Shen An, who was standing behind the wall, lowered her eyes and looked at the candy in her hand dully. That was the candy she had desperately tried to keep for Yi Yi. Even though those children punched and kicked her, she did not let go.

Her nose ached, and when she looked down, she saw a few drops of bright red liquid on the ground. She had a nosebleed, so she ran into the bathroom, pinched her nose, and then locked herself in the bathroom, crying loudly. The nosebleed kept flowing, and she kept wiping it with her sleeves. Her sleeves and face were covered in blood. Later, she never spoke to Yi Yi again. Every time Yi Yi greeted her, she ignored her, leaving her alone in embarrassment.

Later, she was spotted by a couple and the dean said they wanted to adopt her. She was very happy because she was going to have a father and a mother too!

That day, Yiyi cried and apologized to Shen An, saying: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, can you forgive me?"

Seeing her crying so sadly, Shen An thought that she really wanted to reconcile with her, so he nodded.

Yiyi wiped the tears from her face and smiled, "I have prepared a gift for you, come with me."

Shen An followed her to the recently renovated open-air balcony on the second floor, which had not yet been fenced.

Yiyi stood on the edge of the balcony, "This is the gift I prepared for you, you will like it!"

"Come down first, it's too dangerous there." Shen An said as he wanted to go over and pull her.

Before Shen An's hand touched her, Yiyi leaned back and fell down.

"Yiyi! Be careful!"

Shen An pounced over but failed to catch her. As she fell, she saw the smug smile on Yi Yi's face.

The loud noise attracted many people. There were some plastic foams for decoration downstairs, so Yiyi didn't fall. So, all this was planned by her.

Shen An lay on the edge of the balcony, looking at Yi Yi in disbelief, and even heard the crackling sound of snow coming out of the black and white TV.

"Are you okay, Yiyi?" The children and volunteers rushed over to care for her. The girl who fell on the foam kept crying and rubbing her red eyes with her hands. When she met Shen An's gaze, she showed fear on her face, and everyone understood at once.

"Murderer! A monster is a monster!"

Shen An ignored everyone else and just looked at Yi Yi below. Yi Yi smiled triumphantly when no one was paying attention.

Her mouth opened and closed, and Shen An could tell what she was saying.

She said: "I did it on purpose."

No matter how Shen An explained, those people insisted that it was Shen An who did it. Shen An had no motive to harm her, but they didn't care, because in their eyes, it was Shen An who did it.

The matter was suppressed by the director's mother and the police were not called, but Shen An lost his eligibility to be adopted forever, while Yiyi was pitied by the couple and was adopted.

So, from that moment on, she wanted to escape, to a place where no one knew her. She studied hard, and she had a scholarship every year in high school. She could have been admitted to her favorite school - University A. But the accident still happened.

In her senior year of high school, Shen An was under great pressure to study and suffered from severe sleep deprivation. She fainted. She fell at the last step. Just that one step would have allowed her to live the life she wanted.

When she woke up, the college entrance examination was over. After she fainted in the examination room, the dean's mother immediately rushed to the hospital to accompany her.

"Xiao An, I know you are very sad..." The dean was interrupted by Shen An before he could finish his words.

“Can I review for a year?”

The dean lowered his head, looking embarrassed: "As you know, there are many children in our hospital who want to go to school, and the funds are not enough."

Shen An looked at her, the light in his eyes dimmed little by little. After a long time, he looked away and covered himself with the quilt.

"I see."

She couldn't go to university, not even junior college. She went to work in a small company doing odd jobs, earning only 3500 yuan a month. In this huge city, she rented a house close to the company for 2000 yuan, commuted to get off work alone, and lived alone.

Almost everyone who knows Shen An says that her name means peace and safety, but only she herself knows that the "An" in Shen An means burial.

Yu Nian hugged Shen An, his tone full of heartache for Shen An: "You are so miserable, let me be your candy."

Shen An snuggled into her arms, his voice filled with suppressed emotions, "Yu Nian, I don't want to be alone anymore."

"No, Nie Feng, Hei Ya, and Xiao Bai will all be with you."
