I accidentally double-clicked the profile picture of the deceased Mr. Mcdreamy.
A sentence was shown after that. [I patted "Laurant Sherwood" on the shoulder and said, "Come into my arms, Darling."]
Five minutes later, Mr. Mcdreamy replied: [Won't your husband mind it?]

Not long before I graduated from college, I finally plucked up the courage to write a letter to Laurant to confess my love for him.
After waiting uneasily for a few days, I finally received a message from Laurant at night.
The meaning of the short message was ambiguous. [Come to my house?]
I knew that the invitation was too frivolous, but I still went to his house. I even changed into a sexy black dress that I never dared to wear.
On the way to his house, I felt excited as if I was floating in the air and stepping on clouds.
But when I pushed open the door of his house, I was stunned.
The men in the living room had already drunk a lot. They were all looking at me and there was an ambiguous light in their eyes.
Laurant leaned lazily against the bar counter with a glass of champagne between his slender fingers. His handsome face was in the shadows, looking elegant and cool.
A beautiful woman was standing on her tiptoes and leaning on his shoulder. She pointed her chin at me and said, "Lauri, is this your new girlfriend?"
Laurant sounded indifferent as he said, "She's a student working in the laboratory under the work-study program."
Yes, during my four years in college, I worked as his assistant in his laboratory. I was as quiet as a shadow behind him.
To have a secret crush on someone was like taking a chronic poison. It could silently seep into one's bones over the years.
In the end, I couldn't hold it back and confessed my feelings to him.
The beautiful woman looked me up and down and said with a meaningful smile, "Look at how she's dressed. Her intention doesn't seem to be as simple as a student's."
I stood under everyone's meaningful gazes and gripped the hem of my dress embarrassedly.
Laurant glanced at me casually and said, "Miss Frost, could you help me clean this place?"
Fine.
It turned out that he had asked me to come to his house just to help him clean up the mess after the wine party.
"Okay." Lowering my head, I rushed to the kitchen all in a fluster.
The woman seemed to have seen through my mind. I heard her say behind me, "She likes you."
The men laughed in chorus. They could see my clumsy feelings clearly.
A man joked with Laurant. "Now that the girl likes you so much, why don't you accept her?"
I felt too ashamed to show my face. I lowered my head and tried hard to wash the glasses, but my heart was beating wildly. Pricking up my ears, I listened nervously to the sounds outside the kitchen.
In the sound of running water, I vaguely heard Laurant sneer. "I never think about it."
The man laughed again and said, "The girl is very beautiful. You are even unwilling to be a cradle snatcher?"
Laurant asked slowly, "Who would love a disabled person?"

I didn't know how I left Laurant's house. I squatted at the roadside and cried for a long time.
Yes, my left ear was deaf, and my right ear couldn't hear very well. I had been wearing a hearing aid.
Was a disabled person not qualified to have a crush on someone?
My self-esteem was trampled on by Laurant. I swore to myself that I would stop having a crush on him.
During that time, I was in a very bad state. My brother was worried about me, so he came to my university to pick me up every day.
Since he came to my university many times, there was a rumor in my department that I was about to get married.
It was too ludicrous, but I didn't explain it to others.
After I was admitted to an Ivy League College, I went abroad.
I was away for five years. Then, my alma mater provided me with a position.
I was introduced back to my alma mater as a talent. When I moved to my new office, I found an old copy of the newspaper on the shelf.
The news about Laurant suddenly appeared before my eyes after I was away for five years.
The title of the authoritative report was offensive to the eye. [The famous young physicist, Laurant Sherwood, passed away at home at two o'clock in the morning. He died at the age of 32.]
The man in the black-and-white photo looked handsome and gentle, and there seemed to be a smile at the bottom of his eyes. However, the smile was remote and cold.
The student who was helping me move came over. "Well, isn't this Professor Sherwood?"
I felt cold all over, and my teeth chattered as I asked, "How... did he die?"
"He died of a disease." The student recalled and said, "It was said that in order to finish a research, he refused to be hospitalized and relied on medicine to survive for a few years."
I stared fixedly at the newspaper in my hand, and the student's voice gradually faded in my ear.
"About two years ago, Professor Sherwood successfully developed the living regenerative cochlea. He passed away a few days after that."
