The theory of evolution

Chapter 213

After the lights were turned off, Xia Zhen lay beside Bai Shuying, suddenly moved her body, and leaned her head on her shoulder.In the darkness, she let out a faint sigh, "When I was young, I always wished that I could have a sister. Whenever I had something on my mind or was wronged outside, I could lie beside her and tell her the story."

"It's a pity that I'm the eldest child in my family. Whenever I have something to worry about or feel wronged, my father will only scold me severely, scolding me for nothing but crying and being useless. She gave me the best things in the world, but she never calmed down and listened to my thoughts. She thought that I would be happy if I lived a life of luxury, but I really don’t have that much ambition. , I don’t want everything, sometimes, I just want the whole family to get together for dinner, just like every normal family should have.”

Bai Shuying was startled, this was the first time she heard Xia Zhen talk about her family affairs, she didn't make a sound, but gently held Xia Zhen's cold hand in the dark.

"They 'train' me according to their own ideas, forcing me to learn things that I am not interested in at all, but they never show a single bit of concern for me, sister, can you believe it, my father, he I can’t even remember my birthday. I want to resist, I don’t want to live that kind of life again, like a machine every day, locked in the room reading those boring books, receiving repeated training day after day, a little resistance, I will be severely reprimanded by my father. And my mother, she will only compensate me with more good things, thinking that this can make up for the unhappiness in my heart... Haha..." Xia Zhen chuckled, "They thought I will obey willingly for the rest of my life, but they must not have thought that even if I die, I will not continue to live like that."

Her voice was light and ethereal, as if it would dissipate in the air the next moment, "So when I was 15 years old, I set fire to my bedroom."

Bai Shuying didn't say anything, just turned sideways and gently hugged her trembling body.Xia Zhen buried her head in her arms, and soon, she felt that the pajamas on her chest were getting soaked.

"But, sister..." Xia Zhen's voice was also tinged with tears, "This is the thing I have done in my life, and I regret it the most."
