Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Opening the Tomb Door, Verifying Bai Chuwei’s Words

Professor Ge held the boxed meal and muttered, "Has Bai Chuwei... Bai Chuwei had dinner yet?"

Senior Zhou Nan quickly shook his head, "No, she hasn’t come out of her dorm to eat."

Could it be that the people from the Archaeology Department at Imperial University... are they possessed?

Professor Ge, annoyed, harrumphed, "If she won’t eat, we’ll eat. Let’s hurry and have dinner so we can rest early. We’ll open the tomb doors tomorrow!"

What exactly is this tomb? Tomorrow, once the doors are open and the artifacts unearthed, everything will become clear!

The lights were on in the dormitory, and Bai Chuwei was leisurely trifling with the herbs on her desk, while Xue Qiu lay beside her, staring with its big sapphire-blue eyes at Bai Chuwei’s movements.

Xue Qiu chattered in complaint, ’Old ancestor, they don’t believe in you, so why bother with their wellbeing?’

These despicable youngsters have no manners at all!

If the old ancestor doesn’t go to the cafeteria to eat, don’t they know to bring food to the old ancestor’s dorm?

Don’t the younger generation know they should take care of the old ancestor?

The old ancestor might be fasting and not need to eat, but it, Xue Qiu, needs to! It could eat everything on behalf of the old ancestor.

As a result... not a single person from the archaeological site brought over any food, causing it to now have a growling stomach.

Without lifting her head, Bai Chuwei said carelessly, "They’re just a bunch of kids, no need to take it to heart."

So what if they’re gray-haired archaeological experts? To the old ancestor, they’re all just kids.

The old ancestor has always been tolerant of children. She could even put up with a jumping kid like Bai Yinyin for so long, let alone these expert kids.

Xue Qiu lay pitifully on the desk, but it was hungry...

Bai Chuwei said calmly, "Don’t worry, someone will bring you food soon."

No sooner had Bai Chuwei finished speaking than a series of knocks echoed from the dormitory door.

Xue Qiu’s eyes immediately lit up, and it rushed to open the door.

Outside stood a handsome youth, carrying an exquisite meal box and said sheepishly, "Im... Immortal Teacher, hello. My family asked me to deliver this dinner for you."

Xue Qiu looked at the steaming food inside the meal box, its eyes nearly popping out!

Bai Chuwei glanced sideways and asked with a smile, "You’re He Feng, aren’t you?"

This lad might not be the next successor like He Nana, but his name was personally sought for him by Old Lady He Sulan from the old ancestor.

The youth looked at Bai Chuwei in shock. She knew... his name?

He Feng set down the dinner and left the door in a daze.

Not far from the staff dormitory, a group of his friends crowded around, bombarding him with questions as soon as he appeared.

Still in a daze, He Feng suddenly said, "Could it be that Bai Chuwei has really taken a liking to me?"

Not only had she openly declared she was accepting of a younger boyfriend, but now she even knew his name!

Could she have asked the school teachers specially about his name?

Otherwise, how would she know his name?

Could he... could he actually have a chance at romance?!!

Early the next morning, as dawn barely broke, the sonorous recitation from the Yinhua High School could be faintly heard.

It was said that Professor Sun had spent the entire night with a few interns poring over the state records and county annals, and now, unable to hold up, he was fast asleep on his desk.

In such a situation, Professor Ge didn’t have the heart to wake up the exhausted Professor Sun to work together.

Bai Chuwei stepped out of her dorm and saw the other archaeological experts standing with some disciples in front of the large pit, with equipment like cranes behind them.

Everyone looked at Bai Chuwei, who appeared fresh and rejuvenated, and their mouths twitched fiercely.

This girl really seemed to be on vacation; while Imperial University’s Professor Sun and others were so tired they collapsed and fell asleep at their desks, Bai Chuwei looked as if she had slept her fill.

Bai Chuwei, you might as well go back to your hometown for the winter break!

With a displeased mood, Professor Ge’s cold gaze swept over Bai Chuwei and he said indifferently, "Arrange the crane, we’re getting ready to open the tomb doors."

Bai Chuwei frowned, "Oh? Just going to open the tomb doors like that? Do you all have a death wish and not intend to see the New Year?"

If old Ge dies, who’s going to live-stream eating dirt for me?

Everyone present turned green with anger at her insolence. Never before had they seen someone speak so rudely!

Not a single good word comes out of her mouth!
