Song of Time - Dusk Awakening Verse - Chapter 35

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

On a winter night, the cold wind was biting, but in the dormitory here, couldn’t feel the frost’s temperature outside. In the darkness, only the golden light at the head of the bed flickered, which set off a huge wave in Gian’s quiet dream, and the whirlpool whirled around, pulling him into an extremely treacherous dream.

He just felt that he had fallen into a kaleidoscope that was constantly rolling, and countless large golden magic patterns wrapped around his body as if to dye his whole body with gold. He was dazzled by the golden light and had to close his eyes. The dizziness that followed him made him almost unable to stand. He staggered to grasp something for support. 

However, there was nothing in the empty world. He could only half kneel down and swing his body involuntarily. He imitated the Buddha for a thousand years. At last, he calmed down and fell into darkness.

Gian had not yet recovered from this whirl. He did not dare to open his eyes for a moment. Suddenly, he felt warm all over his body. It was like the hot sun shining on his body, which made his slightly numb body relax again. He trembled, his eyelids finally opened, and he found that he was held tightly in his arms. In front of him was a giant blond man dressed in a gray and white military uniform, with a brilliant smile on his handsome face.

What’s going on? He looked at the man in front of him, feeling a little familiar, but at this time, his brain was in a mess, and couldn’t remember his name at all. He was just about to talk to each other, but he found that he was crying out. Then he looked down and saw that he was wrapped in soft golden cotton.

“Oh, Don’t cry, don’t cry. “Hearing the cry, the blonde quickly shook his hands and whispered in a low magnetic voice, “My Yuno, daddy’s sweetheart, oh…” He gently kisses the baby’s forehead with his heart, and the bright sun shines on his hair like a sacred ceremony.

Yuno？ 

When Gian heard the name, he came to her senses. He looked at the man in front of him, and then he suddenly realized that this was the younger Lord Sarong? Although he had only seen one side of the Lord, Gian was very impressed with him. With that iconic blonde hair, it was absolutely right. Did he become a store manager in his infancy?

Before he recovered from the shock, a dignified and elegant lady came out of the man’s back. She was wearing a long watercolor dress and a snow-white thick fur coat, with little blood on her cheek and some feeling of illness and weakness.

The lady came forward with a sad face, pursed her mouth, and whispered, “She still doesn’t want to give up. Can you try something else? “

Lord patted the child and was silent for a moment. Then he turned and shook his head at her: “There’s nothing I can do about it. I always don’t understand that he is not a power. Why is this kind of disease…”

“Look at her now. She doesn’t eat or drink. How dare I ask again…” The lady complained, frowned, and advised, “Honey, try again. She came all the way from the dark castle. If we can help her as much as possible, we will feel better…”

“…… All right.” The Lord nodded and sighed, handed his swaddling clothes to his wife, and strode away.

The lady looked at her lovely son in the swaddle, and her melancholy was slightly reduced. She held him and hummed an unknown lullaby. Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers and plants on her body, Gian felt a little shy. Suddenly, he thought of his mother, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. In a trance, he felt a kind of inborn attachment. He accompanied her in the lady’s arms with a light snort. When he was sleepy, he heard a soft young voice beside him, “mother, you need more rest now. Let me hold you.”

“I’m not that weak. I just held you for a while.” The lady turned her head and grumbled. But the young man couldn’t help but come forward and gently held the child in his arms.

The boy was only about ten years old, and it was a little difficult for him to hold the baby. He gently wiped the saliva from the corner of the baby’s mouth, shook his body, and whispered, “Yuno, are you behaving well today?”

With her eyes closed, Gian could only hear his gentle voice. Somehow, she suddenly felt an inexplicable impulse, so he trembled slightly and felt a heat in his waist… He peed.

“You are still so naughty.” The boy was not afraid of being wet at all. He smiled and put the baby on the round table beside him. He untied the swaddle and changed the diaper skillfully. Gian was so shy that she narrowed her eyes. The young man in front of her looked exactly like his elegant and handsome father, but he looked more handsome because he was young.

He soon noticed that a large part of the grey uniform had been wet, like a black patch. Immediately, he felt ashamed and embarrassed. He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He sighed in his heart that it was so shameful!

“Well, Ian, leave it to me. Go and change your clothes.” The lady patted the boy’s shoulder and pointed at the water stains on his chest.

The young man named Ian answered with a smile. He wiped his hands and ran out of the room. The lady quickly changed the diaper. She picked up the child and slowly walked to the balcony while shaking it. Gian was still a little shy. She turned her head to avoid the lady’s chest, only to find that outside the room, the sun was shining brightly. It was a sea of flowers.

Countless petals slowly fell from all kinds of unknown trees and were gently wrapped by the spring breeze, flying into colorful ribbons. He had never seen such a gorgeous sea of flowers before. When he was absorbed in the flowers, he suddenly felt that his eyelids became heavier, and he gradually fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him changed.

