Surprise! Our first of two updates for today. 8D
Sharp shrills of
the ambulance, strangers wearing white coats and white hats shimmy across my
vision—it’s blurry again
as if there is a layer of white gauze over my eyes.
Am I still alive?
“Sun Le. Can you hear me? Sun Le?” A
doctor bends over and asks me.
Who? Sun Le? No. I’m not Sun Le. I’m Xiao
Yu.
“Can you see me, Sun Le? Try blinking your
eyes if you can.”
I am NOT Sun Le!
I want to shout it out: I AM NOT Sun Le!
I’m Xiao Yu who got pushed off the building!
That’s right. I fell from the seventh
floor and the loss of gravity made me faint. Thank goodness I did so I didn’t
have to watch as I hit the ground.
And then? Was I saved?
“Patient falling into coma. Prepare
sphygmometer!”
Where am I? It’s a fairly narrow, white
space. Unknown instruments and devices are dangling in front of me. Am I in an
ambulance? But my mind’s perfectly fine. Could it be…that my conscience has
been separated from my body?
“Kids these days. Jumping off seven
storeys like that. Don’t they think of their families at all?”
No. I was pushed off. I didn’t jump
myself. I didn’t-.
“Decreasing heart rate! Prepare FR2!”
“I think this kid’s an orphan. I mean, the
school didn’t mention any family when I asked them to notify his family, so all
the charges will be billed to the school.”
There seems to be two vastly different
conversations going on beside me. One consists of the doctor repeating stuff
like ‘BP,’ ‘pulse rate’ and ‘ECG’ as though it is the
end of the world while the other is a casual chat about some indistinguishable
topic. The topic seems to be me.
I’m not an orphan though. My parents might
be abroad but that doesn’t mean I don’t have family! I want to retort, to talk
back, but it’s as if I’ve been frozen. I won’t even budge, let alone talk.
“Patient has stopped breathing! Shock
now!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
My body jerks wildly along with the shocks
but I can’t feel a thing, no pins and needles from the electric current and no
feeling of a beating heart.
Is this really my body? Or maybe…I’m
already dead and my spirit is quietly watching as people try to resuscitate me?
“Sun Le! You’re still young! You’ve a long
way to go! Don’t give up!”
Boom! Boom!
I SAID I AM NOT SUN LE!
“Patient resuscitated!”
“BP on the rise!”
“Stop the defib!”
“This kid’s lucky. Normally a fall from
seven storeys means DRT.”
“He might just pull through.”
I might just pull through? I…I’m not dead?
Suddenly, my sensation rushes back to life
and bone-splitting pain shoots through my body. I can already feel the doctor’s
hands on my body, poking things in, rubbing and pressing. I gulp for air,
pulling in as much as I can.
I want to live! I don’t want to die! I
want to live!
“Pulse rate normal!”
“Sun Le! Hang in there! You’re gonna pull
through!”
Yes! I want to live! I don’t want to die!
No, I do not!
For a moment, I can’t tell who I am. Am I
Sun Le? Or am I Xiao Yu? This strong yearning for life, whose is it? Xiao Yu’s?
Or Sun Le’s?
The ambulance stops and the doctor and nurses rush me
to the operating room. I can feel my chances of survival increasing and so is
the possibility of making it out alive. I know I’m going to live. I’m not going
to die!
I’m so happy I could cry. God, thank you. Thank you
for giving me another chance. I will do the best to live my life and never let
it go to waste.
Who is the one repenting? Who is the one praying to
God? Is it Xiao Yu? Or is it Sun Le?
The door to the operating room has been opened.
Mask-wearing doctors start working, tossing away piece after piece of bloody
swabs. I listen carefully to the regular beeps from the ECG and feel joy from
the bottom of my heart.
“Dad! Can can’t wait any longer! He must undergo
surgery now!”
Who’s that talking?
“The university student that got brought in just now
is an orphan, right? No one would notice! What’re the chances of surviving a
seven-storey fall? No one would suspect a thing!”
What’re you saying?
“Dad! Can needs a kidney. He can’t wait another
second! That student’s blood type is a perfect match! We couldn’t have asked
for anything better! No one would ever know. No one would ever find out. We’ll
offer to pay for the cremation of his body on the hospital’s behalf afterwards.
