Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 694: Dreaming of a Confession

Su Wan had also told the children about what happened to her on Ancient Earth before.

This time, she gave a detailed account of her situation back then.

At that time, in the Interstellar Era, she was in a state of unconsciousness.

"Looking at it this way, Vivian’s condition seems somewhat similar to mine. But my problem back then was due to an accidental injury; my Spatial Superpower was prematurely activated to protect me, and it sent my soul to another space. Did Vivian also experience something like this when she was a child?"

When Gu Yan had a good relationship with Vivian, the two young girls had also talked about their childhood.

Gu Yan shook her head, "I haven’t heard Vivian mention that she had experienced anything like this when she was a child."

"Speaking of which, that accident I encountered back then happened thanks to Star Thief Lucifer," Su Wan paused, squinting as she said, "Lucifer has been here before; he even met with the Insect God alone... He allowed him to escape, but according to the Insect God, was Lucifer here to seek a cure for his daughter’s illness?"

As Su Wan spoke, she subtly scrutinized her daughter.

Sure enough, upon hearing ’Insect God’, Gu Yan’s eyes flickered.

Next to her, Gu Yu was pondering the issue of the soul; he said, "It seems that Lucifer has found a way to treat Vivian, yet he came to find the Insect God... Could it be that the Insect God can cure Vivian?"

"We’re not sure, and of course, we don’t know the extent of the Insect God’s power."

Following that, Gu Yan fell silent and listened to her mother and brother chatting, looking very pensive and heavy-hearted.

After dinner that night, when she returned to her room, Gu Yan sat there for a long time without speaking.

Xiaofu was worried about her, "Master, why haven’t you said a word for so long?"

Gu Yan activated her optic brain and her gaze landed on Bai Li’s name. She paused for a long time before slowly retracting her hand.

She murmured to herself, "Brother Little Mushroom clearly knows that I’m very worried about Vivian, he knows how to save Vivian but he doesn’t tell me anything..."

Xiaofu didn’t quite understand the situation, and it couldn’t talk about the matters between its master and Bai Li with anyone else, not even other AIs.

It was distressed and at a loss.

Right at that moment, a flash appeared on Gu Yan’s optic brain—a message had come through.

Gu Yan initially thought it was from Bai Li, but it turned out to be a friend request.

"Jiang Huai?"

Gu Yan was stunned for a few seconds before she recalled that Jiang Huai was the Plantman she met in the library that day.

She actually had a good impression of him.

So after thinking about it, Gu Yan accepted the friend request, wondering if he had something he wanted to discuss.

Once the friend request was approved, Jiang Huai’s message was sent immediately.

Jiang Huai: "I apologize for the sudden request to be friends, it was quite presumptuous. I hope you don’t mind."

Gu Yan: "It’s okay, do you need something from me?"

Jiang Huai: "The thing is, I heard you’re also a Plantman, and I’ve always wanted to meet you. Also, the people on our star have always greatly admired the culture of Landis Star."

Jiang Huai: "Additionally, if you want to know about anything concerning Plantmen, you can ask me directly."

Gu Yan: "Oh, I see. But for now, I don’t really have anything to ask."

Jiang Huai: "Alright then, I won’t bother you further. We’ll be in touch later."

Gu Yan: "Sure. Goodbye."

Although the friend request was a bit abrupt, Jiang Huai didn’t say anything else, and just like him, it left her with a feeling of gentleness and elegance, like a breath of spring.

Distracted by Jiang Huai, Gu Yan temporarily sorted out her thoughts and after getting ready, she decided to go to sleep.

However, before sleeping, Gu Yan secretly decided that since the matter concerned Vivian’s illness, she would personally ask Brother Little Mushroom tomorrow.

But her taking the initiative to ask was, after all, not the same as the other party offering the information willingly.

Therefore, that night, Gu Yan slept restlessly, and even in her dreams, she dreamt she had confessed her feelings to Brother Little Mushroom directly!

After hearing Gu Yan’s words, Bai Li frowned and then said in a very indifferent tone, "And then what?"

Gu Yan nervously fidgeted with her light-brain watch, and through gritted teeth said, "So, can you... can you just stay forever, stay by my side?"

Bai Li’s expression remained as always, detached and cool.

The words he spoke were equally dispassionate.

He said, "I can’t."

Tears instantly welled up in Gu Yan’s eyes, and as she cried, her pillow became soaked, but she remained engulfed in the profoundly sad dream, unable to awaken.

Xiaofu flew around worriedly and eventually had to use its mechanical arms to take a tissue and gently wipe the corners of the sleeping Gu Yan’s eyes.

Early the next morning, when Su Wan saw her daughter’s swollen eyes, she was immediately taken aback.

"Xiaoyan, what’s wrong? Didn’t you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah, I didn’t sleep well," Gu Yan replied, rubbing her eyes and avoiding her mother’s gaze.

Su Wan’s heart sank.

It must have been that old Insect God bullying Xiaoyan!

She took out the Soothing Medicine and, after telling her daughter to close her eyes, sprayed it and said, "If you’re feeling unwell today, just rest at home."

Gu Yu said from the side, "Xiaoyan, you rest at home and I’ll request leave from school for you."

"No need, I have a paper to submit today." Gu Yan still remembered she had to ask Bai Li about Vivian’s condition and, moreover, it was only during that afternoon time slot that she would be able to see Bai Li at the library.

At other times, she had no idea what he was busy with.

Gu Yan realized that, in fact, she hardly knew anything about Bai Li. He appeared and disappeared without a trace, even though they had known each other for many years and even though he had always been quite good to her.

But she really didn’t know what he was thinking.

If they were just friends, then there was nothing wrong with that; for instance, Gu Yan had secrets from Vivian, and she understood that friends have their own little secrets.

But once she started to feel something different for Bai Li... she couldn’t control the urge to know more about him.

Eventually, Gu Yan still went to school.

Worried about her daughter, Su Wan asked her son Gu Yu to take care of Xiaoyan a bit more.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan headed to school and, after finishing her morning classes as quickly as possible, she took her textbooks and went to the library earlier than usual.

After waiting for over two hours, Bai Li, dressed in the Empire University student uniform, finally strolled over leisurely.

Bai Li was going to be away for a while.

Because for Freya’s tribe to join their own, only Bai Li could discern whether they were truly submitting to them or not.

The two of them faced each other, and both started to speak at the same time.

"I want to tell you something," they both said.

Bai Li’s cold and handsome face showed a slight ripple. "Xiaoyan, you go first."

Gu Yan gripped the textbook in her hand tightly, "Brother Little Mushroom, that Star Thief Lucifer came to see you, didn’t he?"
