Li Xiang the Immortal
52 - Dreams

A 7-year-old boy is surrounded by other children. He has long white hair with golden eyes. They were playing with laughter of audible excitement. But soon, some adults came.

"How many times have you told you to stay away from that unlucky carrier?! Why are you still playing with him?!" Say a grown woman while pulling a child's hand.

"Tao'er, don't play with him anymore. If you keep playing with him, our family's gonna get shit, "an adult man pulled another kid.

"But.."

"Nothing but. You have to obey father."

One by one, the children were taken by their parents and now only leave the white-haired child under a shady tree. He lowered his head.

"Why do I dream of this so much?" A young man who was not far from that place. Body's transparent. He can't touch anything in this place. He slowly walked closer to the boy. There was pity in his gaze when he saw the child. But when he had not arrived, the atmosphere and place around him slowly changed.

The place this time was in front of a tomb with many people surrounding it. Including the child he saw.

"Hiks. hicks. mother.." The boy was crying with his body facing the grave.

"I'm guessing, he's a fucking carrier."

"Why didn't he just leave this family? We also get bad luck from him."

"There's no way he'll be expelled. After all, he was the son of the head of the family and it was likely that he would become the successor of this family."

"Huh? I don't want him to lead the family in the future. If that were to happen, this family would definitely perish because of its misfortune."

"If he hadn't been born, none of this would have happened."

"Even because of her whereabouts, Madam Li died. He's a real fucking carrier."

An adult man crouched beside the white-haired boy seemed to be hugging him from the side. He whispered to bring his son home. He did not want his son to hear the bad words of people around him. However, the boy still did not want to stand up and leave. He still wants to see his mother's grave.

The young man who had since noticed all the events up close had a flat expression. But he actually felt sorry for the boy. But because he often saw this incident, he felt used to it.

The atmosphere around him changed. This time, the place around him looked like a market. Some children were standing in front of the white-haired child. They were beating him to the point of making the boy hurt, "You damn bearer! After my mother forbade me to play with you, my mother died immediately! It's all because of you!"

"Since you were born, my family's income has declined! And I said, before you were born, everything was fine!"

"Fucking bringer!"

"Better you were never born into the world! You're mean!"

"H-stop. hurts.." The white-haired child could only curl up on the ground and receive all that treatment without being able to resist.

"You don't deserve forgiveness!"

The mood changed again. Now it became a dark room without any light. But strangely, the transparent young man could see the child he had noticed.

"Why is it like this? I don't think I was in this place at the time. Even this is the first time." The young man muttered. The distance with the child in front of him was only a few meters.

The curled white-haired child changed his posture to sit while hugging his knees. His face was drowned between his knees.

"Do I have to go near her?" The young man muttered. Just as he was about to walk over, a voice came out from the boy which made him stop.

"Why..why do they hate me? What the hell am I doing? Did I make a mistake? Is my presence not needed? What..they hate my presence?" Speak with a loud voice.

The dark room that was originally empty was now inundated by blood until it reached the eyes of the feet. The young man there was surprised. He looked down, "Why is it like this? This has never happened to me before!" He looked back at the boy in front of him. But he found no presence. He looked around.

A white-haired child was now standing behind him a few meters away. His body stood with his head bowed. There was a sword in his hand covered in blood. His hands also had blood splashes. But he currently looks taller at about 14 years old.

"What am I doing?" His body fell still with the sword in his grasp. "I. kill someone. I don't intend to kill him. I don't want to kill anyone. but why.", he looked at his hands covered in blood.

The boy's head looked up, looking at the young man in front of him who could only pay attention since earlier. His golden-coloured eyes turned red and this instantly made the young man in front of him startled. Tears ran down her cheeks. His voice looked sad, "They're right. I'm a killer.."

***

"Huh. huh.. huh.." A young man awoke from his sleep with a breath of gasps. He held his head. It feels a little dizzy. Whenever he dreamed about the child, he would definitely feel dizzy.

"What dream was that? Why is it like that? Who is that kid, actually? I've never met him at all." He murmured with breath gasping. "I don't know him. But he's often in my dreams."

"Hey, you help me! Don't just shut up. Quickly deliver this food to the buyer's table." Xiao Xing Fu said to Bai Nuan.

Bai Nuan who had just arrived at the kitchen frowned, "I didn't come here to help you. I asked for food. You haven't given me any food today. I'm hungry and give me money to buy new clothes."

Xiao Xing Fu looked at Bai Nuan irritatedly, "If you want to earn money, then you have to work! There's no money for you if you don't want to work!"

Bai Nuan looked at Xiao Xing Fu from behind in annoyance, "You think I'm your servant? Don't just tell me!"

"Well, I won't force it. But you won't get any food today!"

"Currently," Bai Nuan approached Xiao Xing Fu, "Then should I deliver which food and where?!" His words are not sincere.

Xiao Xing Fu pointed with his chin, "You grab that and just ask Fang."

Bai Nuan took the food in annoyance, "Currently, why do I have to do this?!"

"Hurry up if you want to get some food."

Bai Nuan immediately left the kitchen and approached the waiter named Cao Fang to ask where he should give the food in his hand.

"Ah that, you can give it to table number 5." Cao Fang.

Bai Nuan nodded, "Thank you." When he saw Cao Fang go to the kitchen, he immediately looked around, "It seems like this is no problem, khihihi." He immediately went up the stairs that were located near the kitchen while carrying food and drinks in his hands.

A dozen minutes later, people at table 5 protested when their food did not arrive. They say that the service in the restaurant is not good and very long. They have been waiting since.

"Ah, sorry.. Then, I'll take the food as soon as possible." Cao Fang said with a guilty smile. He immediately went to meet Xiao Xing Fu who had been cooking in the kitchen. "Sir, the buyer at table 5 said their food had not been there since. Though I saw Miss Bai bring the food earlier to deliver."

Xiao Xing Fu frowned with a bulging tooth, "He had already returned the dirty dishes to me. I thought he gave it to the buyer. She must have eaten it."

"So how's this sir?"

"I'll make you some new food. Tell them to wait." The Upset Xiao Xing Fu.

"Well, sir." Fang immediately left in front of his Master.

"He messed it all up! Damn you!" Xiao Xing Fu muttered. "He's more annoying than a teacher."
