Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Just Got an Ear Pierced
Pain
Especially painful, her whole head feeling dizzy and swollen,
Bai Zhi reached out and touched her head, only to feel a thick bandage.
She hadn't wrapped up her head with a bandage when she went to rest last night, had she?
She just had her ears pierced, and it turned into an infection.
Hearing that alcohol could disinfect, she had directly used baijiu to clean it.
Feeling that external application wasn't enough, she took some internally as well.
Honestly, the taste of that baijiu was truly terrible.
It choked her and the smell of the alcohol was nauseating, making her want to vomit; she really didn't know why so many people liked to drink it.
Clearly, Bai Zhi's mind had already wandered off.
Could it be that she was sent to the hospital because of alcohol poisoning?@@@@
Her eyelids were very heavy; she could hardly keep them open.
Her head also hurt terribly, as if someone had smashed it with a huge blow.
She furrowed her brows and started forcing her eyes open.
She couldn't help but touch her head.
"Hey, hey, no touching, no touching. Dear granddaughter, you mustn't touch it. You've got a big gash on your head; you can't touch it."
An unfamiliar voice rang out by Bai Zhi's ears.
Dear granddaughter? Grandfather?
That couldn't be right. Her grandfather had been buried many years ago. Could they not joke with her like this, it wasn't funny at all.
This must be a dream. Open your eyes, open your eyes, Bai Zhi told herself to quickly open her eyes.
Forget it, she couldn't open her eyes. Just reach for the phone, where was it?
Xingxing?
Right, grandfather always called her Xingxing, but she didn't like sugar water.
And this place—it wasn't their home,
So, was she still dreaming?
Seeing Bai Zhi in a daze, grandfather felt distressed,
his voice choking up,
"What's wrong, is your head hurting? Have some sugar water. Just stay with grandfather, don't go back.
Your parents are blinded by something; their own daughter doesn't matter to them, but a picked-up child does, isn't that crazy?"
Grandfather got angry thinking about that son; recalling how his granddaughter was at death's door, he really felt like killing them.
"Grandfather?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat confused; she couldn't understand what grandfather was saying,
Suddenly, she felt dizzy...
She quickly held on, "Grandfather, I'm feeling dizzy."
Hold on, she must hold on, otherwise if the dream ended, she wouldn't see her grandfather anymore.
"Dizzy?"
Grandfather was anxious too, quickly setting aside the sugar water and letting Bai Zhi lie down, then took off a jade pendant from around his neck and hung it around Bai Zhi's neck.
"This is the family heirloom jade pendant from grandfather, it protects our family, protects our Xingxing. You lie down, grandfather will cook for you, how about some millet porridge?"
Bai Zhi blankly stared at the jade pendant, feeling even more bewildered—this was her jade pendant alright,
But grandfather's words were too strange,
Then another stabbing pain came,
This time, it was an unbearable pain that continued,
like countless needles, pricking inside her head, over and over...
