Chapter 133: If You Come to Pick Me Up, Then I Don’t Need an Umbrella
The Young Matriarch
The rain was heavy, showing no signs of stopping.
Bai Chuwei packed up her schoolbag and glanced at Duan Xingye, who seemed a bit worried. Offhandedly she said, âXu Xingchenâs life is much tougher than yours; at worst heâll suffer some superficial pain, but he wonât die.â
Xu Xingchen and Tong Qingyan were the male and female leads of this book, the children of fortune, who were not so easy to die.
Bai Chuwei picked up a transparent white umbrella by her feet and shouldered her schoolbag as she walked out.
Cao Yushu sneaked like a thief, keeping a long distance from Bai Chuwei and whispered, âClassmate Bai, my driver is waiting outside, letâs head out first.â
Bai Chuweiâs eyebrows lifted slightly as she asked with a smile, âDo you have so little faith in my medical skills?â
Cao Yushuâs handsome face turned red in an instant, his head shaking like a rattle.
He just felt it was too unbelievable.
Others, seeing him following Bai Chuwei, would certainly guess he was going to her for medical treatment, and although he was good in all other respects, his height was his fatal flaw.
If it couldnât be cured, then the girls in class would again ridicule him, calling him a shorty who still struggled.
After thinking it over, Bai Chuwei said, âYou tell those people, if anyone still mocks you as a shorty, I will not accept any of their appointments or registrations.â
She was most annoyed by verbal abuse.
Cao Yushuâs eyes welled up; he opened the umbrella with some difficulty and held it above Bai Chuweiâs head, as she was even taller than him.
Bai Chuwei stepped out from under his umbrella, opened her transparent one, and said, âI can hold my own.â
The two of them walked out of the school one after the other. A black sedan pulled up at the entrance, its tires kicking up a small spray of water.
Seeing the unworldly handsome man, Bai Chuwei was somewhat surprised, âHanhan, how come youâre here?â
Feihan quietly sized up Cao Yushu standing beside Bai Chuwei, who was unremarkable, not even comparable to his nephew.
Feihan shifted his gaze and answered, âYou didnât have an umbrella, so I came to pick you up.â
The smile on Bai Chuweiâs face gradually faded; did they understand the same thing?
Hadnât they agreed that he would be her lackey?
Feihan looked at Bai Chuwei perplexedly as the smile on her face fell, his eyes then falling on the transparent umbrella in her hands, âIt just seems that you do have an umbrella.â
Feihan began to doubt that Xiaozhou also misunderstood Bai Chuweiâs intentions.
Bai Chuwei took a deep breath and plastered a smile back on her face, her eyes alight with scorching laughter, as she walked towards an old man nearby.
The old man had descended from a small car and stood at the entrance without an umbrella, frowning. Bai Chuwei thrust the umbrella at him, âOld sir, this is for you.â
The old man was somewhat surprised, his voice carrying the accent of the Imperial Capital, âThank you, student.â Clearly, the old man was from the Imperial Capital.
Bai Chuwei didnât mind, her face full of smiles as she approached Feihan and leaned on the car window. A drop of rain fell quietly onto the back of her hand, spreading silently. Her voice sounded like a spring breeze making a round on the morning dew, âIf youâre here to pick me up, then I donât need an umbrella.â
Her eyes carried the faint light of a spring day, bright and dazzling.
She watched as Feihan rubbed the Sandalwood Buddhist Beads on his left wrist, his ears tinged red, and inexplicably said, âNow focus on academics, donât let other things distract you.â
Bai Chuwei sighed inwardly; what was up with this future antagonist?
In the past five thousand years, others had sought to be her lackeys. Why was it so awkward for him to be one, and he still had to prioritize academics?
The rain continued to pour. Cao Yushu, holding the umbrella hesitantly, interjected quietly, âBai⦠Classmate Bai, are we still going to my place today?â
âYes! Of course, weâre going!â
Feihanâs gaze turned sharp, âYou, a girl, are going to a male classmateâs house after school in the evening?â
