Chapter 48: Just which world is the real one?

“First in the whole school? Quiz King’s Number 1 God? Is there anything else you’re hiding? Just say it now, so we don’t have to hear it from other people. Others will even start to wonder if our Ning family has some internal conflict.”

Ning Xiu’s tone was indifferent, but it made people feel a little scared.

Ning Yi was aware that she was wrong, but still curiously asked in a small voice, “Huh? How do you guys know? I still wanted to give you a surprise!”

Ning Xuemin explained, “Yan Youlin personally called me. He said his daughter was not sensible, and made you suffer injustice. He will definitely apologize in person tomorrow.”

Le Baiqiu angrily raised her hand like she was going to smack Ning Yi on the head, but put it down again and turned to pinch her cheek angrily. “Surprise! You didn’t tell us anything and made your family worry!”

Ning Yi was bewildered.

The always poor student leapt to the first in the whole school, isn’t this something worth being happy over? What is there to worry about?

But she had no time to ask before she was cut off by Le Baiqiu’s cry of alarm, “Why is your face so hot? Gosh! You have a fever, don’t you feel it? Why didn’t you say anything if you’re feeling unwell?!”

After the doctor’s inquiry and diagnosis, and the Ning family members’ elaboration, Ning Yi finally figured it out.

It turns out that when the original host was eight, she had accidentally fallen into the sea and nearly died at the time.

Later, after treatment and recovery, she was discharged. No one found any problems. Because the child could eat and sleep, run and jump. She didn’t seem different from before, it was just that her grades fell.

At first, the family thought she was behind in her studies from her stay at the hospital, but next, they very quickly realized that there seemed to be a problem with her memory.

When she was asked about things in the past, either she sidestepped the question, replied that it had never happened before, or she simply didn’t have an impression.

But after getting re-examined, the doctor didn’t find anything unusual.

In the end, the result given for the original host’s condition was that it was very possible that suffocation from drowning caused damage in the brain which affected the patient’s memory, but it shouldn’t hinder the growth of the body. Daily life and studies should not be greatly affected. Only, there might be problems turning short term memories into long term memories.

The Ning family members thought of many ways and saw many doctors. The conclusions they got were mostly the same and rarely different. In the end, they could only give up. Although the doctor said it wouldn’t affect her health, a problem with the brain made them unable to completely stop worrying. They could only check regularly.

This was also the reason for how the doctor knew all her previous incidents which Ning Yi discovered when she fainted and came to the hospital last time.

No wonder no one in the Ning family cared about the original host’s grades. Her long term memory was damaged, even if she learned during class, she might’ve forgotten it all during the exam. How could she test well?

Ning Yi thought so, then felt weird.

Logically speaking, she was using the original host’s body right now. If there really was a problem with the original host’s brain, then her memory should also be affected! But since she had transmigrated, she had never felt anything off in studying or daily life.

Could it be that this was her gold finger? Her memory was stored in her spirit and not the brain??? This wasn’t scientific, okay!

Forget it, forget it, she had already transmigrated, what science is she talking about!

Ning Yi leaned against the sofa in the lounge, kneading her area between her eyebrows.

There was no problem before, but she felt a little dizzy now from going through all those examinations.

Le Baiqiu handed her the fever medicine and warm water. Stroking her hair in distress, she asked, “Are you tired? Do you need to lay down and rest a while?”

“No need, I’m not tired.” Ning Yi shook her head and drank a sip of water, but still felt that the taste of medicine still remained in her mouth.

She took out the satin pouch that Lu Xu Nan gave her this morning from her schoolbag, took out and unwrapped a piece of candy and ate it to suppress the taste of medicine before she exhaled comfortably.

Le Baiqiu saw the pouch and said, “Your Auntie Hong gave it?”

“En, she told Lu Xu Nan to give it to me this morning.” Ning Yi nodded.

Le Baiqiu smiled and said, “You’re fighting with Xiao Nan? I haven’t heard you call him by his full name in so long. You call ‘Nan gege Nan gege’ every day, making your brother jealous all the time.”

Ning Xiu, who was sitting on the side, humphed lightly when he heard her.

Still call him big brother? Impossible, let’s talk about it when he can beat me on a test!

Ning Yi thought this, glanced at Ning Xiu, and spoke with the intent of currying favor, “I won’t call him that way anymore, lest my brother be unhappy.”

Le Baiqiu only thought she was acting in anger, she smiled and shook her head.

At this time, the director of the Psychology department walked in with some students. Ning Xuemin and Ning Xiu immediately stood up to greet them.

Director Zhou smiled gently, “I’ve made you wait.”

Ning Xuemin shook hands with him, saying, “I’m troubled you again, how are the examination results?”

Director Zhou took over the report from a student and after looking through it page by page, he circled a small area on the nuclear magnetic resonance image and said, “That year, we had suspected your daughter’s memory was negatively impacted because the hippocampus was damaged, but we didn’t find any problems in the examinations. It’s the same this time, there isn’t anything unusual…”

Ning Xueming frowned slightly and pressed, “Then is Yiyi’s current condition considered completely recovered? Her memory and ability to study won’t suffer again?”

Director Zhou lightly shook his head, he said, “President Ning, I can’t guarantee this. The complexity of the makeup of the body and brain are beyond the imagination, and based on the accuracy of current medical diagnostic equipment, what we can find is still limited. But you don’t have to worry. Although we still haven’t found the reason for Yiyi’s recovery for the time being, we can guarantee that there are no organic pathological changes in the brain. Yiyi is very healthy. Furthermore…her memory and ability to study has increased, this is actually a good thing, right?”

