The Young Matriarch

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Excited Just Thinking About Him

Bai Chuwei was slightly stunned, her heart feeling as if a strange current had skimmed over it.

Bai Chuwei raised her hand, her fingertips drawing the tassels of the bell that a gentle breeze had blown over her head, the sound of the chimes flowing into her ears. She closed her eyes but her mind was crystal clear, “But I can’t sleep.”

She hadn’t really slept for five thousand years, mostly wandering in the sea of consciousness.

Especially at night, and particularly those nights a hundred years ago, those were the loneliest and most boring of days. At least the modern city had a rich nightlife.

At night, she came to the realization that she was the one who had been left behind.

That’s why she liked to wander into other people’s dreams, finding the pleasure in watching ordinary people have sweet dreams.

Bai Chuwei closed her eyes and suddenly said, “Hanhan, how about I visit your dreams.”

Duan Feihan went silent for a moment.

She had appeared in his dreams many times already, causing his psychologist to look at him with a very complicated gaze.

Duan Feihan reached out to turn off the bedside lamp and said, “If you can’t sleep… count sheep?”

Bai Chuwei snorted with a laugh, without thinking said, “Why count sheep when I can count you?”

There was a pause on the other end, and Bai Chuwei suddenly opened her eyes and corrected herself, “No, that’s wrong, counting you would probably keep me up even more.”

Thinking of Tang Seng meat, Bai Chuwei felt she would only get more excited. Why would she even think of sleeping?

Duan Feihan coughed an unnatural light cough, “…Goodnight.”

The call ended, and Bai Chuwei lay in bed with her eyes closed, able to hear the faint snoring of Xue Qiu in the small basket on the nightstand.

Boring.

The next day when Bai Chuwei went to school, the students all around were discussing the explosive news from the wee hours of the morning—the discovery of the manuscript for “Records of the Mountain Moon,” along with two chapters that had never been published.

The likelihood of changes to the mandatory literature reading questions in the college entrance exam was quite significant.

By noon, Bai Chuwei didn’t even have to go to the cafeteria with Duan Xingye and the others, as Cao Yushu would bring food made by his dad.

It wasn’t apparent at first, but over the past few days, the classmates began to notice something was amiss…

Cao Yushu seemed to have grown taller!

Not only that, his whole demeanor had become much more confident, and he radiated a different energy, catching the attention of several girls in the class.

Cao Yushu looked good, had a great personality and a good family background. Now that he had grown taller and looked good enough to show off, he’d make a very presentable boyfriend! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The focus of attention for many was—how did Cao Yushu get taller?

During this time, Cao Yushu had only been in contact with Bai Chuwei.

Suddenly, the number of people wanting to book a consultation with Bai Chuwei skyrocketed!

Every day, Qi Yue diligently screened those who wanted to book appointments, turning away any students who had been involved in violence. Even if they were willing to pay a consultation fee of ten thousand yuan, they wouldn’t be accepted.

Qi Yue happily munched on the food box brought by Cao Yushu, feeling blissful enough to bubble over with joy.

With her mouth full, she mumbled, “Goddess, the three appointment consultations from lunchtime are done, we can head back to the classroom now.”

Bai Chuwei propped her chin, smiling but not quite smiling, “Wait a bit longer, there’s one more person.”

Another person?

Qi Yue looked up and saw a very familiar figure approaching from a distance.

The man was handsome and dashing, with an elegant and extraordinary face. He looked particularly striking in a gray suit.

Qi Yue’s chopsticks dropped in shock, “Brother?”

Qi Mo took a seat at the stone table, and before he could say a word, Qi Yue was already excited, “Bro, I’ve been telling you to go see my goddess for treatment!”

Bai Chuwei looked interested, “Oh? What ailment is young master Qi preparing to have checked?”

Qi Mo let out a sigh and pointed to his heart.

Qi Yue was shocked, “Bro, I never knew you had a heart problem!”

Qi Mo looked uncomfortable, “I’m here to look at… a lack of sense.”
