"Return to the real world!"
With Student Xiao D’s monotonous mechanical voice, He Tiantian’s divine soul was extracted from the space of the library.
Upon opening her eyes, the familiar yet strange bed once again came into view.
He Tiantian still lay in the same flat position as before she traveled through time, and when she looked up, she saw the school dormitory’s pristine white ceiling.
Turning her head to the left and right, she saw the tightly closed bed curtains.
It was still the familiar pattern, and beyond the curtains were the familiar sounds of roommates whispering, the rustle of writing, the flipping of pages, the sounds of changing clothes, and more.
All of the emotions He Tiantian had in the novel world had been stripped away; she felt as though she had merely been having a series of long, realistic dreams.
Only the feelings from the first world remained, and since she had transmigrated into that world as a fetus, she always had the illusion that the first world was her real life.
In her subconscious, she also thought of He Hongtu and Tian Zhenzhen from the first world as her biological parents.
He Tiantian slowly sat up and pulled back the bed curtains, and the bright sunshine immediately flooded in.
He Tiantian squinted against the light, and only after adjusting to the dazzling rays did she open her eyes again.
Looking at the blue sky, white clouds, and the bright sun outside the window, as well as the various noises coming from the distant campus, He Tiantian gradually felt a sense of reality.
This was her familiar real life, not one of those novel worlds that demanded her utmost cunning and strategies.
Taking a deep breath, He Tiantian climbed down from the top bunk.
The student dormitory at County First Middle School had a layout of an upper bunk above a desk, and He Tiantian’s bed was no exception.
Descending from her bed and coming to her own desk, she slowly sat down in her chair.
"Tiantian, what are you planning to deal with?" Xiao D asked curiously.
He Tiantian glanced at her tidy yet somewhat empty desk and then at Zhou Zixuen’s computer on the desk opposite her, suddenly realizing she had a lot of things to deal with.
First, she needed to buy a laptop.
It wasn’t that He Tiantian didn’t have the money to purchase one before, but with smartphones becoming more and more useful by the day, it seemed as though computers had lost their significance.
For ordinary studying and dealing with everyday issues, a smartphone was enough.
But there were times when she needed a computer.
He Tiantian carefully organized her thoughts and planned out the things she had to do next, realizing she indeed would need a computer.
Besides, she needed a definite result from Director Feng Jing’s side, and if nothing unexpected occurred, she would have to make a trip to the Capital City.
The Capital City... well, that was good, as something on He Tiantian’s to-do list really did need to be completed there.
"There are lots of things to handle!"
He Tiantian reviewed her list in her mind, checking for anything she might have missed, while communicating her thoughts to Xiao D.
"He Xianer, what are you daydreaming about?"
Zhou Zixuen entered the room, drenched in sweat, holding a basketball in her hand.
Without asking, it was clear she had just returned from playing basketball on the playground.
He Tiantian was taken aback. What was this nickname? Her new alias?
"Yes, you don’t know yet, right? After your stunning leap at the school sports meet opening ceremony, not just our class, but the whole student body of County First Middle School thinks you’re a true immortal!"
Zhou Zixuen placed the basketball down, took out a change of clothes from the cupboard, and before heading into the bathroom, she stopped by the door to chat with He Tiantian for a few moments.
"Everyone initially wanted to call you He God, but it could easily lead to homophones like River God or He Shen, so everyone just settled on He Xianer!"
"You truly are an immortal, tsk tsk. I just went to play basketball with those beasts from Class Three. Those sports students were trying to mimic your soaring leap. Too bad, you’re He Xianer, and they are not!"
So the aerial archery and such were exclusive to He Tiantian, He Xianer. Other sports students, even those who practiced Taekwondo or Martial Arts, found it hard to replicate!
It seemed like "hehe" was the only appropriate response she had.
"Right, when did you schedule with Director Feng?"
Since Director Feng had contacted He Tiantian through Zhou Zixuen’s mother, and He Tiantian was Zhou Zixuen’s good friend, she was rather interested in this matter.
"Next weekend." He Tiantian had organized all her memories and answered without any pressure.
"Do you need to take time off?"
"Shouldn’t have to, I’m flying there. Just a few hours round trip."
And the audition, at most, would only take half a day.
