But the next second, the moonlight slowly brightened, and Haiyin was draped in a holy white light, like a pure white soul about to ascend to heaven.

"Okay, I've heard your wish."

Looking up, in the light, a woman whose face was obscured and who wore a light veil smiled at her and said, "Ten years from now, I will come to find you."

From then on, Haiyin's illness was cured, and everything felt as real as a dream.

"What the fuck?"

Upon seeing this, Li Zhu was completely bewildered. "What's going on? This is supposed to be a romance movie, how come gods suddenly appeared?"

Despite her complaints, deep down Li Zhu still didn't want to see Haiyin die.

"Not bad, not bad, the story is starting to get interesting." Chika's eyes lit up; this plot twist was intriguing.

……

Chapter 145 Unfinished Two-in-One

"Don't just throw in a god at the drop of a hat. Do these screenwriters think they can't write normal romance movies without gods?"

The plot twist in the movie was unexpected.

Li Zhu was completely numb; the plot involving the mystical side was nothing like the orphanage he remembered.

It would be a lie to say that the time I spent in the orphanage in my previous life wasn't tough. Putting aside how harsh the conditions were, the constant malice around me was what made it so unbearable.

Those orphans were not lovable creatures; they were not only cold and selfish, but also incredibly shrewd. They pretended to be innocent, but secretly they were full of foul language and often committed petty theft.

Li Zhu could understand that this was their way of protecting themselves in their tragic circumstances, but not assimilating into their lives and living with dignity was also a way of life for her.

So even without that bullying, it was inevitable that he and Haiyin would be isolated by the group.

Back to the movie.

dong dong dong-

"Oh, it's Haiyin! What brings you here to see me today?"

Hearing the knock, the dean looked up and saw Haiyin standing excitedly at the door, an expression she rarely showed.

"Dean, I want to go to school!"

Haiyin's usually pale face had a healthy glow today, and even a winter bird would flap its wings and hop on a branch, singing the most melodious song.

“Go to school? With your health, I’m afraid…” The dean hesitated, his eyes filled with worry.

"I know, but I still want to go to school. I don't want to have any regrets." Haiyin's eyes were bright, radiating a firm and fearless spirit from within.

"No regrets...?"

The dean looked at her in surprise, as if recalling something. About three years ago, it was snowing heavily outside, and Haiyin, dressed in thin clothes and with a frail body, stood in the snow holding a letter, looking somewhat uneasy.

The doctor predicted she wouldn't live past nine years old, and thinking about it, that time is almost up...

"Okay, I'll help you contact a teacher at Xingfu Elementary School. It just so happens that Li Zhu is there too, so you two can look out for each other."

The dean's tone became increasingly gentle. This girl was well-behaved and obedient, just like his daughter when she was little. It was a pity that God had brought her so much suffering. If it weren't for her parents, perhaps her life would have been different. Alas, he could only try his best to fulfill the child's wishes.

"Thank you, Dean!"

After that, she appeared in Li Zhu's class as a transfer student, full of surprise and delight.

"Hai, Sister Haiyin?!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Zhu's... um, older sister, nice to meet you." After saying that, she winked playfully and chuckled at the astonished Li Zhu.

"I never imagined you had such a beautiful older sister!" the classmate exclaimed in surprise.

"It's alright, it's nothing special after a while. Let me tell you, Sister Haiyin is such a nice person..."

Li Zhu was incredibly proud, truly regarding Hai Yin as her outstanding older sister.

Then after class, the person sitting next to Li Zhu became Hai Yin, and the poor deskmate could only sit next to the second prettiest girl in the class.

The girl was originally first in the class, but now that Haiyin has arrived, she has naturally become second.

Soon after, Haiyin's outstanding appearance attracted the admiration of some young boys.

"Hainin, you're so cute, will you be my girlfriend?"

Many people have asked her this question, but in her eyes, what do a bunch of immature kids know about love? So she found Li Zhu, who was carefree playing marbles with her friends, to be her shield.