"Professor Frost, this office of yours used to be Professor Sherwood's. After he passed away, it was sealed."
The cochlear implant in my ear made a sharp sound for no reason. I covered my ears and said, "I see."
The student said nothing more about it. "We've carried everything up here. Call us if you need anything again."
When he went out, he closed the door gently.
The office that had just been cleaned was spacious and empty. The green trees outside the window were swaying, and dust was dancing in the sunlight that penetrated in.
I sat in the sun, but my hands and feet were cold.
In fact, over the years, I occasionally thought of Laurant. But whenever I thought of him, I still resented him. I didn't want to see him again for the rest of my life.
But now I knew I really could not see him again. I felt very sad.
After sitting in a daze for a long time, I took out my mobile phone and found Laurant's Skype account.
I saw the last message in the chat frame. It was the third year of my studying abroad. He hadn't sent me a message for a long time, but during Christmas, he sent me one to wish me a Merry Christmas.
[Merry Christmas, Miss Frost. Wish peace be with you every year.]
That should be his last Christmas.
But at that time, I was harboring resentment toward him. I didn't want to reply a single word to his message.
I touched his profile picture gently over and over again with a trembling finger.
I should have replied to him. At least, I might see him again.
When I was drowned in all kinds of moods, my phone suddenly vibrated.
I was surprised to find that I had accidentally double-clicked on his profile picture.
A sentence was shown after that. [I patted "Laurant Sherwood" on the shoulder and said, "Come into my arms, Darling."]
3
Before I could vent my sadness, I was confused by the words "Come into my arms, Darling".
Anyone who used Skype knew that if we double-clicked someone's profile picture, a "nudge" message would be sent to him.
But the latter half of the "nudge" message was set by someone you had nudged.
This meant that Laurant had set the content of his "nudge" message as "Come to my arms, Darling."
Was Laurant so totty?
Before I could recover from the shock, a line of words slowly appeared in the chat frame.
Laurant: [Won't your husband mind it?]
My body shook violently. A dead person had replied to my Skype message?
No. How was that possible?
It had been almost two years since Laurant passed away. At that time, Skype didn't even have the "nudge" function. How could he set the content of his "nudge" message?
Someone must have used his phone after he passed away.
I typed a question: [Who are you?]
There was an instant reply: [Laurant].
After that, he teased me. [Miss Frost, you didn't even change my alias?]
His tone and the way of addressing me were too familiar.
But I didn't believe it. [Stop joking. I know Laurant has passed away. Why do you pretend to be him?]
This time, he didn't reply for a few minutes.
I urged him nervously. [Please reply.]
Laurant finally replied: [Do you want me to die so badly? Okay, I'll tell you the truth.]
I replied: [???]
Laurant: [I'm Laurant. I'm lying in the coffin and chatting with you.]
I could imagine the man's casual and playful look. My heart suddenly trembled violently.
Had I met a ghost?
To make it worse, Laurant added: [It's dark all around. Are you afraid?]
My hand trembled and my phone nearly fell out of my hand.
If there wasn't anyone using his phone to play a prank on me, was this man a human or a ghost?
I quickly clicked on the voice call invitation. My heart was in my throat.
Finally, he answered it.
But I couldn't hear anything.
It was as if he was really in a dark enclosed space. There was no sound of wind or human voice.
My trembling voice slipped out of my lips. "Laurant?"
I heard his deep and gentle voice. "Yes, it's me."
The phone dropped out of my hand, and I hurried to catch it.
Laurant noticed it and he chuckled in a low voice.
Warm sunlight enveloped my body. In broad daylight, I really couldn't believe that I had met a ghost.
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind. As a physicist, I would rather believe in parallel spaces.
Although the idea was crazy, I still asked in a trembling voice, "Laurant, what's the date today?"
"May 11th, 2018."
It seemed that I had made Laurant feel helpless. He teased me playfully, saying, "You're a fool. Although I'm in the coffin, the date is the same."
My boyfriend went bankrupt and wants to break up with me. I don’t agree. He said, "Well, are you brave enough to get married to me?"
