Above the pristine white hospital bed, a dim yellow light hung precariously, swaying slightly.
The girl on the bed was breathing evenly, when suddenly, her long, delicate eyelashes fluttered.
In the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and sat up, gasping for air.
"I... I’m not dead?"
She looked at her hands, her eyes still filled with traces of terror.
"Holy crap, I’m really not dead!"
In disbelief, she reached for her pocket, about to pull out her phone.
"Huh? Where’s my phone?!"
"My wallet is gone too!"
"Where’s my ID?!"
At that moment, a nurse, who had been working nearby, paused and, unable to resist, patted her gently, asking, “Little girl, do you remember your name? Could it be that you''ve lost your memory?”
“Name... name...”
She tapped her head, suddenly remembering, “I’m Lin Chen!”
“Oh right, Auntie, did you happen to see my ID? And my phone and wallet?”
The nurse shook her head, continuing to tidy up the messy counter.
“I heard you fainted on the street and were brought in here by a kind passerby. I didn’t see anything like that on you. Little girl, could it be that you''re confused about your memory?”
Hearing this, Lin Chen seemed to understand something all of a sudden. She froze, staring at her fair and delicate hands in shock.
“Auntie... you... just called me ''little girl''?”
The nurse nodded, glancing at Lin Chen with some pity. “Yes, little girl. Are you sure you''re alright? Should I go get the doctor to check on you?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen slowly turned her head and shakily looked toward a nearby mirror.
In the mirror, a girl with rosy cheeks and porcelain-like skin was gazing back at her. Under the dim light, her skin gleamed softly, and her big, watery eyes were filled with innocence.
What caught the most attention was her waist-length hair, shimmering with golden highlights, tied into two ponytails. Her petite, delicate frame made her appear so lovable that anyone would instantly feel protective of her.
Seeing her reflection, Lin Chen bit her lip, and tears immediately started flowing uncontrollably, like pearls strung together, falling from her long eyelashes.
“Wuwuwu, what kind of bullshit divine intervention is this?! I wanted to be a loli, not become a loli!”
She cried harder and harder, as if deeply aggrieved, her long lashes now drenched in tears.
In an instant, an overwhelming flood of memories seemed to trigger within her, and the girl who had been crying just a moment ago became motionless, staring blankly at the ceiling.
...
In a large office, Lin Chen was sitting in front of a computer, his fingers flying across the keyboard, making a rapid clicking sound.
The light from the screen reflected off his face, his dark, hollow eyes staring blankly at the monitor.
He didn’t know how long he had been sitting there before he finally stood up, stretched, and sighed, “I’m so exhausted. That damn Li Cuihua, that old hag, dumped all her work on me. If it weren’t for the fact that she’s the supervisor, I’d have given her a good piece of my mind.”
He angrily cleaned up his desk, feeling completely dissatisfied.
“I don’t get it, what’s wrong with me? We joined the company at the same time, and now she’s the supervisor while I’m still a lowly employee.”
He picked up his thermos and gulped down the tea, grumbling, “So what if I used to bully you when we were kids? You’ve been holding a grudge for decades?”
Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.The office, once bustling, was now eerily quiet. Lin Chen sighed, grabbed his briefcase, clocked out, and quickly walked out the door.
It was already late at night. Under the starry sky, Lin Chen walked alone down the quiet road.
He was almost 30 and still hadn’t kissed a girl, never experienced a sweet romance.
He had finally found a job with a decent salary, but this damned company kept exploiting him. Not only did he have to do the hardest, most exhausting tasks, but he also had to deal with constant criticism. Not to mention, staying late at the office was a daily routine.
He kicked a tree by the roadside angrily, shouting, “What the hell is this? Is this how my life is going to end? Is this how I, Lin Chen, am supposed to live?”
Maybe Lin Chen’s anger reached the heavens, because the rainwater on the tree, still not fully dried, splashed down on him, drenching him completely.
“Damn it!”
He ripped off his wet suit and cursed at the tree that had “wronged” him.
He cursed for a long time, until his throat was sore and dry, before he finally stopped and dragged his weary body home.
Thinking about how he was nearly 30 and had never even dated a girl, he collapsed to the ground, holding his head in despair, and screamed to the sky, “Heaven, please, give me a cute girlfriend!”
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a petite figure walking on the street, taking small, hesitant steps, her head swiveling around nervously.
She didn’t notice the large truck speeding toward her, honking loudly.
In an instant, Lin Chen’s pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and pushed the unaware girl out of the way.
The truck, with a loud roar, crashed into Lin Chen’s body, dragging him under its enormous wheels.
Watching the girl stand there, unharmed, Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes and sighed,
“I, Lin Chen…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he lost consciousness, his outstretched hands falling limply by his sides.
...
“This is…”
The blinding light around Lin Chen startled him awake. He rubbed his eyes and looked around, finding himself in a world of pure white. He wondered, “Is this… the Western paradise?”
“This is quite something. I didn’t think I, Lin Chen, would ever have such a fate.”
At that moment, Lin Chen glanced up casually, but his body trembled, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.
He raised a hand to his forehead in disbelief and exclaimed, “Are you... a god?”
Above him, a figure appeared, surrounded by blinding white light, radiating an overwhelming glow.
The figure seemed to notice him and waved her hand. A voice echoed in Lin Chen’s mind.
“Human, what do you wish for?”
“God, if you can grant my wish, I... I want to be a loli!”
Lin Chen clenched his fists, responding without a second thought.
“Very well, your wish is granted.”
With a wave of her hand, a blinding light engulfed Lin Chen.
And so… Lin Chen became what he was now.
Thinking about this, she furiously tossed and turned on the bed, “This is infuriating! I’m so pissed off!”
Just then, a timid voice called out to her, “Hello, I found you collapsed on the street, so I brought you here. Are you okay?”
Lin Chen turned to look at him. In an instant, her pupils contracted, and she instinctively took several steps back, covering her mouth in disbelief as she stared at him.
“You... why are you here?!”
