Chapter 1 - Life Didn’t End (1/2)

The rain was pouring down, turning the summer afternoon into night’s darkness.

A thin little girl was kicked into the air. Her light body fell into a puddle, twitched twice, then remained motionless.

A man in white pried open the girl’s hand, snatched her tightly grasped Yutian Token and replaced it with a piece of low-grade jade in the breathless girl’s hand. As he walked away, he mumbled “This is the Golden Hairpin Ceremony’s gift you received today!”

After the person left, there was a faint white light in the puddle, and the little girl who had already lost her breath suddenly opened her eyes.

In the heavy rain, a middle-aged man staggered and ran over. When he found the little girl on the ground, his eyes widened and he threw away the wine jug in his hands, trembling slightly as he held the little girl.

“Yan’er……”

His voice hoarse and trembling, clouded eyes flashed a touch of heartache, and holding his injured daughter, quickly ran up.

In eleven years, he had never run so fast, never so eagerly.

An hour later, an old doctor pronounced the little girl’s death, “Ming Lang, WuYan, this child broke ribs four and because of the rain, developed a fever. Her temperature is too high, plus her body is weak. I’m afraid she won’t live past tonight.”

“Old doctor, please save my Yan’er, I beg you.” He knelt on the ground, eyes full of panic and fear.

He knew he was not a good father. Drinking every day, he never cared about Yan’er. Had he known, he would have gone out with her.
