27 Chapter 27: Damn it
◎Me, your girlfriend?◎
Urged by several alarm clocks in the dormitory, Wu Yahua struggled to open her eyes.
Her throat was slightly sore, as if a razor blade was placed in it. Every time she swallowed, it hurt, and there was a sweet aftertaste of blood.
Based on her experience and intuition, Wu Yahua knew that she was most likely suffering from a viral cold. To avoid infecting her roommates, the first thing she did when she woke up was to put on a mask.
Although she felt very uncomfortable, Wu Yahua still forced herself to get up and get dressed, and with her still strong willpower, she went to her eight morning classes.
Even if she has to return to her original world, she has to study hard and live well in this world, and wait for Wu Yahua from another parallel world to come back, so that the other Wu Yahua can continue to live a normal life.
Don't easily disrupt other people's original rhythm of life, don't be lazy, especially when this other person is another you. In essence, you are doing it for yourself. Wu Yahua showed a tenacity even though he was sick.
She hopes that her life in the parallel world will be brilliant and her future will be bright.
The morning was full of classes, and as soon as the bell rang at noon, Wu Yahua lay down on the table in the classroom, not wanting to move or walk.
"I'll go get you some medicine," Xie Lili said, seeing how pitiful she looked. "I'll also bring you some hot porridge."
Wu Yahua shook her head helplessly. "If you don't have a fever, don't take medicine. The body has its own self-healing ability against viruses. Taking medicine will become a dependency. I need my cells to defeat the virus. You go have lunch. I'll lie down here and rest for a while. When the crowds are gone, I'll go back to the dorm for a nap."
It's early now, 12:05 noon, and most people have left the classroom.
Xie Lili: "Then I'll bring the porridge back to the dormitory, and you can come back and drink it later."
Wu Yahua put her hands on the table, rested her head on her arms, closed her eyes and made an OK gesture.
She didn't want to talk anymore because her throat hurt when she spoke.
"Then I'll be leaving. Remember to rest for a few minutes and then go back to the dormitory. This teaching building is empty, and you're the only one left in this classroom." Xie Lili wanted to continue speaking, but she hesitated and didn't go on.
After Xie Lili left, Wu Yahua opened her eyes and changed the direction of her head, resting it on her arms, from facing the classroom door to facing the window.
The classroom is on the second floor. There are big trees that are decades old planted on the first floor. They grow towards the sun and actively climb upwards. From Wu Yahua's perspective, the trees outside the window are lush and green.
Green is so comfortable to look at, and the representative color of nature carries vitality.
The warm light sprinkled on the leaves and shone through the gaps between them. The light spots fell on Wu Yahua's pale face. The sick Wu Yahua was so comfortable that she half-closed her eyes.
Sunshine is good medicine.
Wu Yahua was unable to open her eyes due to the warm light, so she closed her eyes and enjoyed nature's free sunbath.
While enjoying the tranquility bestowed by nature, several fragments flashed through Wu Yahua's mind. She 'saw' Chen Xi sitting in this classroom, in the last row, staring coldly at her lying on the desk.
Wu Yahua, who was lying in the sun, moved, and the coolness spreading around her body almost eroded the sunlight.
Wu Yahua stood up from her desk and turned around to look at the last row of the classroom.
There is nothing in the last row of the classroom.
Several fragments flashed through her mind. Chen Xi was wearing a gray sweater and a gray pleated skirt, sitting on the desk in the first row. Standing in front of her was Lin Yaonan.
The sunlight outside the window quickly faded, and the classroom became dim. Chen Xi took the initiative to hug Lin Yaonan's neck and gave him her first kiss.
What the hell is that? It's scary.
Wu Yahua turned her head and shifted her gaze from the last row of the classroom to the first row.
There was no one in the front row. Chen Xi was not there, nor was Lin Yaonan. Wu Yahua was the only one in the entire classroom.
What the hell!!!
With such a strange thing happening, it would be stupid for Wu Yahua not to leave. Who knows what terrible things would happen if she stayed any longer.
Wu Yahua didn't even have time to put the notebook on the table into her schoolbag. She took the notebook in one hand and the schoolbag in the other and ran out of the classroom in a panic.
She walked forward with her head down until she bumped into a wall of people and stopped.
"Be careful, you don't even look ahead when you walk."
Wu Yahua was about to retort that she hadn't seen the road, but she wondered if the other party hadn't seen her coming either. When she looked up, she saw that the wall of people she had bumped into was Xie Yun's chest, and she was instantly speechless.
She admitted that she was not paying attention when she walked. If she had been paying attention to the road and saw Xie Yun coming, she would not have been so embarrassed as to bump into Xie Yun.
"Why are you here at this time?" Wu Yahua asked.
It is noon now, and the earliest class starts at 2 pm. During this time, the teaching building is empty. When Xie Yun appeared here, Wu Yahua asked curiously.
Xie Yun: "I just met Xie Lili on the road. She said you were sick and lying in the classroom unable to move, so I came to see you."
Compared to the Xie Lili in the original world, Xie Yun felt that the Xie Lili in this world was more humane and would take the initiative to talk to him.
