Thirty-Day Dream

July, the scorching sun blazed.

The 38-degree heat made people sweat profusely. Women passing by were all slathered in white sunscreen, showing off their long legs and wearing low-cut tops.

But there were also some who weren't afraid of the heat, insisting on using a oscillating fan and continuing to do squats even while sweating buckets.

"Twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine."

"Thirty."

Li Yang silently counted to thirty and immediately stopped squatting. Then, while expanding his chest and doing stretching exercises, he quietly did Kegel exercises.

As for why, don't ask. If you ask, it's to build a solid foundation!

Consistently doing squats and Kegel exercises was the capital that gave the 22-year-old Li Yang confidence far exceeding his peers.

"One day, I'll be able to shine."

Kegel exercises made him feel good, but besides feeling good, looking at the city outside the living room, Li Yang felt a bit depressed.

His body was fine, but money was really hard to earn.

Although he started school early and graduated college at 21, at 22, he had officially started working at a large company.

But after deducting living expenses, he only had three thousand yuan left from his monthly salary. Based on three thousand yuan and the current housing prices in the city where he worked, he would need to save for 105 years without spending a single extra cent to afford a three-bedroom apartment.

Even just for the down payment, he would have to save for over thirty years.

Fortunately, five years of consistent squats and Kegel exercises since the start of college had given him a hidden foundation.

Otherwise, he would be feeling self-conscious.

"But, I wonder what the blind date my family arranged is like."

While thinking, he couldn't help but think of the blind date his mother had arranged for him a month ago, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

A month ago, his mother called him and said there was a girl his age whom he should add on WeChat to get to know first. It had been a month since they added each other on WeChat. Although they didn't chat much, Li Yang felt the atmosphere was good.

Most importantly, the other person also worked in this city, and they lived close by, which made him feel that there was a chance. So, yesterday, they agreed to meet at Starbucks at 7 PM today for a coffee.

Although he thought Starbucks was quite NC and he wouldn't go even if he was a G, since the girl suggested it, it wouldn't hurt to go for a drink.

He had seen the girl's photos on her social media. Although she wasn't a goddess, she was decent and within his psychological expectations. As a noble bachelor for many years, of course, he had to seize the opportunity.

Of course, whether it was interesting or not, he wouldn't refuse something like this. After all, it was just a cup of coffee. If Starbucks was expensive, let it be. He wasn't a stingy person.

"Click~"

"Oh, still exercising? I say, it's so hot, and you're not even turning on the air conditioning. Don't overheat yourself."

Li Yang was clenching his anus while thinking about the blind date in the afternoon when the sound of the living room door opening suddenly rang out. He turned his head and was momentarily dazzled by a pair of long legs, then looked up to see a fair-skinned woman with a considerable bust.

"Sister Lin, just got back? I'm doing this for health. As long as the room is ventilated and I have a fan blowing, I won't overheat."

Li Yang looked at the woman entering the living room, pursed his lips, and slowed down his Kegel exercises.

Long legs, a slender waist, a round butt, and a considerable bust, plus a long neck and fair skin. Although her face shape was only average to above average, she was still a rare beauty.

And she was his roommate, which made it even more pleasant.

Unfortunately, such a good woman was his damn boss.

Otherwise, how great it would be if she were his girlfriend.

"Alright, you keep exercising then."

While Li Yang was having improper thoughts, Lin Shiyu smiled at him, looking at his sweat. Then she beckoned towards the door, and under Li Yang's somewhat unnatural gaze, she led in a smiling man with thinning hair.

"Oh, so you're the colleague who's renting with Shiyu. Young man, it's so hot, and you're not even turning on the air conditioning to cool down. You shouldn't ruin yourself just to save money."

The man was wearing a suit and leather shoes. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Li Yang sweating profusely and spoke with a smile.

"What do you know? He's doing this for health."

Lin Shiyu replied with a light laugh.

Li Yang's mouth twitched. He looked at the confident, shriveled man and wanted to say something but stopped.

