Xu Weilai rubbed her eyes, but he was still there. She closed them and opened them again, and still, he was lying there quietly.

In the three years that she had been away, she used to dream of Gu Yu every night at the start. But every time she saw him in her dreams, he was cold and untouchable, mocking her, despising her, and making her very sad.

Later on, perhaps it was because she was unwilling to think of him any longer, but he had gradually disappeared from her dreams.

Tonight, she was dreaming of him again.

It was probably because this was a rare occasion, that she was drunk and unable to control her innermost emotions, that he had once again appeared in her dreams.

Fortunately, this time around, he wasn’t glaring coldly at her or ridiculing her, and she was free to look her fill of him.

Xu Weilai subconsciously inched closer. She kept her eyes trained on that handsome face, and her hand slowly reached out. The tip of her finger landed on his brows, and she stroked it gently.

She trailed her finger down his eyebrow, eyes, nose, and lips, down to the contours of his cheeks. Her actions were light as a feather as if he were a fragile piece of porcelain that could shatter at the slightest strength.

It was so rare that she had a sweet dream with Gu Yu in it; she didn’t want to wake up so soon.

Had she missed Gu Yu too much? Why… did this feel so real? She could almost feel the warmth under her fingertip, and the warm breath coming from the man…

She leaned her face over to his, intending to scrutinize if he was indeed real. Just when her face was inches away from his, Gu Yu’s eyes suddenly shot open.

His eyes were the color of black ink. They looked dark and heavy, and as his gaze penetrated her, Xu Weilai’s heart skipped a beat and she froze.
