Chen Luoqiu woke up from her dream. She didn't get up immediately as usual but stared at the ceiling for a while, her eyes filled with a look of confusion.
Last night, she had a dream. In the dream, she went by the alias "Chen Yuqian" and woke up on an airplane, exploring the reason for their presence on the plane with a boy beside her who was equally clueless.
Later, she got airsick and ran to the bathroom to vomit. The boy named Chen Longtao handed her airsickness medicine. The medicine was fine, but then an accident occurred; they accidentally fell in the bathroom. Coincidentally, the bathroom door was broken, and they couldn't get out, nor could they get anyone outside to hear them, and the atmosphere fell into a strange and enchanting situation.
Thinking of the experience in the dream, Chen Luoqiu felt slightly ashamed, and her face became hot. She secretly annoyed herself for having such a dream because it was too strange, almost like she was lovesick.
However, Chen Longtao was quite gentle and good-looking, and she had actually met him on a plane. This was really a Cinderella fantasy, right?
Chen Luoqiu thought blankly. Because it was just a dream, although the content was a bit embarrassing, she didn't take it to heart.
"Luoqiu, are you awake?"
A weak voice came from the room, pulling Chen Luoqiu back from her fantasies. She shook her head to clear it, got off the creaky little bed, looked around the living room—which was her room—that was less than thirty square meters, and walked quickly into the only other room in the house.
The light in the room was a bit dim. Chen Luoqiu looked toward the source of the sound and saw a thin figure lying on the bed, currently making uncomfortable gasping sounds.
Chen Luoqiu hurried over: "Mom, do you need to use the bathroom? Let me carry you."
She asked softly, lifted the quilt covering her mother, and habitually bent down to pick her mother up.
Yu Youwei shook her head to stop her and said softly: "My legs are a bit uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Chen Luoqiu sat down and began to gently massage Yu Youwei's feet with both hands.
Yu Youwei felt a bit more comfortable and then asked her daughter: "Who is Chen Longtao?"
She had heard her daughter's sleep talk. Normally, dreaming wasn't strange, but the voice was a bit loud, something like "Chen Longtao, you bastard, don't touch me!" It sounded quite strange, as if something very bad was happening.
This made Yu Youwei a bit worried. Her daughter was growing up and seemed to have a boy she liked, but she didn't know if the other party was a good person or if she would be taken advantage of.
Chen Luoqiu was taken aback, lowered her head, and explained: "I had a dream. Chen Longtao is just that person in the dream. But this dream is so strange; I still remember it clearly after waking up."
Chen Luoqiu's eyes showed a look of confusion, but Yu Youwei thought she was just brushing her off. However, Yu Youwei didn't continue to ask, just keeping it in mind.
Her own ghostly appearance was a burden to her daughter. If the other party wasn't that kind of bad-hearted boy, as long as he truly liked Luoqiu, she wouldn't interfere too much.
Chen Luoqiu didn't notice her mother's abnormality. The more she thought about it, the stranger she felt. That dream was too real; even now, she could remember everything that happened in the dream. Was this... really a dream?
...
Alex stood in front of the mirror, examining his naked self. He discovered that after obtaining the Strong Physique, his body type hadn't changed, but there was more muscle on his body, abdominal lines had appeared, and his physique looked better.
Putting down his clothes, Alex left the bathroom. When he walked outside, he saw Freya closing the curtains. All the curtains in the living room had been drawn, making the originally bright room much dimmer.
"I heard there's a peeping tom nearby. If we close the curtains, our privacy won't be peeked at."
Freya walked over and said mysteriously to him, then hooked her arm around his, casually touched his chest, and her eyes brightened slightly.
She hadn't had the chance before, but now she discovered that Alex's body was actually this great. She was delighted and said softly: "I made a nutritious breakfast. You're still growing, so you need to eat more."
Freya was somewhat excited, like a thief. She happily hooked her arm around Alex and walked to the dining table, pressed him down into a chair, then picked up a bowl of nutritious porridge that was still steaming, intending to feed it to him.
Alex struggled internally but then complied because he thought that if he wanted to get the treasure chest that Freya would drop, he had to fulfill her wishes. Perhaps feeding him was Freya's wish at this moment.
Freya had originally just been testing him, but seeing his obedient and compliant appearance, she immediately couldn't help herself. She leaned in close and carefully fed him the porridge.
Alex's expression was a bit unnatural, mainly because Freya's neckline was a bit low when she bent over, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.
Is this woman an idiot? Being so unguarded around a teenager.
Noticing his embarrassment, Freya curled her lips. Just as she was about to lean in closer, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Quickly putting down the bowl, Freya straightened her posture and said seriously: "Alex, eat by yourself. Mommy is going to see who it is."
After finishing her sentence, Freya ran into the room first. About thirty seconds later, she came out wearing conservative clothing and walked gracefully to open the door.
Alex was dumbfounded. What kind of speed is this for changing clothes?
Seeing the person enter the house, Alex's heart tightened. He smiled and greeted: "Good morning, Auntie, let's have breakfast together."
An Suling glanced at him and shook her head, "You eat, I'm not hungry."
Freya hurriedly gave Alex a look, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Alex didn't say much more and lowered his head to drink the porridge silently.
An Suling turned her gaze to Freya on the side, her eyes filled with scrutiny.
Freya felt a bit guilty, pretended to be nonchalant, and asked with a smile: "What is the matter, coming to see me so early?"
"Just came to take a look." An Suling looked at Freya quietly, her tone containing a hint of warning: "Why are the curtains drawn? The room is too dark."
Freya had been prepared, her face natural: "My eyes have been a bit uncomfortable recently and can't stand strong light. The morning sun is too bright when it shines in."
An Suling nodded, not knowing whether she believed it or not.
Alex stood up at this moment: "I'm full, I'll head to school first."
"Be careful on the way." Freya smiled and admonished.
"Goodbye, Auntie." Alex nodded, greeted An Suling again, and left the house with his schoolbag.
An Suling was silent for a moment, turned her head, and looked at Freya expressionlessly, saying: "This child of yours is truly polite."
Freya was delighted to hear this. Just as she was about to praise herself for her good upbringing, she immediately heard An Suling say: "I really want to punch him until he cries."
Freya's smiling face stiffened, and she said sheepishly: "Um, sorry, he isn't very sensible; please forgive him."
