"Nan Fang Chu has requested to add you as a friend." My gaze sharpened and my heart suddenly raced. My fingers trembled as I opened the page, accidentally tapping into his profile. His avatar was a simple cartoon shark, and his username was the three characters "Nan Fang Chu." His bio was just as direct:
"I hate the north: the cold weather." Yi Wanting let out a laugh, then clicked into his Moments. They were visible for only three days, and the latest post was a song he had shared today: "Dream Butterfly" by Khalil Fong, with the caption, "I dreamed of you." My heart tightened. Could it really be him? I went back and accepted his friend request. Staring at the chat screen, I quickly typed a few words:
"You... are you really Nan Fang Chu?"
It was as if he'd been waiting for me to message him. He replied right away.
"It's me. You're Yi Wanting, right?" I never reveal my real name on social media. If he knew my name, there was a good chance he was the Nan Fang Chu from my dream.
"It's me, but I still can't believe you're Nan Fang Chu. Could you tell me some details from the dream?"
About five minutes passed, and he still hadn't replied.
"So it's fake after all. Don't think knowing my name means you can pretend to be Nan Fang Chu," I grumbled. Then, suddenly, he sent a message:
"The north. Winter. You draped your coat over me."
My eyes widened. It really was him.
"Then tell me, what was your supernatural ability in the dream?"