Surely, the school would be glad to have us pay for it. That way our tracks
will be covered! Let’s not hesitate anymore!”
Wait a minute…. Who are you talking about?
This is the operating room. There are only the
surgeons’ muffled orders and the beeps of machines. Then whose emotional voice
was that? Where did it come from? Or should I say, who was making it audible to
me?
Suddenly, the door is opened and in comes a man
dressed in scrubs. He quietly speaks with the main surgeon. The surgeon
hesitates, the man says something else, and only then does the surgeon nod. The
man then leaves.
I instinctively feel a bit restless and scared. What
is this ominous feeling?
The world before my eyes starts spinning, brightening
and dimming. My eyelids feel heavier and heavier as if it’s filled with
lead.
I mustn’t sleep! I know I will never get
my eyes open again if I let them close now. But…what the hell is going on? Why
has it become like this?
I use all my efforts to open my eyes and my muscles
get so sore I start tearing up. The tears are blood red, however. My vision is
a coat of crimson. There’s red, and more red—a life’s worth of red.
And then, my eyes no longer feel leaden. I also
realise that the machine that indicates my vitals has long stopped beeping. The
people in the room leave one by one. The doctors have left. The nurses have
left.
But what about me? I’m
still waiting for you to resuscitate me.
A few other people walk in.
They’re dressed the
same as the doctors from earlier but I don’t feel one bit enthusiastic.
Instead, I feel freezing cold as if I’m in the Arctic.
“The director’s grandson needs a kidney. Quickly, now.
I don’t think he can wait any longer.”
I see them sticking a shiny scalpel into my body.
Desperately, I want to scream but I can’t make a sound.
“What do we do with the body?”
“I was told to cremate it ASAP.”
“Hold on. I have a classmate who was willing to purchase
a cornea at high above market price a couple days ago. This kid’s dead anyway—let’s not let it go to
waste.”
“You sneaky son of a bitch.”
“Hahaha, I could say the same about you!”
Who are they talking about so casually, so jokingly?
Who are they cutting up so carefully and precisely?
Is it…me?
But…I’m a person. A living human being. How could
they? How could they do such a thing? Nah…I must have misunderstood.
“Eh, screw it. Let’s just think of it as recycling.
Take him for all he’s got while he’s still 30-minutes fresh.”
“We’ll be saving the hospital so much budget that we
should ask the director for a bonus.”
“Go get a few more guys in here. I don’t want this to
go to waste ‘cause we were too slow.”
“On it.”
No. I want to live. Help. Someone come save me from
these crazy people.
“Now, won’t you look at that!”
They point at me and yelp in surprise.
“Why’s he crying? Isn’t he dead?”
“Stop scaring yourself. We’re doctors for god sakes.
Hurry up! I have a date with my girlfriend after this.”
Tears of hatred and injustice stream out the corner of
my eye. Drip. Drop. The heavens gave
me a second chance yet it has been taken away by these heartless people. They
never asked for my opinion, never asked for my consent, and just acted so
coldblooded and ignorantly as though they were merely squishing an ant.
I’ve been wiped out of existence just like that. No
one noticed anything. No one knows that I’ve been murdered. Not a soul knows.
Still, my body gets placed on the guillotine while my executioners laugh and joke
as they cut me apart piece by piece in exchange for dirty money.
Why? Do I not deserve to live anymore just because of
one heated decision I’ve made? Do I not deserve the respectful end of a human
being? Do I not have the right to choose just because I’m an orphan with no
background? So these strangers get to decide my fate?
No fair! Those are mine! Those are my body parts! I
don’t want to give them away! No!
Give it back! Give it all back! Give back what belongs
to me!
“GIVE ME!”
My heartrending wail finally
escapes my throat. I finally make it audible. I scream over and over with all
my strength.
“GIVE IT BACK!”
“Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu!”
I hear Yuan Fei yelling at me but I can’t stop my
screams.
I’ve restrained myself from screaming from the moment
the scalpel entered my body and watched helplessly with my eyes wide-open as
they dissected me. The terror, fury and resentment from every cut accumulated
in my chest to the point I could no longer withstand its weighted pressure on
me.
