Chapter 516: A Mistake
“No, I went fishing this afternoon, how could I look in the mirror?
It’s strange. Usually there are a lot of people fishing, but today there is not a single one.
If there is nothing, then there is nothing to say. After all, the sun is very strong and it is normal for them not to want to go out.
But it was already late when I came back, and I didn't meet any security guards along the way. I finally met a little girl at the bottom of the building, but she took one look at me and shouted "zombie".
Do you think I am wronged? I was called a zombie. Am I really that ugly?"
Xiang Yichang just wanted to complain to someone about his grievances, but he didn't notice that everyone in front of him was trying to hold back their laughter.
After he finished speaking, someone finally couldn't help himself and handed him the mirror in his pocket: "Hey, take a look at yourself first."
Xiang Yichang didn't understand what was going on, so he opened the mirror and looked at the face covered with pus and sores. He was so frightened that he almost dropped the mirror.
"Oh my god, this, this, is this me?" Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he stared at everyone and asked, "I, I, I, have turned into a zombie? Are you also zombies? Are we the same kind now?"
“Pfft, hahaha~”
"Hey man, you have such a vivid imagination. Not only were we the same kind before, we are the same kind now and will be in the future!"
"Yes, buddy, this world is based on science. You should quickly forget about zombies, which only exist in novels and movies. Don't be poisoned by them again."
"That's right. Just because a little girl screamed out of fear, your perception of yourself has changed? That won't do. You must stand firm!"
Xiang Yichang listened for so long and finally understood something. He asked, "You mean I am still a human and not a zombie?"
Seeing everyone nod, he asked again: "What happened to my face? And why did you become like this? I was only out for three hours, how come the world has changed so much?"
"Well, is this the right time to talk about this? The girl in your arms is still unconscious, why don't you send her to the hospital right away?"
"Oh, yes!" Xiang Yichang glanced at the people gathered in front and asked, "Can you come with me and tell me what happened?"
The guards at the front looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, since we have nothing else to do right now, let's go with you."
So, the group of people supported Fan Yueyue and walked towards the medical team while telling Xiang Yichang about impetigo, which made Xiang Yichang marvel.
"Dude, you've been outside for several hours, didn't you notice that you had a boil on your face?" The man glanced at Xiang Yichang and found that he was well protected. Except for his face, the rest was almost wrapped in cloth.
"What else? If I had discovered it, would I still be so surprised?" Xiang Yichang said, rolling his eyes.
"What about your face? Doesn't it hurt or itch?"
Xiang Yichang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, but it's not very obvious. As you know, there are a lot of mosquitoes near the pond, and it's normal to get a blister from a bite, so I didn't take it seriously."
"Oh, so you didn't meet anyone on the way? If you had met someone and said hello, it wouldn't have been so awkward."
Xiang Yichang was a little embarrassed. "I was afraid that someone would come and ask me for fish, so I took the small road to avoid people."
"Okay, so that's how it is. No wonder you look like you just came back from another world. By the way, where's your fish?"
Xiang Yichang was stunned, "Where's my fish? Ah, I left it at the door of the dormitory and forgot to take it!"
Then he looked at the girl who was supporting him with resentment and said, "It's all her fault. If she hadn't made a fuss, I wouldn't have thrown the fish aside to catch it for her.
There are not only fish, but also my fishing gear. I hope these things won’t be lost when I return?”
"Okay, stop complaining. After all, it was you who frightened the person into unconsciousness, so isn't it your duty to send him to the hospital?
But you don't have to worry too much, our captain is still there and will definitely help you put your things away."
Xiang Yichang nodded, "Okay then, let's go and come back quickly!"
Several people quickened their pace and sent Fan Yueyue to the medical team. After explaining the situation to the doctor, they found that the doctor's eyes were mixed with sympathy and gloating, which was really complicated.
"Okay, leave her here and you can go back. She's fine, just a little frightened. She'll be fine after waking up soon." The doctor smiled.
The others had no objections and nodded, preparing to leave.
Only Xiang Yichang hesitated to speak. After several attempts, he finally made up his mind and asked: "Doctor, can my face be cured? I haven't married yet, I can't disfigure myself!"
The doctor who received them was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know. It's only been a few hours since the outbreak, and there are many things we don't understand yet.
But don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. If you can't cure it, everyone will be like this. No one is better than anyone else, ah!"
Xiang Yichang didn't know whether to cry or not. He knew that everyone was the same, but he just felt that he was ugly!
A buddy who came to the hospital with him poked him. Xiang Yichang turned his head, extremely puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The buddy raised his chin and pointed at Fan Yueyue who was lying on the bed. "The opportunity is right in front of you. It depends on whether you know how to cherish it!"
Xiang Yichang took a look at Fan Yueyue. The girl was pretty. She had an oval face, almond eyes, cherry lips, and fair skin. She was completely in line with his aesthetic standards. But, "Will she agree? I almost scared her."
"That depends on your sincerity. Anyway, everyone has a pimple-like face now, so let's be ugly together. As long as the girl doesn't have a boyfriend, you have a chance."
The man raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile, "You better think it over carefully. There are so many people suffering from impetigo now, and there are not many with clean skin like her. If you don't hurry up, I believe there will be many people who want to take advantage of you."
Xiang Yichang was moved. Although he was not obsessed with looks, he did like good-looking people. Between a woman with normal skin and a woman with pustules, he would definitely choose the former.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do my best. I'll stay here and take good care of her. Thank you, buddy!"
The man smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome. I just like to see people in pairs. It would be a good thing if you could catch up with them."
After saying that, he left without looking back. The others followed and said goodbye to Xiang Yichang.
Xiang Yichang, who stayed in the ward, thought that his spring had finally come, but he did not expect that what would greet him would be the coldest days of winter.
Because, not long after Fan Yueyue woke up, she found that pustules began to appear on her face, arms, and even calves. Her condition was even more serious than Xiang Yichang's.
After learning that she got the impetigo due to sun exposure, Fan Yueyue hated Xiang Yichang to the core.
