What should I do if I lose my memory after transmigrating into a book?

Chapter 127: The Story Begins

A piercing mechanical sound tore through the sky.

"Danger! Danger! The male protagonist dies, and the world collapses."

"Ding, requesting... rescue."

……

A long time passed, so long it felt like a century had gone by.

Shen Xi woke up from her daze, her eyes half-closed in a daze.

In fact, she had prepared herself for never to wake up again on the day she made the deal, but she never expected that she would actually win this time.

Also, where is this?

Shen Xi slowly got up and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Could this be another time travel after her first time travel?

Wait, something seems off?

How did she get so short?!

Shen Xi stretched out her short hand in disbelief, and the dazzling sunlight shone in, casting a short shadow on the ground.

She shrunk?!

Little Shen Xi stood with her hands on her hips, wandering around the dilapidated house in a daze, completely unable to figure out what was going on.

Did she time travel or go on a reality show like "Transformation"?!

After looking around, Shen Xi couldn't even find a mirror or a sip of water in this dilapidated house. To say that it was utterly destitute would be an understatement.

Look, there are only three walls.

Great, but it can't shield you from the wind or the rain.

Shen Xi thought expressionlessly, "How am I supposed to smile and face this messed-up life? Can I even make a living by begging on the streets?"

Fortunately, fate hadn't blocked her way. After a thorough (robber-like) search, she found a tightly wrapped bag of Stanley urea solution. After dusting it off and opening it, she was surprised to find a bag full of cash inside!

Shen Xi stared dumbfounded at the bag of cash, her mind reeling.

Could this be counterfeit money?

How could a little kid have so much money?

As autumn arrived, a gust of cold wind blew in from the invisible fourth wall, waking Shen Xi from her daze.

Shen Xi immediately took out three or four sheets of paper, then quickly wrapped the yellow urea bag and stuffed it under the bed. She even tied up the scattered beverage bottles on the floor, put them in a bag, and stuffed them under the bed as well, to cover them up.

After doing all this, little Shen Xi was exhausted and lay on the ground without any regard for her image.

Oh, don't ask her why she's not lying in bed, because her tattered clothes don't match the clean bed at all.

Shen Xi looked at the mottled ceiling, blinked her watery eyes, and missed Jiang Ci and Jiang Du. She also wondered how Su Su was doing.

They... probably don't even remember her anymore.

"Eh."

Shen Xi sighed. Sure enough, she was starting to miss Jiang Ci's big house. Staying in this shabby place for a day felt like participating in a wilderness survival exercise.

I'm truly amazed at how people live their lives.

After sighing for the n+1th time, Shen Xi finally resigned himself to his fate and stood up.

Life is tough, Shen Xi sighed.

Shen Xi clutched the banknotes tightly, intending to go out and explore the situation in this world.

After leaving the dilapidated building, which could hardly be called a house, Shen Xi finally saw its condition: it was a dangerous building marked with the word "demolish".

If they weren't truly desperate, who would risk living here?

As Shen Xi walked, she made out the path, noticing that the grass was waist-high. She couldn't help but think of how she used to live like this with the kindergarten director when she was little; at least back then she had a home.

She shook her head, deciding to take it one step at a time; as long as she was alive, there was hope.

Regardless, she still had to live.

Now, nothing is more important than life.

She walked through the tall, grassy field, and her calf was cut by the grass, leaving a bloody gash, but Shen Xi didn't notice.

We walked a long way.

She finally arrived at a place that resembled a rural market, where there were vendors shouting and wisps of white smoke rising from the stalls.

People were scattered about on the road, some pushing carts. Many eyes were fixed on the short Shen Xi.

There's no other reason than that Shen Xi's clothes were too tattered. Calling them clothes was an understatement; it was a compliment to the fabric she was wearing, which had at least a dozen or so holes and whose color was indistinguishable.

Shen Xi went from initially looking down in embarrassment to becoming numb and expressionless after being stared at so many times.

Oh dear, she wants to buy a dress!!!

The market wasn't big, but it had everything you could want.

Shen Xi walked directly to a street stall, randomly pointed to three shirts and three pairs of pants, making a total of six pieces of clothing, which cost 250 yuan.

There's one more piece of good news so far: the money in the urea bag is real money.

Immediately afterwards, she went into a public bathhouse and spent five yuan to take a bath.

The next time he emerged, he had instantly transformed into a clean-cut, fair-skinned, and delicate "little boy."

The area where you blow-dry your hair.

Shen Xi stared blankly at her short hair in the mirror; this was a fact she had always been unwilling to face.

Haha, that's great, really, she doesn't miss her beautiful hair at all.

This short hair saves time when blow-drying.

Yes, that's good.

Shen Xi wiped the hairdryer and put it down. The short but delicate-looking "little boy" in the mirror turned around expressionlessly and put on the clothes he had just bought, which cost 250 yuan for six pieces.

The woman next door, who was getting her hair done, looked terrified when she saw the little boy standing there.

Shen Xi smiled and skillfully took off her pants, leaving only her underwear, indicating that she was a woman, or rather... a girl.

I was taking a shower just now, and a lot of the older women almost started yelling at me.

Shen Xi wanted to shed a tear of bitterness for herself.

When she came out of the bathhouse, she felt even more like crying. A cold wind blew by, and she shivered in surprise.

She looked at the still bustling market outside, her eyes filled with lingering confusion and melancholy.

She doesn't even have an ID card in this world. If she goes to the police now, she will inevitably be sent to an orphanage or the state for care. If she were really a child, it would be fine, but that's not the case now.

Yes, without an ID card, you can't go to school.

This means that without education, without a job, it is difficult to even take a bus out of the city.

She can draw, but what good is that now?

However, it would be great if we could find a pair of adults to work together.

But such risks are simply too great.

"Hey, you know what? The annual Yunxia Xiang Dragon Boat Race is about to start. I wonder what the prizes will be this year."

"It's a bit strange, actually. The dragon boat race is sponsored by the Jiang Group every year, and they usually announce it in advance. But this year, there hasn't been a ripple at all."

"That's true. Who knows? We don't even know if that young prince of the Jiang family will come this year."

Shen Xi was caught off guard when she heard familiar place names and people's names. Her eyes lit up as she stared intently at the two girls who were discussing.

She quickly walked over with her short legs and asked politely and carefully, "Excuse me, beautiful sister, is this Yunxiaxiang? And is the Jiang family's young master you mentioned Jiang Ci?"

Shen Xi almost asked what our country's name is.

But fearing that asking would make her seem like a walking millionaire, she kept quiet and only hinted at it.

The two girls looked down and saw a handsome little boy who was almost... delicate (effeminate). Their eyes lit up like light bulbs.

Wow, what a handsome little boy! He'll definitely be a heartthrob when he grows up.

"Is the little one here with their family? This is Yunxiaxiang, but we ordinary folks don't even know the name of the young prince of the Jiang family you mentioned."

One of the women bent over, her voice trembling as she faced the pretty child.

Shen Xi almost clapped her hands in excitement—this was great news!

Before leaving, Shen Xi, in return, readily agreed to their request to pinch her cheeks.

When it was time to part, Shen Xi walked away happily with her rosy cheeks, and the two women also left with radiant smiles.

At this point, both sides felt they had gotten a great deal.
