The Young Matriarch
Chapter 538 - Chapter 538 Chapter 538 He is definitely not seeing things

Chapter 538: Chapter 538 He is definitely not seeing things! Chapter 538: Chapter 538 He is definitely not seeing things! Bai Chuwei gave Li Jian a pill before leaving the hospital, greatly increasing the success rate of the surgery, and then she headed straight back to school.

After the start of the term, the freshmen had to immediately prepare for military training.

Bai Chuwei heard that all the girls in her dormitory wanted to buy Fang Qin’s sunscreen, claiming that not only did it prevent tanning, but it actually made their skin whiter!

There were no shortage of college girls who were both beauty-conscious and well-off, chasing after Fang Qin to buy it, and even discovered the Fang Family’s beauty salon.

Bai Chuwei looked on, clicking her tongue in disapproval. Wasn’t the Fang Family afraid of being targeted by Demonic Cultivators, flaunting their wealth like that?

The military training went from dawn to dusk, and because Chuwei had neutralized a minor technique, the instructor didn’t pay her any attention.

After the night training ended, the exhausted freshmen rubbed their shoulders and carried their water bottles, ready to return to their dormitories when they heard Fang Qin gasping for breath behind them.

“Bai, Bai classmate,” Fang Qin said, her face covered in sweat as she suppressed the unease in her heart and caught up with Bai Chuwei’s pace.

Under the orange glow of the streetlights, Bai Chuwei’s delicate face showed no pores, and not a single drop of sweat had fallen.

Fang Qin, on the other hand, looked at herself covered in sweat, her hair sticking to her face, and couldn’t help feeling like an ugly duckling next to her.

Bai Chuwei smiled faintly. Since she wanted to help Han Youyou with the military training, she might as well do it–after all, sisters should help each other, right?

Fang Qin panted, “Bai classmate, I heard you’re friends with Su Ruan?”

Su Ruan and Fang Qin were in the same squad, and because Su Ruan was indeed soft and delicate as her name suggested, she became known to everyone in the squad within a few days of training.

Bai Chuwei was noncommittal, and Fang Qin continued, “I… I just saw her going toward the back hill with someone. It might not be safe so late at night.”

Fang Qin didn’t dare meet Bai Chuwei’s eyes and lowered her head.

Bai Chuwei looked at Fang Qin with a smile that was not quite a smile, noting that this young girl was rather crafty for her age.

“Alright, I got it,” said Bai Chuwei, dropping the remark before walking towards the back hill.

Fang Qin clenched her fists tightly, not worried at all about Bai Chuwei calling Su Ruan, because Chuwei definitely wouldn’t be able to reach her!

Duan Xingye switched his phone to flashlight mode, continuously wiping the sweat from his forehead, scanning the small field back and forth, “Su Ruan, you really did a number there, losing your phone like that!”

Su Ruan looked downcast, “I don’t know how it happened. My phone was on silent, and you can’t even call through… What should we do now?”

Duan Xingye used the flashlight to help her look, after a whole night of drills, he was about to die from the heat, and after helping her search for over half an hour and feeding a ton of mosquitoes, Duan Xingye became deflated, “Su Ruan, why don’t you just forget about that phone? I’ll buy you a new one?”

Su Ruan’s eyes brimmed with tears, “But my phone has a lot of photos that haven’t been uploaded online, including the pictures from our last Orca ride…”

Duan Xingye sighed, “Alright, then let’s keep looking. If that doesn’t work, we can ask Weiwei to track it for you.”

The two of them continued searching for the phone in the small field, feeding more mosquitoes, while Fang Qin watched Bai Chuwei walking towards the back hill, gradually disappearing from sight.

Her heart thumped wildly, recalling what her senior had said about expelling anyone who went to the back hill.

She shakily took out her phone, not yet dialing the number when an old man’s voice came from behind her, “It’s her, let’s hurry up and go.”

The ninety-year-old elder, wearing reading glasses, was flanked by several caregivers who were so frightened they went pale and repeatedly implored, “Elder sir, you must not go there! Please go back and rest.”

The elder paid them no heed and stubbornly pursued the direction Bai Chuwei had gone, leaning on his walking stick.

He had definitely seen Sister Bai just moments ago!

He was sure his eyes hadn’t deceived him!
