In the quiet night, I do not know how many people have fallen into a dream without knowing it. In their dreams, they may be saviors, rich people who spend money like dirt, or beggars or martial arts masters. When they wake up from the dream, there are still many people who cannot distinguish between dream and reality.

When Lu Chengyu opened his eyes from his dream, what he saw was pitch black. He slowly got up from the bed and looked at the dim lights outside the window. He suddenly remembered that this is not his home, but the hospital ward.

He got up and poured himself a glass of water. He walked to the window and quietly looked at the energy-saving lamp in the garden below. The green light seemed a little lonely in the dark night. After taking a sip of warm water, he half leaned against the window, stretched his head out of the window to feel the chill of the night breeze, and let out a long breath. Turning around, he was taken aback, because Yan Mu, who was sleeping on the accompanying bed, had already sat up from the bed.

“Boss, you look very terrifying just sitting there silently,” he put down the water glass, climbed onto the bed in a few steps, and pulled the quilt over his knees. Although there was no light in the room, he could feel Yan Mu looking at him, “I woke you up just now?”

“No,” Yan Mu was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Why can’t you sleep?”

Lu Chengyu smiled., Remembering that he could not see his expression in the dark, his smile suddenly collapsed: “I had a bad dream, and I woke up.” There was another minute of silence, when he said solemnly, “Dreams are fake.”

“Well,” Lu Chengyu’s mouth bent, “I know.”

Yan Mu couldn’t see Lu Chengyu’s expression, so he couldn’t judge the other party’s mood from his expression. He didn’t even know what he should say. He had the feeling as if he shouldn’t talk now, but he had to say something, “I had a very strange dream before, dreaming that I became a wolf, but I didn’t want to eat raw meat, so I finally woke up hungry. “In the darkness, he heard Lu Chengyu chuckle, and then he heard the other person say: “Why not a wolf dog? Go to sleep, maybe we can become kings in our dreams later.”

“Yeah,” Yan Mu saw that Lu Chengyu was already lying down through the faint light outside the window, and then slowly lay down, pulling the quilt up a little bit and covering himself till his chin.

When Lu Chengyu woke up early the next morning, it was already bright, and his breakfast was in the thermos on the bedside. As for Yan Mu, he had already rushed to the company.

He drank slightly light vegetable porridge, and after eating steamed buns, he turned on the computer and plugged in the network cable provided in the ward and processed some emails about work.

At this time, on the most famous forum in China, a post that shocked netizens were posted.

The name of this post was “A Truth That will Shock You and Make You Angry”. Originally, they thought the poster was someone who deliberately used the title as clickbait to attract everyone’s attention. After clicking into the post, they were shocked by the contents of the post.

It turns out that Lu Chengyu’s parents died from an accident, and the cause of the accident was that Liang’s safety measures were so inadequate during construction that an object fell from a high altitude, which happened to hit Lu Chengyu’s parents’ car, causing both of them to die on the spot.

After the accident, Liang did pay a sum of compensation, but no person in charge came forward and said even half an apology to Lu Chengyu for this matter. Later, as a result of the handling of this matter, an intern under the Liang family was sentenced to two years imprisonment, the Liang family was disqualified from construction, and was criticized by the local officials.
