"I'll wake you up in the middle of the night." He told me just before I fell asleep. "Wake me up in the middle of the night? Don't, don't wake me up..." I struggled again in a daze, and immediately fell asleep lying on top of a pile of reports. Still woke up. "Hey, get up, get up for a while." Sure enough, he came to shake me awake. I have already stayed up late for two days to catch up on the report, and I can sleep well if I can, why do I have to wake me up in the middle of the night? I was dragged by the boy to the living room of his house. The light in his living room was turned on very brightly. On the big table in the middle, there was a pot of plants with leaves.

"Look, look...the flowers are blooming..." The boy stared blankly at the potted plant and muttered to himself. There is really a big white flower, which has been blooming for a long time, no, it is not so much blooming, it is better to say that it is waking up. The white flower is beautiful in shape, even as a dreamed flower, let alone a flower that appears in the real world. The white flowers bloomed bigger and bigger, and the degree of opening exceeded my expectations. I was still very sleepy, but in my sleepiness, I watched the dreamy white flowers bloom in amazement. The living room was so quiet in the middle of the night, I almost thought I could hear the sound of petals opening.

"This flower is like performing alone on the stage..." I said to myself. "Yeah, if we don't get up and look at it, maybe it won't open." Boy No. 43 said. The white flowers have reached their limit, perfectly still on the stage. "I'm so sleepy...I'm going to fall asleep again..." I muttered something that I wasn't sure about, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier.The luster of the white flowers gradually faded away. Boy No. 43 leaned close to my ear and said, "By the time you wake up, this flower will have withered." I heard it, but didn't have the strength to answer.

"It's an epiphyllum," he said. I fell asleep again, too late to say goodbye to this white flower that was about to disappear. "When we woke up, only the two of us knew it had been on."
