Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Alert

Because she had something on her mind, she got up half an hour earlier than usual.

As soon as she finished tidying up, she heard noises from the courtyard next door.

She went out immediately. "Liu Chenglin, I have something I need to tell you."

Seeing her like this, Liu Chenglin guessed she must have known he wasn’t there last night. "Come in and talk."

As soon as Yunyi entered the courtyard, she stopped. "Can you get in touch with Comrade Huo? I have something important to tell him."

Last night, she had suddenly thought of something very important, and her first thought was of Huo Jingrui. Perhaps, deep down, she acknowledged the name Jingrui more. She hoped it wasn’t too late.

Liu Chenglin could see her urgency. "Wait a moment, I’ll go find him right away."

They had searched the mountain all night but hadn’t found the person. Having just come down, the main group, aside from a team left on guard, returned to their temporary quarters in town. They needed to rest and prepare for the arrival of experts dispatched from higher up.

When Liu Chenglin caught up with Huo Jingrui, Huo Jingrui was a bit puzzled. "What is it?"

Liu Chenglin whispered into his ear, "Chu Zhiqing has something urgent for you."

As soon as Huo Jingrui heard it was Chu Zhiqing looking for him, he grew anxious. "What happened?"

Liu Chenglin shook his head. "She didn’t say, only that it’s very important."

Huo Jingrui had the others taken back, then he followed Liu Chenglin along the perimeter path back to Liu Chenglin’s residence.

Yunyi had been waiting all along. Upon hearing movement, she immediately opened the courtyard door.

Huo Jingrui scanned the surroundings to ensure no one was paying attention, then directly entered Yunyi’s courtyard. Suppressing an inexplicable flutter in his heart, he asked, "Chu Zhiqing, you were looking for me?"

Yunyi nodded. "Yes, it’s very important."

While she spoke, she glanced at Liu Chenglin.

Liu Chenglin quickly understood. "I’ll go to the private plot and keep watch."

Yunyi didn’t beat around the bush and recounted the events involving the brigade leader from the night before.

Huo Jingrui hadn’t expected this girl to stumble upon such crucial information by chance. Concerned for her safety, he said, "This discovery is very important for us. However, Chu Zhiqing, you must prioritize your own safety in the future."

Yunyi truly didn’t know how to say it. After all, if she spoke of things that hadn’t happened, people might think she was mentally ill. Yet, she couldn’t overcome the unease in her conscience by staying silent. "Comrade Huo," she began, "I’ve had the same dream for several days in a row. The dream feels very real, and it’s making me extremely anxious."

Huo Jingrui was at a loss for words. Seeing her solemn expression, he couldn’t bring himself to casually tell her that dreams are often the opposite of reality and that she shouldn’t worry.
