"Holy shit!"
Startling upright from his deathbed, as the poem goes.
Shen Yuan had been enjoying a nice afternoon nap when he suddenly shot awake.
The commotion was so great it even woke up Ah Jie, who was sleeping beside him.
"An earthquake?" Ah Jie glanced around, saw that nothing had happened, and went back to sleep.
Li Zhi frowned at Shen Yuan. "What are you doing?"
Still shaken, Shen Yuan said, "I had a dream. I dreamt I turned into a cockroach sprawled across a math test! It was terrifying! I'd turned into a cockroach and still had to do math problems!"
The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched. "I suggest you refer to *Metamorphosis*. When Gregor turned into a bug, he was worried he could no longer help his family. So what you should be worried about isn't your appearance, but whether you'll still have hands to fill in the answer sheet after becoming a cockroach."
"Pfft!"
Ah Jie, who had been about to fall back asleep, couldn't hold it in and was suddenly wide awake.
