"After I left home, I had nowhere to go, and I didn't dare to stay in the village. I was afraid that when the villagers saw me, they would ask my parents to take me back, and everything I did would be meaningless."

"I went to the town. I didn't know where my destination was, and I didn't know how long I had been walking. Suddenly I heard someone talking around me that someone had been in a car accident in front of me. It was a little girl who seemed to be looking for her sister. She was holding a I asked everywhere for photos.”

"After I heard the news, I suddenly panicked. I quickly asked for directions and ran towards the place they said..."

Qiao Yu pursed her lips and asked softly, "Is it Ling Hua?"

"...Yes." Ling Shu nodded, his eyes slightly red, "When I went there, Xiao Hua had already been sent to the hospital, and there was only a large pool of blood there."

"I inquired all the way to the hospital. My father and mother were there. When they saw me, they beat me without saying a word."

"Xiao Hua was sent to the emergency room. Her life was barely saved, but her leg... was broken."

"The doctor said that if Xiao Hua's leg is to be cured, surgery is necessary, but after the surgery, even if she can stand up again, she will not be able to dance again... and the surgery will cost a lot of money, but our family... I really have no money..."

Ling Shu lowered his eyelashes and sighed, "You should have guessed the final result."

"My parents gave up the surgery. Xiao Hua... was in a wheelchair."

"So... Ling Hua was eventually sent to the orphanage..." Qiao Yu sighed softly.

"Yeah..." Ling Shu raised her head slightly and tried hard to control her tears, but two crystal tears still fell from the corners of her eyes. "Children who can't take care of themselves have to deal with the situation of our family at that time." Said, it is already an unbearable burden..."

"Xiao Hua was sent to the orphanage. The orphanage was far away, and I couldn't go there by myself at that time. I cried and made trouble, but my parents stopped me."

"They locked me up and used hard and soft tactics. My mother cried and knelt down and begged me to be more obedient. She said... If I really want my sister back, then study hard, study hard, and make money, as long as I have With the money, I can take the little painting back..."

"I believed what they said. So I studied hard and started working to make money when I turned fourteen. The first money I saved, I bought a ticket to the orphanage."

"But when I happily thought I could see Xiao Hua again, I found that the orphanage had been burned down by a fire. I asked the people in charge of the aftermath, and they said that Xiao Hua's body was not found, but it was at the back door of the orphanage. A wheelchair was found nearby.”

"Later, I asked many people intermittently and checked many places, but I couldn't find Xiao Hua anywhere. They all said that Xiao Hua might be dead, but I didn't believe it. You have to see the person alive and the body after death. Since the wheelchair Appearing at the back door, it’s very likely that Xiao Hua has escaped.”

"In the next few years, I worked harder and worked part-time, trying desperately to get into the military academy. Because once I joined the army, it would be easier to find people."

"Later, I successfully entered the military academy, joined the army, and met Commander Xie. After he learned about me, he promised me that he would help me find my sister... I am really grateful to him..."

"Then you... found Ling Hua after the apocalypse, right?" Qiao Yu asked softly. Although it was a question, there was a hint of certainty in her tone.

"Captain Qiao is wise." Ling Shu curled his lips slightly, but soon suppressed his smile again, "I met Xiao Hua by chance during a rescue mission after the apocalypse."

"I was really happy to see her again... so happy and excited."

"But I soon discovered that Xiao Hua didn't seem to be happy about our reunion. Instead, he seemed very resistant."

"At that time, I only saw disgust and hatred in her eyes."

"Her temperament has changed a lot. She is no longer gentle and easy-going. She has become extreme and gloomy, and the smallest thing can make her hysterical..."

"I don't know why she became like this, but I know that she must have suffered a lot..."

"When the rescue team returned, they encountered mutated plants."

"That plant is weird and powerful. We are no match for it."

"When I ran away, I carried the small painting on my back."

"But I may have overestimated my strength, because during the escape, Xiao Hua and I were eaten by the plant..."

"You already know what happened next..."

After listening to Ling Shu's narration, Qiao Yu sighed with emotion. Life is full of different situations, and as expected, everyone has their own story that they can't help themselves to.

"Captain Qiao, I..." There was a hint of hesitation on Ling Shu's face. He was about to continue saying something, but was interrupted by a low and slightly trembling voice.

"So...is that so..."

Ling Shu's eyes suddenly opened slightly, "Xiao Hua? When did you wake up? How do you feel now? Does it still hurt..."

When Qiao Yu saw this, she glanced at Jiang Zhan in surprise, but Jiang Zhan shook his head slightly.

She said that she did not wake up Ling Hua, but she did wake up spontaneously.

Ling Hua heard Ling Shu's question, but did not answer. He just murmured in a low voice: "So... that's it..."

A few seconds later, Ling Hua suddenly burst into laughter that was both joyful and sad. The laughter got louder and louder, but the tears in her eyes kept falling like broken beads.

"Hahahaha...it has always been me...it turns out that from the very beginning...it has always been me who was going to be sent away!"

"Xiao Hua... Xiao Hua, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."

Ling Shu couldn't see Ling Hua's face, but just from his voice, he could tell that Ling Hua's current mood was very wrong.

"what--"

Ling Hua's crying became heavier and heavier. Finally, like an emotional breakdown, she yelled hysterically, then covered her face and cried in pain.

"Xiao Hua... don't cry, sister is here!"

Ling Shu was a little overwhelmed by Ling Hua's sudden mood and could only continue to coax her softly.

Ling Hua cried for an unknown amount of time, and his voice became hoarse.

She arched her waist and put her chin on her chest, trying hard to curl up slightly.

Cheng Sinian said that this is a very typical form of people wanting to protect themselves after being traumatized.

Then Ling Hua's crying gradually became lower, his face showed a hint of vulnerability, and his tone revealed a deep sense of despair and dependence.

"...Sister...I really...hurt..."
