Dream Message

  Su Ye's soft sigh sounded faint and distant, like a drop of dew falling onto the green lotus in a quiet environment, clear and intoxicating, gentle and delicate, comparable to the beautiful sound of Kunlun jade.

  Just as he finished speaking, he heard a soft sigh at the moment he hung up his phone. He turned around and his gaze fell on Su Ye's cheek through the air without any difference. In the quiet night, she looked very beautiful, leaning lightly against the door, so slender and small, with a soft glow surrounding her, making her plain little face look even cleaner.

  She still wore his suit jacket, and due to their height difference, his suit jacket had become a coat on her.

  Somehow, Yan Bo's heart was touched at the bottom, as if a crack had opened in the deepest place, and a scoop of spring water was flowing slowly, very small, just like her soft sigh that floated into his ears.

  The night is somewhat enchanting.

  "Where is this?" Su Ye saw his bold and unobstructed gaze, but his expression was somewhat unnatural. He shifted his gaze away, walked forward, and sat down on the sofa. Next to the sofa, there were some file boxes piled up on the tea table.

  Nian Baiyan walked forward, "My resting room." He put the wine glass in his hand on the tea table and asked softly, "Want to drink something? Or maybe you're hungry."

  Su Ye shook her head and curled up on the sofa, she didn't want to eat or drink, this sleep-deprived feeling was simply terrible. More importantly, she didn't even need to ask how she ended up in this rest room, she couldn't have sleepwalked her way in, could she?

  "This is Liang Xuan's information, the red file box has things you haven't seen before." Nian Boyan pointed to the red box on the coffee table and got up to pour a glass of lemon water from the bar and handed it to Su Ye.

  Su Ye smiled slightly, looking a bit lazy, "Don't you know how to cherish and appreciate the beauty of things?"

  "If you were my employee, you might not even have time to sleep." Yan Bojian leaned back on the sofa, looking casual yet composed, his shirt collar slightly open due to his arm resting on the side of the sofa, revealing a hint of his sturdy chest. After saying this, he paused for a moment before adding another sentence with a tinge of concern, "Of course, if you're tired, I can send you home now."

  He had a pang of sympathy because he caught the hint of fatigue at the tip of her eyebrows, no one had ever dared to be so relaxed and lazy in front of him, especially women, she was the first. She lazily snuggled into the sofa, her large suit jacket covering her professional skirt just right, revealing a section of smooth white skin on her legs, like a white lotus flower, even from afar it seemed to radiate a faint fragrance. Her casually tied bun had come undone slightly, with a few strands of hair falling around her neck, looking enchanting.

  She actually made him break his usual practice and carry her into the resting room, and also broke his usual temper to wait for her to wake up.

  "Lucky I don't have a boss like you." Su Ye felt that his eyes were a bit strange, and the discomfort was even stronger. After adjusting her sitting posture, she said, "Your excessively strict attitude towards subordinates will directly increase their mental burden. If you encounter another subordinate like Liang Xuan who already has anxiety and lacks a sense of security, it's surprising if nothing happens."

  Nian Baiyan slightly raised an eyebrow, "Anxiety and lack of security?"

  Sometimes dreams and hypnosis are both a means of identifying the subconscious. From the perspective of human intuition, dreams have a certain degree of significance, often being an obscure implication that evades the brain's censorship mechanism through disguise and change. In short, the content of dreams is to fulfill one's desires.

  Su Ye took a sip of lemon water, pursed her lips, and looked at Nian Boyan, "I think you should have heard Liang Xuan mention his dream, in which he repeatedly saw a narrow passageway. In fact, clinical evidence has shown that many dreams of anxious people have this content, either dreaming of a passageway or being in the water."

  "Why is it like this?" Yearn Bock-yen didn't understand about this aspect, but he was still quite certain of her professional abilities.

  "It's simple, whether it's a tunnel or water, these are all based on memories of life in the womb. If such content appears in dreams, it's enough to show that the individual lacks a sense of security. He is anxious, his subconscious yearns for safety, and the womb is where we were born and raised, also the safest place." Su Ye said this, thought for a moment, and added, "Take the simplest example, if someone lacks a sense of security, they will often adopt a fetal position when sleeping, which is a memory of the safe posture in the mother's body. People who are open-minded and broad-hearted tend to like lying flat, this is how behavior determines a person's psychology. Dreams are the same, although the content is complicated and confusing, but after sorting out, it will accurately grasp the subconscious world."

