It’s the dream again. The silent man in purple looked at me quietly from a dark place. I also looked at him for a long time. Finally, I melancholy, said: “Don’t look for me anymore. Even though you’re the person of my dreams, I can take you to reality to be my husband.”
Tomorrow is the day that I’ll get my hairpin. Shifu let the people of Shengling sect organize a big feast for me to choose a husband. His face looks darker each approaching day. Although I don’t know the reason, but I can see that shifu doesn’t like me looking for a husband. So I was very puzzled. If he doesn’t like it, I can just stop looking for a husband. Why did he have to spend time organizing a feast for me to choose a husband and make himself angry?
I sighed and told the man in purple: “My shifu is a weirdo. Although he organized a feast for me to choose a husband, he isn’t happy that I’m choosing a husband. So even though I really want a husband, I still won’t choose. Beside you always only appear in my dreams. You can’t come to the feast. Well…so I thought for a moment and came to the conclusion that you shouldn’t appear in my dreams anymore and making me wish for a better life. I’ll be disappointed if I can’t live a better life later.”
The man in purple listened to my words. I don’t know why he laughed.
“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to make you live a good life. What do you think?”
My eyes lit up, but thinking about shifu’s sullen face, I shook my head: “If I’ve a good life, shifu will be unhappy…forget it, it’s best if I just stay beside shifu.”
The man in purple was silent for a very long time.
“A Xiang lady, do you like your shifu very much?”
“Very much,”I nodded. “Shifu eats meat, I also eat meat. Shifu is happy, I’m also happy.”
The man in purple didn’t speak again. In my ears I can hear the faint sound of shifu’s voice calling for me. It’s presumably already dawn. I waved at the man in purple and said: “I’m going. Let’s don’t meet each other anymore.”
I opened my eyes and saw that the sun just came up. My heart doesn’t understand where shifu’s energy comes from. He got up even earlier than me. My vision got clearer. I saw shifu standing at my bedside, looking at me with squinted eyes.
“What did you see in your dream? Your mouth was muttering.”
“Well,”I said while rubbing my eyes. “I was saying goodbye to the person of my dreams…”
