Bye! My Soul

2

When Lisa woke up, it was already past 9pm.  She got up from bed, rubbed her face, and walked into the bathroom in a daze.

Her experiences in the “dream” were vague.   Lisa only remembered that she had become a doorbell and chatted with a very masculine man for a while.
[What’s your name… How about I call you “Old Koo” from now on?]
Old Koo?

Lisa tried to recall her memories repeatedly, but still couldn’t remember the person’s appearance.

How could she have such strange dreams? 

Was she really dreaming?

Did she become someone else’s belonging while sleeping, twice in a row?

Lisa took a shower and walked out of the bathroom refreshed.  She put on an apron, set up the camera, and started preparing for a cooking livestream.

“Today’s midnight snack is a bacon and egg crepe. The steps are simple and the flavor is delicious.”   Lisa placed flour, butter, eggs, bacon, chives and salt on the table one by one.  She mixed the flour, milk, and eggs together, then wrapped it in plastic to refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Later, she seasoned the dough with onion and bacon grease to taste.

After spreading a layer of oil on the pan, she scooped in a spoonful of batter and spread it evenly.   Lisa fried the batter until it was golden, added some sides, cracked an egg in the middle, and sprinkled everything with chives and cheese.

She folded the four sides of the pancake into a square, then heated it until the cheese melted and the egg became half-cooked, with the yolk round and golden.  Finally, she cut a few pieces of fruit and placed it in a corner for decoration.  A simple and delicious crepe was completed.

Lisa picked up the freshly baked crepe. She gave the audience a closeup first, before taking a deep sniff and commented, “The fragrance of combining eggs and milk, mixed with cheese and bacon, makes the taste even richer.  The color is bright and it is both nutritious and healthy.  Try it if you have time at night.  Okay, I’m going to start eating now.”

[Ahhhhhhhh, just watching makes me hungry.  Why did I come for this abuse?]

[Losing weight is not possible.  It is impossible in this life.]

[I envy the anchor’s body.  She can eat anything without getting fat.]

[I just ordered takeout.  I am willing to drown myself in food.]

After eating the crepe,  Lisa’s gratified expression drew out a ripple of hostility, and the live broadcast ended with a wave of resentful rewards.

Lisa cleaned up the kitchen, then slowly jogged on the treadmill for another 30 minutes.

After midnight, she went to bed on time.  No more than five minutes after closing her eyes,  Lisa fell asleep.  Her sleep quality had always been very good, but it had been abnormal in the last two days.  Sleep came with many bizarre dreams.

When her “consciousness” awakened,  Lisa found that she was in a gray and narrow space, and there was a faint noise outside.

Good, she seemed to have become something strange again.

It was unknown how much time had passed before she started moving up in the narrow space. 

Following which, there was a bright shine above her head and her vision instantly widened.  Two fingers approached her, pinching her out of the narrow space.  With a “click”, a lighter was lit and a flickering flame wrapped around the end of a cigarette.

A wisp of smoke slowly fluttered, and Lisa immediately realized that the lit cigarette was herself. What made her even more flustered was that the fingers holding her were directing her towards a pair of lips.
