Chapter One: She Actually Dreamed of Jiang Cheng
At the end of August, the summer heat was still intense.
The air conditioning in the room was set very low.
Pei Xi suddenly sat up in bed, his fingers gripping the blanket tightly, his face pale with fright, and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
She gasped for breath, clutching her chest, trying her best to pull herself out of the dream.
His eyes were filled with the panic that had not yet dissipated.
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
She actually dreamed about Jiang Cheng.
Her brother, Pei Zhi, is the person she hates the most.
As everyone knows, the two are classmates, both have good grades and are handsome. The debate about who is the school heartthrob has never stopped from the first year of high school to the third year.
However, the two have completely opposite temperaments. Pei Zhi is the captain of the school basketball team, a typical social butterfly with great personality traits, and is usually very popular.
Jiang Cheng, however, always kept to himself and looked at people with an icy coldness, as if no one could catch his eye.
In short, they are two extremes.
Recalling the dream he had just had, Pei Xi instinctively shivered.
The Jiang Cheng in the dream is not the current Jiang Cheng. According to the information in the dream, he founded his own game company at a young age, and the games developed by the company are very well-known and are almost popular everywhere.
He led her to a beautifully decorated princess room, where even the sheets and wallpaper were her favorite pink.
His fingertips gently caressed her face, stroking it delicately; even the warm touch felt incredibly real.
Those usually cold eyes held emotions she couldn't understand.
It was surging yet restrained, almost overflowing.
Then he murmured to her, "Do you like it here? Stay here and stay with me forever, okay?"
The deep, husky voice penetrated her ear canal, sending shivers down her spine and sending shivers through her body.
Before she could answer, she was startled awake.
Pei Xi unconsciously clenched the blanket in her hands.
She shook her head vigorously, trying to banish the image from her mind.
She's gone mad, she must be insane to have such a dream.
Pei Xi took a few deep breaths and turned to look out the window.
As dusk settled, the room was dimly lit, with only the light from the streetlamp outside the door filtering in.
Feeling extremely thirsty, Pei Xi threw off the covers and got out of bed, intending to go downstairs to get a glass of ice water.
The Pei family home is very large, and the entire house, from its hard furnishings to its various decorations, is extremely stylish. As you walk down the stairs, the living room lights are on, and the crystal chandelier, worth a six-figure sum, is desperately emphasizing its value for money.
"Holy crap, great shot!"
"Get back on defense! Be careful and get back on defense!"
The sound of Pei Zhi watching the ball game could be heard from the living room.
Pei Xi went to the kitchen to pour water, took a few big gulps, and walked over with the cup, only to see the person sitting on the sofa.
Wearing a clean and crisp white t-shirt and jeans, her long legs seemed to have nowhere to stretch out, draped over the coffee table. Judging by her height, she was over 185cm tall, and her figure was excessively good.
Her profile is smooth, her eyes are slightly upturned, her eyelashes are long, her nose is high and straight, and she looks lazy and nonchalant.
In short, he is handsome in every way, and anyone who sees him will be swooning for a few seconds.
Pei Ruoyun was pregnant, and the brother and sister were a little over a year apart, each more beautiful than the other.
Upon seeing Pei Zhi, Pei Xi was reminded of the dream he had just had.
He unconsciously gripped the cup in his hand a little tighter.
Just then, Pei Zhi noticed her, his handsome brows furrowing slightly. "Why is your face so pale? Did you have a nightmare?"
Pei Xi paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Yes."
Pei Zhi sat up abruptly, frowning as he asked, "What kind of dirty thing did you dream about?"
Pei Xi marveled at Pei Zhi's ability to launch precise attacks without any visual range.
She shook her head. She couldn't tell him about her dream, so she vaguely replied, "It's nothing."
Pei Zhi looked at her suspiciously. Pei Xi's skin was already fair and delicate, like the finest porcelain, but now it was even more excessively fair.
She has almond-shaped eyes with clear amber pupils. When she looks at people, her eyes are sweet and a little naive. When she frowns slightly, it makes people unconsciously want to protect her.
A hint of worry crossed Pei Zhi's eyes. He picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
He reached out and patted the spot next to him, then opened his arms to Pei Xi.
He lowered his voice and chuckled, "Scared? Come here, let your big brother give you a hug."
Pei Zhi is tall with broad shoulders. Although he looks a bit nonchalant leaning on the sofa, his embrace gives a sense of security.
Pei Xi walked over and gently hugged him.
The white T-shirt emitted a fresh fragrance and felt warm from my body. The panic I had felt earlier was actually suppressed, and I felt a sense of security.
She felt a stroking sensation on her head; it was Pei Zhi's large hand touching her hair.
He repeated it like a mantra: "Touch its fur, it won't scare you, touch its fur, it won't scare you..."
Pei Xi was amused by him, and the gloom from before was completely swept away.
She released Pei Zhi, who, unaware of what was happening, tried to continue offering words of comfort.
"Don't worry, dreams are always the opposite of reality."
Pei Xi recalled the dream he had just had; what if it were reversed...?
She imprisoned Jiang Cheng?
Hmm, that's even scarier!
Just as he was about to speak, the phone rang. Pei Zhi glanced at the caller ID and immediately answered. A young voice, sounding anxious, came through the phone: "Pei Zhi, those guys from No. 5 Middle School are here again. We're all at the basketball court, and we're one short. Hurry up and come!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi jumped to his feet. "Wait for me, I'll be right there!"
He hung up the phone, looked down at Pei Xi, and saw her pale face. He was really worried about leaving her at home now.
After hesitating for two seconds, Pei Zhi said urgently, "Come on, your brother will take you with him!"