In the past, Xie Lili would ignore Xie Yun at school. When it came to the point where they had to talk, Xie Lili would just call him classmate Xie.
Xie Yun is older than Xie Lili, and since she doesn't call him brother, he doesn't treat her as a sister either. So they might as well just treat her as a stranger.
"I, I'm fine." Wu Yahua said in response to Xie Yun's greeting, "I don't have a fever for now, but my throat hurts when I swallow saliva."
After lying in the classroom for a while, Wu Yahua's muscles became sore, but there was nothing else unusual.
Wu Yahua took the initiative to distance herself from Xie Yun and took a few steps back. "I'd better try to keep my distance from you. I might be carrying the virus, and if I infect you later, that would be bad."
Wu Yahua took a few steps back, and Xie Yun took a few steps forward.
"Don't worry about infecting me. We agreed at the beginning that we would try to get a fever. After a high fever, we would see if we could return to our original world. If you get sick and have a fever now, and if you can return to your original world after waking up, and I am in good health, then I will be left behind and live in this world with another Wu Yahua."
Wu Yahua felt that what Xie Yun said made sense. They were from the same world. They came together, so they would go back together.
As she spoke, Wu Yahua felt her forehead getting a little hot, so she touched it.
"I feel my forehead is a little hot, I don't know if it's an illusion of fever."
As soon as Wu Yahua put down her hand, Xie Yun's palm touched her smooth and flat forehead.
It was as if a door had opened in his mind, making it clear and bright. The warmth from Xie Yun's palm came over, and the temperature on Wu Yahua's forehead suddenly rose.
Unlike the scenes that flashed through Wu Yahua's mind in the classroom just now, this time the scenes that flashed through his mind were snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and the sea.
The glaciers beneath the snow-capped mountains are melting, forming a stream that flows through a meadow full of wildflowers.
The galloping horse gallops across the endless grassland. As the sun sets, the horse's tail swings towards the afterglow.
The desert is a golden sea, and the sea is a blue desert. The wind blows the golden sand, the tide surges, and a man and a woman holding hands appear in the picture. Xie Yun put down the hand that was touching her forehead.
The beautiful scenery disappeared, and the 'TV' in my mind suddenly lost power and the screen turned black.
"I do have a slight fever," Xie Yun said, "You need to infect me with your illness as soon as possible."
Wu Yahua was so shocked by the scene in her mind that she was speechless. She heard what Xie Yun said, but when she opened her mouth, she only uttered a low "ah".
"What's wrong?" Xie Yun noticed her abnormality and asked, "It feels like your throat is stuck. Your voice is gurgling and your voice is a lot thicker."
Wu Yahua's eyes bulged out of shock. She said to Xie Yun, "How can you say we've arrived in a parallel world? Can you sense or see something as well?"
Xie Yun was stunned by her question. After a few seconds, Xie Yun asked her back, "Do you mean that you sensed or saw something?"
"Yes, I saw something when you touched my forehead."
Xie Yun became interested and asked, "What did you see?"
Wu Yahua described what she saw, not strange people or things, but the scenery, snow-capped mountains, deserts, grasslands and seas.
"Why these?" Xie Yun wondered, "Apart from these scenery, didn't you see anything else?"
"Yes," Wu Yahua recalled. "There were people. In the last scene, there was a man and a woman holding hands."
Xie Yun: "And then?"
"No more. If you put your hand down, it will be gone."
Xie Yun immediately touched Wu Yahua's forehead again, "Did you see their faces?"
"No." Wu Yahua saw nothing and her mind was blank.
"Oh, right." Wu Yahua recalled and said, "Just now, I was lying down in the classroom to rest, and Chen Xi appeared in my mind. She was sitting in the last row of the classroom. I turned around and saw that there was no one in the last row of the classroom. Then my mind flashed that Chen Xi was sitting in the first row of the classroom. Guess what she did."
Xie Yun: "I can't guess, what happened to her?"
"She..." Wu Yahua was about to say something when a voice interrupted her.
Hong Cangkang stood not far away and called out to Xie Yun.
"You said you had something to do, Xie Yun, but it turns out you came to see your girlfriend."
Hearing Xie Yun's friend claim that she was Xie Yun's girlfriend, Wu Yahua's throat felt uncomfortable. She waited for Xie Yun to clarify and deny it, but Xie Yun turned around and said to Hong Cangkang, "Yes."
Xie Yun’s words shocked Wu Yahua greatly. This... I must have heard it right.
Hong Cangkang: "Then you can talk to your girlfriend slowly. I'm leaving first."
"Goodbye." Xie Yun waved to Hong Cangkang.
After bidding Hong Cangkang farewell, Xie Yun turned around and asked Wu Yahua, "Go on, what is Chen Xi doing in the first row of the classroom?"
Wu Yahua was still thinking about Xie Yun admitting to Hong Cangkang that she was his girlfriend. Chen Xi was no longer important and had to stand aside.
"Me." Wu Yahua pointed at himself, then turned his finger and pointed at Xie Yun, "Your girlfriend?"
