As the kiss deepened, her wide eyes, still filled with surprise, slowly closed. Her eyelashes fluttered, creating a small sl*t in her eyelids, through which she could see Wei Ziqi's expression.
But before she could fully make sense of it, her gaze blurred, and she saw Wei Ziqi turn his head. A soft, slightly ticklish sensation brushed against her neck, making her instinctively lean back.
She felt a sudden chill in her body, and Wei Ran startled, shivering all over.
Her mind snapped back, and she mumbled to herself, "I can't..."
"No!" She suddenly opened her eyes, crying out as she sat up abruptly.
Blinking in confusion, she realized she was in her own room, unsure of when she had fallen asleep.
The dark room was only lit by the pale light of the moon.
The cold white light faintly illuminated her shoulder, making her feel strangely cold.
Her body was damp, having broken into a cold sweat in her sleep.
Wei Ran breathed heavily, crossing her arms over her chest, trying to hug herself tight.
She didn't understand why she suddenly remembered that event from years ago. She should have forgotten it by now. Before tonight, she had little memory of it, but tonight, it had suddenly intruded into her dreams.
The latter part of the dream made her fearful.
She couldn't understand why she had dreamt of something so intimate with Wei Ziqi. Was it just because of that sudden kiss before she went to sleep?
The warm sensation flowing in her abdomen made her body jolt, and she frowned in confusion. Panicked, she turned on the bedside lamp.
Wei Ran blushed deeply. Even though she was alone in the room, she still felt embarrassed about what she was about to do.
Under the soft yellow light of the lamp, she lifted the blanket.
In her sleep, the hem of her nightgown had already been lifted by her restless posture, becoming a tangled mess.
An indescribable empty ache made her curl up into a ball.
Feeling a dampness, Wei Ran gasped, startled. Trembling hands fumbled as she nervously explored.
Wei Ran's lower abdomen suddenly contracted, and she shuddered immediately.
She was scared and didn't know what was happening to her.
With a sudden jolt, Wei Ran quickly rolled out of bed and dashed into the bathroom.
She turned on the shower, not caring whether the hot water had started running. She plunged herself into the cold water, quickly washing herself clean.
The next morning, when Wei Ran woke up to the sound of the alarm clock, she was still a bit shivery from the cold shower the night before.
Because of that dream, she was even afraid to sleep, fearing that all her dreams would be about Wei Ziqi.
The previous dream had been interrupted by her sudden awakening, but she was afraid that if she fell asleep again, she would continue the rest of the dream.
So, when she looked at herself in the mirror, she noticed a dark shadow had formed under her eyes.
Wei Ran could only slap her cheeks hard, trying to make her face look a little better.
As she left the bedroom, she silently prayed not to encounter Wei Ziqi at the breakfast table.
Wei Ziqi didn't often appear at the breakfast table, and neither did Wei Minghao or Lin Qiuyue.
Wei Minghao, as the chairman of "Wufeng," would leave home around three or four in the morning to go to the office.
Lin Qiuyue, on the other hand, ran a well-known domestic company called "Qiu" specializing in interior design and decoration. Even the design of the "Dynasty" building was done by "Qiu" and personally designed by Lin Qiuyue.
So, Lin Qiuyue was also always busy and left home early.
Most of the time, Wei Ran was the only one at the breakfast table.
As she was about to reach the dining room, Wei Ran involuntarily held her breath.
She paused for a moment, then steeled herself and walked into the dining room. Upon seeing who was sitting at the table, she froze, quickly stopping in her tracks.
Wei Ziqi was leisurely sitting at the table, eating his breakfast at a slow and steady pace. Hearing Wei Ran's footsteps, he looked up at her.
Wei Ran was wearing her school uniform, which was inspired by traditional Hanfu but had been modified. The skirt wasn't too long, just reaching her knees.
There were no school names or any related characters printed on the uniform. The design was such that the beauty of the uniform would not be interrupted by any text.
The uniform was unique, and there was only one school nationwide with such a design, so there was no need for any prints.
Anyone who saw this uniform would immediately know that Wei Ran was a student from "Jixia Academy."
