Scenes before Chapter 563...?

After a lot of hard work, Lin Xiyue finally began to be able to see the images that flashed through her mind more clearly.

At first, Lin Xiyue's gaze was drawn to the scene she could see clearly: she looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, standing alone in an empty and somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

The ground in the yard was uneven and overgrown with weeds, and the surrounding walls were also somewhat mottled and peeling.

She gazed silently at the starry sky, as if something in that endless expanse was drawing her attention.

However, Lin Xiyue could not decipher what she was looking at or thinking from her expression.

Just then, a middle-aged woman walked quickly from the edge of the frame. Her steps were hurried, her expression anxious, and she looked very flustered.

However, when the middle-aged woman saw the little Lin Xiyue, her eyes lit up, and she walked over to her and whispered something to her.

It seems like he's asking her what she's looking at.

A look of confusion crossed Lin Xiyue's face, and she shook her head.

He then obediently followed the middle-aged woman out of the courtyard and into the house.

Lin Xiyue stared at the scene, a strong sense of certainty welling up in her heart—this was herself on Earth.

Moreover, she recognized the middle-aged woman; she was a life skills teacher at the orphanage who used to take care of the children there.

However, to Lin Xiyue's confusion, she had absolutely no recollection of this scene.

Although she looks somewhat confused in the video, that shouldn't mean she's completely lost that memory.

Lin Xiyue tried hard to recall, searching her mind for any clues about the scene, but it was all in vain.

The scene was like a forgotten dream; though clearly visible, it had no connection to her real-life memories.

The scene unfolds like a movie, slowly following Lin Xiyue as she grows up.

Time seemed to flow backward, and you could see her small figure, led by her homeroom teacher, walking through the corridor and finally returning to her room.

Upon entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is the large communal bed, where more than a dozen girls are sleeping haphazardly, all immersed in sweet dreams, emitting soft breathing sounds.

As a child, Lin Xiyue slept at the very end of the dormitory-style bed. This spot was right next to the window, where she could enjoy plenty of sunlight, and there was also a small cabinet next to her, which was convenient for storing some personal items.

Lin Xiyue gazed at this familiar corner, her thoughts drifting away.

She suddenly remembered that her homeroom teacher had told her that she had won this spot after a fierce battle with all the other girls in the room.

However, Lin Xiyue had no recollection of this experience.

She couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that she was too young at the time and had completely lost her memory of the fight?

But in any case, ever since she could remember, that best spot by the window had always belonged to her, as if it were her destiny.

As time went by, Lin Xiyue grew up and eventually moved out of the room on her own after becoming an adult. Only then was that perfect spot finally available for other little girls to choose to sleep there.

Looking at the scene before her, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity. Although she had no recollection of this scene, the images kept moving in front of her like a movie.

Suddenly, the screen flashed, and the entire scene instantly switched to the memory scenes of Feng Mingxing.

Lin Xiyue stared at the screen, a sense of familiarity welling up inside her.

Because her memories had been merged with those of the "original owner," some blurry fragments of memory gradually surfaced in her mind as she looked at these scenes.

The "Lin Xiyue" in the picture looks a bit younger than in the previous pictures, about ten years old.

She also lives in an orphanage, but her life there is completely different from that on Earth.

On Earth, although Lin Xiyue also lived in an orphanage, she could at least receive some basic education and her basic living needs were met.

However, the "Linxi Yue" here seems somewhat different from others.

She looked a little silly and dazed, as if she was full of confusion and bewilderment about the world around her.

Her innocent and naive appearance makes it immediately clear that she is easily bullied.

It is indeed a heartbreaking fact that she was always the one being bullied in this orphanage.

In this orphanage, little Lin Xiyue could not escape the other children snatching away her food and toys.

Her hair was often pulled and tugged by other children, and her body was frequently pushed to the ground by bad kids, but she never reacted much.

She neither cried nor spoke, nor did she retaliate against the bullying; she was like a lifeless doll.

This silence and indifference sent chills down the spines of those who cared for her, as if she were not a real child, but a doll from a horror movie.

This feeling instilled fear in people, and gradually, they began to ignore her existence and turn a blind eye to the bullying she suffered.

After all, who wants to stare at a child who looks like a doll in a horror movie for an extended period of time?

The eerie atmosphere was chilling, so everyone chose to stay away from her, leaving her to spend each day in loneliness and bullying.

Lin Xiyue stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, a feeling of unease welling up inside her.

She could almost feel the pure malice deep within those children's hearts, and the adults' deliberate indifference in ignoring it.

Fortunately, this suffocating living situation did not last long.

One night, when little Lin Xiyue was bullied again and locked out of her room, a figure suddenly appeared in the scene—it was Moros!

Meros appeared in the courtyard that night in the form of a black cat.

He nimbly leaped over the wall and walked straight toward the small Lin Xiyue. Moonlight shone on him, outlining his elegant silhouette.

Little Lin Xiyue was clearly startled by the unexpected visitor, but she did not back down.

Instead, she slowly crouched down and awkwardly reached out her hands, seemingly wanting to pet the adorable cat.

Moros seemed to have anticipated Lin Xiyue's actions. He tilted his head in a cooperative manner and gently rubbed her hand, as if conveying a sense of friendliness and warmth to her.

Their interaction suggests that this wasn't the first time Lin Xiyue and Mo Luosi had met.

There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between them, a connection that only they could comprehend.
