July 18, real world.

The big hand that reached into the quilt felt the sheets moving, and Bai Ye woke up immediately.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Su Yi's lake-like eyes. The sunlight was like melted oranges, shining golden and sparkling in her eyes, so beautiful beyond words.

Bai Ye quickly wiped his face with his hands, tidied up the messy hair on his forehead, and tidied up his appearance.

Su Yi saw through his little action, the corners of her mouth curved, her voice was weak and gentle:

"You didn't sleep well? Sleep a little longer."

After the [false code] was eliminated, the real memory raged in the brain like a tsunami. Before Su Yi's mind could fully digest it, his body moved first. The real self naturally reached out and touched Bai Ye's head.

——Help him smooth his fur and tidy up his messy hair.

This action was too intimate, and Bai Ye lowered his head obediently without any resistance, as if they did this every day.

The sunlight from outside the window shines in, like a glass of orange juice poured into the ward, dyeing the pale walls into light gold. There is a shell wind chime tied to the window frame, which makes a crisp sound of ding-ding-ding when the wind blows. It was hung there by Bai Ye himself, saying that it can add a little vitality.

In the false memory, the ward that was always pale and cold with only one person in it now has one more person.

Su Yi felt that he was like those patients he had once envied, now having a loved one who would accompany him when he was sick, someone he could care about.

When I wake up every day, I will see a furry head by the bed instead of a metallic bed rail.

A large amount of real memories rushed through his mind. Su Yi saw countless fragments at once. He quickly sorted out the information into categories and soon sorted out his real life trajectory based on the development of time:

He is an orphan. Probably because of a congenital heart disease, he was abandoned by his biological parents shortly after birth.

His parents wrapped him in an earth-gray swaddling cloth and placed him on a secluded river bank. This color blends well with the soil and rocks, making it difficult for people to notice him.

His parents did not throw him directly into the river. Perhaps they did not want to dirty their hands by killing their own child, so they quietly placed him on the shore, waiting for the river to rise in tide. The waves would naturally wash him down and drown him, killing him with the power of nature.

——This is what the director of the orphanage who adopted him later told him.

That day, the director's daughter accidentally fell into the water and drowned. She couldn't accept the loss of her daughter in her middle age, and was about to go to the river to commit suicide. By chance, she saw a baby in a cradle on the shore.

Little Su Yi was only as big as a cat. He lay quietly inside without crying or making any noise, and he was unaware of the fact that he had been abandoned.

"Su Yi is my savior?"

The director of the orphanage had kind wrinkles on his face and spoke gently.

From then on, young Su Yi felt that the word "mom and dad" was a horror story.

There was a small, big-bottomed TV in the welfare home. Sometimes the signal was so bad that snow fell from the TV. After dinner with sweet potato porridge, Su Yi would sit in front of the small TV and watch it like other children.

There were always programs on TV that made Xiao Su Yi confused, saying a lot of strange things, such as:

[Parents are the people who love us the most in the world?]

[Only mom and dad will love you unconditionally]

[Father's love is like a mountain, mother's love is like an ocean, this is the greatest love in the world!]

After the TV show is over, the aunt from the welfare home will come and ask them to go to bed.

Finally one day, the four-year-old Su Yi couldn't help wondering. Being shy by nature, he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of others. He secretly ran to the dean and asked softly:

"Teacher, why does this TV always lie?"

If it is really unconditional love, why abandon him?

Even though he has a congenital heart disease, he is alive and well now. He must also have value in existence... just like those children on TV.

"I'm not lying."

The dean squatted down and touched Su Yi's soft hair lovingly:

"There are many parents like those on TV in this world, and many children are born into families like those on TV. Their parents love them more than their own lives, and the family lives happily.

"It's just that you don't have this luck."

When Su Yi was just six years old, the dean was transferred away.

The reason? The educational philosophy is problematic and has an adverse impact on children.

When the director left, Xiao Su Yi stood blankly at the door of the welfare home, watching the car go farther and farther, until it became a tiny dot on the horizon and would never come back.

Sometimes she would tell them some educational content that was not suitable for children but was indeed the truth and was too sharp.

When I first heard it, it felt like being pricked by a needle and bleeding, but after a while, I was able to recognize some facts more clearly.

Su Yi felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of education. For orphans like them, they were born to suffer more from the world's beatings than normal children. It was good for them to recognize those sugar-coated bullets as soon as possible.

Fairytale-like happiness does not exist at all. Even if it does, it does not belong to children like them. At least it will not fall on these unfortunate people for no reason.

So when Su Yi won first place in the National Children's Mathematical Olympiad at the age of six, his first thought was not surprise, but panic.

The new director is passionate about education, or educational achievements. He often organizes activities in the welfare home, encourages children to participate in various competitions, and invites the media to record the whole process.

A week before the National Mathematical Olympiad for children started, the new dean gave each of the children a reference book without any teaching content at all. He let them read it on their own and then made it mandatory for everyone to register for the exam.

Most of the kids used this reference book to prop up table legs or tore it up to make paper airplanes. No one read it at all.

