Asylum on Earth [Unlimited Stream]

Smart, beautiful, and well-off... Xia You has been labeled many times in his life.It seems that a girl with such a label should not have any troubles, and she will be a winner in life smoothly for a lifetime.

Even the emotional crisis that many wealthy families will encounter, Xia You has never encountered it.Her parents loved each other and loved her very much, and gave her the best care since she was a child.All the friends she made were equally excellent, and she went to the best school. She could play the piano and paint watercolors. She had one-on-one tutoring from foreign teachers since she was a child, and her English was far better than her peers.

It's such a life, Xia You finds it boring.

She has been placed with great expectations. As long as she performs normally, she will definitely be admitted to a first-class university.Her parents never put pressure on her. They said that even if she failed to perform well, they would send her to study abroad.

Her parents were poor and white wage earners in the early years, and later started a business from scratch. They had a lot of luck and accumulated considerable wealth. Since then, they have respected and believed in ghosts and gods.When entering the house, there is a huge statue of Guan Gong. When Xia You was young, there was an emerald Avalokitesvara and Jade Buddha hanging around his neck.

In her opinion, her parents were just caught up in the spring breeze of reform and opening up, and they were hardworking and willing to endure hardships.She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Sometimes when she passes by large and small statues of gods in her house at night, she just feels that those weird sculptures are staring at her.

Those clay and wood sculptures have compassionate eyes and generous, speechless lips.Dead saints are enshrined as gods, and the living pray for blessings from death.

Throughout Xia You's third year of high school, her mother traveled all over the country's major temples, offering countless incense sticks, lighting countless ever-burning lamps, and praying for her.

pressure?Xia You didn't know about that at all.

But she failed the college entrance examination.

She performed perfectly in other subjects, except for the English test. Halfway through the test, she suddenly had a severe stomachache and couldn't even read the questions clearly.Her hand holding the pen was trembling, and the sweat fell drop by drop on the test paper.

"Student, are you alright?" The invigilator's voice seemed to sound from far away.

Xia You shook his head uncomfortably, leaned on the table, gritted his teeth and endured it.

Because English was a drag, she failed the exam.Everyone said it was abdominal cramps caused by too much nervousness, and they lamented that they were overwhelmed by the tension because they were put under too much pressure.

Xia You didn't think so.On the day after the exam, she discovered the cause of her stomach ache - the meal before the exam was carefully prepared by her mother, and the meal and soup were mixed with incense ash from various temples across the country.

The ashes of these gods' blessings entered her stomach, ruining the most important exam in her life.

Normal people will definitely make a big fuss, blame everyone, blame their ignorant mother, lament their fate and so on.

But Xia You didn't.She heard her mother's suppressed crying in the room, and her expression was also faint.Mother didn't know that the ashes she begged caused trouble, she was just crying for her daughter innocently.

It's just a repeat year, and Xia You doesn't know what to be sad about.Entering college or repeating her senior year in high school are equally boring things in her eyes.

Only one thing, death, interested her unduly.

She easily got some religious books, such as Eighteen Hells, Hell Purgatory Heaven, Helm Underworld... She read those things morbidly to make up for her lack of interest in the human world.

And now, she walked up to the roof, stood on the edge of the sixth floor, and collapsed.

Of course she doesn't really want to die, the reason is that the floor here is too low, if she doesn't fall to her death, she doesn't want to be a disabled person for the rest of her life, and she doesn't want to lie on the hospital bed with a tube inserted and listen to her mother crying.

Yang Zaozao screamed and immediately grabbed her hand. Xia You's body was tilted at a 45-degree angle, and half of her body was already stuck out.

Xia You looked up at the vast sky, the wind messed up the clouds and scattered them all over the sky.

"I'm hugging you..." Yang Zao pulled her back and hugged her waist tightly, "Don't die..."

Her voice was trembling and choking, Xia You realized slowly that she actually made people cry.

She found it funny and even laughed out loud.

"Why are you crying?" Xia You climbed over the railing calmly and smiled, "It's not you who died."

Yang Zaozao blushed from crying, "You scared me to death!"

Instead, Xia You wanted to comfort her and pat her on the back.Yang Zaozao didn't let go of his hand, and pulled her to walk in, turning his head while walking, as if worried that she would run away.

They walked into the dark corridor, Xia You said: "Don't tell the teacher what happened today."

Yang Zaozao said "Huh?" Obviously, she didn't think of this.

"Even if you tell others, they won't believe you." In the darkness, the girl's smile made her feel cold.Yang Zaozao subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Xia You held it tightly, "Thank you today—we are friends, Yang Zaozao?"

After going back that day, Yang Zaozao did not mention this matter to anyone.Xia You became interested in her, and quickly found all her information. Her grades were low, her personality was not good, her family conditions were poor, she was not an only child, she had a younger brother, her mother worked in a vegetable market, and her father was a worker in a steel factory.

