"Professor Lin, I will have to leave early today so I can only attend half of the lecture."
Professor Lin sighed with disappointment at Hua. The doctor didn't even write an excuse why his student would be absent for the later half of his class. Young adults these days just can't sit still and focus on studying anymore. Professor Lin accepted the doctor's note and waves Hua to sit down. It was 5mins before lecture started. Hua went to the usual spot in the far back, closest to the door. It was the beginning of autumn season so the weather had be hot and humid from random days of rain before the cool winds came to lower the temperature in the atmosphere. Hua listened seriously and wrote some notes down on his notebook.
It wasn't that he didn't know anything about the subject, he actually knows all about the subject as well as other knowledge he has mastered. His mind had wisdom and experience not fitting with his current age. Yes, he was a world traveler. After traveling to multiple worlds of various types, he finally gathered enough points to return to his original world. He remembered all his experiences very vividly but for some reason he had a feeling in the back of his mind, telling him that he had forgotten something very important. No matter how hard he tries to recall, it turns out blank. After a few tries, he gave up. If he could remember that one thing, it probably was that important anyways.
He had gotten into a accident at 15 years old. Then he gained a system that spoke to him through telepathy and explained what he needed to do to return to his world. He agreed to the task and bounded to the system. After he returned, the system had not responded to his mental calls. It was like a big dream but his memories proved to him that he did travel through worlds and returned. Hua went through his daily life simply and with ease. To enjoy the present time and appreciate everything this world had to offer.
Hua arrived at the hospital and went to the highest level. He knocked on the door and the person within told him to enter.
"Ah, Hua. You didn't have issues with your professor I hope."
"Of course not. Although it's unnecessary for me to complete the rest of my art degree. It's fun to study other people's techniques and listen to stories of their experiences."
"Good good."
"So what was so urgent that you need me to help?"
"That's right, so the hospital researchers hope to get some advice on the cancer K you wrote about in your online novel."
A few years ago, when he just returned to this world, he had written a fictional apocalyptic novel on the popular and well known novel website on a whimp. Not realizing that his concept was so detailed enough that scientists and researchers were able to connect it to a newly discovered cancer to create a cure for. He was still a poor orphan back then and suddenly hit it big. His novel had many views and was well received by the world. He received a huge benefit and reward for being the main person to contribute in creating the cure for cancer K. That was how he became a famous fictional author and accidentally help find a cure for cancer K.
Hua did a lecture in the large meeting room of the hospital. Everyone that was part of the laboratory for cancer K listened with bright eyes and worship for Hua. They called him the cancer genius. Afterwards, Hua left to do his bartending job at a high end hotel near his apartment.
"Boss, do you need me to help you with anything before I go over behind the bar?"
"Hey kid, you're early today. Don't you usually have a later class today?"
Hua had started this job when he was apartment searching and the old boss lady needed her stuff be carried into the hotel. Apparently an old worker quit and took two other coworkers with him to a new job. He had heard the boss complain under her breath from a distance but he had heightened senses. He went over to help and the boss offered a job when she saw he was wearing extremely worn out clothing. He didn't correct her and accepted the job. From being a little server to a bartender, he had the experience but it'll be weird if he knew how to shake cocktails and mix alcohol at such a young age.
Hua worked like normal, some gay men tried to get his number but he politely declined. Others wanted him to be their sugar baby or hookup but he also declined. From 15yrs old to currently being 19yrs old, Hua had no urge to find himself a lover. He didn't feel the need to settle down with another and he even felt a bit cold-hearted. The good men and bad men all tried to get with him but he refused on the first sign of them about to fall for him. It kind of irritated him on how he could romantically love another. It was like his heart was missing a piece and it felt empty. He was a hundred percent certain that it was related to the piece of memory he had forgot and can't recall no matter what.
Hua finished his shift and put his cash tips into his wallet. Well, it looked like he was putting it in his wallet but he was putting it in his storage space. Yep, he had a storage space. And surprisingly, everything he put in there from previous worlds was still accessible to him even now. Hua didn't look deeply in his storage space but if he had, he would have realized that there were a lot of items in pairs. Matching couple items and outfits. Which was another remind that could have signal to Hua that he forgot something or a special someone that may be waiting for him somewhere.