But because the other person was his boss, he could only quietly say, "Sweating more is good for the body, it detoxifies."

"This young man is alright."

The man smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked Li Yang up and down. "Alright then, you keep exercising here. Shiyu and I are going back to the room."

"Okay."

Li Yang nodded with a light smile and watched the man and woman go back to the room, immediately cursing inwardly.

Damn it, he doesn't understand health and is still being Yin and Yang with me. He'll be impotent sooner or later!

When I have the chance later, I'll show you who's awesome when I shine every day.

"Oh right, Li Yang, we'll be working at 2:30 in the afternoon. Hurry up and rest. Get to the company early to fill out a leave slip."

Li Yang was about to go back to rest when Lin Shiyu's door suddenly opened again. She poked her head out and said with a smile to Li Yang.

The top two buttons of the shirt below her long neck were already unbuttoned, revealing a large expanse of white skin in the open gap, along with a hint of black underwear. Her waist was also exposed in a patch of white due to the shirt opening.

"Okay, got it, Sister Lin. Don't worry, I'll rest now."

Li Yang's gaze couldn't help but glance at the area Lin Shiyu had exposed. The creamy white sight made him feel a bit uneasy, so he quickly nodded in response, turned around, and went back into his room.

"My simply agreeing to your taking leave for a blind date isn't enough, don't forget that," Lin Shiyu said with a stern face when she saw that he had heard. She then turned her head, bringing her snow-white neck back into the room. The low-heeled shoes revealing a bit of her instep turned around. With a step of her slightly red heel, she closed the door again.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Meanwhile, Li Yang returned to his room, turned the fan to the second setting, pressed the oscillate button, and opened both the door and windows for ventilation. He slowly lay down on his bed.

Even with the door and windows open and the fan on, the temperature was still quite hot, but Li Yang didn't mind. He preferred health over being a little warm.

"I haven't even touched a woman yet, so I need to take good care of my body," Li Yang muttered to himself. Using air conditioning and direct fan drafts could easily cause various health issues. Committed to a healthy lifestyle, he naturally wouldn't make these mistakes. Wasn't it better to endure a little hardship in exchange for more energy to enjoy life later?

Thinking of women, Li Yang couldn't help but think of Lin Shiyu next door. Her fair skin and perky curves kept flashing in his mind.

A warmth rose in his heart; this woman was quite... moist.

But Li Yang restrained himself, feeling that this wasn't right. However, then he thought of the man who was always with Lin Shiyu, and he immediately curled his lip.

When Li Yang first moved here, he was roommates with Lin Shiyu. It just so happened that when he was looking for a job, he coincidentally became colleagues with Lin Shiyu.

At that time, Lin Shiyu was divorced. It was said that she divorced her ex-husband over something, but recently, this ex-husband had appeared again, and it looked like there was a trend towards reconciliation.

Li Yang originally couldn't help but have thoughts about Lin Shiyu, but after all this...

"Alright, I'm going to have my own woman soon too."

He let out a long breath, thinking about the upcoming blind date. He couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile and immediately seized the time to prepare for sleep.

Maintaining a long-term routine allowed Li Yang to quickly fall into a state of sleep. While resting, he unconsciously drifted into a dream.

In the dream, a glowing door frame suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

Subconsciously, he focused his gaze on the top of the door frame, and four large characters suddenly became clear: World Gate!

Streaks of starlight then converged, and a ruined city filled with zombie figures appeared in the center of the door frame.

'Again? It's been thirty days of continuous dreams, what's the point of having the same dream every day?'

'If you've got the guts, let me in!'

In the dream, Li Yang felt that his dream was just this one image, and he cursed speechlessly with some frustration.

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, the world spun.

Contrarians always find various angles they think are right. Suddenly feeling it was pointless to talk to such people, I deleted most of the posts I had made before. In the first chapter, I'll state this: This is a wish fulfillment story, a wish fulfillment story, a wish fulfillment story.
