The Poetry of the Butterfly Princess
Chapter 3: Bai Xue
TENG-TENG..
The bell home from school reverberated loudly. A soft voice called out to him. Opening his eyes, his gaze met a young man who was looking at him from an unusually close distance.
"Changyi, are you okay"
"YAHOOO!!!"
PLAKK!!!
Bai Xue brushed off the face of the young man in front of her reflexively. Finding himself in a place that looked unfamiliar, he ran to the corner of the room, trying to fly out through the window.
However, his body immediately stopped where he realized something strange.
Whatisthis? All the power in my body is gone?!
Bai Xue was flipping through her much different hands now. He touched his face in horror before finally realizing he was not his body.
After all, there was no way she would still be alive after being killed by her own husband. He's already dead. Waking up in this body made him very confused. Plus, he was sure this was not the world he knew but rather an other world that was 180° different.
Am I given a chance to live again?
"U, Ught.. Sick knows! Why did you hit me Changyi?"
Bai Xue turned her body around, looking at the teenager who fixed her slanted glasses. Apparently, he was an acquaintance of the owner of the body.
Changy. That is the name of the real owner of this body. For the first time in his life he heard that name. Sculpting in place, he didn't know what to do.
"M, Sorry.. I am not Changyi," Bai Xue said slowly. "My name is Bai Xue from the Lei empire"
The teenager tilted his head, questioning the sanity of the person who had just slapped him. "You are Bai Xue?" He asked, half ridiculing.
Who in their right mind would believe if someone recognized himself as a fictional character to the point that his cheek was slapped?
It's too silly to be real!
"Don't joke. I could get angry again if you act like this"
"I'm serious! I don't know you at all" Bai Xue maintained her argument and insisted on explaining that she wasn't the owner of the body. However, it does not make the teenager waver in the slightest.
"You done yet?" Ask the teenager, crossing his arms. Bai Xue was silent. His words turned hollow in the ears of the teenager.
Bai Xue was restrained for a moment, looking at the cold attitude of the teenager. A long sigh came out, realizing he had no other choice.
"Wait, I'll come with you"
...***************...
An astonishment grabbed Bai Xue as she set foot in Changyi and the teenager's house. The strange furniture on display and the unique aroma of cuisine that seduces him are spread throughout the house.
—— And not far from the entrance, Bai Xue could find the figure of a middle-aged woman who with her sow stiffened the sandals in her right hand.
"Changhai, Changyi.. Have you gone home?" Ask the woman in a swung tone. Anyone who heard it must have immediately shivered in horror. Even Bai Xue's own instincts made her take a step back, sensing the deadly aura emanating.
"You better not give me a long-winded explanation"
"Ma, Changyi is not feeling well anymore. So we went to the pharmacy first to buy the drug," Changhai explained, forced to utter spontaneous lies in order to avoid the danger of worse than death.
His gaze then moved towards Bai Xue before patting her on the shoulder and saying: "Right, Changyi?"
Bai Xue glanced at the teenager, not catching her point. He stared in confusion for a while, making Changhai's face burn next to his mother's sharp gaze.
"Changyi, are you nauseous?" Changhai asked, breaking the silence. "You're okay, right?" He elbowed Bai Xue while nodding aggressively, begging her impliedly for Bai Xue to nod her head.
However, Bai Xue instead frowned and brushed off Changhai's hand due to the amused feeling his body felt.
"I don't know what you want but if it's about what happened before, then yes, I'm not in a bad shape"
The atmosphere between them turned awkward all of a sudden. Changhai did not expect that reaction from his own sister. Why would he do that?
Changhai bit his lips and immediately embraced the look on his mother's face that looked static from the start. Not daring to risk further to continue the conversation, Changhai thoughtlessly immediately pulled Bai Xue away from there.
"Ma, it looks like Changyi is tilting a bit today! I sent him to the room, right?!"
NAH!
Hurriedly entering her room, her mother turned to look at her son's tightly locked bedroom door. He could only scratch his head in confusion not knowing what he had to say seeing the behavior of his children.
"Basic.. When will the boys grow up?"
This is not the last shenanigans of her children.
