Eventually, Shi Lei slept over at Zhang Meimei’s place. The reason was that Zhang Liangliang had forced Shi Lei to stay behind and chat with her well into the night.
As a mother, it didn’t matter how much Zhang Meimei didn’t care. She couldn’t fall asleep. She asked Shi Lei to sleep over, since it was very late.
Zhang Liangliang didn’t mind, and Shi Lei’s protests were in vain. Eventually, he slept on Zhang Meimei’s bed while Zhang Meimei slept in Zhang Liangliang’s room with her.
Shi Lei thought that he could sneak out after Zhang Liangliang fell asleep, since it was as awkward as it could possibly be for Shi Lei to lie in the bed of a mature woman. There was no scent, but there was some special fragrance that only belonged to women. The warmth of the bed was obviously caused by Zhang Meimei lying there a while before, which made Shi Lei find it impossible to fall asleep.
But Zhang Liangliang didn’t want to be quiet even if she went to bed. She texted Shi Lei on WeChat and Shi Lei could only reply and chat with her. Before he could make Zhang Liangliang tired and fall asleep, he fell asleep first.
There were some things that shouldn’t appear in his dreams, just like ordinary people’s imaginations. Although Shi Lei didn’t really imagine anything, there was a mother and a daughter in the neighboring room, and he was lying in the bed of a mature woman, so subconscious ideas were magnified in his dreams, making Shi Lei feel drained after waking up.
He finally felt relieved in the morning, but Zhang Meimei and Zhang Liangliang were already awake. Zhang Meimei had made some toast that was overcooked on one side, yet the other side wasn’t even warm, and asked Zhang Liangliang to wake Shi Lei up for breakfast.
Shi Lei felt that something was wrong when he awoke, but Zhang Liangliang was standing right in the doorway and he didn’t have a chance to act. He could only change under the blanket and even buttoned up a wrong buttons on his shirt. Zhang Liangliang laughed at him as he ran to the bathroom in a hurry to fix his clothes.
Zhang Meimei prepared a new set of toiletries for Shi Lei caringly. Shi Lei was able to brush his teeth, wash his face, use the toilet. At the same time, he also cleaned himself up. Shi Lei constantly glanced toward Zhang Meimei’s bedroom as he was having breakfast in the living room. He wanted to go clean it when he had the chance to, but Zhang Liangliang was pestering him and he didn’t have time to go back at all.
Zhang Liangliang finally left, since school time was earlier than work time and it was obvious that in this family, the mother didn’t have the habit of sending the daughter to school. Shi Lei finally believed that his chance had arrived.
But before he could sneak into the room, Zhang Meimei had already walked in.
It was her own bedroom, after all. Her clothes, bags, and everything else were inside. Shi Lei could only pray for her not to discover anything and hoped that perhaps it wouldn’t show after it had time to dry through the night.
But Zhang Meimei was a lawyer. Although she was slightly old-fashioned, she definitely had self discipline and wasn’t like Shi Lei, whose bed was exactly the same in the morning after he woke up and when he went to bed at night. It was a must for Zhang Meimei to make her bed before she left the house everyday.
Hence, Shi Lei sat in the living room and watched nervously as Zhang Meimei swung the blanket, shook it, shook it again, and eventually placed it smoothly on the bed, folded in half. She also opened the window to let some fresh air in.
Shi Lei was nervous and fidgety during the process, but Zhang Meimei didn’t seem to see anything as she made her bed as if it had not been sullied by anything.
After she finished making the bed, Zhang Meimei closed the door and said, “Teacher Shi, wait for me. I’ll change and we can leave together. We can go to my office and finish organizing what needs to be done.”
Shi Lei could only agree and stared at the closed bedroom door even more uneasily and only relaxed when Zhang Meimei came out, cleaned the table, and gestured that they could leave. He secretly thought that perhaps the things he dreamed of had only dirtied his clothes and not the bed. While he was delighted by his luck, he still didn’t dare look Zhang Meimei in the face. Last night’s dream wasn’t very clear and a few women were in it, including Sun Yiyi and the women whom Shi Lei had interacted with more recently. But he was sure that the people he hugged in his dream were all around his age and Zhang Meimei definitely wasn’t one of them. Although he had been sleeping in her bed, there was no way for him to have such intentions toward someone who was almost the same age as his mother.
However, it still made Shi Lei felt extremely guilty, because even though he didn’t dream about Zhang Meimei, he did dream about Zhang Liangliang. Especially since Er’jie was of such a young age, Shi Lei thought that he was a pervert. After riding in Zhang Meimei’s car, Shi Lei got out and walked into her law firm for the second time. He felt like he was watching a drama as all the elite lawyers greeted Zhang Meimei and addressed her as “Chief Zhang.”
When they walked into Zhang Meimei’s office, the assistant at the door immediately passed a cup of coffee to her and Shi Lei hurriedly responded with “water” when the assistant politely asked him what he would like to drink.
Zhang Meimei was rather nice on the way there, but as soon as she stepped into the office, she seemed to change into an iron man. She did not have a single smile on her face and the only answer the elite lawyers received was a simple “morning” from her. Those people were accustomed to Zhang Meimei’s manner, yet Shi Lei thought it was intentional and rigid, which made him feel uncomfortable.
“Not bad. I still remember what I said last night. Teacher Shi, please wait a moment. I’ll look for a contract template. Then we can change around the details. During the process, I might ask you some questions relating to the details of the contract.”
Shi Lei agreed and Zhang Meimei asked the assistant to close the door. Although Shi Lei became more unsettled, both Zhang Meimei and her assistant were accustomed to it, since all the client’s information was private and no one could ask about it other than the lawyer.
It took Zhang Meimei more than an hour to finish organizing the details of the contract. She had asked Shi Lei a few questions, mainly about the assessed value of the project, the scale of the company, and other statuses of the project. She did not say a single word that wasn’t related to the details of the contract. Gradually, Shi Lei calmed down, since he thought that she really didn’t see anything and that there wasn’t anything on the bed.
When it was 11 AM, Zhang Meimei finished going through the whole the contract and narrated all the provisions that required discussion. Shi Lei was very satisfied with it without any significant changes.
Then, Zhang Meimei discussed the things that Shi Lei had to be careful with in detail. She reminded him about the things he could take a step back on, including to what extent he could back off, and what he had to insist on. Eventually, they finished everything with Shi Lei’s contract before lunchtime.
Zhang Meimei stretched and said, “The fee for mapping out this contract is 80,000 yuan. Itt includes the process of me having to be there when you sign it, as well as the follow ups and changing small details. You can pay for it today or the day you sign it.”
Shi Lei didn’t have any money on him at the moment, so he told Zhang Meimei that he didn’t take his wallet when they left last night. It didn’t matter, and Zhang Meimei expressed that they could finish this temporarily.
When Shi Lei was about to stand and leave, Zhang Meimei spoke to him in a low voice, “It’s normal to have that kind of phenomenon for boys your age, so don’t feel burdened.” She lowered her head after she finished speaking and acted as if nothing had happened.
But Shi Lei brokedown. Oh shit, it had been seen!
Shi Lei wanted to explain, but he couldn’t tell her “I wasn’t imagining things about you because your daughter was the one who appeared in my dream!” She Lei was afraid that she will be furious with him.