Finally, I can finally express all my suffering and
rage. A bottomless whirlpool of malice sucks my heart, mind and soul into it,
transforming all the bitterness and injustice into my final grudge: I will take
it back! Take it all back!
“Xiao Yu!”
Out of nowhere, my painful
shrieks get stuffed back inside my mouth and a smell belonging to Yuan Fei
envelops me. I cry and sob as I hold him tightly.
Suddenly, someone holds down my arm and I feel a
sting. A doctor is injecting me with tranquilizer but I start shrieking again
when I see the horrifying white coat.
It was people dressed like this who took my life away!
It’s them!
“Go away! Go away! Don’t touch me!”
“Xiao Yu! Calm down! I’m here!”
I keep fighting. Only when I go hoarse from screaming
and get too tired to struggle anymore do I relax. I start to see stars from
using up all my energy. I then notice that everyone has left, leaving only me
and Yuan Fei.
“Xiao Yu, I want you to look at me. Do you remember
who I am?”
There’s a hint of a sob in his voice. I look up at him
with great effort only to see a pair of blood shot eyes. I think he’s been
crying for a long time.
“Yuan Fei….” I say with my scratchy voice.
“Yes! It’s me! I thought you wouldn’t wake up again!”
I can’t tell if he wants to cry or smile. He caresses
my face with trembling fingers as though he is not sure if he’s actually
touching me or not.
“What happened?”
My mind only begins to clear up after letting out all
my anger. I’m alive. I haven’t been dissected. I’m Xiao Yu, not Sun Le.
“I wanna know what the hell happened too!”
He holds my hands tightly. “You suddenly disappeared
from the Dean’s Office. No one saw you leaving but you just vanished in thin
air. And then I heard you jumped off the lab building. I almost had a break
down! Thank god.... Thank god there was a mound of sand from the construction.
You weren’t seriously injured only ‘cause you hit a tree branch along the way,
and fell on the sand. But after we brought you to the hospital you didn’t wake
up. The doctors said your pulse was really erratic. You know what, your heart
had stopped once but your body jumped up all by itself before the doctor even
started preparing the defibrillator as if it shocked itself. Everyone was
gaping. And your heart started beating again soon after.”
So it wasn’t just a dream. I really did experience
the whole thing. Well, at least I did go through, spiritually, Sun Le’s
experience.
“Guess what, even the police were freaked out. I’m
sure they think we’re being haunted by something now. I’m not under
investigation anymore either. They’ve placed me under heavy protection instead
now. And you know…you’ve been unconscious for three whole days. And that’s how
long my heart’s been dead for.”
“Yuan Fei.”
Lightly, I touch his face as he watches me intently.
He bends down. “If you hadn’t woken up…I really don’t know what I’d do.”
He kisses me gently and licks at my lips. I crack up
my mouth to welcome him in. Carefully, he slides his tongue in and my heart
starts pounding sporadically, increasing with speed as our tongues entangle.
It’s not my first time kissing someone but it is the
first time I’ve felt a loss of breath. It’s not my first time kissing Yuan
Fei but it is the first time I’ve felt a solid connection with him. It turns
out that a kiss is such a wonderful thing. It’s as though nothing else in this
world is important as long as you can have this kiss for the rest of your life.
When our lips finally part
with reluctance, his cheeks have turned pink. I assume I’m not much better off.
We burst into sheepish chuckles at the same time after exchanging fixed stares.
He picks up my hand and places it on his lips.
“Let’s never be apart, okay?”
He asks earnestly.
I crack a smile but avoid
answering the question.
“Was he the one who pushed you
down?” He suddenly inquires.
I’m taken back by the quick
change—it’s as if he’s a different person.
Menace flashes in his once-loving eyes and pain shoots up my hand.
“Yuan Fei.” I call his
name.
Only then does he come
back around. He keeps apologizing after quickly releasing my hand.
I flash a light smile.
“I’m still alive, aren’t I? If he’d wanted to kill me I wouldn’t have woken up.
You know that.”
I see confusion slip
across his eyes. He was anxious and frightened because he had thought I’d die
for sure. He was overwhelmed with joy and reassurance because I have woken up.
Consequently, he is perplexed because he doesn’t understand why I have received
a miracle when no other has been able to escape the misfortunes. I, too, am
curious.
