I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 103 Wu You's Nightmare

"It's getting late, I'm logging off now." Wu You took his hands off the keyboard, looked at the game results page, and called out in the voice chat, "You guys keep playing, bye-bye."

"Okay, goodbye Angkor."

"Dude, I went to bed before midnight. Are you trying to stay healthy?"

“It’s different. Angkor never stays up late. Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy.”

After chatting casually with a few other good friends, Wu You lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and fell asleep in less than five minutes.

In fact, by the time he finished the last game, Wu You had already entered "super power saving" mode, and the computer automatically shut down as soon as he lay down on the bed.

Perhaps because he was too tired, Wu You had a dream, a dream that seemed very real.

……

In his dream, on his nineteenth birthday, he received a gift from his crush, Shu He—a collaboration sneaker that he liked the most but couldn't get his hands on.

Although Wu You refused the gift because of the high price of the sneakers and asked Shu He to return them for a refund, Shu He took this opportunity to confess her feelings to him. The almost tug-of-war-like ambiguous game between them finally came to an end at this moment.

For the next three years of university, they enjoyed a life that many couples envied.

In this fast-paced era, many people treat love as a matchmaking game, falling in love recklessly when passion surges, only to break up hastily when the passion fades, much like a poorly written novel.

Perhaps three months ago you could still see someone posting "I can't live without her" on your WeChat Moments, but three months later it has become "I've locked up my heart and love".

Wu You knew that his slow-burning approach to love, almost like simmering porridge over a low flame, wasn't really suited to the current environment, but he was very fortunate to have met someone who was also slow to warm up but had a pure and innocent love for him.

For the remaining three years of university, they became the perfect couple that all their friends envied, and everyone believed that they would definitely walk down the aisle.

Indeed, during their three-year relationship, although they occasionally argued, they were always able to resolve their conflicts quickly and deepen their feelings for each other through these resolutions.

Finally, on the day they graduated from university, they successfully registered their marriage and became a real couple.

Not only is he successful in love, but Wu You's career is also developing very well... He studied a top-tier major at a top university and actively participated in various competitions during his four years of college, making his resume quite outstanding.

As a result, he was selected by a very good company during the school's summer recruitment season and successfully took the job after graduating from university.

Shu He's career development is a bit worse than his, but compared to ordinary people, it is already quite good - she entered a company founded by a friend, works five days a week and has two days off, and earns more than 10,000 yuan a month.

During that period, Wu You was envied by others in most situations. He even believed that he was God's favorite. Although he was not rich and powerful, he could live a very happy life.

But since he turned twenty-five, his life seems to have entered a period of relative calm.

Because of his outstanding work ability, he was quickly promoted after starting work and became a manager at the age of 25... but he found that his career seemed to have stagnated.

He is not good at interpersonal relationships. Although he can get promoted based on his outstanding abilities, he can't rely on his abilities alone if he wants to move up further.

Some people who were less educated and less capable than him got promoted faster because they were "good at currying favor".

Fortunately, Wu You wasn't a very ambitious person. He was already quite satisfied with the status quo. Since he couldn't get promoted, he wouldn't get promoted... Anyway, his current income level was already at a level that most people couldn't reach even after working their whole lives.

Meanwhile, Shu He's career was progressing rapidly. Perhaps due to good luck, she received two or three promotions almost every year, and by the age of twenty-five, she had even become her boss's secretary. Although the other company wasn't as big as Wu You's, in terms of income alone, Shu He had already surpassed him by a considerable margin.

Wu You was not a chauvinist, and he did not feel sad or embarrassed about being surpassed by his wife.

But he was genuinely alarmed by the changes that had occurred in his wife.

The first thing Shu He changed was her clothes and makeup... She cut off her heavy bangs and replaced her frizzy glasses with a mature pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

In terms of clothing, she also changed her previous unfashionable style, and office lady skirt suits and black stockings became her must-have outfits.

Wu You knew his wife was a very charming woman, but when Shu He shed those "burdens" and fully revealed her true self, Wu You discovered that Shu He's charm far exceeded his expectations.

On the other hand, Wu You discovered that work was taking up an increasingly important portion of Shu He's time.

Shu He used to be able to get home at five o'clock every day, but as her position was promoted, she got off work later and later, and worked overtime more and more frequently. She could only eat dinner at home no more than twice a week.

On one occasion, when they were in the middle of their intimate moments, Shuhe suddenly received a call from her boss. Even though Wu You was burning with rage, he could only watch as his wife got dressed and drove off to the company.

If that were all, Wu You would only be worried, but...

The suppressed yet decadent voice on the phone, the faint fishy smell from the stockings and underwear, and Shu He's increasingly cold expression towards him made Wu You vaguely realize something...

However, although he realized it, he dared not expose it, fearing that if he spoke out, his seemingly wonderful life would immediately turn into a bubble that had been punctured by a needle.

In the final moments of his dream, he looked at his wife, whose pregnancy was becoming increasingly obvious and whose face was filled with happiness. Wu You didn't know whether he should be excited about having a child or wonder whose child it was.

……

"Do not."

Wu You suddenly sat up in bed, panting heavily.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Wu's mother was cleaning in his bedroom. As she drew back the curtains, she asked, "I suddenly saw you get up and start shouting."

"Yeah, I had a nightmare." Wu You took two deep breaths, forcibly calming his emotions.

He knew it was just a dream, but the dream felt so real, so real that it was as if he had personally experienced those many years, the experience of having everything and then having it all taken away...

'This is not the future I want.' Wu You shook his head, then picked up his phone from the side, quickly walked to the bathroom, and dialed Shu He's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, Wu You, what's wrong?"

Hearing Shu He's voice, Wu You suddenly felt relieved, and all the negative emotions he had felt because of that dream disappeared at that moment.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you."
