My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

The next day, after Luo Hanying woke up, she kept chatting with her mother, talking about her childhood and about the love story her mother had told her about her parents.

Looking at her youngest daughter who had escaped death, Luo's mother murmured softly, but couldn't help but choke up.

Luo Mu was such a sensitive and fragile beauty.

Luo Hanying looked at her mother, lowered her eyelids, and fell into deep thought.

It's so realistic. Her responses to past events, her outward personality, and even the little gestures when she cries are exactly the same as her mother's.

How could this not be her mother?

"No, no, I don't believe it..."

Luo Hanying muttered to herself, she didn't believe Ruan Chayan was dead, Ruan Chayan must be in this real and terrifying illusion right now.

Even if she can't get past this illusion, it doesn't matter. Senior Sister Yun said there's no illusion that can't be broken. She won't be afraid, and she can't be afraid.

She couldn't remember the senior's name.

Seeing Luo Hanying like this, Luo's mother burst into tears again. She patted Luo's second aunt's hand and whispered, "Should we go see a doctor again? Little Snowman doesn't seem to be able to accept the death of the Ruan family's child and the fact that she has lost her leg..."

Aunt Luo nodded gently: "You stay here with her and talk to her more. I'll go ask the doctor."

Just as Luo Hanying's mother was about to speak with her again, her phone rang. She picked up the phone and answered it, and Luo Hanying turned to look at her mother.

"What?!" Mother Luo exclaimed incredulously, "What did you say?! Don't joke with me like that!"

Luo Hanying couldn't hear the words on the other end of the phone very clearly; she could only see her mother's stiff expression and panicked eyes.

"It's peacetime! How could he possibly be killed?!"

Luo Hanying was shocked: Sacrifice?! Who sacrificed themselves?! Whose sacrifice would cause Mom to be so shocked?! Dad! Dad sacrificed himself?!

Uncle Luo's voice was filled with grief. He could understand that Luo's mother was unwilling to believe this fact: "The army sent someone to your house once, but since no one was home, they notified me instead."

They say he happened to stumble upon a smuggling case while on a border patrol, and was shot dead by the criminals while helping to crack it...

I know you can't accept it, but Yu Bai...

"Zhuoyun, try to look on the bright side. You still have Xiaoxue to take care of, right?"

Luo's mother didn't know how she hung up the phone. She looked at her daughter, who seemed to have sensed something, and rushed over to hug her, wailing, "Yu Bai, Yu Bai... I knew it, I knew it, you would never retire from the army, I knew this day would come..."

What should we do? What should I and the little snowman do?

Luo Hanying hugged her mother helplessly, completely bewildered.

The patrolling nurse saw that Luo's mother was very emotional and quickly came in to comfort her so as not to affect Luo Hanying's recovery and rest. However, Luo's mother fainted due to excessive grief.

Luo Hanying tried several times to get up and go to her mother's side to keep her company, but her missing leg became the culprit that kept her frozen in place.

She couldn't help but begin to doubt the jumbled thoughts in her mind, wondering what was real and what was fake.

Is Ruan Chayan really dead?

Is her leg really gone?

Did her father, Luo Yubai, really sacrifice himself?

If all of this is true, and there is no Canghai Realm, no system, and no way to be resurrected, what should she do?

Can she face these things more calmly?

In the following days, everyone Luo Hanying met forced a smile, but she couldn't smile at all.

Duan Zhuoyun attempted suicide several times, but ultimately could not be saved.

Her mother committed suicide for love.

Luo Hanying's fears from many years ago have become a reality.

Luo Yubai works away from home for many years and cannot be with Duan Zhuoyun. She worries about her husband's safety, and the sudden arrival of the child adds to her sorrow. The already sentimental Duan Zhuoyun is depressed all day long and suffers from postpartum depression after giving birth to Luo Hanying.

She was always anxious and worried that one day she would receive news of her husband's sacrifice.

She lacked confidence in her own education and feared she couldn't provide Luo Hanying with the best companionship.

Luo Hanying knew from a very young age that she should understand her father’s great love for his country and his mother’s helplessness in the face of life.

Duan Zhuoyun wasn't incapable of being unreasonable and forcing Luo Yubai to return to her family. However, she understood Luo Yubai's thoughts and feelings, and she supported Luo Yubai's work. Yet, this sentiment was entangled with the selfishness that humans cannot avoid, leaving her to destroy herself in this contradiction.

Luo Hanying knew the deep love her parents had for their country and for each other. She wouldn't blame them for any of their decisions. Ultimately, she and they were independent individuals with their own lives, and she could only move forward alone.

Luo Hanying has a maternal uncle and two aunts. She is currently in the hospital and unable to move around easily, so her second aunt's husband and uncle are handling the funeral arrangements for Luo Yubai and Duan Zhuoyun.

Although the two aunts were grieving, they did not show much distress in front of her child.

A few days later, her cousin Li Lanjun from her second aunt's family came to visit her, while her two aunts went home to handle some matters.

Luo Hanying looked at Li Lanjun, whose eyes were red and swollen, and thought she was upset about her family's situation. However, when Li Lanjun set the table for her, she noticed bruises on Li Lanjun's wrists.

Luo Hanying then asked Li Lanjun with concern what had happened. Li Lanjun stammered and finally cried, saying that she had been abused by her husband simply because she couldn't have children.

Luo Hanying looked at her cousin in disbelief, trying to understand how such a thing could still happen in this day and age;

They tried to figure out what Li Lanjun was thinking and why she had never mentioned this to her family.

"Xiaoxue, I know you may not understand why I don't divorce him."

Li Lanjun smiled bitterly, "I just still remember how good he was to me, and I fantasize that our relationship can go back to what it was before..."

Luo Hanying stared in disbelief: "Cousin, you yourself know it's all a fantasy. You, you, how many times has she abused you?!"

Call the police! Get a divorce! It's not like we can't afford a lawyer!

Li Lanjun choked up as she spoke: "I know, I know everything..."

I know what I'm doing is wrong... but I can't bear to..."

Luo Hanying was almost about to say "Are you crazy?" She took the phone, unlocked it, and said, "I'm calling my second aunt right now. Your divorce is urgent."

Li Lanjun dared not touch Luo Hanying's bandaged hand. She carefully tried to stop Luo Hanying's movements, her tone urgent: "No! Don't say it! Please don't say it!"

Zhu Jun's disappearance is already enough of a worry for them! We'll talk about my matter later!

Luo Hanying was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized that she was actually quite good at accepting things.

She looked at the connected page with her right eye, which had only recently died, and her remaining left eye, and put it to her bandaged ear: "Second Aunt, Cousin Zhu Jun has gone missing?"

Luo Yuqing covered her mouth to swallow her sobs and handed her phone to her older sister Luo Yuxia, indicating that she should talk to Luo Hanying.

Luo Yuxia sighed and replied, "Xiaoxue, did Lan Jun let it slip?"

Luo Yuxia's words had already given her a clear answer.
