She schemed her way into a relationship with him.
Cheng Cheng had a love that left a deep mark on her heart. No, it was more like an open declaration of love.
It ended miserably.
She never contacted him again.
In the years that followed, she transferred schools, dated someone new, broke up, and ended up alone again.
She went from a student in the bloom of youth to a wage slave.
Time passed, and just as she was about to forget him, he appeared in her dreams.
Again and again.
Suddenly, without warning.
Confessions, embraces, hand-holding, kisses, and even more outrageous things: they did it all in her dreams.
People say that if you keep dreaming about someone, it means they’re thinking of you.
But Cheng Cheng believed another explanation more.
Dreaming about the same person means you’re fated to miss each other,
and can only wear away your fate together through dreams.
She and he really were fated to miss each other.
After dreaming once more about the man who had been there throughout her youth, she thought:
She didn’t want to see him only in her dreams anymore.
Who cared whether they were fated to be together? She trusted herself more than fate.
There are many ways to find someone. All she needed was a name and a memory,
and she could track him down.
