Those Sweet Times
Chapter 52 Part 2
Xiang Nuan was sound asleep that night, but began dreaming early in the morning. The dream was a little strange-- --She dreamt that Shen Zemu fell into the water and drowned……
Xiang Nuan woke up with a start.
After coming to her senses, she tried to make sense of the dream. From a scientific point of view, she probably had that dream because she had read the news about people drowning from falling into holes while skating on frozen lakes. However, if she interpreted the dream from a more superstitious point of view, the dream might have a hidden meaning.
Xiang Nuan was wide awake, picked up her phone and sent a message to Shen Zemu: Xuezhang, don’t go skating at any unsafe places. Better not going near any rivers either.
Shen Zemu replied with a question mark.
Xiang Nuan explained: “I just dreamt that you drowned. / ( T o T ) / ~ ~
Shen Zemu: ……
After a while, Shen Zemu replied: Thanks.
It seemed that he had a difficult time typing the word.
Xiang Nuan replied: “You’re welcome.” She logged off WeChat afterwards and glanced at the news on her phone. She noticed one particular news about multi-car accident on the highway from Lingxi City to Nanshan City last night. Dozens of cars had piled up and many people had died.
That’s terrible……
Wait, last night? Lingxi City to Nanshan City?
Xiang Nuan’s heart skipped a beat, chills came up from the bottom of her feet.
She only remembered that she had too much to drink last night, but then what? Had Lin Chuyan and the others left? If they left last night and that happened on the highway…...No, no, no! ! !
Xiang Nuan was too scared to continue down that train of thought. She was about to lose her mind. She flipped over the comforter and ran down the stairs without bother to put her slippers on, yelling all the while: “Mom! Mom! Something bad has happened! !” Her tone of voice was twisted as if she was about to cry.
Her mother’s voice came from the dining room: “What’s wrong?”
Xiang Nuan ran into the dining room. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a lot of people were sitting around the table: Lin Chuyan, Zheng Dongkai, Yang Yin, and Waiwai…...They were all there looking at her with surprise.
Her suspended heart calmed down. She looked at her friends with reddish eyes: “I was scared to death. I thought…...wuwuwu……”
Ren Danyan said: “What’s wrong with you this early in the morning……” Then she turned to look at the others: “Have some of these har gow. Xiao Yin, Chuyan…...have some, all of you. This place’s har gow is very famous, you have to get in line to buy them.”
Xiang Nuan was still over-excited, still trying to smooth out her breathing. She felt thirsty and went to get some water.
Lin Chuyan looked at her strangely: “Isn’t the floor cold?”
Xiang Nuan then discovered that she didn’t have any shoes on.
A little embarrassed, she hurried to put on her slippers.
Lin Chuyan smiled, lowered his head with curled up lips.
Xiang Nuan asked her mother while having her breakfast: “Where’s dad?”
“He’s gone to a symposium.”
