Xueba, don't look at me, look at the question!

Mu Nanyu opened his eyes hesitantly, narrowed his eyes, and touched under the pillow.

There seems to be a square thing that feels... a bit like a book?

He grunted and burrowed his head into Bai Jingtan's neck.

"...What is it?" He yawned as he said.

Bai Jingtan smiled helplessly, and rubbed his cheeks: "Since you're so sleepy, go to bed first, as long as you receive the things, you'll have time to look at them tomorrow."

"OK, good night?"

"Good night."

Mu Nanyu had a bizarre dream tonight, maybe it was because the last thought in his mind before falling asleep was that Bai Jingtan might have given him a book.

In the dream, he seemed to be back in the high school classroom, still wearing a blue and white school uniform, and the blackboard in front of him was filled with chalk words of various colors, densely packed with the process of solving math problems.

A few months after graduating from high school, he had long forgotten all about trigonometric functions, series of numbers, and derivatives. He was in a daze when a voice suddenly came.

"Mu Nanyu, tell me how to answer this question."

He stood up bravely, looked at the strange combination of numbers and symbols on the blackboard, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead after a few breaths.

"This question... this question..."

"I knew you couldn't. It would be weird if you slept in class every day. If you go on like this, you don't know what you're going to do in the college entrance examination."

Just as the stern voice of a high school math teacher fell, there was a sudden bang above his head.

Mu Nanyu looked up in surprise, only to see that the ceiling of the classroom suddenly turned into a big hole.

Countless textbooks and test papers were thrown at him.

38 sets of Five Three, Golden Examination Papers, and Tianli...

Mu Nanyu's eyes went dark, and he subconsciously ran towards Bai Jingtan's seat.

Shouting while running: "Bai Jingtan, help - there are papers behind!"

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu? Munanyu!"

Mu Nanyu suddenly opened his eyes, the light in front of him was still a little dim, it should still be early in the morning, the physiological moisture dispersed, blurring the handsome face of Bai Jingtan who was close at hand.

Not in the classroom.

No math problems.

There are no holes in the ceiling.

No test papers were dropped.

He is dreaming.

Mu Nanyu breathed a sigh of relief, habitually arched into Bai Jingtan's arms, and sighed: "I just had a nightmare."

Such an outrageous dream.

There seemed to be no other students or teachers in that classroom, and Bai Jingtan was not there, only that strange voice called him to do the questions...

"I know, you're sweating all over your back, do you want to get up and take a shower and change your clothes?"

"...I'll go and wipe it off, I'm too lazy to take a shower."

"What did you dream about, calling my name like that at the end?"

Hoarse, as if parting from life and death.

While recalling, Mu Nanyu recounted the scene in the dream, and finally caught the smile from the end of Bai Jingtan's eyes.

"You're still laughing at me! It must be that I studied hard before the midterm exam, and I dreamed of doing math problems! And I wanted to find you, but you're not here, there's no one else in that classroom, it's scary—"

"What's scary? It's just a dream. No matter when you look for me, I'm always here."

Bai Jingtan patted the back of the person in his arms lightly, as if thinking of something, his brows twitched slightly, but soon relaxed.

Under the faint morning light, the amber eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

Mu Nanyu slowed down for a while, Bai Jingtan's embrace was very warm, especially the warmth of his palm, and immediately dispelled all the slight trembling caused by the nightmare.

"Well... I know you will definitely be here. It's just a dream, it's always unreasonable!"

"You're right. But there is an old saying that dreams are the opposite. If you can't see me in your dreams, it means that I will be there in reality."

"...That seems to be the case, but when I was a child, my dreams were accurate. Once I dreamed that I got a 58.5 in the Chinese test, and I woke up so angry. When I got the test paper the next day, I really scored 58.5!"

"Failed?"

"Yes! It's just that close! My uncle promised me back then that as long as I pass every class, he will buy me fried chicken. Because of this language, my fried chicken flew away."

Bai Jingtan laughed softly: "If you want to eat fried chicken, I'll buy it for you on the way back today... It's getting late, Uncle Mu usually gets up very early, I have to go back."

"...Oh, then I'll get up too, and I'll go wipe my back."

"Ah."

The two got up from the bed lightly, Mu Nanyu quickly wiped his body with a wet towel, and sent Bai Jingtan to the door of the house.

Carefully unscrew the doorknob with a "squeak".

While Mu Nanyu sneaked a peek at his uncle's bedroom door, he pushed Bai Jingtan out.

"We'll go back to school after breakfast."

"Well, it's cool in the morning, you're still in your pajamas, go back."

Mu Nanyu watched the person go to the opposite door and entered, then slowly closed the door, stretched his waist and took two steps towards his room.

When he opened his eyes, he took a photo with the uncle who had just opened the bedroom door.

Mu Nanyu half yawned and was frightened back. After a while, he stumbled and greeted: "Morning, uncle?"

Mu Wenjun obviously didn't expect to see Mu Nanyu here, and the two stared for a while.

"Xiaoyu? Why are you standing by the door so early in the morning? You have to go out so early? What are you doing in your pajamas?"

Mu Nanyu managed to swallow the words "I sleepwalk" and organized the sentences.

"Me, I went to bed early yesterday, and woke up early today, thinking that I can't fall asleep anyway, so I exercise, so I walk around in the living room!"

"Oh... that's right." Mu Wenjun stared at him suspiciously, and went to the bathroom on his own, "What time did Xiaotan leave yesterday? Did you send him out?"

Mu Nanyuxin said that Bai Jingtan just left a few seconds ago, and I just sent him out.

He laughed dryly: "He... I left before going to bed, of course I gave it away, after all, it's my brother after all."

"Hey, you are much more sensible after you go to college. Before, it was harder for you to call Xiaotan brother than to kill you."

"... Uncle, what do you think of Bai Jingtan?"

"Xiaotan? Of course Xiaotan is fine. If you have half his grades, uncle will have nothing to worry about in his life!"

"What about grades? What do you think about other aspects?"

"Other aspects? Others...he has a good character, is sensible, looks pretty good, is tall, and has a good personality."

Mu Nanyu couldn't help laughing: "Anywhere is fine."

"Isn't it? I really don't know which little girl will marry him in the future. I'm so lucky!"
