Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

The couple, who had initially looked a bit sullen, quickly comforted her.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go stir-fry another plate of green peppers and eggs. I'll buy ribs to cook tomorrow."

After saying that, Li's mother got up and went into the kitchen.

Mr. Li chimed in, "Yes, Potato is acting a bit strange today. He's usually quite active, but he never jumps onto the table."

So this cat's name is Potato, Li Chu thought to herself without making a sound.

"Could it be that Mom's ribs smelled so good that I even want to eat potatoes? But Dad, can it eat the ribs?"

Li Chu's eyes were filled with tears, and her expression changed from disappointment and grievance to worry.

"Potatoes can't eat this pork rib, but it's okay. It probably just thinks it's fun and won't eat it."

"Really? Then I'll go take a look at it."

After Li Chu finished speaking, she ran to the cat's nest.

Upon seeing the discarded rib on the ground, she shouted excitedly, "Dad, it really wasn't eaten!"

"That's good. I'll go sweep and mop the floor. You can play by yourself for a while."

"Okay dad."

Li Chu patted Potato's back. The little guy had really been wronged. She had only controlled it as a temporary measure.

However, this cat is no ordinary cat; it won't be harmed by ingesting that little bit of salt.

Nothing else happened after dinner, and Li Chu lay down on the bed at 9:30 to try and fall asleep.

It's still a bit too early; she's never gone to bed this early before.

I tried to fall asleep for half an hour, but I still couldn't feel sleepy at all.

At exactly 10 o'clock, a strange noise suddenly came from the closet in the room.

Li Chu pretended to hear but didn't open her eyes.

But the noise grew louder and louder, as if something locked inside the cabinet was struggling.

"Sister, sister, save me!" A child's voice, trembling with tears, rang out in the room.

At the same time, a rich fragrance wafted from the wardrobe.

The scent wafted toward the bed where Li Chu was.

That scent is incredibly alluring; you'd probably be controlled just by smelling it.

Li Chu pretended to turn over, and the breeze stirred up by the blanket dispersed the smell.

The sounds from inside the cupboard kept coming, calling for his sister. When he ignored her, she started crying.

Because Li Chu had muted the sound, she was completely unaffected, and everything was normal.

Since there's no evening self-study session today, and it's Sunday, it's like waking up early, but I still have to go to school tomorrow morning.

This is like entering a world of rules, where you still have to go to school.

In the apartment next door on the same floor, the bathroom light flickers on and off.

Su Changhe, who was taking a shower, found that the hot water had turned cold. He quickly rinsed off the foam and decided not to shower anymore.

Just as he was about to turn off the shower, he saw that the water inside had suddenly turned red.

He remained unfazed, a slight smile on his youthful face, and turned off the shower without any fuss.

The bathroom light went out completely, and at that moment, the door was pounded on forcefully.

One of the rules is that if you hear a knock on the door while you are taking a shower, you should ignore it.

He ignored it, dried himself off, and got dressed.

"Changhe, are you done washing? I need to pee, please open the door quickly."

The voice sounds exactly like Su's father's.

Su Changhe ignored him and continued getting dressed.

After getting dressed, he stood by the window to enjoy the breeze.

The knocking grew increasingly urgent, subtly exerting pressure on the person.

"Changhe, open the door quickly, I really can't hold it in any longer."

"What are you doing in there, you brat? You've been dawdling for so long, I'm about to wet my pants."

"Bang—Open the door, open the door for me."

The door was slammed shut, and the eerie voice outside seemed angry and stopped speaking properly.

"Open the door for me right now, or I'll eat you alive once I get inside."

Su Changhe watched as the faucet in the sink was turned on, and the blood that immediately flowed out began to spread.

He tried to turn it off, but gave up when he found he couldn't turn it.

The sound of banging on the door was accompanied by a mix of coaxing and cursing.

It wasn't until half an hour later that everything finally calmed down.

The lights came back on, and the ground was spotless, as if everything before had been an illusion.

five minutes later--

Su Changhe finally lay down on the bed in the room.

He recalled his own rules in his mind.

First of all, this place looks like the same world as Li Chu.

But he wasn't very familiar with many things he hadn't encountered before.

On the table in the room, in the upper left corner, there was a very strange thing, somewhat like a person but more like a monster.

Its body was red with some silver, its head was also silver and pointed, and its two large eyes and the area on its chest were constantly glowing. (Ultraman)

Everything was fine when I first arrived, but after the room lights were turned off at night, that strange thing started moving on its own.

Su Changhe almost threw something at him, but then he remembered the rules and the prohibition against doing anything that was inappropriate for his status, so he held back.

Seeing that there was no danger, he refrained from making any rash moves.

Thinking of Li Chu, he had specifically stopped her before coming in, just to see if they could be assigned together.

We don't know where she is now.

The next day, Li Chu avoided the breakfast pitfalls and didn't encounter any sweet food, and was successfully taken to school by her father.

After arriving at school, she walked to her classroom.

I had only taken a few steps when I heard someone approaching me from behind, their footsteps were light.

Li Chu didn't react inappropriately; a fifth-grade student isn't that perceptive.

Until the man walked up to her and walked alongside her.

They both glanced at each other's school badges, which showed their names and classes.

Su Changhe wasn't sure if he could understand what was going on.

Seeing the adorable little Li Chu, Su Changhe actually wanted to laugh and even pinch her cheeks.

But remembering that he was still a child, and that he couldn't do anything that was inappropriate for his status, he held back.

Li Chu spoke first: "Su Changhe, you just arrived at school too? Have you finished your homework?"

Upon hearing this, Su Changhe thought of his own rules.

His grades are average; he needs to work hard to improve them.

"I'm not very good at it, can you teach me?"

My self-image is that of someone who loves to have fun but also struggles with studying.

The rules only say that you can't do things that are inappropriate for your status, but they don't say that you have to have the same personality, so you don't need to care too much about that.

"Sure, but you have two assignments due soon, so there's no time to teach you now."

Li Chu's tone was full of implications; it was unclear whether he understood.

Given her image as a top student and her well-behaved personality, she couldn't very well just offer to let him copy her homework.

But copying homework is a bad thing. For someone who is excellent in both character and academics, to offer it would be to ruin their image.

However, copying homework was a very common practice when we were in school.

Su Changhe, having traveled through time, naturally didn't know about the schooling situation here.

He could barely understand even those textbooks; it was quite difficult for him.

Moreover, it wasn't just him who had a difficult time; everyone else, except for Li Chu, faced the same challenge.
