In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

Hongtang's delicate face fell.

Subconsciously, I started checking my measurements and height.

Oops!

Going from a C cup to a B cup is tragic enough, but I never imagined that my height of 168cm with shoes on would now be only 160cm barefoot, and my feet would be half a size smaller.

And her once curvaceous figure, which she achieved through years of taking supplements and consistently exercising, is now completely gone.

All those beautiful underwear, clothes, and shoes I hoarded are now loose and don't fit me well anymore.

This so-called "Medicine Saint" with such a prestigious name but mediocre skills, is probably selling fake medicine! That's really something.

Hongtang's heart was burning with anger.

Oops!

In her anger, she didn't pay attention and squeezed the folding aluminum mirror in her hand so hard that one corner of it was crushed into a ball, and the lens shattered on the ground.

Fortunately, she regained her senses in time and let go, otherwise her hand would have been cut by the shards.

"When did I become so strong?" Although her five senses, such as sight, hearing, and smell, as well as her strength and speed, were several times stronger than those of ordinary people after she gained energy, this was the first time she had ever squeezed metal directly into a ball.

However, she had never done this before, so it's possible that she possesses this ability without realizing it.

[Host, isn't going back to your teenage years a good thing?] The younger sister couldn't understand why Hongtang was angry that she had become younger. Most people would be happy, right? Besides, the host looked very cute when she was young, and she liked it very much.

"Fifteen or sixteen years old, the age of blossoming flowers. But some flowers will bloom, and some flowers will wither."

Hongtang's eyes darkened as nightmarish memories surged forth like a flood, engulfing and swallowing her...

She was sixteen years old that year, just after her birthday, and the next day her parents divorced.

This incident didn't have much of an impact on Hongtang. To her, the word "father" was just a noun; he had almost never appeared in her life.

If she hadn't later wanted to get some hair samples for a paternity test, which led her to shamelessly meet him twice, the two would never have crossed paths in their lives.

But unexpectedly, a week later, her mother died in a car accident while on a business trip out of the province. At that time, there was only a little over a month left before her college entrance examination, and she was living at school.

She didn't receive the news until three days later at her mother's funeral, and she was completely stunned when she heard it.

It was Teacher Gao who helped her with her mother's funeral arrangements; he was her mother's good friend.

If it weren't for the fact that Hongtang needed to attend the funeral, Teacher Gao wouldn't have told her so early so as not to affect her upcoming college entrance exam.

The sudden death of her mother was a devastating blow to Hongtang. Although she was heartbroken, she did not succumb to despair but instead studied even harder for her exams.

My mother is an excellent architect and planner, and she hoped her daughter would also pursue a career in the same field. Fortunately, I have a talent for interior design, which fulfills my mother's wish.

Although she had long known through a paternity test that she was not related to her parents by blood, her mother was genuinely good to her and treated her like her own daughter.

Although her mother is no longer here, she still wants to fulfill her mother's wish, as a way to comfort her mother's spirit in heaven.

So she will cheer up, study hard, and fulfill the shared wish of both mother and daughter.

But then another unexpected event occurred.

A family of three appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be Hongtang's uncle's family. Seeing that she had suddenly lost her mother and her father was not around, they offered to adopt her. However, since they had just arrived in Yangcheng and had nowhere to stay, they wanted to stay at her house.

Hongtang had only met her "father" a few times, let alone this suddenly appearing uncle's family, so she naturally refused. She also understood that the other party saw that she was young and an orphan, inexperienced and easy to fool, and wanted to seize the property left to her by her mother.

What they didn't know was that their mother had made a will on her deathbed, stipulating that she could only fully inherit the house and savings when she turned 20, which meant she would graduate from university. As for the family car, she asked Teacher Gao to sell it to pay for her hospital bills and tuition.

Enraged by his uncle's failed scheme, the family tricked him into going to a heartless orphanage, where he was forced to stay for a week.

Once inside, Hongtang noticed something was amiss.

The children here are frequently beaten and punished, often go hungry and cold, and are not given access to education. Moreover, their heart-wrenching cries can often be heard in the middle of the night.

In order to escape from here as soon as possible, Hongtang deliberately dirtied her clothes and face, pretended to be obedient and well-behaved, and silently looked for an opportunity to escape.

Then one rainy night, the opportunity finally came.

She found a hole at the base of a wall, covered with rubble and weeds. She was able to find this place by following a chubby boy who was always getting beaten up.

The chubby boy looked to be about the same age as her. He was squatting on the ground, digging in the dirt with his bare hands, his fingers bleeding from the effort, but he didn't stop.

Just as Hongtang was about to step forward to help him, the chubby boy stopped. Then, to her astonishment, he nimbly burrowed into the hole, surging forward until his buttocks were quickly stuck.

Isn't this the time for Hongtang to show her strength?

She raised her leg high and kicked the chubby boy in the butt.

"It has good elasticity."

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

"Did you kick me just now?"

"No need to thank me too much, sister!"

Two more voices rang out at the same time.

Having been kicked for no reason, the chubby boy was already angry, and now he was even more enraged by Hong Tang's shameless words, his eyes reddening. "I'm 16 years old this year, my birthday is May 2nd. I'm so fat, I'm definitely older than you. You're not the older sister, you're the younger sister."

"Pfft!" Is this chubby kid stupid? Who thinks they're bigger than others just because they're fat? His words dispelled the bad mood I'd been having for the past few days.

"Little Fatty, listen up. I'm also 16 this year, and my birthday is May 1st. Even though your birthday is only one day younger than mine, a younger brother is still a younger brother, you know?"

"You, you, you..." The chubby boy stammered for a long time, but couldn't come up with a coherent answer.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps and shouts came from behind.

People from the orphanage have come looking for us.

"Come out quickly, they're coming, let's escape together." The chubby boy reached his hand out from the other side of the hole, trying to pull Hongtang along.

But it was too late. Hongtang had already seen several middle-aged men in security guard uniforms behind her, holding electric batons.

She whispered, "Run!" and quickly disappeared into the rainy night.

Hongtang stumbled and ran back to the dormitory prepared for her at the orphanage. There were four bunk beds inside, but she lived alone, so no one would notice her when she returned.

She hadn't expected that those people would find her after only exchanging a few words with the chubby boy. However, given the circumstances, if she had tried to climb out of the hole, she might have been pulled back halfway.

But if they ran back to the orphanage, they wouldn't have seen their own faces, and there would still be room for maneuver. Besides, it was obvious those people were after the chubby boy, so escaping back to the orphanage would be better for both of them.

Sure enough, no one was following him.

After quickly changing her clothes, Hongtang lay down on the bed and curled up under the covers. Her head was spinning, and her whole body was trembling.

They were both soaked by the rain and frightened.

"Click, tap..." The door lock opened!
