Chapter 6: Don’t Talk to Idiots
“What a stupid thing to say about falling flat on your face!”
Night Star’s eyes teared up as the pain in her mind almost made her pass out.
Fortunately, the two bodies don’t share injuries.
Night Lan had fallen into a coma due to the body’s natural protective mechanism. Night Star only felt a little pain from the other body.
Such is life for an soul.
“Waaah~Waaah~Waaah~”
After rolling around for a while, Night Star finally calmed down.
“So what happened? I was running, then suddenly lost all my strength…” As soon as she regained consciousness, Night Star complained aloud.
“And now I wonder where they’re going to take me after getting hurt. Is it the hospital? But without money, how can I afford medical fees? Oh~ Maybe I’ll have to sell my house and sleep under a bridge?! d*mn it~”
Night Star rolled around on the bed, her huge shirt slipping off and exposing a large portion of her pale skin, nearly semi-n*ked. It had a mix of cute and slightly naughty vibe.
Once her hair became a bit messy, Night Star stopped and began thinking, suddenly realizing something.
“Maybe… I should just give up on that body?”
But as soon as this shameless thought appeared, Night Star lowered her head sadly.
“That’s impossible! This is me. How could I give up on myself?”
She’s completely numb, totally numb.
Thinking more calmly now, maybe finding a rich girl isn’t such a bad idea after all.
Of course, whether the other party agrees or not is another matter.
Who would take back two useless loli slobs who do nothing?
Night Star sat on the bed hugging her smooth white legs, her toes, like pearls, repeatedly stroking the blanket under her feet, conveying her mixed feelings inside.
“Forget it, let’s wait until Night Lan wakes up first…”
…
Night Watcher Base.
In the medical department, a tiny black-haired girl with a white bandage wrapped around her head lay still on the bed.
Outside the door stood four people.
Three of them were the ones who brought Night Lan back: White Paint, Cai Xun, and Bu Jie.
The fourth person was the attending doctor treating Night Lan’s injuries.
“From what you’ve said, it’s amazing this child survived a fall at that speed and isn’t dead yet, and it seems like she doesn’t have any serious injuries. She should be able to bounce back in just one day.”
The attending doctor flipped through the medical report and quickly concluded.
It was mainly because Night Lan had been treated by a Night Watcher with a healing-type Star, otherwise, her injuries wouldn’t have healed so quickly.
Cai Xun gasped in shock, feeling his worldview had been greatly shaken.
“It’s unbelievable, is this loli made of iron? Even after such a hard fall, she’s fine?”
Bu Jie patted his shoulder, wearing a self-deprecating expression.
“Young people these days are all tough, huh? We’re old fogeys, we’re not cool enough.”
Cai Xun slapped Bu Jie’s hand away, saying, “Shut up, I’m still young, you’re the old fogey!”
Then the attending doctor left.
Without paying attention to the bickering duo, White Paint pushed open the door and walked into the room to check on Night Lan lying in bed.
Staring at her cute face, White Paint’s gaze swirled as if remembering something, then sadness flashed across his eyes momentarily.
“She really looks like… and it’s good everything is okay.”
Just as White Paint’s eyes went blank from staring at Night Lan, the figure on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
“Mmmh… strange ceiling.”
As soon as Night Lan opened her eyes, she found herself in a strange environment.
Without a doubt, it must be a hospital, right?
“Heads-up! Come look! The little loli woke up!”
“d*mn! Really? I thought she would be unconscious for days, she has such a strong will—like steel!”
Hearing unfamiliar voices, Night Lan turned her gaze and saw three strangers.
She remembered seeing these three before she fell unconscious. Were they her saviors?
While Night Lan pondered, a black-haired young man approached her bed and held up two fingers.
“What’s this?”
“Two?”
Though a bit afraid to interact with strangers, Night Lan still softly answered, pulling the blanket over half of her face, as if seeking comfort from the cover.
Only to see the black-haired young man open his mouth with a shocked expression.
“How could it be! My body’s intact, but my brain got scrambled! I can’t even distinguish between ‘two’ and ‘ye’!”
Night Lan: “??”
At hearing this, Night Lan suddenly wanted to kick the guy.
But someone else took revenge for her.
A blonde young man smacked the black-haired guy on the head, shoving him aside.
“Idiot, scram, don’t scare the kid.”
After slapping Bu Jie, Cai Xun gave a friendly smile.
“Little missy, ignore that idiot. Can you tell us your name, where you live, and your parents’ contact information? So we can inform your family that you’re fine.”
Little missy?
Hearing this term, Night Lan realized it was the first time she had appeared in front of strangers as a loli. She had no idea how to interact with people in this role.
“The name’s Night Lan… I live alone, and my parents passed away.”
Cai Xun was dumbfounded and asked further, “Wait, you live alone? Nobody takes care of you?”
“No, I’ve always lived alone.”
“Hiss—This shouldn’t be. Did you have no other guardians? Leaving such a little kid to live alone, what sort of nonsense is this?”
White Paint checked her identity elsewhere but found no record of a girl named “Night Lan” in the city.
Not even a shred of information.
Remember, every child has their details recorded online. At least some information should show up.
But such a clean record was the first occurrence.
“Is she an illegal resident?”
White Paint surmised that Night Lan’s parents secretly raised her, without any identity records.
But why they did this, he had no idea.
Probably for some weird reason.
Night Lan didn’t know that the teenage girl beside her had already mentally reconstructed her entire backstory. Her mind was in turmoil.
[The pain’s gone; today’s medical technology is amazing. But surely the medical bills are sky-high, right? I don’t have enough cash… Should I seek help from these kind-hearted souls? But how would I pay them back?]
White Paint was also pondering and finally made a decision.
“How old are you?”
“Twenty-three.”
Upon hearing someone ask her age, Night Lan answered without thinking.
Yes, that’s her real age.
But that number made the trio look utterly bewildered.
Night Lan then realized it might be too absurd, so she quickly corrected herself.
“Eighteen, yes, eighteen!”
Bu Jie was like a puzzled emoji guy.
“Eighteen?! Sis, don’t lie! Which one of the girls my age is as short as you are?”
Night Lan instantly blushed, looking cute and silly.
“Then fourteen…”
“Fourteen? These days, kids at fourteen are almost grown-ups, but you seem… extremely malnourished, huh?”
“Tsk~”
Night Lan covered her head with the blanket and sulked inside, muttering grumpily to herself.
Do not talk to idiots.
