My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 200 - 186: Oh No, We’re Finished!

The spring laziness enveloped in embroidered quilt, as if following a fairy away from the mundane world. Who conjured the dream of Huaxu? A culprit of boundless charm through the ages.

"What a sin, truly a sin!"

"How could I, who have been virtuous all my life, have such an utterly depraved dream?!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Two girls sat by the breakfast table, uninterested in eating, grumbling endlessly. Li Peifeng cautiously ate quietly, trying to be invisible.

After waking him and Xu Manning up, Wu Wenyue repeatedly pressured Li Peifeng to admit if he had the same dream. Li Peifeng, of course, did not confess. The two girls were in a bad mood; if he told the truth, it could be his end.

Yet, weighing the options, he didn't exactly deny it either, because the two girls would eventually find out he did have the dream too!

After all, Li Peifeng's new book is about the dream world, and when Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue read it, seeing that familiar otherworld, they would understand everything. There was no point in telling a lie that would eventually be uncovered.

Thus, Li Peifeng ambiguously excused himself to the kitchen to avoid confrontation, using breakfast-making as a pretext.

However, Wu Wenyue, seeing him avoid the topic, did not feel like pursuing it further and started verifying the dream's details with Miss Xu.

They went through it all to check for any discrepancies, only to find that the dreams were not just similar but identical to the last detail...

"How could this be?"

Even during breakfast, Xu Manning was engrossed in shock, unwilling to let go, searching for information about Shared Dreams on her phone, still obviously skeptical: "Does the phenomenon of different people having the same dream really exist in the world?"

Wu Wenyue glanced at the silent Li Peifeng, feeling irritable: "Actually, I've seen others have a Shared Dream before."

"Really?" Xu Manning eagerly asked: "What happened?"

Wu Wenyue acknowledged, frowning: "During my undergraduate days, I stayed in a dorm where two roommates had the same dream. They both woke up at the same time in the middle of the night, surprised to see each other. They discussed the details and found the experiences in the dream were exactly the same, just from different perspectives. At that time, I happened to be studying at the desk under the bed and witnessed their process of falling asleep to waking up."

"Oh? What was their dream?"

"They dreamt about competing in the collegiate track and field championships a month later. One got first place, and the other second, and they even had a conversation on the podium, which was word for word the same."

"And a month after the dream, they did achieve those results in the championships..."

"What?" Xu Manning was stunned: "So accurate?"

Wu Wenyue glanced again at Li Peifeng, who continued feigning ignorance. Her previously subdued irritation flared up again: "Are you secretly laughing? Do you think this dream will come true too?"

No! I'm just laughing inside; I haven't shown a trace on my face!!

Li Peifeng almost buried his face in his rice bowl.

"Forget it, ignore him!"

Xu Manning dismissively waved her hand, pulling Wu Wenyue closer: "Continue about your roommates. Were they aware in the dream? I mean, did they have control over their actions in the dream? I feel the dream we had might be different from theirs. Instead of a dream, it felt more like we traveled through it. We were still conscious, all actions were self-controlled."

Wu Wenyue thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No, in the dream, they were more like watching a movie, more like spectators rather than..."

Before finishing her sentence, Wu Wenyue realized something, twitching the corner of her mouth: "You mean you were conscious in the dream and acted normally? It's fine if you say that for yourself; don't represent me. Anyway, I wasn't in control. I was just a bystander, and the person in the dream wasn't me!!"

Got it, got it, why shout so loud?!

"Hmm, I misspoke. Actually, I wasn't self-controlled in the dream either..."

Xu Manning gave a sheepish smile, then turned her gaze to Li Peifeng, with a dangerous look in her eyes.

"Want me to peel an egg for you?"

Li Peifeng deflected the topic, carefully edging his chair back, attempting to escape Miss Xu's attack range.

But the table was only so big, and Xu Manning got up and pinched his ear, smirking: "Sit over! Didn't you say you would peel eggs for us? Then peel one for me!"

"Alright, alright."

Li Peifeng gave in meekly, and Miss Xu, seeing his obedience, felt it inappropriate to vent her anger on him further. Or perhaps more important matters awaited the two girls to be verified!

"Should we ask Xuanxuan... Sister Tianxuan?"

Xu Manning looked hesitant: "And Xiaoge... Professor Zhao?"

It's normal to find it hard to switch back after casually using dream nicknames in reality!

Li Peifeng pretended not to hear, keeping his expression neutral, while Wu Wenyue was caught in a dilemma: "Should we ask?"

"I remember you promised them, that you would ask after waking up, and even agreed on a secret code of Aolai Kingdom..."

"That was a promise made in the dream! The me in the dream isn't the real me!"

The resolute look on Wu Wenyue's face lasted only two seconds before she gave in: "What would it matter if we told them? If we say the secret code and they admit to dreaming, it would just be awkward between us. How would we interact in the future? If they deny it, they might be embarrassed to admit, or perhaps they really didn't dream... Asking doesn't make a difference!"
