"Hey, wake up. The boss came to the office just now."
Amidst the haze, a familiar voice came from afar, and his shoulder seemed to be pushed twice. Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes in a daze. She blinked a few times and was stunned for a few seconds. Only then did the voices around her enter her head like a tidal wave.
On the computer screen in front of her, the image of the sleeping Windows kept changing. It was the big peony that she had been looking at for more than a year. Lin Sanjiu rubbed her eyes.
Her eyelids were pulled, her arms were slightly numb, and the blood flow in her legs was impeded due to sitting still for a long time. All kinds of sensations gradually awakened in her body. The confusion she felt when she first woke up gradually faded.
"Wow, you really slept like a log. We have already gone out for lunch, but you are still sleeping." The colleague who spoke just now peeked out from the cubicle next to her. He smiled ambiguously, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Where did you go? "
Lin Sanjiu stared at him blankly with her amber eyes. This male colleague was very friendly to the women in the office. In other words, he was a little flirtatious.
"Wait, where am I?"
Lin Sanjiu shuddered. She quickly looked around her. As if she had been electrocuted, she sprang up from her chair.
However, she did not feel the familiar and strong support that she had expected. Instead, her body felt heavy and uncontrollable. She knocked her calf against the corner of the cabinet, causing Lin Sanjiu to suck in a breath of air in pain.
"Ah..."
The pain woke her up instantly. Lin Sanjiu noticed the surprised expression on her male colleague's face from the corner of her eye. She looked around her and exhaled slowly, "It's nothing. I think I just had a dream."
"It should be a dream, right?"
Lin Sanjiu thought about it uncertainly the moment she said that.
The rich and handsome boyfriend that she killed, the dried corpse under extreme heat, the horrifying duoluozhong, her companions with different appearances … As the dream did not progress according to the real time, she felt as if she had been in this extremely realistic dream for several years. When she was abruptly woken up, she even had a feeling that she did not know what year it was in the real world. Lin Sanjiu slowly sat down on the chair. She was in a daze for a while. Then, she let out a self-mocking laugh.
That dream seemed to be a different life. But when he woke up. She was still an ordinary white-collar worker in this big city.
"What? I'm pretty imaginative …" She moved the mouse, and the screen suddenly lit up with the blue sky, white clouds, and grass. "If I write down everything in my dreams, it would be a novel."
It was pushed far away from reality by the dream. Slowly, the trivial matters of life surfaced in his mind again. "Oh, it seems like I have to hand in a report this afternoon."
Shaking her head, Lin Sanjiu opened the document skillfully and stared at the screen for a while. His fingers danced on the keyboard with a crackling sound.
For Lin Sanjiu, there was nothing noteworthy about that day other than her extraordinarily vivid and vivid daydreams. When she was about to knock off from work, her slightly old iPhone suddenly lit up.
"Don't forget that you have a blind date with that doctor tonight. Do you want me to pick you up from work with some cosmetics?"
The sender was Zhu Mei.
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the name and froze in a daze. After a few seconds, she replied, "Sure, just bring me some mascara."
The image of Zhu Mei's mummified corpse in her dream was still vivid in her mind …
"Seriously, why would I dream of such a hateful thing?"
Lin Sanjiu sighed. She clicked the lock button. When the screen turned black, she saw the reflection of a large, snow-white face.
A pair of black, hollow eyes stared at Lin Sanjiu through the reflection.
Lin Sanjiu should have screamed at that moment, but her subconscious reaction gave her a shock. She leaped forward, and the moment she steadied herself, she kicked backward with her other leg. The swivel chair that she was sitting on slid away and hit the person behind her.
"Ouch! What are you doing! "
The slightly frivolous male colleague clutched his stomach. His actions and voice were very exaggerated, "I just wanted to see who you were texting. Is there a need to — ouch —"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She looked down at herself.
Her calf muscles, which had not been exercised due to sitting in the office for a long time, were starting to ache due to that explosive movement.
"I'm sorry, I was startled by you." She smiled at the male colleague. She tried to keep her voice calm.
It was as if something was rampaging in the depths of her brain, and she couldn't calm down. Lin Sanjiu watched as the male colleague packed his things and left, muttering under his breath. She took a deep breath and bent down to clean her desk. Then, she switched off her computer. She planned to tell Zhu Mei about her unusual behavior today when she saw her.
