Chapter 260

Eyelids fluttering, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Yunshu? Why did you wake up so early?"

Xia Qingge yawned and stretched lazily.

Seeing Li Yunshu standing by the bed with an uncertain expression, not knowing what she was muttering about,

she asked quizzically.

"What's wrong? What are you daydreaming about?"

Li Yunshu snapped back to reality.

She decided to have a serious talk with her best friend.

Uncle had helped her a lot and treated her exceptionally well.

She didn't want to see Xia Qingge's intervention

throw Uncle Xu's life into complete chaos.

Thus, she sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Qingge, did you just have a dream?"

"A dream?"

Xia Qingge was slightly stunned.

She said blankly,

"No, my sleep quality is pretty good, I usually don't dream…"

That was indeed the case.

After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill given to her by Xu Hao—

she felt her body was incomparably healthy, and her sleep quality was exceptionally good.

She never dreamed at night anymore.

Waking up in the early morning with exceptional Spirit.

Li Yunshu didn't believe it at all.

She thought her best friend was just embarrassed.

After all… it was that kind of spring dream.

"Stop hiding it from me. Given our relationship, is there anything embarrassing to talk about?"

"I will definitely keep it a secret for you, I won't tell anyone, and I won't laugh at you."

Xia Qingge was even more baffled.

"What are you talking about?"

Li Yunshu rolled her eyes.

"Are you still quibbling? I heard your sleep-talking…"

"What did I say?"

Xia Qingge was quite curious about her own sleep-talking.

She hadn't even dreamed, alright?

Seeing that her best friend still refused to admit it, Li Yunshu grew a bit annoyed.

Thinking about it a moment later, she felt a bit relieved.

When ordinary people dream, after waking up, they often don't know what they dreamed about.

Xia Qingge was in this exact situation.

But… that wasn't right.

According to Xia Qingge's sleep-talking, she had been begging for mercy for quite a long time.

She would definitely be able to feel the traces.

How could she forget it right after waking up?

Seeing her best friend's look of not being bewildered at all, she felt it necessary to remind her.

"You said Uncle…"

Just as she uttered those two words, two blushing hues crept up Li Yunshu's pretty face.

She stammered and couldn't continue.

"Go on, what did I say?"

Xia Qingge urged.

Li Yunshu gritted her teeth and blurted out the rest of the words.

"Uncle isn't coming anymore, I can't take it anymore, please spare me."

Xia Qingge was stunned.

Then her face also turned red.

She hadn't dreamed at all, and she knew this wasn't her sleep-talking.

It was simply a habit she had formed.

Because every time she was with Xu Hao, she would always say this phrase.

Seeing Xia Qingge blush, Li Yunshu said irritably,

"You remember now, right?"

"Although that's the case… I still want to tell you, I really didn't dream."

"I've even spoken out your sleep-talking, and you're still quibbling?"

Li Yunshu was exasperated and waved her hand.

"Fine, fine, I won't ask what kind of dream you had either. I just want to ask, do you want to have something happen with Uncle Xu?"

"It's not like that, I don't, stop talking nonsense."

Xia Qingge issued a triple denial.

"Hehe… Is that so?"

"How do you explain this piece of sleep-talking?"

Li Yunshu let out a cold chuckle.

Gradually, her tone softened, and she earnestly persuaded,

"Qingge, I know you admire Uncle Xu, and so do I."

"But… feelings cannot warp. The age gap between you and Uncle Xu is right there, it won't be accepted by others."

"Besides, Uncle Xu also has a family. If you rashly step in, it will affect Uncle Xu's life."

Xia Qingge listened very attentively.

After her best friend finished speaking, she blinked.

"Then wouldn't it be fine if I don't let others know and don't disturb Uncle Xu's life?"

"?????"

Li Yunshu was dumbfounded.

Not letting others know about her and Uncle Xu's affair.

And not disturbing Uncle Xu's life.

Just quietly staying by Uncle Xu's side like this.

She said in a daze,

"Then aren't you…"

"A mistress, right?"

Xia Qingge said it for her.

Then she spoke with a tone that saw through everything.

"Why do you care about what others think? Are other people's opinions that important?"

"As long as I can be with the person I like, I don't care at all."

Li Yunshu stared blankly at her best friend, unable to speak for a moment.

What Xia Qingge said indeed made some sense.

Could it be that just because of other people's views, she couldn't be with the person she liked?

If she had to be with someone she didn't like, just thinking about it was torture.

Li Yunshu wracked her brains and finally found a reason to refute Xia Qingge.