Perhaps, Sun Le did it
on purpose? He wanted me to live through the injustice and anger he had gone
through. He pushed me down but let a branch slow my fall and let me land right
on a mound of sand…because he didn’t want me to die?
However, I can’t figure
out one thing. Why did he have to show me his experiences? Why didn’t he kill
me?
He doesn’t have any
reason to be so generous to me. He did try to kill me once, so what made him
change his mind?
I get tired after a
short chat with Yuan Fei and he leaves after tucking me in. I don’t know for
how long I’ve slept when I get woken up by the nurse to take blood samples and
measure my blood pressure. I blink my eyes open a few times, mind still in a
daze, and take a scan around the room. It’s pitch black—it’s probably the
middle of the night. Then I drift back to sleep.
A while later, a crisp
sound resonates in my mind:
Drip-drop.
This takes me
completely off guard and I’m wide awake in an instant. People are especially
vulnerable when they’re sleeping and this almost makes my heart stop beating.
I shiver and pat my
chest. “If you didn’t want me to fall to my death, then why try to scare me to
death?” I gasp.
Perhaps the reason why
he let me live so many times is because he wants to drive me insane and not
just die an easy death.
“Do you really resent
me that much?” I mutter quietly to no one in particular, knowing there won’t be
an answer from it.
I don’t hear another
sound. I glance around curiously—a pitch black hospital room with no one else
in it. The darkness holds nothing strange either.
Could it be that I
imagined it? But how could I have imagined such a clear, distinct sound coming
from inside my head? Or maybe I’m just so afraid of it that it’s starting to
haunt me in my dreams as well.
I let out a deep breath
to calm my high-strung nerves and notice that my throat is parched. I climb up
with difficulty and reach for the water bottle on the bedside table but I come
into contact with a thick stack of something. Confused, I open the bedside
lamp. I gape at what I see: seven files neatly stacked together on the bedside
table. I’m certain, however, that there were no such things here when Yuan Fei
was here earlier in the day.
I crack a bitter smile.
It looks like it wasn’t my imagination after all.
I take the files over,
knowing I can’t run from it, and untie the thin string holding them together.
“Alright, I’ll take a
look if you insist I do….” I mumble to it, wherever it may be.
In the beginning, I had
been eager to know the answer but before I knew it, I had become too scared to
find out. The files had already become a petrifying solution in my eyes when it
had pushed me to retrieve them the first time. The answer made me scared beyond
description. So I turned a blind eye to them again and again, and yet it places
them in front of me again and again.
Why must I be the one to solve this?
If it were as I had thought—Sun Le is holding a
grudge from getting dumped by Yuan Fei—then why did he start
with the innocent others and not Yuan Fei first? And if he wanted to leave Yuan
Fei to the last why did he spare my life? More importantly, if what I had seen
during my comatose days after falling off the building was what Sun Le wanted
to show me, what would be the reason for it? He wanted justice? If so, why
would he want to kill us?
I open the first file; it belongs to Cubs. I take a
quick peek through his absence records, maybe because I had heard his name
being mentioned in my dream state. It appears that he took a month off because
he had a slow recovery from a surgery he had undergone in the summer.
I rummage through my
memories. I’ve noticed a row of scars of stitches under his ribs when we went
to take showers together. He had said it was from his surgery.
Drip-drop.
A faint vision materializes before my eyes after the
soft sound:
Cubs is lying on a bed in the intense care unit with
machines stuck all over his body. His mother is crying her eyes out by the bed
while his father is standing to the side in his white coat quietly wiping at
his tears. The next moment, a nurse comes running in saying there’s an
emergency patient and Mr. Jin follows her out of the room. The scene blurs and
I see Sun Le being wheeled in by a bunch of people to the surgery room. Then I
see the expression gradually changing on Mr. Jin’s face as he reads Sun Le’s
medical report in detail.
“Cubs’ kidney….”
I can’t help muttering out loud. So the reason for
every single thing…is this.
I put down the file and pick up Kong Linglin’s.
I recall Kong Linglin bragging to us one time that he
got in a huge car accident in the summer and that he was lucky to even make it
out alive—he used up two whole boxes of blood for
transfusion. He might have exaggerated more or less but the fact remains that
he had used large amounts of blood.
