Chapter 271 Have an Illusion

Gu Baisheng suddenly woke up at midnight.

The person next to her moved slightly.

Gu Baisheng was too sleepy to remember that she slept over at Hu Hui's place.

She thought the person next to her was Song Shuang, so she turned around to look at him.

But she suddenly saw a very strange but also very familiar face.

It was not Song Shuang.

It was another man.

"Ah!"

Gu Baisheng's shriek suddenly sounded in the room.

This sudden shriek woke up Hu Hui who was in the main bedroom. And she put on her clothes in a hurry and knocked on the door, "Shengsheng, what happened?"

Hu Hui realized that the door was not locked after knocking on it, and then she pushed open the door.

Gu Baisheng fell off the bed because she was too scared.

Qu Xiaobo looked at Gu Baisheng confusedly, "What's going on?"

Gu Baisheng looked very pale.

Hu Hui suddenly walked to Gu Baisheng and held her up, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Gu Baisheng still looked scared when she was held by Hu Hui.

Qu Xiaobo didn't know what happened and explained to Hu Hui, "I don't know what happened to her. I was woken by her shriek, too."

Qu Xiaobo got off the bed immediately, kneeled next to Gu Baisheng, and shook her body gently, "Shengsheng?"

Gu Baisheng was still not quite herself.

She seemed to see something scary because she was still shaking.

"Look at me, Shengsheng."

Qu Xiaobo was worried about her, so she grabbed her shoulders to let her look into her eyes.

Gu Baisheng was forced to turn around and look at Qu Xiaobo.

She was very familiar with Qu Xiaobo's face.

But her face suddenly turned into someone else's.

It was a man's face.

She knew that it was an illusion, but when she just woke up, it seemed to be too true to be an illusion.

Gu Baisheng gradually saw everything in front of her.

She fully recognized that it was Qu Xiaobo's face. It was her best friend.

It was not a man's face.

"What happened?"

Qu Xiaobo saw that Gu Baisheng didn't look well, so she suspected that she had a nightmare, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Gu Baisheng nodded half-heartedly.

"What's the nightmare about?"

Hu Hui was worried and started to ask.

Gu Baisheng pressed her lip and looked up at Hu Hui.

But she swallowed up what she wanted to say when her eyes met Hu Hui's concerned eyes.

"I can't remember it."

"You can't remember it?"

Hu Hui questioned, "Was it a nightmare?"

"Yeah."

Gu Baisheng nodded.

That man's face in her mind stuck in her mind.

That young man's face was very familiar.

He seemed to be the man in a green uniform in the gala.

But why would she meet him?

And that man didn't show up at the gala, did he?

The person who wore green clothes in that video was a lady.

Gu Baisheng pressed her lip and couldn't understand why she had such an illusion.

"Did you hurt yourself when you fell off your bed?"

Qu Xiaobo realized that she couldn't recall her dream, so she wanted to make sure that Gu Baisheng didn't hurt herself.

Gu Baisheng's belly was a bit uncomfortable.

But she thought it was too trivial to pay attention to. She didn’t tell them.

She answered, "I'm fine."

"Really?"

Qu Xiaobo was a bit worried.

Gu Baisheng smiled, "Of course. How could I hurt myself by falling off the bed? I'm fine."

Hu Hui and Qu Xiaobo held Gu Baisheng back in her bed.

Although Gu Baisheng didn't show her fear, she was still thinking about that man's face when Qu Xiaobo poured her some water.

She couldn't help staring at Qu Xiaobo when she was thinking about that face.

Qu Xiaobo noticed that Gu Baisheng was staring at her after she turned around.

She suddenly felt a bit insecure. But she still passed the water to her, "It helps you to calm down."

"Thank you."

Gu Baisheng took over the water.

She turned around to look at Hu Hui, "I'm fine, Auntie Hu. I'm so sorry that I interrupted your sleep. Please have a rest."

Hu Hui realized how polite Gu Baisheng was, so she answered, "Don't worry. I'm not sleepy."

She wanted to know what made Gu Baisheng scream in her dream.

But Gu Baisheng remained silent about it.

Hu Hui couldn't force Gu Baisheng to tell it. She noticed that she refused to answer anything about the dream even if Qu Xiaobo asked her a few times, so she sighed, "Shengsheng, go to sleep now. Call me if you need me."

Gu Baisheng nodded, "Have a sweet dream, Auntie Hu."

"Thank you! You, too!"

Hu Hui glanced at Qu Xiaobo and walked out of the room.

Qu Xiaobo was a very observant person and she saw the looks that Hu Hui made to her.

