Chapter 43: Really Slept!
Fu Chengque suppressed the various complex emotions in her heart. Although unclear, since the task was completed, she still needed to check the task rewards.
First, all attributes received bonuses, gaining film and television performance ability, and humanities comprehensive enhancement.
Next, her dance ability directly reached the “genius level.”
But upon closer inspection, her dance was actually only 5 points away from the “genius level”…
The system’s words sound nice, but in reality, it only added 5 points to the dance attribute.
Stingy.
Lastly, the special ability—[Divine First Experience: Creation (Limited Time)].
“System, explain.”
【[Divine First Experience: Creation (Limited Time)]: Fulfill a wish made by ‘Wen Yu’ from 10 minutes ago until the present moment. Cannot inquire, cannot imply, this wish only affects non-living creatures, cannot change the course of the world, cannot alter life trajectories. Skill countdown: 30d20h28m12s, one-time use. Violation penalty: all attributes reduced to “Normal Tier”.】
Fu Chengque was dumbfounded.
Skill?! Ability?!
Is there such a thing?
And to fulfill… a wish!?
It’s divine magic!
A deity!
The Empress!
Hahaha… as expected, with the system, she’s clearly the future goddess, the only goddess, the eternal goddess, the super Empress—
Fu Chengque!
How magnificent!
“Unfortunately, it can only be used for Wen Yu… and it’s limited time, how do I use this…”
Fu Chengque’s mind raced, from the wish to the divine, then to Empress, from Empress to Wen Yu, and then to the evening train. Finally, her mind settled on the strange and shameful fantasy of “her and Wen Yu sleeping for an hour”…
All night long, tossing and turning, unable to sleep…
***
That night, Wen Yu slept soundly, waking up refreshed in the morning.
Then he saw the messages Fu Chengque sent last night—
Ah, caught.
He smiled but didn’t reply.
After breakfast, he hummed the folk song “Mojito” while waiting at the door.
After a while, the door of the Fu family opened, and Fu Chengque, with panda eyes and a disgruntled face, walked out.
“Wow, what happened to Manager Fu? Did you go rob the rich and help the poor last night? Did you leave me some? I’m also poor.”
Fu Chengque glared at him, her eyes a bit more lively.
But she still turned and walked away, and Wen Yu had to follow.
When they reached downstairs, Fu Chengque spoke up.
“Wen Yu, did you lie to me again.”
“What did I lie to you about?”
“You lied to me yesterday, pretended we met at Jiangcheng Station, but actually, you sat next to me at Nancheng Station, right?”
“Right.”
“…”
“What’s wrong.”
Fu Chengque was furious, “So you lied to me! Clearly, you sat next to me the whole way.”
“You didn’t ask me about it.”
“Then… why didn’t you wake me up on the train?”
“You fell asleep as soon as you got on, I couldn’t wake you up no matter how hard I tried.”
“How… how did you know I was on that train?”
“I had your cousin buy the ticket for me. We bought them together. Didn’t your cousin tell you?”
What nonsense.
Fu Chengque secretly spat, her cousin was unreliable, she must have tricked her.
She took a few quick steps forward, distancing herself from Wen Yu, calming herself down. Then she stopped and turned back, finger stirring the hem of her clothes, and asked, “So… we did sit together on the train?”
“Yes, I sat by the window, and you sat by the aisle.”
“How… how did we sit?”
“?” Wen Yu leaned closer to Fu Chengque, looking at her in confusion, “Like this, stand straight, then sit down with your butt.”
He demonstrated in the air, infuriating Fu Chengque, who slapped him.
“Who asked you that! I meant… is it true… I slept, and then… we…”
Wen Yu suddenly exclaimed, suddenly understanding, “Oh! You’re asking about that. As soon as I got on the train, you leaned on me and slept soundly. I couldn’t push you away the whole way, and later, when I was too tired, I fell asleep too.”
“…”
They slept!
Really slept!
Heavens above, she actually slept with Wen Yu for an hour.
Fu Chengque felt both annoyed and embarrassed. Just hearing Wen Yu talk about it, she could imagine herself leaning against him on the train, that ambiguous scene of their heads bumping together.
Ah, she wants to smack someone, just smack this guy in front of her!
“Wen Yu, I’m gonna smack you!”
Fu Chengque raised her hand, but Wen Yu dashed away.
Fu Chengque chased after him, fuming. Wen Yu alternated between walking and running.
Passersby watched with curiosity, some avoiding them, while others smiled knowingly at this slightly youthful scene…
When they reached the bus stop, Fu Chengque hadn’t caught up, and she felt a lot calmer despite her anger.
Upon reflection, it was just resting against each other on the high-speed train. What’s the big deal?
Strangers often leaned on each other to sleep on trains due to exhaustion. At such times, exchanging a smile was a solace during the journey.
She was still the future Empress, right? Shouldn’t she be magnanimous?
Wen Yu had actually helped her, hadn’t he? She should be grateful. What was she doing, chasing after him? Wouldn’t that be a joke for future subjects?
If future history books recorded: Empress Chengque was unmatched in strength, her figure stunningly beautiful, but she was narrow-minded…
How could this be? It would tarnish the image of the new era Empress, who was about to surpass Wu Zetian!
They took their seats on the bus, this time Wen Yu sat inside, and Fu Chengque sat outside.
She hesitated, “Thank you, Wen Yu.”
Wen Yu smiled, “Thank me for what?”
“Hmph, thank you for serving this Empress well.”
“That’s right, I dare not even move too much.”
“Hehe, actually, thank you for letting me sleep soundly next to you…”
“No big deal, no big deal, want to continue next time?”
“Dream on!”
***
The midterm exams were over, and the parent-teacher conference was still half a month away, so this period was relatively relaxed.
As soon as Fu Chengque arrived at school, she began to gather her group members during break time and distribute various gifts she bought in Nancheng.
“To my left-hand student Lu Min, please accept this~”
Lu Min received a very exquisite hardcover notebook, which was quite valuable.
“To my right-hand student Fang Ling, take a look at this thing!”
Fang Ling received a box of decorative tape for her journal, with various designs full of girlish charm.
“To my dear friend, I bestow upon you the power of nature!”
Xiao Gua received a butterfly specimen bookmark, which shimmered with rainbow hues when held up to the light, very beautiful.
After receiving their gifts, the three of them were full of joy and praised Fu Chengque continuously:
“Thank you, Chengque, it’s thoughtful, it’s the most beautiful notebook I’ve ever seen.”
“Wow, Chengque, how did you know I’ve been into journaling lately, so touched…”
“Such an amazing bookmark, so big, Empress is mighty!”
Fu Chengque looked at their excited faces, satisfied with their respective gifts, and laughed heartily with her hands on her hips.
“Stick with me and there’s more where that came from! Whatever little things you want, just ask!”