“Kong Linglin’s blood….”
I put the file down and pick up Mu Mu’s.
Last summer, he had surgery done too. He stayed in the
hospital for aftercare when school had started already and he was excused for
six weeks.
It was also that day, after Kong Linglin finished
bullshitting, that Mu Mu briefly went over how he went under the knife too. He
said he had bone marrow transplant because his weren’t functioning properly.
Apparently, it had taken a lot of effort to find a match.
“Mu Mu’s bone marrow….”
Xu Ping’s file is next.
I don’t even need to read this to have a good idea of
what it details. There was a fire at Xu Ping’s house and he got burned all over
his body so he had skin transplants done.
“Xu Ping’s skin….”
I pick up Wu Fan’s file and spot another similarity—a crucial one at that,
too—they were all Type A.
Consequently, I’m puzzled because I’m Type B and Yuan
Fei is Type O. Neither of us have hospital records. So in other words, we have
never had surgery performed on us. So is that the reason why we’ve constantly
brushed past the Reaper that Sun Le has brought upon us?
I stare at the file in hand. Wu Fan had severe
nearsightedness. In his own words, he had been in danger of losing sight
completely so he had surgery done.
Drip-drop.
Another vision appears
before my eyes along with the sound:
A woman is almost on her knees as she cries. “Doctor,
my son can’t go blind! He’s so close to graduating! Please help him! Please!”
She wails.
The doctor explains uncomfortably. “But there aren’t
many cornea donors out there and there are a lot of patients in line….”
The man who has been holding the woman up quietly
steps forward and discreetly slips a thick envelope loaded with money into the
doctor’s hand.
“Please! Our child’s future rests in your hands!”
A smile spreads on the doctor’s face. He scans around
him before lowering his voice. “The only way now is to buy it off of the black
market. I happen to know one cornea that matches your son’s blood type but it’s
in high demands....”
The man looks determined. “Money is not an issue!
Please, doctor, we’ll pay whatever is necessary!”
The smiling doctor pats the
man’s shoulder.
A breeze seems to blow across the misty vision before
me, the smile on the white-coated doctor’s face instantly warping into
something more menacing than any ghoul.
Drip-drop.
I understand now. I understand everything.
This ‘drip-drop’ is not from water dropping down but
rather the weak sound of teardrops made of aggrieved resentment hitting this
filthy, vile world. The spirits that cannot weep cry tears of blood that
hopelessly fall towards their unchangeable destiny. Weak but stunning, the
sound is overpowering and echoes in the mind.
Drip-drop.
I shudder. “You want your eye back? Is Chief the next
one?”
Drip-drop.
I roll off the bed without a second thought and fall
over the moment I hit the floor, my body aching as if it’s been crushed to
pieces. It reminds me that I have recently fallen off a seven storey
building.
“Don’t…kill anymore.”
Drip-drop.
“I’ll go get it back for
you…your eye…so…please, spare Chief.”
Drip-drop.

ReplyDeletei'm soooo ill today but i'm so lucky to get the second place here ^^
thank you for realising i'll read first then be prepared for my long comment hehe
hahah I'm looking forward to two really long comments XDD
DeleteAnd take care! Hope you get well soon
oh my god!! i was gonna post my long comment and it said i can't post it bacause it is tooo long so i will devide into two.. i wonder how much i wrote!!!!
Deletenii_san's comment part one:
ReplyDeleteok~
that would have been sad if only i'd stopped SNEEZING!!!
i cried from the beggining until the end of this chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if only it was because i'm sad, my eyes tear on their own whenever i have a flu, agh i really hate it, i'm so miserable!!!!
