Lin Xi was shocked. "You think too highly of me. If you go any faster, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."
The school doctor stopped what he was doing, and the sound of the pen hitting the table made Lin Xi inexplicably flinch.
She smiled gently. "But you don't feel uncomfortable at all, right?"
Lin Xi looked shocked. "How did you know?"
If she hadn't pointed it out, she probably wouldn't have even noticed this unusual thing!
"Relax, it's normal. It means your physical condition is getting better and better."
Lin Xi walked out of the infirmary with doubt in her heart, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Why? There are so many illogical things...
Am I really being too paranoid?
That evening, my headache, which I hadn't had in a long time, returned.
The next morning during self-study, Lin Xi asked for leave and went to the school clinic again.
The nurse at the school clinic put a pill in her palm and then brought her a glass of water.
Lin Xi took it and swallowed it in one gulp. Unlike the bland taste of the food, this medicine was incredibly bitter.
Her little face scrunched up, she looked like she was about to convulse from the pain.
Such a tiny pill, yet it has such great power!
Damn, it still has staying power.
Lin Xisheng felt utterly hopeless, and after recovering, he simply stared blankly into space.
The college entrance exam is almost here, and this kind of thing has gone wrong.
"Lin Xi, do you think it's better to be a human or a monster?"
A soft, childlike voice rang out, and Lin Xi turned her head, somewhat puzzled by the question.
"That's a strange statement. Besides, there are no monsters in this world, so what's the point of this choice?"
"What if, in this world, there were beings similar to monsters who could assimilate humans into monsters? Do you think the assimilated humans should submit to their fate, or try to find ways to avoid being assimilated?"
Are you reading any fantasy novels?
The school doctor nodded, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Hmm, the protagonist of this novel is in this situation. What do you think she should choose?"
"Why are we suddenly talking about this? I feel dizzy..." Lin Xi subconsciously avoided the topic.
"Would you like to take another pill?"
Lin Xixiu straightened up abruptly, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "That's strange, how did you suddenly get better all of a sudden?"
The school doctor's eyes were like bright stars in the night, and Lin Xi instantly relaxed.
She lowered her head and stammered, "If there's a way to avoid assimilation, why not?"
The school doctor smiled knowingly. "So that's what you've always thought?"
Lin Xi frowned. This was the first time she had heard this story, and it seemed like this was the first time she had ever said these words either.
What does it mean to say "I've always thought this way"?
"Thank you. My headache is much better after taking the medicine. I have to go back to my morning self-study session. I still have a memorization assignment to do today."
Lin Xi pushed open the door to the school clinic.
The school nurse's gaze never left her until her figure completely disappeared behind the door.
"If she wants to change back, why is her body still subconsciously resisting? It's really strange." She muttered to herself, picking up the medicine she had just given Lin Xi again.
The word "spirit" appeared vaguely on the box.
The school doctor's smile faded, and his expression became particularly grave.
"Since this is your choice, I will make the decision for you this time."
She looked at the medicine in her hand again, then put it back in the drawer.
Lin Xi has returned to the classroom.
Although her deskmate was not motivated in her studies, she showed great interest in everything outside of academics.
"Chinese Traditional Martial Arts Competition?"
Lin Xi read out the title of a magazine cover on her desk.
No, this isn't a magazine, it's a profile of a person.
Her deskmate, looking panicked, reached out and covered her mouth. "My God! Are you crazy? Are you trying to kill me? It's Miss Zhang's class later."
Lin Xi smiled, slowly covering her mouth with her right hand, looking apologetic.
Miss Zhang is actually not very old, and she is not even very robust; on the contrary, she is a slender beauty.
But Lin Xi's class was terrified of Zhang.
She was extremely ruthless; if they made even the smallest mistake, she would punish them without hesitation.
Moreover, she especially likes to catch students who are inattentive in class, like her deskmate.
When the bell rang, Miss Zhang walked in.
Looking at the somewhat familiar face, but being absolutely certain it wasn't Miss Zhang's, Lin Xi turned to her deskmate and asked, "Did we get a new English teacher?"
"No, isn't this Miss Zhang? Are you having another attack of your pain?" Her deskmate looked at her with concern.
Throughout the lesson, Lin Xi was distracted, biting her pen, but her gaze never left the woman in front of her.
She remembered that her English teacher wasn't much taller than her, but the woman in front of her was at least 165cm tall.
Moreover, she was even more domineering, an aura that didn't resemble that of a teacher but rather that of an assassin.
Miss Zhang, who was walking around the classroom, suddenly turned around.
Her eyes shone with a frightening intensity, like those of a hungry, venomous snake as she met Lin Xi's gaze.
Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat.
In the last moment before she hurriedly looked away, she saw Miss open her mouth and move it, but no sound came out.
F?
What did she say?
It looks like a word.
She hesitated for a while, but still couldn't come up with a concrete answer.
She looked down at the test paper on the table.
The obscure and difficult-to-understand English words were twisted and contorted, and she was startled, looking up again.
Miss Zhang has returned to the person she used to know.
What exactly happened to me just now?
She breathed a sigh of relief.
I forced myself to calm down and just got into the zone to work on the problems when the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
"Wow, even good students hand in blank papers?" My deskmate asked in surprise.
Lin Xi folded the test paper and continued working on the questions. "Don't worry, I'll finish it before we go over the questions."
Her deskmate immediately pulled out the book she had just hidden.
Before long, she exclaimed with a lovestruck expression, "Wow, I never expected that there would be such a young and handsome man among the inheritors of traditional martial arts!"
handsome guy?
Lin Xi paused, then secretly glanced at the pen.
That one glance made her feel like all the blood in her body had frozen.
A determined-looking young man carried a long sword on his back, looking quite imposing.
He had handsome features and looked at the sky with a detached expression, like a wandering knight-errant.
It's that damn familiar feeling again.
A specific name even appeared in my mind.
She snatched it away and frantically searched for the name in the long, densely packed description.
—Jiang Chuan.
really.
What's wrong with this world?
"What are you doing?..."
Before my deskmate could finish his rambling complaints, a powerful wave of dizziness washed over me.
Her vision went black, and she heard an anxious call in her ear.
"Lin Xi!"
And then I knew nothing more.