The three Ning family’s older generation all couldn’t help feeling a little more relieved.

Ning Yi was the least worried. Because although the original host was thoroughly heartbroken and went abroad in the novel, it was never mentioned that she had any illness.

Ning Xiu asked, “My little sister fainted a month ago, will it have something to do with this? Will she faint again?”

“I’ve looked at her medical history, it should not have anything to do with this. At the time, examinations showed it was because of low blood sugar. Pay attention to food intake, replenish blood sugar on time, and don’t worry too much.”

At the end, Director Zhou brought up several cases of people who inexplicably became high-functioning individuals after getting injured and coming to the hospital, assuring them implicitly that a sudden increase in learning ability will not affect the patient’s health.

Le Baiqiu was completely relieved. She hugged Ning Yi, kissing her on the head, “This is great!”

Ning Xiu’s tense expression finally eased and he was in the leisurely mood to make trouble.

He looked at Ning Yi and said, “You found a change in yourself two or three months ago, and actually kept it from us without saying anything, you really! When you suddenly tested first place, I nearly thought you almost burned through your IQ chakra of the latter part of your life, and you can only be a fool from now on.”

This chakra… Do you think this is a manga?

I’m not Naruto, at most…I am just an average, normal problem-solving genius. Heehee.

Ning Yi silently criticized, but didn’t dare provoke her brother. She leaned on Le Baiqiu’s shoulder and acted pitiful. She changed the subject, “Aiya, I’m hungry, and a little dizzy…”

Ning Xiu looked at her trembling lashes and wandering eyes, and laughed in anger, “You, this girl! Other than acting pitiful, what else can you do?”

Ning Yi immediately widened her eyes, showed off, “I can also get first place!”

Ning Xiu raised his hand and wanted to flick her forehead. Ning Yi immediately leaned toward Le Baiqiu again. The latter reached out and smacked the former on the back of his hand, and biasedly hugged her daughter, “Don’t bully your sister. If you’re hungry, we’ll go home now and let Sister Tang make something delicious for you! You still have a fever, take leave for a couple of days and rest at home. Oh right, call Yu Hong and the rest over for dinner, let’s celebrate Yiyi’s first place!”

Ning Xuemin immediately approved of his beloved wife’s decision and said to Ning Yi, “Yiyi did so well this time, do you have something you want? I remember when we were traveling over the summer, you said you liked that yacht from H province? I’ll have someone transfer it under your name when we get back, it’ll be a reward for your studying.”

Ning Yi blinked and swallowed.

Dad, get a yacht for every first place I get, I’m afraid I’ll make you poor _(:3」∠)_

Ning Xiu heard his father’s words and said, dumbfounded, “Dad, can’t you tone it down a bit? You immediately pull out a yacht, what should I give?”

Ning Xuemin beamed and helped his daughter get the best deal from her brother: “Oh, don’t give anything less than eighty, it loses face.”

Directly dropping from a yacht to eighty dollars, Ning Yi felt it was a little unacceptable and said in displeasure, “Dad, you’re just going let me get eighty dollars from my brother?”

Ning Xiu pinched her face in anger, he said, “Your appetite is pretty big!”

Ning Yi thought in her heart: This is a big appetite? A day’s allowance for me is more than eighty dollars! When giving gifts, if it isn’t eight or ten thousand, there should be eight hundred in any case, no? Otherwise, why did you dislike losing in front of Dad’s yacht?

Only, she hadn’t spoken yet when she heard Ning Xiu continue, “Last month, I bid and bought a small pink diamond. Originally, I was going to give it to you as a present for your eighteenth birthday, but now I have to think about what to get again. You really benefited.”

!!! Pink diamond! Okay, I was wrong, it turns out you two talked about money by the ten thousands…

The startled Ning Yi weakly expressed: dbq, poverty limits my imagination quq

In the car on the way back, while everyone had their heads lowered on their phones or tablets taking care of work, Ning Yi sent a message of inquiry to Xu Xing Ji.

[I remember you told me before that you had a problem integrating after you transmigrated. Was it in the memory aspect?]

Xu Xing Ji replied very quickly.

[En? No, it’s…it’s like the spirit and the body isn’t compatible, this is easier to understand. What is it? Did something happen to you?]

Ning Yi couldn’t talk to anyone else about transmigration. Now that she was talking with fellow transmigrator Xu Xing Ji, she couldn’t stop talking.

[Nothing much, just that the memories I received from the original host after transmigrating weren’t very complete. Recently, I will occasionally see some memories flash by, that feeling… I don’t know how to describe it. Anyway, it’s making me a little unable to tell whether they’re the original host’s memories or mine… I thought you would also have these complications. In the end, we are not the same. Aren’t there a little too many bugs in this transmigration?!]

[Oh yeah, there are still some good parts. I just found out today that it turns out the original host’s brain was injured before when she was little. I heard it had a pretty big effect on memory, but after I transmigrated, there were no difficulties with memory. I don’t know how it recovered… If I wasn’t a transmigrator, I would probably lament that medicine is miraculous…]

This time, Xu Xing Ji’s reply took a while.

Ning Yi saw the question that popped up in the chat and was instantly bewildered–

[Then have you thought, to you, between this world and the world before- just which one is the real one?]
