May 17, 2023.
This was an ordinary day, one not memorialized by history.
Early morning.
At Donghai University Affiliated Hospital, in the inpatient department, on the 17th floor.
Zheng Xiangyue got up early from her hospital bed, diligently washed up, brushed her teeth, and changed her clothes.
The hospital room was quieter than it had ever been before.
In the past at this time, her brother would softly wake her up, then she would playfully turn over and pretend to sleep, dawdling in bed until her brother picked her up and placed her on the stool in the washroom. Only then would she reluctantly open her bleary eyes and accept the toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed onto it by her brother... lazily popping it into her mouth.
But now...
Zheng Xiangyue felt she had grown up.
At the instant her brother left forever, she had unexpectedly and suddenly grown up.
She discovered.
