does Sui Sui have any favorite flower varieties?"

Pei Yiyang has his own greenhouse in Kyoto, and he also grows some flowers, trees and shrubs in Hongfeng Town, but Xiang Dongyan really couldn't see that he showed any particular fondness for any flower.

“It’s a sunflower,” Pei Yiyang replied.

"The potted plant that Qiao Qiao gave us?"

"Yes, the one she gave me."
