After the Nightmare Took an Interest in Me:
Chi Ruan is a diligent, hardworking underachiever devoted to protecting world peace.
His mother asks him, "Why do you spend all day lazing around?"
Chi Ruan replies, "I'm afraid if I start taking things seriously, they'll lose."
His father says, "Did I really give birth to this brat? Why is he so damn punchable?"
Chi Ruan wasn't lying. Later, he received an acceptance letter from Tsinghua University. Someone beside him leaned down and whispered in his ear, "A Ruan, are you happy?"
Chi Ruan blushed. Everyone below thought he was shy, though his legs were trembling. Only Chi Ruan knew he was terrified.
"Mom, what do I do if a ghost won't leave me alone?"
"Get lost..."
"Dad, what do I do if a ghost pins me down in my sleep?"
"Are you sick?"
"Mom, Dad, I'm married..."
"To who!?"
"A ghost..."
Cheng Li diligently roams through people's dreams, and loves seeing them scared out of their wits. One day, he enters the dream of someone called Chi Ruan. In this dream, there are friendly classmates, fun games, delicious food, and kind parents... He's going to crush them all...
So...
He sets a terrifying mood and approaches the brightest thing in sight.
The boy says to him, "Hey, are you scared? I'll protect you!"
Cheng Li pretends not to notice the boy's trembling legs. "Sure."
But why is this kid clinging to his clothes and pressing himself against him? Who's supposed to be protecting whom?
