Chapter 34
Chapter 31 The Saint and the Devil (5)
After being awakened by the nightmare, Thea’s heart was in a mess.
What should she do?
Thea knew that it was just her dream, but she wanted to see Lily, make sure that Lily was intact, give her a hug, and apologize to her.
But Thea’s belief made her restrain herself. She could only recall that dream again and again, analyzing again and again why she treated Lily like that.
This kind of struggle eventually affected Thea’s daily life. On a day of saving the people, Thea was absent-minded several times and almost tied an injured adventurer into a mummy. Or Pastor Beve took the initiative to say that she was too tired during this time. Yes, let her rest for a while and rescue the adventurer from the bandage.
Seeing the adventurer who was bound by herself with a whole roll of bandages, Thea lowered her head in shame, and she didn’t want to stay here anymore.In this case, she would only cause trouble for others, and Thea followed Pastor Beve. Then return to the temple.
In fact, she was not very busy at all. Other pastors were treating more patients than she did. She just kept thinking about other things.
Before she knew it, Thea walked through the back door of the temple to the hillside behind.
The green grass on the hillside is dotted with a few small pink flowers, and the delicate flowers are gently swaying in the breeze. A group of half-aged children on the moat were playing and having fun, and their slapstick noises spread to Thea’s ears along the wind.
This scene is different from the one in the dream, but it also makes people unconsciously relax.
Thea looked at the residents of the town, the struggle and tiredness in her eyes were replaced by gentleness and peace, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
Thea accidentally turned her head to look at the place where the two met in her dream, but she was caught off guard to see a familiar figure.
The black-haired girl in the off-white priest’s robe was sitting in the shade of a tree holding a book, and beside her were several very thick books.
The scene from the dream reappeared in Thea’s mind again. Her breathing couldn’t help but be a little messy, and she sensibly told her that she should leave as soon as the other party did not find herself, but her legs had already moved towards the tree.
Thea realized that she was approaching Lily, and she wanted to turn around and return to the temple. However, the wind blew the girl’s long hair, and the black-haired girl who raised her head to lift up the hair that was blocking her realization inadvertently saw her.
She was discovered.
Lily looked at her in surprise and waved at her actively.
A smile appeared on Thea’s face unconsciously, and when she recovered, she had already walked in front of Lily.
In order to conceal the panic in her heart, Thea took the initiative to speak: “Why did you come here?” After she said that, she realized that her words seemed a little impolite.
But Lily didn’t mind. She smiled and said: “The exam is about to go. Many pastors are checking materials in the library. I like to be quiet. Father Uma told me that the scenery here is good, and few people come here.”
Thea nodded, but she didn’t know what to say to her for a while. Her heart seemed to split into two people. She hugged and kissed Lily in a dream, but alienated Lily in reality, which made Thea a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the contradictions and awkwardness of Thea, Lily took the initiative to speak: “I remember you are going to treat those patients today, please go quickly, don’t take the opportunity to be lazy, the patients still need your help.”
It’s just that they know well that those things don’t need Thea to do, and it has no effect except to make Thea’s voice higher among the people and make Thea more tired.
Thea should have left here along the steps given by Lily, but she felt it was wrong. She should have been a sincere and kind person, but now she deceived and alienated Lily because of her dreams and her emotions. Is it worthy to be a saint?
Thea’s face was confused. Lily noticed her expression, looked at her with concern, and asked: “What’s the matter? You seem to have something on your mind.”
Thea hesitated for a moment, and sat down beside Lily, “I have a question to ask you.”
Lily was slightly astonished when she heard this. After she reacted, she said: “Don’t say that, I can do my best to help you share a little bit.”
Thea pursed her mouth, her blue eyes reflected Lily’s face, and her white cheeks were unconsciously stained with pink, “I’m having some dreams recently.”
Lily listened attentively, without showing weird or ridiculous eyes, which made Thea quietly relieved. She continued: “In my dream, I pushed my fault on someone else and hurt her. I feel terrible.”
It was obvious that she herself gave birth to negative emotions that she shouldn’t have, but blamed all this on Lily, thinking that Lily was a demon bewitching herself, and she killed Lily herself in a dream.
Under Lily’s encouraging gaze, Thea no longer had a psychological burden and said what she was struggling with. “The archbishop has high hopes for me. He has always said that I will become a servant of God in the future and truly follow the side of the God of Light. But I feel that I don’t have the excellent qualities that he said. I lived up to their expectations. I can’t even admit my shortcomings and put my fault on another person.”
At this point, Thea covered her face in frustration.
