"Ring—" The school bell rang, signaling the end of the day.
"That's all for today," the teacher said, closing the laptop on the lectern. The sound of rain and the picturesque Jiangnan scenery in the classroom promptly vanished.
"I have already uploaded today's homework questions to the school's learning portal. You must send the completed assignments to my email before 11 PM tonight. Also, please return your smart glasses to the class vice-monitor before you leave the classroom."
"Stand up. Bow. Thank you, teacher."
"Wu Yi," the teacher, who had already reached the classroom door, suddenly called out to me, "I know you've just been discharged and haven't fully recovered, but you've missed a lot of lessons. So, I hope you will put in extra effort to catch up with the rest of the class quickly."
"I understand, teacher," I replied, standing up.
After the teacher left the classroom, I immediately took off the smart glasses, sat back down, and massaged my temples with my fingers.
"Hey!" Chen Ming Hua, sitting next to me, nudged me with his elbow. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You've been looking like you have a constant headache since you got out of the hospital. Should you go to the hospital for a more thorough check-up?"
This slim boy with single eyelids and small eyes is my deskmate and best friend. We're very close, not just because we've known each other since elementary school, but also because we both love playing virtual reality games.
"I'm fine," I waved my hand dismissively. "It's just that my head hurts a bit after wearing the smart glasses for too long."
"By the way," Chen Ming Hua said as he helped me put the smart glasses back into their case, "have you gotten your memory back yet? Do you remember what happened in Navigating School Life?"
