Chapter 46 Dreams "In my dreams, there's always a shadow."...

The city lights shone brightly on the car windows as the night grew bustling.

Bai Heng was driving.

The seats in his car were very soft, comfortable and cozy.

Although Sang Li felt it was inappropriate to eat while carrying Lu Jin on her back, she was indeed hungry.

The food shown in the painting doesn't count.

Bai Heng asked, "Have you decided what to eat?"

"I thought you were going to examine me first," Sang Li teased slowly, leaning back in her seat and tilting her head.

Bai Heng smiled and said, "You're perfectly healthy, so why do you keep wanting to get checked out? Didn't you say you wanted to eat steak the other day?"

Sang Li didn't say anything, but cursed Lu Jin in her heart.

She suddenly felt a pang of guilt; if Lu Jin found out, he might just flip the table on the spot.

No, they will definitely look at me coldly.

Then, like a resentful woman who has been abandoned.

Thinking of this, Sang Li couldn't help but shudder.

She was truly being manipulated by this person.

"Let's have barbecue instead." She looked up and gave Bai Heng an embarrassed smile.

"Either is fine." Bai Heng nodded nonchalantly. "The barbecue restaurant recently got A5 snowflake beef and thick-cut beef tongue. You should like them."

"Perfect!"

The barbecue restaurant is still open, but there aren't many customers anymore.

The grill pan quickly heated up, and the waiter placed thick-cut pieces of meat and sauces on it one by one.

Bai Heng skillfully picked up the meat and flipped it over for her. Sang Li took a table full of side dishes and seasonings, then stared longingly at the meat, like a hungry cat that hadn't been chased away.

“I’m planning to take a few days off soon,” Bai Heng suddenly said. “The bureau approved it. A new resort has opened in the mountains. It’s in a good location, quiet, and has hot springs.”

"I'm so envious." Sang Li poked at the seaweed and vegetables. "I want to go to a hot spring too."

You can too.

Sang Li sighed, "Lord Lu Jin is my guardian, and I cannot leave without his permission."

Bai Heng had already guessed this: "So, do you want to go?"

He placed two pieces of crispy, sizzling pork belly on Sang Li's plate.

This is Sang Li's favorite flavor.

Once, while at the Bureau's shelter, she really wanted to eat barbecue and complained to Bai Heng for a long time, looking aggrieved. Taking advantage of an inspection, Bai Heng secretly cooked her some barbecue in his office. Although it wasn't a proper barbecue, Sang Li's eyes lit up. However, the smell of barbecue lingered in Bai Heng's office for a whole week afterward.

"Never mind, just think about it. Have fun." She took a bite of the meat wrapped in lettuce. "But you could bring back some local specialties, if you have any, like fridge magnets or little trinkets, to comfort my young and helpless heart."

“If you want to go,” Bai Heng said softly, “I can wait for you.”

Sang Li didn't reply, but lowered her head slightly.

I don't know why, but when I'm with Bai Heng, I'm never as composed as I am with Lu Jin. To be precise, I seem to have an awkward shyness about me, which is completely unlike my usual self.

Perhaps it's because there's always a natural fear of the medical profession.

And, Bai Heng and he always seemed to maintain a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Bai Heng poured her a glass of hot water and asked in a calm voice, "How have you been feeling lately?"

“It’s not bad,” she said, taking a bite of her curly-shaped bun. “It’s just that I keep having dreams.”

"Dreaming is normal. The brain may experience similar phenomena after dealing with abnormal high stress."

“It’s not that kind of thing.” Sang Li interrupted him, her expression somewhat complicated. “There’s always a shadow in my dreams.”

Sang Li never said anything.

She thought, who doesn't dream?

Even kittens dream.

But later I felt something was strange, because the dreams were similar, they were the same.

I started having these kinds of dreams after I met Amber that day.

I always feel sleepy and can't wake up properly when I wake up in the morning.

However, she didn't tell Lu Jin either.

Ultimately, it doesn't solve anything.
