Traveling through a book to save the heroine in the apocalypse? Are you crazy?

"This girl has lived with her grandmother in the countryside since she can remember. Although life was hard, now I think that was the happiest time for the little girl, because she didn't have to go hungry every day."

"If it could always be like this the little girl would be very happy, but when the little girl was four years old, her parents whom she had never met appeared."

Having said this, Ye Yiyi turned to look at Yang Luoliu. She was clearly smiling, but Yang Luoliu could see endless sadness in her eyes.

Then Ye Yiyi turned around and spoke.

"Do you find it strange? Why did I use the idiom 'never seen before'? Do you think I used it wrong? But no, I didn't use it wrong, not at all. Ever since the little girl could remember, the image of 'parents' has been blank. She has never seen 'parents', and she doesn't even know if she has parents. When the villagers laughed at the little girl for being picked up and a monster without parents, the little girl couldn't even refute it, because she really didn't have 'parents'."

Ye Yiyi spoke calmly, and even her tone was filled with relief, but the sadness in her eyes could not deceive anyone.

It seemed that Yang Luoliu's distressed look was too obvious, and Ye Yiyi gave Yang Luoliu a forced smile and spoke.

"Sorry, I got off topic."

After saying this, he turned his head without waiting for Yang Luoliu to say anything, continued to look at the mountains in the distance before slowly speaking.

"The little girl was very happy when she saw her parents for the first time. Their presence gave her the confidence to refute others. She could finally say, 'I am not a bastard or a monster. I have parents.' Especially since her parents finally decided to take her away."

"You have no idea how happy the little girl was when she heard the news. Her parents finally remembered her. What a pity. She was still young at that time. How could she understand? If they really liked her, why would they have left her alone for so many years?"

"Maybe she does, but she wants her parents too much. She wants everyone to know that she is not a bastard."

Perhaps it was because the wind on the rooftop was too strong, and the tears that had stopped flowing slid down her cheeks again without warning. When she spoke again, her voice was choked with inexplicable sobs.

"In fact, the little girl also has fantasies. She fantasizes that she can live a good life after her parents take her back. It's just a pity that her parents took her back only because her mother was pregnant and wanted a free babysitter. She is only four years old."

"Every day, she has to get up before dawn to do laundry and cooking. Basically, everything she can and cannot do falls on her. It's time for her to go to kindergarten, but she is locked up at home and has lost even her freedom."

"The most leisurely days at that time were when she was locked in her room, watching people coming and going downstairs through the security net. She dreamed of going out, of leaving that cage-like house, but no one could save her."

"Until her younger brother was born a year later, the little girl's hell finally began. Whenever her younger brother cried, she would be beaten and scolded. Over time, the little girl got used to it. If it had been just like this, she would probably have grown up. But do you know what the parents did?"

Yang Luoliu beside her did not answer, nor did she have any way to answer. All she could do was sit aside and listen quietly.

At this moment, Yang Luoliu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart, and she hated herself.

Why couldn't I appear in front of Ye Yiyi at that time? I hated myself for being unable to do anything now.

Ye Yiyi didn't understand Yang Luoliu's current mood, and didn't ask Yang Luoliu to answer.

After saying this, he continued talking to himself.

"When the little girl was about to enter the first grade, they began to get annoyed with her and wanted to send her back to the countryside. However, her grandmother in the countryside had long passed away, and her grandparents also disliked her. In an instant, the little girl became a hot potato, pushed back and forth, and no one was willing to accept her."

"They didn't dare to throw it away, and no one wanted to give it to someone because they all had their own precious babies. The little girl was just a burden, and life became more and more difficult. Whenever the couple was unhappy, they would take it out on the little girl. We are obviously a society ruled by law, so how can it still be like this?"

After saying this, Ye Yiyi chuckled instead. No one knew what she was laughing at, but that laugh revealed helplessness and sadness.

This laugh made Yang Luoliu clench her fists instantly. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say it when the words came to her lips.

She never knew that the cheerful and lively Ye Yiyi had experienced so much in her childhood.

Just what she said was enough to make Yang Luoliu feel like her heart was being stabbed by a knife. She didn't even dare to think about the details of that life where she was often beaten and scolded.

There were clearly only a few brief sentences, not even a long speech, and even the tone was bland.

But the more indifferent Ye Yiyi was, the more distressed Yang Luoliu felt. How could Ye Yiyi save herself in despair at that time?

After hearing what Ye Yiyi said, Yang Luoliu's heart felt as if it was pierced by tens of millions of needles, and the intense pain spread throughout his body.

Yang Luoliu felt extremely uncomfortable, but he had no way to relieve it. He could only look at Ye Yiyi with heartache.

At this moment, the rooftop was unusually quiet. Ye Yiyi no longer spoke, did not cry, and did not make any sound. She just stared at the rolling mountains in the distance.

