Chapter 100: A Lang, Are You Crazy?!
Who knows how long passed.
Tossing and turning, Ma Xiaofei finally fell asleep under the influence of alcohol on the single bed in the second bedroom of her best friend Marry Yang's house.
Half-asleep, half-awake.
Ma Xiaofei turned over and suddenly found a man lying beside her, which startled her.
In the dim moonlight, Ma Xiaofei clearly saw Lin Lang's face, sleeping intimately beside her, his arms wrapped around her. She instantly widened her eyes and exclaimed in shock, "Lin Lang, are you crazy?!"
"Why aren't you sleeping with Marry in the master bedroom? How did you end up in my bed in the middle of the night?"
Lin Lang put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, embraced Ma Xiaofei, and whispered back, "Xiaofei Jie, I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Ma Xiaofei replied with an exaggerated expression, "Nonsense! You climbed into my bed in the middle of the night. If Marry finds out, I'm dead! Don't you think I'd be scared?"
Lin Lang, however, gently caressed Ma Xiaofei's cheek and chuckled mischievously, "Weren't you quite bold when you deliberately provoked me?"
Ma Xiaofei weakly said, "My heart is pounding in my throat right now!"
"Xiao Pa Cai, hurry up and get back to the master bedroom! I don't want Marry to catch us in the second bedroom. How would we still be best friends after that?"
"Sleeping with Xiaofei Jie is so comfortable. Let's just sleep like this until dawn!" Lin Lang refused to leave the bed.
Ma Xiaofei's face was flushed, her breathing rapid, and she replied nervously, "You want to sleep with me until dawn?"
"Xiao Pa Cai, I think you're crazy!"
"Who gave you the courage to climb into my bed in the middle of the night?"
"If you don't go back to the master bedroom immediately, Marry will wake up, find you're not beside her, won't find you in the bathroom, and then she'll come to my room in the second bedroom to look for you. We won't be able to explain it then."
Lin Lang chuckled mischievously, "If we can't explain it, then there's no need to explain it."
Ma Xiaofei wiped away cold sweat, instinctively looking at the closed door, and whispered nervously, "Xiao Pa Cai, stop messing around!"
"Sister is begging you, please go back quickly. I'm so scared right now!"
Lin Lang, however, held Ma Xiaofei even tighter and said with feigned affection, "Xiaofei Jie, begging me is useless, but you can kiss me."
"Uh..." Ma Xiaofei was a bit speechless.
"Xiao Pa Cai, if Sister kisses you, will you go back to the master bedroom?"
Lin Lang actually replied, "Then you kiss me once, I'll experience it first, and then I'll answer you."
Ma Xiaofei's heart was pounding uncontrollably. To make Lin Lang leave quickly, she lightly pecked Lin Lang's lips, then whispered, "Now you can go, right?"
Lin Lang, however, shamelessly replied, "I'm not leaving. Sister, don't you want me to hold you like this while we sleep?"
Ma Xiaofei's little heart thumped wildly. She constantly felt as if Marry was standing outside the second bedroom door and said fearfully, "Sister is begging you, please leave quickly! Can't I just make a date with you tomorrow?"
Lin Lang, however, replied, "But I can't wait!"
Ma Xiaofei had the intention but not the guts. Biting her red lips, she replied, "No!"
"Absolutely not at Marry's house!"
"Marry and I are not only best friends but also neighbors across the hall. If she catches us in the second bedroom, how will Marry and I ever face each other again?"
The more Ma Xiaofei thought about it, the more scared she became. Suddenly, she heard footsteps from the living room outside the door.
The footsteps grew closer and closer, and Ma Xiaofei's heart pounded faster and faster. She was extremely nervous, instinctively looking at the closed second bedroom door. At this moment, she was scared to death.
"Squeak..."
The door to the second bedroom was pushed open by Marry Yang.

Ma Xiaofei broke out in a cold sweat. She shot up from the bed, startled to find it was just a dream, and Lin Lang wasn't in her bed at all.
"Oh my god!"
"This dream was so real, it almost scared me to death!" Ma Xiaofei wiped away cold sweat, feeling a lingering fear.
"It seems I think of him during the day and dream of him at night. Even in my dreams, it's Lin Lang. I've truly fallen for this Xiao Pa Cai."
"I'm really going crazy!"
"Is this kind of secret, illicit romance really what I want?"
"But I can't help but think of Lin Lang. Is it true that the more forbidden something is, the more people want to try it?"
At the same time.
Moonlight streamed through the curtains, casting a glow into the quiet master bedroom.
The beautiful and captivating Marry Yang was lying in Lin Lang's arms, embracing him in deep sleep. Marry Yang in her dreams was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Lin Lang gently tucked the summer quilt around Marry Yang, afraid that the air conditioning was too cold and she might catch a cold.
Lin Lang, sleeping beside her but dreaming of another, flashed a smug, mischievous smile.
After his first experience with the Dreamwalking Ability, Lin Lang felt extremely excited. Although he didn't gain much advantage in Ma Xiaofei's dream, he found the ability to enter the dreams of the opposite sex very amusing.
Not having had enough fun with one dream, Lin Lang decided to choose another target and use the Dreamwalking Ability again.
Since the Dreamwalking Ability could only be used on members of the opposite sex with a favorability rating over 50% towards Lin Lang, the system provided a list of possible dream targets.
Gu Keqing is currently in deep sleep, can enter dream!
Chu Yiren is currently in light sleep, cannot enter dream!
Zhou Mengyao is currently in deep sleep, can enter dream!
Li Moli is currently taking care of her sick mother and staying up late, cannot enter dream!
