Uneasy daily life

Is it dangerous to get a fishbone stuck in your throat?

A: Getting a fishbone stuck in your throat is a serious matter. Even when asleep, the muscles in the throat continue to move with breathing. Therefore, a fishbone could potentially move with the muscles, travel into the trachea, and even fall into the lungs, causing serious harm. If the fishbone is too large and sharp, even if it's still in the throat, it could puncture a blood vessel or damage internal organs, posing a life-threatening risk. It requires immediate attention and treatment.

Yes! You'll die!

Angelina sat cross-legged on the bed, and couldn't help but swallow. The swallowing motion made the foreign object in her throat feel extremely obvious.

Calm down, it's just a minor problem. First, let's find the time machine... oops! Let's find a solution!

The power of the internet is immense; it quickly filtered out numerous solutions.

Go to the hospital.

It's already past midnight!

If the fishbone is not deep, you can try to remove it with tweezers. Do not try to remove it with your hands, as this will not only make it difficult to remove, but may also cause vomiting or push the fishbone deeper.

Let's try to solve this ourselves first; it shouldn't be anything too serious.

Try drinking vinegar; the vinegar will soften the fishbone, making it easier to dislodge.

Angelina jumped out of bed. Her parents were already asleep. She went to the kitchen in her slippers, poured herself a bowl of vinegar, and gulped it down while pinching her nose...

From the tip of my tongue to my heart, I was instantly overwhelmed by a sour taste, and the fishbone in my throat seemed to have disappeared.

Huh? It worked?!

A twisted smile appeared on Angelina's wrinkled little face, but as the piercing sourness gradually faded, her smile also disappeared...

Swallow your saliva.

It's still there!

Why not?!

Don't try drinking vinegar! This is a completely unscientific folk remedy! Vinegar can indeed soften fish bones, but that requires soaking the fish bone in vinegar for more than fifteen minutes! Can a person drink vinegar continuously for fifteen minutes? Talking about efficacy without considering dosage is irresponsible! The most scientific method is to cough softly, causing the muscles in your throat to vibrate and dislodge the fish bone.

So that's how it is! Ignorant scientists have misled me!

Angelina drank a glass of water to wash away the taste in her mouth, then returned to her room, coughing incessantly with her head down.

"Cough cough cough~ cough cough~ cough cough cough cough? Cough! Cough! Cough cough cough! Cough—hehehe~ cough—uh—uh—"

Hmph, that little fishbone should have been shaken out by now, right?

Angelina coughed for a while, her mouth dry. She subconsciously licked her lips and swallowed. Her eyes widened, and a look of disbelief slowly spread across her face. She raised her right hand to touch her cheek, then moved her fingers down to her neck.

W-w, it feels like it's gone in a little further!

Oh my god! You quack doctor!

Angelina quickly continued searching for a better solution.

If the fishbone is too deep to be removed by conventional methods, a laryngoscopy at a hospital is necessary.

A laryngoscope? What is that? A camera inserted into the throat?

Angelina suppressed the urge to swallow and continued searching, but the more she tried to stop herself from swallowing, the more she couldn't help but want to swallow, and her mouth inexplicably secreted saliva, as if her body was deliberately urging her to swallow...

I swallowed.

The feeling of something stuck in my throat became very noticeable.

Ugh! That darn fishbone!

[With technological advancements, the laryngoscope is no longer inserted directly into the throat. Because the nasal cavity is connected to the throat, the laryngoscope is inserted through the nose, making it easier to access the pharynx. Then, small forceps are inserted through the nose to easily remove the foreign object. This technique effectively avoids the impact of the patient's instinctive reactions on the surgery.]

"?"

Angelina touched her nose blankly, then her throat, and her pupils dilated in shock.

What kind of horrific surgery is this?!

Let's see if there are any other solutions.

[Induce vomiting to expel the fish bones!]

"Wow wow wow..."

I ate dinner for nothing.

The fishbone was still throbbing in my throat.

Gulp... Next one!

