A Short Extra Story
Good night, Mr. Liu.
Heat spread from my ear to my entire body and soul. My lifelong wish had finally come true after I had this person.
Love was an amazing thing.
“Mm, good night.” I replied.
Then I held him in my arms and sank into sleep.
In the dream, there was him, there was me, there was the future.

After getting off work and coming home, before I even reached the stairwell, I saw a woman, a heavily made-up woman. There was no denying it, any normal man would be drawn to her.
She had her arm around President He’s. Although his back was to me, I could imagine the impatient look on his face, subtle and almost impossible to notice.
Seeing that he was utterly unmoved, the woman leaned her exposed body closer. With my 5.2 eyesight, I could catch a glimpse of those two lumps of flesh bobbing up and down. An unidentifiable surge of anger rose in me, but I quickly let it go. I had fallen for him in this life, and that was that.
Only after the woman left did I start walking forward. I hugged him from behind, sniffing the unfamiliar scent of perfume, and rubbed my nose.
“What is it?” I asked in a muffled voice.
I got no answer. What came instead was his restrained laughter, so close it made my heart tingle.
“Just some irrelevant person.” He returned to his usual expression of indifference.
Since he said that, I could only let go of him. Fine! Isn’t there a lyric that says, “Those who are favored are always fearless”? I smiled slightly. I had plenty of ways to make him tell the truth.
At night, the dusk draped the ambiguous room like a green curtain.
After doing everything that came before, President He was already gasping for breath, his face flushed pink.
The best time to interrogate him.
As for how it ended.
In any case, Mr. Liu was refreshed and full of energy the next day, and that was what mattered.