One of the best things about the company she worked at was that they always got off work on time. If it wasn't for the boss's request, almost everyone would leave on time. As Lin Sanjiu was a little distracted, she was the only one left in the office after she spent ten minutes packing her things.
Since the door was locked with a combination lock, the last person to leave only needed to enter the password to lock the door. This saved Lin Sanjiu the trouble of getting a key. After she punched in her card, her fingers hovered over the keyboard for a long time, but she couldn't remember what the password was.
"Really, what's going on today …"
After calling her colleague and asking for the password, she finally took the elevator downstairs. Zhu Mei was already waiting downstairs with a large paper bag. It seemed that she was definitely carrying more than one mascara.
Lin Sanjiu's best friend seemed to be more eager for Lin Sanjiu to get married as soon as possible. Lin Sanjiu arrived at the elegant restaurant 30 minutes early. After Zhu Mei held her down and tidied her up, Lin Sanjiu almost couldn't recognize her reflection in the mirror.
"My mind is a little messed up today …" Lin Sanjiu whispered to Zhu Mei before the doctor arrived after both of them sat down. "I had a dream at noon —"
"Hey hey, Doctor Chen, over here!"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Zhu Mei suddenly jumped up and waved at a young man not far away. After Dr. Chen sat down and introduced himself, Zhu Mei asked, "What did you dream about? Dr. Chen, she said she had a dream. "
Under the gaze of the fat man opposite him. Lin Sanjiu forced a smile and said, "Nothing. I just dreamed about the end of the world."
"That's interesting!" Dr. Chen seemed to be quite satisfied with her appearance. His smile became more lively and he took the opportunity to talk non-stop. "It is said that dreams are the fulfillment of human desires. Maybe you have some desires in your heart that can only be fulfilled during the end of the world … When I was in university, I went to Germany as an exchange student for a year. I learned quite a lot about psychology …"
Lin Sanjiu maintained her polite smile. She felt that her face was stiff.
To be fair, Doctor Chen was quite an interesting person, and he didn't seem like a bad person. However, as time went by, Lin Sanjiu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. It was as if she had forgotten something very important, and her mind was in a state of chaos. After a while, the other two people at the table also noticed it. Zhu Mei even pinched Lin Sanjiu lightly under the table.
"Sorry, I need to go to the washroom."
Lin Sanjiu said hurriedly and left the table as if she was running away from something.
"What's wrong with me today?"
Lin Sanjiu sat on the toilet seat. While she was in a daze, she couldn't help asking herself this question.
She was so absent-minded. What if she was attacked by something … Sigh, what attack!
Lin Sanjiu scratched her head. She felt that her worries were ridiculous.
After sitting for a while as if she was avoiding something, she gradually calmed down. Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Sanjiu stood up. "Don't leave Zhu Mei alone there. It's quite awkward …"
As she mumbled, she reached out to open the door.
However, her body froze for no reason.
Next. Lin Sanjiu's body seemed to have a mind of its own. She didn't even know why. She took out her phone and turned on the camera mode. She squatted down and stuck the camera out from the gap of the washroom door. She looked at the ceiling and snapped a picture.
She pulled her phone back and saw a blurry picture of the bottom of the washroom sink. There was nothing strange about it.
"Luckily there's no one here. Otherwise, people would think that I'm a pervert." She shook her head and smiled. She put the phone back into her pocket.
Even though Lin Sanjiu adjusted her mood, the rest of the dinner wasn't as satisfying as she had hoped. Dr. Chen probably also noticed that his blind date was absent-minded. The last ten minutes were almost spent in silence. Although Zhu Mei kept trying to find a topic to liven up the atmosphere, the blind date was soon over. Dr. Chen wiped his mouth and called the waiter.
"I'll pay for this meal. Ladies, you don't have to bring your wallet," Dr. Chen said in a gentlemanly manner. He turned to the waiter and asked, "How much for this table?"
"382, sir," the waiter, who was so young that he looked like a child, looked at the bill in his hand. "Credit card or cash?"
"Oh, cash then!" Dr. Chen smiled at Lin Sanjiu, "I'm not used to using my phone to pay. I only feel at ease when I have cash with me …"
Lin Sanjiu nodded politely. She watched as the doctor took out a few blue notes from his wallet.
[Kisaragi Station World's cash.] (To be continued.)
