Chapter Fifty-Four

  Yu Cai, who was deeply shocked, tossed and turned on the bed for half the night before falling asleep in a daze. Before she knew it, she was startled awake by the sound of knocking at the door. With a gloomy mood, she went to open the door, only to find that it was Shi Chengyu, wearing a crumpled sleepwear, looking rather pitiful in the faint light of dawn.

  Yu Cai forced herself to suppress her anger, "Shi Chengyu, is there something?"

  I couldn't sleep.

  Can't sleep, go find your wet nurse, what's the relationship with your aunt?

  "Have you thought it through?"

  The door of the opposite house opened, and the sleepy city secretary looked at the two in surprise, "Xiao Cai, Cheng Yu? What are you doing?"

  "A stone becomes jade after being slept on."

  "So?"

  "So he can't stand how soundly I sleep."

  Qishu Fan laughed and said, "Cheng Yu, let's talk about it during the day, Xiaocai has a big temper when she gets out of bed."

  Shi Chengyu was also a bit embarrassed and quietly went downstairs. Qi Shufan beckoned, "Xiao Cai, come here."

  "Wait, I'm going to wash my face."

  Yu Cai washed up and entered the room, where Qi Shu Fan was hugging a quilt with his eyes closed, meditating. Yu Cai suddenly felt embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, I woke you up."

  "It's okay, tell me what happened."

  Yu Cai recounted everything from start to finish and asked Ji Shu Fan for his opinion, "What do you think?"

  Qishu Fan laughed, "Shi Wei changes women more often than he changes clothes. I didn't expect that the son he raised would be a sentimental fool."

  Yu Cai Hei Xian, okay, so it turns out that the legendary municipal party secretary is also a gossip.

  "Xiao Cai, you're going to write anyway, so just use the excuse that you're busy. Tell your friend to submit it to the publisher, and when it's discovered later, just say you were creating an alternate identity for yourself as a joke. Meanwhile, you'll also receive money from Shi Chengyu and make him owe you a favor, killing three birds with one stone."

  Yu Cai couldn't help but sigh in admiration, indeed an old fox! It's really different from what she thought!

  "Shi Wei has a lot of money, you can raise the price a bit higher."

  Yu Cai immediately shook her head, "Forget it, this is between me and Shi Chengyu, don't involve his dad. Besides, 200,000 is a huge amount, can't be too greedy."

  Qishu Fan nodded in agreement, "Also, wanting too much hurts feelings. His dad can endure it and leave some face for future meetings."

  Yu Cai nodded slightly, and Qi Shu Fan pulled her to sit on the bed, "You've made a fortune this time, how are you planning to spend it?"

  "I want to buy another house, can you help me again?"

  "Xiao Cai, this is still too reckless."

  "Dear uncle, trust my judgment. Besides, even if the house price doesn't go up, it won't drop to nothing, so we won't lose out."

  "Kids who are too capable and have too much initiative can also be a handful."

  "Then you won't treat me like a child, will you?"

  "Alright, it's still early, go back to sleep for a while."

  "No, it's almost five thirty, my sleepiness has passed, you sleep a bit longer, I'll go take a look at the book."

  Yu Cai came out of Qishu Fan's room, thought for a moment and went downstairs. As expected, he saw Shi Chengyu sitting on the sofa with an unchanged expression, but this time he was holding "The Unfinished Song" instead of a magazine.

  "Turning stones into jade."

  Shi Chengyu heard the sound and immediately straightened his back, looking over. Yu Zai walked up to him and sat down beside him. "I've thought it through, I've decided to accept your proposal. Does that teacher of yours have a favorite dynasty? I can write it so that after she kills herself, she travels through time and space to her favorite dynasty, starting a new life. If you're willing, I can even arrange for the male lead to have some similarities with you."

  Her eyebrows and eyes relaxed, she cleared her throat and said, "Thank you".

  "I'm honored, I'll write it down and you can come take a look at any time, give me some feedback, if acceptable I'll consider it."

  Shi Chengyu nodded, "She once told me that if she had the chance, she would definitely want to see Pan An's Fruitful Carriage".

