I went abroad?

Li Mo rubbed his eyes.

After lowering his hands, Li Mo's Karslan eyes widened, and he scanned the exotic sign in front of him, punctuation mark by punctuation mark.

Great, it's English I don't recognize!

"What the hell is this written? I'm a perfectly good Chinese person, I wouldn't dream of ending up somewhere full of English like this, would I?"

It wasn't about whether it was English or not, but a very peculiar problem he couldn't articulate.

He couldn't understand it...

Slap, Li Mo smacked himself.

Serves you right for slacking off in English class! Serves you right for majoring in Chinese, Math, and Physics instead of English!

"Hello! Is anyone there!!!"

A cold wind blew, and Li Mo felt a bit embarrassed, slowly lowering the hand he had waved above his head.

Did he look a bit silly like this?

A moment later, after a bit of thought, repeated deliberation, and reaching a conclusion, Li Mo raised his hand again.

"Hello! I am Chinese…"

???

Slap, after another slap, Li Mo touched his burning cheek and fell silent.

I think that's all I know. What should I say next…

"Maybe I should find a high place and jump off, maybe then I'll wake up."

Stroking his chin, Li Mo thought this idea was absolutely perfect.

After all, who has ever fallen asleep at their computer and woken up on a street with English signs, in a place they didn't recognize?

That's right, Li Mo felt he was very innocent. He had just passed a turning point in his life – the Gaokao (college entrance exam). Today was the day to fill out university applications, and he had gone to the school computer lab to do it under the teacher's guidance!

Then…

I just stayed up all night at an internet cafe, and after filling out my applications, I fell asleep at a school computer. Did you staff really just throw me in a place like this?

He was a bit dumbfounded. I'm only 17 this year, I'm still just a kid!

And I've studied at this school for three years!

"Sigh, it must be a dream," Li Mo lowered his head. Jumping off was too scary, so he'd forget about it. As for unzipping his pants to pee?

Don't get Li Mo wrong, he didn't mean to. Even if he did, he wouldn't. Otherwise, the rumor of "a male student wetting his pants after falling asleep in the school computer room" would forever circulate in this school…

I should walk around a bit more, see if I can find a familiar path. And if it's a dream, I'll probably wake up if I wait a bit longer.

Otherwise, I'm definitely complaining to the school computer room staff tomorrow!

Ten minutes later, Li Mo leaned against a utility pole by the roadside, his mind a mess of complex thoughts, deciding to abandon the foolish act of trying to find his way.

Have you ever seen a street in your country with English signs all the way?

Li Mo said that at least in the small city he lived in, there was no such place.

"So, have I really been thrown abroad?"

Li Yuan asked. He stated that in his 17 years of life, he had never seen so many English words, and probably never would again.

But I just slept for a bit! How much of a sinner could I be to be thrown abroad, a mere student?

"If I get caught by the police, won't I be repatriated?"

The thought of going home in a few days to see local news headlines like "Our city's high school student's illegal entry into a foreign country fails, repatriated" made Li Yuan start to panic. He felt his future life would be shrouded in a dark cloud.

I'm about to go to university, won't this leave a stain on my records?

Whoosh, a beam of light flew past Li Mo and landed in a shop by the roadside not far away, startling him from his wild thoughts.

Boom! The shop exploded.

Li Mo fell into a daze.

Did I… get thrown into Libya…

Human bombs? Forced conscription? International war?

At this moment, Li Mo thought of many things. His legs had already started to tremble uncontrollably.

Grumble~ A sound from his stomach rang out at an inopportune moment.

"…" Li Mo's old face flushed red, but his body uncontrollably went weak, and he almost collapsed onto the ground.

—Of course, it wasn't from being scared!

Weakness, lack of strength, limbs going soft, this often happens after **…

Don't get me wrong, it's from staying up late!

They say, 'People are iron, food is steel, not eating a meal makes you hungry.' Li Mo was feeling a bit hungry now.

This is a war zone! In the dead of night, pitch black, and I'm a normal person going to ask for food. The atmosphere isn't right for that…

And no matter how I thought about it, even the art style seemed different!

"Grumble~ Grumble grumble..."

Slap, he slammed the table in anger!

Am I getting so hungry that my stomach is developing a rhythm now?!

"Gulp," swallowing his saliva, Li Mo encouraged himself.

Looking up ahead, not far from the roadside, Li Mo saw a building about ten meters away.

It was a three-story building, and it looked like someone had lived there before. Surely there'd be something to eat left behind?

Maybe... probably?

Screw it!

"I should have done this sooner. I've been walking for so long, my stomach is already hungry." After a while, Li Mo, who couldn't find the main door and finally climbed up to the third floor through a drainpipe, thought this as he looked at the pitch blackness below.

"But I can still get hungry in my dreams?

If I wake up from such a realistic dream, someone's definitely going to praise it!"

Li Mo chuckled and extended his right foot onto the third-floor balcony.

I used to watch those videos online of people climbing rocks and scaling walls, and thought they were amazing. Today, I can try it too!

Then, with a slight tremble of his hand, his left foot... missed its footing...

What the hell...

As Li Mo tumbled into the darkness below, a very cheesy English phrase flashed through his mind.

—"You jump! I jump!"

Wrong one, sorry, it was a different one.

"Mmp!"

After the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, Li Mo lay sprawled on the ground like a starfish. Scalding hot blood began to slowly flow from his body.

"This dream really hurts like hell. It feels just like getting injured in reality..."

And to think I'm going through all this for a bit of food. Is it even necessary...

No! It's the same as reality?!

Li Mo's eyes suddenly widened. "This is reality?! I'm not dreaming!?"

Damn it! Did the computer room staff really throw me abroad?

"Pfft," bright red blood sprayed from his mouth, and the life slowly draining from his body caused a gray mist to cloud his vision.

I can't believe this... this is really unbelievable. I just fell asleep at the computer, do they have to be this ruthless!!!

The scene before his eyes began to blur, and the remaining consciousness in his mind slowly dissipated. After a multitude of images flashed by, the world went completely black.

The moment he closed his eyes, Li Mo saw a figure radiating light slowly approaching him.

This damned life!
