Chapter 0005: Dual Pupils (I)

Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but laugh at himself, realizing that he had been thinking too far ahead. Throughout his life, he had only had one girlfriend in college, and that girl was the most beautiful in the class, with a gentle personality. He didn't know how she ended up liking him, which made his friends envious. They had only just reached the stage of holding hands when the girl's father, due to his mining investment business, moved the whole family to Austria. She followed them to study abroad, and naturally, this relationship came to an end without any resolution.

After watching the scenery outside the window for a while, Zhuang Rui felt quite bored and lay down to sleep. He did not know how much time had passed when a loud rumbling sound woke him up. He looked up and saw that they had already arrived in Nanjing, crossing the Yangtze River Bridge, and Zhuang Rui noticed that snowflakes had begun to fall from the sky

The number of people returning home during the Spring Festival travel rush is overwhelming. Many individuals are so eager that they do not wait to board through the door, but instead climb in through the open windows. One can imagine that the ordinary carriages are certainly packed tightly like sardines in a can, filled to the brim with people, and the smell must be quite unpleasant

The robbery incident has come to an end. Although it was somewhat painful, it was still worthwhile. The pawnshop is a subsidiary of the city's investment company. If one becomes a manager there, not only will the salary increase, but more importantly, it will allow entry into the government personnel system. Although Zhuang Rui has no intention of entering politics, the benefits brought by this system are numerous, such as obtaining loans for purchasing a house, transferring household registration to Zhonghai, and facilitating future schooling for children, all of which will provide significant convenience. The most important aspect is the entry into the government personnel system. Although Zhuang Rui has no intention of entering politics, the benefits brought by this system are numerous, such as obtaining loans for purchasing a house, transferring household registration to Zhonghai, and facilitating future schooling for children, all of which will provide significant convenience.

After graduating from university, Zhuang Rui unexpectedly returned to Zhonghai. Moreover, after working for three years at a pawnshop, he would be eligible to enter a government position. This fact attracted the attention of several local female classmates from Zhonghai. However, Zhuang Rui had always kept a respectful distance from these young ladies, whom he had only ever glanced at out of the corner of his eye, as he had no interest in catering to such pampered individuals

At this moment, Zhuang Rui felt an inexplicable gratitude towards the boss, because every time he arrived at a platform and saw the crowd resembling ants, he couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp. The crowd emerging from the ticket gates surged forward in a chaotic rush—every passenger flocking towards the train that had just come to a stop, with shouts of "Please make way" and "Let me go first" ringing incessantly

At the moment that breath shot out from his eyes, Zhuang Rui clearly saw that his pitch-black pupils actually split into two in an instant. Although the time was fleeting and extremely brief, Zhuang Rui was certain he had not made a mistake; this was definitely not an illusion. At that moment, he indeed saw the two pupils in his eyes transform into four within a fraction of a second.

Zhuang Mu's appearance has aged and become more haggard compared to the last time Zhuang Rui returned home. She is already nearly sixty years old. Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in his heart. He has been working for over a year and rarely calls home. When something happens, he makes his mother worry and toil. He truly feels unfilial.

Due to the preparation this time, after the aura shot out from his eye sockets, Zhuang Rui could clearly feel that the aura seemed to have some connection with himself and the * book * even after leaving his body. He could distinctly sense its existence. Furthermore, the turquoise light that he saw with his own eyes did not appear in the mirror, which means that this color was directly present in his eyes.

In a short while, the vast expanse of land before him turned into a white haze. Although it was not cold inside the compartment, a breath of warm air would still cause the glass window to fog up, prompting Zhuang Rui to instinctively shrink his neck.

It has decreased significantly, huh

The scene that occurred in the hospital in the morning was indeed real

Fortunately, Zhuang Rui usually does not believe in ghosts or deities, nor does he worship heaven and earth. After a few minutes of daze, Zhuang Rui took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. Just now, due to his panic, he did not notice any changes after the breath flowed out of his eyes, so he picked up the mirror from the bed again, preparing to observe once more.

Zhuang Rui seemed to grasp something in his heart, but he was not very certain. He tilted his body slightly, raised his right arm, which had been resting against the bed and felt somewhat sore and numb, and extended his forearm to eye level, then focused his gaze.

Gently pulling the blanket for his mother, Zhuang Rui slowly straightened his legs, which had become somewhat numb from sitting for too long. Leaning slightly against the bed, he began to reflect on the events that had transpired during this period.

Gazing out at the heavy snow falling outside the window, Zhuang Rui fell into deep contemplation

Zhuang Rui has become accustomed to the presence of that cool aura in his eyes these days. He is genuinely afraid that this aura might vanish without a trace, and he silently calls out in his mind, hoping for a surprise. To his astonishment, the aura that had dissipated truly contracted back with his thoughts, once again lying dormant around his eyes. However, this time there was no stinging sensation in his eyes, and it seemed that the aura had not diminished in any way.

