My head hurts.
This was Li Wan’s first feeling after he gradually regained consciousness.
My consciousness was in a state of confusion, and my limbs felt as heavy as if they were filled with cement. Along with the headache, there was a crisp "ding" sound in my mind.
A mechanical, dull and emotionless voice sounded.
【The system has been activated. 】
【Do you want to receive the memory? 】
Li Wan was not unfamiliar with this voice. It was the voice that appeared in her mind when she was dying.
Li Wan groaned, and a thought flashed through her mind. In an instant, those memories that did not belong to her originally flooded into her mind like a tide.
Half an hour later, Li Wan looked at the ceiling and sighed slowly, then dragged his heavy body and climbed up from the bed with difficulty. He looked around this small apartment which was less than 30 square meters but was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items and looked very messy. Then he threw back the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the bathroom, touched the switch on the wall, and with a click, the bathroom light came on.
Li Wan looked at the face in the mirror that did not belong to him. He was stunned for a while. Then, a bitter smile slowly appeared on the face in the mirror that was a little swollen and pale due to alcoholism.
Finally accepted this absurd fact.
The voice in her head as she lay dying was real, everything she had heard was real, and everything she faced now was real.
She is Li Wan.
The owner of the face reflected in the mirror is also Li Wan, another self in another world.
A "Li Wan" whose birth environment, upbringing, appearance and personality are completely different from hers.
"Li Wan" was originally the youngest daughter of the Li family in Yunlin City. Because her eldest brother was a cold-tempered person and didn't get close to anyone, the couple always wanted to have another daughter, but they couldn't get pregnant. They saw doctors and took medicine many times. They finally got pregnant when their eldest son was seven years old. "Li Wan" was exceptionally beautiful and cute when she was a child, with a sweet mouth and was good at acting like a spoiled child. Her parents especially doted on her and indulged her. In addition, the Li family was wealthy, so "Li Wan" gradually developed a spoiled and domineering personality that would get whatever she wanted.
Four years ago, she pushed her cousin down the second-floor stairs because of a disagreement, causing her cousin to have a concussion and a broken leg. However, "Li Wan" knew no fault of hers. Her parents, who had cleaned up a lot of messes for her, were extremely disappointed in her this time, but could not bring themselves to take drastic measures. They had to seek help from the eldest brother of the Li family, who had taken over the family business a long time ago and had never cared about family affairs.
The eldest brother of the Li family had only one condition, which was that if he was in charge, his parents could no longer interfere. The Li family's parents were helpless with this little devil "Li Wan", so they gritted their teeth and agreed.
The first thing the eldest brother of the Li family did was to cut off all sources of income for "Li Wan". He locked her up at home for the entire summer vacation and did not let her go out. "Li Wan" had never been afraid of anything since she was a child, except for her cold-faced eldest brother. She stayed there for the entire summer vacation, thinking that she could fly freely as long as the summer vacation was over. However, as soon as the summer vacation was over, the eldest brother of the Li family packed her up and sent her abroad, and stuffed her into a women's university with strict management. He only gave her enough living expenses every month, and did not allow her to go home during the holidays.
"Li Wan" waited for four years until the end, got a diploma and went home, returning home like a bird flying to the forest. However, what she waited for was not a family reunion, but a paternity test report placed in front of her.
The results of the identification showed that she was not the biological daughter of the Li family and had no blood relationship with the Li family. It was because a nurse in the hospital confused two baby girls 22 years ago and confused her with the real youngest daughter of the Li family.
Now that the biological daughter of the Li family has returned to the Li family and her identity has been confirmed, her identity has become embarrassing.
"Li Wan" actually had some backbone hidden in her bones. Seeing the embarrassed, complicated and helpless expressions of her parents who loved her in the past when facing her, and the biological daughter of the Li family who looked like her parents and lived happily with the family, she took nothing and asked for nothing. She turned around and left without looking back.
She met her biological mother.
It is hard to imagine that she and her biological mother lived in the same city but had never met each other for more than 20 years.
She was a very simple single mother. Because her husband died early, she did not remarry and raised her two children alone with great difficulty. She sent her daughter to a key university. After she graduated and started working, good days were about to come. However, she did not expect that overnight, the daughter she had raised with all her efforts became the daughter of someone else's family. It was difficult for her to accept this fact. When facing her own biological daughter "Li Wan", she only felt strange, embarrassed and at a loss.
"Li Wan" was unable to face all this, so he cut off all contact with the outside world and rented a small apartment to live in.
