I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 874 - Dream 6

Chapter 874 -874 Dream 6

This room clearly housed something, and it definitely wasn’t cats or dogs.

Bai Youwei slowly backed away to a window; through the glass, she could see the garden landscape.

At that moment, those two were still in the garden.

Du Lai was pulling out all the stops to make Fu Miaoxue laugh incessantly, her laughter wafting over in waves. Bai Youwei didn’t know what to think—

Du Lai probably thought he had successfully wheedled information out of the arrogant and ignorant young lady; little did he know that the young miss had played him with just a few casual remarks…

She looked again towards the room at the end of the second-floor hallway, curbed her curiosity, and turned to leave.

Fu Miaoxue’s evening classes began at three in the afternoon and ended at five.

Exactly what she studied, Bai Youwei wasn’t sure, only that Fu Miaoxue looked terrible when she came out of the family teacher’s room, as if she had fought a bitter battle.

Afterwards, Fu Miaoxue clung to Du Lai to play.

By this time, Du Lai was no longer a gardener; he had been “promoted” to accompany the young lady.

The family teacher, Qiao Na, had no objections to this. Apart from etiquette and manners, she did not interfere with any of Fu Miaoxue’s other activities. It seemed that Miaoxue actually had quite a bit of authority within the manor.

After dinner, Du Lai taught Fu Miaoxue to play poker, and the two were almost always together, paying little attention to Bai Youwei.

Perhaps in this dream, Bai Youwei wasn’t supposed to have a role, so her presence seemed redundant.

Bai Youwei wasn’t bothered; she wandered alone through the manor, looking here and there, taking a leisurely stroll, silently watching the “plot” unfold, all the while keeping track of the time, ready for the loop to start at any moment.

Chen Hui’s was four hours, Du Lai’s was eight, and Fu Miaoxue’s dream obviously stretched much longer.

Until night fell, the dream showed no sign of ending.

The butler arranged for Bai Youwei to stay in a guest room on the second floor.

Bai Youwei lay on the bed, utterly sleepless. She still couldn’t understand what was so special about such a dream that it could trap Fu Miaoxue?

She sat up, grabbed her canvas bag, and opened it—

Inside lay a severed hand.

Not seeing her rabbit, Bai Youwei felt somewhat disappointed. As for why the hand could follow her into the dream… probably because it wasn’t a prop or a player, like a harmless little bug that had slipped through the system’s rules.

“Go to the third floor and keep watch. If there’s any situation with Du Lai, come back immediately and tell me,” Bai Youwei gave a few instructions, quietly opened the door, and placed the severed hand at the doorway.

The hand crawled away silently.

Bai Youwei closed the door and continued to wait.

Time ticked away, second by second. On this quiet night, not a sound could be heard throughout the entire manor.

Bai Youwei sat on the edge of the bed, deep in thought. Could this night be a part of the loop? Would everything return to the starting point when dawn broke?

Around 2 am, she heard three soft knocks at the door.

The sound came from the bottom of the door, and she knew it was the severed hand returning. She quickly walked over, opened the door, and asked in a low voice, “How is it? Did Du Lai make a move?”

The severed hand raised a finger, tapped it, then straightened out four fingers.

“Four?… What does that mean?” Bai Youwei asked, frowning. “Are you saying he has accomplices? There are four people?”

The hand tapped its finger again.

“Which floor did they go to?” Bai Youwei asked further.

The hand put down one finger, leaving three fingers extended.

Bai Youwei exclaimed, “The third floor?… They really didn’t go to the second?”

Just as she was puzzled, a sudden commotion came from outside! A cacophony of footsteps surged endlessly toward the third floor!

“We’ve caught a thief! Quick, up there!” someone shouted.

Upon hearing this, Bai Youwei immediately grabbed the severed hand, stuffed it into her bag, opened the door and followed the others upstairs.
