Chapter 470

"I don't want to anymore..."

What?

Ye Su was instantly dumbfounded, damn? Why didn't this girl play according to the routine?

Feeling it was very difficult, he sat cross-legged beside her, "If you don't want to live, why are you struggling so hard here?"

Clearly having suffered all the bullying from others, if she didn't want to live, wouldn't ending her life early be a relief for herself?

"But I'm afraid of pain. I don't know which way of dying won't hurt, so I've never been able to bring myself to do it."

Ye Su felt there was a chance and threw out a temptation, "Then why don't you follow me? I will protect you, and you won't have to die, nor will you have to feel pain."

The little girl shook her head, "I don't want to."

"Why? Do you have any other concerns? As long as you mention it, I will try my best to satisfy you." Ye Su pursued relentlessly.

But the little girl didn't give him an answer, as if she had already made up her mind and had no attachment to the world.

After a long, long time, the little girl stood up and wiped the tears from her face, and her already gray face became even dirtier.

"Alright, thank you very much for having the idea to help me, but I really don't need it. You might as well go help others, people who need it more than I do."

As soon as she finished speaking, she prepared to leave, but Ye Su stopped her.

"Then what if I tell you that my plan to save you is the most basic step to saving others?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" The little girl didn't quite understand.

Ye Su took out his identification documents, including his proof of working at the research institute.

"We are currently developing a vaccine, but there has been no progress. I accidentally discovered that you have quite good attainments in this area, so I want to invite you to go over."

The little girl gave a bitter smile, "Me? Then you really found the wrong person. I can't do it; it's impossible for me to do it."

Hearing this, Ye Su felt that she seemed to have a story.

He forcibly pulled the little girl to keep her from leaving and chatted on the side. After a long time, the little girl finally agreed to tell her own story.

It turned out that she was born into a family that favored boys over girls, a family of medicine. Tracing back, the family had always been imperial physicians.

But the family was very strict, adhering to the rule of passing it to sons and not daughters. Even though she was very passionate about medicine, her father wouldn't teach her.

She could only sneak a look at her younger brother's notes when he was playing outside.

This matter had been developing smoothly, and she even thought it would be like this for the rest of her life, but there was still a day when the matter was exposed.

Her father discovered that she was secretly following and learning, and he was very angry. He tied her directly in the courtyard and took a stick to whip her.

Her mother was heartbroken and begged bitterly on the side, hoping to give her a chance.

Her father didn't believe at all that she could succeed and casually reported a few medicinal materials, asking her to explain the usage and taboos of the medicinal materials.

She felt there was hope and recited the things she had already memorized by heart.

When she was halfway through, her father suddenly interrupted, "Wrong! Ginseng is taboo with grapes because grapes contain tannic acid, which will affect the efficacy of the medicine!"

She was stunned. She could guarantee that she had not remembered it wrong at all.

She would look at her brother's notes every day, and she could remember every word and every punctuation mark clearly.

But she didn't explain, because she knew her father didn't want to listen at all.

Based on this, her father sentenced her to death, gave her a severe beating, and made her face the wall in her room for a month. ===== CHAPTER 472 =====
