“Lin-zi, you don’t like me telling you to just make your bed on the floor, but lately you’ve been falling down practically every day(1), what if you hit your head someday? When you were still sleeping on the lower bunk on our old dormitory it still wasn’t that bad, now that there isn’t a lower bunk anymore, this upper bunk is just too high.” 

“That’s right, I’ve seen people punching and kicking while they sleep, but I haven’t seen someone who moves as badly as you, the guardrail couldn’t even stop you. Ever since we changed into our new dormitory, how many times have you fallen?”

“I…” Lin Yu Tong felt like he was suffocating. He looked up, and set his eyes at his two college roommates sitting on the bed.

Was this a dream?

Didn’t he fall from the ninth floor? Why was he in this situation? This dormitory, it was clearly the new dormitory that they had moved into when they started their third year. He had lived in an eight-person bedroom for the first two years of college, and he had been sleeping on the lower bunk. Later when he started his third year, the new school dormitory building was completed, and they all moved together, this time there was no lower bunk, because the lower part was changed into a study table and a wardrobe, so they could only sleep on the upper bunk.

Obviously, this was not the first time that he had fallen down, so in the end what date was it right now?

Lin Yu Tong slowly stood up from the floor, he held the quilt in his hand and subconsciously patted it, then silently looked at Xiang Cheng Tian and Long Le. These two were his college roommates, they had lived in the dormitory for nearly three years, he would never forget them.

“Lin-zi, you haven’t become stupid right?” Long Le jumped off the bed like a monkey, grabbed Lin Yu Tong’s forehead to probe it, and placed two fingers in front of him, “Tell me, how many is this?”

“Go away.” Lin Yu Tong slapped Long Le’s fingers away and sat down on his chair. He was currently facing Long Le’s desk, there was a laptop on top, and the date on the laptop showed that he had fallen and went back to eight years ago.

“Lin-zi, are you okay?” Xiang Cheng Tian compared to Long Le was much more earnest, he saw the strange expression on Lin Yu Tong’s face, and he couldn’t help but put down the book in his hand then also climb down, and said: “If you feel uncomfortable, tell us, it’s fine, we’ll hurry to the hospital to do a checkup.”

“It’s nothing, I just didn’t get enough sleep, my head feels dizzy, I’ll be fine in a minute.” Lin Yu Tong then crawled in his bed searching for something, and sure enough he found the feature phone(2) that he had once used.

So, he really did return to eight years ago?!

Lin Yu Tong was in a trance for a long time, and in order to confirm that he wasn’t dreaming, he went to a lot of places, wanting to find some signs that he was in a dream. But no matter what, every place he visited was the same as eight years ago, there wasn’t any fault, even on the Internet, those large and reputable platforms were still unavailable, and the pen name “Scatter Firewood Boy” that he had used for several years was not yet known to many people.

This was really… falling down a building, then going back to square one(3) was really worrying.

Lin Yu Tong didn’t talk much all afternoon, and he didn’t want to say what was wrong which made his roommates worry, he spent most of the time thinking about his problems and recalled what happened during this time.
