Childhood Friends, Together from Dawn to Dusk

[Complete! Next book: Let’s Fall in Love After Dark] Lu Qifan x Zhou Zhimeng, Alpha and Omega childhood friends, younger man, updates every day at noon [When Zhou Zhimeng was little, the thing he said most often was: “Xiao Qi, no. Don’t mess around. Stay away from me.” Later, he said the same thing pretty often in bed.] A slice-of-life childhood-friends story. They grow up together, bicker whenever they’re together, and miss each other when apart. They know all of each other’s moods and quirks, and instinctively help each other put on coats and fix their hair. One glance is all it takes for them to understand each other. They have their share of squabbles and silent treatments, when neither of them will speak to the other. Then their parents get together, and the two end up at the same table again, sitting awkwardly side by side. In the end, they can’t resist peeling shrimp and picking fish bones out for each other, placing everything in each other’s bowls. After dinner, they still fall asleep in each other’s arms, just like when they were kids. Eventually, the childhood friend wins his heart, and stops calling him “big brother” to call him “wife” instead.

In the dream, his boss, Fu Linzhou, marries him to escape an arranged marriage set up by his family. Sheng Tang sits blankly on the edge of the bed, just about to promise Fu Linzhou that he won’t entertain any improper thoughts, when Fu Linzhou walks into the room, crouches in front of him, and takes his tightly clenched hand. He says, “Baby, don’t be afraid.” Only then does Sheng Tang remember that it’s a dream, and he lets out a sigh of relief. In the dream, Fu Linzhou treats him so well, healing all the wounds in his heart. He accepts every little tantrum and, no matter how busy he is, stays by his side, practically wanting to hold him in his arms every moment of the day. Sheng Tang laughs in his dream. Then his alarm rings, he opens his eyes, and all the warmth drains from his body. He gets out of bed with a look of utter despair and goes to work, continuing to follow Fu Linzhou around as his secretary without daring to make a sound. But he dreams about Fu Linzhou every night. The dreams keep coming, and feel more and more real, until Sheng Tang starts to feel disoriented. Once, he goes on a business trip with Fu Linzhou. When he wakes up, he finds himself sprawled across Fu Linzhou’s bed, while Fu Linzhou sits beside it with a dark expression. As soon as Fu Linzhou sees him wake, he’s about to lose his temper, but then Sheng Tang looks at him pitifully, as if he’s been terribly wronged. He reaches out to Fu Linzhou, grabs at him, and says with teary eyes, “Husband, I can’t sleep anymore.” Fu Linzhou: “…” One day later on, Sheng Tang is afraid of getting lost in his dreams and doesn’t dare go to sleep. His dark circles are so bad he looks like a panda. Fu Linzhou drags him into the break room, scoops him up and lays him on the bed, then asks, “If this were a dream, what would I do to you right now?” Sheng Tang says dazedly, “You’d kiss me.” So Fu Linzhou bends down and kisses him. “Let’s get married. Whatever happens in the dream, we’ll make it happen in real life.” * Theme: Treat life with gentleness; love can heal anything
