Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Having Mr. Song Tell a Fairy Tale
Song Baiyan asked, “Is there a causal relationship between these two sentences?”
“The little fairy said there is, so there is,” Tang Li typed, propped up against her pillow. “No matter what, a man who works diligently is the most attractive!”
Then, Tang Li turned over to lie on her back in bed. “All right, I’m turning off my phone and going to sleep.”
A few minutes passed, and she sent another text message: “Actually, I kind of miss Mr. Song.”
Before long, her cellphone began to vibrate.
It was a call from Song Baiyan.
Tang Li held her cellphone to her ear, and the man’s warm, magnetic voice came through, “It’s already ten o’clock. Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“Just having some trouble sleeping,” Tang Li responded.
“What could possibly be on your mind at your young age that’s keeping you up?”
“…See the message for the answer.”
Mr. Song suggested, “If you can’t sleep, try counting sheep. You might fall asleep while counting.”
“Counting sheep doesn’t work for me.” Tang Li remembered a dream she once had at Yunqi Villa and blurted out reflexively, “I want to read fairy tale stories.”
“In the dead of night, where would you find a fairy tale book to buy?”
“Song Jingtian has some.”
Tang Li reminded, “The library at Tan Palace has a lot of books. When the staff purchased them, they might have included some fairy tales by mistake. Hmm… if I can’t read a book, listening to one isn’t bad either.”
Song Baiyan chuckled at her words, yet he indulged her bedtime wish.
A quarter of an hour later, Song Baiyan found a fairy tale book.
It was a hardcover English original.
“My English listening isn’t very good.”
Hearing her say that, Song Baiyan sat down on the single sofa in the study, under the warm glow of a desk lamp, chose a fairy tale story, turned to the respective page, and began to translate the English text. As for the story, it was “Rapunzel” from Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
The man’s voice was calm, and as Tang Li clutched her cellphone, listening to the line “Rapunzel grew into the most beautiful girl under the heavens, and at the age of twelve, the witch locked her in a high tower,” she couldn’t help jumping in, “Seven years later, a king passed by, rescued her, and eventually they lived happily ever after.”
Tang Li said further, “Continue, please.” Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥
Song Baiyan sighed lightly, mixed with amusement, “The story has already ended; what more is there to tell?”
“You could talk about their married life after.”
As they chatted, Tang Li fell asleep.
Song Baiyan, hearing the breathing from the other end of the phone, waited a good while before he finally hung up, looking at the thick fairy tale book on the coffee table, and inevitably he thought to himself, “Clever little rascal.”
The next morning, Tang Li returned to school.
As the end of the term approached, teachers began to highlight key points for the students.
Tang Li had finished filming “Phoenix Concubine”; if she did not show up for the last class, it would be somewhat indefensible. Thus, she rescheduled her tutoring session with Fu Si and spent the whole day at school.
During the English class, Tang Li saw Jiang Yining.
Unlike Tang Li’s understated attire, Jiang Yining was dressed in a Chanel chiffon dress. When she appeared at the classroom door and took off her sunglasses, that moment sparked a stir inside the classroom.
“Why don’t you, Tang Li, stand up and shout?” Yu Sui leaned over.
Wu Xuehan said softly, “If Ah Li really did that, with her current fame, she wouldn’t make it out of here unscathed today.”
At that moment, a few students entered through the back door of the classroom.
They sat down in front of Tang Li and her friends, discussing among themselves, “Is it true or false? If they really are wealthy people from Las Vegas, why not invest in Hollywood movies? Why bother coming to our school to select a female lead for a film?”
