Chapter 104: Yixin’s childhood memory (Part 1)

Life… There are always so many questions on life.

What is life? What is the value of life? What are we living for? Is life predestined at birth? Who’s actually in control of life?

These questions will probably remain unanswered throughout life.

If I could control my life, I definitely wouldn't have chosen this path. Wait, actually, I’m not sure now that I’ve met Suyang…

But prior to meeting him, I was very certain.

Many years ago, I was my parents’ bundle of joy. The three of us lived happily together.

When did the car accident occur? When I was three or four? My memories were a bit fuzzy. That was the year I lost my parents.

All my concrete memories began when I was living at the orphanage. I remembered the president of the orphanage, the teachers, and the children. I also had a special friend.

I thought the world was like that. There were normal people, and there were some transparent people.

“Why don’t you say anything?” I was building a sand castle as I questioned my friend who was always by my side. “Do you live nearby?”

As usual, she didn’t respond. She silently watched me play.

“Yixin, are you playing by yourself?” A female volunteer came over to chat with me.

“No, I’m not by myself.” I smiled at her as I pointed to my friend. “We’re playing together.”

Although I was a child at the time, I could see the volunteer’s face turning pale. She forced a smile as she trembled. “Yixin, where is your friend?”

“Over here!” Back then, I didn’t understand why people would deny my friend even though she was right in front of them.

Adults were so strange….they would say they don’t see things when it was clearly in front of them.

“Yixin, why don’t we go play with the other children over there?” The volunteer forcefully grabbed my hand and took me away.

I sadly turned to look at my friend. She waved at me.

Based on the colour of the sky, the sun was about to set. She was probably returning home now, right?

“Bye bye! See you tomorrow!” I enthusiastically bid farewell to my friend. When I turned around, the volunteer looked very uncomfortable.

That night....

“Yixin is a very strange child. She keeps pointing to air and saying there’s someone there. Do you think she’s possessed? She could see spirits?” the volunteer muttered as she tidied up the toys.

“Don’t make up stuff. Children just want the attention of adults. It’s not a big deal.”
