Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

In her previous life, Xia Liuying was specially admitted to Chengdu High School with her first place in the Baihe City High School Entrance Examination. However, her grades could only be considered above average in the elite Chengdu High School.

Rather, it is surprising that she can rank in the middle or upper class with her own grades. After all, in addition to the necessary courses for ordinary high schools, Sungkyun High School also has music, sports, dance, etiquette, etc. An "elite" course.

And the points assigned to each subject are ridiculously high. The so-called academic performance is just an embellishment in the daily life of Chengdu High School students.

It's just that Xia Liuying, who was born in an ordinary family, experienced failure in music, passing grades in sports, retaking dance, and barely passing etiquette. She was depressed and lost for a long time before she adjusted her mentality.

In the end, I graduated from Sungkyun High School with above-average grades and was admitted to a foreign art university majoring in photography, taking oil painting as an elective. I couldn’t tell whether I chose the art industry to escape or to wash away the shame of three years in high school.

After graduation, Xia Liuying chose to return to China and work in a well-known photography company in the industry.

Judging from her resume, she is considered a relatively promising newcomer in the professional circle, but this potential does not extend to being well-known by the public. If geniuses are also divided into levels, she may be the one who has just crossed the passing line.

Photography is actually a job that tests qualifications and may also test your wallet. Fortunately, the photography company that Xia Liuying joined has a much higher salary than her peers, but she has to travel around for many years without even much rest time.

She has photographed red carpets of European and American stars, portraits of domestic stars, covers of model magazines, promotional landscape photos of tourist areas, polar day and night in the North and South Pole, animal migrations in the African grasslands...

There was no reason for dreams or yearnings. Just because I couldn't find the path I wanted to take, I followed the senior photographers who exuded the light of "idealists" and went to various places to shoot, observe and learn.

A mediocre and short life.

Xia Liuying suddenly remembered the memory of the moment she died - on the African grasslands, poachers' guns were aimed at the photographer who accidentally photographed them.

"Bang." I couldn't tell whether it was the sound of a gunshot or the sound of my brain exploding.

Death is too simple and easy.

But more than death, what impressed Xia Liuying more deeply were the elephants, rhinoceroses and other animals whose teeth had been removed and horns had been removed and could only survive and wait for death.

Facing that cruel scene, she was so powerless that she couldn't even do anything. The only photo that could be used as evidence was that she didn't know if she was taken away safely by her companions...

"I will definitely deal with the poachers who hunt wild animals in the future! Seek justice for those animals!"

Immersed in the regretful memories of death, Xia Liuying didn't notice that she actually spoke her heart out loud.

Coincidentally, an advertisement promoting the protection of wild animals was playing on the advertising screen in the middle of the bus.

As soon as the words came out, Xia Liuying suddenly came back to her senses and realized something was wrong. The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Her junior high school classmates whose names she didn't remember also looked at her in surprise.

Xia Liuying was about to open her mouth to say something to explain, when a sudden, passionate voice enveloped her completely.

"You're right!", "What the little girl said is so good!", "Yes, bad guys should be punished!", "Does the little girl also want to be a Star Man?", "Young people should have this kind of heart. !", "I support you, little girl!", "Come on, little girl!"...

The uncles, aunts and uncles who were originally very quiet on the bus and didn't have much communication with each other suddenly seemed to have some buttons turned on. They surrounded Xia Liuying enthusiastically and offered cordial and friendly blessings.

Xia Liuying couldn't bear such enthusiastic blessings and couldn't hear clearly what was said. She could only cater to him awkwardly, with a stiff smile on his face. He grabbed his friend's hand and quickly pulled him out of the car when he arrived at the station.

"I now believe that you are planning to enter Chengjun High School. Come on!" The two of them gasped for air together, and the junior high school classmate said with lingering fear while stroking his chest.

Then he couldn't help laughing twice, then he straightened up and waved goodbye to Xia Liuying. When they got here, the two of them were about to leave separately. Her house was on another road.

Xia Liuying didn't pay attention to what the other party said. She just stared blankly at the familiar road and blurted out a name: "Xie Yangran."

Xie Yangran turned around, not quite understanding why Xia Liuying was so strange today, "Huh? What's wrong, Yingying."

"Be careful on the road." Xia Liuying said dryly.

Xie Yangran shook his head speechlessly, turned his back and waved to Xia Liuying, his voice lively and cheerful, "Okay, okay, future star hero Xia Liuying, I know!"

Xia Liuying kept watching Xie Yangran's figure disappear around the corner, then turned and walked towards the home in her memory, with an unconscious smile on her face.

I walked slowly, not fast, looking at the familiar scenery and buildings around me. It was like walking home, and the memories from my middle school days gradually became clearer.

Get off the bus at the station and walk down a street. You can see a wide and flat road. The road stretches into the distance, as if there is no end. When I was a child, I always felt that the distance was far away. But when I grew up, I realized that the end of the road was just a short distance away. A big shopping mall.

The community where Xia Liuying lives is in the middle of this road. To be precise, the entrance is there, the gate of the new and atmospheric community. A familiar old man is shaking the cattail leaf fan and listening to the sound of the radio. A wooden chair is sitting on it. Under the shade of the door, I watched the vehicles and people coming and going.

"Xiaoying is back, how did you do in the exam?" The old man greeted him kindly with a smile, and the familiar voice suddenly took Xia Liuying back to the time when she was young.

"Not bad." Xia Liuying showed a big smile, her smile was bright and bright. The results in her previous life have proved that she has this confidence.

"Hahaha, then you have to go home and ask your grandma to cook more delicious food." The old man also likes confident little girls. That confidence makes people feel like they are getting younger.

The building where Xia Liuying's house is located in the middle of the community is facing the big park in the middle of the community. It is on the seventh and eighth floors of the top floor. Because the eighth floor is a loft-like house, it is difficult to sell it separately, so it is usually packaged and sold together with the seventh floor. go out.

The interior of the house was opened up after buying it. There are stairs that can go up and down directly. The total area is about 200 square meters.

When Xia Liuying's parents divorced, the house was difficult to divide as joint property, so they signed a contract together. Neither of them wanted the house and left it to their daughter Xia Liuying.

Xia Liuying's stepmother had coveted this house. Although it was not in the city center, it was still pretty good.

But after all, it was something Xia Liuying's parents had already negotiated, and she couldn't get involved. In this regard, Xia Liuying's father was pretty clear about it, so this house belonged to Xia Liuying completely.

The elevator only goes to the seventh floor, and Xia Liuying is used to entering from the seventh floor.

Her grandparents were old and their legs and feet were inconvenient for climbing stairs, so the spacious seventh floor was given over to them. Xia Liuying lived in the attic on the eighth floor.

Although the loft on the eighth floor is relatively small, it is still enough for Xia Liuying. There is a balcony with an angled window outside the master bedroom, the second bedroom has been converted into a small study, and there is also an independent bathroom, kitchen and small living room.

In my memory, Xia Liuying moved in when she was three years old. Everywhere in the house has traces of her, from a family moving in with each other in a loving relationship, to two people moving out without looking back. It’s only been a few years since I left.
