Chapter 764: Chapter 744: Self-taught?
Luo Qianqian looked and looked until she finally dozed off on the desk, sleeping so sweetly with her head resting on two books.
In her dream, there was an old man with a white beard teaching her something called "qi barabaraba," and she actually understood those sour and difficult passages she had read earlier.
Luo Qianqian opened her eyes and rubbed them, stretched languidly, "Hey, how did I fall asleep?" It must have been because the book wasn’t interesting that she fell asleep.
But now was not the time to worry about whether the books were interesting or not, right?
Luo Qianqian resignedly flipped the book open again, only to discover that she now understood the parts that were previously unclear. She vaguely recalled the scene in her dream and blinked in slight astonishment, "Is there really such a strange thing, huh?"
However, after such an experience, she couldn’t help but worry if all this was just a dream. Would she wake up to still be herself, the one always daydreaming about Prince Charming?
Throwing the thought out of her mind, Luo Qianqian took the book and sat on the grass, though in her dream she had been sitting on a big "Stone." But she couldn’t be too choosy now.
Trying to sense the "qi, qi, qi" within her body...
Luo Qianqian almost became angry from not being able to find the "qi," until, just before she was about to break down, she finally felt its presence.
Her face lit up with joy, she thought of the teachings of the old man in her dream, letting that bit of "qi" travel along the meridians for a complete cycle...
Luo Qianqian didn’t know how long she had been sitting, only feeling that it wouldn’t be this annoying even if she was driving; she had already drained all her strength by barely completing the circulation once.
She then collapsed, feeling completely drained, and lay on the ground drenched in sweat as if she had just done some intense exercise, and fell into a heavy sleep.
"Such boldness," a voice exclaimed, then the room returned to silence.
When Luo Qianqian got up, she felt sticky all over and smelled so bad she frowned tightly. Had she fallen into a toilet?
Unable to stand it, she knocked on the door.
The young man outside hastily put away his laptop, feigning indifference, and opened the door, "What’s up?"
But the next second he was staring with wide eyes, incredulous as he looked at Luo Qianqian, "You... what happened to you...?"
"I didn’t fall into a toilet!" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, "Is there a bathroom?"
The young man stuttered, "There is, come with me."
He couldn’t bear to look at Luo Qianqian’s state, and she rolled her eyes again. Was she really that smelly? Was all that exaggeration necessary? She felt somehow stronger and lighter than before.
"Can I take the books with me? I’ll bring them back after reading," Luo Qianqian said, ready to step out of the cottage but then suddenly remembered to ask.
"Ah, no problem, take them, but you can’t let anyone else see them."
Luo Qianqian pouted, who would want to see them?
She went to pick up the two books, "Can you give me a bag?"
"..." A bag too??? The ’young man’ was speechless but still casually flipped through and tossed a paper bag over, "Make do with this."
Luo Qianqian packed the books, looking at the pattern on the bag, she raised an eyebrow. She didn’t know that this seemingly recluse young man even bought phones, the latest model no less?
Arriving at the bathroom, Luo Qianqian observed the rather classic wooden tub combined with the quite modern shower—quite a feeling.
The ’young man’ stood outside the bathroom, somewhat anxiously asking Luo Qianqian, "Don’t you have any other questions?"
Luo Qianqian soaked in the warm wooden tub, a face full of confusion. What confusion?
"Oh, right, don’t you guys provide meals?" Luo Qianqian asked loudly, feeling only the rumbling of her stomach...
However, it turned out that a growling stomach could indicate not only hunger...
Luo Qianqian clutched her belly as she climbed out of the tub, looking at the toilet beside her with a sense of familiarity.
The ’young man’ outside heard Luo Qianqian’s vague response and was speechless. Was this really the time to think about this?
Just as he was about to say something, he saw a stunningly beautiful person approaching. If Luo Qianqian were there, she would have recognized them immediately as the androgynous beauty she had mentioned.
Beauty furrowed his brows slightly, creating another breathtaking sight: "She..."
The ’young man’ nodded, looking utterly astonished: "She seems hungry too..."
Beauty raised an eyebrow, looking at this bathroom that each person could only use once. Every time it was used, everything inside would be replaced, and it hadn’t been more than half a month since the last time. Wasn’t this the most frequent use since their organization was established?
"After she has eaten, take her to get her card done," Beauty waved his hand and left.
The ’young man’ watched him leave with a look of deep respect.
At this moment, Luo Qianqian sat on the toilet hugging her body, her face full of helplessness. It was quite awkward to sit there naked with diarrhea, and although it wasn’t cold, it still felt very strange.
The diarrhea wasn’t painful, but... the stench made her flush the toilet from time to time. Otherwise, she couldn’t stand the smell.
She even wondered if the combination of the grilled meat for lunch and the crab for dinner produced ammonia, given how pungent it was.
After she had finished using the toilet and taken a bath, she showered again. After all, seeing the bathwater turn from transparent to black, no one would believe they were clean, right?
Without a mirror, Luo Qianqian only breathed a sigh of relief when the shower water ran clear: "I almost thought I turned into ink..."
However, it was quite awkward after the bath as well, since there were towels, but... her clothes were dirty, right?
Especially after the bath, she felt even less inclined to put on those smelly clothes.
Looking around, Luo Qianqian opened the only cupboard in the bathroom and found several sets of clothes in different sizes, including underwear, although there were no bras...
After changing into a set of loose-fitting pajamas, Luo Qianqian finally opened the door, her face relaxed.
The ’young man’ outside also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Qianqian come out: "Shall we go eat first?"
Luo Qianqian nodded, but then touched her stomach, which didn’t seem to be hungry. She shook her head: "Could I get you to buy me two sets of clothes first? I’ll pay for them." Saying this, Luo Qianqian took out her wallet, feeling quite uncomfortable in what she was wearing...
"Let’s go get your card done first. You can give your size to Shi Bahao and ask him to shop for you," the ’young man’ paused, then added, "My name is Changsun Wei."
Luo Qianqian blinked: "My name is Luo Qianqian, and my phone is dead."
Changsun Wei looked at Luo Qianqian’s helpless expression and handed her his phone, dialing Shi Bahao’s number directly.
Shi Bahao answered the phone groggily: "Hello?"
"Help me buy some clothes. I’ll send the sizes over in a bit." Luo Qianqian hung up after speaking and sent a message afterward.
