"The light of medicine immediately turned into a teacher of medicine!" Ye Xinmei quipped on social media, recounting how she ended up walking for 15 minutes, passing fast-food joints and convenience stores, before finding an open clinic. However, it was a gynecology clinic, and since she wasn't planning to have a baby, she decided to head home.
"Illness can wait, but giving birth cannot. I don't plan to have a baby yet, so I just kept walking home to take medicine," she explained. The celebrity ended up taking over-the-counter medication and napping. The real surprise, however, came when she realized she had absentmindedly predicted the exact score of a football match.
Illness can wait, but giving birth cannot. I don't plan to have a baby yet, so I just kept walking home to take medicine.
In a daze, Ye Xinmei had apparently keyed in "England 2:1 Norway." To her astonishment, the match ended with England defeating Norway 2-1, with Jude Bellingham scoring twice. This accurate prediction secured England a spot in the semi-finals, where they would face the winner of the Argentina-Switzerland game. The celebrity's seemingly random guess turned out to be a winning prediction.
England 2:1 Norway
