Night fell, all was quiet.
Li Xianghua and Lu Guoping were so excited they couldn't sleep all night. Chenzhou had told them not to brag to friends and relatives for the time being, to wait until his admission to the Martial Arts University was confirmed.
Otherwise, if they boasted too soon and he failed to get in, it would be embarrassing.
In a certain district within the Inner City,
Shi Ruyu also shared her joy with her family.
However, hers was a single-parent household, with only her mother for support.
On the night of her third birthday, her father had encountered a Virtual Disaster on his way home from work. His car had plunged into a river with him inside, drowning him alive. His body was bloated, and when the forensic scientists opened his stomach, they found it full of rotten water plants.
In front of her father's portrait, she stroked the Void-breaking Gloves.
"Ruyu, go to sleep."
"Okay, Mom."
