Chapter 311: Fall Apart

Sun Zhilan quickly took out the piece of paper. Qin Jiaojiao walked over and snatched it away before pushing it into Qin Yi's hands.

Sun Zhilan's heart was filled with anticipation but did not know this was the last straw that overwhelmed Qin Yi.

"Child, baobao, I am your mother. Follow me home. Mummy will take care of your wounds." Sun Zhilan's eyes were filled with tears that had yet to drop.

She naturally saw Qin Yi's injuries but did not dare to move towards her.

Qin Yi finished reading the piece of paper. The first half was all garbage to her and only the familiar handwriting at the end caused her remaining bit of unyielding determination to disappear as tears started to appear at the corners of her eyes.

Qin Yi's hands relaxed and let the piece of paper fly away like a butterfly.

'Yiyi, Granny let you down. For Jiaojiao, granny made use of you. Please don't blame granny.'

Qin Yi's heart was riddled with questions. 'So, it turns out that everything was a lie. Everything that she had was a lie. What warmth, what sun? All of it was a lie.'

The last string in Qin Yi's mind snapped. She could clearly see the house in her own world crumble, the sunlight having disappeared and everything crumbling to ashes. The beautiful world that she had built up had disappeared.

She was alone inside this dark world. She wished to stop it, but her limbs were stuck and unable to do anything.

Suddenly, the sky became bright again and snow started falling. A familiar door appeared. Qin Yi lowered her head to look and discovered that her body was shrinking. Her limbs had turned small and riddled with scars. She was dressed in thin weather and her arms and legs were tied up. Qin Yi trembled in the cold.

All the familiar scenes where she was treated badly, Qin Yi's eyes reflected loss. 'How did I return here? Is this a dream? Did I go through a rebirth again?'

Snow continued to fall and entered Qin Yi's stomach, causing her to cower back. Her hands were freezing and her feet that did not have shoes on started to swell and resemble steamed buns.

Her stomach started to growl, but her mother continued drinking in the room. While in thought, Wang Santing staggered out. She was beautiful and burped out loud. When she saw Qin Yi staring at her, she suddenly took the stick leaning against the wall.

The little Qin Yi spasmed suddenly as the sturdy stick struck her body and inflicted pain. But Qin Yi remained silent as she looked at Wang Santing with aggrieved eyes. This incited an even more brutal beating.

Qin Yi felt the pain on her own body and felt like dying. In fact, she wanted to die. Dying like this was not too bad.

But she did not die and instead fell into a warm embrace that felt like the sun. She could not help but yearn for it.

"Good child, don't be afraid, I'm here." Qin Yi raised her head and opened her eyes, desiring to find out who the person was. When she saw the familiar face and warm loving eyes that had a smile, Qin Yi finally started crying.

'Granny, I'm in pain. I can feel all the pain in my body, but why is my heart in the most pain?'

Qin Yi wanted to touch her grandmother's face, but the scene suddenly changed again. The sky turned dark and Wang Santing disappeared along with her grandmother.

Qin Yi stood up in a panic. She did not want to be alone; she did not want that. She did not want to be nobody's child. She wanted to be loved.

A heart-wrenching cry of a helpless child sounded out in the darkness.

Chapter 312: I'm You

Qin Yi cried for a very long time. She lifted her head in a daze and suddenly realized that she was no longer a child. She stood up and was surrounded by darkness.

Suddenly, there were some rays of light that appeared. Qin Yi instinctively walked towards it and the closer she got, the brighter the light became, and the darkness gradually faded.

"Qiqi, why are you here? You made me look all over for you." The man's pleasant voice resounded like a cello; it was captivating.

Qin Yi turned around and it was Yun Huan. Yun Huan smiled, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with gentleness and love. He lifted his hand and stroked Qin Yi's hair. "Didn't I tell you not to run around? Why didn't you listen to me, hm?"

Qin Yi lifted her head in confusion and shouted the person's name with uncertainty, "Huan, big brother Huan?"

Yun Huan chuckled. "Why? You can't recognize me? We merely didn't see each other for just a little while. But there's a punishment for not being able to recognize me, oh."

There was a sharp pain on Qin Yi's abdomen and there was a dagger inside her. Fresh blood had stained her clothes red and Qin Yi lifted her head as Yun Huan released the dagger, his fair hands stained with specks of red.

He was still smiling yet it made Qin Yi disappointed and terrified.

Suddenly, a mocking smile appeared on Yun Huan's face. "Idiot, do you really think that I liked you a lot? If not for your usefulness, who would want to be your teammate? You really are clueless, huh?"

Yun Huan took out a towel to wipe his hands in disgust and pushed Qin Yi away. Then, he turned and left without hesitation.

Qin Yi pressed onto her abdomen and fresh blood stained her hand, but she couldn't feel any pain at all. The bright red blood seeped into the ground, and suddenly, many spider lilies began blooming. The intense redness attracted one's attention.

There was a sweet fragrance in the air that assailed her nostrils, yet it had the fishy smell of blood as well.

The flowers bloomed in clusters and danced in the wind.

Qin Yi narrowed her eyes, and a figure became clearer. It had a friendly smile. "Yiyi, come here, let grandma hug you."

Qin Yi didn't move. "You're not her. She's dead."

'Grandma' smiled. "Does it matter whether I'm her or not? I'm giving you warmth here, the warmth you yearned for. Come, follow me, I'll bring you to a warm place. There is no darkness there, only peace and there is a group of people who love you."

'Grandma's' voice was low and kept enticing Qin Yi, then that friendly smile suddenly turned into a vicious smirk.

"They had abandoned you. Yun Huan didn't want you and Grandma was just using you. The one she loved was Qin Jiaojiao. She was nice to you only because of pity just like when you see a stray dog on the streets – she merely pitied you. They treated you this way. Why do you still hold on?"

Qin Yi's heart got pierced instantly. She looked at the person before her and mumbled, "Who are you? Who exactly are you?"

'Grandma' smiled. "I'm you."

The pale elderly suddenly turned into a young lady. Her long black hair that reached the ground was like top-notch silk and it swayed slightly. She had bright phoenix eyes, stunning facial features, crimson red lips, an elegant figure, and was in a long red dress.

The young lady before her looked exactly like the youth, just that her pupils were blood red and there was a blooming red spider lily on her forehead. Qin Yi could even smell that faint fragrance.

The young lady's phoenix eyes lit up and every movement of hers was graceful like her entire being was a blooming red spider lily, full of life.
