“Young lady, the car that drove past…”

“…”

Xing Jiuan froze for a moment and turned to look.

The car that had stopped earlier had started again.

She saw a familiar man in the driver’s seat.

Madness filled his eyes.

This time, Xing Jiuan couldn’t avoid it.

She watched helplessly as the car sped up and ran her over. Her organs seemed to have shifted when she fell to the ground, yet she was still holding on to her phone tightly.

Her phone had a protective case. Even after falling to the ground, it didn’t break. In fact, she was still on the line.

The man’s anxious voice could be heard from the phone as he kept shouting Xing Jiuan’s name.

Xing Jiuan’s vision was a little blurry, and the intense pain she felt made it almost impossible for her to breathe. Under such unbearable pain, Xing Jiuan was still able to get distracted, thinking that it would have been better if she hadn’t called her senior brother.

Senior Brother would probably be… very sad because of her death.

The impact from earlier was immense. Xing Jiuan opened her mouth in an attempt to respond to the anxious person on the phone. However, the moment she opened her mouth, blood flowed out of it.

She didn’t like its taste.

To one side, things seemed to be very chaotic. Someone said they should call the police while someone else said they should call an ambulance. There was a woman screaming, a child crying… It was so chaotic, but Xing Jiuan could only watch the blurry scene as if they were acting in a mime show.

She could no longer hold on to her cell phone. It slipped out of her hand. Xing Jiuan did not know if the call had been hung up, nor what her senior brother’s answer was…

Her vision slowly turned pitch-black, and her surroundings went silent. Xing Jiuan, who had once been doted on by many, had wanted to see fireworks in this human world on her 21st birthday. In the end, she died by the roadside under the night sky.

Alone.

When she woke up again, Xing Jiuan’s head hurt.

There were some gaps in her memory. She still remembered when she was eating cake at home.
