Chapter 453: As if Evaporated from the Human World

"Xiao Ran, have you always been on your own?"

"What?" Tong Ran was taken aback by the question, her slender fingers withdrawing.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just suddenly thought that you seem to always be with the president, and I haven't seen you with friends."

After a slight pause, Pei Ruoshui turned her head, her delicately made-up face facing Tong Ran. On closer inspection, it appeared somewhat unnatural, "Don't you have best friends or close friends?"

Best friends and close friends...

Do I have them... How could I not?

But, it's all in the past now.

She once had so many, family members, the person she loved, best friends, close friends, classmates, schools...

And a dream she persisted in and took pride in.

Then, at the prime of her life, all these things she once had gradually disappeared from her world.

Until they turned entirely to ashes...

No matter how hard she tried, she could never reach them again.
