China, Shanghai, Renai hospital.
in one of thewards of this famous hospital on shanghai, a girl was crying in front of a middle aged woman. the middle aged woman was lying in the hospital bed, wrapped in bandages. the middle aged woman named Xu ling tian , was consoling her daughter , the girl in front of her to stop crying. xu lingtian coudn't help but smile bitterly.
her entire life, xu lingtian was full of hardship and poverty. she was an orphan and her name was given to her by the orphanage. she left the orphanage at the age of 18 and tried to survive in shanghai. there , she met her husband who eventually left her when he discovered that xu ling tian was pregnant.
Xu lingtian raised her daughter, xu ling all by herself .
her daughter grew so beautiful and very smart, earning admirations everywhere.
what is the reason xu lingtian is lying on the hospital? earlier this morning , xu lingtian was about to buy her daughter some breakfast when a truck came charging towards her. xu lingtian jumped to the side but the driver intentionally turns the truck towards her direction. luckily there is a electril post standing between the two variables so xu lingtian only got some bono fructure and bruises.
" now now, stop crying lingling. its just some bruises right? see, mama can still wave her hands"
xu lingtian tried to console the crying xu ling when she almost choked by her own saliva because of what her daughter said next
" but you cant even stand on your own!"
xu ling raised her head while tears continued to flow out of her eyes. she was blaming herself because she believes that if her mother didn't go out to by her breakfast, this wouldn't have happened to her.
thinking about this made her cry even more. her cries are now disturbing the other patients so her mother covers her mouth but her sobs can still be heard.
"lingling, even if i cant stand on my own, aren't im still alive? although i cant kick im still alive!"
her mother punched softly in the air to show that although her lower body is injured, her upper parts are still well and functioning.
when she saw her mother acted like that, xu ling stopped crying and smiled lightly.

night came and the visiting hour ended.
xu ling walked out of the hospital absentmindedly. earlier, went she went down to ask the receptionist on how much was the hospital bill, she was shocked to know that the number of her mothers bill already reached a six digit!
xu ling couldn't help but burst into tears once more when she thought on where is she supposed to find that sum?
" lingling?"
a voice was heard behind xu ling and when sheturns her head behind, she saw her best friend, feng shuang.
" lingling? wait are you crying!? "
when xu li ng heard that she once again burst into tears and dove to her bestfriends embrace.
" hey, lingling. what happened? now stop crying! tell me what happened. did someone bully you? tell shuang'er and i will beat the hell out of them!"
feng shuang thought that xu ling was harassed again by some bad guys so she couldn't help but grow angry. xu ling saw that and she was very thankfull that she have this kind of bestfriend.
" dumb dumb shuang'er. who can bully this empress?"
xu ling replied back and the two started playing around. now long after, xu ling recovered and looks normal once again.
" now, lingling, tell me why are you crying"
feng shuang remembered that when she arrived here, she saw xu ling crying in the corner while crouching.
" its like this. my mother was caught in an accident and was lying in the hospital currently. when i checked the hospital bill, i saw that the bill was not 140,000 . where am i supposed to find that amount of money?"
when xu ling was recounting the incident earlier, she teared up while biting her lips. feng shuang saw that and once again consoled her.she tried thinking if there is any relatives of her that might be able to help her best friend but when she thought of what she saw earlier, her face flushed with excitement.
" lingling, why not try streaming? with your beauty im sure you will easily become popular"
"streaming? you mean dancing in front of the camera while wearing revealing clothes? no i dont want to do that. although we are poor, i cant resort to that of thing and throw ny dignity for money!"
xu ling was stunned at first but snapped immediately when she processed what her bestfriend just said.
" lingling you idiot! when did i say that you have to do that? there is so many ways of streaming! for example, streaming while drawing, streaming while cooking, streaming while gaming etc.! streaming is just a way to show the world your talent!"
" really?"
xu ling heard that and was now thinking. she is thinking on how will she stream to earn money.
" but shuang'er, how am i suppoed to stream? i need a way to make me grow popular immediately or else, my mother's bill might grow every day she spends there!"
" yeah, that's right. gaming and other takes a lot of time to grow popular"
feng shuang frowned when she thought of that but her face immediately glows when she thought o her schedule tomorrow.
" then lingling, how about you stream while we are exploring the amazon forest? im sure your popularity will explode when the audience saw that a beautiful girl like you was surviving in the forest!"
" but shuang'er, we're just going to explore right? so why do i need to survive?"
"oh, righ- but its almost the same!"
the gigglings of the girls was heard that night.
