Have You Ever Fallen in Love in a Dream?

They say that in Northern Europe there is a god who rules over dreams. Pray to him sincerely, and he will grant you a wonderful dream.

When Jiang Jiang got a wooden carving of this dream god, she didn't believe it. She thought it was just a sales pitch to sell tourist souvenirs. But later, when work drove her to her wits' end, she dug out the carving she'd bought and left on display, then prayed to it with all her heart.

She really did dream about what she'd wanted before bed.

Wei Yuan had been diagnosed with insomnia two weeks ago. The worst part was that he was allergic to the active ingredients in sleeping pills, so medication wasn't an option. Someone sent him a wooden carving, saying it depicted the Norse god of dreams.

After being tormented by insomnia for so long, he treated the carving like a lifeline.

That night, after praying to it, he really did fall asleep.

The dream itself just felt a little off.

While on a business trip to N City, Jiang Jiang meets her ideal type.

A guy who's over six feet tall, handsome and sweet, with an amazing voice.

Too bad he opens his mouth.

The second time they meet, Jiang Jiang walks up to him with a drink in hand and says, "I'm Jiang Jiang. Want to get to know each other?"

He only says three words: "No, thanks."

Just as Jiang Jiang thinks her sudden, intense crush has ended in disappointment,

the next day,

the guy who'd been as cold as an ice sculpture comes up to her, one hand braced against the elevator door, the other holding up his WeChat QR code. "I'm Wei Yuan. Want to get to know each other?"

Jiang Jiang: "?"

Jiang Jiang and Wei Yuan are dating, but only in their dreams. In real life, they're still strangers.

They've held hands and kissed in their dreams, but in real life she still acts like she barely knows him. Even a rabbit will bite when pushed too far, so Wei Yuan picks a bright, sunny day to corner her right outside her home and ask, "Sis, when are you going to take responsibility for me?"