Do you believe in love at first sight? The moment I first met Mingyuan, I had that feeling. I cautiously accommodated him, maintaining his pride with my humility—warm yet hypocritical, like the fake flowers welcoming guests at a restaurant’s entrance. Until one day, I was utterly exhausted and chose to give up. I encountered another person during a time of chaos in my life. "So I showed up." To be honest, he awakened my desires. He saw through my games with words, understanding that I was greedy, selfish, and prone to avoidance, yet he still held my hand tightly, as he always did. I received a constant stream of messages from Mingyuan, but they no longer mattered to me. I should be someone with a strong capacity to endure and process my emotions. During the time I was Mingyuan's girlfriend, I tried my best to dissolve negative feelings within myself—without confiding or disturbing anyone. I once tried to act cute, hoping he would comfort me, thinking that just a few kind words would suffice. But he looked at me with great difficulty, saying, "I really don’t know how to comfort you. The ways of comforting girls are just tricks of scumbags; I don’t want to be like them." At that moment, I thought to myself that it was normal for a straight guy not to know how to comfort someone, and I could slowly teach him. The boy I liked would love me in his own way. The blindness of love made me completely overlook the obvious logical error in that statement. Until this moment. Last night, late at night around midnight, sharp pain in my lower abdomen jolted me awake from a rather unsettled sleep, shocking my nerves. Menstrual cramps. I was breaking into a cold sweat, curling up in bed in the hot summer, tightly closing my eyes, hoping that if I just held on, it would pass. The endless pain dulled my reason; this time, the intensity of the cramps seemed more severe than ever before. I struggled to get out of bed and, to avoid waking my roommate, stumbled around in the dark searching for ibuprofen. It should be fine now. I comforted myself with that thought. But the pain didn’t subside with the medication; in fact, I felt a churn in my stomach. In a hazy moment, I remembered the doctor's advice: it’s best not to take ibuprofen on an empty stomach and to take it half an hour before cramps start... The sound of me vomiting in the bathroom woke my roommate. She turned on the light, just as I was stepping out. She was startled by my state and nearly called for an ambulance, "Oh my God, your lips are so pale." She poured me a cup of hot water and waited with me until the pain slowly faded. When I woke up the next day, I momentarily felt as if I had been reborn. I hesitated for a long time, holding my phone, but I still wanted to tell Mingyuan about it. He was very busy with work and didn’t like being disturbed, so I didn’t dare call him and chose to send a message instead. I was really feeling a bit unwell, wanting some comfort, even just from Chatime. As dusk approached, he finally replied. "What should we do?" "Go to the hospital." When I saw the message, my emotions were somewhat flat. At that time, there were a thousand kilometers between us, and I knew that distance made care seem pale and powerless. As a modern, independent woman, I also shouldn’t be that fragile. But he, it seemed, had never cared. He had never comforted me or offered much consolation. All of this, I had never taught him. By sheer chance, I scrolled back through our chat history. The time had always...
That night at the graduation farewell dinner, he had his new girlfriend, the campus beauty, in his arms while everyone around was teasing him to introduce me, his childhood sweetheart, to someone. He glanced over at me sitting in the corner and said to his group of friends, "This silly big girl has a face that looks like someone owes her money. Who would want her?" I shrank back into the shadows, afraid that others would see the tears I was suppressing. An ugly girl doesn't have the right to cry; that was the first lesson I learned when I became his childhood sweetheart.
I woke up in the middle of the night and felt someone next to me. In the moonlight, the man dressed lightly appeared in my bed again.
Here's the translation of your text into English: "My stepson's son and I secretly had a romantic relationship for a while. It ended in a particularly ugly way. Later, when he was drunk, he cornered me in the bathroom and said, 'I’m just someone who loves being tortured; we’re meant to torment each other until we grow old. What are you going to do about it?'"
Here's the translation into English: "Participating in a variety show, my partner is a popular male star. During the escape room segment, I pretended to be scared and dove into his arms seeking protection. He snorted coldly and pushed me away: 'What are you pretending to be a weak woman for? You usually watch horror movies while eating, right?' I continued to lean into his arms: 'We're this familiar already, you don’t have to act like you're not interested in women. Just hold me tight; this is my new character setting.' 'Ex-girlfriend,' he suddenly stopped resisting, tightening his grip around my waist, 'are you trying to flirt with me?'"
