Chapter 430: A Long Dream

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Huanhuan felt suffocated.

She sat up abruptly!

Crash!

There was the sound of water.

“Cough, cough, cough!” Lin Huanhuan lay beside the bathtub and coughed hard.

When she finally recovered, she realized she was sitting in the bathtub. She was surrounded by tiles. Directly opposite was a waist-high sink with a glass mirror covered in mist.

This was her bathroom!

Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat.

Could she have transmigrated back?!

She scrambled to her feet, pulled on a bathrobe, and ran out of the bathroom barefoot.

The three-room house was neat and tidy.

This was the inheritance her mother had left her before she died. When she reached adulthood, she moved out of her uncle’s house and lived in this house alone.

Huanhuan pulled open the curtains. There was a group of middle-aged women dancing in the square downstairs. The song ‘The Hottest Ethnic Trend’ echoed throughout the neighborhood. In the distance, there were tall buildings. A passenger plane flew past in the sky.

This was indeed the place she had called home for more than 20 years.

She was really back.

Lin Huanhuan sat on the sofa in a daze and stared blankly at the TV screen.

The screen reflected her current appearance. Her hair was wet and dripping. She was wearing a pale pink bathrobe that she had bought some time ago. The sofa under her butt was wrapped with floral fabric. It was a little old. It creaked slightly when she sat down.

Why did he suddenly come back?

Lin Huanhuan was puzzled. Shouldn’t she have died in the beast continent?!

She tried to call out to the system.

“Little Brat? Daddy? 438?”

There was no response.

The system was gone too.

Huanhuan’s heart finally sank.

Could everything she had experienced in the beast continent be a dream?

Were Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling just illusory figures?

Did none of her children exist either?

Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but cover her face. Her head hurt, and she felt suffocated.

At that moment, her phone rang in her bedroom.

Lin Huanhuan did not move.

The phone rang again and again. It took a long time for it to stop.

Not long after, the doorbell at home suddenly rang.

The doorbell rang for a long time without any sign of stopping.

In the end, Huanhuan had no choice but to stand up and move slowly to the door. She pulled it open.

When she saw who was standing outside the door, she couldn’t help but freeze.

A woman in her 40s stood outside. She was carrying a large shopping bag filled with groceries.

She looked at Huanhuan and immediately frowned. “Why didn’t you blow-dry your hair after taking a shower? And where are your slippers? Aren’t you afraid of getting sick from the cold if you run around barefoot?!”

Huanhuan opened her mouth. With a lot of effort, she managed to squeeze out a word.

“Mom…”

“What?” Huanhuan’s mother walked into the house with the shopping bag and closed the door. As she changed her shoes, she muttered, “I forgot to take my keys out. I couldn’t get in downstairs. I called you several times, but you didn’t answer. Fortunately, Uncle Zhang from the upstairs unit opened the door downstairs for me. Otherwise, I’d still be standing outside!”

Huanhuan looked at her longingly. She hadn’t seen her mother since she passed away in a car accident when she was 10 years old.

After so many years, she had almost forgotten what her mother looked like.

She had never dreamed that her mother would come back.

After nagging for a long time, Huanhuan’s mother realized that Huanhuan was still standing there in a daze. She said angrily, “Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and put on your shoes! How old are you? Do you still need me to remind you of such a small matter? If I’m not around in the future, what will you do?”

Huanhuan walked over quickly and hugged her mother tightly. “You won’t be gone.”

Madam Lin was stunned by her sudden action.

“What are you doing? Why are you suddenly so clingy? Don’t tell me you did something bad behind my back again? Tell me the truth now. I can consider lenient punishment.”

Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She let go of Madam Lin and rubbed her sore nose. She smiled and said, “I didn’t do anything bad.”

Madam Lin was skeptical. “Really?”

“Really, I’m not lying.”

Madam Lin placed the groceries into the fridge one by one. When she turned around and saw that Huanhuan was still standing there, smiling like a fool, she couldn’t help but urge her again, “Why aren’t you putting on your shoes?!”

Huanhuan obediently put on her slippers and then tidied up the kitchen with her mother.

She rolled up her sleeves. “Let me wash these vegetables. Go rest.”

Madam Lin looked at her suspiciously. “What’s wrong with you today? Why have you suddenly become so sensible? Usually, when I ask you to do something, you just refuse to move.”

Huanhuan chuckled. “You’re my biological mother. I should be filial to you. Go and rest for a while. Leave tonight’s dinner to me.”

“You can cook? But you’ve never gone into the kitchen.”

Huanhuan didn’t know how to explain, so she simply said shamelessly, “I want to cook anyway. Hurry up and go out!”

Madam Lin was pushed out of the kitchen. Before she left, she was still a little worried. “Be careful when you cut the vegetables. Don’t hurt yourself. Stay away from the fire when you cook. If you really can’t do it, let me do it!”

“Just wait and see. I’ll definitely make you a feast later!” Huanhuan closed the door and got busy in the kitchen.

Although she didn’t understand what was going on and why her mother, who had died in a car accident, had suddenly returned, Huanhuan was pleasantly surprised to see her mother again.

She had to take this opportunity to be filial to her mother!

Huanhuan made three dishes and a soup.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables, roasted eggplant, and tomato egg soup.

Every dish looked bright and delicious.

Madam Lin took a bite. Although the food wasn’t especially good, it was far better than she had expected.

She sighed in relief. “My Huanhuan has really grown up!”

Huanhuan kept putting food into her bowl. “It’s been hard on you to take care of me. Eat more. If you like it, I’ll cook other dishes for you tomorrow.”

Madam Lin was especially happy during the meal.

After eating, TV took the initiative to clean the dishes. Then, she sat on the sofa with her mother and watched television.

When Madam Lin saw the dress the female lead in the TV show was wearing, she suddenly remembered something. “Huanhuan, didn’t you say that the zipper of one of your dresses is broken? I bought a zipper when I went to buy groceries today. I’ll go get the dress and help you fix it.”

She worked in a clothing factory and was very good at needlework. She would fix all the clothes at home. It was both convenient and economical.

Huanhuan stuffed the cut fruit into her hand. “Eat first. We’ll talk about the dress another day. I’m not in a hurry to wear it anyway.”

In the evening, Huanhuan said goodnight to her mother.

After lying on the bed, Huanhuan looked at the ceiling. She thought that if this was a dream, she might wake up from it the next time she opened her eyes.
