Author: Mo Wang Sang Sang I felt someone sleeping beside me on the bed at midnight.In the moonlight, the man who was only in his boxers appeared on my bed again.1It was going to drive me crazy.I had been dreaming about the man every night since my mother prayed to the God of Love in an unknown temple to find me a nice husband.But every time I got sleep paralysis. I couldn't move as I watched the man take away my quilt, take over my big bed, and kick me to the floor.At first, I assumed it was a ruse devised by my mother to push me to get a boyfriend.However, when I slept over at my best friend Sarah Freeman's house, I had a dream at midnight that Sarah, who slept next to me, became that man again.What a dream!On the second day, I looked up at the sky with a sad face.Sarah patted me on the shoulder and sincerely suggested, "If you can't prevent it, enjoy it."I was rendered speechless.At night, I dreamed about that man again.I felt helpless as I lay stiffl
6I woke up from my dream.My mom knocked on the door and shouted, "You're going to be late!"It was almost 9 a.m. again.I had been sleeping soundly since the day when Roland appeared in my dream. I couldn't even hear the alarm clock at all.I didn't have time to have breakfast, so I grabbed a carton of milk and some bread and ran out of the house.On the way to work, I kept repeating in my head Roland's words, "After all, you stepped on my feet twice and I didn't feel a thing."My heart beat fast. I wondered if Roland had already recognized me in reality as well.Roland hadn't arrived at the company yet when I arrived. Thinking of my work report, I turned on the computer to start writing it.Dorothy leaned over and teased me, "You work so hard!"I took a bite of the bread and replied, "Mr. Lawson asked me to rewrite a detailed work report."At this moment, a slender figure walked past us.I stopped in my movements stiffly."What's wrong?" Dorothy asked.The door of the
9I quickly covered Roland's mouth in my dream at night when he was about to say something."Shh!" I put my index finger in front of his lips. "Don't speak!"I didn't want to hear his gentle words to me again. I didn't want him to show me his tenderness and vulnerability again. I didn't want to get stuck in the sweet dreams and disappear into him again.I was afraid that one day I wouldn't be able to tell the dream from reality, so I couldn't help but walk in front of him and ask if he remembered me."Huh?" A puzzled look appeared on his face.I froze, slowly withdrew my fingers, lowered my head, and laughed at myself.Forget it. It was naturally an uncontrollable dream. Why should I try to control the man that I had imagined in my dream?I pressed my forehead against his chest and asked, "Why am I the only one who dreams about this?"Why was I the only one who had this dream?He raised his hand to touch the top of my head and said softly, "You are not the only one."Sure en
13After finishing this song, I handed the microphone to my colleague and excused myself from the room.I suddenly heard someone calling me when I walked to the end of the corridor.I turned around and found it was Roland.I'd never seen Roland act like this before. He almost trotted over to me, a little flustered. A curl of black hair fell loosely across his forehead. He was dressed casually as if he were a young man in his early twenties."Mr. Lawson, what can I do for you?" I asked.Roland opened his mouth and said, "You..." After a pause, he asked, "Are you going back now?"I nodded and answered, "Yes, I'm."He lowered his eyes for a moment. He then looked at me again and asked, "Is your boyfriend waiting for you?"I was speechless.Why did Roland in my dream or real life think I had a boyfriend?"No. My bestie is waiting for me," I answered."Oh, I see," he said, taking a few steps closer to me.I smelt a faint smell of alcohol on him."Let's go along!" he said.I w
17I became Roland's girlfriend. Even Dorothy didn't know about it.Speaking of Dorothy, I felt compelled to explain why Roland had been so cold to me all the time.As he said, he, like me, couldn't see my face clearly in his dream.When he first came to my company, he simply thought I looked like the girl in his dream.He later confirmed that I was the girl in his dream when I repeatedly stepped on his foot in the elevator and apologized to him.But at that time, he just felt strange why the girl from his dream would exist in reality. As a result, he blamed himself for being under too much pressure and having fantasies about his subordinate.In addition, he also learned from Dorothy that I had a boyfriend."I've never told Dorothy that I had a boyfriend. How did you ask her back then?" I asked curiously.He cleared his throat. "I just asked her if you had a boyfriend or not."How strange it was!"And then?" I asked again."And then?" he repeated, puzzled."You flirted w
Author: Chen Chen After taking a shower, I walked into my best friend's room with a bath towel around my body.I took out a few pieces of bralettes and asked her which one looked better with my new red dress.My best friend, Adelia Palmer, didn't respond for a long time.Just then, a low and deep voice came from the phone."The black one looks good."1I was going for an interview at Specter Technologies the next day. For this interview, I specially asked Adelia to accompany me to the mall to buy a red dress.Red made me look energetic, and it made me feel positive.In fact, I had worn a red dress during my university entrance exam, my thesis defense, and even when I dumped a jerk.During dinner time, Adelia answered a phone call, and her face immediately fell. It seemed that not even a limited edition bag could cheer her up."Emma, Uncle Shaun is back. I'm going to sleep over at your place tonight."I froze.The ravioli in my bowl suddenly became tasteless as a tal
4The weak couldn't win against the strong. Of course, I couldn't go against Shaun.He dragged me into the mall with a clear target in mind. After a while, Shaun stopped at the entrance of a shop.I raised my head, and an alarm blared in my mind. I immediately understood what Shaun meant when he said he was going to shop with me.Ha.Men.I was certain that men like Shaun, who appeared to be composed and reliable, were actually seducers.Looking at his perfect side profile, I remembered the scene when I first met Shaun.I was in my sophomore year at that time. After hanging out for a whole year during freshman year, Adelia and I established a strong relationship and became best friends.One day, Adelia asked me to accompany her home. When I saw her acting like a thief when she was just going home, I was puzzled.Adelia told me that her uncle was at home that day and that he was the person she feared the most in their family.He was serious and solemn, and only a glance from
7That day, Shaun talked a lot. And I finally realized, after spending so much time with him, Shaun had gained a special place in my heart.Then, Shaun and I became a couple just like that.The first thing that Shaun wanted to do was to teach Adelia a lesson after being in a relationship with me. Yet, I stopped him. I didn't want our relationship to be made public for the time being, and I planned to tell Adelia once I graduated.Nonetheless, I had not made our relationship public until then. Shaun accused me several times of not publicly acknowledging him as my boyfriend and forcing him to become a jerk who dared not tell people about his relationship with his girlfriend.I had no words.I just realized what an awful person I was.Especially on the night of graduation, I was drunk again after attending a gratitude dinner with Adelia.The last scene I remembered was Shaun pressing me against the wall and kissing me."Emma, what are you thinking about? Why is your face blushing
