After exiting the WeChat chat, Wu Yue got up from the sofa and picked up a book to read.

I had only read three or five pages when my phone buzzed with WeChat.

Wu Yue clicked to see, and it was her cheap older brother.

Cheap Brother: Director Ji, the director you were on that variety show last time, he's recently started preparing to film a TV series and wants you to support one of the rich heiresses, the second female lead, with quite a few scenes. Want to come?

Director Ji?

Wu Yue had a good impression of Director Ji.

I got the leg accessory: Please thank Director Ji for me. I have no plans to enter the entertainment industry. Besides, I'm in school now and don't have time.

Brother (Cheap): Oh right, you're a senior this semester, study hard! If you need money, just tell your brother. I'll reply to Director Ji right now and decline his offer for you.

I got the leg accessory: OK.

She switched the screen, sat up straight, and continued reading. Around 10:30, she finished reading, moved to bed, and tried to fall asleep.

She had initially considered starting a live stream, but quickly dismissed the idea.

Just then, Cuihua returned from playing cards next door, carefully lifted a corner of the quilt, and slipped into bed.

Wu Yue noticed the slightest movement and opened her eyes. "Cuihua?"

Immediately afterwards, she felt the paper sticking to her arm.

The girl closed her eyes, a smile playing on her lips, and whispered, "Go to sleep. Goodnight."

Two hours later, at 12:30 a.m.

Wu Yue opened her eyes, showing no sign of sleepiness, but rather full of energy.

"Ah!" She sat up abruptly in bed, looked up at the ceiling, head held high, looking utterly hopeless. "What's wrong? I haven't been on my phone, so why can't I fall asleep? I have class tomorrow... No, I need to get some sleep."

Wu Yue crawled back into bed, closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled.

Two more hours passed, and it was 2:30 a.m.

"Ah ah."

She sat bolt upright in bed again, her eyes glazed over: "What's wrong with me today? Why can't I fall asleep?"

Wu Yue looked around the room several times but didn't find any non-human creatures that would frighten her. She felt neither unwell nor agitated, so why couldn't she fall asleep?

After a two-second silence, Wu Yue struggled to climb out of bed.

She took a coat from the closet and wrapped it over her pajamas. Then she went next door.

Cuihua sensed something was wrong and followed her eagerly.

Next door, three mythical beasts were snoring loudly, each pressing down on the other, creating a chaotic yet harmonious scene.

The three divine beasts, suddenly awakened, were completely bewildered. With sleepy eyes, they stared at Wu Yue with blurry vision.

"Little Wuyue, we beasts need to sleep too, I'm so sleepy. Why aren't you asleep yet? Don't you have class tomorrow?" Lu Shu yawned repeatedly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Wu Yue said with a sigh, "I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me today. I can't sleep at all. I'm feeling very energetic right now."

After a pause, she suggested, "How about you play with me for a while?"

Two cubs were still clinging to Lu Shu, and all the girls' eyes were on him. Heaven knows how much pressure he was under.

He would have been willing at any other time, but this was the perfect time to meet with the Lord of Dreams. How could he let himself lose sleep over indulging in playthings?

Therefore, she decisively shook her head: "No, no, Little Wuyue, why don't you go play somewhere else? Or, you can take out your 53 practice books."

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow. "You are my beasts. I can't sleep, and you have the nerve to sleep so soundly?"

Lu Shu raised his hand and touched his conscience, "Of course I'm embarrassed."

"..."

Wu Yue paused, feeling a little heartbroken. If she could, she would prefer to go for a walk, but... she was afraid of running into her friends who were out at night.

never mind.

The girl went back to her room and crawled back into bed.

...

As dawn broke, the sky turned white, like the foam of rolling waves, coated with a pale orange glow of the morning sun.

Wu Yue finally felt sleepy. "My dear Cuihua, go to class for me today."

The girl mumbled sleepily, her index finger tracing Cuihua's forehead, and gently tapped it: "Now you can talk."

Cuihua thought to herself.

That being said, it's probably better for her to do more and say less.