  "Are you saying that Liang Xuan committed murder because of severe anxiety disorder?" Yan Baiyan slightly furrowed his brow.

  "Of course not, his anxiety disorder was something he originally had. This is just a small part of the content I read from my dream. To know all the messages in his dreams, I still need to understand more." Su Ye stretched out her hand and flipped through the files in the red box, sighing slightly, "At least, I have to finish reading all the information about him."

  Nian Baiyan seemed lost in thought.

  "Huh? What's this?" She carefully looked at a disc with no file name written on it, completely blank.

  Nian Baiyan took a look and said, "It should be some video material." He got up and inserted the disc into the computer. Soon, the huge screen on the wall flickered and showed a vast expanse of snowflakes.

  Su Ye was slightly surprised and subconsciously said, "It can't be empty, right?"

  Before the words had faded away, the screen flickered and a high-definition image appeared. The image was of a girl who was extremely beautiful and pure-looking, appearing to be a student with a backpack on her back.

  Su Ye immediately reached out to flip through Liang Xuan's interpersonal relationship data, her eyebrows were almost twisted into water, and she turned her head to look at Nian Boyan, "Who is this? The data doesn't seem to have this girl."

  While asking the question, she didn't look at the screen and just waited for Yan Bo Yi's answer. Unexpectedly, his expression looked a bit surprised, but quickly turned into a playful smile. His slender fingers pressed against his forehead, as if he was holding back laughter. She was even more puzzled, but he raised an eyebrow and gestured to her to look at the screen.

  Su Ye looked back and almost had his eyes bulging out after taking a glance.

  This is actually an adult film...

  She was stiff all over on the sofa.

  The Yan Bo next to him seemed to have been holding back his smile for a long time, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a good curve. Compared to the content on the screen, he was more interested in Su Ye's expression.

  "This... how can there be such a movie?" It's not possible to say that her face didn't turn red and her heart didn't skip a beat, but more than that, she felt embarrassed, after all, Nian Baiyi was still sitting next to her. She glared at him with annoyance, suppressing the shock in her mind, "You did it on purpose?"

  "I really don't know." Yan Bojian suppressed his smile and immediately claimed innocence, taking the remote control to turn it off.

  "Wait—" Su Ye unexpectedly pressed down on his hand.

  Nian Baiyan glanced at her sideways, his gaze falling on her small hand again, which was slightly cool and still trembling, but his heart unexpectedly warmed up a bit.

  "I think I'll finish reading it." Su Ye cleared her throat and forced out these few words, her face flushing bright red.

  This time, Yan Bojian was unexpectedly surprised, and she also saw the astonishment at the bottom of his eyes as she wished.

  Nothing could be more embarrassing than this, a beautiful young woman like her watching an exciting movie with a man she's only met twice in a confined space.

  Of course, it's worth mentioning that this man is deep and reserved, with a heart that's hard to read. Even if she uses her sharp eyes to observe him carefully, all she can see is a hint of surprise in his eyes. Of course, what's even more worth mentioning is that when the video starts playing, she finally gets a glimpse into the extravagant lives of the wealthy, with 360-degree surround sound and immersive audio that makes her feel like she's right there at the concert hall, let alone the seductive music.

  Nian Baiyan's astonishment at the bottom of his eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression as he looked down at her from above, "Are you sure you want to see?"

  Su Ye and others naturally understood his expression, looking up to meet his gaze with a smile that was not quite a smile. "The details of life reveal psychological activities, this is what the job requires, Mr. Nian, are you thinking too much?"

  Nian Baiyan detected the provocation in her tone and slightly raised the corner of his lips, "Then take your time to look." After finishing speaking, he turned around.

  Su Ye lay on the sofa, staring at his majestic side profile, seeing him sit back down beside the bar, pouring a glass of wine, the ice cubes like warm jade scattering cold light in the dazzling **.

  Nian Baiyan gently swayed his cup and took a light sip, looking so calm and composed amidst the surround sound filling the room.

