However, even with such great courage in his chest, he still did not dare to inquire about what Gu Yun would think if he knew what would happen.

Chang Geng thought, even if he was infected with grotesque ulcers all over, his little yifu would still not abandon him. But what about if he knew that Chang Geng would eventually become a hysterical madman?

He instinctively avoided talking about it, he did not want to dwell on it deeper and asked instead: "Have you also had nightmares before?"

Gu Yun blurted out a lie: "How is that possible?"

But after the words came out of him, Gu Yun quickly remembered Shen Yi's words telling him to treat Chang Geng genuinely and sincerely. He then felt that his fib went a bit too far, he covered it up with a cough then said again: "No... Ah well, from time to time, when my sleeping position isn't right, it could cause a few troublesome dreams sometimes."

Chang Geng: "What do you dream of?"

Gu Yun wasn't fond of talking about his feelings, because this whole process was immensely embarrassing, like running on the street in front of people while stripped naked, he carelessly answered just for the sake of it: "Just an incomprehensible mess, I would forget about all of it as soon as I woke up — Hurry and go to sleep, the sky will be bright soon."

Chang Geng didn't make a sound.

However, after a while, as Gu Yun sneaked a glance at him, he saw that Chang Geng's eyes were wide open, staring at him. He finally could not help but feel his head ache.

"All right," Gu Yun sighed and tried to rummage through his memories, then spoke in the tone of coaxing children to sleep:

"When I was a child, I once dreamed that I got locked inside a place where I could not see my fingers. The only thing I knew was that there were a lot of beasts surrounding me, so I kept running. It may be that because my legs were not stretched out. People said that if your legs are not stretched out properly, you won't be able to run quickly inside your dreams. I ran to the end, but it felt as if my legs and feet were made out of cotton, the more I tried to rush forward, the more I couldn't move."

Chang Geng asked: "Then what happened next?"

Then of course, I was scared awake in fright, what else can there be?

However, Gu Yun's mouth refused to admit that he was woken up out of fear, he made up a bluff sounding so lively it was believable: "In the end, I ran out of patience. I didn't know how I was able to pull out an enormous blade engraved with golden strings, in one slash finishing all the beasts chasing me, and I woke up with satisfaction."

Chang Geng: "..."
