Chapter 14: In the dream, she did what she dared not do _1 Chapter 14: In the dream, she did what she dared not do _1 This side, Tang Su entered the room and organized her things first. Afterward, Tang Su took the medication prescribed by Lu Han, drank a glass of warm water, and then went back to the master bedroom to take a shower.
After drying her hair, Tang Su was planning to lie down, take a look at her phone, and then go to sleep, but the moment she picked up her phone, Sun Qing bombarded her with a barrage of WeChat messages.
It started with a video clip. Before Tang Su had a chance to open it, Sun Qing kept sending voice messages one after another.
“Hey, Tang Bao, take a look at this video. We were filmed last Friday.”
“That old geezer, my grandpa, just started interrogating me without any clear reason, asking if I was in trouble. It took me forever to explain, and I’m not even sure if he understood.”
“Forget about Old Master Sun from my family; who would be so bored as to take that video? Aren’t they just overreacting to a police report?”
“Do you think it could be Ye Sichen, that bastard, deliberately getting back at us? No, that doesn’t make sense; his face isn’t even pixelated. So, who could that son of a bitch be?”
“Don’t worry, let me watch the video first,” Tang Su replied with a voice message.
Then, Tang Su opened the video clip, which was edited from various messy angles, making it impossible to tell exactly from where it was shot—it seemed to be from every angle.
Anyway, it was definitely someone who dined at the Qimeng Restaurant that day.
Tang Su played the video twice, each time focusing on the main characters in the one-and-a-half-minute video: herself, Sun Qing, Ye Sichen, and Shen Tian. They were all seen leaving with the police, but Doctor Lu didn’t appear at all.
But Doctor Lu clearly stepped forward, volunteering to cooperate with the police investigation, didn’t he?
So…
The answer in Tang Su’s mind was about to burst forth.
Sun Qing was impatient, and after waiting a bit without a response from Tang Su, she called her directly, “Tang Bao, finished watching the video? Any conclusions?”
“No, probably just someone dining at the restaurant who casually posted it. As for the video briefly trending, it has nothing to do with the three of us; we must have caught some of Shen Tian’s limelight.”
“Shen Tian? What limelight of hers did we catch?” Sun Qing snorted coldly.
“She’s an actress, and although not yet hugely famous, she’s been working hard. Didn’t you say the maid in ‘The Outcast Empress’ was pretty good? That was Shen Tian.”
“Ah? That was her? I didn’t recognize her at all; the difference is too big.”
“Normal, after all, you’ve always been shortsighted.”
“Tang—Su—, are you asking for a beating?”
“Not a beating, I need sleep, I’m really tired. I’m not going to chat with you anymore, goodnight.”
“Wait a second, don’t hang up yet. Didn’t you just say you need sleep? There, hug your pillow and put on that birthday ‘battle robe’ I gave you earlier, then go next door and sleep with Doctor Lu.”
Tang Su blushed, “Sun Qing, you’re such a pervert.”
After scolding Sun Qing, Tang Su hurriedly hung up the phone. If she hadn’t hung up, who knows what more inappropriate nonsense that girl might have spouted off.
This girl, Tang Su really didn’t know what to say about her.
Thanks to Sun Qing, the things Tang Su wanted to do in reality but dared not do, she did them all in her dream.
She dug out the pajama ‘battle robe’ that Sun Qing had given her for her birthday last year, and then, hugging her pillow, she actually went next door and pressed the doorbell of the opposite door with a ding-dong.
That ding-dong sound seemed to ring in Tang Su’s heart, scaring her awake directly.
After waking up, Tang Su was covered in sweat on her back; she held her aching head and thought she was going to die. She actually had a sex dream. From now on, she would not allow Sun Qing to say such unreliable things.
Tang Su, startled awake, couldn’t fall back asleep. It wasn’t even six o’clock yet; she used to sleep until six-thirty when she was in school and had never been this early since becoming an adult.
After taking a shower and washing her clothes, Tang Su went to the kitchen to cook the wontons her dad made with love for today’s breakfast.
After having breakfast, it wasn’t even eight o’clock yet.
Thinking there was plenty of time, Tang Su did a quick clean of the house before heading out to catch the bus.
