Chapter 10 Five Hours Earlier
June's rainy season was hot and damp.
"...When you do the problems, be bold and careful. Keep a calm heart. First, I wish every classmate a good performance tomorrow, and results you're happy with!"
I stood up out of control.
Desks and chairs toppled. Classmates and the teacher stared at me in shock. The homeroom teacher slammed the desk in fury. "Qin Song, it's this late and you're still dozing off? After the college entrance exam you can sleep all you want!"
My head was splitting. I could not tell if what I had just lived through was a nightmare or real.
Until my forehead went hot. My deskmate Zhou Su leaned in, worried, and checked my temperature. "Qin Song, are you okay? The exam is tomorrow. You're not coming down with a cold, are you?"
The boy's worried, clear eyes hit me straight in the chest.
The instant his hand touched my forehead, I gripped his hand on instinct.
So warm. It was real.
Zhou Su's cheeks went red all the way to his ears at the touch. "Qin Song, talk properly. What are you grabbing people for..."
This time, I had not gone back to the moment the killers knocked.
I had gone back five hours earlier.
Right then, the prison break was still half an hour away.
