In The Palm of His Hand (Rebirth)

”Ning Ning, Ning Ning, wake up, youll be criticized for being late ” Grandma muttered.

Ji Anning was woken up by her grandmother.

She didn have to set an alarm clock in the morning, her grandmother was her alarm clock. Although she had dementia, her routine was very accurate, she woke up at 6:00 every morning without having to check the time. When it was time, shed call out for Ji Anning to get up, as if her brain could automatically sense what time it was.

Its just that because she had dementia she always thought that Ji Anning was still in middle school and would be scolded for being late to school.

Ji Anning rubbed her eyes, sat up from the bed, dressed, and washed her hands and feet swiftly. She then went to the kitchen to prepare her grandmothers meal for the day. Grandma has several illnesses, so she must strictly control her diet, such as controlling the amount of oil, sugar, and salt in her meals which is why Ji Anning cooked all of her grandmothers meals.

Ji Anning packed her meals in two insulated lunch boxes and placed them on the dining table. She boiled water for her, poured it into a thermos, and let it cool down.

Fortunately, although her memory is confused, she can still eat and go to the toilet by herself, and complete the most basic self-care. Otherwise, Ji Anning wouldn have even been able to go to school.

Ji Anning made steamed buns dipped in fermented bean curd, and she quickly finished her breakfast. She put the dishes in the sink leaving them to be washed for when she came back in the evening.

Before leaving, put an iron lock on the kitchen and locked it.

If you don lock it, grandma will want to go into the kitchen to cook, and then she will most likely burn the kitchen. This kind of thing has happened before, but fortunately, Ji Anning was at home at the time and put out the fire in time without causing a catastrophe.

”Eat well, drink water when you
e thirsty, remember to wipe yourself after going to the toilet, and remember to flush the toilet. ” She kissed her grandmothers forehead and instructed her.

When she opened the door and was ready to go out, she ran back and hugged her grandma, grandma smiled and patted her arm lightly.

Ji Anning was heartbroken.

Dementia is actually good. You don remember the hard days in front of you, and you
e still immersed in the good times of the past, which is better than suffering when you
e conscious.

A few days ago, when she opened her eyes, she realized that he had returned to the time when she had just entered her freshman year at college. After Ji Anning recovered from her shock, she began to thank god.

Thank God for giving her another chance.

This time, she will be more careful and live a good life.

She came out of the place where she lived and crossed the road to the university campus.

This house is actually the old staff dormitory of the university. It has a long history, and it is almost a dilapidated house. It was originally on the campus, but the city has developed and changed over the decades. The road that was later made was cut from the middle, and this staff dorm was cut out from being a part of the campus to becoming ”outside ” of the school.

Later, the school built a new staff dormitory, and many professors moved there. Those who still lived in the now old staff dorm, were either in a bad situation with the university, or new young professors.

Ji Anning, as a poor student with special circumstances in her family, the school allocated a small one-bedroom for her with a very humanistic and caring spirit.

It was thirty square meters, with a kitchen and toilet, although the apartment is small, it has all the necessities of a house. This house deserved Ji Anning having to bend down and bow to the school leaders, and then again, and again.

The photo of this was later published in a local newspaper. When her classmates saw her, they would tell others, ”Look, she is the very poor student in the papers. ”

Ji Anning doesn care, whats the point. Nothing is more important than having food to eat and a house to live in.

After Ji Anning turned into a soul body, he wandered around the world for a few years.

At first, when everyone was talking about her, she was very awake and floating around. Later, her topic faded, and people stopped talking about her often. She gradually began to be in a state of semi-consciousness. Whenever someone called her, she became more awake. If no one calls, she gradually loses consciousness.

After she was reborn, she thought about this question and felt that maybe if everyone forgot her, she wouldve naturally dissipated from this world.

She was reborn a few days ago, and soon regained the rhythm of life.

The life of a student is very simple, studying, eating, and sleeping at 10 oclock every day. She has more burdens than others, she has many part-time jobs, and the school exempted her from tuition, but she still has to live and eat, her grandmother has to see a doctor and take medicine, and thus she has to work to make money.

Before the last get out of class bell rang for lunch, she quietly slipped out the back door and ran to the cafeteria.

” Auntie 1 beef fried rice! ”

”Braised chicken nuggets, dry stir-fried green beans, and rice! ”

”1 fried rice noodles! ”

She ran around in front of various windows, helping her ”customers ” order and having it packed. When the big wave of students flocked to the dining hall like zombies attacking a city, the dishes she ordered were basically ready.

Ji Anning took out two eco-friendly cloth bags used by housewives to buy vegetables from her schoolbag and put the lunch boxes in one by one. Carrying one bag in each hand, she ran against the flow of people to the female student dormitory building.

The school does not allow take-out to enter the campus, and those who order take-out can only pick it up at the gate. When Ji Anning first entered school, she posted an advertisement on the schools forum, paying for meals on behalf of the girls dormitory, and only charged a few yuan per order.

In this society, there are always people who are willing to pay for such services.

This job was done by her until she died, and she had several long-term clients.

Ji Anning has thin arms and thin legs, carrying two large bags of ”takeaway ”, all relying on climbing the stairs, floor by floor, delivering meals to the dorm rooms for customers. Although she was sweating all over, she was able to earn hers and her grandmothers living expenses for a day.

By the time she returned to the cafeteria, the peak period had passed, and the wave of zombies had dissipated. The cafeteria was half-empty and sparsely populated. Most of them had finished eating but sat at the tables chatting or slowly sipping on their drink of choice.

Ji Anning ran to a window: ”Auntie, a spinach egg. ”

Auntie picked her teeth and asked, ”What else do you want? ”

”No, thats all, ” Ji Anning said.

Auntie bit her toothpick and looked at her.

