My head started to feel dizzy again. So many things have happened in these few days that I couldn't sort out my thoughts for a while.
What I couldn't believe the most was that the girl who had always been around me turned out to be a member of a different race, a race completely different from ours. It was so unbelievable that if I told others, they would surely think I was crazy.
I didn't sleep a wink all night. When day broke, my eyes were swollen like walnuts. Li Aide was startled when he saw me and couldn't help but tut-tut, "If Ian knew how much you love him, would he come back to you?"
I ignored him and walked out of the door with my textbooks in my hands.
At noon, in the student cafeteria, while I was sitting in the corner studying, I accidentally saw Ian and Pei Xiaoyan. They seemed to have a very good relationship. They were being affectionate with each other while queuing, kissing each other from time to time, looking very much in love. Ian had forgotten about me just like that and all that we had in the past.
A pang of sadness welled up in my heart. I packed up my textbooks and left quietly.
In the afternoon, I received a call from Han Meilin. She said, "I have made a slight modification to the condition. If you can help me complete the task of collecting information, I will help you fulfill your emotional wishes within my ability. The target includes Ian but is not limited to him."
To be honest, this condition was quite tempting and more attractive to me than the previous one.
I asked myself, was I really such an emotional person? I was a bit hesitant.
In the evening, when she called again to confirm my intention, I asked her, "If I agree, what will you ask me to do?"
"I will ask you to disguise as their appearance and enter their lives. Like a scholar or a journalist, you will go deep into their emotional world and remember everything you see, hear and think. When you come back, I just need to hold your hand. You just need to relax completely, and I will be able to feel everything you have felt. Of course, in order not to forget your feelings, you can also bring a diary to record what you see. After you come back, read it first and then let me feel your experiences."
"Is it that simple?" I was a bit skeptical. It was just like going there for a trip and then "passing on" what I saw and heard to her, just like writing a travel journal.
"Yes, it is that simple."
"Okay, I agree." I finally agreed to her request.
She was very happy and said she would come to pick me up right away. I was surprised and asked, "So soon?"
"Yes, there's no time to lose. We have to act quickly. You can leave a note at home saying that you are going on a trip and will come back in a few months."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, I quickly prepared for the upcoming long journey. I wrote a note, put a diary, a ballpoint pen, biscuits and other things into my travel bag.
The night was deep. Li Aide hadn't come back from her date with her boyfriend. I put on my travel bag and walked on the quiet street in the thick night fog, getting farther and farther away from the house where I lived.
