In my dream, I found myself on a company trip, seated in a minibus and chatting with a forest ranger.
Teasingly, I said to him, "You're a RANGER!" Curious about his daily routines, I learned that he spends his days playing with orangutans, reading to wild boars, and encountering strange wildlife. I marveled, "This job sounds so cool!"
As the minibus stopped by the roadside, it transformed into a convertible minivan. I spotted a peculiar-looking creature on the roadside—a fish-faced being with a large mouth, full lips, and a dirty green complexion, voraciously munching on something.
Turning to see the forest ranger climbing up a hill, chasing orangutans and bears, dealing with wildlife affairs, covered in mud, I suddenly felt the exhaustion of his job.
Glancing back at the creature, though it posed no threat, it still seemed eerie. I called out to the ranger to come back, fearing the creature might leap onto the van. "Let's get out of here!"
As the minibus continued its journey, it reverted to its original state with a roof. The driver kept tossing square plastic sheets onto the rear seats. I jokingly told him, "Don't throw them at me! Those are sunshades!"
Arriving at our destination, I stood by the bus waiting for luggage. Seeing politician Mr. Zhao sitting nearby, I approached him for a chat.
He asked about my husband. Struggling to recall his name, I blurted out "Jason Wu". Mr. Zhao raised an eyebrow, "Jason Wu is your husband?" It took me a while to realize and correct myself, "No, Jason Wu was a friend from high school."
Trying harder to remember, I couldn't recall my husband's name. Everyone laughed. I rummaged through my bag for documents, hoping to find his name. Even the gift vouchers didn't have his name on them. For some reason, I saw the name "Zhao An Kang" on one of them, so I declared, "My husband's name is Zhao An Kang."
The laughter grew louder. They remarked on the vast difference between "Zhao An Kang" and "Jason Wu". Mr. Zhao was astonished, "Your husband's surname is also Zhao? And you couldn't remember that?" I muttered to myself, "How could this happen? Am I suffering from amnesia? How could I forget my husband's surname?"
Continuing to wait for luggage, I saw a few young women and struck up a conversation with them.
Two of the girls were dressed quite revealingly! Their tank tops barely covered the essentials, and their shorts were equally translucent.
Although their attire was see-through, it didn't feel provocative; instead, it exuded a healthy beauty.
I observed one of the girls, her hair tied in a ponytail, light makeup accentuated by nude lipstick. I felt like I had seen her before but couldn't recall where.
Engaging in conversation with the young women, I continued waiting for the luggage.
夢見公司旅遊。我坐在小巴上,和森林管理員聊天。
我逗他說「你是 Ranger 耶!」我問他每天都在幹啥。他說每天都在跟猩猩玩,念書給野豬聽,每天都跟奇怪的野生動物在一起。我驚呼「這工作也實在太酷了吧!」
小巴停在路邊,突然變成無頂的小巴士。我看到路邊有個長像奇特的怪獸。牠有看來像是魚臉的大頭,大嘴、豐唇,髒髒的綠色,大嘴一張一合的在吃東西。
我轉頭看著森林管理員爬上山坡,追著猩猩和黑熊,處理動物的事情,全身都是泥巴。當下覺得這工作其實也是頂累的。
我回頭再看那個怪獸吃東西,牠雖然沒有要傷我,但看來還是蠻恐怖的。我喊著森林管理員快回來,我蠻怕那怪獸突然跳上車,我們快走吧!
小巴繼續往前開。這時又變回有頂的小巴。司機一直往後方座位丟方形的塑膠片。我跟他說「你不要丟到我啦!這是遮陽用的塑膠片啊!」
到了下車地點,我站在巴士旁等行李。看到趙少康坐在那邊,過去和他閒聊。
他問我老公是誰。我好用力想,竟然想不起我老公的名字。好用力好用力想,脫口說出 "吳○軍"。趙少康狐疑說「吳○軍是你老公?!」我想了想「不對啊!吳○軍是我高中社團朋友才對。」
我繼續用力地想,卻怎麼想也想不起我老公的名字。大家都在笑。我打開包包找文件,看看上面是否有老公的名字。翻到禮券,上面也沒有老公的名字。不知為何看到 "趙安康" 三個字,我大喊「我的老公叫 "趙安康"。」
大家笑的更大聲了。他們說 "趙安康" 和 "吳○軍" 這兩個名字也差太多了吧!趙少康更是驚訝說「你老公也姓趙?!你連這也想不起來?!」
我喃喃自語「對啊!怎麼會這樣?我失憶了嗎?怎麼會連老公姓什麼都想不起來?」
我繼續等行李。看到幾個年輕女生,過去和她們聊天。
有兩個女生,穿得好透明喔!上衣小可愛只有幾條線遮住重要部份,其他都是透明薄紗。下身短褲也是一樣。
我一直覺得我看過這套衣服。衣服雖然透明,但在她們身上並不覺得色情,反而有種健康美。
我端詳其中一位女生,綁著馬尾,薄妝配上裸色的口紅。我一直覺得我曾經見過她,但想不起在哪個場合。
我和年輕女生們繼續聊天,等行李。
