Chapter 32 - I, Rosendo, Am Not Dead

Johanna, who was peeking through the crack in the door, felt jealous. Rosendo took advantage of Cheryl but didn't take advantage of her. Isn't this intentionally hurting her?

"Ahem..." Johanna coughed, signaling Cheryl to stop.

"Ahh! Pervert!" Cheryl screamed and slapped away

Rosendo's hand that was still on her chest. Then she stood up, turned around, and ran out of Rosendo's room.

Back in Johanna's room, with a flushed face, Cheryl said,

"He... he is not impotent."

"I told you it couldn't be true! Look how you suffered! If word gets out that your breasts were touched like this, who would want to marry you?" Johanna joked.

"Hmph! If I can't get married then I'll hold your precious Rosendo responsible. It's his fault for grabbing my chest," Cheryl jokingly replied with a smile.

"When did you become so shameless?"

"You're no different. You went as far as sneaking into someone else's bed. Aren't you embarrassed?"

"Oh dear! How dare you say that about me? Watch me tickle you." The two of them started playfully wrestling on the bed. If there were boys present they would surely have nosebleeds because when Johanna and Cheryl joke around like this their shirt buttons are undone revealing some skin.

In the morning Vanessa also cooked something for Rosendo - lean meat porridge. It tasted really delicious to him and he ate three big bowls before feeling satisfied.

After seeing Rosendo finish eating Vanessa left for school.

Vanessa left and so did Cheryl; once again leaving behind only Rosendo and Johanna in the house - two lonely souls together. Rosendo got off the bed and slowly walked around in the living room while Johanna hid in her room, too shy to come out and face Rosendo, still feeling embarrassed about what happened last night when they slept together.

]The VIP ward was different; it felt just like home. It had a bedroom, bathroom, living room, TV, sofa - everything. Rosendo picked up an apple from the tea table and wiped it casually with a tissue before taking a bite. He noticed there was a TV in front of him and realized that he hadn't watched TV for so long in this century! He stood up and walked over to the television.

"In this era, how do you turn on the TV?" Rosendo looked at the television and muttered to himself. He couldn't find the switch. In the future century, televisions were controlled by touch, but he had never heard of how to use a modern TV.

Bored in his house, Rosendo had no choice but to go look for that woman who sneaked into his room yesterday. Opening Johanna's room, a piercing scream immediately came from inside: "Ah--!"

"Sorry, sorry! I didn't know you were changing clothes," Rosendo quickly said as he closed the door. Remembering Johanna's beautiful figure, Rosendo couldn't help but say: "So beautiful."

"Rosendo." Suddenly, Johanna's angry voice came from behind him.

Rosendo turned around and saw an angry-faced Johanna. He awkwardly smiled and said: "... You called me..."

"Why did you just peek at me changing clothes? Tell me... or else I'll report you for attempted rape," Johanna angrily retorted.

Rosendo hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "It was a misunderstanding! Really! I didn't mean to peek at you changing clothes. I wanted to ask you how to turn on the TV... umm... didn't expect to see your beautiful side."

"You... Rosendo, can't you use your brain? You don't even know how to lie properly or turn on a TV unless you're an alien!" Johanna scolded in dissatisfaction with Rosendo's excuse.

"I don't know about other TVs besides touch-controlled ones," Rosendo explained.

"I don't care! Since you've seen my body, I want compensation from you," Johanna seriously demanded from Rosendo; it seemed like she wanted to take advantage of him being vulnerable.

With both hands raised in surrender, Rosendo calmly said: "You slept with me last night, and today I just glanced at your body. We're even."

"You... you! You are the most annoying guy I've ever met. I hate you!" Johanna sat on the sofa, turned her head away in anger. She really despised Rosendo now; how could he be so clueless about romance? Say something nice for once!

The two of them remained frozen in the living room until thankfully a nurse from the hospital arrived to examine Rosendo and Johanna's bodies before leaving. As the nurse was leaving, she taught Rosendo how to turn on the TV using a remote control.

Turning on the television, it happened to be playing footage from two days ago when Rosendo saved Johanna. Hearing the host's introduction, Johanna couldn't help but turn her head towards the TV.

She hadn't seen how Rosendo disappeared that day, but now she saw it: she saw Rosendo pushing her towards a floating bottle on top of the river while he himself remained motionless as he slowly sank into water. This scene was touching yet cruel because someone who saves others is slowly being submerged by water without any struggle.

This video was also thanks to a girl who liked filming things; originally intending to capture turbulent river waters by the riverside, she unexpectedly captured such an emotional scene instead.

When she returned home that day and uploaded it online, she was shocked by its reception - countless views kept increasing: millions of views, tens of millions... Soon enough, almost all evening news programs were reporting on Rosendo's heroic act; thus everyone in New Mountain City University knew about this handsome young man.

The whole world thought that Rosendo had died. Many girls silently cried in front of the television. Rosendo's previous photos were shown on TV, he was handsome, sunny, and a simple beauty. People all over the world felt that it was such a pity for Rosendo to leave.

Seeing the scene of himself saving people on TV, seeing those girls crying for him on TV, Rosendo really wanted to tell the whole world loudly that he is not dead.

Vanessa just went to New Mountain City University for class today. She was very confused because she didn't know why everyone she met said to her, "Vanessa, take care and stay strong." Vanessa found it strange. What does "take care" mean? No one in her family has died. Why would they say this to her?

When she returned to the classroom and during class time, she heard her teacher talking about Rosendo sacrificing himself to save others at the podium. After finishing speaking, the teacher asked the whole class to observe three minutes of silence as a sign of respect for Rosendo. The same thing happened in other classrooms too - discussing what happened with Rosendo was their first task during class.

After Vanessa figured out what had happened, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. She wondered what kind of reaction there would be if Rosendo knew that the entire school observed three minutes of silence for him?
