Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

After shopping for a week straight, Liu Yuxi didn't know how much she had bought. All she knew was that she wouldn't be allowed to go shopping again for at least six months, since her soles were worn down.

Early on New Year's Eve, Liu Yuxi took a bunch of sunflowers and a bunch of dreamy bubble (yellow multi-headed roses) from the Space Flower Shop, put them in vases, and placed them on the coffee table and dining table.

Life needs a sense of ritual; even if you live alone, you should learn to please yourself.

She loves yellow flowers—they're vibrant and passionate; just looking at them is like seeing sunlight streaming through her eyes and warming her heart.

In the afternoon, while answering various New Year's greetings calls, Liu Yuxi hummed a song and cooked herself a big meal—the usual ten dishes! Braised pork belly, chicken stew with mushrooms, braised prawns, ginger duck, sweet and sour carp, a platter of preserved meats, stir-fried chrysanthemum greens with preserved pork, sizzling potato slices, a bowl of Zhuangmu dumplings, and a bowl of tofu with scallions.

Sweet and sour carp and tofu with scallions are not eaten on New Year's Eve; they should be saved for after the first day of the Lunar New Year, symbolizing abundance and good fortune year after year.

At 4:30 pm, Liu Yuxi started eating her New Year's Eve dinner. She had work to do that night, including making dumplings! Otherwise, what would she eat for dinner and the morning of the first day of the new year?

After eating, Liu Yuxi started kneading dough and mixing dumpling filling. She didn't care if there was too much or too little; if she didn't want to make any more, she could just throw the filling into her spatial storage.

While in high spirits, Liu Yuxi prepared three kinds of fillings: beef, shepherd's purse and pork, and chives, eggs and vermicelli.

With preparations complete, it was time for the Spring Festival Gala to begin. We made dumplings while watching the show. If the program was good, we focused on watching TV; if it wasn't, we focused on making dumplings.

Since there wasn't enough room on the table, she stored them in her online space. By the time the party ended, Liu Yuxi didn't know how many dumplings she had made. Anyway, she had used up the whole bowl of dough, but there were still quite a few of the three kinds of fillings left.

I left 60 dumplings outside, enough for her to eat for five or six meals, and put the rest, along with the filling, into the storage space.

I cooked eight dumplings. Handmade dumplings are different from frozen dumplings. You can eat sixteen frozen dumplings in one meal, but you can only eat ten handmade ones.

It's the middle of the night now, and she should go to sleep soon. It's not a good time to eat too much. She ate her New Year's Eve dinner early, and she's really hungry now, otherwise she wouldn't have eaten at all.

She slept soundly through the night. The next day, Liu Yuxi got up at around 8 a.m., took a set of winter Hanfu from her spatial storage, and prepared to go out and cause a sensation in the streets!

It was only 2012! If you wore Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) with matching hairstyle, hair accessories, and makeup, you'd be the most stylish person on the street! It's Chinese New Year! The more festive, the better!

Sure enough, from the moment she went downstairs and left the residential area, the whispers of passersby who saw her along the way could still be faintly heard in her ears, even after she had already walked past.

The first thing many people do when they see her is look around to see if she's filming a program. Once they're sure there aren't any cameras around, they start chattering with their companions.

People nowadays aren't as open-minded as people in later generations. If they want to take a picture, they'll only wait until Liu Yuxi walks past and then take a picture of her back. They always feel it's impolite to take a picture of someone's face without their permission.

Of course, there's never a shortage of "social bullies." When Liu Yuxi was shopping at a large supermarket, she was about to go in for a look when a little girl abandoned her companion and rushed straight up to her.

Yes, it really did dart up in front of Liu Yuxi in a flash, almost startling her.

"Sister, your clothes are so pretty! Are you an actress? Are you filming some kind of show?" The girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, asked Liu Yuxi with amazement in her big, dark eyes, while looking around.

"Haha, little girl, you have to call me auntie. No need to look for me. I'm not filming a TV show. This is just my personal hobby."

Although the little girl appeared suddenly, she was very tactful. She stayed a meter away from Liu Yuxi, and even though the affection in her eyes was almost overflowing, she did not get any closer.

This is a safe distance. Many people are not used to others getting too close to them, especially strangers. A distance of one meter will not make people feel like their private space has been invaded.

So Liu Yuxi was happy to chat with the young girl for a bit.

"But you look so young, sister! Can I take a picture with you? I love your outfit; I've only ever seen it on TV dramas before, never in real life!"

The little girl kept talking, and when she asked for a photo, she even put her hands together in a pleading gesture, with a hint of trepidation in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Liu Yuxi would refuse.

"Sure, but do you have a camera?" Taking a picture is no big deal. She's wearing full makeup, and nobody knows her.

"Yes, yes, I made plans to go out with my best friend today. My friend brought her camera, so I called her over." The little girl was very happy, replying while waving to her companion.

Actually, her phone can also take pictures, but the phone's resolution is not as good as a camera's; otherwise, she and her companion wouldn't have brought a camera with them.

Following her hand, Liu Yuxi saw another round-faced girl walking towards them. "Hello, sister!" The round-faced girl greeted Liu Yuxi first, and of course, her eyes also fell on Liu Yuxi's clothes.

"An'an, take a picture of me and my sister!" The big-eyed little girl said as she stood next to Liu Yuxi, gesturing to her companion to take the picture quickly!

"Okay, okay!" An'an quickly picked up the camera and started taking pictures of the two of them. She didn't put the camera down until she had taken three pictures. "Okay, Qingqing..." An'an knew Qingqing well. She knew that Qingqing didn't know this older sister when she came over, but she also really wanted to take a picture with her. However, she was too shy to ask.

"Do you want to take photos too?" Seeing the longing in her eyes, Liu Yuxi took the initiative to ask.

"Is it okay?" An'an asked expectantly.

"Of course, come on over!"

"Ah, great! Qingqing, here you go!" An'an cheered softly, then handed the camera to Qingqing, straightened her clothes, and stood next to Liu Yuxi.

After taking a photo with An'an, the two thanked Liu Yuxi, saying, "Thank you, sister!"

"You're welcome. I'll be going now. You guys go have fun!" "Goodbye, sister!"

After saying goodbye to the two, I glanced at the crowds in the shopping mall and decided against going in. I'll just wander around the streets instead.

Liu Yuxi wandered around outside all day. When she got tired, she would rest for a while in a shop that was still open on the street. Every now and then, people would come up and ask if she could take a photo with them.

Liu Yuxi readily accepted all offers and was very cooperative, believing that "giving roses leaves a lingering fragrance on the hand!" She didn't have to give anything in return, yet she could bring joy and emotional value to others—why not? And she truly enjoyed it!

In the evening, Liu Yuxi returned home. It took quite a while to take off her clothes. After washing up and changing into her home clothes, Liu Yuxi collapsed on the sofa and watched TV.
