hapter 8: The rebirth of 008 was also the beginningAuthor: You Yi MACHINE TRANSLATION

When Jiang Xiwan woke up, she was confused and had a splitting headache. She couldn’t help but want to hold her head with both hands, but something was attached to her right hand. A high-pitched female voice suddenly sounded in her ear, “Wanwan, you’re finally awake. You scared mom to death!” 2Mother? Her mother had passed away when she was in her third year of high school. Who was this person who claimed to be her mother? 2Suddenly, bright red blood, pale people, and trembling lips flashed through her mind … and a large group of people. There was a dark mass of people, making noises that made it hard to breathe … 2It hurt!It was heart-wrenching and suffocating!“Ah!” she couldn’t help but scream. 2The woman next to her was obviously frightened. Her old face was pale and she seemed to be thinking of something. She quickly got up and pressed a button in front of the bed. “Wanwan, Wanwan, what happened to you? What happened to you? Don’t scare mother, Wanwan.” 2The voice was probably extremely anxious, and there was a hint of crying in it, which made Jiang Xiwan stop screaming and look up slowly. 2The woman in front of her looked to be in her fifties, and her face was full of sadness. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was looking at her anxiously.The woman in front of her probably saw that she was looking at her, and couldn’t help but shed two dirty tears. She said with heartache, “Wanwan, where does it hurt? Tell Mommy where it hurts!” 2As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and a middle-aged male doctor and a middle-aged female nurse came in. 2“Doctor, quick, look at my daughter!” The woman hurriedly ran to the doctor again, her face full of anxiety. 2The doctor nodded, walked to Jiang Xiwan’s side, and then asked a few routine questions. Jiang Xiwan only shook her head and nodded. The doctor then came to a conclusion. “Your daughter is fine, and her reactions are normal. She’ll recover after some rest, don’t worry.” He then left with the nurse. 2Jiang Xiwan’s mind was still hazy. Even though her heart ached terribly, she was still confused by the stranger and behavior in front of her. 2The white walls around her had already turned yellow due to age, and the curtains were dark yellow. At this moment, the window was open, and the wind was blowing. The curtains kept shaking. There were two fluorescent lights above her head. The lights were yellow and gave off a pale light. A group of tiny bugs flew around them. 2She lowered her eyes, and her big eyes became filled with mist. 2Her head hurt so much but she couldn’t help but touch it with her left hand. She could clearly feel a bandage on her head and pressed on it. 2It hurt! It was a heart-wrenching pain! 2“Wanwan, what are you doing!” The woman was scared and hugged her. She cried, “Wanwan, don’t scare mommy, Wanwan.” 2“You …” she opened her mouth and let out a hoarse sound. 2She remembered that she was clearly killed by Su Nuanyu … 2There was only a bump on her head, and her hands and feet were fine. Most importantly, she appeared in a dilapidated hospital, and there was a woman she didn’t know who kept calling herself her mom. 2“Wanwan, you scared Mommy to death!” When she spoke, the woman started crying very miserably, “Mommy thought you … thought you …” 2She sobbed uncontrollably.Jiang Xiwan pushed the crying woman aside. 2The woman was stunned for a moment before she let go of Jiang Xiwan and wiped her tears away. “It’s good that you’re okay. It’s good that you’re okay. Don’t go to that so-called TV station to be an intern anymore. You’re an intern reporter, not an assistant. Such a big chandelier fell on your head. I’m so glad you woke up.”As she said that, tears started to fall again. 2Jiang Xiwan was puzzled. What TV station intern? What chandelier? She opened her mouth and wanted to ask a lot of questions. Jiang Xiwan looked at the woman who kept talking in front of her. She opened her mouth and only managed to squeeze out a few words after a long time. “I was an intern at the TV station, and then a chandelier fell on my head?” 2The woman nodded. “Yes, that hateful TV station. You’re obviously an intern reporter, but they actually made you do odd jobs!” 2Jiang Xiwan couldn’t say anything else. The pain in her head, the pain in her heart, and all kinds of doubts were intertwined in her mind. 2She looked at her wrist. She remembered that Su Nuanyu had injected her with a drug before cutting her wrist. But now … 2Although she was confused, based on the current situation, she was like a monster, possessing this girl who was also called “Wanwan.” This kind of situation was like a time travel TV series she had shot before. However, in the script at that time, she had traveled from the modern era to an ancient one, yet now she was still in a relatively modern time period. 