Chapter 328: Sadness and Tears Flowing into a River 1
Yi Yao (Feng Xi) silently accepts this series of heartbreaking plot developments. She clearly "sees" the original owner Yi Yao's high school life full of bitterness and helplessness.
Yi Yao was born into a poor family. Her financial constraints often led to her being looked down upon and ignored by her classmates at school. These unfriendly glances were like sharp knives, ruthlessly piercing her already fragile heart. Gradually, she became increasingly withdrawn and isolated.
However, fate seemed to have no intention of letting this poor girl off. Her mother, a masseuse, had contracted an unspeakable illness. When Yi Yao noticed something was wrong with her body, she was filled with fear and helplessness. She mustered the courage to secretly go to the hospital for a checkup, but the moment she received the diagnosis, she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.
Knowing the heavy burden this illness would place on her family, Yi Yao dared not tell her mother the truth. So, she cautiously asked her mother for the medical expenses. However, her mother was puzzled and dissatisfied with her daughter's frequent requests for money. Instead of offering her care and support, she verbally abused her, accusing Yi Yao of being naive and wasting her money.
Desperate, Yi Yao finally opted for surgery at a shabby clinic. She thought her nightmare was finally over, but she never expected her classmate, Tang Xiaomi, to secretly follow her and spread the story throughout the school. Rumors quickly erupted like a torrential downpour, and the entire school looked upon Yi Yao with disdain and disgust. They bullied her recklessly, splashed ink on her, and even called her a "pathogen" to her face.
Faced with such a cruel reality, Yi Yao was powerless to resist, and could only silently endure the pain and humiliation... Their actions were simply outrageous! They squandered the money Yi Yao had saved for her medical treatment, simply to satisfy their appetites and buy delicious cakes. Throughout the story, however, one classmate named Gu Dan stood out. Not only did she never participate in the bullying of Yi Yao, but she also harbored a deep desire to help her. However, when she tried to act, she was ruthlessly blocked and stopped by her classmates. Helplessly, Gu Dan could only stand by and watch Yi Yao suffer these injustices, filled with anger, helplessness, and deep pity.
But just when Yi Yao was in despair, her classmate, Gu Xisen, appeared in her life like a ray of light. Gu Xisen did everything in his power to cheer Yi Yao up, allowing her to temporarily forget the pain and troubles of her life. His caring heart was like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrating the layers of darkness and illuminating Yi Yao's dark world, becoming the most precious light on her path.
But who could have foreseen? The very beam of hope and redemption that seemed to bring Yi Yao would ultimately plunge her into an abyss of no return—hell. Because of a single, inexplicable text message, Yi Yao was once again misunderstood as the murderer of Gu Senxi's sister, Gu Senxiang. Faced with the overwhelming accusations and suspicions, Yi Yao desperately defended herself, but all her efforts fell on deaf ears. No one was willing to believe her innocence. Even Qi Ming, her once-close childhood sweetheart, sided with the majority, concluding that Yi Yao was the culprit.
In this desperate situation, abandoned by everyone, Yi Yao completely lost her trust in and attachment to the world. Her heart was like shattered glass, never to be put back together again. And so, under the cold and ruthless gaze of everyone, Yi Yao stepped step by step towards the turbulent sea and jumped without hesitation...
However, in this deadly atmosphere, only Gu Dan's kind heart remained unchanged. She sincerely wanted to save Yi Yao's life and shouted with all her might, trying to prevent this tragedy from happening. Unfortunately, it was too late...
Yi Yao spent a long time finally digesting all the memories in her mind. Through these memories, she clearly understood the body's owner's deepest and strongest desire: to take her mother out of her current difficult life and live a happy and comfortable life from now on. At the same time, the original owner also longed to bid farewell to her mother's disgraceful job as a masseuse, and through her own hard work, to enter an ideal university and start a new chapter in her life.
Yi Yao frowned slightly and turned to Ling Lingyi beside her and asked, "Could it be that she has never thought of taking revenge on those who bullied her?"