This girl is fair-skinned, with a pointed chin and sunken eye sockets, what the hell how is she so thin. Look at that clavicle.

As the aunt put the dishes on the plate, she said dissatisfiedly: ”You young girls are really ignorant, you only know how to diet blindly, whats so good about being skinny and weak. Let me tell you, girls, you need to be more plump and round. Healthy. ”

Ji Anning is not dieting, but rather she is saving money.

Its only mid-September now, and this aunt is still unfamiliar with her, but before she had reborn, she was very familiar with this aunt.

”Thank you, Auntie Li. ” She said sweetly,

”Would you like more eggs? ”

Most of the students have finished eating, and there are few people after that.

Aunt Li didn expect this strange girl to know her surname. But it was not unusual for her to wear a badge with a name on it. She glanced at Ji Anning. Although she was nagging at her, she still used the spoon to put more eggs for Ji Anning.

The food at this window is cheaper, and she often came here to buy food in her previous life. When she first entered the school, Auntie Li only regarded her as the kind of girl who ignored nutrition for the sake of beauty. Later, she found out that she was a poor student and only bought cheap green vegetables, thus she would give her an extra half a spoon every time.

Ji Anning was summoned by her once when she was a wandering soul.

In the back kitchen of the cafeteria, a group of people preparing lunch were chatting, apparently, just after gossiping about her, the girl who fell to her death outside the school.

She was floating in the air, and heard Aunt Li scolding the kitchen helper and saying, ”I don believe it! Little Ji is not that kind of a child! Stop talking nonsense! ”

Ji Anning looked at the big lump of green and yellow food on the plate, and looked at Aunt Li with a sweet smile and thanked her then turned to look for a table.

Aunt Li leaned against the window and continued to pick her teeth.

A young man who helped her approached and said, ”Thats a freshman, isn she? Shes so beautiful! ”

Aunt Li grabbed the toothpick and sneered, ”Shes almost skinny! Women, you still have to have some meat. ”

The young man glanced at Aunt Lis waist as thick as a water barrell and felt his eyes were very hot. He quickly looked out the glass window, wanting to take a look at the beautiful girl just now and refresh his eyes.

”Huh? ” He said in surprise, ”Is it a poor student? ”

Aunt Li also looked over and saw that the thin and white girl had put down her plate, and taken a bowl, and walked towards the free porridge bucket.

She froze for a moment. Free porridge is said to be free for all students, but in fact, it is to take care of the poor students.

”I thought her clothes were fashionably worn, but ” she murmured.

She now understands why this girl only wanted a spinach egg.

Ji Anning especially respects the leaders of her school.

Of course, these free porridges and special treatment for poor students will be published in newspapers to add luster to the school. But this is not entirely a project for reputation. The conscience of the leaders is reflected in the thickness of the free porridge.

The free porridge in her school is very thick and can be eaten as a meal.

This is conscience.

Ji Anning bent down and picked up the spoon, ready to serve the porridge.

Just then, a wad of used napkins flew over and fell into the porridge. The porridge was too thick, and the paper towel did not get wet immediately it was stopped on the porridges surface.

Ji Annings eyes widened, and a light flashed in her mind.

He is coming!

The human brain is not like a computer. Where the files are clearly listed and there are directories to check. Memories are stored in the brain, except for those things that you think about and recite in particular, you often don know where they
e stored. You have to get to that point in time, see that person, or get that information, for the associated memory to be triggered.

Ji Anning has been readapting to living for the past few days.

For her, after being reborn, there are only two people she cares about, one is her grandmother, and the other is…

She hadn thought about whether to find that person or how to face that person.

The school is very big, and it is not always possible to meet him in school. She originally wanted to take it slow, and she wanted to wait until she figured things out before going to see him.

But now, the pile of tissues that fell into the porridge bucket reminded her that Wen Yuqiangs later harassment of her started from this porridge bucket!

Sure enough, there was laughter from behind: ”Sorry, it fell into the porridge. Im sorry, Im sorry. ”

Ji Anning didn look back. She remembered that when Wen Yuqiang was in school, there were always some people gathered around him.

Wherever he went, he was surrounded by people.

Ji Anning only stared at the wad of tissues.

She reached out, picked up the ball of tissue, and threw it in the trash can next to it. Picking up the porridge spoon, she skillfully made a circle, scooped out the part of the porridge that was ”contaminated ” by the paper tissues, and poured it into the trash can. Then, in a place slightly far from the ”contaminated area ”, filled it with a bowl of porridge, turned around, and walked towards her seat.

The group of boys who were laughing just now became quiet.

Ji Anning knew that they were staring at her. In their opinion, this porridge has been ”wasted ” and cannot be eaten at all. What she did mustve surprised them.

But its better than going hungry or spending money on food.

Moreover, in her previous life, Wen Yuqiang suddenly appeared to chat with her when she was staring at the paper balls in the porridge bucket and didn know what to do.

But in this life, even though Ji Anning reacted completely differently, the porridge bowl failed to land on the table—a hand stretched out from the side and held her wrist.

”Classmate, this porridge can be drunk anymore, ” said a deep male voice.

Ji Anning turned her head and bumped into a pair of dark eyes.

When those eyes were killing people, they were as black as ink, which was terrifying.

But in Ji Annings past memories, he always had a frivolous and arrogant gaze, when chasing after her.

At that time, Ji Anning was troubled by Wen Yuqiangs entanglement, and she was bored with him in her heart. The filter on him in his memory was bound to be unpleasant.

But at this time, Ji Anning turned his head and saw Wen Yuqiangs eyes, like stars shining brightly, and hotly.

He stared at her with clear surprise and passion in his eyes.

Ji Anning was in a trance, so it turned out that at this time, he looked at her with eyes that were so scorching hot.
