Chapter 23: No Way Back



After being sad for a while, Lin Xuanjiao shifted her attention to the soles of her injured feet. The most important thing now was this pair of severely injured feet, which was really painful.

After rummaging through the medicine box, I found a bottle of medicine powder. It seemed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. I sprinkled the powder evenly on the abraded wound, then wrapped it with gauze and tied it with a cloth strip to prevent the gauze from falling off. I did the same with the other foot.

After treating the wound, Lin Xuanjiao put the medicine box back to its original place, locked the three open wooden boxes, and finally went back to bed.

In fact, Lin Xuanjiao just wanted to lie down and rest, but she didn’t know if it was because too many things happened that day, which made her a little exhausted. She lay on the bed and fell asleep in a short while after touching the pillow.

Even when she fell asleep, Lin Xuanjiao's brows were still furrowed in anxiety.

Lin Xuanjiao looked at the familiar furnishings around her and almost burst into tears. Wasn't this her villa? There was no mistake. She had lived here for eighteen years and there was no way she would mistake it. So she was finally back. Everything that had happened before was just a dream!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuanjiao couldn't wait to run out of the bedroom, wanting to see her family and tell them about her nightmare about the cake. That nightmare was really terrible.

However, when Lin Xuanjiao ran out of the bedroom and went downstairs, she saw a horrifying scene. She saw another self skillfully acting coquettishly to her parents in the living room. If she hadn't been standing by and watching, she would have thought that person was herself.

Lin Xuanjiao watched all this with her eyes wide open, and then she rushed forward quickly as if she had gone crazy, trying to divert her parents' attention to herself, but her body passed through her parents' bodies.

Lin Xuanjiao stared at her hands blankly. Why, why did it happen like this? They let her come back, but why didn't they let her touch her parents? What happened? Why did it turn out like this? She clearly had family members who loved her, a warm home, and she had never done anything bad. Why did they treat her like this?

The emotional breakdown happened in an instant. For the first time, Lin Xuanjiao didn't care about her image. She couldn't control her body and collapsed to the ground powerlessly. She held her head and cried bitterly. She didn't know why she was sad. It was just that there were too many reasons for her sadness, and all of them piled together made her unable to bear it.

But no one could hear her crying. She was like a one-man show. No one cared about her or paid attention to her. Her parents, who usually looked at her with gentle and doting eyes, were now looking at another self.

After Lin Xuanjiao vented her emotions, she stared blankly at the various details of the interaction between herself and her family.

She didn't know how many days this had lasted. During this time, she saw her family and friends getting along well with this new self. That person had a similar face and personality to hers, so couldn't they see it?

Lin Xuanjiao has gradually adapted to the situation after her initial breakdown. Now no matter what she does, these people in front of her can't see it. She will definitely feel sad, but she has become numb.

Following the person in front of her back to the bedroom, this was the first time in the past few days that Lin Xuanjiao was alone with this person. Before, she had a strong resistance to this person, thinking that this person had occupied her body, but now her heart has gradually calmed down, and she felt that she must know what was going on with this person.

After closing the door, the man casually fell on the bed and even rolled over a few times. Lin Xuanjiao looked at the scene with disgust. She really couldn't accept that this person who was almost exactly like her would do such a stupid thing.

The man rolled contentedly for a few rounds before stopping and muttering to himself, "I wonder if the Lin Xuanjiao of this world will return to my previous world after I came to this world. If so, I hope that Lin Xuanjiao will treat my family well and not make them sad. Just because I'm trying so hard to play her, she'll play me well!"

Lin Xuanjiao, who was listening nearby, widened her eyes again. This Lin Xuanjiao before her was the Lin Xuanjiao of the 1970s, but wasn't that a book? How could the characters in the book still appear?

Before Lin Xuanjiao could finish her surprise, the person in front of her started muttering again, "Wouldn't it seem like I'm being ungrateful when I say this? After all, this world is so much better than my previous one, but I didn't come here on my own accord! I don't know why I woke up here, and I miss my family too! I wonder how they're doing now."

Lin Xuanjiao fell silent after hearing this. She knew that she shouldn't vent her resentment on a poor person who had the same experience as her, but she just couldn't help it. She knew it was wrong to do so, but she still couldn't accept others being intimate with her family. That scene deeply stimulated Lin Xuanjiao.

But what's the point? The person in front of her is also like her, and she may never see her family again. At least she still knows how to play herself to please her family. This is better than her family being sad and upset when she is gone. No one in the family can suffer anymore. She is enough alone.

After understanding all this, the resentment in Lin Xuanjiao's eyes dissipated a lot. She looked at her other self, who was almost a replica of her, and said softly, "I will take good care of your family, and I hope you can take good care of mine."

Lin Xuanjiao, who was muttering to herself on the bed, sat up suddenly when she heard these words. Why did she feel like someone was talking just now, or did she hear it wrongly?

He looked towards the source of the voice suspiciously, and then "Lin Xuanjiao"'s eyes widened, pointing at Lin Xuanjiao, trembling non-stop, "You, who are you, why did you suddenly appear here?"

Lin Xuanjiao was a little surprised. Could she see herself? Seeing her so frightened, Lin Xuanjiao found it a little amusing. She walked up to "Lin Xuanjiao" and said, "I'm the Lin Xuanjiao of this world. You're the Lin Xuanjiao who went to the countryside, right?"

"Lin Xuanjiao" looked at Lin Xuanjiao in surprise, her voice trembling: "Yes, I didn't mean to impersonate you, and I don't know why I'm here. Now that you're here, can I go back?"

After hearing the person's answer, Lin Xuanjiao was silent for a moment before she slowly said, "I'm afraid we can't change back. I've been here for a long time, and no one has noticed me, and I haven't found a way to change back."
