The old lady respected Yu Yi's choice, with a hint of frustration in her expression, but more of helplessness. She looked down at the document again, picked up the ink pen on the table, and signed it.

"Yuyi."

After handing the document to Yu Yi, he patted her head and said earnestly:

“Many things cannot be changed by hard work. Don’t always force yourself. Try to rely on others.”

"I..."

Faced with the old lady's gentle kindness, Yu Yi's heart was shaken, her eyes moistened, and she wanted to tell her about her troubles.

But she didn't do that in the end.

"I will take care of myself."

Yu Yi hugged the documents tightly in her arms, nodded solemnly, and stood up to leave.

"Yuyi, are you leaving so soon?"

Sister Chai noticed Yu Yi preparing to leave and asked while tilting her head.

"Ah."

"At least eat the cake before you leave."

“Thank you, I’ll take it home to eat…”

"and many more..."

Sister Chai noticed that something was wrong with Yu Yi, and she stood in front of the door and asked in a worried tone:

"Did something happen? Did you have a fight with your classmates?"

"No."

"Don't keep it in your heart, tell me."

Yu Yi shook her head, clenched the cake and documents in her hands, and responded with a smile:

"Really not. Thank you for your concern, Sister Leopard. I'm fine."

In a blink of an eye, Yu Yi left the warm house and walked towards the dark corridor.

"She wasn't like this before..."

Sister Leopard stayed where she was, watching her leave and sighing softly.

In her memory, the timid Yu Yi who always stuck to her and called her "Sister, Sister" was very straightforward and cute.

But, when did she start to smile like crying?

..

..

..

"Boom!"

Return to an empty home.

Yu Yi placed the cake and documents on the table, bathing in the cold moonlight.

"Everyone... is so gentle..."

She gently stroked the cold tabletop, staring at the cake that looked out of place with the surroundings, and sighed softly.

Sometimes, Yuyi feels like a slug.

Unable to stay in a bright place, unable to accept the warmth from others.

Hiding alone in a dark corner, I feel safe.

She is afraid of being treated gently...

Because the person who once treated her gently has left.

She didn't want to experience this feeling again.

As long as you don’t “gain”, you won’t lose.

"Tomorrow, we need to prepare a return gift."

Yuyi lay on the table, looking at the cream in the cake that was about to melt, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

transaction.

This is a deal.

As long as you understand it this way, you won’t feel like you owe the other person.

But...

How can we return the kindness to the other person in equal measure?

Yu Yi is not sure.

"Maybe, after making friends, I'll slowly understand."

She glanced at the signature on the document, held it in her arms, and couldn't help but smile.

She believed that as long as she skipped a grade and entered a new class, she could live a brand new life.

But...

She was totally wrong.

..

..

The new semester has begun.

After school, in the empty classroom, Yu Yi was alone with a broom, cleaning the floor.

same.

Nothing has changed.

She thought that after skipping a grade, she would be with more "mature" students and would no longer have "childish" fights.

The result is still the same.

There are still people who don’t hand in their homework, there are still people who shirk responsibility, there are still people who form cliques, and there are still people who whisper to each other.

Even more serious.

Yu Yi, who entered the class as a "genius skipping student", became an outlier in the class from the very beginning.

She tried hard.

As a result, she found that she and her classmates had no common topics at all and had no way to fit in.

Gradually, she understood a truth.

What needs to be changed may not be the environment, but yourself.

She was too "serious".

In this world, most people live "freely" instead of being tense all the time like her.

Yu Yi wants to change.

But she didn't know what to do.

She couldn't understand what the other person was saying, couldn't understand what was so interesting about these things, and didn't have the courage to ask the other person.

By the time she reacted, she was alone again.

Later, the "falling iron" alarm sounded.

Yu Yi was forced to move out of her old home and lived alone in a single dormitory in the college.

Only after parting with her warm neighbors did she truly realize what loneliness felt like.

Go to school, go home, review, sleep, get up, go to school, go home, review, sleep...

Time seemed to be trapped in an endless loop, and the whole world turned gray and completely lost its color.

"Become an excellent demon..."

The only thing that supports her is the dream she once had.

But...

What happens after the dream comes true?

Will you really feel satisfied if you become an excellent demon?

Is there really any point in continuing to work hard?

Gradually, in the cycle of day after day, Yu Yi became numb.

She closed her heart, like a non-existent ghost, refusing to contact anything around her.

Until...that day comes.

..

Drip...

It was a rainy day.

Yu Yi held an umbrella and walked aimlessly on the street, listening to the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella and feeling the coolness of her shoes soaked by the rain.

She also didn't know what the point of doing this was.

She just didn't want to go back to the dormitory and face the suffocating darkness.

"Tap Tat"

She held an umbrella and strolled through the dark alleys, her shoes and raindrops creating ripples in the puddles.

In the deepest darkness, she encountered a dark figure.

"Is it an abandoned puppy?"

This is what Yu Yi thought at first.

But as she got closer, she finally saw clearly what that figure slumped in the darkness was.

Big sister...

A very beautiful older sister.

She sat helplessly on the ground in the rain, letting the rain wet her hair, her animal ears drooping down, like an abandoned puppy.

Her jet-black hair stuck to her pale skin, and her eyes were closed and unable to open, making her look extremely fragile.

Her clothes and body were soaked. If she continued like this, she would definitely catch a cold.

"Are you OK?"

Stepping over the puddles on the ground, Yu Yi slowly extended the umbrella in her hand so that the other person could also hide under the protection of the umbrella.

"..."

The other party didn't speak.

Her eyelashes, covered with water droplets, trembled slightly. She opened her eyes again, and her blood-red eyes slowly raised, looking over here through her messy hair.

This is...

The scene when Yu Yi and Ye Shi met for the first time.

Chapter 200 Living together

Sometimes, emotions are really strange.

For example, during final exams, when you see children who are more nervous than you, you will become relaxed.

When you visit a haunted house and see children who are more scared than you, your fear will gradually subside.
