CHAPTER 10 DEEP REFLECTION!
Humans experience three urgent needs—it’s a common truth.
The urgency I felt as a boy compared to now, as a girl, is astonishingly different.
Once this sensation is captured by consciousness and acknowledged, it becomes increasingly intense!
Ye Zhibai’s mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but gently stroke her beautifully shaped legs, quickly scanning her surroundings.
Isn’t there a private bathroom in this room? It shouldn’t be like this… This hospital room looks so upscale.
But at a glance, indeed, there’s no sign of one…?
Should I go out?
It’s okay to go out, finding a restroom shouldn’t be too difficult.
But the problem is…
Ye Zhibai suddenly became pensive.
What exactly is the process when a girl goes to the bathroom?
She has the common knowledge, knowing the posture differs, but not having truly mastered the task, the first attempt is bound to feel uncertain.
Having maintained a boy’s problem-solving approach for over twenty years, suddenly requiring her to think inversely is indeed challenging.
Thinking all this brought on another wave of urgency, like a river rushing against a dam.
This is unbearable…
No matter what, I have to give it a try!
It’s better than letting the river flow!
Ye Zhibai’s legs felt somewhat stiff as she struggled to get up, slipping on her slippers and standing up, leaning on the railing beside her as she took a step forward.
Hiss… My body has recovered a lot, but walking still feels very heavy.
The soul’s alignment with the body is a tad slow.
Plus, the strong urge I’m forcefully holding back makes my walking even slower.
After gripping the railing, she reached for the dresser, then the wall, slowly making her way towards the door.
Almost there… I’m about to reach the door.
Once out, I just need to look for the restroom sign, then I can…
Whoosh!
“……”
Just as Ye Zhibai’s hand was about to touch the sliding door handle, the door was opened by someone else first.
But Ye Zhibai’s hand was already reaching out in the same direction.
Caught off guard, Ye Zhibai had reached out desperately to open the door due to an urgent bodily need, leaving no room for second thoughts. As a result, propelled by inertia and gravity, her hand couldn’t be pulled back in time.
Thus…
It ended up gripping something soft…
The person who opened the door was Ye Zhiyun, who had just returned from making a phone call.
It’s not necessary to elaborate on exactly where Ye Zhibai’s hand had landed.
Ye Zhibai was dumbfounded.
When one is stunned, their hand movements can become heavy without meaning to.
This heaviness—meaning her grip and the motion became unnaturally strong.
This directly caused Ye Zhiyun, who looked surprised, to let out a soft cry from her throat.
“Ah…”
It was like a muffled hammer, striking right at Ye Zhibai’s head!
Gravity really is both a lovable and annoying force.
Ye Zhibai withdrew her hand as quickly as she could.
“Sorry.”
She truly meant it, apologizing with all the sincerity she could muster.
But… expressed in her cold tone, it seemed pale, powerless, and even indifferent.
“Uh… It’s okay?” Ye Zhiyun was initially puzzled, glancing down at her chest in confusion.
But soon, she looked up, her tone oddly teasing.
“Could it be…! After waking up, sister, your interests in that area have awakened too?!”
Then, she began to mutter to herself in a low voice, pondering, “However… if that’s the case, I need to keep a closer eye on sister… It’s too dangerous outside, hehe… If sister has any ideas… just give me a heads-up, sudden attacks aren’t nice~”
A chill ran down Ye Zhibai’s spine.
From her toes to her head!
She wanted to fully understand the strange things her sister was saying, but at this moment, Ye Zhibai simply had no energy to chat.
With Ye Zhiyun blocking the doorway, Ye Zhibai could only try to squeeze past her by sidestepping.
“Zhiyun… move… let me pass… you’re blocking… the way…”
Is there something wrong with how I’m speaking?
Why do my words sound so irksome!
However, in response to Ye Zhibai’s plea, Ye Zhiyun unexpectedly inhaled sharply and then revealed a super satisfied smile.
