In the bar, Yun Li was so drunk that she could barely stand. She sat in a booth, her eyes hazy, the world around her a blur. Qin Nianchu and Chen Jin Xiu had also had too much to drink; they leaned against Yun Li's shoulder. A man approached, his gaze revealing ill intentions, but he was quickly blocked by Qin Nianchu's friend.
When Qin Nianzhe arrived and saw the three of them in such a state, he ran a hand through his hair in frustration. Senior Shen also showed up, but Chen Jin Xiu was too far gone, and since Qin Nianchu's friend didn't know Senior Shen, he wouldn't let him take Chen Jin Xiu away. It wasn't until Qin Nianzhe arrived that they managed to get Chen Jin Xiu out.
Yun Li felt as if she were on a boat, swaying back and forth, making her nauseous. But soon the swaying lessened, and she found a comfortable spot to lie down and sleep. The surroundings felt familiar; the mixed scents of the bar faded away, replaced by something fresh and natural. It was a scent she recognized but couldn't quite place.
Suddenly, the sensation of swaying returned, accompanied by a cold breeze. She curled up, seeking warmth. Before long, the swaying feeling disappeared. The boat transformed into a soft bed, and the familiar scent grew faint.
She fell into a deep sleep, but it wasn't long before she began to feel uncomfortable; she was hot. She threw off the covers, only for them to seemingly come alive and cover her again. Annoyed, she pouted and tossed the blanket aside once more, but it stubbornly returned to envelop her.
Muttering curses under her breath in a barely audible voice, she wondered what was going on. A light laugh made her half-open her eyes; her eyelids felt heavy. She hadn’t had a full night’s sleep in days, and after drinking, her drowsiness intensified.
It felt like a dream had shifted again—where was the boat? Oh right, it had turned into a bed. Dreams were truly remarkable; even blankets could be sentient.
As she thought this, she tried hard to see if she was at sea again but could only manage to open her eyes slightly. In the dim light, she caught a glimpse of a face silhouetted against the light; she couldn't make out the features but felt an odd familiarity.
Something cool touched her face, soothing her. She leaned into it but then it vanished. Frowning, she reached out to search for it and ended up bumping her face against something warm.
Another light laugh echoed softly in the air.
She furrowed her brows a little deeper. Who disturbed my sleep?
Struggling to open her eyes, she saw that familiar outline again. Who was it?
As the figure gradually became clearer, her breath caught in her throat, and a pang of heartache struck her.
Even in my dreams, he occupies my thoughts—how infuriating.
She gritted her teeth and reached out to push him away, but she lacked the strength. Just as her hand fell, it was caught by a pair of long, bony fingers.
The warmth of his palm against hers sent a chill through her.
His thin lips pressed gently against her forehead, and Yun Li looked at him in confusion, murmuring, "This dream feels so real."
A dream? He was taken aback. Did she think all of this was just a dream?
Yun Li struggled to prop herself up and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him.
Let me sink into this dream just one last time!
It had always been my secret crush; just having experienced it was already a stroke of luck.
There were no regrets—only a sense of unwillingness and sadness.
I will get through this; I will find my way out.
She reassured herself.
This kiss felt real, more real than anything else.
This was the most vivid dream I’ve ever had.
In the dream, he held her back tightly, kissing her with urgency and passion; his hands seemed to tremble.
How strange.
The room felt even hotter now, her cheeks flushed and sweat dampening her hair.
It was sweltering; she wanted water.
It felt like being trapped in a steam room, suffocating and struggling to breathe.
