Chapter 243 Care
The Hong Zhiyuan family is a case in point; all four members of their family failed to obtain any purification items.
All four of them were in a state of "depression," but the daughter, who had previously suffered from depression, adapted the fastest.
She was the first to get up, heated up the rice balls, and distributed them to her family.
I boiled some more water and placed it by my family's bedside.
Although they hadn't managed to snag any props yet, the atmosphere at home wasn't one of despair.
Even her younger brother, who is in elementary school, still has the mood to joke with his older sister.
"Sister, I didn't understand when Mom and Dad said you had depression, but now I do. You've been through so much."
Hong Yueyue originally disliked her younger brother. She felt that he had stolen their parents' affection.
But sometimes, her brother's concern warmed her heart.
For example, even though he's the weakest in the family, he still tries to make her laugh.
Hong Yueyue told him to lie obediently on the bed, "If you're bored, chat with your friends."
My younger brother has an outgoing personality, and even while playing games, he made several good friends of the same age.
Even though he was in a bad state, apart from being pale and unable to get out of bed, my younger brother was in pretty good spirits.
"Sister, I'm a little cold, can you hug me?"
Although he is only 8 years old now, he still remembers when he was little, when his parents were busy working and not at home, he was afraid of the dark, and it was his sister who would hold him and lull him to sleep.
But that was the only time. Ever since her sister went to high school and then college, she has rarely hugged her.
For a long time, he was even warned by his parents not to upset his sister or to say anything inappropriate in front of her.
Sometimes, he really disliked his older sister.
But sometimes, I feel sorry for my sister because she's sick, and I can't get angry with a sick person.
In short, in reality, the siblings did not have a good relationship and were quite estranged.
It was only after they entered the game that their relationship gradually became closer.
He likes his sister's songs; they're especially beautiful.
He also loved the grasshoppers his sister made for him; they looked just like real ones!
That's why he couldn't help but make a request this time, hoping his sister would hug him.
But Hong Yueyue's body was stiff, and she had never told her family about it.
Her depression was actually related to an experience she had in high school.
That experience made her very resistant to contact with people, even her family.
So she found a fire and placed it next to her brother's bed.
"I'm going to check on Mom and Dad. You stay here and take care of yourself."
The younger brother could only say dejectedly, "Oh, okay."
When Hong Yueyue arrived at her parents' room, she realized that her parents were not in good condition.
It's not just that my mental state is bad, but my physical condition looks terrible.
Especially Dad, his face was pale and he looked terrifying.
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Hong Yueyue was frightened and quickly checked on her parents.
This was the first time Hong Zhiyuan had realized that depression was such a terrible thing.
Not only do I lack energy, but I also feel out of control of my body.
He felt deep remorse whenever he thought about how his daughter had been depressed for several years.
He clearly cared about his daughter, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Fortunately, Hong Yueyue understood this feeling very well.
She touched her parents' foreheads and necks; they were all cool to the touch.
I knew they must be feeling a bit cold, just like their younger brother.
She quickly took out two cups of hot water and fed them to them.
Next, a bonfire was set up.
"I heard someone on the channel say that warming yourself by a fire can relieve depressive moods. I don't know if it works, but I have to give it a try."
As she spoke, Hong Yueyue lit the bonfire.
The warm firelight illuminated the entire room. Hong Zhiyuan and his wife gradually felt themselves getting warmer.
Xue Yuanyuan's consciousness was initially somewhat hazy, but the warmth of the campfire helped her clear her mind.
She stared at the roof for a while before she remembered that it seemed to be her daughter who fed her water and food.
She never said thank you, nor did she properly comfort her daughter.
Now, Xue Yuanyuan is at least able to control her body. She tried to get up, but Yueyue held her down.
"Mom, what do you want? I'll get it for you."
For safety reasons, their supplies are stored in lockers. Their backpacks have limited space, so they are mainly filled with weapons and tools for everyday use.
Xue Yuanyuan felt gratified yet also a little sad as she watched her daughter skillfully take care of them.
"Yueyue is getting older and can take care of people now."
It was only then that she truly realized that her daughter seemed to be acting like an adult.
However, the price she paid for growing up was too high.
In the game, they experienced many life-or-death moments.
Faced with real life and death, Hong Yueyue matured rapidly, and her depression seemed to have improved.
But Xue Yuanyuan knew that her daughter had not truly recovered.
She simply suppressed all of this in the face of survival.
But now, Xue Yuanyuan is truly uncertain.
Even though everyone is in the same boat, Hong Yueyue can act as if nothing is wrong and take care of the whole family.
"Yueyue, you should rest. Dad will take care of you."
Hong Zhiyuan couldn't bear to let his daughter shoulder such a heavy burden, and was about to get up.
But ever since he entered the game, he has been under tremendous pressure every day, and his health has already collapsed.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep in a very, very long time.
Yueyue knew that her father hadn't rested in a long time, so she let him get some rest.
The same goes for mothers.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm used to this. Just rest easy. I can still grab some props later, so don't bother me."
Hong Yueyue is now completely relaxed.
With less than a minute to go, the new purification items will be put into the warehouse.
She stared intently at the screen without blinking.
Hong Yueyue reacted quickly; she used to help her roommates grab tickets and limited-edition clothes in games.
She failed to snag a deal the previous times because she was busy taking care of her family.
And the Chinese staff couldn't possibly time it perfectly, which is why she was always a little off.
Seeing that her parents' condition had improved considerably, she was finally able to squat down earlier.
As time ticked by, suddenly, the warehouse appeared before them.
Hong Yueyue tapped her hand reflexively.
I got it!
"Mom and Dad, I got it!"
This was the first time Hong Yueyue had been so excited since she started playing the game.
But she forgot that she was sitting, and when she tried to stand up, her legs felt weak.
Her parents were so frightened they almost jumped off the bed to catch her.
"Be careful, don't fall!" The two of them were startled by Hong Yueyue.
"Look, I got it!" Hong Yueyue took out a jade buckle, which was also a purification item.
"Mom and Dad, who wants to go first?"
Hong Yueyue couldn't wait to use it, but this one had a cooldown, so she had to time it perfectly.
Hong Zhiyuan and Xue Yuanyuan politely declined each other's offer, but in the end, Hong Zhiyuan was allowed to return to normal first.
After all, he was still the main workforce.
Hong Yueyue handed the jade buckle to her father, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, we'll be back to normal soon."
