What did Su Chen see?
Su Chen saw a wardrobe, a desk, a computer, chairs; he saw many, many things that only existed in his room.
Although somewhat blurry, Su Chen could be one hundred percent certain that those were the things from his own room!
After all, having lived here for so many years, even with the worst memory, he was utterly familiar with this room.
Seeing familiar things should put one's mind at ease, make one feel safe, right?
No, Su Chen currently felt none of that!
It was precisely because of the things he saw!
Those things looked completely unchanged. The mouse on the desk was still pressed against the edge of the desk, the chair was still positioned squarely in front of the desk; it seemed as if nothing had changed at all.
But those things had become incredibly huge. The wardrobe, originally just a bit taller than Su Chen, now stood like a pillar holding up the heavens between the sky and the earth!
The nearest chair was actually several kilometers away from him. Su Chen stood rooted to the spot in a daze, staring in disbelief at everything before his eyes.
He could already confirm that the place he was currently in should be his own room.
But why on earth had his room become like this?
Why had all the things he normally used become so immensely huge? Su Chen was completely terrified by what he saw.
But this wasn't the end. When Su Chen realized he was most likely still in his own room, a sudden doubt arose: just where was he exactly?
Naturally, Su Chen was extremely familiar with his own room. After looking around, he already knew where he was currently located.
Immediately after, he slumped down onto this "mountain peak," his heart filled with dejection, his head buzzing.
"No wonder, no wonder the ground is full of holes, no wonder the ground seems like it's woven from giant ropes..."
Su Chen shook his head while muttering to himself, not even knowing what he was feeling right now.
Where was Su Chen?
Su Chen was on his own bed, that bed measuring two and a half meters long and one and a half meters wide.
The mountain peak beneath his feet and the mountain range in the distance that looked like a pinched bun were actually the quilt he normally slept under!
It had taken this shape simply because Su Chen was a restless sleeper, habitually crumpling the quilt into a shape like a stuffed bun, just an particularly ugly one.
By now, Su Chen had realized what had happened. He hadn't transcended to some unknown space like in the novels, but was still in his own room. It's just that now, he had shrunk.
"I actually shrank, I shrank."
Su Chen couldn't believe what was happening. If it were transcension, although hard to comprehend, it wouldn't have made Su Chen feel this way.
At worst, he could be like the protagonists in the novels, become a god or a sage, and then find a way back to his own world. But what exactly was he supposed to do in his current situation?
Now that he knew where he was, what the surrounding things were, and what had happened to him, it wasn't hard to deduce just how tall he was now.
But this only made Su Chen more despairing, because he was now less than two millimeters tall. Remember, his original height was less than 1.8 meters, but he was still 1.75 meters tall.
But now? He was actually less than two millimeters tall!
Calculating purely by height, Su Chen had shrunk a thousand times.
But if he considered himself as a cubic volume, then the current Su Chen, compared to his former self, had shrunk a full one billion times!
He had actually gone from a living, breathing person to a tiny thing even smaller than an ant. Faced with such a massive disparity, how could Su Chen possibly accept it with any semblance of calm?
Just moments ago, he was excited and thrilled about being able to jump three meters high and leap ten meters far. But now it seemed like nothing but a joke!
For him now, one meter was the original one millimeter. That meant his full-power jump was only three millimeters, and his forward leap only about one centimeter!
Even an ordinary insect was far superior to him at this distance. Trying to live in this state was not easy at all. Or rather, the world he was once so familiar with was now filled with dangers that could kill him at every turn.
"No, I must find a way to call for help!"
Su Chen suddenly stood up from this "ground." He had a reason he must survive!
That reason, that person, had sustained him for fifteen years. Now, even though he faced this utterly inexplicable situation, Su Chen had to find a way to live, to find a way to return to normal!
All because of the promise he made back then!
Fifteen years ago, Su Chen was only six years old. His parents had died unexpectedly when he was five, and no relatives were willing to take in this child who had just lost his parents. Without any surprise, he was sent to an orphanage.
He spent the most difficult period of his life there. At that time, Su Chen never spoke. He would stand silently behind the other children, and no matter what others said or did, he remained like a mute, not uttering a word.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but he couldn't at the time. He had been present when his parents died.
His mother was holding him. The family had originally planned a self-drive trip during the holiday, but a large truck, like a mad bull, suddenly rushed out from a side road ahead and slammed into their car.
The accident happened too suddenly. Although his father desperately tried to steer the car away, it was futile. They could only watch as the truck collided with them.
Unable to dodge, unable to avoid it. At the final moment, his parents didn't struggle or try to seek a slim chance of survival for themselves. Instead, they gave that slim chance to Su Chen.
At the last moment, his mother, holding Su Chen, jumped out of the car, using her body to tightly wrap around Su Chen. His father also used all his strength at the last moment to push Su Chen's mother out of the car window.
By the time the police arrived, Su Chen's mother's body was already cold. But Su Chen in her arms was still alive. However, from that day on, Su Chen stopped speaking.
Until that little girl arrived. The little girl was only four years old when she came to the orphanage.
Everyone only knew that the little girl's parents had died, but no one knew how. The little girl, like Su Chen at the time, didn't speak, didn't react. It seemed as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Perhaps birds of a feather flock together. Somehow, Su Chen unknowingly ended up together with this little girl.
By the time the other children noticed these two outliers, they had already developed a strong tacit understanding. Although they still didn't speak much, it was different from before
These two children who had lost everything, by such coincidence, silently recognized each other as family, the only family still existing in this world.
It was from that time onward that Su Chen decided he must protect and take care of this little sister who had suddenly appeared by his side. That little girl was now called Su Qingwan.