It was an endless greenhouse. Rows of green plants were neatly planted in the dark soil. There were also many people in dark blue uniforms coming and going, busy with farm work. When he was about to look around, he saw dirty brown cotton pants and a pair of leather boots. It seemed that he was still attached to the child. Didn’t he know if it was the shop manager this time?

At this moment, his mind was in a very strange state of division. He clearly realized that this was not the real himself, but he could only obey the child’s will like a puppet. His mind was full of joy, anger, and sadness. Just then, he stared at the wide leaf plant in front of him. As he got closer and closer, he suddenly felt that something was attracting him. He reached out his hand to touch the green leaf and unexpectedly touched a snail the size of his palm.

“Mom!Mom! “He held the snail with both hands and shouted. He couldn’t wait to stand up and run forward. Soon, a familiar gentle smile appeared on the lady’s face. She was also wearing a work uniform with mud marks, holding a pair of scissors and a round bucket, and collecting mature red honey fruit in the greenhouse.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Mom! Look, I caught it! “He held the snail in his hand proudly to the lady for credit. His eyes were wide open, and his golden eyes were full of expectation.

“What a big snail! Yuno is so awesome!” The lady exclaimed exaggeratedly. He took off her gloves and rubbed his curly golden hair. Then he took out a thumb-sized red fruit from the round bucket and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gian only felt that the honey fruit was sweet and juicy, and there was no sticky feeling in her mouth. There was nothing more delicious than this in the world. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask more, but he heard a soft voice not far away, “Yuno!”

He turned around and saw a handsome young man in a blue uniform and a black schoolbag leaning against the door and waving at him with a smile.

“Brother!Brother! “He didn’t want to eat anything at all. He threw the fruit away, strode to the young man, and threw himself into his arms.

“Brother, where have you been? I haven’t been with Yuno for a long time! “He tried to stand on tiptoe and put his arms around his brother’s waist. He raised his head, opened his big watery eyes, and complained in a sweet voice.

“I’m sorry. I’m still an intern. I can’t go home often…”Ian bent down, picked up his brother, and kissed him. Then he pinched his nose lovingly.

“What is an internship?”

“Internship means that I have to live far away for a period of time. When I come back after my graduation, I can become the most powerful doctor.”

“Then Yuno will go with me. Yuno also needs to be the best doctor! “He pursed his lips and shouted unwillingly. Hearing his great wish, the young man kissed him again, dotingly, and smiled with his eyes narrowed into a seam.

When he saw his brother laughing, he couldn’t help but feel happy. He danced and wanted to act like a spoiled child again. Suddenly, he heard a regular buzz in the distance. He turned his head subconsciously and saw a huge floating city floating in the sky.

Another black fog came, and the warm scene instantly changed. Gian found herself standing in a luxuriously decorated living room, with bright white marble beneath her feet and painted Beige tiles on the top of his head. Two rows of mahogany spiral stairs extended from both sides of the hall. The fire in the innermost furnace warmed the whole room.

In the center of the living room was a row of brown soft leather sofa, on which sat three figures of different height and short. The young man with blonde hair should be his brother. The purple-haired man looked familiar, but Gian couldn’t call his name. On his shoulder, there was a big white bird with its eyes closed and its head down. It was Huang, the fat bird in the study. The youngest one was covered in a black cloak and couldn’t see his face. He was holding a child who was wrapped in thick fur clothes.

He was still wondering why Huang would stand on the young man’s shoulder, but he couldn’t help but walk forward quickly, bowed to the young man with purple hair, and greeted him obediently, “Hello, Hsuan.”

“Naughty boy. You must have eaten it again. Your belly is about to swell.” The young man named Hsuan quipped, stretching out his hand to touch his fat belly.

“Of course not.” He put his hand on his stomach and made a face. Then he whispered in the ear of the white bird, “Huang, Huang, Grandpa Leiden made a honey fruit milk toast for me. It’s still hot. Come and eat with me.”

The fat bird opened one eye and glanced at him. He hesitated and rolled his eyes. Finally, he couldn’t resist the temptation of sweet food. He coughed and flew to his shoulder, and then continued to close his eyes, pretending to be calm.

The white bird looked heavy, but Gian felt nothing on his shoulder. He stroked the smooth and white tail feather and wondered, ‘this man named Hsuan seems to have something to do with the study. Is he the former manager?’

When he was lost in his thought, he saw his brother, who looked a little serious, waving at him and saying, “Yuno, take this brother upstairs to have a rest.”

“Okay!” He nodded with a smile and fixed his eyes on the stranger who took off his cloak and revealed his short green hair. His face was full of coldness that prevented him from approaching.