"Sorry, I'll only consider dating after I've seen my brother find a girlfriend." Haiyin took Lizhu's hand, her smile as radiant as a flower.

"Right, little brother?"

Please help me reject them.

When her hand was suddenly squeezed hard, Li Zhu, who was thinking about marbles, came back to her senses, looked at her in pain, but dared not show anything.

"Yeah, I won't find a girlfriend so quickly. I want to wait until my sister finds happiness before I look for one."

"This child is teachable," Haiyin nodded in satisfaction.

Both of them successfully graduated from primary school.

During this time, amidst the astonishment and confusion of everyone at the welfare home, Haiyin happily celebrated her ninth birthday, even surprising the doctors who marveled at it as a medical miracle.

After entering junior high school, Li Zhu became noticeably more rebellious.

"Ah, that probably won't work. My sister said she'll only start dating after I get married." Li Zhu habitually rejected those bastards who had designs on her older sister.

"Sorry, that might not work. My younger brother is still young. When Mom entrusted him to me, she said he couldn't have a relationship too early." Haiyin stopped all the little cats trying to sneak past her.

This resulted in the entire grade knowing, to some extent, that there was a handsome guy named Li Zhu and a beautiful girl named Hai Yin, but for three whole years, not a single girl (boy) confessed her feelings to him (her).

However, life is not always smooth sailing, and disagreements and clashes are inevitable.

After all, the adventurous and freedom-loving nature of young boys is suppressed under Haiyin's meticulous care, but since these are the words of his most respected sister Haiyin, he cannot disobey.

Thus, the conflict remained buried deep in his heart.

It wasn't until graduation.

"I don't want to stay in this high school. I want to go out and see the world, to go somewhere far away."

"No, you have to listen to me. You have to apply to this high school. It's not far from the orphanage, and the teaching quality is no worse than those in other places..."

The voice just fell.

"I'll listen to you on this and that. Can't you just let me make my own decision? What's so good about staying in this small place? The orphanage isn't our home. We might as well go to school there."

Li Zhu was getting impatient, no, extremely impatient. The control he had always been under made him feel embarrassed. His classmates privately said that he was a spoiled brat who only followed his sister around and didn't act like a man at all.

Yet, there's no way to refute it.

"Do you hate your sister?" Haiyin was startled by Lizhu's sudden shout and almost stammered out the words.

"I……"

This was the first time Li Zhu had ever seen Haiyin Sister look so sad. She looked like a withered little flower, no matter how she bloomed, it was always bitter.

"No, I just hope that Sister Haiyin can give me some freedom of choice, is that okay?" Realizing something was wrong, Li Zhu hurriedly explained.

"...Alright, that proves Li Zhu has grown up. This time, I'll apply to a top local high school. You can choose which high school you want to apply to this time." Anyone could hear the deep disappointment and anticipation in Hai Yin's words.

But Li Zhu insisted on applying to a high school in another city.

In the photo of the celebration banquet with the teachers from the welfare home and Sister Haiyin, everyone was smiling brightly except for Haiyin, who looked a little forced.

"Hey, you idiot, can't you understand Sister Haiyin's hint?!"

Li Zhu slapped his thigh, furious, wishing he could do it himself; if it were him, he would have chosen to stay.

"Why are you so anxious when others aren't in a hurry?" Qianhua teased.

"You don't know anything!" Li Zhu retorted without turning her head.

Li Zhu both hoped that the following plot would unfold as he wished, yet he also didn't want it to. These contradictory thoughts swirled in his mind.

"Luckily, we're in the same high school now..." Qin Yin glanced at Li Zhu's annoyed profile and suddenly said something out of the blue.

Unfortunately, no one heard it clearly.

After we went to different high schools, it didn't seem like there were any problems, except that we went from seeing each other every day to seeing each other once a month.

"How are things? Are you settling in alright?"