Marry Yang is currently in deep sleep, can enter dream!
When forced to choose between Gu Keqing and Zhou Mengyao as a dream target, Lin Lang decisively chose his first love, Zhou Mengyao. Don't ask why.
The answer is simply because Zhou Mengyao is Lin Lang's campus belle first love.
Lin Lang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, pinched the second joint of his left middle finger with his right thumb and forefinger, and concentrated his consciousness, silently reciting Zhou Mengyao's name.
By the third recitation, Lin Lang's conscious spirit body, with a "whoosh," successfully entered Zhou Mengyao's dream.
"Holy crap!"
"What the hell is going on here?!"
The moment Lin Lang entered Zhou Mengyao's dream, he gasped, because Zhou Mengyao was currently in a post-apocalyptic nightmare filled with flying sand, swirling dust, and a sky full of yellow sand.
"I came here to invade a sweet dream and take advantage, not to survive in a post-apocalyptic wilderness."
In Zhou Mengyao's dream, a fierce wind howled, and dust permeated the air, as if even the sky had been dyed a dismal gray.
Not far away, a group of zombies with gaping, foul mouths, twisted faces, and greedy, emotionless eyes, frantically chased Zhou Mengyao through the apocalyptic yellow sand.
Zhou Mengyao ran frantically, her long hair disheveled in the wind, her eyes filled with despair and fear.
Seeing a large group of zombies appear, Lin Lang was almost scared to pee. Just as he was about to exit Zhou Mengyao's dream, he was spotted by the frantically running Zhou Mengyao.
"It's over!"
"If I abandon her and exit the dream alone, Zhou Mengyao will be very disappointed in my performance in her nightmare when she wakes up?"
When Zhou Mengyao saw Lin Lang suddenly appear, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Lin Lang!"
"Help me, Lin Lang!"
Zhou Mengyao ran desperately towards Lin Lang as if he were a life raft.
However, as Zhou Mengyao ran towards Lin Lang, she also led the zombie horde towards him. The zombies, smelling fresh scents, all sped up and terrifyingly lunged in Lin Lang's direction.
Lin Lang was momentarily stunned. He knew very well that even if he abandoned Zhou Mengyao in the dream, it would affect his good image in her heart.
"Don't be afraid, Mengyao, I'm here to save you!"
So, Lin Lang could only bite the bullet, tightly grasp Zhou Mengyao's hand, and in this terrifying, apocalyptic dream, pull Zhou Mengyao along in a desperate sprint.
Run!
Run!
Run like hell!
Through hills.
Jumping over collapsed ground.
Lin Lang held Zhou Mengyao's hand, dodging the zombie pursuit as much as possible.
The roars of the frantically pursuing zombies grew closer and closer, as if they were already within reach. Although it was just a dream, it felt terrifyingly real.
"Lin Lang, I can't run anymore!"
"You can leave me and save yourself!"
"I really can't run anymore!"
"Lin Lang, don't worry about me anymore. If we both stay, we'll both die. If you run alone, you might still have a chance!"
Lin Lang did not give up on Zhou Mengyao. He held Zhou Mengyao's hand tightly, running desperately while replying, "Mengyao, even if it means death, I want to be with you!"
"If you're bitten to death by zombies, what's the point of me living alone and shamelessly?"
Lin Lang maintained his affectionate persona in Zhou Mengyao's dream, which moved Zhou Mengyao deeply.
Finally, just as Lin Lang and Zhou Mengyao were about to exhaust all their strength, a light appeared before them.
It was a bright exit, like a door of hope leading to the real world.
Lin Lang tightly held Zhou Mengyao's hand and used his last ounce of strength to run towards the light.
When Lin Lang's body passed through the light, and when the dazzling light disappeared, Lin Lang had returned to the real world, still lying on Marry Yang's bed, his silk pajamas drenched in sweat.
Panting, Lin Lang wiped away cold sweat.
Marry Yang was sleeping soundly, unaware of any abnormality in the person beside her.
Lin Lang, not sleeping in the middle of the night, foolishly snuck into Zhou Mengyao's nightmare and almost got eaten by zombies—that's something else.
As soon as Lin Lang exited Zhou Mengyao's dream, he received a video feed from Zhou Mengyao's Vision Sharing and synchronized audio transmission on the virtual system screen in front of him.
Zhou Mengyao, startled awake from her nightmare, was in complete darkness. From the first-person perspective, he could vaguely see her wiping sweat, but he couldn't see her face.
(Only Zhou Mengyao's perspective could be shared.)
From the synchronized audio transmission, Zhou Mengyao's heavy breathing could be heard, indicating she had been startled awake by a nightmare.

Then, Zhou Mengyao was heard muttering to herself with lingering fear, "This nightmare was so scary!"
"Luckily, Lin Lang saved me in the dream!"
"Hehe..."
"Lin Lang in my dream, protecting me with his life, he's really quite a man!"
"Thinking of someone during the day leads to dreaming of them at night. I've only been without Lin Lang for a day, how could I miss him so much?"
"Could it be that I've really fallen in love with him?"
Zhou Mengyao turned on her phone, bringing some light into the bedroom. She opened her phone's photo album, which surprisingly contained many candid photos of Lin Lang.
"If I can't see Lin Lang in person, then I'll look at his photos!"
"The more I look, the more handsome he gets!"
"Hehe..."
When Lin Lang saw this on the virtual system screen, Zhou Mengyao's Vision Sharing screen cut off, and a smile spread across Lin Lang's face.
It seemed that his high school campus belle first love was already completely captivated by Lin Lang.
