Time in a collapsing world

Night, Nozomi's room.

Xi, who was lying on the bed reading a book, suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He quickly hid the book under the covers, then turned off the lights and lay on his side with his back to the door, pretending to be asleep.

Da da da---

After an unknown amount of time, the footsteps faded away until they disappeared. Xi quietly turned back and made sure that the door was still closed properly before turning on the small lamp on the bedside table.

"As expected, you haven't slept yet, Xi."

A sudden sound rang in her ears, and Xi's heart almost jumped out of fear. She quickly turned around and saw Li Zheng moving a stool to sit beside his bed, and he was holding a book in his hand. Isn't this the one she was reading just now?

Xi touched under the quilt, and sure enough, the book was gone.

"Big brother……"

Xi is a little embarrassed. Children who stay up late will be caught by their parents sooner or later...

"Don't stay up late if you have a cold. It's not too late to read the story tomorrow morning." Li Yang raised the storybook in his hand and educated him.

"Oh..." Xi responded obediently. Although she was very curious about the plot of the story, she still listened to Li's words.

"..."

Li glanced at Xi's expression and thought for a moment, "How many books do you have that you haven't read yet?"

"It's almost the end. There are only a few dozen pages. You can finish it quickly!" Xi said quickly after noticing the turn of events.

"Then I'll make an exception this time and let you watch for a while."

"Really? Big brother, is it really possible?" Xi said excitedly.

"I still understand how you feel. Not being able to see the finale will indeed make people restless." Li flipped through the storybook, read it briefly, and then handed it to Xi.

Xi happily took it, then sat up and leaned on the pillow to seize the opportunity to read down. But maybe in order to prevent Li from getting bored waiting, she tilted the book slightly so that Li could also see the top of the book. Content.

This book tells the tragic life story of a girl. Although the remaining unread pages are very thin, looking at the plot development of this book, it seems that it is still far away from the finale. It should be serialized.

The heroine in it is an ordinary female student named Yipei, who is fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as Xi, but compared to her, Xi's life is much better.

She had excellent grades in school, but for some reason she didn't have any friends and even suffered all kinds of bullying. This also meant that when she faced hardship, no one could turn to her, or in other words, she She never expected anyone to stand up for her.

Toads and mice would be maliciously stuffed into the table, and a few sharp thumbtacks would be placed on the chair while she was not paying attention. Even every time she returned home, all kinds of smelly garbage would be thrown at the door of her house.

She didn't ask the teacher for help, because when she tried, the teacher was like shooing away flies, and kicked her out of the office with a look of disgust on her face, not wanting to see her at all.

She didn't ask her parents for help, because her parents were already dead. Her father was executed for molesting many young children, and her mother chose to commit suicide because she couldn't see the hope of life. The heinous father was The fundamental reason why she was prejudiced against others.

But there is clearly no hope in sight, so why does she continue to live so tenaciously?

It's because she still has illusory illusions, the illusion that she can create a better future through her own efforts.

But soon, this fantasy was completely shattered by a car accident. On the way to school, a large truck rushed directly towards the crowd due to brake failure. Yipe subconsciously rushed over and pushed away several people who were about to be hit head-on. classmate, but at the expense of herself.

Her body was hit high by the truck and fell heavily to the ground, leaving a long bloody mark. Her whole body was in unbearable pain. She could not do anything else except breathe hard.

The truck that caused the accident ran away. In order to survive, Yipe could only look for help at the classmates around him and at the lucky ones who had saved their lives.

But unfortunately, they just covered the slight scratches caused by falling to the ground when they were pushed away, and looked at the savior who fell on the ground with disgust.

"It's really unlucky to be touched by such a person..."

The extremely cold words and the figure leaving without mercy also dimmed the light that symbolized hope in Yipei's eyes. She lay quietly on the ground, no longer thinking about struggling to live and waiting for death to come. .

However, I don't know whether it was God's favor or a fool, but she was put into the ambulance with the help of a passerby, and she was miraculously saved, but only just.

On the hospital bed, Yipei, who was lying on the bed with eyes blank, was thinking about the bad news that the doctor had just brought to her: the spine in her back was broken, and it would be difficult for her to sit or stand for the rest of her life. arrive.

In other words, her life will only be more difficult in the future as she is alone.

Not only that, the doctors also incurred high medical expenses, and they also spent a lot of energy to save Yipei.

In order not to increase the hospitalization expenses, Yipei resolutely asked the doctor to take her home. However, as soon as Yipei was put back on her own bed, the person sent by the doctor ran out of the room with a look of disgust on his face, covering his nose. A hut that had not been cleaned for a long time, was dirty and had an inexplicable odor.

"Mom, have you not cleaned our house for a long time?" Yipe looked at the wardrobe beside the bed. Countless flies were lingering, as if there was something inside that was attracting them.

"Ah...that's right. Mom, you can't do it now..." Yipei stared at the ceiling with a dull expression. Is it time? Is it time to give up?

But just as she was thinking this, a rather worn-out mobile phone in her hand rang slightly. Someone had sent a message.

Yipei's eyes lit up slightly. It was the editor. In the days when she was alone, in order to earn living expenses, she chose to write a book and write down her tragic experience completely. She soon became popular. Loved by many readers.

Yes, true stories are often so popular.

This daily urging text message from the editor also gave Yipei a glimmer of hope in life again.

She can't give up yet. She still has a chance. She just needs to hold on a little longer. She doesn't want to die as easily as her mother did.

Thinking of this, Yipei picked up the pen with difficulty. There was a small table on her bed, which was where she usually wrote books. She was very lucky that she was an author who liked to write books in bed.

New sufferings have come into her life, so she will have new content to show readers.