2Was It because even the heavens pitied her that she was allowed to live a new life? 2As time passed, the entire ward slowly became deserted. After a long time, the woman asked if she was thirsty. However, her heart was in a mess at the moment. She did not hear the woman’s question clearly and only nodded. 2The woman dipped a cotton swab into boiling water and applied it on her lips, repeating it a few times. At first, she was a little conflicted, but in the end, she could not resist the woman’s ardent care. 2After a long time, she calmed down and asked, “Where’s my phone?” 2The woman was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and nodded. She walked to a cabinet, opened a drawer, took out a tattered bag, and took out a small keyboard device that had been discontinued for many years. 2Jiang Xiwan was stunned for a moment, but then she looked at the broken environment around her, and her head hurt. 2She took the phone and opened it. There was actually a password, and she couldn’t help but feel upset. She simply threw the phone aside and closed her eyes to rest.When the woman saw that Jiang Xiwan didn’t speak anymore, she also remained quiet and didn’t disturb her. 2In the blink of an eye, the night flew by.Jiang Xiwan was woken up by the bright morning sun. At that time, the woman she saw last night was sleeping on her right side. Her eyelids were black and blue. 2Jiang Xiwan sighed.The woman instantly woke up. “Wanwan, you’re awake. Are you hungry? Mommy will buy you your favorite dumplings.” 2Jiang Xiwan shook her head. “No need.” Right now, her heart was still in a mess and she had no appetite at all. 2The woman nodded. “Then do you want some milk?” 2Jiang Xiwan still shook her head. “Is there a TV? I want to watch some TV.” Jiang Xiwan had already calmed down, and the first thing she needed to do was to figure out information about the world around her. 2The woman shook her head, and then said to her, “If there’s no TV, is the newspaper okay?” 2Jiang Xiwan nodded. “Yes.” As long as there was information, she wanted it. 2Then, the woman walked out, and before long, she came back with a newspaper in her hand. 2Jiang Xiwan took the newspaper, but after flipping through a few pages, she frowned. This newspaper was a hospital newspaper, and it was full of academic papers. Even if there was gossip, it was a story about a girl who accidentally got pregnant and then came to this hospital to have an abortion. Jiang Xiwan was very disappointed, so she casually flipped through a few pages and threw it aside. 2The woman saw that Jiang Xiwan only flipped through a few pages. “Is it not good?” 2Jiang Xiwan didn’t answer.The woman saw Jiang Xiwan’s listless look and turned to leave the ward. Jiang Xiwan glanced at her, but she didn’t care. After all, she was currently in a panic.This strange body, this strange environment, what had happened to her? 2She had no clue!Before she knew it, more time had passed quietly. She felt a sense of hunger in her stomach. When she came back to her senses, she realized that the woman had come back after a long time. 2A rustling sound came from outside her door. 2Jiang Xiwan turned her head slightly. After a long time, she saw that the woman and a nurse were carrying a television set into the television cabinet. The nurse turned around and saw that Jiang Xiwan was awake. She gave her a sideways glance. “You’re not young anymore. Why are you still so willful? Would it kill you to watch less television for one day? Don’t you know that your mother is old and her legs aren’t healthy?” 2“Miss Nurse, thank you for your help. I thought it was quite boring to sit in this ward all the time, so I brought a TV set over to watch a TV series.” The woman had just moved the TV set and was still breathing heavily. She couldn’t catch her breath. 