[Garnish your mouth, just like brushing your teeth. Hold water in your mouth and gargle continuously; the water and airflow will help remove fish bones from your throat!]

"Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo..."

"Gulu."

Angelina accidentally swallowed the mouthwash.

Perhaps because she had been rinsing her mouth with her head tilted back for too long, she deliberately pushed the mouthwash deeper into the water to help remove the fishbone. As a result, the sudden swallowing caused a strong irritation, and she almost turned her head to vomit into the toilet.

Damn it! Next one!

……

Angelina lay motionless on the bed, her eyes lifeless, like a dying fish on the shore, only occasionally opening her mouth to swallow, proving that she was still alive.

Could it be... could it be that I, a superpowered being, am actually no match for a fishbone, and could even be killed by a fishbone?

Angelina gazed at the darkness outside and unconsciously pulled the blanket around herself tighter. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her.

That's right! I'm a superhuman! I can control gravity, retain memories even across time, and if I'm in a good mood, I might just be able to move the Earth like Superman!

A mere fishbone can be sucked out by simply using gravity to aim at the throat...

Suck……

Angelina stared at her soft, white hands with her mouth agape. After a long silence, she slowly wrapped herself in the blanket and reached out to turn off the light.

Go to sleep.

You might wake up one morning to find the fishbone has magically disappeared.

……

I'm no longer trusting online solutions!

Angelina: o(╥﹏╥)o.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Today's Skin is That of a Cool and Aloof Beauty

"Is the video edited? Once it's edited, send it to the principal so he can check and approve it. Finding a TV station to submit it to is up to the rebellious director..."

[I've been working day and night to try and produce the best possible final product... Also, could you please change your title? What does "rebellious director" even mean? I don't want to be known in the industry as something like a "single director."]

"hehe."

Bai Ying smiled: "If, and I mean if, there were a Frostmourne here, you could take it and defeat any rebellious father. I wonder what the rebellious director would think..."

[Elaborate. 】

"And you still say you're not a rebellious director?"

Bai Ying chuckled sinisterly twice, offering a wicked plan: "That rebellious director has filmed quite a few interviews, hasn't he? Why not film your rebellious father?"

[Taking pictures of old men?]

"As far as I know, Mr. Jiuzhong is the type who achieves success later in life. The rebellious director probably doesn't understand much, since these days family members live in the same place but do their own thing. Mr. Jiuzhong was unknown, without any representative works, and was testing the limits of his life when he happened to meet Yongzhe Plus, a child star. Their collaboration resulted in the wildly popular morning drama 'Jiuzhong,' bringing them both success—a truly remarkable story..."

Bai Ying smiled slyly: "Isn't this a life trajectory full of stories? Why doesn't the rebellious director collect Master Jiuzhong's early works, interview people in the industry who have worked with him before, and then conduct a life interview with the rebellious father directly after making all the preparations, digging deep into those touching stories? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

[Wonderful! As expected of Bai! Once this project is finished, I'll get started, and I'll definitely ask for your help then!]

The rebellious director was overjoyed upon hearing this, his mind opened up, and he spoke with an excited tone as if inspiration was surging in and about to drown him.

As expected of me, the seller of Frostmourne, helping every father realize his dream!

Bai Ying sighed and boasted for a moment, then dialed another number. His expression immediately became calm and composed, exuding a mature and reliable aura: "Principal, I've already notified the director to edit the video and send it to you. Please be ready to receive it... Hmm, don't worry, the program will be broadcast simultaneously... No problem. Once I've finished taking over the student council work, I'll start the next phase of the plan... This year, the Brave Plus will graduate, and next year I'll take over, leading the school to become renowned throughout Chiba and famous throughout Japan!"

"With the academic achievements of both me and Yongzhe, the positive and energetic atmosphere of the school thanks to the promotional video, and the widespread fame spread by Yongzhe Plus and me, we will surely win the title of the number one high school in Chiba. No one can rival us!"

Bai Ying waved confidently at times, and spoke passionately at others. After outlining a grand vision for the future that even the principal found exciting, she ended the call.

