Chris asked the question without answering.
"Do you know what is the most critical element in maintaining a dream?"
As if the conversation was boring, she rested her head on one hand and looked down.
Wayne, who was standing directly below, raised his head and looked into her eyes. He felt that there seemed to be thousands of stars flowing in those silvery blue eyes, which was extremely mysterious.
"What is it?"
Wayne didn't mind chatting with her for a while.
Whether this image originated from a suggestion deep in his heart or simply from the influence of the external world, after Tasia's reminder, he could no longer ignore this phenomenon.
"—It's belief," she said.
"Only by truly believing in all this, the absurd dream can be maintained."
In the middle of the endless pale clearing, Wayne stood there and thought for a while.
"Are you hinting at me?" he asked suspiciously.
Whether it is the current dream or the real world I have experienced, it seems that it can be substituted into this sentence.
"Is it a hint? Maybe, maybe not." Chris just smiled.
Wayne frowned unconsciously. "Maybe you don't know much about my character. I really hate the Riddler. If you want to ask me to do something, you can just say it. Of course, I may not agree."
He worked hard to control the rhythm of the conversation and avoid falling into the other person's verbal trap.
"Don't be so wary of me~"
Probably seeing the wariness in Wayne's expression, she narrowed her eyes and comforted him and said, "You know, I have been helping you so far."
"For example?" Even after thinking about it, Wayne didn't feel that he had been helped by such an existence.
"It would be too boring to tell everything. Since you are so smart, you might as well guess." She jumped off the box and approached Wayne.
Except for the strange look in her eyes, everything about her was no different from Chris, who was with her every day.
Even if you know Ruwei En, you can't find any flaw in her that is exposed as a "disguise".
"I think even if I really guessed it, you would deny it." Wayne said.
"That's right!" She didn't mind Wayne's cynicism at all. "It's really more interesting to talk to smart people."
Wayne twitched his lips and smiled perfunctorily.
"Then besides the smart me, who else have you talked to like this?" he asked seemingly unintentionally.
Chris was about to open her mouth to answer, but then she realized the trap he had set in his words, and pretended to be angry and said, "Humph, I don't want to tell you!"
"No matter how handsome a boy is, if he is too smart to the point of being cunning, then he won't be cute, right?"
She shook her head knowingly. "In order to keep you cute, it's better to be a little stupider."
"So, what exactly do you want to say?" Wayne was impatient.
"What do I want to say? I already told you about it~"
For some reason, Chris's smile was evil at the moment.
It was as if a prank had been set up and the plan was expected to succeed.
He suddenly stepped forward and wanted to grab her hand.
But this dream seemed to be unable to last any longer, and it suddenly dissipated the moment he was about to touch the girl's body——
Wayne suddenly opened the quilt and sat up.
He was still staying in his room well, and there was nothing unusual going on around him.
'What does this dream mean to me? '
The heart in the chest was beating very irregularly, as if it was telling or reminding him of something.
As soon as the sky dawned, Wayne sat up and opened the window. The fresh morning air mixed with a hint of chill came over the pavement, dispelling the last trace of his already thin sleepiness.
So, unable to sleep anymore, he lay on the window sill and stared at the distant sky that was gradually getting colored for a long time.
"Forget it, let's go do morning exercises!"
After returning to change his clothes, Wayne ritually picked up his sword, then went downstairs to the yard to pick up the sleeping little white dog.
"A beautiful day starts from getting up early!" He shouted energetically, "Xiao Bai, today I want to introduce you to my new friend Xiao Hei. I believe you will also like it!"
"—Woof woof woof woof!" The peaceful and peaceful Duke Wenche's Mansion was once again enveloped in the angry barking of dogs.
…
At the call of His Majesty the King, Lownes Equestrian Club decided to hold a grand horse race.
Of course, the Edgeworth family, which has several horse teams under its name, cannot be absent from such an important occasion.
"My daughter, you just need to stay with me." Mr. Franz put on a particularly energetic equestrian suit today. The pure black vest made his slightly fat belly slim. a little. "Let's go together to cheer for the team that signed up for the competition, and then we can go back to the stands to rest."
"At that time, the princes and ministers will probably bring their families to attend. We must remember not to lose the identity and dignity of our Edgeworth family!"
After listening to her father's routine admonishment, Songli Edgeworth nodded coldly.
She knew that her father's intention was not that she should show her love for equestrian, but that he wanted her to take this opportunity to perform well and surpass the other noble ladies in style.
Just as His Excellency Franz often spends a lot of money to search for horses and excellent equestrians, not because of his own love for equestrianism, but just to show his superior style and financial resources.
In the past, she would have felt that in order not to disgrace the Edgeworth family, it was natural to strive for the first place in these aspects.
——If you can defeat your old enemy Chris, it will be even more satisfying.
But now she just feels bored.
The more I understand how Chris and Wayne see all this, the more boring and uninteresting it becomes.
Those two guys don't care about such inconsequential winning or losing at all.
For them, they will only get involved in things they like, and if they are not interested, they will simply ignore it.
In contrast, it made myself look like a fool, even though I was secretly happy about it.
Song Li hated this feeling.
This... feeling that only the two of them can understand each other, and only themselves are the outsiders.
Perhaps, there was a time when he was addicted to the tenderness that belonged to him.
So even if we get along stumblingly later, we can still rely on the good memories to continue to persevere.
This is probably why falling in love is full of beauty, but it is so difficult to hope that two people can stay together forever, right?
