Chapter 14: I’m going to capture the bad guy (2/2)

Qing Tan building A, 16th floor, room 1804. I have never been there before.

I gradually became more and more sleepy. Today was truly too shocking and disturbing. I leaned against the headboard as I continued to watch Tom play with Sheyu. Slowly, I sank into slumberland.

I had a dream. And Suyang was in it.

It wasn’t a dream located at a specific place. The background was pure white. In my dream, Suyang was wearing a loose senior high school uniform as he stood in front of me. He yelled, “Why are you standing there like a fool? Come on!”

I was astonished. I watched him attentively as I slowly raised my finger to point at myself, “Are you talking to me?”

Suyang lovingly chuckled and took huge strides towards my way. He placed his hand and elbow on my head as he gently leaned against me. “You foolish girl, of course I am speaking to you!”

“Why are you and me….” Since our proximity was very close, I could clearly feel my cheeks flushing. Furthermore, I was no longer able to shift my sight away from Suyang’s facial features.

“If you’re going to remain so stiff and motionless, I’m going to disappear.” Suyang softly threatened.

I shook my head, “You will disappear?”

I wanted to test him, so I tried to grab his hand. But I didn’t manage to grab onto anything. Instead, Suyang’s body was slowly turning into a semi translucent state in front of me.

“You…”

“I told you not to be so stiff and motionless. I’m going to leave first.” I saw Suyang touch my head, yet I didn’t feel a thing. I hopelessly stared as his smile dissipated in front of me little by little….

In the end, I was all alone in the white space.

The white space no longer felt innocent. I felt as if I had been placed in a perplexed world.

What was our relationship in my dream?

I had no idea. But I knew in the dream, new feelings had arisen. It was different from how I felt towards him in real life. Instead of being all upset and driven the moment I see him in reality, it was a maidenly impulse that should not be in a person of my age.

“Goldfish! Wake up….” My eyes were shut. I heard someone lightly calling me.

Surprisingly, last night, I fell asleep with my laptop wrapped in my arms. I opened my drowsy eyes and the first thing I noticed was Suyang leaning by the door. He had a glass of milk in his hand.

“Are you an alarm clock? Everyday, you punctually wake me up in the morning…” I grumbled as I got out of bed in a whoosh.

I got up too swiftly and my long weedy hair covered my face like a female ghost. I glared at Suyang through the gaps.

“Last night, I called Shaoqian. He told me that after humans go through a horrific experience, they tend to turn unstable and treat everyone as an enemy; especially weak and fragile girls. I am certain that you do not belong in the “weak and fragile” category, but he insisted that I need to take the time to comfort you, tolerate you, and understand you.”

“So are you prepared to comfort me? Tolerate me? And understand me?” I took the rubber band from my arm and gathered my hair to tie it together. Then, I stepped into my slippers and dragged my feet over as I stood in front of Suyang with my messy hair and dirty face. I lifted my head and looked straight at him.

After Suyang sized me up and down for a while, he sighed. Then, it was as if he had made some sort of resolution. He lifted the glass of milk like a display, and said, “I specifically warmed this up for you.”

I am sure he had just gone through a lot of internal struggle.

“Thank you.” I took the glass from him and finished the milk in one go. Then, I squeezed the glass back into his hand. “But if you truly want to treat me better, could you please stop casually opening my bedroom door? Let me wake up naturally. Please.”

Suyang gave me a “you’re expecting way too much” expression as he sternly stated, “This is the only time I am treating you well.”

“You!” I pointed my finger at Suyang, but he grabbed hold of it. When he released my hand, I had an extra tissue in my hand.

He turned his head and walked away without looking back.

I waved the tissue and asked, “What does this mean?”

Suyang’s back view had already disappeared from my sight. His voice echoed from the kitchen. “Your mouth…”

Subconsciously, I touched the corner of my mouth. Ugh...he saw me in a gross state again.

I recklessly wiped my mouth with the tissue as I ran to the washroom to wash my face and rinse my mouth. Then, I woke Sheyu up. She had dozed off in the corner while crouching.

“We have to go now!”

With Sheyu right behind me, I hurriedly ran towards the front door to change shoes.

Suyang was on the couch playing with the tablet. But the moment he saw my movements, he came over and asked, “Where are you going now?”

“I’m going to capture the bad guy.”