  Su Ye recognized the wine in the cup, L' (Louis XIII), Louis XIII's top wine, said to be launched at a grand dinner party in the Palace of Versailles, this is the world's most noble wine product, not to mention the wine itself, but the wine bottle is handmade by crystal, and the gold-plated flower ring under the curve like a drop of wine is even more like a rare treasure. This wine can be called the soul of Louis XIII, "the holy one among wines".

  A man who can drink this wine, apart from his noble status, can also reveal his character, at least it can be seen that he has very high demands on people and things, and even reaches the extreme of severity.

  She hadn't planned on watching with him in the first place, after all, it was an awkwardness she couldn't even imagine. But seeing him there, so nonchalant and unruffled, her heart suddenly stirred up a playful interest, and she wondered if this man's expression would change any further. Her beautiful eyes rolled around, suppressing the fleeting mischievous smile at the corner of her lips, and she reached out to press the remote control, instantly increasing the volume, filling every corner of the room with sound.

  She saw Yan Bo looking over here with a smile, holding a pillow in his arms, and the whole person looked even more lazy. He opened his mouth and said, "Do you think men prefer to be thrown into their arms or forced to come?"

  Nian Baiyan Wei's body turned around, his arm also lazily placed on the bar, his calm eyes fell on Su Ye's face, seemingly uninterested in the content on the screen.

  "I'm really sincere in my request." Su Ye smiled "innocently" at him across the air filled with the scent of wine.

  Nian Baiyan looked at her for a long time, then slightly hooked his lips, without saying a word, and continued to taste the beautiful wine in his cup with a calm and peaceful expression. Su Ye was so angry that she wanted to rush forward and tear open his face skin to see his inner heart, but after calming down, she dropped her gaze back onto the screen, yet her mind kept circling around how to break Nian Baiyan's damn tranquility.

  More than two minutes passed again——

  "My goodness, is this okay?" Su Ye intentionally exclaimed, and immediately pretended to be curious, looking at Nian Boyan, "Have you done such a high-difficulty move before?"

  Nian Baiyan remained silent, slowly savoring his wine, but his eyes gazing at Su Ye had become slightly somber. Due to the distance and the dim lighting in the room, Su Ye didn't notice the subtle change in his expression, and seeing him so calm and collected, she couldn't help but think that this man was truly incomprehensible.

  The content on the screen is getting more and more stuck.

  She felt a little uneasy, the wine fragrance in the air was more intoxicating, Yan Bo like a silent shadow sat there, neither leaving nor approaching, for a moment it made her feel that at this moment he seemed to be sizing her up, speculating about her.

  The phone suddenly rang loudly, and she was startled. Yan Baiyan picked up the phone and gestured for her to turn down the volume. She nodded with a smile but intentionally turned it back up again. On the other end of the line, Yan Baiyan had already answered, looking at her with a hint of helplessness.

  Su Ye pressed her lips tightly to suppress a smile. Nian Boyan stared at her, shook his head and chuckled after a while, then took his phone and entered the bedroom.

  Men are really patient, Su Ye couldn't help but deeply admire them.

  She turned down the volume and focused on the video, fast-forwarding through the unbearable scenes that flashed before her eyes. The video was quite long, consisting of multiple short clips, and Su Ye discovered that several of them were all of the same type, making her start to feel uncomfortable.

  Just as she was about to fast forward, the remote control in her hand was suddenly snatched away. She looked up to find it was Yan Bo Yi. He took the remote control and sat down beside her, his tall body leaning against the back of the sofa, making the large sofa seem unusually small due to his proximity.

  "Give me back the remote control." Su Ye didn't expect him to come over directly, and she calmed down.

  "What can you see by rushing ahead like this?" Yan Bo Yan said slowly.

  She forced a gentle smile and said, "Yes, I'll take my time to watch it. Just don't disturb me while I'm working." She had only intended to tease him initially, not really planning to watch the movie with him, especially not with someone as handsome as him sitting next to her, which would be distracting.

  "You were just asking one thing after another, and I could tell you had a lot of questions. So I came over to help answer them for you." Yan Bo Yan looked down at her, his thin lips curled up into a subtle serious expression.