*sneeze* i wanna cry, i already am though....
ok enough of my dramatic life story.. lets get to the point.. i read one of the comments in the previous chapter and the *commenter* said it could be a dream etc etc...
then i had this thought that, yeah why would Sun Le kill him now? he had many chances but he still left him alive and then i thought it was just because he was still thinking that it was Yuan Fei, then i thought he can't possibly kill him he may have just made him live the same circome stances as when he died (i was still "traumatized" that he was going to die so i forgot all about my idea) turns out it was true, well me being a writer indeed helps me of having a wide imagination *pay no attention to my proud >< i don't even if the word is correct!!!*
now everything is clear to me, why everyone died BUT.. even if they were the ones that had Sun Le's "s..stuff", i still don't see why they are at fault, i mean they did not choose for him to die inorder for them to live you see, even my cute little cubs he wasn't the one that chose but i can undersand that he was the reason why he died in the first place, but even so..if i weere Sun Le i'd kill those that killed him (the docters) and the real reason why he died ( i think it was Cubs' brother or sister or whatever that told his father to take his kidney!! since no one will notice) also those other docters that were going to bring him back yto life but left him for somereaon could have probably been bribed!
anyway, i just knew that glooms' skin wasn't his!!!!!!!! wow.. *whisper* waybe that was why he looked like an emo although i didn't see him...
poor MuMu and konglinling who i really don't ware about!!!!!!
i really love MuMu's name though he could have been the clown guy amoung the unlucky seven.. well his attitube made me think he doesn't deserve that name.. abandoning the group just because you are freacked out although you were the one who sujested to do the thing that caused all the trouble in the first place really is.. hmmm.. low??
i don't know i think he deserved to die, didn't know much about kong linling as i said before so i am not attached to him in anyway so i pretty much don't care either but i don't think he sederve to die..
now lets talk about chief.. i am not attached to this guy much.. i love that he is the one leading and all but it's great i didn't love him or else i'd tuned insane along with him!!!
i think that if he lost his eyes (or sun le's i don't know) is better than to die!!
and ofcoure it is, i can imagine the scene of his death.. it's like from a scary movie i watched when i was young i forgot its name.. it is about a maniac dodctor which is a ghoust ofcource, he kills people in his days but putting some sticks of what ever in their eyes because they were a little bit ill!! also aother tormenting ways .. in the end hhe dies but a girl who survived along with a man.. but the rest od the groop that visited that hospital with the survivors died in a very ugly way, each of them i think with a trauma from young or something.. may be you know it??? if you do please remaind me of its name i'd love to watch it again...
~sight~ i don't know how i turned from talking about the chapter to summerising a movie!!!
any way that was what i emagined the chief's death to be like.. better lose his eyes if you asked me..but how is Xiao Yu gonna take them off?? will he go to the police or be called a maniac or worst of all KILLED?!!
i can't and i don't want to emagine...
nii_san's comment part two:
ReplyDeletelets go now to a happy and sweet part of this chapter...
the kiss *dreamy*
it's just so lovely i can't take it.. why were they in a hospital? why was Xiao Yu hurt? i want them to go all the way!!!
never mind.. nobody listens to me anyway *shaking head left to right in despair* it is sweet as it is i have to admit that i really really love it.. very nice story thank the author for me if you can.. BUT if he harmed Xiao Yu anymore tell him nii_san is coming to haunt you.. so be prepared to live THE WATER GOES DRIP DRIP SEASON 2 Mwahahahahaha....*cough cough* the evil laugh is really hard to display huh..
lets go back to the subject (ignore the parts chere i talk to my self.. hopeless.. no cure for this stranga commenting illness!!!!) <<i'm doing it again *babbling*
I FORGOT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.. hold on.. i remembered.. i the happy sweet times in this chapter.. i liked it when they chuckled after the kiss.. like a crazy couple!! reminds me of myself and my friend.. we laugh at every-tiny-little-thing i don't even know why!! if you one miraciulous day happened to spot me along with my friend and just so you don't make a love dtory out of a us my friend is *a girl* (no lesbians don't get your hopes up!!!) i got more friends ofcource and when they walk along with me and my childhood friend we strat laughing on some ridiculous things that unfortunate friend that i dragged along with us becaumes confused, quiet, and left forgotten!!!!
