Crossing

X City, First People’s Hospital.

 In the single ward, a young girl lay quietly under the plain white sheets and bedding. The girl’s eyes were tightly closed, and her eyebrows were carefully raised. A small face as large as a palm was buried in the scattered black hair looking very pale.


    The thin morning light scattered out of the glass window, a ray of light fell on the girl’s eyelids, her slender and curled eyelashes trembling slightly, she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of dark and moist eyes, covered with a thin layer of mist, which seemed to be a little hazy. Looking at the snow-white ceiling above her head, Yu Mian did not expect that she could wake up again.


    She sat up on her back, not paying attention to the infusion stand connected to her side, and accidentally pulled the needle on the back of her hand, suddenly a pain came, making her instantly awake from the confusion.

    Looking around, you can see the words “X City First People’s Hospital” everywhere in the eye range. Obviously, this is a hospital.

    Did someone call 120 for her and send her to the hospital?

    Yu Mian remembered that she was in a car accident on the way home when she get off work. The car that was speeding through the red light hit her heavily. Until this moment, she could still recall the pain of bone fracture all over her body, although it was only a moment. She quickly lost consciousness, but she still had some lingering fears.

    She lowered her head and looked at the needle tube attached to her right hand. The needle slipped out of the blood vessel, at the back of her hand was already swollen. However, at this moment, except for the slight tingling in her hands, she did not feel any discomfort, and there was no trace of injury on her body.

    Could it be that the car didn’t actually hit her, and the pain she felt was just her own fantasy?

    Suspiciously, a string of faint footsteps came from far heading towards her, finally stopped outside the ward. Then the door was pushed open, and a nurse in white walked into the room. Seeing Yu Mian who had woken up, she didn’t seem surprised, and smiled and greeted Yu Mian.

    “Miss Yu, are you awake?” The nurse walked over to check the infusion and found that the needle had fallen off, so she leaned down and pulled the needle for her.

    Yu Mian was in daze and still hadn’t figured out the specific situation. After thinking about it, she wanted to ask: “Miss nurse, do you know who sent me to the hospital?”

    Knowing who it is, I must thank them.

    She had a car accident close to the outskirts of the city, not to mention its remote location. On above of that it was in the evening. There were few pedestrians on the road, and the possibility of getting help was too small. This was why she was surprised when she woke up.

    As for why she was not sent to the nearest hospital, but to a hospital in the city center, this is a bit strange.

    The nurse had a very good attitude, thinking she was afraid that no one was with her, she couldn’t help but smile and comfort her : “Your mother sent you here. Your family visited you yesterday. Your parents have been taking care of you last night. I should go buy breakfast now. You have woken up, you should call them, they must be very happy.”

    But unexpectedly, the more she said, the paler the girl in front of her face, and when the voice fell, her mian complexion, it was as pale as paper, with a pair of dark eyes, showing a shaky feeling of frailty.

    The girl has a pair of beautiful eyes, thick and dense eyelashes, and pupils that was a circle, larger than ordinary people. Bright light is reflected in the black, which is as clean and clear as a newborn baby, with a hint of natural childishness.

    Her eyes were wide open, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she murmured softly: “Mom, Dad?”

    Mom and Dad, this word is common to most people, but to Yu Mian, it is extremely strange and remote… Because Yu Mian was an orphan whose parents both died, her parents died in an accident when she was ten years old, and she was left alone.

    So, who are the parents that the nurse mentioned? Or you can ask, is Miss Yu in her mouth still Yu Mian?

    Yu Mian clearly remembered the huge impact she received, and even she could recall that when she was hit and flew, she saw the red face of the driver through the windshield and the panic in his expression. Everything was like slow motion. Frame after frame came to her mind.

[ T/N:- Damn you , car kun ]

    Before she plunged into darkness, the only thought in her heart was that she regretted that she hadn’t had time to watch her idol’s new movie. She is afraid that there would be no chance in the future.

    But who knows that she could survive, and her whole body is safe and sound, as if the car accident did not exist at all. And she has no parents, where did this pair of parents come from?

    Yu Mian was so shocked that she didn’t dare to think further, the nurse called her a few times and asked her if she was unwell.

    “It’s okay, I want to take a rest.” Yu Mian shook her head gently, and when the nurse got out of the ward, she got out of bed and walked into the bathroom beside her.

    Standing in front of the mirror, she slowly raised her hand and touched her face. The person in the mirror was young, with a beautiful face, a straight nose, small lips, and the most eye-catching was the pair of shiny eyes.

    The girl has fair skin and delicate features, and her face has full of youthful vitality. Maybe because she was sick, her face is a little gloomy, and she has a little sickness that can be seen.

    This face is a little different from Yu Mian herself, but it was very similar. The specific contours are not much different, except that Yu Mian’s skin features are relatively rough, but the face was not perfect in any way, like a refined version of the original face.

    The moment she saw this face, Yu Mian’s mind suddenly burst into a lot of chaotic memories, the memories belonging to this body suddenly rushed over, making her dizzy for a while, busy holding the sink and covering her forehead.

    Messy footsteps sounded in her ears, and someone came to her and supported her, saying something anxiously.