Ling Lingyi shook his head and replied softly, "No, judging by the memories and wishes left by the original owner, she simply hoped that from now on she would never be oppressed or bullied by anyone again."
Upon hearing this answer, Yi Yao fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her head and said with a firm gaze, "However, in my opinion, she does indeed want revenge, but she may believe that it is simply beyond her reach with her current abilities. In that case, let us grant her a completely different and brilliant life! Those who have wantonly insulted and bullied her must be taught a painful lesson! As for her mother, don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of her."
After Yi Yao said this, she suddenly felt a strange and relaxing force surge into her heart, as if her entire body had become lighter. She knew in her heart that this must be a sign of the original owner's approval and consent to what she said.
Yi Yao took a deep breath and tapped the system store icon on the virtual screen before her. As the interface flickered, she quickly found the option for Intermediate Weapon Theory Knowledge and clicked the redemption button without hesitation. Instantly, 300 points were deducted, and a flood of information about weapon theory flooded into her mind.
After absorbing this information, Yi Yao casually pulled a piece of white paper and a black gel pen from her bag. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her thoughts weaving together like ethereal threads. Her pen danced rapidly across the paper, lines and symbols extending and combining, gradually forming a complex and intricate blueprint of a new stealth fighter.
The drawings were densely marked with various principles and formulas, like a maze constructed by wisdom. Every detail was carefully considered, showcasing Yi Yao's remarkable creativity and profound knowledge.
After finishing her drawing, Yi Yao carefully folded it and placed it in an envelope before hurriedly leaving the house. The sunlight shone on her, illuminating her determined steps. Soon, she arrived at a nearby SF Express delivery point.
Entering the store, Yi Yao walked straight to the counter, handed the envelope containing the blueprint to the staff, and paid an expedited fee. She repeatedly urged the staff to deliver this important email to the R&D department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as soon as possible.
After everything was settled, Yi Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, her eyes stumbled across a busy roadside lottery shop. With a sudden impulse, she stepped inside. Standing before the dazzling array of scratch cards, Yi Yao hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding to use her remaining cash to buy a bunch.
The lottery shop owner took the money from Yi Yao with a smile on his face. He expertly selected a scratch card for her and said cheerfully, "Good luck, little girl!"
A sweet smile like a spring flower blossomed on Yi Yao's pretty face, and she said crisply: "Then I'll take advantage of your good wishes, uncle!" Before she finished speaking, she took out a shiny one-yuan coin from her pocket with swift movements, and began to carefully scratch the lottery ticket in her hand without hesitation.
As the thin silver coating was scraped away bit by bit, the first number that caught Yi Yao's eye instantly lit up—a whopping 1000 yuan! The lottery shop owner nearby beamed with joy, praising her, "Oh my, you've got some good luck, little girl! You've got a good start!" Hearing this, Yi Yao smiled slightly, her heart overflowing with joy, but her hands didn't pause as she quickly scratched off the next ticket.
Another surprising event occurred, this time displaying a full 500 yuan! Yi Yao's heartbeat involuntarily quickened. She took a deep breath, calmed her excitement, and continued to concentrate on scratching the lottery. Luck seemed to be on this lovely girl's side, as the next few tickets won 5000 yuan and yuan!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the lottery shop became heated, and people cast envious and amazed glances. However, faced with such an amazing achievement, although the lottery shop owner was secretly surprised, he still followed the rules and readily paid Yi Yao the prize money.
Yi Yao asked softly, "Uncle, could you please give me cash directly?" The lottery shop owner smiled and nodded in agreement. He then turned around, opened the cabinet, counted out a full yuan in cash, and handed it to Yi Yao.
Yi Yao first neatly folded 5000 yuan into her pocket, then carefully stored the remaining yuan in her space. After doing all this, she thanked the lottery shop owner and said goodbye, leaving the shop briskly. If she wasn't afraid of being noticed, she would have taken the gold bars directly from her space and exchanged them for cash. But she couldn't, as it would have suggested something was wrong. Instead, she spent 10 points on the system to exchange for a lucky charm for an hour, then went to the lottery shop to buy lottery tickets. To ensure the money came in normally.
