Chapter 442 439 Fall
Congratulations, it's a girl!

"Daddy can hold her, but be careful."

"Okay, thank you. By the way, where's my wife?"

"Don't worry, she's doing very well."

"That's good, that's good."

The setting sun cast its light along the hospital's white walls until it disappeared above the red sign that read "Keep Quiet."

The smell of disinfectant couldn't suppress the joy of the baby's birth. This so-called major life event quietly arrived at this moment, obscuring the uncertainty of the future.

【Didi. Ta-ta】

On the wall, an old-fashioned pendulum clock chimes softly.

Below, a pendulum moving in a fan-shaped area is engraved with the time, recording the current time.

4:47:45
Outside the door, the nurse looked at the man with a happy face and asked,
Have you named your child yet?

"Bai Yi. Her name is Bai Yi."

"Okay, can you let us take care of the child first? Let her stay with her mother for a while; the family members need to come and sign some documents."

"Okay, no problem."

The man lovingly handed the child back to the nurse, then turned and left, glancing back every few steps, to go downstairs to complete the complicated procedures.

Just as I was passing by the corner, I suddenly came across someone leaning against the wall, their starry eyes looking utterly dejected.
Nurse?

"."

Bai Letian was slightly taken aback when he saw the nurse in front of him with her head down and not saying a word.

But she didn't pay much attention and just went downstairs to complete the formalities.

After the man walked past, the girl, who had been standing there like a statue, turned around in a daze and walked towards the delivery room.

At this moment, Zuo Jiangqin was just wheeled out of the delivery room and returned to her ward with her child.

And the girl, watching the pendulum clock on the wall, clutched something tightly and followed straight after it.

"Madam, please rest here. Your husband has gone to take care of the formalities."

"I see."

On the bed, Zuo Jiangqin's face was pale.

She covered her face, gritted her teeth, and breathed heavily for a while.

But just thinking about the pain she had just experienced in the delivery room made her feel uneasy.

It was truly a humiliating situation, a complete loss of face.
Pain, blood, excrement, viscous substance, light, confusion, shouting.
This is all of Zuo Jiangqin's memories.

"woo"

However, at that moment, she suddenly heard the soft whimpering of a baby coming from the side.

She paused for a moment, then turned her head and saw a tiny life, its face flushed and its skin wrinkled, quietly resting in its swaddling clothes on a small bed beside her.

"."

Looking at her baby daughter in swaddling clothes, Zuo Jiangqin opened her mouth, then fell silent.

"Click~"

Just then, the door opened, causing Zuo Jiangqin to quickly turn around and look.

Outside the door stood a young nurse wearing a mask, her starry eyes dim.

She carried a tray with a kettle and cups on it, then lowered her head and walked into the room.

"Drink some water."

"what"

Zuo Jiangqin didn't notice anything unusual. She simply looked away from her daughter and struggled to adjust her posture to drink water.

"Grumpy"

The nurse poured Zuo Jiangqin a glass of water, but instead of watching Zuo Jiangqin drink it, she kept looking at the baby on the bed.

After a long silence, she suddenly asked,

"What does it feel like?"

"Feel?"

Zuo Jiangqin, who was drinking water, was slightly taken aback. She turned her head to look at the incredibly young nurse and then knew what she was asking.

Then, as if she could finally vent her frustration, she let out a soft, annoyed snort.
"I feel so awful."

As she spoke, she frowned and glanced down at her lower abdomen, reaching out to touch it through her hospital gown; she could still vaguely feel the folds there.
Stretch marks can appear during pregnancy, and the lower abdomen can develop alarming contractions and wrinkles after pregnancy.

She may have been very concerned about this before, especially since she was so beautiful before.

"tsk"

She clicked her tongue softly, and the baby beside her seemed to sense her mother's displeasure, opening its mouth and crying out.

But because she had just shouted for a while in the delivery room, her voice was actually weak and feeble.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Upon hearing her daughter cry for the first time, Zuo Jiangqin immediately panicked and instinctively glanced at the nurse in front of her with annoyance.

"Do you have a solution? What should we do? Is it okay for her to cry like this?"

"I don't know either, I just started my internship."

The nurse simply looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes and murmured this sentence.

"Tsk, then go find someone else!"

Zuo Jiangqin frowned, but the nurse in front of her remained unmoved.

This infuriated Zuo Jiangqin even more. She was already weak, and then she encountered such an idiot, which made her even angrier.
"Where did Bai Letian go? He's been gone for so long, and I can't even get him back. I really regret it."

"."

Before Zuo Jiangqin could finish speaking, the nurse in front of her turned around, looked at Zuo Jiangqin, and asked,
"Zuo Jiangqin"

"?"

Zuo Jiangqin was slightly taken aback when she heard the nurse in front of her suddenly call her by her name.

