“Everyone, quiet down. Class is about to begin.”
The moment Bai Yang saw the teacher walk in, she finally understood why the man sitting across from her in the corner of the cafeteria earlier had seemed strangely familiar.
So he was the substitute teacher for her class this semester.
She did not know if it was merely her imagination, but when the teacher entered the classroom, he seemed to glance at her.
Bai Yang nudged Leng Jiajia beside her.
“Jiajia, do you know who our substitute teacher is?”
“This is Fu Le. He’s been teaching our class for an entire semester, and you still don’t know him?”
“Why would I need to know him?”
Bai Yang found that rather strange. However, after thinking about it carefully, she remembered that in her previous life, she had spent most of her classes playing on her phone. She probably did not even know how many classes she had each week.
Thinking about it made Bai Yang feel a little guilty, and she rubbed the tip of her nose.
If there had been no apocalypse, she definitely would have paid more attention in class.
“You spend all your time in the dormitory except when you’re in class or eating. How would you know how famous our substitute teacher is?”
Leng Jiajia rolled her eyes, then gazed dreamily at Fu Le, who was teaching from the podium.
“I heard Teacher Fu Le is only twenty-three this year. He wears a white shirt and looks so refined and gentle. He’s practically the first love of my dreams!”
Hearing Leng Jiajia say that, Bai Yang carefully looked Fu Le over.
A simple white shirt paired with dress pants, a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes, and a faint upward curve to his lips made him look perpetually frivolous.
This guy?
Hah! He was nothing but a refined scoundrel. What was the use of being handsome? It was not as if she had never seen someone more handsome before.
“Wake up, Leng Jiajia. With that refined scoundrel appearance of his, no matter how handsome he is, he still won’t be yours.”
Perhaps she had eaten too much that morning, because less than ten minutes into the class, Bai Yang was already beginning to doze off.
Her head bobbed repeatedly. Although her consciousness remained clear, she simply could not resist the physical drowsiness overwhelming her.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yang suddenly opened her eyes.
Everything before her was covered in a gray mist, and she could not see anything clearly.
Bai Yang cautiously took a few steps forward and discovered that the ground beneath her feet was solid earth. Gathering her courage, she walked a few more steps, her heart filled with confusion.
Wasn’t she in class?
How had she suddenly ended up here?
Where was this place?
Suddenly, a burning sensation surged through her chest.
The heat made Bai Yang shudder, and she hurriedly reached into her clothes to pull out whatever was burning her.
It was a jade pendant.
It had been a birthday gift from her older brother when she was fifteen. He had often been away from home, and in her previous life, she had worn the pendant until the day she died.
Looking at it closely now, Bai Yang realized that the pendant had changed.
It had once been a beautiful, pure color, but now half of it had turned red, as though it had been soaked in blood.
Just as the jade pendant grew hotter and hotter, and Bai Yang had no idea what to do, it suddenly shattered in her hand and disappeared into the air.
At the same time, the gray mist surrounding her slowly began to fade.
Bai Yang stared in shock.
The misty surroundings gradually became clear, revealing fertile soil. Not far away, there was also a small stream.
Bai Yang’s heart trembled with shock.
In her previous life, she had been a spatial ability user. Now that she had been reborn, how could she possibly fail to recognize this space?
Before she could think any further, she heard someone calling her name.
“Bai Yang? Bai Yang?”
When she opened her eyes again, she discovered someone poking her arm.
Looking up, she saw Fu Le, who had been teaching from the podium, staring at her helplessly.
“Bai Yang, is my class really that boring? I called your name several times, but you didn’t hear me at all. You were sleeping quite soundly.”
“Cough, I’m sorry, Teacher. I stayed up too late last night, so I accidentally got sleepy.”
“Bai Yang, I hope you won’t fall asleep again the next time you attend my class.”
How many times had this girl ever seriously listened during class?
Although Bai Yang could not hear Fu Le muttering to himself, she could tell from his expression that he was rather irritated.
After dealing with Fu Le, Bai Yang lowered her eyes and touched her chest. Only after confirming that she could no longer feel the jade pendant did she quietly let out a breath of relief.
The jade pendant disappearing meant that what she had seen earlier was real and not merely a dream.
At the same time, Bai Yang felt delighted.
She had originally been worried about where she would store all the supplies she planned to collect. Now that she had a space, everything would be much easier.
The only thing left to solve now was the problem of money.
The class ended while Bai Yang remained lost in thought.
After class, Bai Yang went to speak with her counselor and requested one month of leave, saying that there was an urgent matter at home.
After receiving the leave slip, Bai Yang hurried back to the dormitory to pack her luggage.
Leng Jiajia remained silent beside her.
She had always felt that Bai Yang was somehow different from before, but she could not explain exactly what had changed.
Zhang Ziyi, who had also returned to the dormitory after class, was surprised when she saw Bai Yang packing.
“Yangyang, are you packing to go home?”
“Yes. Something happened at home, so I took a month off.”
“I remember our school is giving us a few days off in June. Why don’t you all come to my house and have some fun?
“Try to come, all of you, especially you, Leng Jiajia.”
There was only one month left before the apocalypse arrived.
Bai Yang knew she did not have much time to make unnecessary preparations, but when it came to her roommates, she still could not completely ignore them.
However, she also could not openly tell them that the apocalypse was coming.
After leaving the school, Bai Yang did not head directly to the train station to return home.
Her university was located in a neighboring province from her hometown, and even by train, the journey would take an entire day.
After checking the balance on her phone, Bai Yang decided to first figure out how to get enough money to buy supplies.
Bai Yang attended university in H City, where the cost of living was much higher than in her hometown, Q City. Of course, the public security there was also somewhat worse.
Bai Yang found a hotel and checked in, planning to go out later that evening to take a look around.
Thinking about the space that had appeared during class, Bai Yang decided to first understand its current condition.
She touched her chest, only then remembering that the jade pendant had disappeared after she entered the space.
Without the jade pendant, how could she enter the space?
Bai Yang felt somewhat troubled.
Then she remembered the spatial ability she had possessed in her previous life and began trying to connect with the space through her thoughts.
With a single thought, she instantly entered the space.
Now, Bai Yang could finally take a proper look at the space brought by the jade pendant, something that had never appeared in her previous life.
Upon entering the space again, Bai Yang discovered that it seemed to have changed somewhat.
The land was still completely bare, with only a small stream running through it.
Bai Yang followed the stream for several hundred meters but still could not see where it ended.
“Does this space have no end? That shouldn’t be possible.”
After following the stream for another ten or so minutes, Bai Yang suddenly spotted a pile of miscellaneous items.
She quickly walked over and realized that the objects looked strangely familiar.
After examining them carefully, she discovered that they were the things she had stored in her space during her previous life.
Among them, the largest amount consisted of medical supplies she had collected from hospitals.
Bai Yang immediately became excited.
If there was one type of supply that was the hardest to obtain, it was medicine.
Yet after the apocalypse began, medicine was needed everywhere.
