Huaxia, mountain city. It's the hottest time of the year again. As the temperature rises to 45 degrees, even the noise of cicadas on weekdays has decreased.

Looking out the window at the air distorted by the heat, and the sparsely populated streets, it's hard to imagine that this is a city with a population density second only to the Imperial Capital and the Demon Capital.

"It's better to stay at home on a sunny and sunny day. But today is my birthday, and it's a bit too bleak to think about it, just squatting alone at home with nothing to do and wasting food?"

Wu Yu withdrew his gaze from the window and focused on the image of himself faintly visible on the window glass, a slightly immature and delicate cheek matched with a slightly blue pale complexion.

If we look a little further back into the room, we can see that it is a small tatami mat made up of hundreds of books on top of each other. Teenagers in student uniforms are surrounded by cheese pizza, Big Mac burgers, cola, chicken nuggets, potato chips, chocolate, puffs and other high-calorie foods.

And looking at the garbage cans stuffed with various packages, it is obvious that this is a thin man who is overeating, a thin man - Wu Yu, who is 1.79 meters tall but weighs less than 100 catties, can be described as a more euphemistic way of saying thin.

Raising the unusually obvious hand with the green tendons exposed, squinting at the dazzling light source in the sky, Wu Yu clenched hard in the air but felt a burst of weakness.

"After all, maybe it's the last birthday. Wu Yu crumpled the newspaper in front of him that had read it word by word to the last word, "There is almost no way to hold on any longer." ”

........

Everyone in the compound knows that the Wu family has a "child from someone else's family", who has been the most obedient and worry-free since he was a child.

When he was four or five years old, when his peers were chasing and fighting in the yard, his parents came home and were surprised to find that he didn't know how to turn over a book like "Red Rock" at home, which even many adults only collect rather than read, and still look at it with relish.

And what is also surprising is that this child rarely cries, and it doesn't matter if he can read quietly all day as long as he has a book.

It stands to reason that such a long-term stay without exercise will be poor, the strange thing is that although this child does not exercise much every day when he reads books, his height is growing upwards, and his height is already close to one meter eight in the first year of junior high school.

The amount of reading far exceeding that of his peers has made Wu Yu glorious since the first day of school.

Not to mention normal poems and songs or historical stories, just watching Wu Yu holding a copy of the Olympiad can be fascinated and even drool, it simply makes the friends in the same yard feel the despair of not being able to catch up.

Fortunately, I don't know if I am lucky or unlucky, Wu Yu is not a talented little prodigy, so he did not kill all children of the same age, but the label of a good child who studies hard is pasted without question.

A little rebellious, that is, Wu Yu was addicted to fantasy novels for a while when he was in junior high school, and some strange thoughts came up.

After a few days of hard education by Wu's father, he didn't mention those weird ideas, and he studied hard, but he also saw a little bit of thinness, but externally, this was all a manifestation of hard work.

However, only Wu Yu knows that he does not deny that he likes to read purely as a hobby. It's just that more because as I get older, I vaguely feel that I seem to be a little different from others.

Touching the words in countless works is not only a hobby for Wu Yu, but a necessary way to survive.

Although in the eyes of outsiders and even in the eyes of his parents, Wu Yu, who looks no different from everyone, eats, studies, and sleeps normally every day, but this child has a bit of a reading habit, but this is a great advantage in the eyes of adults, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.

At one time, Xiao Wu Yu himself had already recognized his so-called reading addiction. Until one time, I was forcibly taken out by my parents to travel to the wild to feel nature, although I had a carefree diet, I didn't touch the text for a week, and finally I fainted with hunger.

Fortunately, when he was rescued in the hospital, he insisted on asking his parents to bring the book to the hospital bed and survived.

Since then, Wu Yu has clearly realized that he is indeed different, but unfortunately he is just a humanoid bookworm who must live by reading.

The food intake in the material world cannot be truly transformed into one's own body energy, only through a little reading of the text can the transformation process of one's own energy be built, one's hunger will be smoothed, and finally reflected in one's own physical growth.

Originally, it was good not to read too many books, but Lotte's Wu Yu had already thought about being a happy little bookworm who ate and drank together, and then spent his life in peace and stability. Even in order to achieve this goal of eating and drinking in advance, only various books are required for birthday gifts every year after that.

But at the age of twelve, something even more tragic happened. Wu Yu found that the way that he could once obtain survival energy by reading classics or reading books began to gradually become unworkable.

Because, a book story that has been published for too long will actually deteriorate into an existence that cannot provide energy!

On that day, when Wu Yu frantically rummaged through all the famous books in his study and even all the school textbooks, exercises, and teaching aids, but only felt a burst of barely satisfying stomach, a cold fact was placed in front of Wu Yu, he was still likely to starve to death.

Since then, how to survive, this philosophical speculation, has become an important problem that a young bookworm who has just graduated from primary school needs to face every day.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and after entering junior high school, Wu Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that in the bookstall next to the school, the newspapers, magazines and fantasy novels that change from time to time are often within the "shelf life".

Considering the burden of expensive books, a year later, Wu Yu, a naïve second-year junior high school student, plucked up the courage to tell his father that he had found that he had to read fantasy novels every day because they were relatively fresh and could keep him alive.

The inexorable truth is that no matter which father hears his second secondary school child openly declare, "Fresh fantasy novels are the food for my survival, and I can't absorb any nourishment from those rotten textbooks and famous books." And he is also very firm that what he said is from his heart, and it will inevitably only be exchanged for a burst of thunder (three) thunder (view) poison (heavy) beating (plastic) full of fatherly love to correct this kind of rebellious thinking.

In the days that followed, Wu Yu could only be like a small animal, hiding every day to read a little fresh novel to avoid starvation. But there seems to be a pair of ruthless big hands, pushing this little bookworm into the abyss little by little.

As I get older, the shelf life of books and texts becomes shorter and shorter, and in the end, I can only rely on reading newspapers every day and reading serialized novels on my mobile phone or computer to maintain basic survival, and at the same time, I have to take care of my studies and read a lot of textbooks to avoid being found out by Shun Teng again. Wu Yu people naturally inevitably lost weight.

However, just today, the newspaper reported that the high school entrance examination was over yesterday, and compared the answers, he found that he was actually hungry, and it is estimated that most of them can still be crushed into the city's key high schools with absolute advantage.

Wu Yu did not have the slightest joy in his heart, but a trace of bitterness and helplessness, because even though he was still eating food, he did not have the slightest hunger relief, and he could only feel an embarrassing bloating that wanted to go to the toilet.

"Are you so stingy that you won't even give it to me for a day?"

Maybe that's why I haven't heard of a second bookworm for so many years, and it's so hard for a bookworm to survive in this world.

………

I really want to go to high school, college, and even more distant future.

I really want to meet the cute girl in the novel, try to see if holding hands will have the feeling of electric shock.

I really want to be able to live forever and immerse myself in an endless world where new words are bursting out every moment!