  Su Ye ate a dumb loss, jumped into the pit she dug herself, and could only continue watching the video with a hard scalp. The picture was too detailed, and Yan Bo also didn't plan to fast forward, she endured it again and finally blurted out, "I don't need to watch this process, fast forward!"

  "You're a psychologist, you can't let any detail go, that's what you said just now." Nian Boyan's voice was so good it was deadly, falling on her ear, close to almost piercing her heart.

  "Alright, I'll take a look." Su Ye's face broke into a smile as she forced out these few words through gritted teeth.

  Nian Baiyan smiled faintly, his long right leg elegantly crossed over his left, and under the interweaving of night charm and light, he looked even more enchanting. Su Ye sat a bit stiffly, and the more relaxed the man beside her was, the more uncomfortable she became.

  Restless air currents began to float in the air.

  It was the faint scent of wine and the refreshing coolness emanating from his body, intertwined together, that created a strange atmosphere surrounding her. Yes, he had just drunk alcohol! This realization made her heart skip a beat, she shrank her shoulders and tightened her coat, but at the bottom of her heart, she felt a slight tremble, and the coat on her was also his.

  She began to realize that she had made a mistake and shouldn't have provoked the drunken man.

  "Come on." She had to lower her voice in front of Nian Boyan.

  Nian Baiyan had been staring at her gradually stiffening back the entire time, until she slightly turned her head and bowed to him. A strange feeling flashed through his heart, under the light, her small face was somewhat pale, but her cheeks were slightly flushed. She wasn't looking at him, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her tone of voice like dew drops falling into the depths of his heart.

  He couldn't help but admit, she was too beautiful, even just lightly closing her eyes was breathtakingly beautiful, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. As he approached her, his figure almost enveloped her.

  "Are you begging for mercy?" was originally a sentence with a hint of sympathy, but when it came out of his mouth, it had an unusual tone.

  Suddenly, a rich and mellow voice appeared beside her ear, seemingly full of concern, but with an even stronger hint of affection.

  He got too close, so close that she could feel his body heat, and when she looked up again, she accidentally met his deep eyes, and her sensitive heart caught a glimpse of the fleeting interest at the bottom of his eyes. Suddenly, it dawned on her that this was Ye Bo Yan's pure-hearted revenge!

  He glared at him fiercely, then shifted his gaze back to the video, but his face changed color due to the sudden intensification of the abnormal behavior on the screen.

  "What's wrong?" Yan Bojian originally only wanted to tease her, seeing that she changed her face, he reached out and pulled her over.

  Who would have thought that Su Ye pushed him away with one hand and rushed into the bathroom, Yan Bo followed up in a daze.

  The bathroom, Su Ye was leaning over the sink, retching nonstop, her stomach churning like a stormy sea, with only acidic water coming up. Nian Boyan stood beside the sink, looking at her with a helpless smile, "Doctor Su's mental toughness needs to be strengthened."

  The nausea had finally subsided, and with a sigh of relief, she washed her face weakly. "That scene was really too nauseating." She stood up, but for a moment felt dizzy and almost fell over.

  Her waist suddenly tightened, and the man stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, immediately following which she fell into the man's broad chest.

  "Are you all right?" He eyed her pale little face.

  The two were almost close together, and Su Ye didn't know why her heart was beating faster.

  "It's nothing." She shook her head and was about to leave his arms, but a strand of long hair got caught on the button of his shirt.

  Su Ye was taken aback and hurriedly reached out to tidy her hair, but the more she pulled, the more disheveled it became.

  He stood still at first, lowering his head to look at her pulling her own hair, seeing the fine sweat on her forehead and couldn't help but reach out to hold her hand, saying in a low voice, "I'll do it."

  She only felt that her fingers were scorched by his palm, stopped moving, and handed over the initiative to him. She had never been so embarrassed with a man before.

  Nian Bo Yan gently combed through her hair with his fingers, and because she was lowering her head, his breath swept across her cheek. At such a close distance, he could easily smell the faint fragrance on her body.

  After all her hairpins were removed, he unexpectedly stroked her hair and said lightly, "Is this what they call 'losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken'?"

