at the same time.

On the other side of the city, in an old and dilapidated neighborhood, Xiaomei was busy in her small, dimly lit kitchen.

The vegetables simmering in the pot emitted a faint aroma, and on the plate beside them were several pieces of sliced ​​tofu, along with some scrambled eggs. This was the family's dinner for the evening.

Xiao Mei was thin and frail. Her clothes were faded from washing, and her hair was casually tied back. A few strands of hair drooped down her cheeks, making her look particularly haggard.

"Grandma, Dad, dinner's ready! Time to eat!" Xiaomei shouted at the top of her lungs.

After a while.

The door to the room slowly opened, and Dad and Grandma came out.

The young and handsome father and the well-maintained, good-looking father

Mei Nai was very young, wearing a slightly revealing nightgown, her hair was a little messy, and her face still had a lingering blush.

The handsome dad is also young, wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts, with a hint of laziness in his eyes.

Judging from their expressions and actions, anyone could guess what they had just done in the room.

When Xiaomei saw this, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head and silently set out the bowls and chopsticks.

In this family, she had long been accustomed to this twisted relationship. Her father's domestic violence and her grandmother's malice were like two mountains, making it hard for her to breathe.

But in order to survive, she had no choice but to endure it silently.

The family sat around the square dining table.

The two of them seemed to be in a good mood.

Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece of tofu and tried to put it into her bowl.

"Snapped!"

Mei Nai slapped Xiao Mei's hand hard, sending the chopsticks flying and the tofu falling to the ground.

"You little slut, who told you to pick it up? This tofu is so expensive, how could you possibly eat it!" the beautiful woman cursed viciously.

Xiao Mei gritted her teeth and endured it silently as she picked up her chopsticks with her head down.

Suddenly, the father's expression changed, and he covered his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The bright red blood splattered on the dining table, looking particularly glaring.

"Ah Che, what's wrong?" Mei Nai stood up in a panic, wanting to check on him.

However, before she could even stand up straight, she suddenly started coughing.

Immediately afterwards, a mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth and landed on her father.

Xiao Mei stared in horror at the scene before her, the bowl and chopsticks in her hands falling to the ground with a clatter.

Her eyes widened as she watched her father and grandmother's bodies convulse, blood gushing from their mouths and nostrils, quickly staining the ground in front of them red.

"They're dead...they're dead..."

Xiao Mei muttered to herself, the fear in her eyes gradually being replaced by a complex emotion.

At first, I was shocked.

Then, a barely perceptible sense of pleasure slowly crept onto her face.

The resentment that had been building up in his heart for years surged out like a flood bursting its banks at this moment.

"Good riddance! Karma is just what it's supposed to be!"

Xiao Mei couldn't help but chuckle softly. The laughter echoed in the quiet room, carrying a hint of eeriness and unease.

However, before she could be smug for long, she suddenly felt a strong wave of nausea wash over her.

She covered her mouth, trying to hold it in, but it was too late; a mouthful of blood spurted from between her fingers.

Xiao Mei stared in horror at the blood on her hands, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She tried to call for help, but it felt like an invisible hand was gripping her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Mei's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Her vision gradually blurred as images of her short and tragic life surfaced in her mind.

Since childhood.

She lived under the abuse of her father and the harassment of her grandmother, and never felt the warmth of a family.

To escape this terrible family, she worked hard and finally got into university, where she became roommates with Lin Ke.

Lin Ke's privileged lifestyle made her the object of everyone's admiration, and the seeds of jealousy began to sprout in her heart.

This is not fair!

She is the green leaf, the backdrop for her.

Why should we give her alms?

By chance, Xiaomei met a mysterious man—

Wearing a mask and a cloak.

The man told her that as long as she followed his instructions and cast a substitution spell on Lin Ke, she could transfer everything Lin Ke owned to herself.

Blinded by greed and jealousy, Xiaomei agreed without hesitation.

She secretly collected Lin Ke's birth date and time, and according to the man's request, made a substitute and cast a vicious curse on her.

But she never expected that her grandmother and father would find out halfway through.

They stole her opportunity.

When they grew younger, Xiaomei realized that the mysterious man had lied to her.

She can never become Lin Ke.

But seeing her aged face, her heart was filled with joy.

The shadow of death loomed over Xiaomei. Her heart was filled with regret. She wanted to struggle and live, but her body grew colder and colder, and her consciousness gradually faded away.

In the moment when Xiaomei's life was about to be extinguished, she seemed to see Lin Ke's face, a face full of kindness.

The welcome party on the university campus was a lively affair, with students dressed in brand-new, fashionable clothes and filled with laughter and joy.

But Xiaomei was out of place. Her faded and outdated clothes instantly became a laughing stock among some of her classmates.

"Look at her clothes, she looks like she traveled from the last century."

"Exactly, they probably haven't seen anything good before."

The whispered jeers, like needles, pierced Xiaomei.

From then on, isolation and exclusion followed her like a shadow.

During group discussions, no one wanted to be in her group; during group activities, she was always forgotten in a corner.

During a physical education class, the teacher organized a basketball game. The students quickly paired up, but Xiaomei stood alone on the side.

Several classmates who usually loved to play pranks exchanged glances and then revealed malicious smiles.

During the game, they deliberately threw the ball at Xiaomei with force. Caught off guard, Xiaomei was hit squarely, staggered and fell to the ground, scraping her knee and drawing blood.

A burst of laughter erupted around them, but no one stepped forward to help him up.

Just as Xiao Mei was feeling wronged and her eyes were red, Lin Ke appeared.

She pushed through the crowd, quickly walked to Xiaomei's side, and reached out her hand without hesitation.

That hand seemed to radiate a warm light in the sunlight.

The last moment of life.

She finally understood that some things can never be obtained through improper means.

And he himself paid the price with his life for that moment of greed and jealousy.

As Xiaomei exhaled her last breath.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Three corpses lay on the ground, blood spreading across the floor, forming a horrifying pool of blood.

Outside the window, the wind howled, making the window rattle as if lamenting the tragedy caused by greed and resentment.