Li Wan saw her future in her memory.
"Li Wan" has always found it difficult to accept her own life experience. She has offended many people in the circle. She used to be the daughter of the Li family and everyone gave her some respect. But after her true identity was exposed, anyone could step on her. She was proud and could not stand those humiliations. She has been devastated ever since. She once wanted to return her life to its original state and find her biological mother. She finally mustered up the courage to go to her house, but saw the deep affection between her biological mother and Li Rou, who had returned to the Li family. After being greatly shocked, she sneaked back to the Li family, but her parents were not there, and Li Rou, who had changed her name to Li Rou, "entertained" her.
"You have been enjoying things that don't belong to you for more than 20 years. What else do you want to be dissatisfied with? You don't want to go back to my house, do you? Mom and Dad are soft-hearted, but if I were you, if I had any dignity, I would not have anything to do with the Li family anymore... Don't blame me for saying harsh words, I just can't bear to see Mom and Dad suffer."
"Li Wan" left the Li family in humiliation. She was completely hopeless and felt that she was abandoned by the world. After returning to her small rented apartment, she took sleeping pills and fell into a deep sleep.
Crash...
The wash basin was full of water. Li Wan turned off the faucet, leaned over and pressed her face into the water. She washed her face, stood up and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Li Wan" does not look like Li's parents. She is 22 years old, with a fair and moist face even without makeup, an enviable head of long, black, thick hair that looks as lush as seaweed, a pair of slightly red and moist peach blossom eyes under her curved eyebrows, a small and straight nose, full and plump lips with a natural red color, and no flaws on her face. Even Li Wan, who believes he has seen many beauties, can't help but sigh that he does have a good appearance in this world.
"Li Wan's" biological mother never treated Li Rou badly.
Instead, he worked hard and devoted all his efforts to raise her.
"Li Wan" did nothing wrong. The mistake she made back then was not intentional. If she had grown up in her own home, she would not necessarily grow up to be so spoiled and arrogant. "Li Wan" had never coveted the wealth of the Li family. What she wanted most was someone who could give her some love. In the final analysis, both Li Rou and she were victims.
But obviously, Li Rou didn't think so, she hated "Li Wan".
He doesn't care about forcing "Li Wan" into a desperate situation.
Li Wan let out a long sigh, staring at herself in the mirror, her wet peach blossom eyes revealed a bit of calmness and clarity, and she said softly, "I will live well."
Li Wan walked out of the bathroom and faced the messy and dimly lit apartment. She went to the window and pulled open the tightly drawn curtains. The scorching sunlight outside shone directly in, and the dimly lit room suddenly became bright.
Li Wan narrowed her eyes, then pushed open the window, and the wind immediately rushed in. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, feeling that the turbid air in her chest was also exhaled. Then she opened her eyes, tied her hair up, rolled up her sleeves, and started cleaning.
Two hours later, the originally messy small apartment was suddenly brand new, and all the sundries were neatly put away. Li Wan was sweating all over. He took a shower, opened the wardrobe, and couldn't help looking embarrassed.
"Li Wan's" aesthetic is far from hers.
"Li Wan" did not bring much luggage when she returned to China, just six or seven pieces of clothing.
Li Wan picked up a piece of clothing at random, which was a low-cut camisole top covered with sparkling sequins. The denim shorts in the closet were either so short that Li Wan doubted whether they could completely cover the buttocks, or they were short and torn, or they were dresses that exposed the entire back with very little fabric.
Li Wan recalled the day when "Li Wan" came back from abroad. She was wearing a dress that exposed her entire back and had heavy makeup on. She was standing in front of Li Rou, the biological daughter of the Li family, who was dressed simply and plainly and had a graceful temperament. The contrast was simply tragic.
Li Wan picked and chose, and finally picked out a black T-shirt with an exaggerated cartoon pattern on it that was big enough to fit two of her. She then changed into a pair of "tattered" denim shorts, the hem of which was long enough to cover her pants, making her look like she was not wearing anything on the lower body, but it was barely enough for her to go out.
Li Wan took out the quilt covers and sheets from the washing machine, took the key, closed the door, and went to the rooftop to dry them.
It was midsummer, and when I opened the iron door of the rooftop, a gust of scorching hot wind blew in my face.
There were clotheslines on the roof, and quite a few clothes and bed sheets were hung out to dry in the sun.
