Chapter 160: Chapter 160: She Must Still Have Me in Her Heart

Shen Zhiyao had only taken a simple look at the young woman’s face and said she’d found her true love, that they would grow old together and have both sons and daughters.

The young woman was delighted to hear this and paid the divination fee without a second thought.

’That’s… considered a good match?’

’What’s the difference between that and some blind fortune teller on a street corner?’

’In fact, are her skills even worse than a blind fortune teller’s?’

’And skills like these can attract over ten million viewers? Don’t these people have anything better to do? If they’re really that bored, they’d be better off coming to my live stream and requesting dances!’

He studied Shen Zhiyao’s face carefully. She was undeniably beautiful—the kind of beauty that would outshine everyone else in the entertainment industry.

’So, people like watching her stream because Shen Zhiyao is pretty, and they want to flirt with her?’

Zhou Ye was indignant. ’These people only judge a book by its cover, completely ignoring inner beauty. How shallow!’

Gazing at Shen Zhiyao’s face on the screen, which seemed both strange and familiar, his mind drifted back to when they dated in high school, to the scenes of her following him around for the sake of love.

The memories made him feel a thrill of excitement.

Zhou Ye had broken up with Shen Zhiyao because he felt that as a second-tier celebrity with some fame, an unworldly woman like her was no longer worthy of him.

But now, Shen Zhiyao’s popularity had surpassed his own, which meant they would soon be standing shoulder to shoulder.

At this thought, Zhou Ye’s excitement surged.

In his mind, Shen Zhiyao was still that lovesick girl who would chase him around like a puppy.

He believed that if he just gave her a little bit of attention, she would come running back, wagging her tail and begging for his affection.

So, Zhou Ye opened Shen Zhiyao’s live stream, preparing to shower her with money and become her top donor, just to prove he’d been there.

He quickly added four thousand yuan to his account. Just as he was debating whether to gift Shen Zhiyao one thousand or spend it all, Shen Zhiyao on the screen waved to her audience.

“Okay, that’s all three readings for today. See you all tomorrow!”

With that, Shen Zhiyao ended the stream in a flash.

Zhou Ye was baffled. “She… she ended the stream already?”

To avoid the cameras, Zhou Ye ducked into the bathroom to call Shen Zhiyao, only to find that she had blocked him on everything.

Zhou Ye figured Shen Zhiyao was still angry with him, but he let it go, remembering how he’d treated her in the past.

He had been a bastard before, but from this day on, Zhou Ye would make it up to Shen Zhiyao. He would make her stand by his side again.

He opened Shen Zhiyao’s Douyin Live Stream and sent her a private message.

The message was a whole essay, mainly reminiscing about the sweet moments of their past relationship and expressing how much he missed her.

Then he sat in his cabin, waiting for Shen Zhiyao’s reply.

What he didn’t expect was that Shen Zhiyao wasn’t looking at her phone at all. Her Douyin DMs already showed 99+ unread messages.

As for Zhou Ye’s emotional essay, it was even less likely she would ever see it.

After Shen Zhiyao ended her stream, it was already 11:30 PM, which was exactly when the show’s production team stopped filming for the day.

The cameras would only be turned on and start recording at nine in the morning.

After the stream, Shen Zhiyao didn’t rest immediately. Instead, she sat in her cabin to meditate and cultivate. Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, and her brow furrowed. “What a pitiful, lovesick fool. Willing to lose her life just to see him.”

If it were an ordinary matter, Shen Zhiyao couldn’t be bothered to interfere.

But that young woman had just graduated from college; her life was just beginning. Shen Zhiyao couldn’t bear to stand by and do nothing.

However, she was currently in the middle of the vast ocean. To save the girl, her only option was to use a Teleportation Array to enter the girl’s dream.

Although creating a Teleportation Array wasn’t difficult for Shen Zhiyao, if someone were to interrupt her midway, severing the dream connection wouldn’t just affect the girl—Shen Zhiyao herself would suffer a backlash.

’This won’t do. I need to find someone to stand guard.’ The first person Shen Zhiyao thought of was Chen Yan.

She opened her cabin door and happened to see Meng Xiaoxiao.

Meng Xiaoxiao was also slightly surprised to see her. “Whoa, what a coincidence, sultry fox. I’m going to the deck for some fresh air. Want to come?”

She added, “Everyone else has gone to bed, so no one’s around! Sultry fox, are you sure you don’t want to come get some air with me?”

Shen Zhiyao almost laughed at her words. “The way you say that, it sounds like there’s something scandalous going on between us.”

But Meng Xiaoxiao retorted playfully, “Well, no one else is here anyway, so what does it matter if I’m a little bold? If you’re not coming, I’ll go on ahead!”

Shen Zhiyao glanced at the crack under Chen Yan’s cabin door. It was completely dark; he must have been asleep.

“Wait!” Shen Zhiyao called out to Meng Xiaoxiao. “I need to create a Teleportation Array to save someone. Can you stand guard for me? You just need to watch the door and make sure no one disturbs me…”

Before she could finish, Meng Xiaoxiao immediately spoke up, “I won’t go in. I’ll just stand at the door. Good luck on your trip, sultry fox.”

Shen Zhiyao asked, puzzled, “You didn’t watch my live stream, figure out I was going out tonight, and wait here to be my guardian, did you…?”

“Leave it to a fox to be so clever!” Meng Xiaoxiao’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she fiddled with her fingers at her neck and shoulder as if her thoughts had been exposed. “Um… I really don’t mean any harm. I just watched your stream, and I had a feeling you would definitely save her, so I waited here to see if you needed anything…”

Shen Zhiyao didn’t understand why Meng Xiaoxiao was trying so hard to get on her good side, but she could tell that her friendly gesture held no ill intent.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you. I’ll be done in half an hour.”

With that, she retreated into her room and closed the door.

Meng Xiaoxiao, meanwhile, stood obediently outside her cabin, her expression serious.

「Miles away, in an urban village.」

Luoluo lay on her bed, once again falling into a dream.

The dream was shrouded in mist, with the surrounding scenery completely veiled in fog.

She walked to the Cao Mansion and pushed the gate open. Inside, the mist was even thicker, obscuring the path before her.

Passing through the mist, she slowly walked toward Cao Lang’s bedroom, but she couldn’t find the right path no matter how she tried.

She couldn’t find anything at all.

Everything felt like a dream, and even Cao Lang seemed ethereal and illusory, as if he had never existed.

Over the past year, she had walked every inch of this place; she was familiar with every corner of the courtyard. But now, she couldn’t find the way to Young Master Cao’s room.

Perhaps it was due to Shen Zhiyao’s guidance, but even in a dream, she could now distinguish what was real from what was fake.

“Luoluo, you’re here…”

“Do you know? When you picked up the Guanyin Statue today and were about to smash me… I was so scared. I thought I would never see you again…”

A clear voice rang out. A man dressed in a vermilion robe and holding a red umbrella was standing behind her.

He swept Luoluo into his arms, and his gentle, clear voice whispered in her ear, “My dear Luoluo, you’re late today…”

He was as gentle as ever, and she couldn’t help but be drawn in.

But soon, her mind cleared. She kept reminding herself, ’This is all a dream.’

She shoved Cao Lang away and demanded, “Who are you really? Why do you keep appearing in my dreams?”

The man gazed at her with infatuation. “I’m your husband, Cao Songci… You said you would go with me. Are you going back on your word? I love you, Luoluo… Come with me…”

He took her hand, his face a mask of grievance.