Excellent students should learn to paint a rosy picture for the principal. Once my grand plan is complete, Zongwu will surely stand out from the crowd, dominating all ages, becoming the strongest and most powerful force, and creating a glorious future.

Bai Ying hung up the phone and quickly made several more calls. Her expression was nonchalant, her voice imperious, and her words were authoritative: "Meet at the student union office this afternoon. Be prepared for work, arrive on time, and don't be late. Remember to bring some food. We'll get together and discuss the future work..."

"Vice President Hero, remember to make sure the message is communicated properly. If anything goes wrong, you'll be in charge!"

[The student council president, Bai Jun, has such an air of authority. I guess I'll have to sleep alone again tonight. Humph.]

"Vice President, don't let personal feelings interfere with your work! Be proactive, enthusiastic, and loyal! Don't be petty. Ask yourself honestly, if something goes wrong at work, can you sleep soundly at night?"

You stole...

Snapped!

Bai Ying hung up the phone in a flash. Hmph! You think I can't sleep without a soft, warm, and fragrant girlfriend next to me, someone I can poke and touch anytime? It's clearly because you don't have a warm, cozy boyfriend next to you who makes you feel safe and secure that you keep tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep!

I saw it all!

Bai Ying put on a gentle and friendly smile again and made another call: "Eru, are you free this afternoon? I'll let you know when to come over for your official inauguration and to hand over the documents. Also, remember to ask the teacher to cancel the Classical Literature Club. If you want to continue studying classical literature, that's fine too. Just move your things to the student council office..."

The students in Class A were used to seeing someone act differently every time they made a phone call while seated, and had become accustomed to making sarcastic remarks about it.

"On his first day as student council president, Bai was in even better spirits."

One of the girls grumbled and then asked excitedly, "Angelina, during the student council president election, did Bai manage to persuade the principal like she did just now?"

Strictly speaking, that scene wasn't persuasion at all; rather, it exuded an aura of conspiracy and collusion...

Angelina nodded slightly, not really wanting to say anything: "Mm."

"Student Bai really likes 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' he forcibly transplanted the plot and managed to make it sound plausible..."

"Yes."

When you guys get together, do you often complain about his weird ideas?

"almost."

"Class is about to start... Let's go shopping together after school this afternoon, what would you like to eat?"

"casual."

"?"

The girl looked at Angelina, who had a world-weary expression, and said, "Why are you suddenly acting like a stupid guy? You're so clueless about romance. Give me a smile."

"Ha ha……"

Angelina rolls her eyes and smiles.jpg

"You should just stay a static beauty."

……

In the afternoon, club activities began.

The white shadow equipped Angelina with the skill, activating the effect 'King of Bricklaying'!

Before leaving, the senior members of the student council took all their personal belongings with them, and the items inside were neatly categorized and piled up. However, in some strange corners, some forgotten items were inevitably left behind.

A bag of expired potato chips, hidden in a corner by someone.

The tissues, which failed to get into the trash can, rolled under the cabinet.

A comic book that had fallen into the gap between the table and the wall.

Angelina raised her hands expressionlessly, and all the furniture in the student council room flew off the ground, revealing every nook and cranny.

"Not bad, not bad. Based on this skill alone, I would call you the Supreme Emperor of Household Affairs."

Bai Ying gave a thumbs up and tossed a wad of towel to her stand-in.

The stand-in diligently held a towel and vigorously wiped the walls and floors, demonstrating his exceptional paneling skills.

"Any stain is fragile in front of Power A, its speed allows it to fly back and forth in the student council, its high precision allows it to uproot weeds without damaging their roots, not to mention it can fly up and clean the ceiling!" Bai Ying said with satisfaction, "Compared to Killer Queen and the like, this is the only excellent Stand that can make me lie down and not be able to stand up."

Is this how you use superpowers?!

If you think about it carefully, having a stand-in to do this and that for you, so you can just lie in bed and read novels, is really great!
