"Reunion after a long separation | Secret crush | Parallel worlds"
"Radiant, gentle psychiatrist x sensitive, insecure poor little thing"
Blurb:
Dream telepathy is the ability of humans to communicate with other people who are dreaming through telepathy.
Put simply, it is a resonance between souls.
Shen Zhiyu is a psychiatrist. She falls for one of her patients, or more accurately, she falls for the patient in her dreams.
In the experimental dream,
he is the center of attention on the campus stage, uninhibited and dazzling.
But away from the stage, in a deserted corner late at night, he gazes at her with lonely sorrow.
"Are you lost, Shen Zhiyu?"
She doesn’t know him, yet he knows her name.
But this is a dream, and everything can be explained away as "just a dream."
After waking, she looks at Xie Yihan, still asleep.
His uneven bangs conceal his gloomy brow, and his tightly pressed lips speak of nerves always stretched taut.
He is not the man from her dreams.
An inexplicable disappointment fills her heart, only for her to bury it deep inside.
This is a long-term psychological experiment involving dreams, but repeated experiments often bring serious side effects.
Shen Zhiyu is suffering from them.
She can no longer tell whether it is a dream or another world.
One time, after waking from a dream, she stumbles toward him, only to see him step back, keeping the same sensitive, distant space between them as always.
"Dr. Shen, thank you for everything you’ve done for me."
Shen Zhiyu looks at the man who, in her dreams, holds her in his arms and spends the night entwined with her, now cowering gloomily in his own little corner of the world.
They are not the same person after all.
It takes two to make a sound, and between them, no one dares reach out anymore.
She thinks it is time to make a decision.
"I’m sorry. Let’s end the experiment."
-
Xie Yihan regrets it. He has already let himself indulge in forbidden thoughts, so how could he possibly be greedy for more?
Whether the Patient Dream Record Book is true or false, all he has to do is put on a mask, pretend to be "him" and take his place. Then he can become a fake version of another "Xie Yihan."
He has no choice. He has already thrown himself in headfirst, and like the first time they met, he has fallen to pieces.
*Little scene
During their lunch break, two nurses from the psychiatry department gossip about the hospital’s latest "big news."
"That Dr. Wen is so handsome and gentle, and always so proper. Who would have thought someone like him would publicly pursue Dr. Shen? I heard they’ve known each other for ages. Do you think Dr. Shen likes him too...?"
At that moment, Xie Yihan pins Dr. Shen in her chair, holding her firmly in place. His grip is fierce, but his lips only brush hers with deliberate restraint.
"Xiaoyu, they say you like Wen Chen."
Shen Zhiyu hooks an arm around his tense neck and sighs softly into his ear.
"Xie Yihan, I like you. The you that you are now, the you from before, the you in my dreams. It has always been you."
Reading guide:
1. [Important] The male lead is not the heroine’s patient! He is another doctor’s patient, and he does not have a mental illness!
2. Fictional setting, dream-world parallel-universe swapping, both leads are each other’s first and only, happy ending.
3. Sweet with a hint of bitterness, but mostly sweet, so feel free to dive in! ^_^