HOLD ON A SEC.. i'm doing it for the millionth time!! babbling about my life!!!!! i don't even do it on purpose!!!
without out more babbling i liked every part of this chapter.. the construction between a sad and a happy scene...
it's just the ending that makes me out of my mind.. i already am to begin with.. how would Xiao Yu do in the next time .. xhat about Yuan Fei is he gonna die or are they oth gonna live or are they both gonna go to prison or Xiao Yu only?? aghh my head hurts.. my eyes feel like their gonna pop out and my nose is itching and burning because of the huge amount of tissues i used(it is because of this illness!!)
the screen light is making my eyes tear, i made it a little darker so i can read the chapter and comment, but that's what you're getting for today.
thank you for posting and translating.. thank you for the 2 chapters you really made my day..i think i'm falling for you!!!
hold on i got an idea!! a story about atranslater and a writer that happens to be reading this guy's translation from chinese to english.. one day this writer went on a trip to china (which will never happen bewause her mother soen't even let her go to her friend alone,PS the girl isn't bothered by her mom's protectivness) inorder to learn more about it beceise she felt like writing a story similaire to what that guy is translating.. the translator also happened to go to china as well,she was talking to him through comments using her smart phone (which she doesn't have,Ps she doesn't even have a stupid phone!!)
suddenly she bumped a guy accidently and both of their phones fall on the floor, they apolozige to each other as they bend down to get the other one's phonethe girl sees the name "Adrian Zhang" on the phone as he was going to comment, so does the man, he finds nii-san written on her phone as she was commenting.. they exchange glances then they whisper in teh same time "you.."
theier eyes kept glued at each other as their hearts beat fast creating a beautiful melody, the background turns pink and the each of them sees te other all sparkly.. it was love at first sight..
APLAUSE APLSAUSE, see i made story so fast huh.. hahaha i can hear you laugh yourself out as you read..

Hi Hong<3 Thank you for the constant support! :)
DeleteYeah! I totally agree. That's why I never forgot about this story after so many years of reading it and even decided to translate it XD
I can't believe we're almost at the end >o<!
yeah i think i'll reread it after this ends XD yeah! i'm sad though it;s goind to end TT
DeleteAww. I'm so happy >3<
DeleteThere's a certain satisfaction to hear that people are enjoying your translation :')
Yeah I'm happy but also a bit sad tooo~ I think I'm gonna reread it too XD
T.T poor Sun Le.... but shouldn't he take revenge to all the doctor that killing him? Arghh.... I don't know what is right or wrong anymore. Of course he want part of his bodies back. But for me the one that received his body part doesn't know anything so they innocent. The one who should die are the b*st*rd doctors!!! ***sigh.....
ReplyDeleteTAT I know. I was really conflicted toooo! So I totally get you.
DeleteThe author wrote an afterword which I've translated that touches on some of your questions. It will be released along with the conclusion.
Thank you for reading and commenting <33
No wonder their deaths were utterly gruesome and horrifying! I feel bad for the recipients of his stolen organs, and i agree that it should be the perpetrators that should've been punished. On a lighter note, i wonder when yuan fei's feelings for xiao yu developed. Was it during their mutual experience being terrorized by sun le? But it seems to me he had feelings for xiao yu even before that... It seems too hasty that's all considering it was only earlier of that summer that sun le jumped to his death and during that time his love for sun le was still intense then... Just wondering... Thanks for the hard work!
ReplyDeleteYup! Everything had a reason.
DeleteThe author wrote an afterword that will touch on some of those questions. It will be posted along with the conclusion :)
I agree that it must've started before the deaths. I think the archenemy thing was fake and Yuan Fei did it on purpose because he didn't want to admit that he was gay.
Thank you again~
Aiya... If you've experienced injustice why bring more injustice?
ReplyDelete>.< The spirit is a malicious one so it only knows revenge. It's all that Sun Le had when he died. That's my defense for it orz
DeleteI feel real bad for Sun Le ...but he should focus his revenge on those heartless negligent doctors..but why is he showing Yuan Fei his past ?...Thanks for the translation
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think he would do that if he still had the brains to think it through. Like I mentioned up there, I don't think spirits can do much mental processing XDD
DeleteHe showed Xiao Yu his past! XD
You're welcome~
My bad...Why show Xiao Yu his past and not Yuan Fei ...considering the fact that he knows Yuan Fei way better ???
DeleteIt shall be revealed in the conclusion =u=; it should make everything make sense
DeleteAm I gonna have to wait another two weeks? I hope not!
