Reproduction
Two months later, Jiang Yi returned to her cramped rented room under the starlight, feeling utterly exhausted. After entering the room, she put down her bag and collapsed onto the bed, remaining motionless for a long time.
The injuries from the car accident have almost healed. Her mother returned to her hometown a week ago. After hearing the news of her car accident, she rushed to the city where she lived to take care of her. Fortunately, she was only in a coma for a while and was otherwise unharmed.
Before her mother left, she still tried to persuade her, saying that since she had a good education, she should go back to her hometown and find a stable job. But Jiang Yi was unwilling. After studying in the north for so many years, there were many opportunities in the big city. She didn't want to give up just like that. She still wanted to work hard outside while she was young, just in case she was blessed by Lady Luck.
Hearing her daughter speak so firmly, her mother didn't know what else to say. She just told Jiang Yi to take good care of herself and to come home whenever she couldn't hold on any longer, as there would always be food for her at home.
Like countless other people wandering far from home, Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly welled up with tears upon hearing these words, and she almost burst into tears on the spot. So she pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and nodded vigorously, saying that she would take good care of herself and that she could rest assured at home...
But today, things didn't go well, and I almost got sexually harassed by some scum in the industry!
After graduation, my classmates and friends received invitations one after another. Although they weren't the male or female lead, even playing a minor role like serving tea or water was a valuable experience.
On the other hand, she suffered a terrible misfortune and spent so many days in the hospital that she was practically ruined. Even the doctors said that if she didn't wake up soon, she risked becoming a vegetable! After waking up, she underwent a long period of rehabilitation training before she could even barely get out of bed and walk...
It was under these circumstances that a producer suddenly contacted her through her teacher, saying that he had accidentally seen her photo at school and that her image was very suitable for a movie they were preparing, and invited her to audition for the second female lead.
After confirming the matter with her teacher, Jiang Yi immediately contacted the producer and agreed to audition. The two parties even agreed on the time and place. But who would have thought that after putting on beautiful makeup and going to the designated location the next day, Jiang Yi was dumbfounded. She never expected that the audition place would be a private villa!
To be honest, she felt uncomfortable from the moment she stepped into the villa, and as it turned out, Jiang Yi's feeling was right.
The waiter led her through a maze of turns into a private room. The moment the door opened, everyone inside turned to look at her. At that instant, Jiang Yi felt a chill run down her spine and goosebumps rose all over her body.
The men's gazes, like venomous snakes flicking their tongues, roamed over her body, disgusting and sticky, making her want to vomit.
Jiang Yi looked around and found that the private room was almost entirely filled with men, with only one female assistant responsible for pouring drinks for them. She was dressed rather provocatively in a low-cut, tight-fitting short dress that almost exposed her thighs, and had large, wavy, wine-red hair. When she saw Jiang Yi standing blankly at the door, the smile on her lips unconsciously faded, and she stopped laughing and joking with the man beside her, giving her a curious once-over...
When the producer saw her arrive, he gestured with his chin to signal the waiter to leave, then walked over to Jiang Yi with a smile, carrying a glass of wine. He quietly touched her slender waist with one hand and introduced the people inside one by one with a smile.
Jiang Yi's lips twitched a few times, and she subtly moved aside to avoid his hand.
The producer was visibly taken aback, but maintained his smile as if he didn't care about the little incident.
Upon hearing a familiar name, Jiang Yi looked up and followed his hand to see what was inside. She discovered that there was a famous director among them who had recently won a major award. He had always had a good reputation in the public eye, being talented and loving towards his wife. Yet, he was there too, even playing around with his assistant. Looking closer, she noticed that his hand was on the assistant's thigh. You really can't judge a book by its cover!
Jiang Yi felt disgusted to death. Although the producer didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew the unspoken rules of the industry, and some things didn't need to be pointed out.
After the producer finished his introduction, he grabbed Jiang Yi's arm and pushed her into a chair. People around them were joking and teasing, shouting that she should be punished with three cups of wine for being late. The producer pretended to be serious and said that the newcomer didn't know the rules, so she should just drink one cup as a token.
Jiang Yi sneered inwardly, thinking, "I have to drink it no matter what!"
Two of them waved their hands and said that the roles of the second female lead and the first female lead were no big deal; if they got into a good mood, they could make a decision tonight.
The producer poured her a glass of wine and shoved it into her hand without a word. Jiang Yi couldn't stand the stench of these greasy middle-aged men any longer, so she jumped up abruptly, almost knocking over the producer's glass of wine. She quickly apologized and was about to leave.
But the producer wouldn't have it. He grabbed her, his playful demeanor completely gone, and said fiercely that letting a newcomer like her attend the party was only out of respect for her teacher, and that she shouldn't be so ungrateful...