2The nurse didn’t say anything more and left on her own.Jiang Xiwan ignored the nurse’s rebuke and just looked at the woman. She couldn’t help but think of her deceased mother and her eyes turned red.“Wanwan, what do you want to watch?” 2Jiang Xiwan was still immersed in her grief when she heard the woman’s caring voice.Jiang Xiwan came back to her senses. “Just show some news.” 2“Ah? Oh!” The woman knew that her daughter studied journalism, so it was normal for her to want to watch this kind of program, so she found a news channel for Jiang Xiwan. 2“Then watch some TV. Mom will buy you some food.” 2Jiang Xiwan nodded.The woman put on a serious news channel. Jiang Xiwan looked at the logo and found it familiar. It was the idiotic design unique to TV Station B. A huge weight seemed to have been lifted from her chest. 2She hadn’t disappeared to some random place. She was still living in her original world. She looked at the bottom of the screen: July 20th, 2015. It had been 20 days since the day of her accident! 2A full 20 days! How many things had happened? Not to mention the fact that it was the entertainment industry, where the wind and clouds could change in an instant! 2What happened to her body?Was it already … 2And that woman!She didn’t dare to think about it anymore, afraid that she would collapse!The footsteps outside the door sounded again. Not long after, the door opened and three women came in. One of them was holding a fruit basket, another was holding flowers, and the other was holding a bag of snacks.“Jiang Xiwan, I heard from Auntie that you’re awake. That’s great!” The petite woman holding the flowers in her hands said in surprise with her eyes sparkling. Then, she stuffed the flowers into Jiang Xiwan’s hands. 2In an instant, the fragrance assailed her nose.Jiang Xiwan was puzzled. Didn’t she transmigrate? Firstly, she did not know these people at all. Secondly, she had looked in the mirror and there was a completely unfamiliar face in it! 2But why was she also called Jiang Xiwan?The same name?“Zhou Liqing, can you not be so surprised? Xi Wan just woke up and needs to rest!” The tallest girl among the three girls added speechlessly. She put the snacks in her hands by the bedside, then went up to take the flowers that the girl had stuffed into Jiang Xiwan’s arms and put them on the bedside table. Then, she looked at Jiang Xiwan with concern. “Xiwan, are you feeling better?” 2The petite woman named Zhou Liqing pouted and said with tears in her eyes, “I’m just worried about Xiwan. She’s been unconscious for more than half a month and finally woke up. How can I not be excited?” 2“Okay, be quiet.” The girl who had not spoken all this time smiled. 2Jiang Xiwan looked at the three people in front of her and knew that they might be good friends with this body. She could not help but smile when she saw them staring at her with warm and caring eyes. They seemed to have a deep friendship.Good friends? Haha, is there really such a thing as friendship in this world? 2“You guys are here, take a seat.” She didn’t know them, but she would still invite them seriously. 2The woman named Zhou Liqing sat on Jiang Xiwan’s bed. “Xiwan, the dorm is so quiet when you’re not here, so you have to get well soon.” 2The tall girl also nodded. “But you were really unlucky this time. The chandelier at the banquet actually fell on your head. This probability is probably the same as if you won the lottery.” 2“But I think the unlucky one is the big star whose name is the same as yours.” Zhou Liqing who was sitting on the side immediately interrupted. “She was just one step away from the Grand Slam and her best friend took the award. I’m telling you, even if you think about it, you know that the Golden Age Awards must have had some dirty tricks up its sleeve. But big stars are really disgusting. They don’t behave well in their private lives. Look at that indecent video. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. I always thought that she was cold and indifferent, but I was wrong about her feelings. Indeed, a star’s appearance and reality can not be equated. But in the end, she committed suicide. Sigh, it’s a pity that she died like this. After all, her acting skills were so good and she created so many classics. I don’t know if there’s anyone more beautiful than her.” Zhou Liqing said regretfully. Her voice also dropped a bit. 2“Wanwan, Wanwan, what’s wrong?” The woman who had been quiet all this time looked at Jiang Xiwan with concern. 2
