Xu Fang didn't understand what Luo Xiaoming meant. "We haven't seen each other for only two days, right?"

His tone seemed distant, bringing Luo Xiaoming, who was immersed in happiness, back to reality.

"Xu Fang, do you remember? You helped me break the curse, destroyed the Destruction Association, and the adventures we had in the United States!"

"Curse? Association? United States?" Xu Fang was puzzled. "I'm not quite sure what you mean, Xiaoming. Are you brainstorming a novel or something?"

Luo Xiaoming felt the other person's confusion.

He didn't remember, did he delete his own memory? Or...

"Xu Fang, what's the date today?"

"October 15th."

"October... 15th?" Luo Xiaoming was stunned – she had gone back a month! No wonder Laowang and the others appeared so lively in front of her. In Luo Xiaoming's memory, her roommates had their accident around the 26th.

In addition to that, there were a few other crucial points in time –

On the 21st, Xu Fang experienced a "worm email" bizarre event.

Luo Xiaoming had talked with Xiao Zhe and knew that Xu Fang was the author of "that website," and the other authors attacked Xu Fang on the 25th, killing Xu Fang's roommate on the 26th.

Her father, Luo Qingyuan, was possessed by a vengeful spirit and killed at the end of October, exact time unknown but definitely before November. Luo Bing's mother followed shortly after.

The deaths of her roommates and the deaths of her parents... these all had to be avoided!

Luo Xiaoming quickly gathered her thoughts and looked at Xu Fang earnestly. "Xu Fang, you may not believe me, but I am Luo Xiaoming from a month in the future. I need to tell you what is going to happen so we can be prepared."

"The future?"

Without hesitation, Luo Xiaoming grabbed Xu Fang and pulled him to the edge of the bed, telling him everything that was about to happen.

Going back to the past – Luo Xiaoming had no intention of hiding anything, at least not from Xu Fang. Her power was so insignificant that she had no ability to change the future. Only Xu Fang could do that. Maybe he could explain why she had gone back in time.

Although Xu Fang was skeptical, he still listened attentively to Xiao Ming's story and showed a thoughtful expression.

"No, Xiaoming, what you said is not right." After thinking for a moment, Xu Fang raised an objection.

"What I said is true..."

"No, I'm not doubting your sincerity. It's just that what you said and the existing reality are not matching up." Xu Fang accurately identified the contradiction. "Everything you said is based on the premise that I am the 'author' of that website, but in reality, I have never had any contact with that website and have no idea what it is."

"Huh? Really?" This time Luo Xiaoming was confused. Xu Fang went through all those experiences because he was the "author." If Xu Fang had never been in contact with "that website," then how would the future unfold?

No, if Xu Fang was not the "author," then what was the reason for the changes in her body? Luo Xiaoming touched herself to confirm that she was still a woman.

Whether she was transmigrated or physically transported here, she still had to face a gender issue.

"Wait, if you've never had any contact with that website, then how did I become a girl?"

"You... aren't you?" Xu Fang was astonished.

"You turned me into a girl through that website and then told me I couldn't change back. I was originally a guy!"

Xu Fang was greatly surprised. "Why would I do that?"

"Who knows! Who knows what's going on in your head?"

"Uh, sorry... But based on the development of this world, you were already a woman to begin with, so your gender shouldn't have anything to do with me."

"Then how did I end up in the male dormitory?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but I speculate... maybe you were just curious and wanted to experience what it's like to live in the men's dormitory. You came here through your family's connections and only stayed at school for a few days before moving out. You occasionally come back to the dormitory." Is that right? Luo Xiaoming is unaware.

"Oh, my phone..." Luo Xiaoming unlocked her phone and found that the date displayed was also October 15th, with half of the battery remaining. This was her previous phone, the iPhone X. After coming to the United States, she got a new phone, and naturally, the text messages from the new phone wouldn't exist.

Could it be that all of my previous experiences were just a dream?

Besides her own memories, Luo Xiaoming had no evidence from the future.

No matter how she thought about it, the current situation seemed more realistic, right? Luo Xiaoming fell into self-doubt.

"Do you know the theory of parallel worlds? Xiao Ming, maybe your experiences are all stories of another world. The space, matter, energy, physical laws, and physical constants in that world are exactly the same as this world, but the development is different. All tragedies that have happened there won't occur in this world, so you can rest assured," Xu Fang smiled. "Here, your identity is different from what it was in that previous world. It's better to adapt proactively. This world doesn't have all the chaos of associations and bizarre events. A stable life isn't bad either."

"Oh." She was inexplicably convinced by what was said.

"Well, since your thoughts seem confused, I'll go out and buy dinner. Take some time to think," Xu Fang said.

"Don't go..."

"I'll be back soon. The restaurant downstairs is very close. What do you want to eat?"

