Chapter 8 A Nightmare

Late autumn night was boundless, and the leaves were fluttering in the wind. In the night sky, the moon hung high, and the starlight was sparse. The whole earth seemed to have fallen asleep.

In the room, Su Liyang was lying quietly on the soft bed, breathing evenly. Suddenly, a black figure appeared beside her bed.

He leaned over to block the faint light projected from outside the window and kissed her gently and slowly. The soft touch made the girl on the bed frown slightly. There was a faint minty smell between his lips and teeth. It fell on her lips without any warning and instantly engulfed her whole body.

The girl opened her sleepy eyes slightly. When she saw the figure in front of her clearly, she showed a charming smile.

She wrapped her arms around Shen Yanfeng's neck and said softly, "You're back?"

"Yes," Shen Yanfeng replied in a low voice. He bent down and gently kissed the corner of her mouth again.

Then, he reached out and wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist and pressed her down. The girl's hands were tightly wrapped around his neck, and she responded passionately to his kisses like dense rain.

After the kiss, the girl opened her eyes in a daze and met the man's amorous eyes. She smiled and stroked the man's broad back with one hand.

The man's heavy breathing surrounded her neck and shoulders. He kissed her gently and slowly along her beautiful neck.

What happened next was even more fierce.

All of a sudden, Su Liyang opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

She gasped for breath with a flushed face. She stretched out one hand to wipe the sweat on her head, and covered her wildly beating heart with the other. She gasped and turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, which was slightly turning bright. After a long time, she came to her senses.

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

Su Liyang picked up the phone next to her pillow and looked at the time. It was 6:20 a.m.

Su Liyang yawned and lay down again, but her mind was full of the dream just now. Shen Yanfeng always appeared in her mind from time to time, making her unable to fall asleep.

Su Liyang sighed softly, sat up again, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed.

She opened the door irritably. Her brows were tightly furrowed and her face was full of displeasure.

At this moment, Shen Yanfeng was coming out of the kitchen with breakfast. When he looked up, he saw Su Liyang standing at the door with an angry face.

He turned to look at the time on the wall and raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "Why did you get up so early?"

Shen Yanfeng stood where he was and looked at Su Liyang, who was frowning. If he remembered correctly, she had woken up around this time yesterday. He remembered that on the night when Su Liyang first came to his home, Tang Shanyan had repeatedly told him that Su Liyang liked to stay up late and sleep late, so he had asked him to try not to wake up Su Liyang when he got up early to go to work.

But looking at Su Liyang, who had woken up so early for the past two days, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Su Liyang glanced at Shen Yanfeng, who was wearing a white shirt, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the dream just now.

She pretended to be calm and cleared her throat, replying, "I had a nightmare."

In retrospect, it was still a terrifying nightmare.

"Come and have breakfast." Shen Yanfeng put the breakfast on the table. When Su Liyang sat down, he asked, "What nightmare did you have?"

Su Liyang who had just picked up the milk and took a sip was so scared by Shen Yanfeng that he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of milk. Fortunately, Shen Yanfeng went to heat up another glass of milk, so he was lucky not to be sprayed by Su Liyang.

Su Liyang coughed and awkwardly pulled out a napkin from the side to wipe away the milk stains on the table.

She looked at Shen Yanfeng, who was slowly sitting down with hot milk in his hand. While drinking the milk, she glanced around guiltily.

Shen Yanfeng saw through her guilty expression and smiled slightly, taking a sip of milk. "What nightmare did you have?"

"I dreamed of you." Su Liyang pursed her lips and looked at Shen Yanfeng.

Shen Yanfeng felt his heart skip a beat, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"What did you dream about me?"

Su Liyang drank up the milk in one gulp and then talked nonsense seriously, "I dreamed that you were entangled by a female ghost and then turned into an evil ghost that chased me everywhere."

“....”

"Especially your face, it scared me to death with its completely changed expression. When I turned around, it scared me so much that my soul almost left my body."

Su Liyang looked at Shen Yanfeng, whose face was getting darker and darker. She said with more and more excitement.

"You don't know that you are biting people everywhere like the unrecognizable zombies in the foreign zombie films. That scene is simply too horrible to look at."

Shen Yanfeng rubbed his temples with an embarrassed expression. He raised his hand and drank up the milk in his hand. He stood up and picked up his coat from the sofa. "I'm going to the hospital."

With the sound of the door closing, Su Liyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Only God knew how nervous she had been just now. She had managed to weather the hardship by talking nonsense outpacing her thinking. If she had directly told Shen Yanfeng that the dream she had was related to him, then her hidden thoughts would have been completely exposed in front of him.

Shen Yanfeng, sitting in the car, was not feeling well. He had a dream last night that woke him up at three in the morning and made him immediately rush to the bathroom to take a cold shower.

Shen Yanfeng sighed helplessly and then started the car and drove away.

As soon as Ji Muyun entered the office, he saw Shen Yanfeng, whose eyes were full of fatigue.

While changing his clothes, he teased Shen Yanfeng, who was sitting at the desk and pinching the corner of his eyebrows. "Hey, Dr. Shen, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

Thinking of yesterday's dream, Shen Yanfeng stopped what he was doing and said, "Yes."

