Yunlan's journal from a past life lay in front of Daqing along with the old photos that he'd only found a few days ago and he still found it hard to believe that this was all connected and he was a part of it. He twirled the lollipop in his mouth not realising how old it was and not decayed. It must have tasted alright otherwise he would have spat it out by now. Chu watched him from a distance, eating and enjoying the ancient sweets, hoping that he wasn't going to be poisoned, but everything else in the sealed bags were protected, hopefully these pops were as well.
He opened the book in front of him and found the writing easy to read and understand. The beginning had been written in hindsight after the event which seemed more like a good story, hard to believe that it was fact, so that's where he started.
I'm in a good place now making new friends who seem like genuinely good people, Chu, Daqing, and Shen Wei who is a very introverted person, as if he's hiding a great deal of secrets that he can't tell us, maybe that will change as we get to know each other better. I owe my life to Black Robe who saved me from the effects of the virus, and I will never be able to repay him enough for doing so, therefore the best I can do is work meticulously on this damn virus and save as many as we can with the antidote. This world is so different from my own, people have a different side to them, they all have a gift of some sort, Chu has amazing strings which he can use for almost anything. Daqing is from the cat tribe and can change when he feels it necessary, Shen Wei, I don't know what his skill is, back to the secrecy angle. There is no pressure here, people choose to work hard. I have been given employment in the laboratory below this secure building that belongs to Black Robe, it doesn't matter that I'm from the other world, they have accepted me as the scientist I am.
Daqing had finished his lollipop and was looking around for a bin when he saw a slight movement in a dark corner and stared, hoping that he was wrong. Chu watched but said nothing as he watched him put the rubbish in his pocket to dump later on. Lifting the journal, he carried on with his reading. The next entry was several months later and by then some of Shen Wei's secrets were being revealed.
Shen Wei love of my life, is Black Robe, and he kept it from me, maybe he would have said something when the time was right but we all found out today after the accident that could have killed him. He protected the patients around him and not himself, he's badly hurt and I made him suffer more with the bath he had to lie in for his burns, if there was another way, I would have done it differently but there wasn't, I don't ever want to see him like that or hear his screams. Daqing has retreated from life and is staying in his cat form, he heard the screams as well as Chu, whose medical strings couldn't stop the pain. I will never forgive myself for making you suffer more my love, I don't care about the secrets, just get well for me.
This entry was enough for Daqing to stop reading for a while, as he looked over at Chu with large tears forming in his eyes, ready to drop as soon as he blinked, and he sat there in a daze. Chu could see his reaction developing the more he read, as he watched his expression changing by the minute and he approached Daqing gently taking the journal from his hands while dropping to eye level, talking to him softly.
