When Song Chuxia woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar place. Looking around carefully, she realized she was on a bed that was only ninety centimeters wide.
Song Chuxia wondered to herself, What’s going on? Have I been kidnapped? No, wait. What kind of kidnapping is this?
She hadn’t even drunk any alcohol yesterday. She had simply gone to bed as usual. How had she ended up here?
Just as Song Chuxia was about to pull back the bed curtain and sneak a look outside, she heard footsteps approaching.
“Song Chuxia, are you awake?”
A gentle female voice drifted into Chuxia’s ears.
Who is that? I don’t recognize her voice.
Song Chuxia thought to herself.
Following the principle of not making a move until the other party did, she stayed quiet and listened carefully to what was happening outside.
“Su Qianqian, just leave her alone. She’s always been spoiled and arrogant, and she loves bullying you. Yet you still care so much about her. Even I’m upset on your behalf.”
“Wang Lingling, we grew up together. I’m already used to it. She’s been running a fever for the past two days. I just don’t know whether she’s recovered yet.” Su Qianqian sounded worried.
“Qianqian…”
A man’s anxious voice suddenly rang out.
“Jiang Xu, what brings you here?” Su Qianqian asked softly.
“There are zombies everywhere outside. We need to leave here as soon as possible.” Jiang Xu sounded anxious, but he was afraid of frightening Qianqian, so he deliberately softened his voice.
‘Su Qianqian,’ ‘Wang Lingling,’ ‘Song Chuxia,’ ‘Jiang Xu,’ and ‘zombies’… What’s going on? Why are these names exactly the same as the characters in the apocalypse novel I read yesterday?
“But… Chuxia is still unconscious. She hasn’t woken up from her fever yet. We can’t just abandon her.”
Su Qianqian sounded distressed, and Song Chuxia could even hear her sobbing.
If Song Chuxia hadn’t transmigrated into the novel and hadn’t read the original story, she would definitely have been touched by those words.
But right now, all she wanted to say was:
Please, just leave. Stop disturbing my peace.
When she thought about the apocalypse, the first things that came to Song Chuxia’s mind were a spatial ability and stockpiling supplies.
She remembered that Su Qianqian had a bracelet. Once, she accidentally cut her finger, only to discover that the bracelet was actually a spatial artifact. That was how Su Qianqian obtained a space containing spiritual spring water.
When Song Chuxia had read the novel, she had been particularly envious of that ability.
After all, the female lead was the female lead. She was naturally blessed with extraordinary advantages.
According to the original story, Su Qianqian hadn’t awakened her spatial ability yet.
That was understandable. If the female lead obtained her golden finger too early, what would the male lead be there for?
Before awakening her spatial ability, the female lead and male lead needed time to develop their relationship. It was an important stage that would lay the foundation for the hardships they would face later.
The male lead…
Damn it! The male lead was actually Jiang Xu, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé!
Song Chuxia was startled.
Oh my goodness! He’s right outside!
“Qianqian, I know you’re kind-hearted, but it’s too dangerous outside. We need to leave immediately. She’s unconscious, and taking her along would be too inconvenient. It would actually be safer to leave her here.”
Jiang Xu tried to persuade her gently.
Song Chuxia cursed inwardly.
I have something to say, but I’m not sure whether I should say it.
I’m your future wife, at least! Yet you don’t seem concerned about me at all.
If Song Chuxia hadn’t already made up her mind to distance herself from the main characters starting right this moment, she would definitely have pointed at Jiang Xu’s nose and given him a good scolding.
Forget it, forget it. She should focus on remembering the plot instead.
Wait a minute!
Wasn’t the female lead’s bracelet originally a gift from her?
More precisely, Su Qianqian had taken it from her through emotional manipulation.
According to the original plot, she should have already woken up by now. She would leave the school together with the others, wearing the bracelet on her wrist. Su Qianqian would notice it and say that she liked it. When Song Chuxia refused to give it to her, Jiang Xu and the others would take Su Qianqian’s side and forcibly snatch the bracelet from her.
Thinking of this, Song Chuxia hurriedly raised her hand and examined her wrist.
Oh my goodness! I really do have a bracelet! This must be it!
Song Chuxia couldn’t wait to make the bracelet recognize her as its owner by dripping blood onto it.