As if made entirely from the opposite of himself, God actually gives all the good things to one person and all the bad luck to another person.

Xia You followed her and found that she would sit on the bench in the community for an hour every day after school, just to go home late.Her father has been drinking for a long time and is often violent at home. The hysterical quarrel between the couple upstairs can be heard from a long distance away.Xia You also found that Yang Zaozao would steal money from the family - usually only five or ten yuan, and go to the snack bar to buy skewers. This can be called the happiest moment in her life.

Her younger brother learned to fight and smoke early in his studies.Once Yang Zaozao rode his mountain bike out to buy groceries, broke the bike chain, and was beaten by her brother when he went back.A bruise appeared on my face, and it took several days for the swelling to subside.

Yang Zao had told her all this, Xia You became friends with her without any effort.The more she observed her life, the more Xia You couldn't help thinking about a question: Why did Yang Zaozao never have the idea of ​​suicide while living such a life?Didn't she realize that there was an easier path to take?

Hovering on the edge of life and death many times, Xia You did not choose to end her life. She felt that she did not lack determination and courage, but she just didn't want to go to another world alone.She wants a partner.

The feeling of being held by Yang Zaozao's hand stayed in her hand for a long time, like a warm flame burning in her palm.A terrible thought gradually took root and swelled in my heart.

She wanted Yang to die early, and wanted to hold her hand and jump off the stairs together.

Even Xia You began to fear the idea.This is fundamentally different from suicide. She has the right to decide her own life, but not others.

While loathing herself, she took action.

"Early, let's play a game."

Once this step is taken, there is no going back.

"So that's it." Bai Jianxiao pinched the note, and it turned out that the amount of information on this note was extremely large, and even revealed the operating mechanism of the game.

"Xia You and Yang Zaozao played a suicide game," He Huating said, "To put it simply, if something happens that makes them disappointed in life, they should go to the next level. If anything happens in life that makes them happy , just go downstairs."

"The bet is their lives," Bai Jianxiao continued. "The starting point is the first floor. If they went up to the sixth floor together, Yang would have committed suicide with Xia You long ago. If they walked out of the building, then Xia You You must give up the idea of ​​suicide."

"It takes six steps to commit suicide on the rooftop, and only one step to get out of the building. Yang Zaozao must have thought that she had won, so she agreed to such a boring game." Lu Zhiqiong said, "But when she actually agreed to this game, she would Already lost."

For nine out of ten times life is unhappy, and happiness is but the froth on an endless tide of sorrow, and men are often enamored of these phantasms by their multicolored splendor.

"According to the direction of this game, after this agreement, a series of unsatisfactory things did happen. They finally climbed to the sixth floor together. But when they finally jumped down, Yang Zao regretted it." Bai Jianxiao sorted out the bits and pieces of their experience The plot, "Only Xia You jumped down. She couldn't forgive Yang Zaozao, who betrayed her, and vowed to pull her down."

"When I saw it, I was also surprised that such a young girl would have such a terrible idea," He Huating said, "She is an antisocial personality. In fact, no one forced her, but she wanted to pull her. An innocent classmate accompanied her to die!"

"No, she struggled, I can feel it." Bai Jianxiao said, "At least she realized her mental illness and tried to save herself."

"what?"

"Have you read the note in the counseling room?" Bai Jianxiao pointed to one of the notes, "Xia You wanted to go find a psychologist, but she didn't reveal all her secrets immediately, she wrote A letter said that she had suicidal tendencies, and she gave it to the psychology teacher, wanting to test her character. As a result, you also know, she told the head teacher all Xia You's secrets. "

In a girl's small world, ignorant parents can't help and authoritarian teachers can't be trusted.She was extreme, sensitive and proud, and finally chose to follow her heart and let those black vines grow wantonly.

I don't know if it's because of the increase in mental power, but Bai Jianxiao feels that he can understand Xia You's heart a little bit.Perhaps it wasn't because of her mental strength. From her, he saw his messy, lonely and helpless growing up years.

The things that happen to people you meet when you are young shape them step by step, making them who they are in the end.

"I still don't understand why Yang Zaozao agreed to play this kind of game. Doesn't she know that she is risking her life?" He Huating complained.

"If Yin Cheng wants to commit suicide, and playing this game is the only way to save him, will you agree?" Lu Zhiqiong asked with great interest.He intentionally or unintentionally probed into the relationship between the two, and sure enough, He Huating's face flashed with astonishment when he heard this.

He asked rather impatiently: "If it were you, for your boyfriend, would you agree to play this kind of game?"

Bai Jianxiao, who was suddenly named, said, "Huh?"

Lu Zhiqiong glanced at him, actually thinking about this question seriously.

Bai Jianxiao was suddenly curious about his answer.