Of the only three children who opened the book, two of them read it for less than half a minute before closing it and throwing it aside.

Only Xiao Suyi saw it all the way to the end. I thought it was interesting, but the answer to the fourth question on p34 was wrong. It should be -1, not 1. And the second to last question on p86 should have two solutions, but the reference book missed one.

On the day of the exam, the new dean drove a very luxurious car and amiably escorted them to the exam room.

When the results were announced, the quiet welfare home was suddenly crowded with people. Su Yi hid timidly in the innermost part and saw a group of strange adults, tall, wearing suits, surrounding him outside, pointing their cameras at him.

Multiple microphones made a buzzing sound, as if trying to pry open his mouth and torture him out of something.

Xiao Su was so scared that he shrank back and wanted to hide in his own bed, like a snail retreating into its shell.

He had just taken half a step back when someone grabbed his collar.

The new dean smiled and pushed him to the front, not allowing him to retreat. He was pushed to the podium and in front of the huge, dazzling spotlight. Little Su Yi felt dizzy:

Just by reading a reference book... can you get the first place in the country inexplicably like this?

Six-year-old Su Yi felt that there must be something wrong. His little head was filled with confusion. He couldn't understand how could the math problems for the national selection be so simple?

He also didn't understand whether those students who were scratching their heads at the test papers in the examination room had some allergic symptoms. Aren't there questions where you can know the answers just by taking a look at them?

[A child prodigy of the National Mathematical Olympiad appears in xx welfare home]

[The first child prodigy actually suffered from congenital heart disease. God closed a door for him, but opened the most beautiful window for him...]

This kind of news quickly became a hit in the local area, and people were coming and going in front of the welfare home in an endless stream.

One day, Su Yi saw a very impressive convoy approaching, and faces that he had only seen on TV got out of the cars.

A few days later, six-year-old Su Yi was adopted.

The adoptive father is a well-known local entrepreneur. Also adopted were two younger sisters and three younger brothers, all of whom were born with congenital heart disease.

The adoptive father therefore established a foundation to help children with congenital heart disease, which quickly became a popular story and also increased the company's visibility.

Up to this part, Su Yi feels that his life trajectory is similar to that in the [virtual memory], except that the people he meets are more interesting than those in the [virtual memory], or more vivid, like living people, rather than the background symbols in the [virtual memory] that accompanied him growing up.

Afterwards, Xiao Su was admitted to the most famous primary school in the area with the reputation of a "child prodigy".

Because he suffered from heart disease, he was shy and quiet, couldn't run, and couldn't participate in any group sports. He often took sick leave, was hospitalized, had injections and took medicine. He couldn't integrate into his classmates at all. During his six years of elementary school, he had no friends at all.

When he entered junior high school, the situation was similar, but he met Bai Ye.

In the real world, he met Bai Ye much earlier. They were in the same junior high school and were in the same class.

Bai Ye was a transfer student to their class. His family was well-off. Su Yi had met Bai's father at his adoptive father's party. It seemed that the Bai family had just expanded their business here.

However, we didn't develop a romantic relationship during the three years of junior high school, so to say it was just pure friendship... is a bit strange.

When they were in high school, Bai Ye was in the class next to his. An unexpected King's Game forced them to date for three months.

As they talked, the fake thing turned into reality accidentally. When the three-month deadline was up, no one broke up.

The relationship lasted until Bai Ye's senior year of high school. Bai Ye's academic performance was not very good, but not too bad either. It was just that it was difficult for him to be admitted to a 985 or 211 university in China. The Bai family was prepared to spend several million to send Bai Ye abroad to study for an undergraduate degree, so that he would become a top student who graduated from one of the top 100 universities in the world.

In the end, Su Yi was successfully admitted to the Mathematics Department of M University, one of the top universities in the world, with a full scholarship; while Bai Ye applied to the School of Science and Technology of M University, which was next door to him, and studied International Economics and Trade, with full self-funded tuition.

Shortly after receiving the offer from the Department of Mathematics at M University, Su Yi also received news that he was suitable for a heart transplant. The hospital was located in the Royal M University Hospital, not far from M University. It could be said that it was a double blessing.

They had no pressure at all from the college entrance examination. They were a happy couple in their third year of high school, and went abroad happily to live their own world as soon as they graduated.

Bai Ye found renting a house too troublesome, so he simply bought a high-end apartment near the school. The school is a five-minute walk to the left, and the Royal Hospital is across the street to the right, so he can go to the hospital and go to school at the same time.

In Bai Ye’s own words, “It’s not expensive, just over 2 million, a house in the city center with a school district, complete medical and transportation facilities, it’s a steal!”

A week before the heart surgery, Su Yi moved out of the house they had lived in for two years and began to be hospitalized for observation. She stayed with him day and night and accompanied him to welcome July 18, the day of the heart surgery.

At this time, they are happy and joyful.

…So, what went wrong?

Su Yi, who has regained his real memory, quickly recalls and looks for discordant places. What went wrong that led them to fall into the world of [Horror Script Killing]?
