In the cafeteria.
Yu Mei stood in the queue waiting for her turn to come. As pathetic as it was, she was going to eat the same food she once despised.
When her turn came, she simply paid the money and selected a decent set of meal for herself.
''Excuse me?" She looked at the owner of the cafeteria who was glancing at her unblinkingly.
''Miss, can you turn your face to the right?" The man asked.
She turned her face to the right, "Is there something on it?"
"A bit left please…"
She raised an eyebrow but eventually turned her face to the left as there was no harm in it.
Something seemed to have clicked in his mind as he immediately ran inside.
'Weird..' She thought to herself and went to take a seat on the table while waiting for her order to be served.
Yesterday was very uneventful as she spent the whole day in Li Shuang's place who left for a date with her boyfriend.
Professor Zhang's call was a surprise for her. And what she said turned out to be a very pleasant surprise at a moment like this.
Mia had yet to wake up but she was not worried about the fox this time as it was still in her body and she could feel their mind connection, leading her to know that she was just sleeping and there was nothing wrong with her.
While she was thinking about this, her food was served on the table, its aroma hovering around her nose.
Maybe because she did not eat anything in the morning, she was so hungry that this unappetizing food also looked delicious to her.
She thanked the waiter before digging in.
And only one bite was enough to change her cloudy mood to rainbow. The food seemed like coming straight from a seven-star hotel.
'Maybe only their sandwich is bad and the rest of the food is good,' she thought to herself and continued stuffing it in her mouth until a childish voice rang in her mind.
'I thought you were losing weight?'
Yu Mei paused, 'Mia, are you awake?'
'Yes.'
'We have a lot of things to discuss,' She said and quickly finished her food before walking out of the cafeteria.
As soon as she entered the dorms, she quickly shut the door behind her. ''Come out,'' She said and in a flash, Mia appeared in front of her in her fox form before transforming to her human form immediately.
''You…You look a bit taller," Yu Mei said after scanning the girl from head to toe.
Mia glanced around the place they were in as she played with her long silver hair, 'As I recover my powers, I'll recover my real form along with it,'' she answered before looking at her in confusion, ''Where are we?"
''Uni dorms," Yu Mei answered before explaining it to her in detail.
In fact, till yesterday, she was also sure that she would not get to stay in the dormitory considering that the last date for the admission process and fees payment was long over but she was taken aback when Professor Zhang informed her that the final dates are postponed and she can still live in dorms.
What surprised her further was why would Professor Zhang call her personally to inform her about this to which the professor's reply was, 'I am calling all my students who haven't paid for dorms to inform about it personally.'
And it did not seem over the top considering Professor Zhang's antics.
'You can even invite your friends or bring someone to stay with you,' The lady further added before hanging up, leaving Yu Mei praising the university's nice facilities.
They really do care about their students.
''Oh? So that's how it is," Mia elegantly walked towards the bed and took a seat, "What did you want to talk about?"
''I think I saw my brother but I was so drunk that I could not remember it properly. Sight...What to do now?"
Mia glanced at her, "I'll check your memories,'' As soon she said that, she closed her eyes and connected their minds, before looking through all the past memories in the two days she was asleep.
As she opened her eyes, she glanced at Yu Mei begrudgingly, "How could you have both men and wine alone?" was the first thing she asked, "I also want to go to that brothel."
"B-Brothel?" Yu Mei was speechless. As soon as she asked that, her blurry memories gradually got clearer as it played like a movie under Mia's control.
''It was really him…'' Yu Mei said after a long time. A smile crept up her lips as she looked at Mia, "It was my brother."
"He was wearing a mask," the little girl said, disinterestedly.
''I can recognize him no matter how many masks he wears.''
"And why will you be so happy about it? You were wasted that night and you both could not reunite," Mia was curious about it. Shouldn't she feel regretful instead of feeling happy?
"At least, I'm sure that he is safe. It bothered me to see no updates about him in tabloids. But now that I am sure he is fine, I'll find a way to contact him anyway," She felt regretful for sure but something was better than nothing. At least, her brother was fine.
"T...Tab?"
"Tabloids….the ones which tell you about news or updates about famous people.."
Mia nodded, "I want to learn all these things from you," She thought for a moment before continuing, "Since this is my last life, I want to see the world and live properly.''
Yu Mei paused, "I'll teach you. But you must have a longer life than me. What are you worried about?" Even if she was not an immortal, she would still live past centuries, won't she?
Mia blinked for a moment before lowering her head as she looked at her small fingers.
''Mia, there is one more thing."
"What?'' She tilted her head only to find the woman looking at her with a slightly nervous gaze and that made Mia curious about what the matter could be.