Jiang Yi laughed in anger. Before they could react, she quickly pulled out her phone from her bag and snapped a series of photos of their round faces. She threatened that the photos on her phone were automatically uploaded to the cloud and were remotely linked to her boyfriend. She said that if he didn't reply to her messages within twenty minutes, he would call the police. The producer who was holding her arm slowly let go.
After opening the door to the private room, Jiang Yi didn't forget to turn back and mock the producer, saying that if it weren't for the fact that he knew her teacher, she would have thrown that glass of wine in his face. However, she also said that she would delete the photos she had after leaving the resort, and that they could eat in peace...
Sure enough, Jiang Yi had only taken a few steps out of the villa when she ran quickly to a tree and vomited...
The room was dark, and the person lying on the bed remained motionless for a long time. Suddenly, the phone rang, and the darkness was suddenly illuminated. Just as the light was about to dim, Jiang Yi finally moved, reached for her phone, and saw that it was a message from her mother.
[Yiyi, have you eaten yet? Mom bought some nutritional supplements and sent them to you, remember to eat them. Oh, and didn't you say you wanted to eat the sausages Mom made? Well, as soon as I got home, I started buying the ingredients and preparing them. I sent them over after I finished making them. You just got out of the hospital not long ago, so you must get plenty of rest and avoid staying up late; it's bad for your health. Be a good girl...]
As Jiang Yi watched, tears welled up in her eyes. Thinking of the grievances and humiliations she had suffered that day, she wished she could immediately buy a ticket online and go home overnight.
But in the end, she took a tissue from the bedside table, wiped away her tears, and replied to each message, telling her mother that she was fine and that she could rest assured.
I turned off my phone; not a single light could be seen in the room.
Jiang Yi kicked off her shoes, turned over, and lay on her back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Is He Lin alright? What is he doing now?
Boyfriend? She doesn't have a boyfriend in this world; He Lin is the husband of her dreams.
Of all this, what is real and what is fake?
When Jiang Yi first woke up in the hospital, she searched through almost all the relevant historical materials online, but she couldn't find the dynasty that He Lin lived in. Even the emperor's surname and personal name didn't exist. After being discharged from the hospital, she went to the library again, unwilling to give up. She searched through all the historical books in the library. When she couldn't understand something, she asked the all-knowing netizens for help online, but she still couldn't find any clues about that dynasty.
After returning to modern society, Jiang Yi never heard the system's voice again.
Was all of this a dream she had while she was in a coma? If so, the dream was far too long and too real. All the emotions she poured into it came from the depths of her heart; they truly existed, so much so that she could never completely forget them...
It was already 9:30 p.m., and Jiang Yi hadn't eaten yet. Her stomach was rumbling, but she didn't want to move at all. She had no energy, so she thought about it and decided to just order takeout later. She was too lazy to cook.
The rented room was so quiet, and the lights were off. In the complete darkness, it was so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat.
After a while, Jiang Yi suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly with a somersault.
That's not right! Her house has terrible soundproofing. She can hear everything her neighbors make, even through just one wall. Why can't she hear anything now? She clearly bumped into her neighbor just as they came in when she came back.
Jiang Yi was puzzled when her phone rang—no, it lit up—but she couldn't hear anything. The screen showed a spam call notification. She was sure the volume was on full blast and the phone wasn't on silent, so why was there no sound? Strange.
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Jiang Yi pressed the answer button. Time passed by, and two minutes later, the other party hung up the phone. Jiang Yi broke out in a cold sweat.
She can't hear anything anymore.
But then I thought, what if it's just a broken phone?
Jiang Yi quickly turned on the room light, jumped out of bed, and ran towards the kitchen. Holding a spatula in one hand and a pot in the other, her hand trembling slightly, she banged on the pot with all her might, but still no sound! Undeterred, she banged on every pot and pan, but the silence was eerily profound…
Oh no, the aftereffects of being hit by the car are showing!
She's deaf!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi ran back to the bedside, grabbed her phone, and was about to send a message to the driver who hit her, wanting him to cover the subsequent medical examination costs.
But Jiang Yi deleted it as soon as she typed two words.
At this moment, she could hear her own rapid breathing and pounding heart, which became clearer and clearer in her ears, even to the point of being quite loud.
This is abnormal! This is extremely abnormal!
Just then, the lights in the room made two buzzing sounds and then suddenly went out.
The only light in the entire room was on from her phone, illuminating her terrified, pale face.
What followed was a piercing tinnitus, sometimes loud and sometimes soft, and there seemed to be a crackling sound in my head as well.
Jiang Yi cursed under her breath, but the electric current in her mind unexpectedly transformed into a cold voice:
[Hello host, I am the Transmigration System 001, and I am happy to serve you again.]
Jiang Yi: "What?!"
【Smile】