Her green hair… Was it Jin Yuan? Gian looked at the facial paralysis face and found it more and more alike, but he couldn’t ask. He could only compare his hands and said, “come with me.” then he turned around and led the way. The green-haired young man didn’t say a word. He held the child in his hand and followed him upstairs. The two of them walked through the deep corridor one after another, without saying a word. Only the rhythm of their footsteps matched.

After walking silently for a while, he suddenly slowed down his pace. He turned his eyes and asked the young man with green hair with a smile, “Hello! My name is Yuno. What’s your name?”

“……Jin Yuan.” The green-haired young man said two words expressionlessly and closed his mouth again.

It was indeed Jin Yuan. He didn’t expect him to be so cold. He didn’t know who was in his arms. Gian guessed secretly and continued to ask, “Are you holding your brother in your arms?”

“……No. “

“It’s a sister. I also want a sister!”

“……”

“How old are you? I’m eight years old now! “

“……Eleven. “

“Where is your home? Is it far from my home? “

“……Jing City。”

“Where is Jing City?”

“……”

He was a little unhappy to see that the woman still didn’t want to talk to him. He pouted and played his trump card. “I’ll treat you honey milk toast. It’s delicious!”

“……No need. “

What an annoying guy! He stared at Jin Yuan with his hands on his waist. When he was thinking about something angrily, the screen turned again. Black smoke billowed, and countless streamer like images appeared from his side, circling around him rapidly.

Gian opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at the blurry scene that constantly flashed. He saw a huge golden airship streaking across the blue sky, and he saw a majestic black fortress standing between the mountains. He saw many ants like red puppets, saw the heavy firecrackers roaring and spurting black iron bombs, and saw the boundless battlefield smoke. Countless noises kept hitting his ears, making him dizzy and almost explode. He could only cover his ears and grit his teeth, waiting for the end of the suffering.

After a long time, the surroundings finally quieted down. Gian shook his still dazed head and took a closer look. In front of him stood a middle-aged man in a silver-gray general uniform. He had a thin face, a majestic short beard under his jaw, and a thick bear head silver ring on his forehead.

“Where did you sneak out?” The general squatted down and pinched his nose. He smiled kindly, showing no mercy to the whole army.

“I…” As soon as he uttered a word, a cold voice of a young man came from beside him, “we want to see major Ian.”

He followed the voice and saw Jin Yuan, who was still in a black cloak, looking straight ahead indifferently. When he turned around and looked at him, he seemed to want something, but suddenly it changed back to a puff of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.

The golden light reappeared, and the whole world began to rotate again. Gian felt that he seemed to be trapped in this eternal spinning space. He crouched down in a daze. As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a deafening sound from afar.

An ominous premonition arose in his heart. He immediately looked up and saw circles of golden ripples burst out at the end of the black fog. What’s that? As soon as this idea came to his mind, he seemed to be driven by something and ran towards there. The faster he ran, the faster he ran. It seemed that there was a voice in his heart that kept urging him to: hurry up! Hurry up! It’s too late!

He stared at the only light in the darkness, almost unable to breathe. He only felt that the air around him was getting colder and colder, making him shiver. The rolling black fog seemed to have sensed his obsession. It formed a black crystal-like rope bridge and spread in front of him. Then it collapsed and peeled off as he walked and disappeared in the endless void.

The world was on the verge of collapse. There was no time! This idea suddenly popped out of his mind. He gritted his teeth and approached the white light in the distance!Soon!He faintly saw the thin figure in the white light. That figure was so familiar. It was his brother! It was her brother! A voice kept shouting in his mind.

“Brother!” He shouted with all his strength. The figure in the white light seemed to hear his voice and turned his head mechanically.

The handsome young man had turned into thin light like gauze, illusory and unreal, trembling under the wash of the golden ripples. He stared blankly at the young man who was running desperately in the distance and thought of something. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing the last gentle smile, and instantly shattered into white particles of light.

Brother!!!The heavy black fog wrapped around Gian’s body, making him unable to move forward or say a word. He was standing at the junction of black and white as if an invisible chasm had cut open the edge of life and death. He could only watch the white light dots flying out in the distance, constantly flashing and disappearing into the dark space like the wind.

The entire dream world collapsed the moment the white light disappeared. Streaks of golden light flew past, and he couldn’t help but begin to spin. After a dazzled moment, he fell into a coma again.

“Brother… Brother… “In the quiet room, Gian was immersed in endless nightmares. His face was as pale as snow, and his eyebrows were knitted tightly. Bean sized tears were constantly flowing out from the corner of his eyes and wetted the pillow towel.

His intermittent sigh echoed in the darkroom, making his hair stand on end. However, the letter written by the culprit had already withdrawn its golden light. It lay quietly beside him, like an unnecessary spectator, silently waiting for the end of the night.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
