At this time, there was a sound at the door, and Yoko, who had no time to escape, immediately hid under the bed.As soon as she hid in, she found that her sister had also entered the room, as if she was looking for something.

During the flipping process, sister Xiaoxiu accidentally knocked over all the CDs, and at the same time knocked over the vase next to it, causing the water in the vase to spill directly onto her mother's laptop.

This is bad!

Xiaoxiu panicked for a moment. She knew that CDs and laptops were her mother's favorite things. Even if she was loved by her mother, she might be punished.

Thinking of the way her mother beat Yoko, she couldn't help being a little scared, and decided to put all the responsibility on Yoko.

Yoko under the bed witnessed all this, and her heart was full of fear. She knew that Oriko would shirk responsibility to her, and worried that her mother would really kill her.So after Xiaoxiu left, she immediately went to her mother-in-law's house for help, but she got a shocking news.

Yesterday, the owner of the house died of a stroke.

Knowing the news, Yoko couldn't accept it, and she finally burst into tears uncontrollably.This meant that she lost the only person in the world who cared about her.

Crying bitterly, she couldn't help thinking of what Mitsuko told her.

She swore that she must change her destiny.

……

On the way home, Yoko saw her younger sister, Xiaozhu, and mustered up the courage to call out to her: "Did you break mom's computer, mom... I already know that you did it."

"Mom will think you did it. Anyway, you are used to being scolded by your mother, right?"

Xiaozhu glanced at her and answered calmly.

Yoko lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Mom already knew that you did it, yelling loudly that the CDs are placed in a different order."

After hearing these words, Shizuo panicked involuntarily.She didn't know that Yoko had seen everything under the bed and thought her mother knew she had broken the computer.

Yoko walked around her, as if she had made a lot of determination, and proposed that the two exchange identities, and she would be punished instead of her.

Kaneko accepted it as a matter of course.

The two walked to the nearest public restroom and exchanged clothes, and Yoko helped Xiaoshi mess up her hair to her usual look.Xiaoxiu looked at Yoko who was exactly like her, and said, "The exchange of identities is only for tonight."

Then, the two walked downstairs together.

They decided it was rock-paper-scissors to decide who would go upstairs and talk to their mother first.But I don't know if it was because of the tacit understanding between the twins, the two were tied every time, and in the end, Yoko won the game.

Xiaoshi, who was dressed as Yoko, had to go home first, while Yoko was waiting downstairs. She took out the key that Mitsuko's mother-in-law gave her, and looked in the direction of home, full of apprehension.

……

Seeing this, Asano Aiko couldn't help becoming nervous, completely forgetting her original idea of ​​reviewing manuscripts to pick faults.

During the reading process, her whole body's emotions were mobilized.

From the sympathy when she knew Yoko was treated unfairly, to the sadness when she learned of Mitsuko's death, and now the nervousness about the consequences that Xiaoxiu will suffer when she goes home now.

She felt her nerves tense all the time.

Where is the problem with such works?

She was full of doubts in her heart, but she couldn't help turning her hands down.

……

"Bang" sound.

A figure fell from a high altitude and hit the nearby ground heavily.

Yoko hurried forward to have a look, and found that it was Xiaoxiu who fell down. She opened her eyes in horror and fell into a pool of blood, motionless.

She looked at Xiao Zhu's body, and her heart was full of fear and panic!

Although scared, she returned home.

As soon as she got home, her mother looked at Yoko dressed as "Little Jewelry" and asked her to write a suicide note in Yoko's voice.

Mom pretended to be helpless and said that it was Yoko who suddenly climbed up the balcony railing and jumped down, and she couldn't even hold her.

Yoko directly exposed her: "Mom pushed her down."

"Xiaoxiu, are you serious?" Mom responded with a smile, but gradually put away her smile: "Don't say such chilling things."

Yoko glanced at her mother with disappointed eyes, "Yoko likes her mother very much. She keeps saying that she is very similar to her mother."

The mother sitting opposite glanced at her, as if realizing something, she showed a strange expression.

Afterwards, the police came to question them, and they left after a long time.Mom went back to her room to rest, and Yoko also went to Xiaoshi's room.

In the middle of the night, Yoko took the packed luggage, put on her old running shoes, hung the key given to her by Mitsuko's mother-in-law on her chest, and left the house.

She made up her mind to pursue her own life!

……

After reading the full article, Aiko Asano put down the manuscript in her hand, and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with her hand.

Since she joined the publishing house, she has rarely seen such a shocking work, let alone from a newcomer.

The whole story, from the beginning to the end, depicts the different encounters of a pair of sisters in the same situation, as if it happened next door, which is unforgettable.

The abused sister finally used the death of her sister to water the new flowers for herself.

Their mother may also realize that she killed the wrong person, but she didn't express anything.

How should I put it, the ending is too cruel, but so natural.

She took a deep breath, then calmed down, and switched her mind from reader to editor, thinking about whether to accept the manuscript.

This manuscript has already been rejected by "Tokyo Literature and Art", so it's not a big problem if I want to come here, right?

While thinking, she turned to the page of the author's personal information.

[4.Chapter 4 A phone call]

While Asano Aiko was flipping through the manuscript, Akihara Yuto, who had returned home, was a little restless.The success or failure of the submission is related to his subsequent situation, and it is difficult for him to relax.

He was worried for a long time, and felt that entanglement was useless. After all, he had time to think about these messy things, so it was better to make a plan for the next step early.In this way, even if the submission fails, you will not panic immediately.

After making up his mind, he hastily dealt with the dinner with instant noodles, took out the paper and pen again, bit the tip of the pen, and began to think about other ways.

Do you want to submit more than one manuscript?

No!

It is a bit of a taboo in the industry to submit more than one manuscript. This incident will have a great impact on his future.You can't do this kind of thing that is easy to leave a handle for the sake of a temporary predicament.Don't mention that he is just a rookie who hasn't made his debut, and banning him is just a matter of saying hello.
