Chapter 1: From today on, the dream of hope

——Death is inevitable. You will die, I will die, and everyone will die sooner or later.

Before the operation, for some reason, a girl in a wheelchair kept thinking about the words from the movie "Battleship" that she had watched as a child.

But if we were to ask whether she was born to be so pessimistic, it would not be entirely true.

If evaluated by her attending physician.

She is an outstanding girl born in an unremarkable family.

But unfortunately, regardless of whether she was outstanding or not, today was probably the day she would die. Her body, ravaged by illness, was like a candle in the wind. Her parents left her alone after signing the surgery agreement, probably because they also hoped that she would be free from the complicated feelings.

But, perhaps it was God’s mercy, or the devil’s joke, before being pushed onto the operating table, she was given a unique chance.

A voice in her head told her that as long as she could complete the other party's game, go to another world and play the role of someone else's childhood sweetheart, leaving them with precious childhood memories, allowing them to change their original life trajectory, and then regret it for the rest of their lives, she could get a chance to start her life over again!

There was absolutely no logic to it, and she had no idea why she was chosen, but she still agreed.

Because I want to live...

Even if it was just a self-deceiving illusion, she longed to stand up and run again, return to society, make close friends and live a complete life, instead of just lingering on in a hospital bed all day.

Here, when I opened my eyes again——

Mond.

Cathedral Medical Center.

Dusk time.

The church's unique calming incense floats in the air, soothing the patient's emotions. After a night of dry lips, they crave moisture, and all the senses are so fresh.

His sick body seemed to come back to life at this moment. Although his limbs were still weak and frail, it was much better than before when he had to use all his strength just to move his head.

The moment the girl became excited, her lungs felt like they were burning, making her throat dry and itchy, causing her to cough.

It was not until she stopped coughing that she realized she had sat up without knowing it.

How can this be?

It was also at this time that the girl discovered the ageing of her hands and feet, and why the objects around her looked so extra large.

Have you turned into a child?

She was wearing a white dress, with her arms and calves covered in bandages, and when you touched her cheeks you could feel that they were round but not skinny.

Although there are many changes in the sensory organs, the fact that the legs cannot move has been "well" retained.

She gently stroked her thigh, but could not feel any sensation from her leg, as if any nerve signals transmitted there were swallowed up.

Even if you touch or knead it with your hands, you can't get any feedback.

If you try pinching other places, you will feel obvious pain, especially the back of your head. I have been feeling a faint burning sensation since I woke up, and I can feel an obvious bump and pain when I touch it.

But it's so swollen, if it doesn't hurt, it will feel more dangerous.

She had a general idea of ​​her physical condition, and at the same time, the voice in her head fed her all the information she needed to know.

It wasn't the splitting headache I'd experienced in novels, movies, and TV dramas before. Maybe it's because children have very little memory, so only a few splashes of water occurred and then disappeared naturally.

Her current name is -

"Youya?"

The door of the ward was pushed open, and at the same time a little girl with blue hair was surprised to see her wake up.

She trotted in, her hair was a light blue like waves, almost the same color as Youya's.

When she blinked, he had already rushed to her bedside, holding her slender hand tightly, and his beautiful eyes like the afterglow of the sunset showed no concealment of worry. The precious emotion he treated as a loved one was expressed through the most direct physical contact.

"You finally woke up!"

The little girl in front of him also had some visible redness and swelling on her cute and tender cheeks.

"Ah, um... Sister Eula, are you hurt?"

The girl, or rather Yuya, asked.

Just like the age of the body, it was a childish, cute voice like a lark. However, the tone was flat because the original body had to suppress emotions for many years.

"I'm fine. It's just a 'medal' left over from teaching those bastards who bullied you a lesson!"

Eula raised her face slightly proudly, as if she had her own unique understanding of "a knight's scar is the medal of bravery".

However, she soon turned into a worried expression, touching the bandages on her thin body and frowning as if she felt the same way.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get there sooner."

The scarred girl in front of her was her cousin, Youya. She was as fragile and cute as her name, and she usually spoke softly and was full of empathy.

The two were peers who met each other at a family banquet. When the adults were chatting about each other's children as if showing off commodities, she saw her hiding in the corner, reading a book quietly.

Even though they were seldom together, her memory was always filled with the image of the other person, the girl who always looked at her with such longing eyes.

At first, she thought it was envy of her status as Lawrence's eldest daughter. But after trying to get to know her more deeply, she realized... that longing was just a dream-like yearning.

Unlike herself who is healthy and well-cared for, sister Yuya is not only weak and sickly, but also suffers from an incurable congenital disease and cannot even walk alone. She is regarded as a "bad omen" by the adults in the family.

The elders in the clan did not pay enough attention to him, and because of the bad reputation of the old nobility, he was despised and shunned by the ordinary people in Mondstadt. Not only was he often teased and bullied by children of the same age, he was also always injured.

This time was no exception. She was not good at refusing, nor was she able to refuse, so she was taken to a remote place by other bad older children and was asked to play the role of Lawrence, the old nobleman in the Mond story, while the others were the "freedom fighters" who overthrew the tyranny of old Mond.

When Eula, who learned about this, arrived, Youya was already unconscious on the side of the road, her wheelchair had been pushed over, and she looked extremely miserable.

This also made her so angry...

In Eula's opinion, the bullies neither understood the true meaning of Vanessa's story nor understood what a fighter was. They were just imitating adults and bullying the despised Lawrence family.

Because this is correct, and it is an excuse that can justify any violent remarks or malicious actions.

Adults with adults, children with children.

Just a glimpse of the innocent malice is enough to turn another innocent child into a rag doll.

And naturally she would retaliate. It was a habit, a signal, and a shield.

