2 Oh..I'm Alive

Luo Feng woke up dazed the next day in the same place where he collapsed. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and did his morning routine. He gets his clothes, brushes his teeth getting ready to study. But when he opened his phone, as usual, the date was wrong. It was 3 days in advance. He thought that he probably changed it for some reason and went to the settings. It was really 3 days already. He had been asleep for 3 days.

The shock was the first thing, then he started worrying.

[Frick, I missed 3 days of studying...] was all he can say under his breath.

He texted his Yang Cai [Where are you already?]

[I have been studying alone since sleeping beauty doesn't want to pass the university entrance examinations, and didn't want to meet with his 'friend' for 3 days]

With a response like this Luo Feng was speechless. Damn Yang Cai is going to be mad at me for something I don't even understand myself.

[Why did you even skip out of studying, without even telling me?!]

Would he understand, would he believe what really happened?

[I kind of accidentally slept for three days??]

[What are you talking about? Is this just an excuse to not study with me? I visited your house for the past three days and your grandmother just said 'you weren't home yet and were studying with a friend!' ]

What is going on... I'm here at my house, but why does he say I wasn't....

I looked around again and was sure it was my house. I went outside and saw my grandmother.

[Ahma, I just woke up and I need to leave in a while to study]

[Oh, when did you get here? My memory must be messing with my old age. You must have been here. Have you eaten?]

[Ahma, I was here the whole time, and no, I think I would just buy some breakfast in the convenience store]

[You should be more careful shoti, the food in the convenience store is very unhealthy, your parents will be mad if you become weak. Next time eat my black chicken, very healthy.]

I really love my grandmother, these are the moments that I actually feel blessed even if I'm poor. The conversation was odd but I didn't think much of it.

[Bye Ahma, I have to go to study now!] Luo Feng says with a slight smile on his face, lifting an arm to wave.

[Shoti, be careful, and stay safe. Come back home early so we can eat black chicken]

Everything was getting weird but I didn't think much of anything. Maybe they just didn't see me in my room and I just kept falling asleep. Yeah... it was probably that.

Luo Feng brought out his smartphone and texted Yang Cai, [Will you study with me today, please...?]

He waited a while seeing that Yang'er saw his text and was going to reply. He might still have bad feelings, but I really did accidentally sleep 3 days somehow.

[Will you actually come?]

The response hits Luo Feng hard, did he really make his friend feel this way.

[Yes..]

With the message being seen, Luo Feng saw Yang Cai's hesitation in texting back.

[I will even buy you a cup of coffee?]

Maybe he might take the bait. We are after all broke students trying to study from sunrise to sunset.

[Fine...but you better give me at least a medium size]

Luo Feng smiled a little, relieved that they can at least meet up to study.

After a week of studying with Yang Cai, his grudge slowly disappeared and their friendship was mending. But he only had a week left to study for the exam, barely two-thirds of the way through the contents.

His body also couldn't help but cry out with fatigue, nausea, and lack of sleep. But he really needed to get that university or he would be put down in his family, and all of the hard work his parents left the house for would be put to waste. he would become a mistake with his grandmother's disappointment crushing him.

STUDY...STUdy...Study....stu...

With the words repeating in his head, his mind getting blurrier

Just....three more days.....I'm almost done...

His eyes as heavy as rocks, slowly his body just stopped functioning. His breathing slowed and once again he felt it. That familiar feeling something in his soul. But it wasn't there, there was no barrier. He can feel every connection in his body, and with that, it starts.

Luo Feng didn't know what was happening. The third integration was starting. Slowly from the tips of his finger, it spread. The pain was spreading, it was indescribable pain. He can feel it start speeding up, like a bullet train of pain just going through every connection in his body. Until suddenly everything just stops.

There wasn't any pain, nothing...

BING!!
