When Bu Ling finished eating and went to return the lunchbox, everyone in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief.
Watching Buling's retreating figure, some people couldn't help but think to themselves, "This little girl can eat so much! She ate a whole lunchbox of braised pork, a whole lunchbox of rice, and a whole lunchbox of meat dumplings!"
"I don't know how he got so thin?" someone muttered.
No one answered him.
When Buling returned, she didn't notice the stares of the people in the carriage. She walked to her seat, sat down, used her bag as a pillow, leaned back in her seat, and closed her eyes.
The people in the carriage: "..."
Eat your fill and then sleep?
Bling didn't care what they thought. She closed her eyes, relaxed, and quickly fell asleep.
Bling looked at the people coming and going on the street in front of her with a confused expression. Wasn't she on the train? How did she get here?
Oh, she fell asleep on the train.
Is this a dream?
She stretched her arms and kicked her legs, not noticing anything was wrong.
She observed her surroundings and realized that she was in front of a state-run restaurant.
It was midday, and the state-run restaurant was bustling with people.
Bling stepped inside, but the people inside seemed unable to see her.
She walked to the window, about to say something, when she saw a very familiar figure sitting at the window calling out to customers.
She braided the pigtails herself!
The dark-skinned man was someone she recognized!
However, the Bling in this dream wasn't as thin as her; she had fleshy cheeks, new clothes, but her eyes looked very impatient.
Looking at the Bling in her dream, who was ignoring the people who came to order food, Bling felt a bit of a stomachache. She shouldn't be this arrogant, right?
"What's wrong with you, waiter? Don't you know you're supposed to serve the people? How dare you talk to us like that?" Suddenly, a pretty girl with bright eyes stood up and loudly rebuked the arrogant Bu Ling.
When Bling saw herself in her dream, she rolled her eyes with utter disdain and said, "Eat if you want, or leave and wait for me to serve you."
The girl with bright, lively eyes seemed to be a sent-down youth, and her companions were all advising her not to cause trouble.
The girl, looking indignant, tried to reason with her dream self.
The argument between the two attracted the attention of the hotel manager, who, in an attempt to quell the girl's anger, reprimanded Mengli Buling.
Bling watched the farce unfold as if she were watching a TV drama, with the dream version of herself apologizing.
Then, the scene shifts to the same state-run restaurant. Buling looks at the restaurant manager, who says to his dream self with an apologetic expression, "Buling, don't blame me, I had no choice."
In the dream, Bu Ling stormed out of the state-run hotel.
Outside the dream, Bling was completely bewildered.
Suddenly, all the figures around Buling faded away, and the surroundings turned into a misty fog.
Bu Ling thought to herself, "Her dream is quite substantial. As expected of her, she travels through time with a spatial ability—a standard protagonist setup."
Bu Ling was still thinking that her protagonist's life in her wish-fulfillment novel might have started as a waitress.
The white mist around her dissipated, and this time the scene in her dream was a small mountain village, where no one could see her.
However, this time the protagonist is the girl who clashed with his arrogant self at the state-run restaurant.
That girl was indeed an educated youth sent to the countryside.
In the dream, Bling followed that girl.
Watching her get caught in the rain, watching her personality change drastically, watching her argue with her dream self, watching her fall in love with a divorced veteran, watching her and the veteran be all lovey-dovey.
Bling was puzzled as to why she would dream about people who were completely unrelated to her and whom she didn't even know.
Her doubts were quickly answered.
The girl reached the end of her life, closed her eyes with a smile, and finally her body transformed into a book, rushing towards the world outside the play.
Bling was shocked and, in her haste to dodge, was caught off guard and bumped into. Before she could even check herself, she was drawn to the contents of the book.
The book is titled "Marrying a Rough Man in the 1970s".
The story is about Ling Wei, a young intellectual sent to the countryside, who developed a high fever after being caught in the rain. When she woke up, her soul had become Ling Wei, a college student in the 21st century. She was tricked into falling into the water and was rescued by Han Weiguo, a rough and unrefined man who had returned home from military service after his second marriage.
Disturbed by the rumors in the village, she had no choice but to become a contract couple with Han Weiguo. They raised a child together, lived together, and gradually fell in love with each other, eventually becoming a real couple.
The story of how the two of them were admitted to university after the resumption of the college entrance examination, succeeded in starting their own business, and lived a happy life.
Bling was completely confused. What did this have to do with her?
Then, Bling saw the extra chapter.
The side story tells of how, when the male protagonist returned from his military service, he was eating at a state-run restaurant when he encountered the female protagonist arguing loudly with a waiter. He was attracted to her courage at that moment, which is why he agreed to be her fake husband.
Afterwards, in order to avenge the female lead, the male protagonist found a way to replace the waiter at the state-run restaurant. The psychological description of the male protagonist in this part of the book is that he was afraid the female lead would be unhappy if she saw the waiter with whom she had a dispute.
Unlucky waiter Bling: ? ? ?
What happened? Is she that waitress?
The matchmaker for the female and male leads?
Is he also the first one to be slapped in the face by the female lead?
Is it going to get better soon?
Why is it so hard for her to just live a peaceful life as an ordinary person?
Damn you, God! You're not human!
Bling snapped her eyes open, glanced at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, and calmed her racing heart.
Under the surprised gaze of the person opposite him, he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and recalled the dream he had before.
She didn't know the meaning of God letting her have this dream, but thinking about her fate in the dream, a dark feeling flashed through her heart.
