Chapter 341: Fate
In the evening, she closed the door, first took off her clothes and put on a cotton nightgown she had made herself, without wearing any underwear, not even a chest binder, and suddenly felt that her whole being was breathing more freely.
Binding her chest was indeed too uncomfortable. If she could endure it, she would—the winter months would arrive in a few months and she could wear looser clothing. At home during the summer it didn’t matter, but once at school, she would suffer.
Not afraid of causing any problems, she stretched comfortably, walked in front of the mirror and looked at the wound on her head.
Her hair had grown longer, now below her ears, reminiscent of a student’s haircut from the Republic’s era, with straight bangs that looked rather silly. However, most people had this kind of hairstyle nowadays, and she would get used to it. What pleased her most was that the hair on top of her head had grown significantly, and the scars were almost invisible now. Jian Zhiqing said that they were barely noticeable. Although she was not a perfectionist, the thought of having an extra scar on her head was indeed somewhat obsessive-compulsive.
She opened the drawer and took out the scar removal medicine, poured some on her head and started to apply it, not knowing how much ended up in her hair and how much on her scalp, but as long as her scalp was covered, it was fine.
After applying it, she crawled under the covers, the soft mattress sinking down. The scent of sunshine and laundry detergent on the quilt was very comforting. Sleeping in such a bed, she was bound to sleep well throughout the night.
However, she was startled awake by a nightmare in the middle of the night.
She touched her forehead and found it covered in sweat, her whole body drenched as well.
"Oh, life..." She breathed out a turbid breath and thought of the scene in her dream. Though it was a dream, she knew it wasn’t just that because it would happen, and soon.
