She remembered that she pushed the little girl aside, and her waist hurt so badly that her internal organs seemed to move a bit. A sweet smell came to her throat, and she lost consciousness.

It is said that before people die, the most important people to them will appear in their minds. Life and death can be instantaneous, Xu Jiexing didn't even have time to review her life and died directly.

The screams of the crowd, the crying of children, and the sharp sound of brakes shrouded the dusk after the rain.

...

Xu Jiexing had a dream.

She dreamed that many years ago when her mother had not died of esophageal cancer and her father had not gone bankrupt and not had a stroke. She lead an enviable and affluent life and could pursue her dreams without worries.

She dreamed about the limited edition Barbie doll in her room, the beautiful clothes she made for the doll herself, and the gold award for the youth costume design competition she put on the desk.

She dreamed that she got an offer from the Royal College of Art when she was in her third year of high school. Just when she was happily preparing to go abroad to study in college, her mother found out that she had advanced esophageal cancer.

Her father's venture capital failed, and the loss was more than 10 million. In the end, even the money for her mother's medical treatment was not available. Relatives who had been enthusiastic about them were no one to be seen at the time, including Xu Jia Erbo who tricked her father into venture capital.

Father Xu sold the company's assets to treat her mother's illness. She also gave up going abroad, took the college entrance examination, and was admitted to the art and design university in city B.

But her mother's illness has reached an advanced stage, and no amount of money can save her. Her mother passed away, and her father went bankrupt overnight with increasing white hair. He suffered a sudden stroke and was paralyzed in bed.

That year, Xu Jiexing had just turned eighteen.

Already had to bear all the burdens at home.

She saw herself struggling in the mud when her classmates of similar age faced love, food adventures, and chasing stars, she faced debt collectors, bank loans, and her father's large medical expenses.

She didn't want to give up her dream of becoming a designer and worked while attending school. She felt tired every day, even breathing was difficult.

In the winter of freshman year, she went home an hour late because she had to hand in her design work. The father who was paralyzed in bed wanted to drink water. When struggling to get a glass, he knocked over the boiling water bottle.

When Xu Jiexing returned home, her father fainted with pain and was sent to the hospital. The doctor told her that he was severely scalded.

Xu Jiexing remembers that it snowed that night.

She squatted in the corridor of the hospital, holding a stack of expensive medical bills, and cried silently while covering her face.

She can't hold on.

She feels so tired.

She took the knife from the aunt next door to cut the fruit and decided to find a place where no one was.

There was heavy snow that night, and it was extremely cold. She sat on a cold stone stair, crying and pointing the knife at her heart.

Across the street is a building with a huge LED screen.
