Ye Ming had just returned from the Provincial Tax Bureau that day at noon when he had a very absurd dream: in the dream, he was hugging Chen Yi, his colleague, together. That soul-stirring feeling made him feel, in an instant, like his bones were melting and he was so happy he almost fainted —

"Brrr, it's getting cold!"

Suddenly, a long, sharp hawking cry came from outside the window, abruptly pulling Ye Ming out of his spring dream.

He blinked his eyes open groggily, cursing the street vendor who hawked chilled treats in the Family Quarters of the Tax Bureau every day at noon. At the same time, with a hint of discontent, he stretched out his arms and made vague grasping motions in the air, as if trying to pull Chen Yi from her dream back into reality so they could continue their passionate scene...

But the alarm clock on the table buzzed untimely, shattering his spring dream completely.

He got up lazily from the bed, turned off the alarm clock, and sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly for a while.

Although that dream was so absurd, it felt so real, so human, that he still felt a shiver down his spine and could almost smell Chen Yi's intoxicating fragrance in his nose, the refreshing sweetness of her breath lingering on his lips...

The weather outside is lovely. Through the gaps in the blinds, streaks of gold are cast onto the pristine white walls of the dormitory.

These wisps of memory made Ye Ming sober up completely. Suddenly, a feeling of guilt filled his heart: Sister Chen Yi was so dignified and elegant, so kind and caring towards him, and she already had a husband. How could he keep having these lingering spring dreams about her?

Although many people say Chen Yi's millionaire husband doesn't come home often and is frequently attracting attention from other women. However, Chen Yi has never said a bad word about her husband at the office, nor has she ever shown any sign of unhappiness in public. She has always remained calm and composed, unfazed by praise or criticism, elegant and dignified, so reserved...

It was precisely this elegance and reserve that made Ye Ming regard her as a god in his heart, setting her as his standard for choosing a partner. To the extent that he dated three girlfriends over the four years he'd been working, but ultimately they all broke up because he felt there was too much of a gap between them and Chen Yi...

Of course, Ye Ming knew very well: there were definitely more than one man in the bureau who liked or even secretly harbored feelings for a woman like Yin Chenyi.

Chen Yi is known as the "No. 1 beauty of the K City tax system" and also the ideal woman in Ye Ming's heart: her parents are both university professors, making her a true daughter of an aristocratic family. Moreover, she is tall and slender with fair, smooth skin. Her features are beautiful, her temperament is elegant and dignified, and her speech is gentle and polite, with standard Mandarin pronunciation comparable to that of CCTV announcers... From head to toe, she exudes an air of nobility and elegance. When Ye Ming sits across from her, he often feels a sense of shame and inadequacy.
