Chapter 1: Dreams Are Not Dreams

Next Chapter

On December 31, 2071, a new year is about to begin, and no one knows what will happen in the new year, but no one worries either, because good days are always ahead, and all that is needed now is to enjoy the joy of the moment and occasionally look forward to the future.

The weather in December is very cold, and the simulated flame effect in the electronic heater modeled after the fireplace is very realistic, and you can feel the warmth of the house both physically and psychologically. The family of three was eating, laughing, and chatting, and the content was nothing more than the things planned to move abroad in order to give their son a broader platform. Of course, it is not only because of their son that they want to leave, but also because the couple wants to completely change their current lives, after all, they have finally waited for this time.

The sound of laughter and cheerful music playing on the speakers drowned out the sound of the small dishes and chopsticks touching the tabletop, and also made the footsteps on the stairs seem vague. The son seemed to have discovered something, looked up, and before he had time to think about it, he was attracted by the foreign scenery described by his father and threw himself into a new round of imagination.

Tomorrow is a special day because it is the beginning of a new year and a girl's birthday. However, since one day more than ten years ago, this day no longer has a different meaning. The girl will turn her eighteen tomorrow, and it is an important day for all children. Eighteen years old means adulthood, but for the girl's parents, it means that a burden can finally be lifted.

The family seems to be really too lively recently, no one can remember the girl's birthday, as if this day is no different from the other 364 days, even the younger brother who has been remembering to say happy birthday in the past few years, in the atmosphere at this moment, it seems that only the joy of longing for a foreign world is left.

The home is really cozy, yes, this warmth only belongs to three people.

The girl returned to her room, and the warmth just now was like an illusion, so far away.

Today's dinner, the girl ended a little early, but no one cared. Although this family did not retain much love for her, they never withheld basic food and clothing, which was their greatest kindness. The girl was not hungry in the first place, but now in a quiet environment, she was even more isolated from all outside senses, except for a moment of pain.

"1...2...3...4..."There was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and the sound of counting gently, knowing that no one could hear it, but the girl still allowed herself to count.

Gradually, the sound of water slowly became smaller, and the sound of counting became almost inaudible, and he shook his head to sober himself up a little, but in a trance, he vaguely forgot to count to a few.

I don't know if it's because the water is lost with the warm liquid, the girl feels a little dry, after enduring it, she can't help it, she wants to stick out her tongue and lick the lips that seem to be a little uncomfortable, but the tongue seems to be numb, and she has no strength to stick to the lip flap.

Nowadays, people have a long life expectancy, which is the credit of the development of science and technology, even if the average is only eighty or ninety years, it is countless days and nights, and people have more time to enjoy the beauty of life. But these days and nights are also very short for some people, the happy days slip away in an instant, and the unhappy days want to try to make it fade, and over time, I don't feel how long the days are.

The funny thing is that the same is true of memories, happy memories are always so short, but unpleasant memories are so deep that they don't want to erase them all the time, so there are not many memories left.

There was some pain, not in the wrist, but in the whole body, which slowly appeared to drill into the bone marrow, but the brain was too sluggish, and there was an illusion that it was not me. At first, I could still feel the gradual coldness of my body, but now only Mu Ran was left, and vaguely, something was being withdrawn, uncontrollably withdrawn.

"Will you regret it?" The girl had this question in her mind, and when there was a noise outside the door, for a moment the girl wanted to answer, yes. The funny thing is that even though the ears are no longer audible, I can still clearly feel that the person who made the voice did not have much heartache, and some were just panicked and annihilated, and the poor "Hui" was also wiped out.

The girl's soul laughed at that moment, and laughed a little miserably. As she lay dying, she wanted to see the boy, the brother who could still bring her some warmth, even if it was just to hear his voice.

It's a pity that he will be well protected in such a scene, until his consciousness dissipates, and the girl doesn't feel her brother's approach.

When she opened her eyes, she thought in a trance that she was still the weak and dilapidated self who woke up in the miserable white room, but at this moment, what she saw was a large beam of golden sunlight, and under the sun, the backlight was also extremely clear.
