Zhang Mengxue had a nightmare.
As a newlywed, she and her lover traveled to the Maldives. The sun, the waves, the beach, everything was what she imagined it to be. Warm, sweet, and beautiful, this was what life was supposed to be like.
But the weather suddenly changed. The originally sunny sea was swept by strong winds and dark clouds. Lightning flashed densely, as if a fellow cultivator was going through a tribulation.
The originally gentle waves changed in an instant, and the waves several meters high surged over in an instant.
"Danger!" Zhang Mengxue shouted at her lover, who was standing in the sea and smiling foolishly at her like a child.
But he didn't notice the changes behind him at all, just standing there and smiling foolishly at her.
The gentle sea breeze and waves had turned into a ferocious beast, swallowing him in an instant.
Zhang Mengxue burst into tears. She tried to grab her lover, but no matter how hard she tried, her whole body seemed to be fixed by magic and couldn't move.
She could only watch helplessly as the love of her life disappeared in front of her without even a struggle.
And the waves didn't stop. They roared and rushed towards Zhang Mengxue not far away.
She wasn't afraid. All her happiness was shattered in an instant. What was the point of her living?
Her lover just disappeared in front of her, as if he had never appeared in this world. How good it would be if this was a nightmare, she thought with tears streaming down her face.
Zhang Mengxue grabbed their token of love — a diamond necklace. Her fingers gently stroked the symbol of love, the diamond.
It still existed. This wasn't a dream. It was just that she and her lover encountered a natural disaster. Fate was unfair, really unfair!
Looking at the black wall-like waves crashing over, Zhang Mengxue knew that she couldn't survive.
She grabbed the necklace hard, as if she was holding on to the only connection between herself and her lover.
No … The moment the huge waves hit her, Zhang Mengxue found that she almost lost control of her body and couldn't hold on to the token of love at all.
Even if she died, she had to die with it!
Using the last of her strength, Zhang Mengxue put the necklace in her mouth. And the waves were so fierce that she felt like she was going to be torn apart in an instant.
She hated the natural disaster, hated the waves that broke her happiness.
In the face of the natural disaster that took away all her happiness, Zhang Mengxue refused to accept it!
However, humans were simply too insignificant in front of nature. She was completely powerless to resist. The only thing he could do was to try his best to preserve the evidence of his happiness.
Regardless, Zhang Mengxue tried to swallow the necklace, not letting it disappear in the waves.
As the waves rose and fell, she woke up the moment she swallowed the necklace.
It was still the familiar home. There was a slight sound of snoring beside him, and his lover was sleeping soundly.
Nothing had changed. It was just a nightmare.
She let out a long breath. It was just a dream. How nice. All of this was just a dream.
Go back to sleep then.
It's alright.
That's good.
The next morning, Zhang Mengxue woke up and smelled breakfast.
Life was warm and sweet. The sunshine in the morning, the birds chirping outside, and the sound of his lover making breakfast in the kitchen. All of this was very much like love.
Zhang Mengxue's work was smooth and her life was perfect. It seemed that she had no regrets in her life. Her only regret was that her weight couldn't stop rising. No matter what method she used to lose weight, it was useless.
What a pity.
No, I have to work harder today and go on a diet. Zhang Mengxue lay on the bed, her mind in a mess.
"The sun is shining on your butt. Get up and eat." Zhang Mengxue's lover saw that she had woken up but was still lazing in bed, so he called out with a smile.
"Okay." Zhang Mengxue got up and changed into her pajamas. After washing up, she sat at the dining table and told her lover about the nightmare she had last night.
It was a dream. At that time, she felt scared, terrified, and helpless in the dream.
However, when she told her lover about it in the morning sunlight, there was no negative feeling at all. She just thought it was fun. It was very rare for her to be able to dream like a movie.
"Guess how I woke up in the end?" Zhang Mengxue asked.
"I woke up in fright," her lover said with a smile as he ate breakfast.
He had to go to work later. If he left early, there would be fewer people on the subway.
"I swallowed the necklace. I can't lose it no matter what!" Zhang Mengxue said.
"You …" Zhang Mengxue's lover was stunned. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Of course I'm not feeling unwell. It's just a dream. How can you take it seriously?" Zhang Mengxue smiled sweetly.
"Okay, hurry up and eat. If you feel unwell today, call me and I'll take you to the hospital. "
"No, I've been on a diet recently. I don't eat," Zhang Mengxue said with certainty.
Her lover didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he smiled in relief. He didn't say anything else related to the dream. He just persuaded her to eat.
"Don't you feel touched? I've worked very hard to protect our love," Zhang Mengxue said with a smile.
"Got it, little fool."
"I'll be back later tonight. I'm going to the gym."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll wait for you when I'm ready."
"I'm not eating. Don't tempt me with delicious food while I'm on a diet."
"I'm full. I'm going to work. You should leave early too," Zhang Mengxue's lover said as he stood up and began to clean up the dishes.
"Okay."
After going back to put on her makeup and clothes, Zhang Mengxue suddenly shouted, "Darling, did you see the necklace?"
"Isn't it in your jewelry box?"
"I looked for it. It's not in there."
"Hahaha." Zhang Mengxue's lover suddenly rushed in. "You just said that you ate the necklace in your dream."
It was a joke, a harmless joke.
But then Zhang Mengxue was stunned.
Don't tell me … I really ate the necklace in my dream. I really ate it, right?
She immediately looked for the necklace again but still couldn't find it.
She clearly remembered that she had hung the necklace next to the dresser before going to bed last night. How could it be gone!
She immediately told her lover her guess.
So the two of them began to rummage through the drawers for the necklace.
Ten minutes …
Twenty minutes …
Half an hour …
Nothing.
Zhang Mengxue couldn't sit still anymore. She couldn't have really lost it, could she? If she lost it, she would only feel sorry and guilty. After all, it was a token of love that her lover had bought for her.
That wasn't the scariest thing.
The scariest thing was that she had really swallowed the necklace. What should she do then?
Zhang Mengxue's face turned pale at the thought of this possibility.
"It's okay, it's okay." Her lover comforted her. "Let's go to the hospital to have a check. It should be fine."
"I'll look again. If I can't find it, I'll go and have a look." Zhang Mengxue didn't believe that she had eaten the necklace. She tried hard to find the lost little guy.
