Chapter 1198: Don’t Touch Me!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
While Luo Yuanjun was frozen in shock, Lin Wenwen glared at him and gritted her teeth as she said, “Have you had enough?”
Finally, Luo Yuanjun managed to react and hurriedly retraced his hand, then raised his head to look at Lin Wenwen with guilt. As a result, a chubby fist landed on his face once he raised his head.
Thud!
“Ouch!” Luo Yuanjun screamed as he covered one of his eyes with his hand and squatted in a corner.
Deng Chenfei was twitching his mouth corners when he saw Luo Yuanjun freeze. He wanted to laugh. But in the next second, he watched Lin Wenwen punch him in the face, and then Luo Yuanjun turn around and squat with an eye buried in his palm.
Deng Chenfei was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Lin Wenwen and said to her affirmatively, “You really are not Dong Xinxin, right? You said that time changes people, but Dong Xinxin was just normal less than half a month ago. How did she change so thoroughly within such a short time? Your personality, your habits, you’re like a totally different person.”
Time did change people, but it required time for the changes to happen. Only heavy mental strike or stimulation could cause such big changes within a short time.
“d.a.m.n! d.a.m.n! How dare you hit me in the eye? What if I went blind?” Luo Yuanjun finally recovered from the pain. He sprung up and pointed at Lin Wenwen with one hand as he covered his eye with the other and yelled.
“Don’t worry. Your eyes won’t go blind. I didn’t hit you hard. Next time, don’t touch me when you’re talking to me,” Lin Wenwen said to him coldly, then turned to Deng Chenfei and continued, “If you’re only here to talk this nonsense with me, please leave. I have no time for you. I need to sleep.”
“I… That was an accident…” Luo Yuanjun tried to explain. He felt a little embarra.s.sed and guilty, so he talked with a very m.u.f.fled voice.
“Nonsense? If you’re pretending to be her, make sure you do a good job. From your face, I didn’t even detect one facial expression that Dong Xinxin would have! I asked Dong Lijia, but he wouldn’t tell me a thing. Who are you? What’s wrong with your family? Where is Dong Lijia?” Deng Chenfei looked at her coldly and asked.
He gave Luo Yuanjun a glance, then continued, “Xinxin would never hit anybody! She would only step back shyly when someone offended her like that.”
Lin Wenwen carefully observed Deng Chenfei. He was rather perceptively stubborn. When he believed something firmly, it would be hard to change his mind. He had already realized that Lin Wenwen wasn’t Dong Xinxin. Lin Wenwen figured that he wouldn’t believe her if she kept pretending not to know anything.
She then looked at Luo Yuanjun. Luo Yuanjun was naughty and silly, but as same as Deng Chenfei, he could be quite stubborn when he turned serious about something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t show up in Dong Xinxin’s room together with Deng Chenfei.
She walked to the bed and sat down, creating a huge dent on the mattress. “I am Dong Xinxin,” she said, “Believe it or not. Are you guys going to stay here tonight? I’m gonna sleep.”
It seemed that no matter what they said, she would not give them the answer that they wanted.
Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun glanced at each other, both understanding her meaning. Indeed, they couldn’t linger in her room for too long. They had to leave now. There would be plenty of time for them to figure out the truth anyway.
The two of them turned and headed toward the door. Luo Yuanjun covered one eye as he abruptly turned back, then pointed at Lin Wenwen and said, “Our Fat Ball would never be so violent. You are definitely not her!”
After saying that, he quickly followed Deng Chenfei out of Dong Xinxin’s room.
Lin Wenwen shrugged and said, “Just wait and see. She wants to kick your a.s.s more than I do.”
She stood up and walked to the door to lock it, and then went back to the bed.
That night, she had a dream, in which she saw her sister who was wearing Lu Tianyu’s skin, Lin Hao, Lin Feng, and the others. They were all fighting a difficult battle against those strange creatures that she saw earlier in her mind. The attacks they launched could barely harm those creatures, who kept attacking human beings and biting them. Each person on the scene was facing countless strange creatures. She didn’t see Yuan Tianxing though.
She never saw that purple-skinned man whom she was very concerned about, again.
“What? We need uninfected catmint? Where are we supposed to find uninfected catmint now?”
“But, only the scent of fresh catmint can keep them away…”
“All the plants out there are infected. There is no way we can find uninfected catmint… They are not cats! Why is catmint effective to them?”
“They would be thrilled to smell catmint if they were cats. But in fact, they are afraid of catmint…”
In a lab, two men were talking about catmint.
Lin Wenwen’s dream ceased after that conversation when she woke up in the morning. She wasn’t sure what those men were talking about. Those two men were strangers to her. However, she managed to grasp the information that uninfected fresh catmint was very important to them.
She sat on the bed and closed her eyes, pondering upon what she saw in her dream. That dream felt so real and unreal at the same time.
“Catmint? Does it have something to do with those strange creatures? He said they are afraid of catmint…” Lin Wenwen opened her eyes and got off the bed while murmuring to herself. She knew catmint as a type of plant. Was that dream trying to remind her to bring some uninfected fresh catmint from the past to the future?
No matter what would happen, bringing some fresh catmint back to the past wouldn’t hurt. The two researchers in her dream seemed to have seen a gleam of hope, but had also been pushed toward one hopeless situation from another.
She squinted toward outside; the sun hadn’t risen yet. Anyhow, she brushed her teeth, washed her face, and then tied up her hair before putting on a loose-fitting beach suit designed for men.
The beach suit for men was loose and comfortable enough!
She dressed up and drank a cup of warm water, then put on earplugs and picked up her phone before going out.
Early in the morning, the beach was quiet; only a few people were jogging in the area. She inhaled the fresh air from the sea and did some warm up, and then started jogging along the beach.
Around nine a.m., the others got up as well. Dong Lijia went downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast, where he saw Luo Yuanjun and burst in laughter.
“Hah! Young Master Luo, what happened to you? Hahaha… What did you do last night?” Dong Lijia looked at Luo Yuanjun’s black eye as he sat on a chair and laughed out loud. The latter just silently glanced at him and then turned away.
The others soon all came downstairs. Except for Deng Chenfei, everyone else exclaimed at the sight of his black eye, and asked him what he did last night to get himself a punch in the eye. If he told them that he fell and hit his eyes, no one would believe him.
