“So, Big Backpack, I hope that after I return to school this time, none of these things will happen again.”
…
Big Backpack didn’t respond, and it couldn’t respond.
After all, what could Big Backpack do? It’s just a mouthless backpack~
Eve Nightburn didn’t expect it to reply either. She just hoped that all those so-called “word spirits” she heard from the people of the Eastern Islands in the anime she watched would actually be useful.
What if? What if this brainless backpack understood? Right?
People always need a little hope.
Even if that hope seems laughable to others.
If even that little hope is gone, then life truly loses its meaning.
What is life? What is daily life?
It’s knowing full well that tomorrow will be terrible, knowing that there will be no joy, but still looking forward to it.
And it’s not just about welcoming tomorrow, but also about making today, which seems meaningless, meaningful! Only then can one be worthy of welcoming tomorrow!
Only in this way can people find a moment of respite in this decaying world, a moment of their own happiness.
So, the one who truly lives happily in this world is actually a character from a Renaissance-era novel—Don Quixote.
Despite the world’s mockery, he is always eager to charge forward for the justice in his heart.
Eve Nightburn remembered when she read this text in school, she vaguely recalled the whole class laughing at this clown-like character with the Chinese teacher.
Only she felt that the story wasn’t funny at all, because the foolish knight in the story was so much like her.
Both were mocked by others, both gave their all for their dreams.
Don Quixote ultimately lost to reality, and Eve Nightburn had never won.
But Eve Nightburn always felt she was a bit stronger than Don Quixote—she dared to get up again after being knocked down, only to be knocked down by reality once more.
But honestly, that’s all she had.
Compared to Don Quixote, Eve Nightburn was truly inferior; he at least had a deity in his heart, while she didn’t even know what she was living for.
After admonishing the backpack, Eve Nightburn placed it beside the desk.
Then she left her room and organized the other items one by one.
After finishing, Eve Nightburn glanced at her phone.
10:30 AM, Saturday.
Suddenly, Eve Nightburn realized something: why hadn’t she seen Miri Dreamwell and Hui Feng, the father and daughter, on this day off?
Could they be working or studying on a day off?
Well, it’s not impossible; wasn’t she like that before?
…
Damn!
Those unpleasant memories surged in Eve Nightburn’s mind.
Indeed, she had been too comfortable lately, forgetting the hardships of the past.
It’s a proven fact that every worker firmly believes in the principle of resting on weekends.
But clearly, not all workers can enjoy that.
Eve Nightburn decided to stop thinking about it, as thinking about her good leader gave her a sense of helplessness, like punching cotton.
After all, at this moment, Eve Nightburn was more concerned with dealing with her own mess than worrying about Miri Dreamwell and her father.
Realizing this, Eve Nightburn returned to her room’s wardrobe and found a set of durable denim clothes.
After changing, Eve Nightburn looked at herself in the mirror.
In this patched workwear denim outfit, she suddenly felt a bit of the fearless worker spirit.
After all, she was about to move things, not attend a masquerade ball. Pretty clothes, aside from looking good, had no advantages.
Those kinds of clothes would get dirty with just a few steps, completely unsuitable for moving goods.
But this outfit was different! It might not look good, but it was durable! A few bumps and scratches wouldn’t be a problem.
“Brave Eve, fear no hardship!”
Eve Nightburn struck a cool pose and then left her room.
Passing through the living room, Eve Nightburn greeted Jade Xiang: “Mom, I’m heading out!”
Hearing this, Jade Xiang quickly pressed the pause button on the remote: “Eve, where are you going?”
“Checking out, moving luggage!” After saying this, Eve Nightburn closed the front door, leaving Jade Xiang no time to think.
“This…” Jade Xiang looked at the closed door, momentarily at a loss.
Jade Xiang took out her phone, found Eve Nightburn’s WeChat, and sent a message: “Be safe on the road.”
After sending the message, Jade Xiang pressed the remote again and continued watching her TV drama.
After leaving the Sun City community gate, Eve Nightburn hailed a taxi, asked the driver to go to Warm Garden, and then scanned to pay.
After paying, Eve Nightburn suddenly became curious about her balance: “Speaking of which… how much money do I have left?”
Only then did Eve Nightburn recall that she hadn’t checked her account balance in a long time.
After all, since she had no income, she didn’t dare to look at her money!
Really, one more look and it would explode.
But considering that she didn’t need to worry about money now, Eve Nightburn decided to check her balance.
Summoning her courage, Eve Nightburn opened her bank app and checked her balance.
9803 yuan.
…
It must be said that… Mom’s money is really durable…
Of course, it’s also because she spent her savings first.
And… since entering the void, she seemed to have been on a free ride.
In the void, she didn’t pay for anything.
In the frozen kingdom, she didn’t need to pay.
After waking up, it was all Nina White and Lucian Blue paying.
Except for that one time she paid for fish, she had been on a free ride ever since.
After checking, Eve Nightburn put away her phone and rolled down the window.
She felt a bit uncomfortable, probably a bit carsick from looking at her phone, so she leaned against the window and fell asleep.
A few minutes later, the driver aunt woke Eve Nightburn.
“Little girl, Warm Garden is here!”
“Mm!”
Hearing the arrival, Eve Nightburn immediately woke up, shook her head, and finally understood the situation.
“Thank you, auntie!” Eve Nightburn then opened the car door and got out.
After closing the car door, the taxi left, leaving only the still groggy Eve Nightburn.
Eve Nightburn stretched, perked herself up, and then turned to enter the dilapidated old community.
