A life of clearness

Chapter 159: Is it a dream? Or not? Transformed into a butterfly (Part )

The air was filled with the smell of rain and damp earth. Streams of water dripped from the eaves and hit the mossy stone slabs.

There were subtle bird calls hidden in the dense leaves, and dogs barking in the distance.

Rong Qing sat on the doorstep, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other. The bowl was full of white rice, covered with vegetables and meat, and emitting hot white steam.

However, she couldn't eat because she knew where she had returned to, and she also knew...what would happen next.

Rong Qing is now in a very strange state. She has returned to the past, returned to her own body, and has not lost any memory.

"This should be the first level of illusion." Rong Qing sighed, "But I don't have any strength to break free."

No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless. You just have to stay awake.

However, Rong Qing did not find it strange. Since it was an illusion created by fate, it was normal for it to dig deep into her memory without her knowing. Instead, she should be thankful that at least she was still conscious now.

However, the past self is the main one, and the present self is the secondary one. This body has a very strong inertia and must follow the route of memory.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time." This was all Rong Qing could think of.

……

"Rongrong, your mother just called and said that she and your Uncle Qin will be here soon." A woman's voice came from the dim room.

As she walked towards Rong Qing, she pressed the switch on the wall. The incandescent light flickered a few times, then illuminated the room.

"Second Aunt." Rong Qing turned around and looked at the woman who was approaching. She was holding a cell phone in her hand, and the screen was still glowing, obviously she had just hung up.

"Why don't you eat anything? You won't have time to eat later, and the food in the service area is expensive and not tasty."

Rong Qing had no choice but to take a few bites of rice, then put down her chopsticks and shook her head, "I can't eat anymore."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and put the leftovers back on the table, "Second Aunt, I'm going to go back to my room and see if anything is missing."

"Yeah." Second Aunt responded and watched Rong Qing return to her room. "Then I'll go to the village entrance to pick them up first."

"Okay." Rong Qing in the room responded.

……

A black car was parked in an open space in front of a big tree under the guidance of my second aunt. The tires were covered with brown mud spots due to the long drive and rainy weather.

A man and a woman got out from the front seat of the car.

Through the rain and fog, Rong Qing stood on the steps and looked at the woman's face from afar. It was too blurry...

The woman seemed to glance at her from a distance, but did not come closer. Instead, she pulled her second aunt and stuffed a red envelope into her pocket.

"Hey, what's this for? We're all family." Second Aunt was about to return the red envelope.

Rong Lili held her arm to prevent her from moving. "Buy some food and daily necessities for your Tongtong. These are not for you, but for him."

"He's just a little kid, he doesn't need so much."

Rong Qing glanced at the people pushing and refusing the red envelopes, and then looked away, because the man had already run over in a few steps in the rain and fog.

"Rongrong, right? I'm your Uncle Qin." The man said with a smile, glanced at the two large suitcases beside Rongqing, picked up one of them and went to the car.

Rong Qing was about to move the remaining suitcase when Qin Jianjun stopped her, "Uncle will move it, you just stand here."

Rong Qing then let go and watched Qin Jianjun go back and forth twice to put the suitcase into the trunk.

Both parties were prepared, so Rong Qing didn't have to do anything but get in the car and set off.

Before leaving, Second Aunt secretly stuffed two pink banknotes into Rong Qing's pocket.

Rong Qing had her hands in her pockets, so her second aunt stuffed the banknotes into her palms.

"Don't forget to buy something for your sister when you get there."

This is what my second aunt told me. Rong Qing raised her head and gave the other person a deep look.

"Yeah. I know." Rong Qing suddenly felt bitter in her heart. This was something that the Rong Qing of the past would never experience. Because only the Rong Qing of the present would understand the deep meaning contained in the instructions of her second aunt.

Unfortunately, at that time, Rong Qing could only hear the anger that was suppressed in her heart.

……

After getting in the car, Rong Lili followed Rong Qing and sat in the back seat.

"Have an orange?" She took out a plastic bag filled with golden oranges from the tray behind the seat.

"No need." Rong Qing shook her head.

"Mom will peel it for you." Rong Lili took out a tissue and peeled the orange while talking to Rong Qing, "We will go to school to get your schoolbag first. Then we will go directly to the highway."

A whole peeled orange was handed to Rong Qing.

"I said, I don't want to eat." Rong Qing reiterated.

"Eat it, peel it."

"Need not."

"Rongrong, if you don't want to eat it, then give it to uncle?" Qin Jianjun, who was in the driver's seat, interrupted to smooth things over.

"I don't want to eat anyway."

So, Rong Lili fed the orange slices into Qin Jianjun's mouth one by one.

"The orange tastes good, thank you, wife."

"Then I'll peel another one for you?" Rong Lili smiled.

"We're almost at Rongrong School. Let's talk about it after we get on the highway." Qin Jianjun turned the steering wheel and turned into another road according to the navigation.

……

The public schools in the towns were built in recent years and cover a large area.

Qin Jianjun and Rong Lili went to the teacher's office, while Rong Qing walked into the classroom familiarly and found her seat.

Rong Qing stuffed the textbooks, homework and notes in the desk into her schoolbag one by one.

The classroom without a teacher was obviously in a small commotion because of Rong Qing's arrival.

"Rongrong, are you coming back?" Classmate Liu Ziyi tapped Rongqing's arm.

"If he goes to a big city to study, he will only come back during the holidays, so you won't be able to see him, right?" The boy in the back seat answered for Rong Qing with a smile.

"What's wrong with big cities?" Liu Ziyi looked at the boy unhappily.

"What's wrong with a big city?" The boy at the next table pushed his glasses up his nose. "That's the provincial capital, thank you."

"Anyway, I won't change my QQ number." Rong Qing said to Liu Ziyi, "You can find me on QQ if you have any questions."

"Don't retreat from that class either."

"Well, no." Rong Qing nodded, "Besides, I will come back to see you when I have the chance."

Rong Qing looked at Liu Ziyi's face carefully. She knew that this was the last time she would see this classmate.

In fact, she never came back. She just said it to make everyone look good and not be responsible.

Young people are always very sensitive about separation. Liu Ziyi's eyes turned red after she had only said a few words.

Rong Qing remained silent and did not say anything else, just focusing on packing her things. The others also stopped talking when they saw that the main person stopped talking.

Soon, Liu Ziyi began to sob softly. Rong Qing took out a pack of tissues from her schoolbag and handed it to her, but she was indifferent in her heart.

It had always been Rong Qing's own idea to leave here.