  "Wei Jin, well, okay, but I lack relevant materials, can you help me find them at the city library?"

  "Good," Shi Chengyu said succinctly.

  Yu Cai's eyes sparkled with amusement, "Shi Chengyu, tell me again about your teacher's temperament, habits and hobbies. I'll try to make it more vivid, so that people who know her will recognize her at a glance."

  "Good..."

  Qin Wan had just opened the door when she saw Shi Chengyu speaking slowly with a hint of confusion, Yu Cai was sitting not far away listening intently, occasionally jotting down two notes. The scene seemed to have a tacit understanding and harmony flowing between them, which pained her eyes. At this moment, Qin Wan also felt the discomfort that Yu Cai had felt before, but Shi Chengyu wasn't even that close to her, so why did Yu Cai...

  Yu Cai heard the noise over there and smiled at Qin Wan, "Sister Qin Wan is up?"

  Qin Wan nodded, "What did you say to Cheng Yu?"

  "Just chat casually."

  Qin Wan saw that she didn't want to say more, so he went into the bathroom to wash up. Yu Cai picked up paper and pen, "It's just right that we've finished talking too. Don't forget to give me your teacher's diary and the information about the Jin Dynasty, the more complete the better."

  Shi Chengyu nodded, Yu Cai rubbed her forehead and smiled brightly at him, "I'm really envious of her. If I had a student like you - well, I probably don't have such good luck".

  With a spiritual support, Shi Chengyu is no longer in a state of being half-dead all day. He actively helps Yu Cai organize materials, supervises her writing, reads through the texts she has written again and again, and even offers suggestions. He also volunteers to help Qizhi with math problems so that Yu Cai can focus on writing.

  "What a wonder! They all looked at each other in amazement, whispering to each other and asking the way. 'Ah, the charm of Yu Cai is really great!'"

  Ji Shi looked at Yu Cai, who was typing away on her phone, and said, "It's very comfortable with her."

  He Qi thought for a moment, "It's also possible, but judging from Shi Chengyu's expression, he probably already knows that Yu Cai is Zuo Cai."

  Nod of relief.

  "Wow, I didn't expect Yu Cai to have such a crazy male book fan."

  "Don't you like her book?"

  "It's not bad, but it's not that exaggerated either?"

  Qī shì zhī yā diào shēng yīn, "wǒ jué de 《wèi yáng lí gē》 hěn mò míng qí miào, yī diǎn bǐ bù shàng tā fā zài zá zhì shàng de xiǎo wén zhāng".

  Translation:

  Qishizhi lowered his voice and said, "I think 'Unfinished Song' is quite inexplicable, not as good as the short articles she published in magazines."

  Hehe smiled and said, "A Shi, don't talk nonsense like this, if Yu Cai finds out, she'll probably hate you for the rest of her life."

  He barely smiled and then lowered his head to continue reading.

  Qin Wan heard something from a distance but didn't quite catch it, so she leaned in and asked, "Hey, what has Yu Cai been writing all day?"

  "Oh, she dreams of becoming a great writer, don't mind her, Qin Wan sister."

  Qin Yan pouted, "You must be hiding something from me!"

  He Qi smiled and said, "Don't mind, Qin Wan sister, Yu Cai is like Xia Yunyun, she likes to scribble and doodle for no reason."

  "Cheng Yu has been acting strange for the past two days."

  "What's with the shrug? You won't believe it, but A Shi was originally similar to Shi Chengyu. After studying with Yu Cai for just one semester, she became like this. She has a strong sense of camaraderie and is prone to jealousy!"

  Qin Wan smiled, "That's true, even I couldn't help but like her".

  "By the way, Qin Wan sister, don't you need to go to work?"

  "My job is to tutor Cheng Yu."

  "Ah, I haven't seen you tutor him before."

  "He didn't want to study during this period of time, besides, Cheng Yu is very smart and I don't need to tutor him much."

  He hummed in agreement and stopped talking, Qin Wan thoughtfully looked at Yu Cai, what about her charm?
