...
It's already ten o'clock in the evening.
In the time Gu Yuan was waiting for Chi Yu to arrive, she removed her makeup, took a shower, and did her skincare routine. After finishing all of this, Chi Yu still hadn't arrived. Gu Yuan didn't rush him, so she went to the cinema room downstairs to watch a movie.
Before going to the cinema room, she had instructed Uncle Xiang to let Chi Yu through when he arrived and to let him come to the cinema room to find her.
Recently, with work being so tiring, Gu Yuan was extremely sleepy. She fell asleep after watching only a third of the movie. In her state of drowsiness, she wasn't very alert and didn't even realize when Chi Yu sat down beside her.
In that short time she was asleep, Gu Yuan had a dream.
In the dream, Chi Yu was both there and not there.
It's hard to describe what kind of dream it was, so for Gu Yuan, it was a nightmare.
