The Dream’s Cruel Awakening

The events of a minute ago had been so bizarre that I felt as if I were on the verge of a heart attack.

Determined to turn over a new leaf, I retreated to the bathroom, symbolically washing my hands in a golden basin, intent on starting anew.

Upon returning to the bedroom, however, a fresh stain of blood on the sheets sent a chill down my spine, a premonition of ill tidings.

‘Had my sister perhaps cut her head, or injured herself somewhere else?’ Without a second thought, I rushed forward, pulling back the covers to reveal her smooth, jade-like body completely exposed to the air.

Sure enough, there was a sizable gash on her back, near her shoulder, along with numerous smaller cuts.

‘After this, I’m never doing anything like this again,’ I thought to myself, a silent vow.

Frantically, I fetched a basin of water and a clean towel, then began to meticulously clean my sister’s wounds.

Two hours later, I finally managed to wipe away all the surface blood. The injured areas had stopped bleeding, yet my sister showed no signs of waking. My tense heart, at last, began to relax.

Perhaps it was sheer exhaustion, but I found myself collapsing beside her. In a hazy half-sleep, I saw Sister Yinuo awaken, her gentle gaze fixed upon me.

“Chirp, I truly, truly like you!”

It was a dream, of course! Even her voice was captivating. I distinctly remembered securing her hands and feet to the bed frame before I fell asleep.

‘If this wasn’t a dream, I couldn’t imagine how she could have broken free from the handcuffs.’ This was my subconscious thought, manifesting itself in the dream. My affection for Sister Xia Yinuo meant that in my dreams, she would appear exactly as I wished.

I watched as my sister leaned down, nuzzling her head against my chest before resting it on my neck. At such close proximity, I could distinctly feel Xia Yinuo’s breath, and the soft, warm sensation of her touch.

Since it was a dream, my fear dissipated. I felt a surge of anticipation for a more intimate contact with her. In a dream, one could do all the things they desired but dared not in reality.

Such erotic dreams were rare and precious. I mused that if a man had such dreams every night, it would be perfectly understandable if he never sought a girlfriend in this lifetime.

This dream felt more vivid than any before. My sight, touch, and smell were incredibly realistic, almost indistinguishable from reality. I shifted my head slightly, my hands gently cupping Xia Yinuo’s chin.

I gazed intently at her peerless face. Beneath her fringe, which fell just above her brows, were those same crescent-moon eyes, narrowed in a smile. Her pert, delicate nose made me yearn to take it into my mouth.

Her rosy, smooth cheeks were irresistible, like a new toy I couldn’t put down. I gently molded her face into various shapes. Below, her cherry-red lips were full and luscious, as tender as a peeled lychee.

“Sister, you’re so beautiful. Just looking at you makes me smile all day. I wish you could stay at my house every day. Sister, are your wounds healed? Please don’t leave me, okay? I want to hear your voice, see your smile every day, eat the food you make, and even more, even more… Hehe, eat you up! You won’t be angry, right? You won’t think I’m a pervert, right? Because this is a dream! Sister exists because of my will, so you wouldn’t hate me at all, right!”

Only in a dream would I dare to speak to Xia Yinuo like this. In reality, even after a bottle of Erguotou, I wouldn’t have the courage.

Her eyes, at times puzzled, at others secretly delighted, watched me with doting affection. Her gentle gaze remained fixed on me, as if time itself had paused.

After a long moment, my sister stirred. She pressed one hand on my arm, the other braced against the bed, then lifted my head. She kissed my forehead, nose, cheeks, and earlobes.

I was lost in the dreamy haze, savoring the rare warmth of the moment. Her lips were soft, moist, and sweet, carrying a numbing sensation that blurred my vision until I could only perceive her silhouette.

“Ah…”

A sharp, high-pitched feminine shriek jolted me awake. As my eyes flew open, Xia Yinuo’s dazzling form appeared before me.

She was straddling me in a rather indecent posture. The intense visual shock left my mind utterly blank. I stared dumbfounded at the incredible scene unfolding.

‘Why is this happening? Wasn’t I dreaming? Could it be…’

Faster than lightning, Xia Yinuo snatched the blanket, wrapping it around herself, leaving only her eyes visible. She stared at me in horror, shaking her head incessantly, muttering, “No, no, Chirp wouldn’t do this to me.”

Snapping back to reality, I immediately sprang up, waving my hands. “Sister, no, it’s not what you think. I thought…”

Xia Yinuo blinked her watery eyes, whispering, “You saw everything, didn’t you? The handcuffs, you prepared them, didn’t you? You did all of this, didn’t you?”

“I…” I desperately wanted to argue that it was just a dream, just a dream, but when my eyes met hers, I froze. This was no dream. I hung my head in shame.

On the bed between my sister and me lay a jumble of clothes: torn underwear, a dress, black lace panties, and the handcuffs. Only then did I realize I was completely naked. Not far from me on the bed, a sticky pool of blood.

Caught red-handed, I found myself speechless.

“Chirp, what will you do if I’m pregnant? Will you abandon me? Will you leave our child?”

Pregnant? A child? These were things I had never considered, concepts so distant they felt like another lifetime. These were matters for when I grew up, yet they were suddenly thrust upon me, leaving me utterly clueless.

‘I’m a real man now!’ This thought brought a sudden calm. Recalling my father’s words—that a boy must be responsible for his actions—I knew I would not shy away from what I had done.

“Sister Yinuo, don’t worry, I’ll marry you. I’ll be a good father too. Please, please don’t tell anyone about this. I’ll do anything you ask, Sister. I truly like you, and I really don’t want to lose you. Even though I’ve never had a girlfriend and don’t know how to be a good husband, I can learn, I can try. I’ll work hard to earn money and support our family.”

“You said it, you can’t lie to me!” A hint of triumph flickered in Xia Yinuo’s eyes. Everything was within her grasp. From this moment on, Chirp could no longer escape her. She no longer had to fear anyone taking him away.

“Mhm, mhm, I’m not lying, I’m not lying,” I nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, terrified she wouldn’t believe me.

“Then sign your name here. I’m going to take a shower. You can come see me anytime!” Xia Yinuo pouted her lips, then casually walked out, completely naked, showing no hint of shyness.
