Transmigrated

Getting kissed this early in the morning while on her way to class wasn't something Bai Shuyin expected. 

It would be an entirely different matter if she was kissed by a handsome fictional guy from the novels she read. 

But no. 

She just had to be kissed --wait, a normal kiss wouldn't sound right, she had been smooched to death by the infamous transmigator tour guide. 

Mister Truck-kun. 

And Mister Truck-kun didn't seem to hold back when he bull-rushed at her. Bai Shuyin was thrown back off her feet so hard that she had an out-of-body experience and could see her own back in front of her; she probably was thrown out of her body. 

She desperately tried to reach for her own body but an unknown force shoved her back. She frowned at Mister Truck-kun, only to see those bright headlights flashing on and off as if they were making fun of her. Then she was suddenly dragged backwards, faster and faster. 

There were blurry images all around her. It took a while for Bai Shuyin to catch a glimpse of those images. The scenes of her life were being played in her eyes like a broken record. Her happy childhood. Mini her learning to crawl. The grand opening of her uncle's martial art gym. Moving on to her uncle teaching her in his gym. And she finally ended up becoming a tomboy. 

The images moved much more quicker. Then an accident that took her parents from her. Tears dripped down her face as she bawled her eyes down in the hospital. Her uncle comforting her, hands on her shoulder with a far away look in his eyes as if he couldn't believe it. 

She saw her deceased parents' smiling faces. Her uncle smoking. Chugging drinks with her dad. It was harder to distinguish them by now. Their faces were mixing and the colors were blending. She was starting to feel nauseous. Her heart was in her throat, suffocating her. 

'Was this how being close to death's door felt like? Didn't you think replaying someone's life before their death is fun? Are you mocking me--!'

Then she hit the ground. 

Hard. 

The back of her head made an audible crack. She snapped her eyes open, she didn't even know when she had them closed, but when she did, intensely blue-sky greeted her sight. 

The sound of blood rushing in her ears blocked out the outside noise. Bird fled from its branch across the sky. She tried taking in a huge gulp of air, hoping to dislodge her heart from her throat and pushing it down to its respective place. 

Black hair and huge obsidian eyes suddenly appeared above her, causing her heart to jump up high once again. Those eyes looked worried and the owner's mouth was moving, but she couldn't hear a thing. 

Suddenly, something bright flashed inside her mind and a burst of pain accompanied. Then her world blackened. 

***

Bai Shuyin became painfully aware of her entire body before she even woke up, not that she expected to wake up at all anyway. Every nerve and bone she possessed, cracked and burned. It was as if she had been mauled by a beast. It was overwhelming. Not to mention, she had woken up to a sparkly blue sky— a scenery so marvelous that she wondered if she had ascended to heaven— only to be interrupted by a small boy that was so pretty he could pass up as a doll. 

Thankfully, the darkness came right on time  to her rescue. 

The second time she came to awareness, there was more pain. Her whole body burned and she almost thought that she had been set on fire. Her head throbbed so hard. Sweats dripped down her forehead and soaked her clothes. She groaned, feeling uncomfortable before darkness came to fetch her once again. 

Bai Shuyin was later shaken awake by a small hand and a wailing asking her to open her eyes. Her eyelid weighed like a ton of bricks and it wasn't like she had enough will to open them. 

However, that wailing didn't stop, didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Her brain was too shaken to figure out who, but she needed that voice to stop, be it a pause or anything, just please stop--

Wait. 

Wait a minute. 

She should be dead. She had been run over by a truck. No one could survive that kind of hit. 

She believed she was dead, but she never knew the after-death effect would hurt so much. Bai Shuyin tried moving her hand and something squeezed back, hard. She gasped hard internally. She could still feel something. That meant she wasn't a ghost! 

She wasn't dead yet. 

Bai Shuyin tried to pry her eyes open and when she did, a pair of huge watery inky black eyes stared back at her, making her heart jump onto her throat. 

"Yin Yin!" The boy screeched. His high-pitched voice rang like a knife was being shoved into her skull. 

The heart that stuck in her throat almost burst out of her mouth when an unknown little boy draped his small little body over her. He had wounded his short arms around her neck and squeezed. 

Bai Shuyin's eyes widened with friction. What was going on? Who was this little boy? Yin Yin? 

The arms were crushing her a little too hard and she wanted him to let go, but her tongue felt dry and heavy in her mouth, and all that came out was a pitchy whine. She wanted to hit him, but her arms were too heavy. It was exhausting. 

As if sensing her uncomfortable state, the little boy chirped. "Don't move, I will get some water!" 

'Look kiddo, I can't even make a peace sign with my fingers, how do you expect me to move my whole body?' 

Bai Shuyin watched with half-lidded eyes as the little boy pushed the creaky wooden door --that looked like it was going to fall any second-- open to get some water, she sighed. What the hell happened? She was so sure she had died. And that boy? He looked kind of familiar. 

And where was this? 

She shifted her head and tentatively opened her eyes. The room wasn't dark as there were a few moonlights peeking through the cracks in between the uneven wood. Shuyin dragged her eyes towards the cave-in roof, looking like it was on the brink of collapsing. 

She sluggishly propped herself up. A strand of white hair fell over her shoulder, making her frown. Taking hold of it, she gave it a tug only to wince slightly. She recalled her hair was black in color and definitely not white. 

'That can't be…' 

She had turned into a human vegetable only to wake up as an old woman?! Holy Mother of Nature-- 

She raised her arms, preparing herself mentally to see wrinkly and bony fingers, however, much to her surprise, it was a pair of dirty and weak-looking fingers. They were short and chubby, looking like they were a kid's limbs. 

She turned her palms up and noticed the rough calluses. These definitely weren't her hands. Her hands were smooth as hell, unlike these. These… Were working hands. 

"Oh God…" Bai Shuyin mumbled to herself, rubbing her temples. 

While she was glad that she hadn't turned into an old lady, all of these were weird. "What kind of dream is this?" 

Bai Shuyin pinched herself and almost jumped up from the pain. 

"Yin Yin!"

The little boy came back with a huge bucket of water in his arms. The bucket was almost the same size as him and Bai Shuyin would have thought the bucket was moving on its own if not for the little arms on each side of it. 

Bai Shuyin watched as the boy, who appeared to be around 5 or 6 years old, struggled to bring the bucket of water to her. She stared at him, her eyebrows forking down. 

Black hair, his bangs fell over his forehead with two huge inky dark eyes that seemed too big for his face. Chubby cheeks with a small dimple on the right side. 

Bai Shuyin was a sucker for novels. She might not remember what she studied for an upcoming test or even remember what she ate yesterday, but she could always remember what novels she read. That was how much of a nerd she was. 

And this boy looked so familiar. That dimple on the right side was a dead give away. 

"Ah Yue?" She croaked out, testing the water. 

"Yin Yin!" The boy chirped back. 

Oh fuck, did she just end up transmigrating--?!