“Sssha… blocking the way… sorry! Uh, wait, sister, what are you trying to do?”
What am I trying to do?
Can you please not remind me!
Being reminded, the urgency that had been momentarily suppressed by the shock, returned with a vengeance, escalating rapidly.
Ye Zhibai felt a sense of dread and clenched her legs together.
“Sister?! Are you feeling unwell?!”
“It’s not that…”
“You must tell me if you feel unwell! What’s the matter with you! Hang in there! Father will be here to see you soon! I’ll call the medical maid team!”
“It’s not… the health…”
“Huh?!”
“The bathroom…”
“Sister?”
“I’m saying! I want to go… to the bathroom…”
“……”
This time, although the tone was still very gentle, Ye Zhibai finally managed to make herself clear.
And Ye Zhiyun finally understood.
After a moment of surprise…
A previously unseen sense of responsibility suddenly enveloped Ye Zhiyun’s ethereally elegant and delicate face.
“Sister! It’s urgent, I’ll take you there!”
“No need… I can go by myself… just move aside…”
Ye Zhibai still had her last bit of stubbornness.
She had already been embarrassed several times in front of this girl, Ye Zhiyun.
At least going to the bathroom was something she could definitely do on her own!
So would you please move aside, please!!!
But as Ye Zhiyun furrowed her pretty brows, the next sentence she uttered
left Ye Zhibai feeling utterly despondent.
“But… to go to the bathroom, we need to go down to the 15th floor or lower, and we’re on the 30th floor. It seems the hospital’s elevator is broken today and under emergency repair.”
“Ah…?”
Ye Zhibai’s actions froze.
You’re kidding, right?
Climb down fifteen floors?
To find a bathroom?
And there might not even be a queue spot available.
Even if there is a spot, figuring out the correct way to use the bathroom isn’t guaranteed.
Suddenly, Ye Zhibai’s already pale face turned a shade ghastlier.
This feeling was named despair.
Ye Zhibai was still not adept at handling or adapting to her new body.
This sense of utter hopelessness…
She stopped moving.
Along the outside of her dress, a barely noticeable trickle began to form along her calf.
Continuing to fall, it made a tiny, crisp sound.
What?! What’s happening?!
Ye Zhibai suddenly crouched down, curling into a ball!
And forcibly held back the remaining urges!
Don’t look… really, don’t…
Ye Zhibai’s body began to tremble slightly, whether from continuing to hold back or from discomfort was unclear.
In fact, she was inwardly cursing the heavens!
Ah, damn it, Heaven!
Wasn’t the humiliation in my last life enough! Must you torment me like this in front of my new family in this life too?
Sobbing… why is it always me who ends up injured!
The sense of shame made Ye Zhibai unable to move.
Ye Zhiyun’s mouth fell open slightly, her movements also frozen.
The spark in her eyes dimmed in an instant, making her gaze empty.
Sister… suffering, trembling, helpless.
In that moment, time nearly stopped in Ye Zhiyun’s mind.
She wanted to slap herself in reflection!
I was careless… I thought sister woke up and was fine, so I let my guard down.
But thinking about it… how could her physical condition have recovered so quickly!
Sister must still be in a lot of pain, even unable to control her own…
Ah!
Ye Zhiyun reflected deeply!
Filled with self-reproach and introspection, Ye Zhiyun felt an endless heartache.
She couldn’t bear to see her sister suffer like this.
“Sis, hold on, I’ll take you.”
“No… Huh?!”
Ye Zhibai only felt the world spinning.
When her vision stabilized, she found…
She was cradled in a princess carry in Ye Zhiyun’s arms.
She has to be lying. No sane person would design a building , let alone a hospital, where you have to go 15 floors to get to a bathroom. Heck, hospitals should have them in every room, especially a VIP room.
At least for the business buildings I’ve been to in China they don’t have restrooms every floor. So it’s possible, afaik that building only had a restroom first floor but for a hospital it is very unlikely.