Turning around, he saw the nurse staring straight at him and asking,
"Do you regret it, Zuo Jiangqin, for giving birth to the child?"

"."

Zuo Jiangqin was startled and didn't know what was wrong with her.

But at this moment, she couldn't help but pause, and her anger grew even stronger.

"Yes, I regret it so much! Not only did I suffer today, but I also ran into a lunatic like you. What's your name? I'm going to have my husband file a complaint against you!"

"."

"Why isn't he back yet! His daughter has a mentally ill person next to her; even getting a simple procedure done takes this long. What can he possibly accomplish?"

Zuo Jiangqin turned around to look for the nurse bell next to her, intending to call over the other nurses.

"I truly regret being with him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be in this situation."

"Zuo Jiangqin, do you know?"

But at that moment, the nurse's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Zuo Jiangqin's eyes widened, and then she turned around blankly.

But looking behind her, the nurse silently took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face with tears streaming down her face.

But at this moment, she had more than just the mask that had been taken off.
There was also a dagger, gleaming with a cold light.

"you"

Gripping the dagger tightly, the nurse, or rather Bai Yi, looked at Zuo Jiangqin and said in equal pain,
I regret it too.
"I regret being born into this world."

【Didi. Ta-ta】

【Didi. Ta-ta】

Time, unchanging through the ages, does not change according to human will.

On the wall, a pendulum swings, seemingly depicting the Linmen Gate at the same time.

"Next, number 67. From, Ooi Taiji, Luoqiao Ward."

In the Luoqiao District, an art gallery has been temporarily rented.

At the entrance, the Yasaka Company logo covered the entire facade, and a banner read "Yasaka Company Child Star Audition Final Round".

Above the banner is a pendulum clock used to display the time.

Beneath the banner were many families who had come for this purpose.

The children, dressed in their prepared costumes, were surrounded by their concerned parents, who told them not to be nervous and to do their best.

Inside the art gallery, the judges below the male group watched the performance on stage while secretly observing a middle-aged man in a suit standing to the side.

He stared intently at the children performing on stage, then suddenly asked the person next to him,
How many are left?

"There are four more children, President Yasaka."

"Boys, how many are left?"

"Uh, there's one more."

"Hmm, this one's alright. But overall, considering the quality this year, it's still just average."

"Huh? But the previous kids all had really good talents, and they weren't shy at all, President."

"hehe."

The middle-aged man shook his head without explaining, only saying somewhat boredly,

"I'll leave after I see the next boy; you can judge the rest."

"Okay, President."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man glanced at the list in front of him.

Taiji Oi, number 67; Huan Yan, number 68.

Looking at the names that followed, President Yasaka didn't stop, but instead looked up at the stage again.

"Contestants number 68, 69, 70, and 71, you may come in to wait. Parents, please do not enter the venue; please wait outside. Thank you for your cooperation!"

"Go quickly."

"Go for it, baby!!"

Outside the door, several boys walked into the venue looking slightly nervous under the watchful eyes of their parents.

Only one extremely handsome boy, dressed in a tiny suit, sat alone in a secluded spot, with no parents in sight.

But he wasn't intimidated at all; he simply took a bite of his bread, his eyes revealing a maturity beyond his years.
"The prize money is three thousand yuan, and if I can sign a contract later, I guess there will be more, right? Well, although I don't really want to be in the public eye, with this money, this summer should be quite comfortable."

The little boy counted on his fingers, then jumped off the railing he was sitting on, intending to go report for duty.

Just as he turned his head, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Ok?"

The little boy blinked and looked up at the person in front of him.

But before him stood a tall young man with a complex expression, looking down at him intently.

"goo"

The little boy, with a mischievous grin, looked around at the road while still talking.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside? I'm about to go on stage."

"I know"

Upon hearing this, the young man nodded, and then spoke in a soft voice as well.

"But I can't let you go."

The instant he uttered those words, jagged golden cracks suddenly appeared on his neck.
"Kakakaka!!"

【Didi. Ta-ta】

【Didi. Ta-ta】

"Help! Aaaaaah!! There's a madman here!!"

Inside the ward, Zuo Jiangqin's scream suddenly rang out.

Her panicked face was reflected on the sharp silver blade. Even though she was weak, her survival instinct made her use all her strength. She screamed and fell off the bed, crawling towards the door.

"Someone, hurry, someone save Bai Letian!"

Zuo Jiangqin struggled to run away, but suddenly a baby's cry, growing louder than usual, came from behind her.
"Oooh wow!!"

Upon hearing the cries, Zuo Jiangqin's expression stiffened slightly.

She turned around in a daze, only to find that the girl holding the blade had not come after her. Instead, she raised the blade with bloodshot eyes, pointing it at the infant life in the crib.

