In the hospital.
The actor gradually regained consciousness.
The vision that greeted him was a snow-white world. The smell of disinfectant that permeated the ward filled his nose.
He woke to a cacophony of human voices. When he opened his eyes, he followed an IV line and saw the IV drip hanging from an IV stand. Nurses surrounded him. When they saw that he was conscious, one of them said excitedly, “He’s awake! He’s finally awake!”
Hua Jin frowned and opened his mouth. His nose and throat were painfully dry. Through his blurry vision, he saw a doctor approaching. “How are you, young lady?” he asked nervously. “Are you feeling unwell, or have any pain or discomfort?”
Young lady?!
The actor opened his mouth and frowned. Although in the past, there were people who would mistake him for a woman when they saw him. Now, though, he was lying in a hospital.
No matter how useless these medical professionals were, surely they have general knowledge of physiology?
The actor closed his eyes and felt the dryness in his throat. He cleared his throat instinctively, but heard the feedback of a strange voice.
“Cough… cough…”
It was a crisp voice, but it was actually a weak sound that only a woman could make.
His eyes suddenly widened. He sat up in the hospital bed and looked around blankly. He opened his mouth again, but suddenly saw a face bearing a dazed expression reflected in a doctor’s glasses.
The actor focused his vision immediately!
His brow furrowed, and he suddenly leaned forward, towards the doctor. The doctor saw his unusual reaction and leaned closer, puzzled.
The actor suddenly reached out and caught the doctor’s face between his hands. The doctor jumped and almost lost his balance. Peering into his lenses, the actor finally got a good look at his own face.
No…
Rather than his own face, that face belonged to… a strange woman. Well, it was not totally unfamiliar! Where had he seen this face before?! But the most important question was, why… had he become a woman?!
The actor reached out and touched his own face as he stared into the lens. The woman did the same.
“…”
This was… too freaking fantastical!
He… he had turned into… a woman!?
The actor was flabbergasted. The doctors noted his series of abnormal reactions and looked at each other nervously.
“What’s going on?”
“The patient seems to be having some mental issues.”
The actor gave a sudden, stiff smile.
Well, I must be dreaming.
Hua Jin pulled his blanket up and calmly lay down on the hospital bed. However, just as he lay down, the back of his hand came into contact with his chest. The strange softness made him sit up in shock!
“My… chest…?!” He looked down in horror. He raised his hand to his chest and rubbed it. The world twisted and spun…
“Calm down!” The actor put a hand to his head and kept reminding himself. “Calm down!”
…
“Calm down, you must calm down!”
Standing in front of the mirror, Liang Yin took a deep breath.
She held onto the mirror tightly, ignoring the fact that she was drenched. Even after standing in front of the mirror for so long, it was still difficult for her to calm her racing heart.
It was too fantastical.
She wasn’t dreaming, was she?!
However, according to science, there was generally no such thing as soul swaps.
