I had a dream. In it, I was traveling with Xiao Say, Lao Zhou, Da Jinjin, Young Master Gao, and Yangzi when the teacher's Feishu message woke me up. After class, I asked a friend for a cigarette. She told me she'd quit because her partner wouldn't let her smoke. So I asked my best friend if she wanted to go hang out with a younger schoolmate. Among all those younger students, there was one who knew us well. He told me, "I'm going to your partner's house for dinner tonight." Just after we left school for lunch, I saw a boy driving a convertible sports car and wearing a luxury watch. A beautiful girl was in the passenger seat. He asked if I wanted to go to a bar that night. I smiled and decided to ask my family for some money. After acting cute for a while, I successfully got quite a bit of money. I was so happy I wanted to call out, "Grandpa," but I couldn't get the word out. After struggling for ages, all I managed to say was, "Thank you, Grandpa Liu."
