Tan Mo did not feel well. She gripped the blanket tightly and felt that her body now felt very weird.
She felt an urgency to be closer and closer to Wei Zhiqian.
Tan Mo rolled around and flipped over. Her blanket rolled over along with her.
Tan Mo bent her body to resemble a prawn. She rolled all of her blankets into her arms.
She did not know why, but she just wanted to continuously compress her blanket and fill in the emptiness in her arms.
This feeling was very foreign and weird to her.
It even scared Tan Mo a little.
The next day was Sunday.
The day before, she had thought she had not spent enough time with Wei Zhiqian. Now, she celebrated that Wei Zhiqian was busy and they did not have to meet.
Otherwise, she did not know how to face Wei Zhiqian.
She called him uncle in the day and did… She did that kind of thing to Wei Zhiqian at night.
At this moment, Wei Zhiqian was seated in his office.
He should have gone to the office to work the day before.
But he had thought things through and wanted to spend as much time as possible with Tan Mo.
He was afraid that things would change if he waited.
He had pushed the work from the day before to today.
The original plan was that the work for the day before and the work to be done today would be completed on the respective day itself.
He had wanted to return home to complete the work for the day before after he had taken Tan Mo home so that he would be more relaxed today.
Unexpectedly, the day had developed very well. His thoughts were filled with Tan Mo when he returned home.
He was not in the mood for work at all.
Then, he decided not to work.
Otherwise, he would be inefficient when he worked. Even if he burned the midnight oil, he might not be able to complete much, and it would affect how he felt in the morning.
It was better to rest early and readjust on Sunday, increasing his work efficiency.
Thus, when he reached home the day before, Wei Zhiqian also went to bed early.
Unexpectedly, once he fell asleep, he dreamed of Tan Mo again.
He was with her in front of the flower jars, in the escape room, and even in Tan Mo’s bedroom.
Wei Zhiqian did not dare to tell Tan Mo about it.
Otherwise, both of them would know that they had the same realistic dream again.
Now, Wei Zhiqian was leaning on the chair and could not help himself from reminiscing about the previous night’s dream.
He suspected that if this continued, he would not be able to work today as well.
The dream was too beautiful.
It was just that it was unfinished.
In Tan Mo’s bedroom, on her bed, he had just dreamed that he had lowered his head and was about to kiss her.
Then, the dream ended, and he woke up.
Even if he tried to fall asleep again to continue the dream, it did not work.
He did not know when he could dream of Tan Mo again.
Could it be that it would only happen on the nights he met Tan Mo?
Wei Zhiqian could not help but feel regret. The first time he dreamed of Tan Mo was the most exciting.
He had even awoken feeling shocked.
Wei Zhiqian sighed, gathered his thoughts, and officially invested himself in his work.
***
On Sunday afternoon, Tan Mo, Qin Muye, and Ming Yeqing returned to school as usual.
“Where should we eat tonight? In the canteen?” The question that Qin Muye thought about the most every day was what to eat for lunch and what for dinner.
She rarely thought about what to eat for breakfast.
She usually could not wake up early in the morning and would stay in bed.
Thus, it was usually Tan Mo who bought food from the canteen for her.
She would eat whatever Tan Mo bought.
Ming Yeqing said, “I’m okay with whatever.”
Tan Mo suspected that whatever Qin Muye said, Ming Yeqing would agree.
Tan Mo replied, “Let’s eat Japanese cuisine tonight. We can book a small private room.”
She mainly had something to discuss with them, and it would not be good if they weren’t overhead in the canteen.
If they went to another restaurant, the private room was a bit too big.
Only the small four-person private room in the Japanese cuisine restaurant was suitable for them.
“Alright.” Qin Muye did not mind as she quite liked Japanese cuisine.
Tan Mo said, “I will make the reservation.”
Beijing University was in a very central location in B City.
The location was very good, thus there were many small restaurants in the vicinity.
They also did not lack high-end restaurants.
Tan Mo and the others frequented a Japanese cuisine restaurant that had a good environment and served authentic food.
Tan Mo made a reservation at that restaurant.
After she had booked the time, she informed Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing in the group chat.
The trio agreed to meet below Qin Muye’s dormitory building at 5:30 p.m.
They could reach the restaurant from school on foot in 20 minutes.
If they had called for a car at this time, they probably would be caught in a jam for more than 30 minutes. It would be faster to walk instead.
Ming Yeqing arrived early and did not make Tan Mo and Qin Muye wait.
It was Tan Mo and Qin Muye who were a little late.
“Why did you suddenly want to eat Japanese cuisine?” Qin Muye asked. “And you even want to book a private room.”
Tan Mo did not have high expectations about where she ate.
Previously when they went to that restaurant, they did not book a private room.
“I have something to discuss with the two of you, and a private room would be more suitable,” Tan Mo explained. “After thinking about it, only the private room of that Japanese restaurant is small enough and suitable for us. Otherwise, the private rooms of other restaurants are too big. The smallest table could seat seven to eight people, and it would be so empty when we sat there.”
Qin Muye nodded to show she understood.
She was curious to death. What matter did Tan Mo want to discuss with them?
Was it so serious that she specially reserved a private room?
When the trio was walking toward the restaurant, Tan Mo received Wei Zhiqian’s call.
The person Tan Mo was most embarrassed to meet now was Wei Zhiqian.
The dream she had on Friday night was enough to embarrass her.
She then dreamed of something more outrageous on Saturday.
She had that sort of dream two consecutive nights. The first time, even though she felt guilty, she was able to face Wei Zhiqian.
However, she had dreamt of him for two consecutive nights, and she did not dare see Wei Zhiqian before she organized her thoughts.
When she saw the word “Uncle” on her phone screen, her heart trembled.
She looked at the phone and let it ring. She did not pick up the call.
“Momo, why don’t you pick up the call?” Qin Muye asked curiously. “Is it an advertising call? Are advertising calls so stubborn nowadays? Your phone keeps ringing.”
“No… No, it isn’t.” Tan Mo quickly picked up the call. “Uncle.”
She sounded extremely guilty.
Wei Zhiqian raised his brows.
Did the young lady do something wrong to him?
Why did she sound so guilty?
“You haven’t eaten, right?” Wei Zhiqian had yet to finish work, but he was worried that Tan Mo had already gone to eat. It was not dinner time yet, so he called Tan Mo. “If you have not eaten, wait a while. I will come to school to find you later and eat with you.”
“Uncle, don’t come over,” Tan Mo quickly said. Her voice got unknowingly louder.