ReplyDeleteWas that a challenge >u>
Deletemaybeee............ :3
DeleteDX but the proofreaders haven't finished proofreading yet so iunno T_T
Deletefinal exam is coming~ can finally be in peace to prepare for my exam after this chapter is revealed. and you also give me something to celebrate because i finished my exam on 4th feb. thank you very much. 5th feb. i'm waiting~~ but i need to sit the exam first. gosh! so lazy to study right now. huhuhuhu.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! My term has just started in jan! XD What a different schedule
DeleteI'm glad to hear that~ I wish you luck on all your exams! You're gonna ace it!
Thank you for reading and commenting >3< now go study hard!
Actually~ our university start holiday first because of the flood disaster. Now we have to come early to exam first and the start the new semester. So thats why our schedule is a little bit different now. Huhu. im study now. Need to struggle for my own good. Relity is hard. Sigh* Thank you :) hope u too keep doing your work. Dont forget. Im waiting~~~ hehe
DeleteOh no! That's terrible! I hope everything is going back to order now <3 <3 Best of wishes!
DeleteHaha XD Yes~ I'm actually quite far ahead on my translating but our proofreaders seem to be on break recently >.<
Lol You can imagine how I first read 'Can can’t wait any longer' until the next mention of 'Can' that I started thinking that someone has that name, but I'm not sure lol
ReplyDeleteAnd omg, though I feel it's too coincidental on them all having accidents and whatnot, but I wasn't expecting it too, and only Sun Le's organs are given to them without permission.
Now everything comes back on how they died. Wow.
And the beginning of this chapter too, I didn't think it would be like that, and the fact that only Yuan Fei and Xiao Yu only hear the sounds, now it all makes sense.
I knew the files are gonna be something too.
This chapter really cleared many things up. Now, just waiting for Chief's fate.
Thanks a lot! ^^
Omg yeah .___. I was gonna italicise it...I guess I should've! *goes italicise the name* It's Cubs name! Jin Can. XD Sorry for the confusion haha
DeleteYeah! I promised this chapter would clear almost everything up. But there are still a few mysteries as some of the readers commented above~
Thank you for reading and commenting :)))
I didn't expect this.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely nothing I could have dreamed up. Ever since I was little, I've held the firm belief that one's vital organs have imprints of their owner's personality. There have been cases of transplants where the recipient would start to show certain quirks of the donor (suddenly becoming a die-hard fan of the donor's favorite football team, etc) If anything, it seems more like a deceased organ donor could live on through the recipient, almost like a shard of soul being transplanted with the organ. So I guess it is natural I can't comprehend a ghost wanting to take revenge on those who currently have his previous body parts. Having been killed for his organs is a tragedy indeed, but...
Wow! Interesting! Is that a cultural thing or just your own belief that you picked up?
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting!! :)
Well,speaking about organs and the likes, I have this friend back in h.s that undergone blood transfusion before due to her Dengue and truth be told this classmate of mine is a very shy girl,not a loud-mouth etc but yeah after that procedure she became I dunno, a different person. It's like she acquired the characteristics of the donor,not that I'm familiar with the person but it's really surprised the class. -mai
DeleteWow o_o coooool. but kinda creepy at the same time!
DeleteHa ha, well, I grew up in New Orleans. That place is a melting pot of conflicting cultures, so I usually have no clue what to believe in... but horror movies and mysteries were a huge part of my life. The concept was never foreign to me. However, I think I watched a documentary (or an episode of Unsolved Mysteries) when I was fairly young. People have even written books about their experiences changing food preferences or having donor death nightmares after becoming an organ recipient. It is somewhat talked about in the scientific community as "cell memory theory" It rings true to me, but I'd understand why if anyone didn't believe in it.
DeleteOoooh *looks it up*
DeleteActually, it's not a new concept to me either. I recall several Classical Chinese stories about the supernatural that talks about the person/spirit living through a body part. But because transplant technologies weren't invented back then, it was usually the case that the demonic creature who devoured a human's heart started to develop human feelings and morals. Although it is rare, I have read it before.
As for this story, I think it might've been the case that the body parts brought all of them together in one dorm room! Or else it'd be one huge coincidence...XD
waiting... waiting... it would be nice to complete drip-drop in january and not extend to february... wishful thinking much haha! double release again pleeeeeeeease!! anyway, i'm gonna go start re-reading from chapter 1 again... ^_^
ReplyDelete>_< only one proofreader has gotten back to me so far D: they seem to be really busy lately