Zhuang Rui recalled that since the injury, the cool aura in his eyes had weakened significantly after the enchanting scene that occurred in the morning, could it be...

Suppressing the shock within, Zhuang Rui was just about to shift his gaze to another part of his body when he suddenly felt a wave of soreness in his eyes. A sharp pain and a burning sensation followed, causing his tear ducts to open like a dam, and tears began to flow uncontrollably. It was similar to the feeling in the morning, but the pain was much milder. At the same time, that breath seemed to sense something and retreated back into Zhuang Rui's eyes. Instantly, a cool sensation dispelled and alleviated the increasingly intense pain and burning. Tears continued to flow uncontrollably, mirroring the morning's experience, but the pain had lessened significantly. Meanwhile, that breath seemed to sense something again and withdrew back into Zhuang Rui's eyes, bringing with it a refreshing feeling that eased the growing pain and heat.

The train sped forward rapidly, and the scenery outside the window quickly flashed by, retreating like walls at a swift pace. The desolation of winter rendered the landscape that Zhuang Rui beheld a barren expanse.

Before him, a patch of turquoise still flickered, but the scene that unfolded below left Zhuang Rui in great shock

Withdrawing his gaze from the window, Zhuang Rui looked at his mother, who was sound asleep. During this time of his injury, his mother had endured much hardship. The loud sound made by the train as it passed over the Yangtze River Bridge surprisingly did not wake his slumbering mother.

Although Zhuang Rui is not particularly handsome, he has well-defined features, and his height of 1.8 meters gives him a solid and stable appearance. His academic performance ranks among the top in his class. However, in today's society, talent is not as valuable as wealth, and looks cannot be eaten. After the end of his relationship in the second year of university, Zhuang Rui has not dated again. Nevertheless, he is not unfamiliar with matters between men and women, which he did not learn in middle school health education classes, but rather from the computer owned by his older brother, which is filled with various ethnicities, languages, and is known as a physiological learning machine.

When he thought of women, Zhuang Rui's mind once again conjured the scene that had occurred in the hospital that morning

Taking out his backpack, Zhuang Rui found a palm-sized mirror. Looking into the mirror, he noticed that aside from his slightly pale complexion, there was not much difference. However, his eyes seemed a bit brighter than before. Zhuang Rui brought the mirror a little closer and, as he focused on his eyes in the mirror, a familiar scene unfolded.

Zhuang Rui was wearing a thick down jacket, with a thermal undershirt underneath. However, as the blue light flashed and the aura emanated from his eyes, he discovered that in his vision, the down jacket and undershirt on his forearm seemed to have vaporized. First, they became somewhat blurred, and then they completely disappeared, revealing the skin on his arm clearly before him, as if he were looking through a magnifying glass. Zhuang Rui could even see the fine details of the pores on his skin.

What is going on? Zhuang Rui felt a sudden tingling sensation on his scalp and hurriedly threw the mirror in his hand onto the bed. Such a bizarre event occurring to him would likely make it difficult for anyone to remain calm.

Yang Wei booked a soft sleeper for two for Zhuang Rui, and this type of soft sleeper ticket is generally not sold to the public, primarily serving travelers with special identities. It is unclear what connections Yang Wei used, but he managed to purchase 2 tickets. Even the train attendants, while moving back and forth, cast extra glances at Zhuang Rui and his mother, who were dressed ordinarily, and their service attitude was exceptionally good, a stark contrast to the treatment Zhuang Rui experienced during previous train journeys in the winter and summer vacations.

After the cool breath returned to his eyes, Zhuang Rui could distinctly feel that the breath had weakened considerably. However, since it was directed at his own body, he understood that the departing coolness had actually penetrated into the skin of his arm. Moreover, his arm, which had been somewhat sore and numb, initially felt a bit itchy when the coolness entered his body, but then it immediately became comfortable, as if filled with strength. Zhuang Rui quickly rolled up the sleeve of his arm, only to find that there was no visible abnormality on the surface. Yet, he could clearly sense the changes within.

I never realized I had dual pupils before! Could it be that they only appeared after this injury? However, when I looked in the mirror, aside from that cool aura emanating from my body, I didn't see anything particularly unusual. Could it be...

As Zhuang Rui focused intently on the mirror, he felt the dormant aura around his eyes begin to circulate once more. At the same time, a greenish-blue light flashed before him, and the aura in his eyes shot towards the mirror, following his gaze

What exactly has happened to oneself

Come back

Fantasy? I am not yet so desperate that I neglect the wounds in my eyes and start thinking about women!
