After the Nightmare Began Haunting Me

[Coming Soon: "I Made a Wish on a Whim, and They Took It Seriously [Quick Transmigration]" (≧ω≦)] Shi Qiu rarely dreamed, but suddenly he began having dreams all the time. One day, an NPC in his dream started talking to him. The next day, to his disbelief, he discovered that the professor in his dream looked exactly like his new teacher. The creatures from his nightmares seem to have escaped... [Unknown Reptile] (Completed) As a herpetologist, You Laiya is utterly obsessed with these beautiful, cold-blooded creatures. Lately, he has two worries: the special frilled lizard he got from a friend, and his adorable, alluring student. What should he do when his only apprentice doesn't like lizards? You Laiya is so worried he's about to lose his hair. How can he get his well-behaved student to like these beautiful little creatures? A helpful person offered a suggestion. His student likes him, of course. So why not turn into a lizard? You Laiya made up his mind. He would definitely correct Qiu Qiu's bad habit. [Creator of Life] Wei Jin was born into a family of puppeteers. His greatest dream was to make a puppet indistinguishable from a human. After more than twenty years of hard work, he finally collected every material mentioned in the book. The puppet had a body, but still needed a heart. Where could he find one? Wei Jin tried many hearts, but none met his expectations. A bankrupt merchant, desperate to make ends meet, sold Wei Jin an ancient book passed down through his family. The puppet came to life and opened its beautiful eyes. Its soft words nearly made Wei Jin unable to hold back his love. The one thing Wei Jin disliked was that the little puppet he had created would brazenly use that beautiful face to chat and laugh with other people. That was a bad habit. [Reading Notes] 1. The top is a fragmented being. The top and bottom are devoted exclusively to each other. 2. The romance in the real world begins after the top quits his job. 3. Lizards have a lot of bacteria in their mouths. If you get bitten, remember to go to the hospital for a rabies shot within 24 hours. 4. Creatures mentioned in the story have been given traits based on the author's personal tastes. Please don't compare them to real life. Coming soon: "Help! I Made a Wish on a Whim, and They Took It Seriously [Quick Transmigration]" Lin Jianbai's elders told him that words have power, so he should watch what he says. But Lin Jianbai never knew when to keep his mouth shut. [The Dead Buddha] While traveling, Lin Jianbai happened upon a ruined Buddha statue. The old folks always said not to worship roadside Buddhas, but Lin Jianbai didn't take it to heart. Not only did he worship it, he said something he shouldn't have. "All alone. You poor thing. Want to come home with me?" Some time later, his companions caught up with him, and Lin Jianbai soon forgot all about the incident. When the holidays came, he left school and went home, only to find that his mother had brought a Buddha statue home. "Why is it so damaged?" Lin Jianbai asked his mother, puzzled. "Pah, pah, pah! Jianbai is young and didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive him," his mother said quickly. Everyone except Lin Jianbai saw a brand-new statue. They said it had a compassionate face. After his mother brought the statue home, her illness went away, his father's company kept growing, and even the neighbors benefited. Only Lin Jianbai felt more and more uneasy as he looked at the strange statue. It seemed that the dead Buddha really had followed him home. [The Wish House] While out for a change of scenery, Lin Jianbai happened to hear the words "Wish House." They said it was very effective. "People who go in never come back out." "Why not?" "Because they find the treasure they lost." Lin Jianbai was curious. He went in and got nothing, so he came back out empty-handed. "What a fool." But a few days later, Lin Jianbai returned home-- "Jianbai, why aren't you greeting our guest?" His father frowned. "It's all right. I just dropped by unexpectedly," said the person on the other end of the sofa, looking at Lin Jianbai with warm eyes. He looked... just like he had when he was alive. The person who had always treated him well, but whom he had caused to drown, had returned. "Uncle Fang..." [Lover] Within a week, all three of Lin Jianbai's roommates had found partners. "Seriously? You guys are doing this to me?" He refused to accept it! "Actually... I have someone too." After putting on a show of hesitating, Lin Jianbai turned to his roommates. Lin Jianbai made up a lover: a name, an age, and a face. Yes, to convince his roommates, he even drew the lover's face by hand. Day after day, he added more and more details to his lies, and Lin Jianbai began to feel guilty. But his roommates never doubted him. "Don't you want to meet him?" Lin Jianbai asked one day. "We've already met him." "Huh?" His "lover" had really appeared. Don't give a name to someone who doesn't exist. He will hear you. [Hometown] Lin Jianbai's father told him never to return to this small town, but Lin Jianbai missed home too much... Reading Notes: 1. This story does not involve religion. The related settings are purely the result of the author's personal tastes running wild. 2. Quick Transmigration, but the worlds are unrelated, and the protagonist has no memories. Theme: The best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on.
