The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 606: Chapter 247: System Calls Me to Save the Day (Part 4)_3

He patted his small chest and moved close to his big brother, reaching out to test the warmth of his big brother’s breath. Reassured by the warm sensation, he finally relaxed.

Being frightened for no good reason, Second Brother Qiao was somewhat displeased, and his tone of voice wasn’t very good, ”It’s already dark, why didn’t you light a candle!”

”Could it really have been just a dream?”

Qiao Zhenbang didn’t want to dwell on these matters, but the memories in his mind were too strange.

He heard the movements of Second Brother Qiao but still couldn’t snap back to reality quickly.

He even couldn’t help but mutter softly.

”A dream? Brother, did you have a dream? Did you also have a nightmare, and that’s why you got scared? Is that why you’re staring into space with open eyes?”

Second Brother Qiao, standing close, happened to hear his big brother’s muttering and, thinking of his own experience, quickly asked.

”What do you mean by ’also’?”

Qiao Zhenbang was really good at getting to the point, or rather, he was extremely sensitive to anything to do with ”dreaming” at the moment.

Finally, his eyes began to move, and, sitting up abruptly, Qiao Zhenbang bore his gaze straight into Second Brother Qiao, ”Xiao Er, did you also have a dream? When? What did you dream about?”

Second Brother Qiao was scared again by his own brother’s expression.

But, seeing Qiao Zhenbang’s eagerness, which did not seem like a prank, he didn’t dare to say too much, quickly responding, ”It was during class this afternoon, I don’t know how, but I got a bit sleepy and dozed off—”

Getting to this point, Second Brother Qiao hurriedly explained, ”Brother, I didn’t mean to not study properly, it’s just that, just at that moment, I suddenly—”

At this point, Qiao Zhenbang couldn’t care less whether his brother was studying diligently or not.

All he wanted to know was what kind of dream his brother had!

”Cut the nonsense, hurry up and tell me, what exactly did you dream about!” Qiao Zhenbang urged impatiently.

Second Brother Qiao: ...Brother looks so scary, ahhh.

With a gulp, he swallowed his saliva and replied with extreme docility, ”I, I dreamed that I got into a university.”

Qiao Zhenbang frowned; this was the same as the ”previous life.”

Second Brother Qiao became even more cautious, lowering his voice several notches, ”However, once I was at university, I met a female classmate, she, she was really awful, she actually peeked at my research paper and published it under her own name!”

Qiao Zhenbang was taken aback, huh? There wasn’t this part in the ”previous life.”

”What’s her name? I mean, that female classmate who plagiarized your paper?” A thought crossed Qiao Zhenbang’s mind, and he asked this question.

”Feng Siyu! Brother, isn’t it strange? Before, when I dreamed, I would only remember the gist after waking up. The people in my dreams, their faces, and names, I couldn’t recall any of it.”

Second Brother Qiao spoke and himself became curious, ”But this time it’s different; after waking from the dream, not only do I vividly remember the girl’s face, but I also remember her name, where she lives, all of it clearly.”

Qiao Zhenbang was indeed taken aback.

Feng Siyu?!

He did indeed know this person; in the previous life, there had also been such a person.

She had indeed harmed his little brother.

But the problem was, Feng Siyu had not plagiarized Second Brother Qiao’s paper but instead had falsely accused him of indecency.

Luckily, at that time, there were surveillance cameras installed in the school, or else Second Brother Qiao would have been left unable to speak out, ultimately falling into disgrace and ending up behind bars.

Qiao Zhenbang reevaluated the memories of his ”previous life” and then studied Second Brother Qiao’s dream carefully.

After comparing notes and contemplation, Qiao Zhenbang discovered the clues—

The person was indeed a villain, in both the previous life and the dream, someone who had harmed him (or his family).

Like Jiao Jiao, and then there was Feng Siyu!

However, the same people committed different evils in the previous life and in the dreams.

Therefore, those memories in Qiao Zhenbang’s mind shouldn’t be called ”previous life,” but rather a similar kind of dream warning.

Warning him (or his family) to be wary of some people and to not be harmed by them.

Although equally mystical, a dream warning was far more credible than reincarnation or previous lives.

After all, in the ghost stories and village rumors heard since childhood, dreams and such were very common.

Qiao Zhenbang’s mind, which had been in disarray, finally had some direction, and his eyes grew ever clearer.

”Brother, what’s going on with me? Why did I dream of someone I don’t know out of the blue?”

Second Brother Qiao was unaware of Qiao Zhenbang’s mental shift and kept rambling on.

”Maybe it’s the protection of our ancestors. Be careful if you ever meet someone called Feng Siyu!”

The words ”protection of our ancestors”—Qiao Zhenbang didn’t know whether he was explaining for Second Brother Qiao or making excuses for himself.

But, he no longer held any belief in the so-called ”rebirth,” had no such doubts about this world, nor had thoughts of destruction any longer!
