Chapter 4 Her Dream

There was a line between the two of them. Carolyn didn't worry about Derrick's moral quality. She slept soundly last night, as if she were sleeping on her own bed.

However, in the middle of the night, she began to dream again.

The touch was real and the voice was clear, only the man's face she couldn't see clearly.

"Uh..." She woke up in a daze. The dim room was a completely strange scene, which made her stunned.

"What's wrong? Have a nightmare? " The man's voice came from the side of her. It was a pleasant sound, mixed with a trace of laziness that had just woken up.

It was not until then that Carolyn came to her senses and realized where she was.

"Ah... No, no... " She denied subconsciously, stuttering.

With a click, the bedside table lamp was turned on by Derrick, and the light blue light enveloped the two of them.

Seeing her red face, Derrick frowned and reached out to touch her forehead. "Why is your face so red? Are you sick and having a fever? "

His movements were smooth and natural, as if he had done it countless times.

When his cold fingertips touched her skin, Carolyn couldn't help but tremble slightly. She avoided his hands and said, "I'm really fine! I just... I just had a dream... "

"What? What dream? "

"Well..." Carolyn hesitated and didn't know how to say.

It seemed inappropriate to tell a strange man such a thing as spring dream to him.

And she did it almost every night, not occasionally. If someone knew it, he might laugh at her for being too thirsty!

Carolyn kept silent, but Derrick seemed to understand something from her expression. His clear eyes gradually turned ambiguous. "Oh, it's that kind of dream..."

After the secret was exposed, Carolyn covered herself with the quilt and didn't say anything. She didn't dare to look into Derrick's eyes.

Carolyn had never mentioned this dream to anyone. Derrick was the only one who knew it.

"If you don't deny it, then you are admitting it? Then, who are you dreaming about? "

There was a hint of banter in Derrick's deep voice. Carolyn couldn't help pulling away the quilt and glanced at him. His angular face was against the light, which looked a little blurry and somewhat like the outline in her dream.

"I... How could I know? People in the dream couldn't be seen clearly, isn't it? " She snorted and looked away with a slightly red face. After a moment of silence, she continued in a low voice, "In fact, I have been dreaming since seven years ago. I don't know why, but the doctor said it was a normal phenomenon, and he told me not to be too stressed... But I have the same dream every day, of course I am stressed. Am I insane? "

She couldn't stop talking about the topic she had been repressing for a long time.

She had no place to pour out her troubles for so many years, but now she turned to this strange man who she liked very much.

After listening to her words, Derrick's interested expression gradually changed into an incomprehensible face.

He said word by word, "You mean you have dreamed the same dream for seven years?"

She nodded, "Yes, maybe... I don't remember what happened seven years ago... "

Derrick's eyes darkened.

Seven years...

It turned out that she really didn't remember him. She didn't remember everything that had happened with him seven years ago...

What on earth had she experienced these years? And why did she forget him so completely?

He frowned deeper and deeper. Even Carolyn, who was staying next to him, couldn't help but pat him on the arm. "Don't worry. I'm really not insane!"

He glanced at her slowly with a faint smile on his lips. "It doesn't matter. Since you don't remember, just let it go... It's only four o'clock in the morning. Let's sleep. "

Derrick's face was so beautiful that it could heal everything when he smiled.

Carolyn nodded. For the first time, she didn't feel upset because of that dream. On the contrary, she felt very stable in her heart.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning sprinkled into the bedroom through the gap between the curtains.

On the bed, Carolyn stretched her arms and legs lazily, but happened to wake up the man next to her.

She was shocked but it was too late to take her hand back. The man's tightly closed eyes slowly opened. Under his long eyelashes, his black jade-liked eyes were covered with a layer of sleepiness. Derrick glanced at Carolyn and almost instinctively reached out to hold her in his arms. He even raised his head and rubbed against her forehead, as if he had done it countless times.

"Good morning."

His voice was lazy and charming, and his warm breath was gently on her skin. In addition, the two of them hugged each other tightly. The ambiguity in the air made Carolyn a little breathless.

"Uh... Good morning... "

'This sudden morning kiss... What do you mean?'

Carolyn was held in Derrick's arms. They could feel each other's breath and heartbeat when they were close to each other. She was full of various fancies and conjectures, but she couldn't figure it out.

It was not until her phone on the bedside table rang that she suddenly woke up and reached out to answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Where are you, Carolyn? Did you hang out with a man again? Why are you so impenitent? You've already killed your father. Why didn't you just learn how to behave yourself? "

On the other side of the phone, her stepmother, Mae, sounded a little exasperated.

In the past few years, Carolyn had been scolded by her almost every day. She had been used to it, so she asked in a calm tone, Aunt, what can I do for you?"

"Of course! Come back now! "

After saying that, Mae hung up the phone in a hurry.

When Carolyn stared at the phone screen in a daze, the man behind her asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... I have something to deal with. Well, thank you for taking me in last night. I'll pay you back when I have the chance! " Carolyn forced a smile and pulled herself out of his arms. She moved to the bedside and packed up her things.

Looking at her slightly flustered figure, Derrick leaned against the edge of the bed, with an imperceptible smile on his lips. "Let me drive you home, okay?"

"No, thanks! I can take a bus. It won't take long! " Carolyn tidied up her clothes and said goodbye to Derrick. Then she came to the street alone.
