After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Insomnia? Nobody believes that!

Fu Yanci suddenly realized that Ye Li was not by his side, and he couldn’t fall asleep!

Even more, he couldn’t remember how he used to fall asleep when he was alone.

The air was filled with the familiar cool sandalwood scent he was used to, but at the end of that fragrance, a light pear blossom aroma hooked him like a lure.

It was as if he was walking alone in a pear forest, with laughter coming from deep within.

Pushing aside branches, he let the snow-white pear blossoms fall rustling down, landing before his eyes, on his shoulders.

But no matter how far he walked forward, he could never catch sight of the person laughing.

His mind was tireless, his legs not heeding his commands, incessantly moving forward.

So much so that his brain was both exhausted and excited.

His body moved bit by bit, resting in the spot where Ye Li usually slept.

Her pillow still held her faint scent of hair.

But Fu Yanci became even more awake.

Huh...

In the darkness, Fu Yanci stared at the pitch-black ceiling above him and let out a long sigh.

In dormitory 619, Ye Li hugged her small self tightly, still unable to stop shivering.

It was unclear if the water heater had been unused for too long and broken, or if there was some other problem, but only cold water came from the showerhead.

As the lights-out time was drawing near and it wasn’t good to knock on the neighboring door, Ye Li made do by boiling a kettle of hot water, mixing it to warm, and wiped herself down with a towel.

When she lay in bed after turning off the lights, Ye Li felt as if her arms and legs didn’t belong to her.

But the instant sleepiness struck her, Ye Li heard a few strange noises.

"Hey..."

Tap tap tap tap!

Bang!

"Hey..."

Tap tap tap tap!

Bang!

It started with a ghostly whisper as if Ah Piao was greeting her from outside the window.

After a long wait without a response, Ah Piao began knocking irritably on the walls.

Then, a bursting sound erupted.

The noises cycled repeatedly, and within the pitch-black room, Ye Li, previously so sleepy her eyes wouldn’t stay open, curled up under her blanket, covering her head and shrinking back.

Ye Li could even hear her own rapid breathing.

She mentally cheered herself on, telling herself there are no ghosts in this world!

But on the other hand, her mind was filled with the various versions of Ah Piao’s shocking appearances from horror movies she had seen.

Ye Li’s emotions were incredibly complex.

[Chu Chu, are you asleep? I can’t sleep; chat with me for a bit!]

She sent a WeChat message to Qin Chu, but there was no response.

Checking the time, it was just 12 o’clock.

At this hour, Qin Chu was either at the bar or racing with others at the car shop.

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Li opened the WeChat conversation with Fu Yanci, [Fu Yanci, are you asleep?]

The man replied instantly, [No. Why aren’t you sleeping this late?]

Inside the covers, Ye Li took a deep breath, [I think... I have insomnia!]

A second after the message was sent, Ye Li wanted to retract it.

Wasn’t that too prone to misunderstanding?

When she was at Lishan Mansion, before Fu Yanci went to bed, she was scared to death.

But once the lights were off, she didn’t even know when she fell asleep.

Insomnia?

She herself wouldn’t believe it!

Was she really having insomnia after returning to her dormitory she slept in for over two years?

Would Fu Yanci think she was hinting at something?

Like, missing his warm embrace so much that she was tossing and turning, unable to sleep?

Ah, she was going to die!

Before Ye Li could retract her message, Fu Yanci replied, [Then shall I pick you up and come home to sleep?]

???

Let’s not talk about there being no need to make such a fuss this late; even if he did come, she wouldn’t be able to leave.

After lights-out, the dormitory building’s door was locked!

Besides, even if she could leave, she couldn’t go back with him, or wouldn’t that prove that her insomnia was because of him?

Clearly that wasn’t the case, right?

[I’m going to sleep, Fu Yanci, good night!]

She sent him that message and put away her phone.

The phone did not light up again.

The strange noises persisted.

"Hey..."

Tap tap tap tap!

Bang!

"One sheep, two sheep, three sheep..."

Muttering the count, Ye Li huddled under the blanket, covering her ears.

As sleepiness struck the next instant, there was a knock knock knock at the door.

???

Almost immediately, the hairs on Ye Li’s body stood on end.
