Chapter 5 - Rebirth As Bai Xiu (2/2)

She realized she needed to think this whole thing through. Walking out of the bathroom, she found that beautiful girl pacing back and forth in worry.

”Thank God! You're alright!” The girl pulled Xiu in a warm hug as tears trickled down her face. Xiu's body was stiff and she didn't know how to reciprocate this kind gesture. She had no clue who this beautiful soul was but she reckoned that she was the original owner's best friend. ”I've been so worried about you.”

As she felt that Xiu had no reaction and there was a strange look in her eyes, Nora had called for the doctor. After a thorough check-up, the doctor questioned, ”Can you tell me your name?”

Xiu bit her lip and said, ”I don't remember.” She definitely had no desire to mention that she was Chen Xiu in the body of someone else. She might end up in a mental asylum or worse, like a lab rat!

The doctor didn't seem fazed by her words as he continued to ask her some other questions.

”Uncle, how is she?” Nora asked the doctor as he came out of the room. ”She stayed in a coma for a week. And now, she seems different.”

”Nora, I already warned you to be prepared. Your friend went through some trauma which led to her this state. As for now, she seems to be suffering from amnesia.”

”It is temporary?” Nora asked with an earnest look.

”We can't be sure. Perhaps, her trauma is too big for her young self.” The doctor patted her shoulder before leaving.

Nora slowly walked back inside the room to see Xiu curled up on the bed with a dazed look in her eyes. She seemed like a lost kitten. Her eyes had lost their l.u.s.ter.

”Xiu!” Nora called out softly as she sat beside her on the bed and stroked her hair saying, ”It's okay if you can't remember anything. I'm gonna stay with you. I'll be your memory manual.” Xiu was bewildered to see her charming smile.

And it was Nora who told her that her name was Bai Xiu. It was ironic that both owners of this body shared the same given name.

As for Nora herself...

She was a Latin-American beauty who moved to China when her mother remarried a Chinese businessman. She was only 14 at that time and in just 4 years, she was quite fluent in Mandarine.

Getting infectious by her love and gentleness, Xiu sat up and hugged her back with a small smile. But alas! Her care was for the Bai Xiu who was already gone.

”You scared me, girl. Why did you go to the cemetery?” Nora seemed like she was reprimanding her but in fact, it was her peculiar way to show her Latin love. ”Anyway, welcome back to the land of the living.”

Xiu looked into her clear and bright eyes saying, ”Indeed, it's welcome back.” Only Xiu knew what she meant. With those words, she had decided to leave the shadows of her past behind. Chen Xiu was dead and nobody could change that fact.

Now, only Bai Xiu would live. And she will live her life to the fullest.

Goodbye, Chen Xiu!

The world didn't need you. And it will never need you again. Let's bury Chen Xiu and her memories right here.
