I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Heard a Little Bit
The old scholar’s mansion was very remote, separated from the other villagers by a large lotus pond. Coupled with the incessant wind and rain, it was really hard to hear what was happening in the village.

If Bai Youwei hadn’t pointed it out, Shen Mo would not have noticed, hidden among the patter of the rain was the distorted sound of a woman singing opera.

Just as they expressed their confusion, the door next to them opened, and Fu Miaoxue dragged Du Lai out, complaining, “There’s clearly a sound, a very loud sound, how can you not hear it!…”

Seeing Shen Mo standing under the eaves, she paused, “Did you hear it too?”

Shen Mo replied, “Weiwei heard it, I only noticed after I opened the door.”

Hearing this, Du Lai listened intently again, and finally managed to catch the semblance of a tune amidst the chilling wind.

“I can only hear a little too.” Du Lai said, his face serious, putting away his nonchalant demeanor and looking seriously at Shen Mo and Bai Youwei, “It seems like the corpse carrier woman has emerged, but I don’t know why, her voice seems to only affect women. Maybe the key to the game lies with the women.”

Shen Mo thought for a moment, then said, “I’ll go and check it, you stay and look after them.”

Du Lai frowned, promptly stipulating, “Just so we’re clear, this mansion isn’t safe either. If anything happens, I can only take care of Miaoxue at most. I can’t handle another person.”

Shen Mo thought to himself, Bai Youwei doesn’t need your protection.

But considering they had just allied themselves, there was no need to be constantly competitive, occasionally showing weakness was also necessary.

He said coolly, “Then I will stay, you go and check the situation.”

“I don’t want to be separated from my boyfriend!” Fu Miaoxue clung to Du Lai’s arm.

Bai Youwei rolled her eyes, “Then the two of you can go together~”

Fu Miaoxue snorted, “Why should we? Why don’t you go with your boyfriend?!”

Bai Youwei, originally quite angry, felt a sudden shift in her mood at the mention of “boyfriend”. She couldn’t rouse her anger and even found Fu Miaoxue somewhat cute.

Boyfriend…

She glanced at Shen Mo at her side, realizing that she now also had a boyfriend!

Meanwhile, Fu Miaoxue was still clinging to Du Lai obstinately.

Du Lai, always patient attempted to reason, “Right now, the singing of the corpse carrier woman can only be clearly heard by the two of you, so the voice might have an effect on women, so both of you must stay. I’ll go alone, I’ll be back soon.”

Fu Miaoxue asked, “How soon is soon?”

“20 minutes.” Du Lai said.

Fu Miaoxue turned her head in refusal, “No! That’s too long! I give you 20 seconds, you have to be back in 20 seconds!”

Bai Youwei and Shen Mo: “…”

20 seconds? Is that even humanly possible?

But Du Lai, as if having seen everything, calmly haggled, “How about 15 minutes? 20 seconds is too short.”

“15 minutes and you call that ‘coming back soon’? Why don’t you say you’ll come back slowly then? Can 15 minutes be called soon?!” Fu Miaoxue was indignant. “40 seconds! Not a second more!”

Bai Youwei: “Pff…..”

She wanted to laugh, but held it in…..

After contemplating for a bit, Du Lai said, “10 minutes then. I’ll run over, check what’s going on and come back immediately.”

“No, no, absolutely not!” Fu Miaoxue angrily stated, “The most I can give you is 6…”

“6 minutes, right?” Du Lai interrupted her, leaned in to quickly plant a kiss on her face and said, “I’ll be back in 6 minutes, off I go~”

Before Fu Miaoxue could react, Du Lai quickly ran out. To save time, he didn’t even take the corridor, but climbed straight over the wall and jumped out!

He had a skill in climbing walls, springing high, thrusting his hands onto the edge of the brick wall, and then pushing himself up with his legs, he vaulted over the wall with finesse.

Bai Youwei was shocked, “Did your boyfriend train in Qinggong?”

His technique was merely superb.

Fu Miaoxue raised her chin proudly: “Hmph, my boyfriend is naturally awesome~”

Her face then turned grim once more, she stared at the wall Du Lai had scaled over, murmuring, “I clearly wanted to say 60 seconds…..”