    “MianMian, how are you? Don’t scare your mother, MianMian, do you feel uncomfortable?” Madam Yu saw this scene as soon as she returned from buying breakfast. She was so anxious that the bathroom in the hospital was small, so she hurriedly called her husband behind him, “Jiansheng, go and call the doctor!”

    Just as Dad Yu was about to call someone, he heard his daughter say weakly: “…I, I’m fine, no need to call the doctor.”

    Mrs. Yu helped her out of the bathroom. Yu Mian sat on the hospital bed, frowning and rubbing her forehead, suppressing the nausea in her chest. She raised her eyes and saw two faces full of worries, with the same care and affection in their expressions. Yu Mian’s heart trembled, and her eyes suddenly became red.

    In all, it has been nearly ten years since Yu Mian’s parents passed away, and the memories of them have gradually become blurred. She hasn’t experienced the feeling of being so cared about for a long, long time.

    The tip of her nose was slightly sour, watching the unfamiliar and familiar parents in front of her, she slowly started combing the extra memory in her mind. After a few seconds of silence, Yu Mian tentatively said: “…Dad? Mom?”

    Madam Yu carefully saw her. Looking at her pale contrast recovering, she was eased, and she immediately took the breakfast she bought, a large bag full of things, and placed it in front of Yumian, eagerly said: “Hey, I heard that the cafeteria in this hospital is very delicious, I was afraid you will wake up , you will feel hungry, so I bought breakfast. It’s all for you love. The doctor said that you are lacking in nutrition and sleep. Let’s eat something ?” Yu Mian hadn’t spoken yet, Dad Yu made a straight face and said “The breakfast that your parents bought for you, you should eat a little bit no matter what. Look at you, lose weight until you faint and go to the hospital. If it spreads out, are you not afraid of being laughed at?”

    Hearing Dad Yu reprimand with concern, Yu Mian was moved but also felt a little bit funny. To lose weight, she fainted and went to the hospital. It sounds really funny.

    But what is even more incredible is that she changed from Yu Mian to Yu Mianmian.

    In the bathroom just now, she received the memory of this body, a complete 18-year memory of a person, pieced together in a short life.

    The original body was called Yu Mianmian, and Yu Mian guessed that because the two people’s names and appearances were too similar, and there was some connection between them, they replaced each other after death.

    If she guessed correctly, Yu Mianmian should have passed away. From the memory, she learned that Yu Mianmian was keen to lose weight during this period. The most ferocious time was this time. She didn’t eat for two consecutive days, causing her to faint at home resulting her to land into the hospital.

    After arriving at the hospital, her heart stopped beating. Fortunately, she was rescued in time. She woke up again and changed to Yu Mian.

    Thinking of this, Yu Mian sighed lightly. Her original body was two years older than Yu Mianmian. The lonely and helpless environment made her better aware of the hardships of life. Yu Mianmian was born in wealth, and her parents cared for her, but she tried desperately to make her family worry about it. She really couldn’t understand this behavior….

    Recovered from her thoughts, facing the caring eyes of her parents, a warm current crossed Yu Mian’s heart. She looked at the breakfast Mrs. Yu brought over. There were transparent packing boxes in the bag, containing eight-treasure porridge, Xiaolongbao, steamed buns, soy milk, small vegetables and eggs for breakfast.

    The tip of her nose sniffed the aroma of the food, and a strong sense of hunger erupted in her stomach. Yu Mian gently pressed her lips and shouted out the old name: “…Mom, I want to drink porridge.”

She thought she would be unfamiliar with this tittle. But this time it wass so natural, as if it has been waiting for a long time.

    “Okay, let’s drink porridge.”

    Madam Yu didn’t notice the abnormality of her daughter. When she was a child, Yu Mianmian was raised with her old parents and never got close to her and her husband. She always seemed courteous and alienated from each other. Madam Yu was sad for a long time.

    Yu Mian didn’t get angry at her. She could talk to her so peacefully and call her mother. She was so happy that she didn’t know what to do.

    Seeing Yu Mian, who was drinking porridge, she suddenly felt that her daughter seemed to have changed. It is hard to tell where the change was. The person is still that person, but the feeling is different from before.

    The original daughter had a big temper, and her whole body was indifferent as if there they were thousands of miles away. Now that layer of coldness on her body is gone, like a piece of ice, irradiated by the sun, and melted into gentle and still water.

    The girl lowered her head and sipped her porridge, her black hair hanging down her face, and a morning light hit her white cheeks, coating the exposed tiny skin with a ring of gold.

    The porridge was too hot, she would blow it gently before every sip, her pale pink lips were stained with crystal clear soup, making her lips rosy and bloody.

    As if perceiving Madam Yu’s gaze, Yu Mian lifted her face from the white misty bowl, her black eyes were soaked with mist, she bent her eyes subconsciously and smiled embarrassedly when she met her mother’s gaze. A little pear vortex floated on his lips.

    With the shyness of the girl, obedient and sweet. Just like a pear flower blooming on the branch, fresh and moving.

    Madam Yu looked up at her, her heart moved, her little daughter, has she grown up?