Seemingly sensing the murderous intent of the person before him, and also seemingly sensing his mother's departure, the baby on the bed began to cry restlessly.

"drop"

At the bedside, Bai Yi, with the blade raised high, had bloodshot eyes, and a single tear slid down her cheek.

"It's all over." As long as I disappear, the causality bomb will be deactivated.

Yan Huan will live, her father will not go to jail, and her mother will no longer have regrets and can live the life she wants.
One's own suffering can also be ended here.

Thinking this, Bai Yi's eyes turned fierce, and she gritted her teeth, ready to stab him suddenly.

"Ahhh!"

"boom!"

But at that moment, she was suddenly bumped hard by someone, and she staggered a few steps and fell to the side.

"Clang clang."

The dagger slipped and fell to the ground, reflecting Bai Yi's astonished expression.

She turned her head and saw Zuo Jiangqin leaning against the crib, panting, looking at her with tears streaming down her face.

Zuo Jiangqin looked at herself with a face full of fear, but immediately reached out and hugged the baby in the bed, struggling and screaming as she moved towards the door.

"Help! Help! There's a madman here!!"

"buzz"

Strangely, no matter how she called out, the hospital outside seemed completely detached from reality, and no one responded to her.

This was because at that moment, the entire sky was tinged with an ethereal, eerie green.

Countless toads, their eyes fixed on the baby in her arms, leaped out from the bushes of Linmen after the rain.

The ring finger has arrived.

Everything was completely silent, as if separated by a timeline, rendering Zuo Jiangqin's cries for help futile.

"Ha ha."

Bai Yi, who had been knocked down, stared wide-eyed, her eyes bloodshot. She mechanically gripped the dagger beside her once more, pointing it at Zuo Jiangqin in front of her.

"Why."

"Boom!"

Upon hearing Bai Yi's hollow voice behind her, Zuo Jiangqin was so frightened that she couldn't move at all, and her legs went weak, causing her to fall to the ground.

She turned her head, trembling, to look at Bai Yi who was closing in, and could only shake her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face.

"No... I won't beg you anymore."

As she spoke, she looked at the blade that was already above her head, but could only helplessly hug the crying child in her arms and protect him.

But seeing Zuo Jiangqin protecting the child with her hands and body, begging him not to lay a hand on her, Bai Yi's expression became increasingly broken.

"Click~"

At that moment, the door opened by chance, revealing Bai Letian standing outside with a stack of documents.

"Wife, your wife?!"

"Snapped!"

Upon seeing the scene inside, Bai Letian's smiling face instantly turned deathly pale, and the documents in his hand uncontrollably fell to the ground.

"No! Stop!!"

Bai Yi, who had raised the blade, paused slightly. She turned her head and saw Bai Letian, whose eyes were wide but dared not make a move.
"Don't hurt my wife and daughter, okay? We can talk about anything, okay? You want money, or whatever, I'll do it. You can even kill me, just don't kill them."

Before her, Zuo Jiangqin, tears streaming down her face, gently covered the mouth of the crying child to prevent her cries from provoking the murderer, and said to Bai Yi while holding her tightly in her arms,
"Please don't touch my child, please."

Bai Yi opened her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, but her expression grew increasingly pained.

"Why."

Her hand gripping the blade trembled slightly, startling Bai Letian so much that he immediately knelt on the ground, frantically waving his hands around.

"Stop, stop, stop, little sister! You don't know what she means to us. She was just born today! She's so small. Don't do this."
"You're still so young. Think about your parents. They love you so much, and they certainly wouldn't want to see you do this and ruin yourself, would they?"
Please, no... please don't.

But looking at the two people in front of her who knew nothing and were doing their best to protect the child, Bai Yi's wide eyes gradually trembled like a leaf.

She gripped the blade tightly, crying and screaming.
"Why is that?!"

Her sudden, hysterical screams echoed throughout the empty hospital.

Zuo Jiangqin and Bai Letian were both startled and dared not move.

Outside the house, however, countless toads hopped up the steps.

On the wall, a pendulum swings back and forth, marking the passage of time.

【Didi. Ta-ta】

【Didi. Ta-ta】

"what?"

The little boy looked on in bewilderment as he listened to the young man who had suddenly spoken.

But at this moment, he was completely puzzled and quietly retreated.
"Can you tell me why?"

There's no reason why.

The young man, or rather Yan Huan, felt the excruciating pain from the very first word he uttered.

He took a deep breath and gently touched his neck.
Immediately, I felt the viscous blood.
He only said one sentence.

Gazing at the blood, Yan Huan narrowed her eyes, but showed no intention of stopping.

"I know why you participated in the talent show, isn't it just for the money? You never intended to become a child star, so in that case, I'll give it to you."

He knew that he had only participated in child star auditions in the past for the money, so he had prepared enough money.

