Leng Yebai felt a pang of regret. They had been imprisoned together for many days in the dream, so why hadn't he asked her name beforehand?
He pressed his temples again, took a deep breath, and felt like he was going crazy.
That was just a dream.
How could the people in my dreams be real?
Leng Yebai slowly exhaled and stood by the window of the building, looking down.
People come and go downstairs, just like every day; everyone is busy.
Suddenly, Leng Yebai's eyes widened, and he took a step forward, his eyes almost touching the window.
Downstairs, a girl and a boy walked past the building, chatting and laughing.
Her outline was blurry; Leng Yebai couldn't even see her eyes, yet his heart pounded uncontrollably.
The girl's face was so familiar, it was etched in his mind; he had seen her before.
Right there in that absurd dream!
She said, "Why don't we die together?"
Leng Yebai gave the girl downstairs a deep look, then strode out of the office.
As he walked, Leng Yebai started running.
The elevator was still on the first floor; he was on the eighteenth floor.
Leng Yebai didn't have time to wait for the elevator to come up and ran towards the stairs.
His heart was pounding violently, but he didn't know why.
You step down three or four flights of stairs, but there are still flights of stairs leading downwards.
For the first time, Leng Yebai complained that the building was too tall and the stairs were too long.
The suit he was wearing restricted his movements. Leng Yebai unbuttoned his suit jacket with one hand and took the jacket in his hand, but his feet did not stop moving.
Sixteenth floor, tenth floor, fifth floor...
When Leng Yebai ran down to the first floor, his cold and stern face was covered in sweat.
"Mr. Leng, is there anything you need...?"
The security guard on the first floor cautiously asked the president, who had run out of the stairwell.
"unnecessary!"
Leng Yebai replied coldly without pausing and quickly walked towards the gate.
The security guard scratched his head, glanced at the staircase with surprise, and then at the elevator that was working normally.
"The elevator isn't broken! What's the matter that's causing you such a rush, Mr. Leng?" the security guard muttered under his breath.
Mr. Leng was the most serious person in the entire building, and he had never seen Mr. Leng so out of control.
At the building entrance, Leng Yebai, holding a suit jacket, quickly scanned the entrance with his eagle-like eyes.
The girl from just now has disappeared.
"Mr. Leng, may I ask you—"
One of them glanced at Leng Yebai, who was panting heavily, with surprise, and quickly went over to strike up a conversation.
He was just a lowly employee at Wangyang Company. If he could catch the president's eye, his future career would surely rise accordingly!
"Get out of the way!"
Leng Yebai glanced coldly at the man who approached him, then strode off in the direction the girl had gone.
The man was startled by Leng Yebai's icy gaze and stood rooted to the spot.
Ignoring the surprised looks from others, Leng Yebai stared intently ahead and ran from one end of the street to the other, disregarding his image.
Leng Yebai has striking features, and his professional suit gives him the air of a restrained, ascetic male god.
Such an outstanding man running around on the street attracted the attention of a crowd.
Leng Yebai paid no attention to the gazes of those people, quickening his pace and staring intently ahead, feeling that his steps were too slow.
Upstairs in the building opposite Wangyang Company, Bai Yifan watched the man running downstairs with a suit in his hand with curiosity, tilting his head slightly.
"Sis, why is that person running around in the street?" Bai Yifan asked curiously, glancing at Leng Yebai again.
Bai Xizhu pushed a cart full of rice, flour, and snacks, and glanced downstairs, only managing to catch a glimpse of a tall, upright figure.
"It's probably one of his cats or dogs that got lost. Don't worry about the details. Let's get another cart and buy more!"
The more serious and proper a man appears, the more likely he is to be a pet owner who loves animals.
Bai Xizhu glanced downstairs, her eyes then shining as she looked at the dazzling array of goods in the supermarket.
Chocolate, bread, canned goods, drinks...
Any one of these things is better looking than the man jogging downstairs!
"oh!"
Bai Yifan obediently walked towards where the stroller was, thinking to himself that he would need to get a few more cans of formula and diapers later.
Buy seven or eight pacifiers, that should be enough!
The siblings returned home laden with purchases, so much so that they had to have a local courier deliver them to their door.
Neither of them was idle; they each carried two large bags of snacks.
This battle completely drained Bai Yifan's coffers.
As the two were walking home from the supermarket entrance, Bai Yifan bumped into Bai Xizhu and pointed to the entrance of the building across the street.
A tall, imposing man slowly walked into the building, his back view looking somewhat forlorn.
"Sis, he's that Running Man guy!"
Bai Yifan whispered something in Bai Xizhu's ear.
Bai Xizhu glanced at the man's back and shrugged. "We don't need to run around much now, but everyone will have to run around eventually."
If you can't outrun them, you'll become food for the zombies.
Bai Yifan sighed and silently picked up the milk powder he had chosen for himself; only milk powder could give him some comfort.
"Hello, Mr. Leng!"
The security captain greeted Leng Yebai with his head held high and chest out.
"Produce today's surveillance footage."
Leng Yebai rubbed his temples, a hint of fatigue on his usually aloof face.
Was it really just a dream, that the person was a figment of my imagination, and that such a person didn't actually exist in the world?
He ran back and forth on the street several times, disregarding his image, attracting a lot of attention, but he still couldn't find that person.
Could it be that my obsession is too deep, and I'm already hallucinating?
"Yes, sir!" The security captain saluted and jogged toward the security room to retrieve the surveillance footage.
"Mr. Leng, what are your orders?"
A man in a suit scratched his head and secretly glanced at the sweat on Leng Yebai's forehead.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the company: Boss Leng was running wildly through the streets in broad daylight!
All that's missing before I'm running naked is a set of clothes!
"Secretary Zhao, please move my office to the first floor."
Leng Yebai glanced at the elevator and walked towards an empty room on the first floor.
The room's large window faced the street directly outside, and no matter how much soundproofing was done, it couldn't block out the noise from outside.
After all, there's a large chain supermarket right in front of the main entrance, and the bustling crowd outside can easily affect one's mood while working.
This office had been vacant for a long time. I never expected that someone as aloof as President Leng would choose to work here.
Secretary Zhao looked at Leng Yebai's retreating figure with a puzzled expression, and quickly responded.
"Mr. Leng, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, Secretary Zhao jogged towards the elevator to wait for it.
On the other side—
Bai Xizhu and Bai Yifan slumped on the sofa, surrounded by piles of snacks in front of them and stacks of rice, flour, and oil at their feet.
Bai Xizhu waved her hand, and all the food in the room was stored in her spatial storage. Then, the two of them disappeared from the spot.