Hu Hui wanted her to find out about Gu Baisheng's dream.

But it seemed to be very unlikely to get anything out of Gu Baisheng.

After all, Gu Baisheng was not stupid and knew what couldn't be shared.

Hu Hui couldn't get the answer from her no matter how many times she asked.

It was better to leave and let Qu Xiaobo, Gu Baisheng’s best friend, gradually get the answer.

Qu Xiaobo understood it.

After Hu Hui left, she asked Gu Baisheng, "Did you dream about something bad?"

"It's impossible to dream about something good in a nightmare."

Gu Baisheng twitched her lips palely.

"Who did you dream about?"

Qu Xiaobo still wanted to ask who made her so scared in her dream.

Gu Baisheng shook her head and didn't want to share it.

Qu Xiaobo knew her so well and could tell how much the dream influenced her.

She suggested, "Are you too stressed lately? Maybe that's why you had a nightmare?"

Gu Baisheng didn't know it herself.

Qu Xiaobo continued, "It seems that you're very stressed. Maybe you can have a session with the therapist tomorrow too?"

Gu Baisheng couldn't help smiling, "I'm not stressed."

"Then why did you have a nightmare?"

"Having dreams is normal. Dreams are either good or bad. It's not surprising to be scared by a bad dream."

"But you look..."

Qu Xiaobo still felt that it was better for Gu Baisheng to see the therapist, too.

Gu Baisheng shook her head smilingly, "Don't try to persuade me."

"Seeing doctors is good for your health."

Qu Xiaobo continued.

Gu Baisheng smiled, "I understand. But it's not necessary to see a therapist solely because I had a nightmare. I'll be fine after a good rest."

Qu Xiaobo realized that Gu Baisheng was firm.

She had no choice but to give up the idea to persuade Gu Baisheng to see the therapist.

Gu Baisheng knew that she woke Qu Xiaobo up.

Now she was awake and said, "It's late now. Go to sleep."

"You haven't told me..."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Gu Baisheng lay down.

Qu Xiaobo lay down with her and turned off the light after seeing Gu Baisheng do so.

Qu Xiaobo was a bit worried after turning off the light. So she reached out to hold Gu Baisheng's fingers.

Gu Baisheng felt it strange to be held by her, "What's going on?"

"You won't feel scared if I hold your hand."

Qu Xiaobo answered seriously.

It made Gu Baisheng embarrassed.

Only children would believe it.

But Qu Xiaobo believed it.

Qu Xiaobo added, "You used to take care of me like this when I had nightmares."

Gu Baisheng couldn't help smiling on hearing it, "You still remember it after so long?"

"I can never forget anything about you and Zhang Kai no matter how long it passes."

Qu Xiaobo talked about Zhang Kai again.

Gu Baisheng thought about her trying to stop her from going to Gui Town when she mentioned Zhang Kai.

"Don't forget that we need to see the therapist tomorrow."

"I won't."

Qu Xiaobo remembered her schedule very well.

After saying so, Gu Baisheng added, "I want to go to dinner with you after seeing the therapist."

"Having dinner?"

"With whom?"

"Song Shuang will join us, too."

"Unfortunately, Zhang Kai's not here. If he can join us, we can enjoy a good time together."

Qu Xiaobo talked about Zhang Kai again.

She was a bit upset because she couldn't reach him.

"I'll go to Gui Town with you after seeing the therapist."

"OK."

Qu Xiaobo nodded.

Then she asked, "Why did Song Shuang suddenly want to have dinner with us?"

"He wants to celebrate the new year with us."

Gu Baisheng didn’t dare to tell Qu Xiaobo that Mo Shaoyan invited them to dinner.

She knew that Qu Xiaobo wouldn't go if she found out the truth.

After all, Qu Xiaobo had a very bad impression of Mo Shaoyan.

But as long as Mo Shaoyan was willing to apologize to Qu Xiaobo, they could solve their problem.

"Go to bed now! Tomorrow's a busy day. You need to be energetic."

Gu Baisheng rushed Qu Xiaobo to go to sleep.

Qu Xiaobo nodded and closed her eyes.

Gu Baisheng felt a bit worried after closing her eyes.

Zhang Kai was acting weirdly.

She found it strange.

But she couldn't tell her feeling to Qu Xiaobo.

So, she had to stop Qu Xiaobo now. She would let Qu Xiaobo go to Gui Town only after asking someone to go there first.

But she couldn't stop her for long.

Qu Xiaobo would definitely go to Gui Town soon.

So, she needed to ask Song Shuang if he could go to Gui Town first tomorrow.