"click"

But just as Yan Huan was about to take out his money, he suddenly found nothing.

"!!"

The money inside mysteriously disappeared.

Just like that USB drive that suddenly flew up and was plugged in at the comic convention back then.

Worldline Correction
Moreover, Yan Huan also discovered that he couldn't say anything at all, as if the whole world was preventing him from speaking.

The voices of the staff could still be heard slowly behind me.

"Number 68, Yan Huan, are you there?"

"Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Upon hearing the call from ahead, the little boy blinked and silently walked towards him, intending to head to the scene.

"."

Yan Huan's hand trembled slightly, but despite the increasing number of wounds, she finally managed to lift it and place it on the boy's shoulder, speaking with difficulty, word by word.

"I'll give you the money later. How much do you want? I'll give you that much. Don't bother choosing."

"Didi."

The more he spoke, the more wounds appeared beneath his clothes, causing sweat to bead on his forehead.

Even so, he gritted his teeth and said everything.

"."

To everyone's surprise, the boy frowned upon hearing this.

For some reason, even though he had come for the money, the boy suddenly felt his dignity had been violated when he heard him say that.

This made him feel:
The more he tells me not to go, the more I want to go!

And we absolutely must get first place!!

"Sorry, this isn't about money."

The boy in front of her, despite his young age, shook his head presumptuously, gently pushed Yan Huan's hand away, and said something like that.

"."

Understanding that it was a correction of the world line, Yan Huan sighed and lowered her head.

Seeing that Yan Huan was no longer stopping him, the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

"boom!!"

However, the next second, Yan Huan suddenly threw a punch from behind without warning.

The powerful force of the punch struck the boy, causing him to collapse to the ground, clutching his body in pain and disbelief.
"you"

But behind him, he saw that although he was the one who had been punched, blood was flowing out of his hand, which had just thrown a punch, like a trickle.

"Beep beep. Beep."

Seeing this, the boy realized something was wrong and immediately tried to turn around for help.

"boom!!"

But Yan Huan didn't give him a chance at all, and directly lowered her head and punched him in the mouth again.

"Number 68, Yan Huan? Isn't she here?!"

"Woo!"

"boom!!"

"Kakakaka!!"

"Number 68! Yan Huan!! This is the last time!!"

As Yan Huan brutally punched the boy's face again and again, the world line completely erupted into chaos.

"Boom!"

Yan Huan gritted her teeth, feeling a sharp pain in her brain and body, as if being pricked by needles.

This torture-like torment left his mind blank, but he dared not stop, fearing that if he went in, he would meet that girl again.

"Stop it"

"Okay. Next, number 69, Bai Yi!!"

"Here! Here! Hurry up! Stop being so lazy!"

"Um"

Until they heard the name of the next contestant being called out in the distance.

Then came the little girl's somewhat reserved voice from inside the room.

"Um, hello everyone. I'm contestant number 69, Bai Yi."

柏忆
"boom!"

"Today, I'm bringing you a song... I hope you'll enjoy it."

"boom!"

The next second, inside the room, the faint, somewhat immature, melodious singing voice of a little girl could be heard.

I always thought that the world wouldn't care if I were gone.

This feeling may have been there before.

I tried to face it alone, stubbornly believing that no one could understand my lonely sorrow.

Upon hearing the girl's voice, which seemed to be her first time performing on stage, Yan Huan, whose body was covered in wounds, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The little boy beneath him, whose nose was bleeding, was initially furious, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly paused in surprise.

Simply because the person in front of him had hundreds or even thousands more wounds than him.
A single tear slid down his cheek, mingling with the blood beneath him, and finally landed on the boy's face.
The boy paused slightly, then asked,
"Are you OK?"

"."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan remained silent, but raised her fist again, frightening the little boy into begging for mercy.

"No, no, no, stop hitting me! I'm not going!!!"

"."

Inside, the girl's heartfelt singing continues, accompanied by the ticking of the clock.

Don't hug me too tightly.

Don't comfort me.

Just give up on me.

Let me continue to fall.

What color is love? I've forgotten, it's all blurred now.

It seems love brushed past me, never lingering and never truly belonging to me.

"Why is this happening?!"

In what appeared to be an empty hospital, countless toads croaked and stared in horror at the ward from which the roaring sounds were coming.

"If you're bound to experience that kind of pain and regret, then don't make the wrong choice or do the wrong thing from the very beginning!"

Why do I have to suffer so much, regret so much, and now this has to happen again!

Bai Yi gripped the knife, her hoarse voice filled with sobs.

"Because of me, you ended up like that in prison, unable to even deliver a single letter to me."
"It's because of me that your beautiful dreams, your life, your freedom, and your resentment towards fate have been ruined."
"Because of me, Yan Huan will die at 19."
"Since that's the case, then let me go."
"Let me go."