Lily comforted and patted Thea’s shoulder, and said softly, “It’s not like that. Some people say that dreams are a reflection of our self-consciousness. I think this sentence makes sense. It will reflect your inner state and consciousness. Needs, but no one is perfect, there will be shortcomings if you are a person, why should you punish yourself with what happens in your dreams?”
Thea who listened to the words “needs for inner state and consciousness” took a physical meal. She couldn’t help thinking of the things that happened in the dream, and the person who would hug and kiss her in the dream was sitting beside her comforting her. .
Thea suppressed the messy thoughts. After calming down, she really thought about what Lily had said in the next half of the sentence. She put down her hand and looked at Lily hesitantly.
Lily said: “The dream is not under our control, we cannot predict what it will develop. Your interpretation of the dream is only your personal speculation, it is just a dream.”
“Don’t feel guilty about the things in your dreams, what really matters is now, it’s the truth.” Lily’s words were soft and firm, calming Thea’s chaotic heart.
Thea asked: “But you also said that the dream reflects my heart, I blame others and hurt her, I—”
“Is she really hurt?” Lily smiled slightly, “Did you hurt her?”
Thea suddenly didn’t dare to be just Lily’s eyes, that person was Lily!
She lowered her eyes to cover the emotions under her eyes, “I don’t know, but I guess I did hurt her.”
“Look, isn’t this your heart?” Lily laughed.
What does it mean?
Thea didn’t care about the escaping emotion, her eyes were full of doubts when she looked at Lily.
Lily explained: “You think you hurt her in reality, so hurt her in dreams. Isn’t this a reflection of your heart?”
Thea was stunned for a moment, and she couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Indeed, she had that dream after estranged from Lily. The so-called demons and seductions were all the process of rationalizing her hurt behavior, so at the end of the dream, she killed Lily by herself.
It turned out to be like this!
“I understand.” Thea’s expression eased, and the knot that had been tangled for a long time was finally solved. The burden and self-blame in her heart dissipated a lot, “Lily, you are so smart. If it weren’t for you, I might really not be able to understand.”
Lily smiled mildly, “I am very happy to be able to help you. I am also worried that it will make you fall deeper. Just want to understand.”
Thea couldn’t help but chuckled. The corners of her eyes and brows were full of brisk joy. She looked at Lily, remembering the estrangement some time ago, and said sternly: “I want to apologize to you for the previous thing.”
Unexpectedly, she suddenly changed the subject, Lily was caught off guard and looked a little sluggish, “What?”
Thea was a little embarrassed, but her gaze was very firm, “Before I left you out because of some things, you regarded me as a friend, but I was so sorry to you.”
Lily was taken aback, and a bright smile appeared in her turquoise eyes, “I forgive you.”
This was the first time Lily accepted her apology, but Thea was heartbroken and excited, because she did hurt Lily, and because Lily was willing to forgive her.
“Thank you for being willing to forgive me!” Thea couldn’t help but stretched out her hand to hug Lily’s shoulder. Lily, who was caught off guard, didn’t even remove the book, just lying between the two.
The book hits her heart a little bit pain, Thea suddenly recovered, she quickly let go and sat back to the original position, her cheeks were flushed, “Yes, I’m sorry.”
She actually went to hug Lily, they were just friends!
Only then did Lily recover, and she blinked in surprise, “Why did Thea apologize to me this time?”
Thea spread her hands, and she stumbled a bit, “I was just now, I didn’t mean it, I was just too happy.”
She explained her behavior in a panic, shy and anxious, especially cute.
“Puff…” Lily couldn’t help but laughed, “What’s the big deal about it, isn’t it normal for friends to hug each other?”
Thea was relieved, but also a little disappointed. She quickly suppressed the emotions that shouldn’t be there, and smiled in a concealed manner, “Hoo…That’s good, I’m still worried that you will be angry.”
Lily sighed helplessly: “I don’t know why, you always like to add some strange settings to me. I have never been angry with you. Why do you always think I am angry?”
Thea opened her eyes in a daze, and immediately reacted as if it was indeed the case. Lily had never been angry, but she often apologized to Lily.
Thea thought for a while, and said shyly: “Because I have never made friends like Lily, I am worried that you will hate me.”
“Why?” Lily laughed blankly, “I love a girl like you too late, so how can I hate you?”
like.
The word seemed to hit Thea’s heart, and her heart seemed to hide a few rabbits leaping non-stop, and she couldn’t understand her heartbeat.
Thea murmured and repeated it, but her blue eyes lit up a little, “I like…”
“Yeah.” Lily nodded. “Don’t Thea like me?”
Although knowing that Lily’s likes in her mouth are different from those in her dreams, these words still make Thea couldn’t help but feel happy in her heart. She nodded vigorously, “Like, of course I like you.”
