Chapter 131 Part 2 – You’ve Had Dreams Like That Before?! (II)
Jiang Li was genuinely shocked—this is certainly breaking news! For a moment, she completely forgot to be angry at Tong Yi as curiosity got the better of her. “When did you find out Lin Zhao liked you?”
Wen Wan got very excited at the mention. “On the way from the hotel to the KTV today—that’s when I figured it out.”
Remembering what Tong Yi had said earlier, Jiang Li asked, “Was it because Lin Zhao got jealous, thought you liked my uncle, and then confessed?”
Wen Wan’s cheeks turned red. “Well, he didn’t really confess. He just got jealous when he thought I liked your uncle, and then he told me he’s fallen for a girl, but he can’t say who yet—he said he has to wait a year and twenty-two days before he can confess.”
“Well, that’s kind of romantic.” Jiang Li nodded. But if she analyzed it more carefully, what Lin Zhao said didn’t necessarily mean he liked Wen Wan—it was possible that he liked someone else, but because he’d promised Wen Wan that he wouldn’t date anyone until she was of age, he couldn’t confess to that other girl either.
Still, careful analysis usually ruins the mood. Jiang Li decided not to say any of that to Wen Wan—otherwise, the poor girl probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.
Seeing Jiang Li zoning out, Wen Wan suddenly remembered what Lin Zhao had said when he got jealous earlier, and her eyes lit up. “Jiang Li, I know a way to help you figure out your feelings—to see if you really like Tong Yi.”
“What way?” Jiang Li was curious, though she didn’t expect much.
Her roommate’s eyes sparkled. “Lin Zhao realized how he felt because he thought I liked your uncle and got jealous. So—if Tong Yi told you he liked another girl, how would you feel?”
Jiang Li frowned. “He wouldn’t like another girl. Your what-if doesn’t hold.”
“Duh, that’s why it’s a what-if! Just imagine—if he did like someone else, would you be upset?”
Jiang Li: “…”
‘If Tong Yi liked another girl, would I be upset?’
Unable to come up with an answer, she simply gave up and pulled the blanket over her head, deciding to force herself to sleep.
Wen Wan noticed her turtle-hiding-under-the-shell response and didn’t push further. She already knew the answer anyway—Jiang Li would definitely be upset. Back when they went skiing, Jiang Li got mad and gave Tong Yi the cold shoulder just because she thought he wanted another girl’s contact info.
Still, this was something Jiang Li had to sort out on her own. No one else could help her with it.
Three minutes later, Jiang Li threw off the blanket and took deep breaths. Only when she heard the steady breathing from the bed next to hers did she realize Wen Wan had already fallen asleep.
When did Wen Wan’s sleep quality get this good?
Whatever—she should try to sleep too. Even if there were no exams or classes tomorrow, it still wasn’t worth staying up too late.
Sleep!!!
…
Tong Yi lay in bed, staring at the “Good night” text he had sent, staying wide awake for hours. He was sure Jiang Xiao Li had seen the message, but since she didn’t reply, it meant she was really angry; otherwise, she would’ve cursed him out and vented her frustration!
‘Is this the calm before the storm, or has Jiang Xiao Li truly decided to ignore me?’
‘No—I couldn’t just sit and wait for disaster!’ He thought silently. With Jiang Xiao Li’s personality, if he didn’t appease her soon, things would only get worse!
With that realization, he sat up, put on his shoes and coat, and prepared to go out.
Lin Zhao, already half-asleep, heard the rustling from the next bed and asked sleepily, “You’re not seriously going to find Jiang Li in the middle of the night, are you?”
Tong Yi replied coolly, “Don’t be stupid.”
“Then where are you going?” Lin Zhao asked again.
“Bathroom,” Tong Yi answered curtly.
Lin Zhao looked confused. “The bathroom’s in the room. Why are you heading out? And who wears a coat to the bathroom?”
Tong Yi: “…”
‘Why I never noticed before that Lin Zhao is such a chatterbox?!’
Still, after thinking it through, it was indeed already very late. Jiang Xiao Li was an early sleeper—if he disturbed her now, she’d probably get even angrier.
So he turned and walked toward the bathroom instead. As he passed by Lin Zhao’s bed, he muttered, “Drank too much, kind of out of it.”
Lin Zhao just gave an “oh” and didn’t say anything else.
After the bathroom trip, Tong Yi returned to bed and lay there, unable to sleep for almost the entire night.
The next morning, he got up early, washed up, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and waited outside Jiang Li’s room.
…
Jiang Li had tossed and turned for nearly two hours before finally falling asleep. While that didn’t count as insomnia for most people, for her, it was unprecedented.
Her biological clock woke her up the next morning at her usual time. After a quick wash and getting dressed, she pulled the groggy Wen Wan out of bed. “If you don’t get up now, that boy who’s so in tune with your heart might start worrying.”
Wen Wan immediately perked up. “Right! I need to build a habit of going to bed and waking up early!”。
After getting ready, they prepared to head out. But as soon as Jiang Li opened the door, she saw Tong Yi standing there, smiling at her in a fawning way.
She frowned. “When did you get here?”
He handed her the plastic bag in his hand. “I just got up, too. These are the soup dumplings you’ve been into lately—I went downstairs and got them fresh. You should eat them while they’re hot.”
Jiang Li told herself not to accept anything from this scumbag and replied in a very aloof tone, “I don’t like soup dumplings anymore.”
Tong Yi froze for a moment but quickly recovered. “Then what would you like? I’ll go get it for you right now.”
Jiang Li gave him a cold stare. “I want to drink a few shots of baijiu, then beat you into the hospital, and pretend I don’t remember anything afterward. Would you go get that for me?”
Tong Yi: “…”
Well, she did get angry—but that was to be expected. What he did last night really was over the line, it’d be much scarier if she wasn’t mad.
With a low voice, he spoke up. “Actually, I can explain.”
Jiang Li’s tone remained icy. “Go ahead. I’m listening.”
“The truth is… I do remember what happened last night. But I thought I was dreaming, so…” He looked at her cautiously.
“You’ve had dreams like that before?!” Jiang Li looked genuinely shocked. The fact that he thought it was a dream meant he’d had similar dreams before!
And the way he acted last night—so smooth and natural—he was clearly a repeat offender!
“…!!!” He’d come to explain, but every word only made things worse—like handing her a knife and then turning around to offer his back.
Was Jiang Xiao Li going to think he was some kind of pervert who kept having those kinds of dreams for no reason?
Granted, he had dreamed of her more than once or twice… but it wasn’t always that kind of dream! Not that she’d believe that, anyway.
Wen Wan, who had been listening silently to their conversation, glanced at Tong Yi, then at Jiang Li, and asked in a very small voice, “Are the dreams you two are talking about even appropriate for a minor like me to hear?”
