Chapter 472: Actually Alive Again!

Knowing that she was dead, Mu Jingzhe closed her eyes. It was over.

However, she didn’t expect to wake up again. At first, she thought that she had made a blunder and repeated the embarrassing mistake of saying her last words but not dying.

Still, when she opened her eyes, she realized that something was different. This didn’t seem to be the ward she had been in previously.

At the time of her death, although her husband had already passed away, she had been a winner in life. She had reached the peak of life. When hospitalized, she had been admitted to a single ward and had even had a legendary private doctor attend to her.

It had been a long time since she had seen such a ceiling.

Mu Jingzhe was stunned. Where was she now? Had she transmigrated through a seamless connection again?

As Mu Jingzhe was feeling curious, she suddenly heard a voice that sounded both familiar and unfamiliar. This voice was really familiar, yet it was also unfamiliar because she hadn’t heard it in decades. It was only after she reacted that she found it familiar.

At that moment, the voice muttered and scolded her. “What kind of attitude is this? I just asked you to change the name, yet you make it sound like it’s going to kill you!”

Mu Jingzhe thought for a while before finally remembering who this was.

Wasn’t this Xiao Shiliu¹? Xiao Shiliu had ranked 16th in the orphanage, where she had brought her up before transmigrating. It was Xiao Shiliu who had recommended to her the sweet, doting novel she had been reading before transmigrating.

So she had transmigrated back again? That couldn’t be right. She had gotten into a car accident back then, and it had been very serious. The blood had flowed all over the ground, so by right, she shouldn’t have been saved at all. Why had she woken up again? Could she have been saved?

As Mu Jingzhe was digesting the news, Xiao Shiliu finally realized that she was awake. “Sister, you’re awake! That’s great! Doctor, doctor, my sister is awake!”

Then, there was a series of checkups. Mu Jingzhe listened to everyone and looked at her hands again. She even picked up an unfamiliar cell phone and saw her own reflection.

She had really returned to the modern era. She had been saved.

“The preliminary exams show that you’re fine. You just have to recuperate properly.”

“Thank you, thank you.” Xiao Shiliu bowed and thanked the doctor before asking, “Where’s my sister’s attending doctor, Doctor Ji?”

“Doctor Ji is performing surgery. We’ll inform him when he’s finished.”

“Alright, thank you. Thank you.”

When Mu Jingzhe heard their conversation, she sighed. Ji… What a nice surname. What a coincidence. The doctor who had saved her was also called Ji.

“Sister, you scared me to death. You didn’t wake up for more than a month. I thought you were really going to become a vegetable. Fortunately, you woke up again.”

Xiao Shiliu looked at Mu Jingzhe and felt that she seemed a little dazed. “Sister, are you alright?” Was this a side effect of the operation?

“I’m fine. I just didn’t think I’d survive.”

“I didn’t expect you to survive either, Sister. It’s all thanks to Doctor Ji. We originally thought that you couldn’t be saved, so we didn’t expect him to successfully resuscitate you in the end.” Xiao Shiliu told Mu Jingzhe that she had undergone surgery for more than ten hours.

Mu Jingzhe sighed when she heard that. Ordinary people couldn’t even stand working a desk job for more than ten hours, let alone be in the operating room.

“When this Doctor Ji comes, I have to thank him properly.” Mu Jingzhe hadn’t expected to wake up in the modern era. She’d thought that she was deader than dead.

It was good that she had woken up in the modern era. Since she could still remember Ji Buwang, it probably meant that she hadn’t drunk Old Lady Meng’s soup¹. However, could she find Ji Buwang in the modern era? Could the ‘destined for three lifetimes of marriage’ thing be real?

As Mu Jingzhe was thinking, she heard Xiao Shiliu’s angry voice. “This author actually dared to retort!”

“Author?” Seeing Mu Jingzhe’s strange gaze, Xiao Shiliu quickly said, “The author of the book I told you about previously. She used your name and made you a trashy character.

“This author is good at everything else, but her choice of names isn’t good. Why did she have to give such a wonderful name to such a trashy character? Not only did the character make a fool of herself by imitating and picking on the female protagonist, but she even knocked on her younger brother-in-law’s door in the middle of the night. She also died a miserable death.

“Let’s not talk about this. What I can’t stand the most is that the author wrote that she’s not good to the children. You’re so nice and you have raised so many of us. You’re the best big sister. No, I have to ask her to change it. I won’t ask her to change the plot, but I have to make her change the name! I can’t accept her demonizing Mu Jingzhe like this!”

When Mu Jingzhe heard about this plot, she was instantly filled with emotions. As she looked at Xiao Shiliu, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, don’t make things difficult for the author. There are many people with the same name and surname in the world. You can’t just take away the author’s right to name her characters.”

Xiao Shiliu was feeling indignant on Mu Jingzhe’s behalf, but the author would definitely be speechless if she heard such an unreasonable objection. What was the point of picking on the name of a trashy character? The author naturally wouldn’t want to change it. In her opinion, Xiao Shiliu was being completely unreasonable.

“But I don’t like seeing a character with your name written in such a terrible way.” That was why Xiao Shiliu had been posting reviews every day. Each time the author deleted her review, she continued posting. After she’d posted for more than a month, the author finally couldn’t take it anymore and had ended up retorting.

Knowing that Xiao Shiliu was protecting her, Mu Jingzhe grabbed her hand. “Don’t be angry. It’s fine. She can write whatever she wants. It doesn’t matter because I’m not that kind of person. If you don’t like it, just don’t read the book in the future. It’s not easy being an author either.”

Mu Jingzhe felt that perhaps it was because the author had written it that way and she and the fictional Mu Jingzhe had the same name and surname that she had been able to transmigrate into the novel. That had been a nice experience. Because of that, she had met Ji Buwang, the five children, Li Zhaodi, and the rest and had been allowed to live a life without regrets.

She comforted Xiao Shiliu in a gentle voice, and the latter finally stopped harping on this. However, she looked at Mu Jingzhe, feeling a little strange. “Sister, I feel like you’ve changed a lot.”

That was certain. After all, she had gone through an additional lifetime. Perhaps she now gave off the vibe of an elderly person?

Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief. “I already died once. Of course I’ve changed.” It was easy to find a reason on the spot.

Xiao Shiliu nodded. “That’s true.”

Xiao Shiliu happily informed her other ‘siblings’ of this good news, and they agreed to come and visit Mu Jingzhe after work. During this period, they took turns watching over Mu Jingzhe.

Xiao Shiliu kept herself busy by caring for Mu Jingzhe. When Mu Jingzhe saw this, she couldn’t help but think of the five kids. She was quite gratified and she missed them. “Shiliu, sorry to trouble you.”

“What kind of trouble is this? Sister, you took such great care of us in the past. What I’ve done is nothing.”

After eating the porridge and asking the doctor, she tidied up and finally felt a little more refreshed. Then, she heard a commotion outside.

Xiao Shiliu went out for a while and came back to tell Mu Jingzhe, “Doctor Ji is here for his ward rounds. Sister, it will be our turn soon. If you feel any discomfort, you can tell Doctor Ji.”

Just as Xiao Shiliu finished speaking, Doctor Ji arrived with a few young doctors.

Mu Jingzhe approached the door. After the group entered, they walked straight to Mu Jingzhe. The young doctors in the back were still discussing her case softly. “She really woke up. What a miracle. Doctor Ji is amazing.”

However, Mu Jingzhe couldn’t hear their words. All she could see was the figure walking ahead. No one else.
