Chapter 1387: Contact

Translator: 549690339 

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and New Year’s Eve was approaching.

S city had always been a place with terrible weather. Not only was it cold in the winter and hot in the summer, but the air was also humid and sickening during the days of extreme cold and heat.

This year was no exception …

Even if the weather was cold and humid, people still had to go out and run for their lives.

Day after day, they walked through the cold streets, squeezed into the subway, stepped into the lifeless office, and did a long and boring work. Then, they dragged their tired bodies back home and exhausted the last bit of energy in front of a cold screen …

And on the second day, the cycle would repeat itself.

This was the true face of life. It was hard and bitter, but people still had to endure it. This patience was not only for survival, but also for the bits and pieces of happiness in life.

Of course, there were also some people who were working hard to catch the illusion of the “dream” that had yet to dissipate.

But in the end, only a few people could really reach the end point they wanted to go to in the beginning …

Most people were lost in the path of life. They had been worn down by time, and they had forgotten their original intentions in the process of chasing their dreams. They had turned from extraordinary children to ordinary adults.

…………

15th of January, noon, on a Street in the city center of S city.

The gloomy and cold weather seemed to have made people’s mood gloomy.

The expressions of the pedestrians could be roughly divided into two kinds, hurrying and pale and numb.

And among these people, there was one person … Who was different from the rest.

It was a woman, a woman with a bloated body.

Even if one ignored the factor of obesity, this woman’s appearance was not the word “beautiful.” Moreover, she didn’t have any makeup on, so she looked five or six years older than her actual age.

She was wearing a thick down jacket and a pair of cheap-looking jeans. Her short and thick legs seemed to stretch the jeans, making it difficult to look at her.

With such an image, the number of people who turned their heads while walking on the street was naturally not high.

However, this was exactly what she wanted. Yingluo didn’t want to attract attention.

“This is … The so-called …” She walked slowly on the sidewalk and muttered to herself,”…’Real world’…” Her eyes darted around, collecting all the images that could be obtained visually, and her eyes … Were still glowing with white light.”Compared with other universes composed of disorderly natural evolution sequences … Other than being a little more boring, what else is there to be proud of …”

No one heard her mumbling. Even if someone heard it, they wouldn’t care or ignore it as if it was a Chuunibyou.

“If ‘fate’ did not connect our universe with this place and establish a ‘superior-subordinate’ relationship, the so-called ‘dimensional difference’ would not have existed.” As she spoke, she looked down at her hands and clenched her fists.”In terms of ‘strength’, we anomalies are obviously more …”

As she said this, her expression suddenly changed. In the same second, the light in her eyes became a little mottled and dull.

“He’s noticed so quickly …” She mumbled with a blank expression.”As expected, with the current situation, it’s still too hard to come to’ this side ‘…” She sighed.”Sigh … I wanted to see’ him ‘… Forget it, there will be a chance in the future.”

After saying that, the light in her eyes quickly disappeared.

In the next second, the woman’s expression changed. Along with it, her standing posture, the temperament between her brows, and so on changed …

After this change happened, she immediately looked around with a panicked expression and instinctively crossed her arms, as if to protect herself.

Her reaction was extremely similar to that of a person who had just woken up from a dream …

…………

At the same time, in another part of S city, in Feng bujue’s home.

“Dong Dong Dong!”

“Time to eat.” Brother Jue knocked on the door to his room as he raised his voice.

Even though it was his room, because Ruoyu had moved in recently, brother Jue had returned to the days where ‘you have to knock on the door before you can enter the room, and you have to sleep in the game cabin at night’.

“Ah … I’m here …” After a breath, a weak reply came from the room.

After another five minutes, when Feng bujue finished serving the dishes, arranging the utensils, and sitting down, the door to the room opened.

He saw RUO Yu, who was blushing and looked sickly, walking out of the room in her pajamas and a blanket.

“Actually … If you need it, I can divide the food and bring it to your bed.” Feng bujue’s tone was very calm. It seemed like he was used to the situation before him.

“It’s just a cold … You don’t have to go that far … Hiss …” RUO Yu said as she sniffled.”Besides, getting up and moving around is good for the body.”

“What surprises me is …” Feng bujue looked at RUO Yu, who was slowly walking toward him.”You cultivators can catch a cold?”

“First of all, I’m not an immortal cultivator. I’m a spiritual ability user.” Facing brother Jue’s teasing, RUO Yu was now able to deal with it with ease.”Secondly, even if I’m a cultivator, I haven’t trained my psionic power to the level where I can kill the bacteria from a cold.”

After saying that, RUO Yu walked to the table and pulled out a chair to sit down.

“Hmm …” Feng bujue said,”considering that you are still in a state where you can not have physical contact with others, you will not be able to seek medical treatment. What if you suddenly have a high fever and it does not go down?”

Hearing that, RUO Yu thought about it for a few seconds. Then, she put down the chopsticks she had just picked up and extended a hand to brother Jue.”Why don’t you try holding my hand?”

“Hey, hey …” Feng bujue immediately backed away.”What are you doing?” It’s not the first or second time my arm has dislocated these past two weeks …”

“It’s already been two weeks. The symptoms might have been alleviated.”Also … I feel very weak and can’t use much strength …” RUO Yu continued,”you can try it first. If it’s okay to touch your hand, as long as you’re careful on the road, you should be able to go to the hospital to get some medicine.”

“Hmm …” Feng bujue sighed again and thought about it for a few seconds.”Fine …”

As he finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and held RUO Yu’s hand.

“Eh?” Two seconds later, brother Jue’s brows relaxed.”It looks like it’s really fine!”

In the past ten days … Especially the first few days, Feng bujue had tried to touch RUO Yu’s body more than once. Of course … He had mainly tried to grab her hands or shoulders. However, RUO Yu was like a freakish AI in a fighting game. Every time they made contact, she would immediately return the favor with a throwing technique.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t make a move this time …

“Wait …” But Feng bujue was only happy for five seconds before he felt pain coming from his feet.

He lowered his head to look under the table and realized that RUO Yu was stepping on his foot.

“What are you …” Brother Jue only asked half a sentence.

“My feet moved on their own, I can’t do anything about it,” RUO Yu interrupted.

“Oh … So that means …” Feng bujue then used a concluding tone to say,”the natural reaction that occurs after you make physical contact with a human has changed from ‘want your life’ to’ punch you to death ‘?”

“Yes …” RUO Yu nodded.”But I can’t be sure if it’s caused by a cold or because I’ve gotten used to your touch to a certain extent.”

“Hehe …” When Feng bujue heard that, he laughed.”Then, the next step will be to try to change the position, method, and strength of the touch.” As he spoke, his eyes wandered restlessly to various parts of RUO Yu’s body.

There was no doubt that brother Jue was being cheeky. If you asked him why he chose to do it at this time and place … He would not be able to answer that.

An expert who had reached the level of being one with his base power did not need to think before taking action …

It was just like those dissing experts, as long as there was a point of dissing, they would instinctively complain, and they would not be happy if they did not complain.

Feng bujue was in the same situation. Therefore, after he was done, he received RUO Yu’s one-handed arm throw that was not instinctive …

In any case, he had used a special method to confirm that the patient’s condition was not too serious. As he lay on the ground and felt the pain from his arms and back, brother Jue’s heart finally let out a sigh of relief.
