Wang Chen spent the next few days exploring his old town, trying to get a sense of the place before the Oblivion. He also made his way to the school, hoping to catch a glimpse of Li Hua, the girl he had loved but lost during the catastrophe.
As he walked the halls, memories flooded back to him. He remembered the day when he held Li Hua in his arms as she took her last breath. The pain of that loss had never truly left him, and now he was faced with the opportunity to change the past.
But things were different now. In this timeline, Li Hua didn't feel the same way about him. They were just classmates, not friends, let alone lovers. It was painful for Wang Chen to see her again, knowing that he had lost his chance with her forever.
Still, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. If he could change the course of events, maybe he could find a way to win her heart. For now, he kept his distance, observing her from afar and making plans for the future.
As he left the school, he noticed a strange glint in the distance. It was coming from a jewelry shop, and he recognized the stones in the display as the same ones that would be imbued with an aura after the Oblivion. Without hesitation, he entered the store and purchased a necklace with a deep blue gemstone.
He didn't know how he would use it yet, but he had a feeling it would come in handy. As he left the store, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. But when he turned around, there was no one there.
Wang Chen knew that he had to be careful. There were forces at play that he didn't understand, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes. He would do whatever it takes to save Li Hua and prevent the Oblivion from ever happening again.