"I'm fine, thank you for venting my anger for me."

Youya reached out and held her hand, her face reflected in her eyes, and she stared at it closely as if she wanted to remember it clearly.

"Sister Eula is like a knight."

Eula, who was praised by her, was just slightly stunned, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. Instead, she stood up and gently put her hands on her head and rubbed it.

"In that case, Yuya is the family I want to protect."

Perhaps because God took away so many things from cousin Youya, he also gave her the only mercy.

When she first met her cousin Yuya, Youla even doubted whether her eyes were deceived and mistook the fairy who fell into the mortal world for a disgusting tribe member.

As the Lawrence family is in decline but still has enough aristocratic background, the eldest daughter Eula has developed a very high aesthetic sense under the cultivation of the family teacher since childhood. When she saw the other party, she couldn't help but marvel at the childish beauty.

She had delicate and fair skin, colorful wavy hair that covered her eyes, and eyes as bright and pure as sea pearls, which had not darkened due to illness. The teardrop mole under her left eye made her beauty even more extraordinary.

If it weren't for her immobile legs and frail body, she would have been trained by her family to be like her arch-enemy in her growth process, to motivate her to make progress.

But it is both unfortunate and fortunate that the other party does not have to live a life arranged like that.

It was also from that time that she had been secretly paying attention to the other person.

Of course, it's not just her cute appearance that's enough to impress her. On top of that, she also has a certain dangerous aura that seems to be able to evoke people's deepest emotions.

My love for her will float silently into my heart like the wind flowers blooming all over the field.

The hatred towards her accumulated silently like a quagmire, and at any time it could turn into ugliness that would devour the flower.

This is her cousin, Youya Lawrence.

A wonderful girl born in a not-so-wonderful family.

Chapter 2 Sweet candy, feel happiness

Youya was gently twisting her slightly long bangs that covered her eyes, hesitating whether to cut them off. Her hair was a little thicker than other children of her age, and if she took care of it carefully, she would look more sunny and lively.

The wavy-colored hair was scattered on the shoulders, and the hair on both sides of the dimples was tied up on one side, while the other side was left hanging naturally.

Judging from her appearance, she is undoubtedly a little beauty.

Although his body is weak due to long-term bullying and his sickly nature, his calves are so thin that one wonders if they will break at a touch, and the purple meridians at his ankles further give him a feeling of fragility that makes people want to protect him.

Of course, for some groups, it can also be sadism...

After thinking about it for a while, the girl decided it would be better to keep things as they were.

The proof that these girls named Youya were once alive should never be erased.

It is undeniable that after opening her eyes, she had various concerns, such as what would happen to the original owner of the body after she took over the body?

But judging from the information given by Mr. Voice, the poor little girl didn't get to wait for Eula after all.

Moreover, even if she survived this time, according to what Mr. Voice said, she would not live past the summer when she turns eight next year.

She would either die from the increasingly severe bullying of her peers or from an incurable congenital disease.

Even if the owner of this body changes to her, nothing will change, and there is no right to choose...

She stared out the window, confused about her future.

No, now we need to put aside all the complicated and trivial thoughts and make the mission goal the first priority.

She is now seven years old, and is less than a year away from her scheduled death at the age of eight.

During this period, as long as nothing unexpected happens, she should have enough time to build a good relationship with the target of the mission and leave the other party with "memories" that can be called precious.

As a "benefit" for beginners, among the five mission targets of this trip, one of them, Sister Eula, only needs to get along normally to meet the requirements.

The remaining four targets are Gunhild's sisters, Jyn and Barbara (whose parents are divorced and whose surname is Paige's); Diluk of the Leggenfend family; and Kaeya of Alberich.

Judging from their bloodline or status, they are basically all aristocrats...but it is unclear what the purpose is.

She had to at least become friends with these four people in order to complete the mission. Otherwise, every time she missed a person, her physical condition would worsen during the next mission.

The possible strategy options that originally existed turned into a slow death that required one to stay in the hospital for recuperation due to a serious illness.

That way, with only two worlds to spare, even if she failed completely, her consciousness would return to the doomed operating table.

Therefore, you must make contact with other people as soon as possible while your physical condition is still relatively "good" and establish friendly and intimate relationships with them.

Moreover, in addition to this... they will actually be made to regret for the rest of their lives.

If it was just a friend who passed away in childhood, maybe I would feel sad when I think of him, but I certainly wouldn't regret it for the rest of my life...

But not all of these five people are the second-generation Ms. Enka, and even if they were, it would take a lot of effort...

Therefore, she must implement certain targeted strategies.

Perhaps it is not impossible to rely on what I learned from watching various movies, novels, and science channels when I was bedridden in the past.

However, the voice that allowed her to get another chance in this way was probably also a devil.

And she was nothing more than a puppet dancing in the hands of the devil, a despicable person who longed to survive.

- Knock knock.

Just as she was falling into depression, there was a crisp knock on the door.

"...Please come in."

She replied subconsciously, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Before leaving yesterday, Eula said that she would come to visit her again, but unlike her who was not optimistic about her, Eula had the mission of reviving the family and also had the "obligations of a nobleman", and her schoolwork was heavy.

By the time she had time to come, it would be at least in the afternoon. Apart from her, Youya's parents seemed to be far away in Liyue doing business and had not returned.

It seems that her medical expenses were all paid by Sister Eula in her personal capacity. During this time, a relative from the Lawrence clan came to visit her. After putting down a bag of not-so-fresh fruits and giving her a lecture, he said, "Don't be stupid again and hang out with those mudbloods," and then left.

So, it was obviously someone else who came to visit her at this moment.

Although she doesn't know who it will be, it doesn't stop her from looking forward to the changes in the new life.
