Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Extra Story of Eel 1

Lu Yuwen encountered three strange events.

The first strange event: He had a dream.

–In his dream, there was a city divided like a chessboard, peculiar and extraordinary props, and people of all kinds…

Men, women, the elderly, children… Various faces, all indistinguishable, yet they rushed into his mind at once, his head almost feeling like it would explode!

The second strange event: Upon waking up, he inexplicably had the urge to go to Shanghai.

–It wasn’t a spontaneous desire for travel, but a strong and precise compulsion: May 6th, at 11:30 PM, to Shanghai City! Xuhui District! Woast Road!

…

Lu Yuwen sat on the bed, holding his head with his hand and closing his eyes, remaining motionless for a long time.

Isn’t this bizarre?

Even if one suddenly wants to travel somewhere, it wouldn’t be this specific and detailed.

The first thing Lu Yuwen thought was that he should probably visit a psychiatric clinic and get his brain checked.

But when he encountered the third strange event, he immediately dismissed the idea of going to the hospital.

The third strange event–

As he got out of bed and put on his shoes, preparing to head to the restroom, he discovered that his limp was gone.

Lu Yuwen’s right foot was congenitally malformed. Although it didn’t prevent him from walking, the difference in length between his legs made him walk with a noticeable limp.

But now, both of his feet were firmly planted on the wooden floor, his soles steady, his toes relaxed, and the shape and contour indistinguishable from healthy, normal feet. When he tried to take a step, there was no sign of irregularity.

Lu Yuwen stood by his bed for a long time.

Clearly, he was experiencing something… something that couldn’t be explained by science.

A twenty-eight-year-long limp, unimprovable despite various medications and surgeries, had miraculously healed overnight?

Was he still dreaming???

Lu Yuwen took a deep breath and cautiously, tentatively, walked a small circle around the area beside his bed.

The wooden floor was smooth and cool.

He picked up his pace, walking faster and faster, even deliberately stomping harder to make the floor thud loudly!

The force of his steps travelled from his soles to his knees, making his legs tingle faintly–this sensation was unmistakably real.

It wasn’t a dream.

Lu Yuwen sat down, his body slightly warmed from the vigorous pacing just now.

He lowered his head to look at his feet again.

They had genuinely recovered.

These were undoubtedly the feet of a healthy person.

He didn’t know how long he sat there, but a slow, uncontrollable smile began to spread across his face.

Perhaps divine beings truly exist in this world.

This thought crossed his mind as he stood, walked step by step to the broad floor-to-ceiling window, and pulled the curtains open in one swoop!

Golden sunlight poured in abruptly, like fragments of gold spread across the room. He squinted his eyes slightly, gazing at the vast expanse of the blue sky, and suddenly, a sense of clarity washed over him.

It was as if the murky air he had been holding in for years had been completely expelled–a feeling of utter liberation!

Even his spine unconsciously straightened, proudly upright.

The bustling traffic below, the clamor of the streets–it all seemed the same as yesterday, yet felt subtly different.

The phone suddenly rang, melodious English lyrics echoing–

Lu Yuwen walked over to his bed, picked up the phone, and answered it casually.

“Hello~ Yuwen, it’s me. I just got back to the country and was thinking of heading over to sort out my stuff. Are you free today?”

The woman’s voice was soft and calm, tinged with a polite sense of distance.

Lu Yuwen gazed at the scenery outside the window, smiling faintly as he replied, “Hmm, alright.”

There was a pause on the other end of the line, as if puzzled: “What’s wrong with you?”

“Hmm?”

“You sound… really happy?”

Lu Yuwen chuckled, even though the person on the other end of the call wasn’t the ideal audience, he couldn’t suppress the joy surging within him.

“Yes.” He said with a smile, “Right now, I’m indeed in a great mood.”

“…”

The woman fell silent, seemingly surprised, perhaps never having heard him speak in such an upbeat tone before.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuwen added with a laugh, “Sorry, Zixin, I just remembered–I plan to head to Shanghai today. Could you come over another day instead?”