"Yeah, it's great. I've made a lot of friends."

There were so many similar conversations that it became routine, which led to a significant decrease in the siblings' actual conversations.

But none of that matters.

Until one day, Li Zhu brought a very beautiful girl back to see her, saying that she was her new girlfriend from high school.

Despite it being a long-awaited reunion, Haiyin's eager anticipation was shattered. She stood there blankly, staring at the two holding hands, her mind blank, a long-lost burning sensation rising in her heart like a gecko climbing up.

That day, Li Zhu smiled and said a lot of things. Hai Yin nodded, her face with a stiff smile, but she couldn't hear anything.

"Ugh……"

Even after watching it again, Li Zhu still couldn't bear to watch it. Often, the perspective from God's point of view makes things clearer and more understandable.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is so melodramatic. There's no way such an outrageous thing could happen in real life." Qianhua curled her lips, thinking that the screenwriter had a really bad sense of humor, creating plot twists just for the sake of plot twists.

Li Zhu listened in silence; reality was far more dramatic than this.

In the dimly lit screening room, Qin Yin shed two streams of tears, completely unaware of it herself.

After Li Zhu left, it snowed heavily that night, and the bright moonlight shone down. The deity, who had been away for ten years, arrived as scheduled.

At this moment, Haiyin was opening her diary, crying and laughing at the same time, large tears sliding down her slightly immature handwriting.

With only ten years to live, she didn't want to waste a single minute. She wrote down ninety-nine things she wanted to do, and looking back, every page was filled with those things she wanted to do with Li Zhu.

"Ten years have passed, and I've taken your heart."

"But I'm still not reconciled."

"I'm so unwilling to die like this. So many people hate me, so many people have abandoned me. The snow in this world is so cold. The only one who doesn't hate me, I'm leaving him. What kind of logic is this? Why? You are a god, tell me, how can I... how can I..."

"Sorry, you should go now."

At seven o'clock in the morning, people found Xiao Haiyin in the ward, her tear stains still wet. Her hand was tightly clutching her heart, and she left us forever.

"Alas, poor little Haiyin still couldn't make it through the winter."

The film abruptly ended amidst sighs from the audience.

It turns out that ten years ago, Haiyin had already died of a heart attack. The gods were nothing more than a beautiful dream created by a little girl's match.

Even after the final curtain call, people remained seated, their faces filled with astonishment, still reeling from the dramatic twist at the end of the film.

Before people could even react, there was a surprise at the end:

Amidst a cute and romantic melody, a pair of slender, fair hands slowly turned the pages of the notebook on the table.

1. Hold hands with Li Zhu and cross the street. (Completed)

2. Wear matching outfits with Li Zhu and go shopping. (Completed)

3. Go to the temple to pray for blessings with Li Zhu during the Lunar New Year. (Completed)

Hmm, this seems too easy. It would be more interesting to experience something more challenging together.

4. Invite Li Zhu to a concert by his favorite singer. (So expensive! Looks like I'll have to save up slowly.)

P.S. (New handwriting): Ahhh, Li Zhu's favorite singer announced that they will no longer hold concerts. They finally managed to scrape together enough money!

It's time-consuming, laborious, and thankless; it's definitely better to keep things simple.

5. Go to the amusement park with Li Zhu, and then ride the Ferris wheel. (Completed)

I took a lot of photos, and the money I saved up for the tickets was used up on this trip. It wasn't bad at all.

6. Go to the church with Li Zhu to watch someone else's wedding. (Completed)

Unfortunately, I was discovered and kicked out after only watching for a short while. I was so eager to see what weddings were like (frustrating).

7. I want to take a spontaneous trip with Li Zhu. (Tentative)

It's been quite popular lately, but unfortunately I don't have the money, and my studies are more important. Hmm, I'll think about it later.

8. Spend some time at the bookstore with Li Zhu. (Completed)

9. Write a letter to each other together with Li Zhu. (Completed)
