Rachel's dreams were sometimes about the hospital. Other times, it was about her college days or the year she went abroad alone.
It was always a dynamic story, but she could never remember what had happened. The only traces of her dreams were the feelings she felt.
When she woke up, she felt lonely and sad. She felt like she had scratched someone.
But that person did not get mad at her. Whoever she was with had been very patient and gentle.
It reminded her of her father.
She slowly opened her eyes and yawned quietly. She looked around the dark and unfamiliar room.
Beneath her, she felt her "pillow" stiffen.
Curiously, she reached out and poked it. Strangely, it was firm, but also a little soft on the sides.
It seemed to be...
A deep voice penetrated into the silence. "Are you awake?"
Her eyes widened and she raised her head up to meet Jack's eyes. She finally realized that she wasn't lying down on a pillow, but on top of his waist!
Scared, she tried to stand up quickly, but landed on Jack's chest instead. She felt their bodies clash with a thump and heard a muffled hum coming from him.
"I'm sorry." She got up and quietly sat beside him. When she saw his pale face
wer.
Lea narrowed her eyes at her silence. Something must have happened. She held her head up high and crossed her arms.
"Okay. Tell me what happened. Don't bother lying!"
"Ahem!" Rachel tried to change the subject. "Nothing serious, it's just a mosquito bite..."
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Lea narrowed her eyes at Rachel.
She knocked on the table with her index finger. "I'm your best friend! Just tell me."
Rachel touched her lips again. She recalled Jack's bossy expression and involuntarily blushed.
Lea looked her up and down. Persistently, she stood up and placed her hands on the table, looking at Rachel. Since she still didn't answer, Lea sat back down.
Impatiently, she lowered her voice and said, "Tell me the truth! Who is he?"
"Uh..." Rachel quickly put her hand down. She tried to hide any hint of emotion. "No one. It was just an accident."
"Really?" Lea doubted. "What accident? Why is your mouth swollen?"
Rachel blushed out of control and almost jumped up from the seat.
Suddenly, Lea shifted her attention to someone behind Rachel. Before she could look back, Rachel felt a big hand on her shoulder. A deep voice chuckled. "Miss Ye, why are you so aggressive?"
