Zhou liyue is well known gamer and live streamer in the gaming industry, staying up all night is her daily routine.
Inside a dark room the only source of light is the computer screen that shows screen filled with RPC characters running and hiding, the girl seating infront of the computer is cursing at useless teammates.
In the end, she manage to achieve victory from just one point. But her mood wasn't good, her eyebrows were frowning.
The ongoing live stream is celebrating her victory but just this tough victory is result of her good experience.
But all of her useless teammates are being praised by the people cause of there looks. She is the only girl in the team but she rather had normal face not kind of dazzling one.
She always had been the one carrying the whole team from the competition. She wanted to just leave them on there own.
But she had signed a contract seven year ago in her first year of highschool. A naive, innocent girl who got tricked by the company.
"At least they pay well, three more year to go" she mutter under her breath and turn off the live stream not interested in those four flirting with girls.
She open her fridge only to see it empty, a heavy sign left her mouth. At first she was about to order take outs.
But she saw that the sky already had brighten outside, she decide to go outside and buy something while taking some fresh air. Since, she had not left her room for weeks now.
She grab her phone and slowly walk out of her apartment building. There's convenience store just down the street only ten minutes walk.
She's dress up in oversized black hoodie and sweat pant, her hair tied up into bun, her face unnaturally pale cause of not being exposed to sunlight for some while.
She reach the store and buy herself her favourite drink and instant noodles to eat, after paying she leave the store.
On her way back there's small kids park where she can see young kids playing on swings and slides.
Suddenly, her eyes saw a child crying under the tree, she look around and notice no one is approaching the child.
"Hey kid, where's your parents" she ask him whole looking around still she didn't find anyone who's can be this boy parents making her frown.
The boy raise her head, his eyes were filled with tear as he spoke "I sneak away from home searching for lily" he lowered his head with guilty conscience.
Her face turn black "kid, that dangerous. How can you sneak away from your house without your parents. What if someone kidnapped you, you will never able to find your parents ever again"
The boy eyes widen as he start panicking, seeing this she sign "who's lily, whom you are looking for" she spoke gently not wanting to scare him more.
"Lily, is stray cat that I found. I came here everyday to play with her but today when I came to play with her. She didn't came to our usual place so I start searching for her. In the end I found her stuck on the tree"
She look up the tree and indeed found a black cat struck on tree. Black line appear on her forehead.
"Why does cat climb on such high tree if they get scared to came down in first place" she grumble while placing her grocery of instant noodles on ground.
"Look out for my stuff" she instructed the boy and quickly climb on the tree pretty easily. When she was young she used to love climbing on trees like money giving headache to her orphanage director.
"Okay, little cat don't be afraid and don't scratch me please. I'm here to help" she carefully move toward the cat.
It's unknown either the cat understand that she is here to help or she's too scared to move but the cat didn't scratch her when she grab it.
As she about to get down maybe it's cause she had stayed up all night or sudden heavy body activity after being layed back for years.
But she start feeling dizzy which result into her losing the grip and falling down. The cat manage to land on ground gracefully.
But she wasn't cat and didn't fall gracefully at all, she fall down heavily on the ground and her head got hit by sharp edge stone.
The little boy panicked and immediately run to get any adult help. By the time he manage to grab some parents from the park.
She already had been bleeding very badly, even though people call ambulance. She didn't make it to the hospital and was declared dead.
Zhou liyue felt terrible headache for quite sometime, when the pain lessen she realise that she in dark and small yet warm and comfortable place.
When she try to move her limps. she can feel her movement restrictions cause of the small space around her.
But what shock her more was she seem to submerged in some kind of liquid but still felt comfortable and had no problems in breathing.
" Xuê líng, you have decided to keep the baby even after we forbid you. Since, decide to choose the baby. You have to leave the xuê clan forever, no matter what happens in future the gate of xuê family will be always closed for you"
A deep yet angry voice can be heard from outside the cozy place and from the words she can tell it's matter of a girl ending up pregnant before marriage resulting into her being kicked out of family.
She felt annoyed what era we are living in. how can they kick out a girl from family just cause she's pregnant before marriage.
She really want to go out and tell the girl if she had decide to raise the child then she should take responsibility without any shame being single mother is nothing to be ashamed of.
Even if she decide to abort the child it's her decision and had nothing to do with her parents if she's not minor.
But the main problem is she don't know how to came out of this small place luckily she's not claustrophobic or else being in such small, dark place she really had died again.
Huh... Wait a minute, Am I Dead?????
