Chapter 20

A sweet call in the morning

X year, 4 February

Weather: Sunny

As I was exhausted from playing too much yesterday night, I slept till the sun was three poles high. Sleeping in feels so good (～￣▽￣)～

I turned on my phone to see the time but the moment my screen lit up, I was overwhelmed by all the celebratory messages. The company’s staff were wishing me happy chinese new year, my business partners were wishing me happy chinese new year, even people whom I usually don’t keep in touch with were sending me these messages.

“I don’t know what’s the use of sending these messages, does it even add to the festivity? “ I broadcasted a celebratory message while complaining.

Can’t help it, there were too many people sending me messages, if I opened them one by one, I wouldn’t even be able to finish it by dusk.

I shifted my posture and opened a group chat which I named ‘Red Packets’, and sent red packets to everyone in the chat. They are all my nephews and nieces who usually call me uncle, so it’s expected of me to send them some red packets during the new year.

But then again, there were already so many relatives and friends around me who have kids already?!

QAQ Why am I the only single dog left…

Finally, as I was reaching the last of the list, I realised there was one little cutie who didn’t send me a celebratory message. This little cutie is none other than my sand sculpture childhood friend, Wu Yunfei.

I did not plan to add him to this group at first, but he insisted on being added. He was even saying things like ‘Who isn’t still a baby’ and ‘I am simply collecting money in advance for my future son’. I was too lazy to argue with him, so I just added him to this group and whenever I would send red packets to the little babies in the group, I would also send one to this ‘Big baby’. What else can I do? After all, he has the mental age of a three-year-old.

But this time, I didn’t send a red packet to him, and gave him a call instead.

That guy played so hard yesterday, as if he was on drugs, so he’s definitely not up yet!

He’s always disturbing my peaceful dreams early in the morning, today I’m going to make him experience the pain of being disturbed awake from one’s beauty sleep!

I waited for very long before that guy picked up the call and I knew that he wasn’t fully awake yet the moment I heard his voice.

I tried hard to control my laughter and asked purposely, “Did you sleep well?”

I thought he would be angry and didn’t expect that he would tell me in a dazed voice that he slept quite well and he even dreamt of me. I realised that his mood was quite good, so I didn’t have the heart to continue teasing him. I apologised for calling so early and disturbing his sleep.

“It’s okay, I feel very happy hearing your voice.” He laughed lightly, with a hint of indolence in his voice.

I actually felt like my face was heating up upon hearing his voice.

This guy is too good at flirting ba?!

Even a big guy like me got flirted with, if the ladies heard this, wouldn’t they fall head over heels in love with him?

I didn’t know how to reply to him, so I swallowed my saliva and told him to continue sleeping.

Yet this guy suddenly had the energy to ask me if I dreamt of him yesterday night.

I thought for a while, it seems like I did not dream yesterday. But he already dreamt of me, it wouldn’t be good if I did not dream of him.

So after thinking for a bit, I lied and told him I also dreamt of him yesterday.

“Maybe both of us even had the same dream.” That guy mumbled into the phone.

I instinctively asked what kind of dream he had, but he refused to say anything and tried asking what I dreamt of instead. I did not even dream yesterday, so I had nothing to say, and also refused to tell him anything.

That guy heard that I refused to tell him about my dream and started laughing. But it wasn’t the kind of loud and boisterous laughter, it was the kind of muffled giggles when we laugh into our blankets.

“I suddenly realised that perhaps both of us really had the same dream… It would really be great if they were the same…” He said softly, like he was in a daydream.

Thanks for waiting everyone!
