"Elder Sister Shi, would you be willing to share your story with me?" Tang Zhixi asked gently.
Shi Leyun gazed at her, exhaling a deep sigh. "Where should I start? It's quite a long story."
"From the beginning," Tang Zhixi encouraged. "After all, we're not in any rush or have to go to sleep."
Shi Leyun couldn't help but smile. "That's true."
Taking a deep breath, she began to narrate her journey. She started by telling Tang Zhixi about her childhood and how she grew up in an orphanage with no knowledge about her parents. But, she never let her circumstances define her and always dreamt of making something of herself.