"Just anything."

After Xu Fang left, Luo Xiaoming sat there for a while, feeling at a loss.

Is there really a parallel world? Then, her previous experiences were equivalent to a dream?

She flipped through her contacts list, and her interpersonal relationships remained as simple as before.

Besides her immediate family and friends, there was no one else.

When she saw her father's phone number, her hand trembled. In the end, she pressed the dial button.

"Luo Xiaoming?" There were only two beeps of static before the call connected, and a familiar and deep voice came from the other end of the line.

"Dad?"

"Hmm, is there something wrong?"

Father... Father is still alive...

Thinking of all the things that happened in the past, Luo Xiaoming had an urge to cry in an instant. After experiencing so much, Luo Xiaoming no longer resented Luo Qingyuan.

Luo Qingyuan was just an unsuccessful father, not a perfect person. He made many mistakes, and he was aware of them and tried to make amends.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice."

Luo Qingyuan fell silent for a moment and asked, "Is something troubling you?"

"No, I'm doing well. Also, please take care of your health, Dad."

"Well, you too."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xiaoming called Luo Bing.

"Luo Xiaoming?" Luo Bing's voice came on.

"Luo Bing, I have a question for you." Talking to Luo Bing felt less formal. Luo Xiaoming got straight to the point. "Do you remember the curse from before?"

"Curse?" Luo Bing sounded puzzled. "Sister, are you watching another horror film? Don't come and scare me late at night. I'm alone in an empty room right now."

Something felt strange in Luo Xiaoming's heart. Luo Bing had never called her "sister" before. Was it because their relationship improved in this world?

"I'm not joking, I'm serious. Did you ever experience any supernatural events before, or have any experiences with curses?"

"No, come on, it's the modern era now. Don't tell me you still believe in feudal superstitions?"

"I see..."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xiaoming's tightly wound defenses completely relaxed.

There are no ghosts in this world, no curses, no bizarre websites...

No one has died.

A perfect world of peace, truth, and no one getting hurt. Isn't this the world she wanted? Hoping this wasn't a dream, Luo Xiaoming couldn't help but pinch herself again, this time with some force. "Ouch!" The sensation of happiness and reality in the pain...

Xu Fang walked out of the hospital with a serious expression. Normal people wouldn't believe Luo Xiaoming's nonsense, but Xu Fang was shaken. He had doubts about this world and whether it was real. Did he overlook something? He went through his memories again and didn't find anything unusual. His memories were ordinary, like a flawless template. He couldn't find any flaws. For now, he decided to observe.

Due to Luo Xiaoming's severe dehydration and damaged digestive function, Xu Fang didn't buy salty food. He only bought some porridge, fruits, and light dishes. After finishing dinner, Xu Fang planned to leave, but Luo Xiaoming stopped him. "Don't leave my sight tonight," Luo Xiaoming said. "In my old world, on the early morning of the 16th, something bizarre happened in our dorm room 607. We almost faced a disaster. So, please stay here with me, okay?" Luo Xiaoming knew that the bizarre event wouldn't happen, and this was just an excuse she created to keep Xu Fang with her. "Alright," Xu Fang couldn't refuse Luo Xiaoming's pleading eyes. "But I've never spent the night alone with a girl my age..." "Are you shy?" Luo Xiaoming looked at him with a half-smile. "My complicated feelings are more than just shyness," Xu Fang said. "In your old world, I was a virtual character created by someone else, right? But here, I confirm that I am real. I have family, friends, parents... The 'Xu Fang' you know may not be the same as me..." "You are him! My instincts won't deceive me!" Luo Xiaoming said. "Even though we haven't spent much time together, I can tell the real you, even if a duplicate with the same memories as you wants to disguise as you, I won't be fooled because we have a deep connection." "Is that so?" Xu Fang sighed. "I am lucky to have a friend like you." "We are more than friends," Luo Xiaoming said, blushing a little. She felt like she had the upper hand. People who have experienced life-threatening situations are bound to change, whether it's becoming crazy, calm, indifferent, or apathetic... But the original Xu Fang was just a naive teenager, an incredibly ordinary person who couldn't stand out in a crowd. "More than friends?" "Yes, we have lived together," Luo Xiaoming casually said. Xu Fang was shocked. "We've already reached that stage in our relationship?" "Yes, and we have done everything we should've done!" she said, feeling a bit guilty. The things they should've done (referring to kissing and holding hands) did happen, even though Xu Fang was mentally unstable at that time. Xiao Ming could never forget it. But obviously, Xu Fang misunderstood something. He turned his head and covered his eyes. "That's a lot of information. I need some time to cool down." "Let's spend time together, Xu Fang," Luo Xiaoming admired his flustered expression, her face slightly flushed but still composed.
