Cheng Zhiwei had a dream where she stood at the edge of a boat, holding someone. Her body tilted backward and suddenly, she fell into the sea... The water rushed in from all sides, squeezing into every part of her body...
She desperately tried to struggle, but the her in the dream closed her eyes and let her body sink, the seawater choking her airway, the suffocating sensation heavily pressing on her lungs...
Cheng Zhiwei suddenly woke up, sitting up in bed with sweat streaming down her forehead. She reached to wipe it and it felt like she had touched a handful of water.
Her heartbeat pounded in the darkness like thunder.
The very next second, she was wrapped in a blanket and pulled into the arms of Zhou Lin, who had also awakened. His voice was groggy and lazy next to her ear, "Had a nightmare?"
Cheng Zhiwei let herself lie in the crook of his arm, the room dimly lit, everything blurred.
