Volu 4: High School Arc - “I” Co to Find You~
I quietly warned myself to calm down.
The system upgrade, although sudden, was bound to happen sooner or later.
Even if I got angry now, it would just be impotent rage.
Anger... fury, apart from making lose my rationality, would do nothing to help the current situation.
"Yes, it won’t help at all. Calm down and think about what to do next."
Although I considered myself a sentintal person, on the other hand, I also didn’t get emotional easily.
So, judging by the people I had t before, I might be... the type who smiles with a cold heart?
Actually, I had received similar comnts more than once.
I had a decent sense of self-awareness.
And people like were often able to think calmly.
Maybe because of that, many people said I was cold-blooded.
Well...
That was a matter of perspective.
I picked up my phone.
Although my heart was still pumping blood rapidly from anger, I was still able to think clearly.
My calmness was, to so extent, almost absolute.
At the very least, no matter how scared or angry I got, if I was poor, I would never throw my phone.
I also knew this trait of mine wasn’t exactly normal.
But now wasn’t the ti to talk about that.
I got down to pick up the phone, removed the still-intact SIM card, quickly opened the new ☆ ☆ ☆, inserted the card, synced, solved everything within ten minutes.
At the sa ti, I picked up the Apple phone and called Liu Wanqian directly.
"Hello? Yunyan? Still not feeling well?"
As soon as the call connected, I heard the noise of people from the other end, but before I could make out the background noise clearly, Liu Wanqian’s worried voice ca through.
"Mm... Dad, I’d like to take another day off today."
"Alright. In that case, I’ll have Shao He take you to the hospital for a checkup later. It’s better to confirm. If they can’t figure it out, at least give a call. Is it hurting badly?"
On the other end of the line was a fatherly love I hadn’t experienced in years.
Although this affection was ant for ‘Liu Yunyan’, and as the consciousness of Zhang Yiwei, I shouldn’t have accepted such familial affection, at that mont, I suddenly let out a long sigh of relief in my heart.
The fingertips that had been trembling from rage also gradually cald down.
So... this was what having family felt like?
It had been so long... such a long ti since I last felt it.
"It’s okay."
Because of the migraine yesterday, I knew it would carry over to today.
Originally, I thought once the ga ended and I relaxed, the headache would ease up or even go away without dicine.
But I didn’t expect... the APP would pull sothing like this.
"Alright. I’ll get in touch with Teacher Xue from this side. You get so rest. If anything feels wrong, let Dad know imdiately. By the way, your allowance for next month has already been transferred. Let know if it’s not enough."
"Mm..."
Listening to Liu Wanqian’s constant reminders, I had to admit... in that mont, my heart truly trembled.
After ending the call, I took a mont to calm my complicated emotions, then picked up the ☆ ☆ ☆ phone.
Tapping on the screen, I quickly sent out a mass ssage: ‘eting at Big Brother Shan’s BBQ shop tonight. My treat for barbecue.’
I sent it to Lu Haochen, Shan Xuelin, Jiang Yulong, and Xu Han.
These four were the only ones I knew from the APP ga.
No, not just acquaintances—these were people who had shown kindness toward among those I had t.
As for the people from the Death Coffin, although I knew them, I wouldn’t be contacting them.
When I entered Lu Haochen’s na, I clearly hesitated for a mont.
That mont of hesitation even surprised .
I knew that Lu Haochen probably had so impure motives at this stage, but... that was just human nature.
After all, I too had grown up from the younger generation.
But right now, I wasn’t going to consider such things.
After sending the ssage, I believed the four of them would clearly understand what I ant.
For smart people, there was no need to explain much.
"Hiss~"
I touched my forehead.
The pain intensified due to accelerated blood circulation.
"I really do need to take dicine now."
I grumbled about switching identities but not dicine, feeling a bit helpless as I endured the headache and walked into the bathroom.
I didn’t use hot water, just rinsed off with cold water.
It helped ease the headache a bit, but I still felt physically weak.
Well, skipping breakfast and then taking a cold shower—no one would feel great after that.
I changed into clean clothes, picked up my phone, and looked up today’s news.
Just as I expected, the incident had quickly made it to the local trending topics.
The headline was simple, and the content even simpler.
“At 6:30 this morning, at Bus Stop 119 on East Road of Xijiao Street, a young man, due to lack of sleep, slipped and fell under a bus and died on the spot. This reminds everyone that while working hard is important, taking care of your health is more so. Actually…” and so on.
I figured the police hadn’t searched his ho yet.
After all, his belongings should go to his family.
But Wang Ding didn’t really have any family now, so the police would likely search his room in a few days.
By then, the whole incident would definitely be exposed.
It just depended on how the authorities planned to suppress the news.
I put down my phone and headed downstairs.
Though my head hurt, I still needed to eat.
Breakfast had already been prepared, and Shao He had started eating.
When she saw coming downstairs, she looked up at .
“Eat. We’ll go to the hospital after breakfast.”
“Mm.”
Liu Wanqian had definitely contacted Shao He already, so I wasn’t surprised she said that.
Reina looked at with concern.
“Ojou-sama, are you feeling better?”
Seeing Reina’s worried expression, I could only force a weak smile.
“I’m alright. Sorry for scaring you earlier.”
“It’s okay. Please have breakfast first, Ojou-sama.”
Reina didn’t bla for my earlier outburst and remained as attentive as ever.
After breakfast, Shao He went to get the car ready.
On the way, I sent a ssage to Bai Juanjuan.
Previously, when I wasn’t at school, Bai Juanjuan might’ve been isolated.
But now, with Lu Haochen and the other two around, I didn’t need to worry about that anymore.
Bai Juanjuan replied with a ssage saying everything was fine and not to worry.
Just like that, we arrived at the hospital.
After a round of checkups, nothing useful was found.
Both Chinese and Western dicine had been consulted, but all they said was “rest and recuperate.”
I sent this update to Liu Wanqian.
In a provincial capital ranked top ten in national dical standards, that kind of diagnosis was still pretty concerning.
In fact, to this day, there was no particularly effective treatnt for migraines.
I’d heard that microvascular decompression surgery had so efficacy for stubborn migraines, but I still didn’t want anyone cutting into my brain.
I sent Liu Wanqian a smiling emoji on WeChat, then put my phone down, took a painkiller, and lay on the bed.
Having barely slept all night, I wasn’t exactly sleepy, but my body felt quite drained.
Lying on the soft back seat, my body and mind gradually relaxed.
No matter what... I had safely made it through another round.
At the very least, during this system upgrade phase, I could finally relax a bit after being reborn once again.
"Hoo..."
