Chapter 383: Chapter 289 Her Life_2

At first, Xiao Yi was also very interested in this reversed world, where everything moved as if it were running backward, even the words of people had a peculiar and novel quality, sometimes producing utterly hilarious scenes.

But as time wore on, Xiao Yi, who had gradually gotten used to this, lost interest as well.

Moreover, he was alone in the reversed world, unable to connect with anyone. No one could converse with him, no one could see him, he couldn’t even touch non-human objects.

Life, every event and object, changed under the flow of time, while Xiao Yi, stuck in reversal, couldn’t intersect with anything.

He was alone in a world that consisted only of himself, detached from everything.

The pain born from loneliness nearly drove Xiao Yi to despair and breakdown.

But Xiao Yi protected himself through continuous reflection.

"It’s okay, I still have... myself. Entertaining myself, I’ve been good at that since I was a kid!"

Thus, Xiao Yi alone crossed through the long span of time, finally arriving by her side.

Then, Xiao Yi finally understood the story that had always been hers alone, her life...

...

Can one naturally become a parent just by having a child?

The answer to this question is clearly no.

...

Once, there was a very happy family; they owned a huge Western-style mansion passed down through generations, unknowingly believing they could live carefree forever, and so they were very happy.

Soon after, they had a lovely daughter, whom they named... Eve.

They gave all their love to their daughter Eve, hoping she would grow up healthy and carefree.

Their daughter, Eve, also grew healthy in this happy environment until... happiness collapsed.

Because, after all, it was built on fragile past happiness.

The Western-style mansion didn’t bring the expected profits for the couple; on the contrary, excessive and unreasonable taxes suffocated them.

They had previously arranged with the authorities to develop around their estate, for which they had even given up most of their assets to please the officials, which led them to have almost nothing apart from that mansion.

But then, one day, the authorities changed their minds, a reason they never came to know, as they weren’t entitled to know.

No matter how stylish the Western-style mansion was, nobody wanted to visit a place without even a proper road.

Despite their numerous pleas, the authorities never took them seriously.

Then, in their daughter’s eyes, the once harmonious, loving parents suddenly became hostile toward each other.

"If I had known, I would never have married you! If I had been with that young nobleman back then, I would have been successful by now! Why would I need to stay in this godforsaken place with you where I can’t even find a job!"

"Shut up! You damn woman! You followed me like a dog back then just for my property, didn’t you? Shameless!"

Whenever her parents argued, she was frightened, but she would still muster the courage to try and mediate.

Initially, this method was effective, and her parents would quickly stop their arguments, but gradually, as the arguments became more frequent, they started ignoring her.

The pressures of reality wouldn’t change just because of a child’s few comforting words.

They continued to strive, to plead, but nothing changed; the authorities simply had the power to easily determine their lives and fate.

The overwhelming power filled their hearts with gloom, irritation, and resentment, and they had no place to vent. Even though others could easily hurt them, they couldn’t easily hurt others—that was the rule, including between each other.

Thus, with nowhere else to vent, the couple could only argue with each other to release these emotions. But it was confined to that, as no physical harm could occur, because both were adults, each fully aware and entitled to possibly end the other’s life.

Suddenly, one day, when they saw their daughter coming to mediate, a thought suddenly struck both their minds.

Right, don’t we still have our daughter?

A child born into this world because of them, they could make her do anything they want, isn’t this the... right of being a parent?

Then, they simultaneously stopped their quarreling and walked toward their daughter...

Eve was distressed, as her parents were no longer as gentle as they had been before; they used to fear her experiencing any pain, yet now they inexplicably inflicted pain on her.

This made Eve wonder, had she done something wrong? Was that why her parents were punishing her?

So, she brought up this question with her teachers at school, who, filled with a strong sense of justice, did not hesitate and eagerly burst the bubble, proudly proclaiming everything.

Then, Eve inevitably became the outcast of her class, alone, subjected to everyone else’s peculiar stares.

And the only place she could return to, she no longer felt inclined to go back to.

Because her parents also began to resent her for bringing those unrelated outsiders into their home.

"Hey! Those people are here again! The same old child abuse investigation claims, it’s so annoying!"

"That’s why I said we shouldn’t let her go to school! What’s the use besides wasting money!"

"It’s not like I wanted this! Isn’t it mandatory to attend school at her age!?"

"Mandatory! Always mandatory!? Why must we follow these rules!"

"What other option do we have? What can we do but send her to school?"

Suddenly, both parents thought of something and simultaneously turned to look at Eve.

"Eve, you... you’ll be a good, obedient child, right?"

Seeing her parents smile for the first time in a while, Eve also happily nodded vigorously.

"Yes! I will be a good, obedient child!"

Then, Eve... was kidnapped.

Kidnapped by her own parents.

She thus vanished from everywhere but her own home.

Eve’s parents felt a rare sense of relief that they owned such a vast Western-style mansion; hiding a child within was just too easy.

And as the victims, they merely needed to shed a few tears to avoid the kind of righteous criticism they previously faced and even gained sympathy and material support.

They used to despise these do-gooders, and now, they adored them.

In this world, there are still more kind-hearted people.

"..." Confined to a small, dark room, unable to go outside, Eve felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But thinking it was her parents’ command, she had to obey and stay put—it was also quite nice not going to school and being stared at strangely.

"Eve, we love you, so be obedient and stay here, make no noise, okay."

More importantly, her parents would show her that long-lost gentle smile.

Eve felt she was fortunate, so, for continued happiness, she would be a good, obedient child, even though she was somewhat uncomfortable, she would endure!

Occasionally, Eve could hear her parents’ voices outside the door, sorrowfully crying about how their daughter got abducted and pleading for her return at any cost.

Eve found it strange, as she was right there—what were her parents talking about?

However, Eve didn’t think too much about it because she believed her parents loved her and would not harm her, so she had to reciprocate their love.

This life went on indefinitely until one day, when Eve heard footsteps, thinking her parents had come to bring her food, she hurried to the locked door.

But Eve instinctively knew that the person behind the door was not her parents, for they made no move to open it, but just stood there in silence.

Her parents were always too busy to waste time here, so it couldn’t be them.

Therefore, Eve asked the person through the door:

"Who are you?"