Li Wan hung up the sheets and quilt covers, but did not rush downstairs. Instead, he walked to the edge of the rooftop, put his hands on the railing, bent down, and comfortably enjoyed the hot breeze blowing on his face under the scorching sun of midsummer.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she last basked in the sun.
It was not known whether it was the control of the "system", but her memories of her later years seemed to become very vague, while she remembered things from her youth more and more clearly. However, the feeling of not having been exposed to the sun for a very long time and of the vitality gradually draining away from her body was still deeply engraved in her bones. But at this moment, drying in the sun, with the scorching hot wind blowing on her face, she could feel the vibrant vitality in her body.
Li Wan closed her eyes, raised her face slightly, and a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
There is no better feeling than this.
When she came down from the rooftop, she saw a man in a white T-shirt standing in front of her house and knocking on her door.
Li Wan was sure that she didn't have this person in her memory, so she walked up to him and asked politely, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
The man turned around. He was a young man with a gentle and fair appearance. When he saw Li Wan, he was stunned at first. After taking a closer look at her, he frowned and asked, "Are you the tenant of Room 2731?"
Li Wan glanced at the house number, nodded, and asked, "Yes, what's the matter?"
The young man said coldly, "I'm here to collect the rent. My mother is busy, so she asked me to come over. She said you owe one month's rent, a total of fifteen thousand. Do you want to pay by WeChat, Alipay, or cash?"
Li Wan then remembered that he had already owed a month's rent, but had been putting it off because he had no money.
Li Wan immediately said to the young man apologetically: "Sorry, please wait a moment."
After Li Wan finished speaking, she saw that he was still standing in front of her door, so she could only say, "Excuse me."
The man then moved aside.
Li Wan opened the door with her key, smiled at him politely, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
Li Wan took the phone and looked at the balance. She frowned in worry. There was only 600 yuan left in the phone, and she owed 1,500 yuan in rent... She hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked back to the door with the phone, and said sincerely and apologetically: "I'm really sorry, my family has had a big change recently, and there is only 600 yuan left in the phone. Can you..."
"Half a month." The young man interrupted her with a frown: "Pay it in half a month, or I'll leave."
He didn't want to say anything more, so he turned around and left.
Li Wan stood at the door, looking at the young man's back with a little confusion. Could it be that "Li Wan" had ever offended him?
His attitude towards her just now was just short of having the words "I hate you" written on his face.
Yuan Yang walked into the elevator and suddenly frowned.
Li Wan didn't know him, but he was "impressed" by her.
He had run into her once in the elevator before. She was scantily clad and drunk. She even vomited in the elevator, making him so sick that he had no appetite for several days.
He has never liked girls who don't love themselves, not to mention that they have problems with their personal credibility. Even though she looks much better today than she did that day, he believes he has seen through her true nature, so no matter how sincere her eyes look now, he believes that it is just a disguise.
She would definitely still not be able to pay the rent in half a month, and by then, he would ruthlessly let her go.
Li Wan returned to the room and thought for a long time but really had no memory of him, so she simply stopped thinking about him, poured herself a glass of water, and sat in front of the window to think about what to do next.
The most urgent thing is to find a job first.
It's just that "Li Wan" really has no talent for studying. Even when she was sent to a strictly managed girls' school abroad by the eldest brother of the Li family, she had no intention of studying. She often hung out with a group of rich second-generations who were also sent abroad in the school. After staying abroad for four years, she could not even speak English well, and she finally managed to get a diploma with great difficulty.
Thinking of this, Li Wan couldn't help but feel a little headache.
She doesn't have any special strengths. From childhood to adulthood, the thing she is best at is studying.
How come I am a complete academic failure in this world?
Just when Li Wan was racking his brain over what kind of job to look for, that familiar system prompt suddenly rang in his mind again.
“Ding Dong——”
Then, unsurprisingly, that dull, mechanical, emotionless voice sounded again.
"Do you want to accept the mission?"
Task?
When Li Wan thought of the information conveyed to her by the mysterious system that communicated with her in her mind, she knew that such a good thing could not happen out of the blue. She chose to receive it without hesitation.
At the moment she made her choice, a line of words mysteriously appeared out of thin air in front of her.
Li Wan held the water and stared at the words. He was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
It’s not because of these strange words that appeared.
But the content of the word.
——Marry Li Zelin.
This Li Zelin is no other than Li Zelin.
It was "Li Wan" who threw her into a foreign country where she was unfamiliar with the environment and made her fear the eldest brother of the Li family to the core.