It was as if all her senses were withdrawn, and Ye Yiyi was now more like a puppet, unconscious and without feeling.

Looking at Ye Yiyi like this, Yang Luoliu loosened and clenched the hands on his legs.

She wanted to hug Ye Yiyi in her arms, but was afraid of disturbing her.

But her silence scared Yang Luoliu, and finally, Yang Luoliu reached out and hugged Ye Yiyi in his arms.

When Ye Yiyi's cheek touched his neck, it was clearly cool and wet, but Yang Luoliu felt as if the hot skin was burning.

After rolling his throat for a long time, Yang Luoliu spoke cautiously in a hoarse voice.

"Yiyi, go back. It's too late."

What Yang Luoliu said was not wrong. The originally gray sky gradually began to sink during this period of time.

It was like a dark cloud looming, and Yang Luoliu felt uncomfortable after hearing about Ye Yiyi's experience.

Especially now, Ye Yiyi's hands were so cold that it felt like holding ice that had not melted for a thousand years.

Yang Luoliu knew that Ye Yiyi could not stay here now, but as long as there were more people around, they could slowly warm Ye Yiyi up, and all the bad things in the past would eventually be forgotten.

Just like myself at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Yang Luoliu planned to pick up Ye Yiyi and take her back.

But Yang Luoliu did not succeed, because Ye Yiyi reached out and hugged Yang Luoliu's waist tightly, and her head shook slightly on Yang Luoliu's neck.

It was clearly a rejection without any resistance, but Yang Luoliu still chose to respect Ye Yiyi.

But Yang Luoliu felt distressed and could only hug Ye Yiyi tightly, hoping to give Ye Yiyi strength and warmth.

Maybe Yang Luoliu's embrace was really warm, so warm that the chill that had spread from Ye Yiyi's heart to her feet gradually dissipated, and it also gave Ye Yiyi the courage to continue speaking.

This time, Ye Yiyi did not leave Yang Luoliu's arms. She just leaned in Yang Luoliu's arms and spoke.

"Sister, do you know how they arranged me in the end?"

Seeing that Ye Yiyi no longer called her "little girl", Yang Luoliu's already aching heart trembled.

She didn't know why Ye Yiyi changed her address, she just knew that what was going to happen next was probably not a good thing.

But Yang Luoliu also knew that if Ye Yiyi didn't say it out loud, she would feel even more uncomfortable if she kept it in her heart.

These wounds have already rotted and stink inside Ye Yiyi's body. Although it would be heartbreaking to dig them out, after the rotten flesh is removed, Ye Yiyi will have a new life.

So when Ye Yiyi said this, Yang Luoliu spoke in a relaxed manner.

"How was it arranged?"

However, Ye Yiyi laughed out loud when she heard what Yang Luoliu said. The crisp laughter broke the sad atmosphere.

Yang Luoliu didn't understand why Ye Yiyi was laughing, so he just hugged Ye Yiyi tighter, making it difficult for Ye Yiyi to breathe.

But now Ye Yiyi did not resist. Instead, she felt that this was a good thing. The sense of security surrounding her gave Ye Yiyi the courage to continue speaking.

"Of course I wasn't lost. After all, it's against the law. So what else can they do? They can only sell me, but isn't selling me against the law? So do you know what they did? On the surface, they said they wanted me to learn skills and sent me to talent classes that toured the country, but they took the money, they did."

Although she tried her best to keep her tone calm, Ye Yiyi's voice still trembled at the end. She was obviously their biological daughter and had the same blood. Should she be treated like this just because she was a girl?

How unfair this world is.

But some words can never be stopped once they are opened, as if years of grievances can suddenly be vented.

No matter good or bad, finally she is not bearing it alone. Even though Ye Yiyi would be scared if she just recalled a little bit of those memories.

But you're not alone now, are you?

"The circus troupe saw that I was good-looking, so they didn't treat me harshly. I even had the best life in the troupe. That was the best and happiest time of my life. There was always work to do and I had enough to eat every day. My seniors were very caring towards me even though they were disabled. I could even go to school. Do you know how happy I was when I first walked into the campus? Even though I only stayed in one place for a very short time, I was very happy because I felt like I had touched a ray of sunshine."

"I even started to think it was a good thing that my parents sold me, until I saw the class owner, whom I had always regarded as a father, breaking the limbs of the newly bought healthy people. Only then did I realize that the brothers and sisters in the class who had disabled limbs were actually healthy at first."

Having said this, Ye Yiyi hugged Yang Luoliu even tighter.

"I started to get scared, afraid that he would treat me like this and make my hands and feet disabled, but the class owner said that I was different from them and that he treated me as his daughter, so I really put my mind at ease. In order to make him feel my obedience, I even started to help him teach those who were disobedient."
