Chapter 604 - 603: Where is the Dream!

Chapter 604: Chapter 603: Where is the Dream!

Lin Dong didn’t find out about Lin Chun’s hospitalization until after he had finished his exam and walked out of the examination room, a piece of news he got from Lin Qiu.

Although he had grown suspicious over the past couple of days, wondering why his oldest brother hadn’t shown his face, and his oldest sister seemed very busy every day,

the reason given by his two older sisters was that his brother had gone down to the Forestry Bureau to participate in an investigation and gather evidence, and he would probably be back after Lin Dong had finished his exams.

"Xiaoqiu! You and Big Sister have been keeping this from me all this time!"

He understood his sisters’ good intentions, but he still felt hurt.

He had always wanted to prove that he had grown up and was no longer the little brother who could only be protected by his older siblings.

Yet, whenever something happened, he was still the one sheltered under their wings!

Lin Qiu put her hand on Lin Dong’s shoulder and patiently explained, "Dongzi! We had no choice! If you had known, would you have been able to concentrate on your exams?

Your big brother definitely didn’t want you to be distracted from your exams because of him!"

These past few days had been unbearably tough for her, worrying about her older brother’s condition while pretending that everything was calm and normal on the surface.

She herself did not know how she had managed to endure it with such determination!

"Xiaoqiu! Both you and Big Sister have had it tough! Pretending in front of me while worrying about Big Brother!" Lin Dong’s eyes were full of concern, "When will Big Brother wake up?

Lin Qiu gave a bitter smile, "Who knows! Let’s just hurry over now!"

In the last two days, she had only managed to visit her big brother sporadically, and each sight of him pained her heart as if it were being sliced by a knife.

"Alright! Let’s hurry then!" Lin Dong pedaled his bike quickly, with Lin Qiu riding pillion straight to the hospital.

As Lin Dong and Lin Qiu approached the ward, they faintly heard voices of people chatting inside.

Lin Qiu and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, their eyes shining bright.

They both felt a premonition stirring within them.

Had Big Brother awoken?

As they quickly approached the door of the ward, they saw that Lin Chun had indeed awakened, and Lin Xia was there talking with him!

Both of them were overjoyed!

Lin Qiu’s eyes reddened as she moved closer, "Big Brother! Big Brother! You’re finally awake!"

The younger brother had finished his exams, and she and her big sister had been discussing transferring their brother to a hospital in the provincial city if he didn’t wake up soon.

Lin Dong rushed to the bedside and exclaimed, "Big Brother! You’ve woken up! This is fantastic!"

On the way there, he had been thinking that if his brother didn’t wake up, he, as the only man in the family, would have to take good care of his two sisters.

But unexpectedly, upon arriving, he saw that his brother had woken up! The feeling was like seeing the light at the end of a tunnel.

Lin Chun was also very excited, and he grasped their hands, "You’ve both arrived! Dongzi, how did the exam go?"

"It went well! I think I got everything right!" Lin Dong managed to wipe his eyes as he turned to wipe the sweat off his brow, then turned back to face them with a big smile, "Big Brother! I’m sure I’ll get admitted!"

"Good! That’s wonderful!" Lin Chun continually praised him, "Our little brother is going to be a college student!"

Last time when the younger brother took the middle school exams, he wasn’t home, but later he heard that their dad and step-mom caused a lot of trouble.

He had originally planned to pick up his brother during the exams.

Not being involved in his brother’s exams and instead causing such a big ordeal for his two sisters, he felt extremely guilty.

Lin Xia watched them with relief, her eyes moist but silent—her eldest brother had woken up, and her youngest brother had finished his exams! How wonderful!

Lin Qiu agreed, "Exactly! Our family’s first college student!" She suddenly hugged Lin Xia and pouted, "Big sister! Why do I suddenly feel like crying!" Her tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks as she spoke.

"Cry? Tears of joy?" Lin Xia teased her, "No crying! We’ve made it over this hurdle; from now on, it’s all good days ahead!"

Actually, she felt like crying too, but with such a great atmosphere, how could she break down?

Lin Qiu smiled as she wiped her tears away, "Okay! I won’t cry!"

Lin Dong stared intently at Lin Chun, having already been informed by their second sister about his eldest brother’s hospitalization during their trip. At this moment, he did not bring up those unhappy matters.

"My big sister is right! Big brother! Once you’re almost recovered, we should go out for a stroll! We don’t even need to go far! I’ve been thinking about this for a long time!"

"Okay! I estimate that it won’t take many days before I can be discharged from the hospital! Then we’ll properly go out and have fun!" After this incident, Lin Chun also gained new insights.

Life is neither too long nor too short.

Perhaps one day you just close your eyes and never wake up again.

So, he decided to change his personality and his way of thinking.

Being alive is good enough; there’s no need to concern himself with all those rigid rules, trapping himself and making no progress.

He looked at Lin Xia, who had been so worried about him that she had visibly lost weight and dark circles had formed under her eyes.

He decided that from now on, he would take on the responsibilities of an elder brother, no longer letting his married sister worry and exert herself over them.

Lin Xia smiled and concurred, "Great! Let’s the four of us have a really good time! Eat, drink, and be merry!"

As long as all the siblings were doing well, that was stronger than anything...

Lin Xia asked Lin Qiu and Lin Dong to go out and buy some delicious food—roasted chicken, prepared foods, and sodas. The four of them simply decided to eat right here in the hospital room.

Lin Chun sat up against the pillow, while Lin Xia sat by the bed, chatting with him.

Sunlight seeped through the window, casting a yellowish glow in the hospital room.

Lin Chun suddenly brought up the dream that seemed so real yet surreal, "Xiaoxia! During the days when I wasn’t awake, I had a very long dream!"

"What dream?" Lin Xia asked.

Lin Chun squinted his eyes, "In the dream, I dreamt again that I had died. Actually, I had this dream a few years ago. In the dream, after my death, you, Xiaoqiu, and Dongzi were all living poorly..."

Her big brother’s dream was no mere dream!

It was almost a true reflection of a past life!

Lin Xia was shocked, a storm surging in her heart!

But no matter when, she would never talk about her experience of going back in time.

Lin Chun put on a look of amazement, "Big brother, that’s quite an interesting dream you’ve had! To have it twice!

But it’s okay, dreams are the opposite of reality. If you died, it means you are alive! If we’re not doing well, that’s also the opposite, look how well we’re doing now!"

Lin Chun’s eyes were bright and serious, "Xiaoxia! I don’t think that the things in that dream are false! If you hadn’t led us to leave that home and live independently, if I were still working at the Forestry Bureau,

maybe it would be just like in the dream... Xiaoqiu would have married a man who abused her, Dongzi would have dropped out of school to work and make money, and you..."

Lin Xia hurriedly interrupted him with a laugh, "Big brother! You’re overthinking it! It was just a dream!" She didn’t want to dwell on those topics.

"Maybe! But I feel it was particularly real, frighteningly real, even now that I am awake, I can remember a lot of the details from the dream! Isn’t that strange?" Lin Chun still felt a lingering fear as he recalled the dream.
