Chapter 5 A Surprise Space (1)_1
She was a dreamy girl, in the bloom of youth. Yet, why did she seem a bit dazed, a bit foolish, and sometimes even lost in thought? And why did she dress in such an old-fashioned and unsophisticated way? What could have caused this flower of a girl to change like this?
In the bathroom, Shangguan You looked at the tender face reflected in the mirror and spaced out. The girl in the mirror was sixteen years old, in the prime of her youth. Her choppy bangs covered her smooth forehead, and her ebony hair was combed into a ponytail, neatly tied behind her.
She was swathed in an oversized school uniform that enveloped her slender frame, and a pair of large glasses perched on her face, covering most of her cheeks. Plain, stiff. These were Shangguan You’s first impressions of this body’s appearance. How could someone living in a room fit for a Princess look so hopelessly plain?
She shook her head and took off her glasses; she was unused to wearing them from her previous life. A clear glimmer flashed through her dark, glossy eyes. Once the glasses were removed, the girl in the mirror brightened up considerably. So the glasses also had a concealing function.
She carefully washed off the blood on her nose and rinsed her hands under the running water. Originally, there was an exquisite and ancient purple bracelet on her wrist, now stained by her blood.
The water cleaned the bracelet, and as she washed, a warm feeling spread from her wrist throughout her body, making her feel exceptionally comfortable.
Suddenly, a purple light flashed, and the bracelet on Shangguan You’s wrist vanished.
"Ah," Shangguan You couldn’t help but exclaim at the eerie scene before her. What was going on? The bracelet was clearly on my hand; I can feel every bead distinctly. I can sense the warmth of the beads, so why can’t I see them with my eyes?
She rubbed her wrist vigorously, and a bizarre sight suddenly appeared before her: a gigantic purple space materialized in front of her eyes.