After breakfast, Su Liyang washed the cups and bowls and then went back to bed to scrolling her mobile phone for a while. She also replied to Xia Yan, who knew that she was living with Shen Yanfeng.

After lunch, she tidied up and went to the dance studio not far from here.

Where Shen Yanfeng lived was only a crossroad away from the dance studio of her dance troupe, so it was also very quick to walk there.

When she arrived at the dance studio, there was no one there. Su Liyang came to the locker room and put her bag in the cabinet. Then she sat on the chair in the middle and changed her shoes.

When Yang Miaomiao walked into the locker room, Su Liyang had already changed her shoes.

She glanced at Su Liyang, and her sharp voice rang out in the quiet locker room. "Ah, you're here so early?"

Su Liyang looked up at Yang Miaomiao, who was wearing heavy makeup, and nodded; "I wanted to practice a little earlier so that I could practice more in case of mistakes. The day of the performance is around the corner."

Well, she really didn't want to admit that she had eaten too many kebabs yesterday, so she should pay the price today.

After Yang Miaomiao put everything in place, she turned around and leaned against the cabinet door with her arms crossed, speaking in a sour tone, "Well, you secretly pushed us to overwork."

Su Liyang just smiled and didn't say anything. She got up and left the locker room.

On the way to the dance studio, Su Liyang happened to run into Li Yuefei who was heading to the locker room.

When Li Yuefei saw Su Liyang, her eyes lit up. She quickened her pace and walked up to Su Liyang. "Ah Liyang, since I met you, I have something to tell you."

Su Liyang looked at Li Yuefei in confusion. "Chief, what's the matter?"

Li Yuefei stretched out her hand and pulled Su Liyang to the side of the road. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "I just received a notice that a solo dance will be arranged for the performance in a month. Then, you should practice more recently. I hope you can seize this opportunity at this time."

"Solo dance?" Su Liyang was a little surprised. "Really?"

"Absolutely!" Li Yuefei nodded. "And after this performance, I will quit. I have high hopes for you. I hope you can be my successor."

As the chief dancer, Li Yuefei had dedicated her whole life to ballet. Now, she wanted to travel around the world when she was still young and see Italy and France, where ballet originated and developed.

Su Liyang was so overwhelmed by the successive surprises that she stood there in a daze.

After a long while, she came to her senses and said hesitantly, "Chief, this matter..."

Su Liyang had been learning dance since she was a child, so she was very confident in her professional skills. She had always desired to solo dance and be the chief, but she also clearly knew she didn't have enough experience to do both.

"Liyang, I understand your hesitation," Li Yuefei looked at Su Liyang, "You should know that we all started with no experience. Since I chose to tell you, it's because I know you can do it."

While they were talking, neither of them noticed that Yang Miaomiao, who had already changed her clothes, was standing not far away and listening to their conversation clearly.

Yang Miaomiao walked up to them arrogantly and glanced at Li Yuefei. "What are you talking about? Share with me."

Seeing Yang Miaomiao, Li Yuefei closed her mouth in a panic. Then, in order to cover up her embarrassment, she coughed softly and changed the topic. "Oh, I mean, Su Liyang had a few deep-seated problems when she was dancing."

"Is that so?" Yang Miaomiao chuckled. "I see that Su Liyang's dance is perfect. What's wrong with that? Why don't you tell me? So I can learn from her."

Afraid that Li Yuefei would reject her, Yang Miaomiao added, "After all, Su Liyang won first place in the capital dance competition. If even the number one has issues, then it goes without saying that people like us would have even more problems."

Li Yuefei glared at Yang Miaomiao and said seriously, "All right, stop it. Go to practice dancing."

After that, Li Yuefei left with her bag.

Just as Li Yuefei passed by Yang Miaomiao, Yang Miaomiao said, "Are you afraid that I will find out about the performance in a month?"

Li Yuefei stopped in her tracks. She turned her head and glanced at Yang Miaomiao before leaving.

The members of the group arrived one after another. Su Liyang stood in front of the mirror with her legs pressed down, but there were always people staring at her from time to time. However, when she turned around to check, she didn't see anything. One after another, Su Liyang couldn't be bothered to care anymore. She simply danced along with the music playing from the speaker.

She straightened the back of her feet and stretched her shoulders. When her arms slowly stretched up, the pair of shoulder blades behind her were like a pile of small wings, covered with thin muscles, and one could vaguely appreciate the bulging spine lines.

She walked in circles with the elegant music, like an elegant and noble swan.

When Su Liyang finished practicing and came to the locker room, it was already dark.

"Hey, Su Liyang, we're having a dinner party today. Come join us."

A girl said to Su Liyang as she stuffed the clothes into the locker.

Su Liyang had already changed her clothes. Just as she was about to step out of the locker room, he paused and asked in confusion, "A dinner party?"

"Yes, Yang Miaomiao proposed just now. Everyone is going. Come with us."

The others also agreed. "That's right. Su Liyang, come join us. Let's have a dinner and chat together."

"That's right, that's right. Su Liyang, don't refuse. After all, we haven't chatted together for a long time."

Many people agreed, and Su Liyang was too embarrassed to refuse, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