  It was obvious that he was being ridiculed, and Su Ye's fighting spirit rose again. He lowered his head, and the long hair slipped down from his fingertips. "As for me, I'm indeed not as psychologically strong as Mr. Nian in such matters."

  Nian Baiyan looked down at her from a high place, not saying a word. Her heart was always uneasy within his range, and just as she was about to push him away and return to her residence, he suddenly stretched out his hand and leaned it against the wall, blocking her way. Su Ye blinked once, preparing to leave from the other side, but his other large hand also followed and pressed down.

  In this way, his two arms completely blocked her path, trapping her between his chest and the wall.

  "Are you going to get angry now?" Su Ye raised her head and stared at him, trying to sound calm.

  "I suddenly thought of a question that I haven't answered for you yet." Yan Bo Yan slowly curled up the corners of his mouth. "What was it that you just asked me? Do I like being taken advantage of or do I like being forced?"

  Su Ye's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up with vigilance.

  Nian Bo Yan's tall figure gradually pressed down, his handsome face slowly approaching her, close enough to see his reflection in the depths of her eyes, close enough to take in her fragrance wholeheartedly with each breath.

  Su Ye didn't expect him to make this move, her entire back stiffened and leaned against the wall, although she tried to keep a calm face, but her heart was already racing irregularly.

  "Mr. Nian, you're already married." Seeing him getting closer and closer to her, she suddenly spoke out, planning to remind him of a crucial point. "If you dare to make any improper moves now, that's a problem with your morals."

  "What if I dare?" Yan Bo said with a slight squint, his thin lips whispering these words against her cheek, low and intimidating.

  "Your wife must be a good girl, otherwise you wouldn't have married her. Don't waste such a good girl." Su Ye was startled by his response, as a man like him who is usually calm and serious would never make such a joke. Seeing the light in his eyes growing deeper, she spoke without thinking, her whole body pressed tightly against the wall, her head tilted to one side, but finding it hard to avoid the man's increasingly scorching breath, the faint scent of wine swirling around her also grew stronger.

  The man's pupils contracted and then he spoke slowly, "She is indeed a good girl."

  Su Ye always felt that his words were a bit awkward, and before she could think clearly, he directly pressed his head down. She suddenly stared wide-eyed, her mind blank.

  Nian Baiyan, however, unexpectedly didn't do anything out of line. He slightly tilted his head, his nose passing through her hair, and opened his mouth, his low voice carrying a hint of warning, "Men are very dangerous, be careful not to get burned by playing with fire."

  Su Ye's pores opened one by one with this loud voice, and her shoulders stiffened.

  "I appreciate your boldness in trying twice, but next time, don't do that again." Yan Bo also just wanted to tease her and didn't really want to do anything to her. He straightened his body, withdrew his arm and added, "In any case, if something really happens, it's the girl who suffers."

  "Before and after twice?" Su Ye didn't understand.

  Nian Baiyan's gaze returned to its usual calmness, "That night..." His words were half spoken and half left unspoken, the unspoken half was strange no matter how one thought about it.

  "So do we have..."

  "What do you think?" asked Nian Boyan, crossing his arms over his chest.

  Su Ye's cold sweat trickled down her spine like a crawling centipede, causing her entire body to tense up. She stared intently at Nian Boyan's face, trying to get an answer from him. After a while, she tentatively said, "You... shouldn't have touched me."

  Firstly, she really had no impression of what happened that night and only vaguely remembered falling into his arms; secondly, although she didn't know much about Yan Baiyan, through their brief contact, she could initially determine that he wasn't the kind of man who would take advantage of someone in a vulnerable situation. Moreover, his conditions were excellent, so there was no need for him to be desperate, right?

  Nian Baiyan looked at her and smiled faintly.

  "Thank goodness." Su Ye was almost tempted to throw herself into his arms and kiss him, her hands clasped together in gratitude. "I'm so grateful for your self-control."

  "Don't thank me, because I'm actually regretting it." Yan Bojian spoke calmly, the smile at the corner of his lips seeming both genuine and fake.

  The pure leaves stopped the excitement at the bottom of her eyes, and when she stared at him again, a sense of unease that was difficult to describe suddenly rose in her heart, a true sense of unease...
