In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

At night, the rental house became quiet, and a petite figure slowly poked his head out of the storage room.

After looking around to confirm that her parents were still sleeping, Sophia took a deep breath and tiptoed towards the kitchen.

The little coffee bean came to the refrigerator, opened it, and saw the refrigerator full of caffeine again.

She knew exactly what it was and what she should do next.

Sophia stuffed bottles of caffeine into her backpack until it couldn't fit any more.

She clenched her fists, picked up her backpack, and walked into the bathroom of the rental house.

After closing and locking the bathroom door, Little Coffee Bean came to the sink.

Without hesitation, she took out the bottle from her backpack, unscrewed the cap, and poured the brown liquid in the bottle into the sewer.

One bottle after another, one after another, one after another...

Until the backpack was empty and the floor was covered with empty glass bottles.

After doing all this, Sophia seemed to have had all her strength taken away from her body, and she collapsed directly on the ground.

Little Coffee Bean moved his body to the corner of the bathroom, lowered his head and hugged his knees.

She vaguely remembered the past, her father's figure was still tall, and her mother's embrace was still warm.

When did it start to become like this?

Was it when my father came home excited and told his mother that he had found a way to make quick money?

Was it when the mother locked herself in her room and consumed her spiritual power to refine caffeine?

Is it the time when parents tried injections for the first time and were addicted to pleasure and never looked back?

When did this home stop feeling like a home?

Young Sophia didn't know the real answer. She only knew that caffeine was the source of all evil.

She misses the good old days, but has to struggle forward in the quagmire of reality.

Why can only coffee beans produce caffeine? Why was I born as a coffee bean? Why do they look down on my parents and me?

There were so many questions that Little Coffee Bean couldn’t figure them out at all.

After all, she is only a nine-year-old child.

Sophia closed her eyes. At this moment, she just wanted to sleep peacefully.

Maybe this is all a dream? As long as you wake up from the dream, it won't be like this anymore.

My father is still the tall and kind father, and my mother is still the beautiful and gentle mother.

Suddenly, there was a violent noise, which woke up the sleepy little coffee bean.

Something heavy was banging on the door crazily, with so much force that it even shook the door.

The crazy man roared, waved his arms vigorously, and slammed the door.

"Damn little bastard! Get out of here! I know you're in there!"

He pushed harder every time, even though blood was already flowing on his fists, the man still persevered in trying to break into the bathroom.

Sophia felt fear and huddled in the corner, shivering, praying that the door would not be opened.

But the bathroom door had been smashed into cracks, and soon, the glass on the door shattered, revealing a hole.

An arm stretched directly through the hole and opened the locked door.

The man kicked open the door with force, and burst into the bathroom like a furious lion.

After seeing the pile of empty glass jars on the ground and the small coffee beans huddled in the corner of the bathroom, the man's face became even more distorted with anger.

Men who do not consume caffeine in time feel as if a string representing their sanity is broken in their brains.

In other words, under the influence of a large amount of caffeine, his mind has long lost its sanity.

The man grabbed his daughter's collar, lifted her up, and then slapped her hard.

The force was so strong that it left a deep red mark on Sophia's face.

Little Coffee Bean let out a scream, but the man slapped her hard again, not caring that the child in front of him was his biological daughter.

"You loser, I'll beat you to death today!"

He threw Sophia to the ground and kicked her hard, knocking the little coffee bean directly into the corner.

One kick after another, the severe pain caused Sophia to curl up involuntarily, as if to protect herself from harm.

Such behavior only angered the man even more. His eyes were red and he abused his daughter without any scruples.

Drugs that are easily addictive bring countless addicts, one after another, towards an abyss representing depravity, which will never end.

"It's useless for you to do this..."

The woman's voice briefly awakened the man from his rage. He turned his head and looked at his wife with extremely cold eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"You better tell me what to do? Or I'll beat you too."

"Teach her a profound lesson, like this..."

The woman reached over the man, pulled Sophia up from the ground, and took her into her arms.

"mom, Mom, Mom···"

The bruised Little Coffee Bean closed his eyes tightly, but he could still feel who was holding him.

She murmured to herself and stretched out her hand, wanting to touch her mother again.

Sophia reached out to hope, but hope mercilessly pushed her into despair.

The woman opened her daughter's hand, and the syringe filled with caffeine in her hand was already stabbed hard at the little coffee bean's neck.

Tiger poison does not eat its children, but what these parents did shows that they are not worthy of being parents at all.

All the cold brown liquid was injected into Sophia's body. The concentrated caffeine made the little coffee bean no longer feel pain.

But Sophia knew very well that after injecting caffeine, she would fall into an endless hell and sink.

She struggled feebly, but the woman pressed her tighter.

Three full syringes of caffeine are enough to ruin the life of a little coffee bean.

"Dad...Mom...don't...don't leave me..."

The man and woman just turned around and left, leaving Sophia in the rental house, leaving her to fend for herself.

If the neighbor who heard the noise hadn't called the police, and the federal law enforcement officers arrived to save Little Coffee Bean's life, she would have become a cold corpse in this rental house.

······

Eleven years have passed by in a hurry, and in the medical center where the Federal 59th Army is stationed, a doctor named Sophia is busy.

She is an excellent psychiatrist and an excellent pharmacist.

Just after receiving a patient, the coffee beans were put into making medicine without stopping.

Just when Sophia was about to finish making the potion, a sudden heartbeat forced her to stop what she was doing.

"here we go again···"

Covering his chest with a pale face, Coffee Bean's right hand trembled as he slowly stretched out to the inside of his white coat.

"No, I shouldn't have done that..."

Sofia held her right hand that was ready to move with her left hand, sweat dripping from her cheeks.

Coffee Bean knelt on the ground in pain, his face getting paler.

She knew very well that as long as she took out the syringe containing caffeine and gave herself a shot, she would not be in such pain.

But Sophia didn't do that, and still struggled hard to fight against this impulse.

But she finally lost the battle and took out the syringe and stabbed it into her arm. After a while, Coffee Bean regained consciousness.

The phone rang. Sophia took it out and saw that it was a message.

He has been unable to start business in War Zone 59, and his dissatisfaction with coffee beans is revealed in every line.

The other party even threatened to stop supplying caffeine and demanded results within a month. This directly took Sophia's lifeline and made her feel extremely scared.

Even though Coffee Bean desperately didn't want to do this in her heart, her body would not agree with her to stop consuming caffeine.

Sophia murmured to herself, stood up from the ground in despair, looked at the empty syringe in her hand, and was lost in thought.

"But, what should I do..."