There was no helping it. She was an impatient person. She couldn’t bear to wait even one second when it came to something like this.
She wanted to find a knife.
No, that wouldn’t work. They were right outside the bed.
Should she bite her finger instead?
Ugh, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Ah! If only she could control objects with her mind!
Hmm? Something felt a little strange about her body.
Song Chuxia concentrated, and a twenty-centimeter-long… little twig suddenly appeared in her palm.
Song Chuxia: “…………..”
Thank you so much. How thoughtful of you.
“Exactly, Su Qianqian. You can’t be too kind-hearted. You treat her so well, but she never appreciates anything you do for her.”
Wang Lingling sounded exasperated.
“Wang Lingling, don’t say that…”
“Alright, let’s go.”
Before Su Qianqian could finish speaking, Jiang Xu interrupted her and pulled her toward the exit.
“…Jiang Xu…”
Hearing their voices gradually fade into the distance, Song Chuxia hurriedly climbed out of bed, grabbed a utility knife, and quickly scrambled back onto the bed.
She glanced toward the doorway and discovered that they hadn’t even closed the door.
Fuck… Forget it. I need to hurry.
Song Chuxia knew all too well how powerful the protagonist’s halo was. If she didn’t act quickly, the bracelet might end up slipping right through her fingers.
She quickly pulled the bed curtain shut, cut her finger, and squeezed a drop of blood onto the lily-of-the-valley flower on the bracelet.
One second, two seconds…
Time seemed to have stopped.
Song Chuxia held her breath, unable to keep the anxiety from building inside her.
Because she could hear hurried footsteps outside, along with someone whispering:
“Qianqian, why are you going back?”
One step, two steps…
Thump, thump… Thump, thump…
Just as Su Qianqian pulled back the bed curtain, a vast space suddenly appeared in Song Chuxia’s mind.
It was roughly the size of two basketball courts.
Song Chuxia looked around and hurriedly searched for the spiritual spring water. In a corner of the space, she discovered a well.
Only then did she finally relax.
She withdrew her consciousness from the space.
“Chuxia, Chuxia, wake up!”
Su Qianqian anxiously called her name while her hands moved up and down over her, as though she were searching for something.
Song Chuxia wondered inwardly:
What’s going on? Has the female lead awakened her spatial ability already? Is she looking for the bracelet?
In reality, Su Qianqian hadn’t awakened anything. She had simply felt an inexplicable sense of unease, as though she had left something extremely important behind with Song Chuxia. That was why she had rushed back without hesitation to look for it.
“Qianqian, she’s still not awake, is she? Let’s go.”
Jiang Xu’s voice rang out.
Song Chuxia complained inwardly:
What’s with that tone? You sound as though you’re hoping I’ll never wake up!
Even if you don’t like me, fine. We can forget about the affection we’ve shared since childhood. But I’m still a human life, aren’t I?
Song Chuxia suddenly began to understand why the original Song Chuxia had turned into a vicious female supporting character.
She had practically been driven to madness!
Just imagine it. Who could endure being constantly slandered and emotionally manipulated by a white lotus and a green tea girl, having their fiancé stolen, and eventually watching their own family get killed?
Who wouldn’t go crazy?
If she had to live in those circumstances every single day, she would probably become even crazier than the original Song Chuxia.
Song Chuxia allowed Su Qianqian to continue searching her without resisting, deliberately pretending to remain unconscious.
She knew that once the bracelet recognized her as its owner, it would disappear from the outside world.
So she had absolutely nothing to worry about.
“Qianqian? Let’s go.”
Jiang Xu walked over to the bed, looked up at Qianqian, and spoke gently.
Su Qianqian stopped what she was doing. She hesitated for a moment before nodding and getting off the bed.
“Qianqian, be careful!”
Jiang Xu called out anxiously.
If Song Chuxia had opened her eyes, she would have seen that Jiang Xu was afraid Su Qianqian might hurt herself while getting off the bed, so he scooped her up in his arms and carried her down.
He carried her in a bridal-style embrace all the way out of the room.
Song Chuxia secretly watched their retreating figures.
She really wanted to shout after them:
Why don’t you just kill me right now? At least that way, I can help add some excitement to your little love story!
