Chapter 24: Want to Be Scolded?

After some effort, Xia Yu climbed back into bed. He felt his chin and reached out to pinch the leg of this body.

The leg felt fine, but that wasn’t the issue.

The issue was that even though he had pinched as hard as he could, the sensation was weak.

So the problem lay with the leg of this body.

But it wasn’t a big deal—programmers didn’t need legs, just functional hands.

“Get out of my body.” The voice that had stopped Xia Yu earlier spoke again.

The voice carried restrained anger, which was a normal reaction. Voices like An Siyao’s were abnormal.

“I’m sorry to inform you, but I can’t control this magic either.” Xia Yu replied.

“Please leave my body.” The female voice changed its wording.

“Even if you use polite language, it won’t work.”

Xia Yu looked at the laptop on the desk. After discovering the leg didn’t work, he had been too shocked and focused on crawling back, forgetting to bring the laptop.

“Who are you?” The female voice finally stopped demanding he leave.

“You can call me Harry Potter. I’m a wizard currently researching possession spells, so I ended up in your body.” Xia Yu made up casually.

“Did you possess me to experience the life of a disabled person?” The female voice was full of sarcasm.

“It was just an accident.” Xia Yu said, using his hands to move to the edge of the bed, stretching his body forward to grab the laptop.

His fingers couldn’t reach the laptop, but he grabbed the large mouse pad underneath and pulled it toward himself, finally grabbing the laptop.

“What, do you want to snoop through a disabled person’s privacy again?” The female voice said.

“Yeah, yeah, do you have any private photos or little videos? Let me see them.” Xia Yu wasn’t a nice guy either, so he retaliated.

“Forget it. There isn’t a single one, neither in the phone nor in the computer.” The female voice wasn’t provoked by Xia Yu, though her tone still carried anger.

To avoid provoking her further, Xia Yu put his hand down.

“I just wanted to smell if you’re as fragrant as your name.” He tried to explain.

Rubbing his forehead, Xia Yu sighed. He retracted his previous statement that Xu Youxiang was normal. A normal person would initially panic and get angry, but they wouldn’t be unable to engage in friendly communication at all.

Opening the laptop, Xia Yu said to Xu Youxiang, “I came here just to use your body to learn something.”

“Learn how to play with a disabled woman’s body?”

“Can’t we just talk nicely?” Xia Yu requested friendly communication.

“Talk with a robber who forcibly took over my body?” Xu Youxiang scoffed.

“Don’t make it sound like I broke in and did something bad. I just normally possessed your body.”

However, Xia Yu could tell that her anger wasn’t specifically directed at him—he was just a scapegoat.

As for the real culprit, it was obviously those useless legs.

Ignoring Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu looked at the laptop in his hand and fell into thought.

How should he learn programming?

It was a highly specialized skill, and Xia Yu, who had never studied it before, didn’t even know where to start.

At this moment, Xu Youxiang spoke up.

“In the hidden folder on the D drive, there are the little movies you want to see. Aren’t you eager to see what kind of disabled woman I am? Now you can observe what kind of movies she watches, whether they’re the same as normal people. Exciting, right?” Xu Youxiang spoke mockingly.

Xia Yu didn’t open the hidden folder on the D drive. Instead, he placed the laptop aside, feeling that he needed to have a proper conversation with her.

“Can we talk calmly for a while?” Xia Yu said.

“How does it feel?” Xu Youxiang’s tone remained strange.

“As you can see, I’m a wizard, but I’m still an apprentice. If you help me now, I will reward you once I become a real wizard.” Xia Yu lied casually.

After a moment of silence, Xu Youxiang asked, “What about curing my legs?”

“Have you checked at the hospital?” Lying was one thing, but deceiving someone’s feelings was another. Xia Yu generally avoided the latter.

“I did. Current medical technology can’t cure it.” Xu Youxiang replied.

“If it can’t be cured in District One, what about District Two?” Xia Yu frowned. If Xu Youxiang simply couldn’t afford treatment, he could help her financially when he had money. But if it wasn’t a matter of money, he would be helpless.

Maybe he could learn some medical skills?

Modern medicine might not be able to cure some diseases, but in the game, magic could, though it would definitely require a very high level.

“No, no hospital can cure it properly!” Xu Youxiang, who had just calmed down a bit, became emotional again.

“I can’t help now, but maybe I can in the future.” Xia Yu honestly replied.

“Get out, leave my body!” Xu Youxiang became furious again.

“Alright, alright, but I can’t leave right now. You need to wait a few hours.”

Ignoring her again, Xia Yu searched online for programming books and started studying.

Eight hours passed, and he returned to his own body.

Sitting up, he opened the skill panel, but there was no “Programming Lv.1” displayed. Xia Yu rubbed his aching head.

Previously, with painting and piano, he had guidance from An Siyao, the black cat’s dexterity and intimidation, and his own experience, so he could progress quickly. But now, with programming, which he had never touched before and had no guidance on, he encountered difficulties.

Eight hours had passed, and he still hadn’t even reached level one!

That little girl was too temperamental. He couldn’t even ask her to recommend a textbook.

Combined with her continuous insults for eight hours and his discomfort from holding his bladder for eight hours without knowing how to use the toilet, Xia Yu began to consider whether he should give up on this body.

Continuing like this would only result in mutual harm.

Maybe he should go and stake out near a big company to catch a pretty programmer instead.

He’d save it for now. Today, he had to go to An Siyao’s place. He’d think about it again tomorrow.
