Chapter 324 The Unbearable Price

Pepe looked at Leyin's bookshelf in front of her.

"There are so many books you like to read."

"Yeah." Leyin came over and said, "As long as it's a good novel, I like to read it."

Suddenly, Pepe saw a set of books.

She didn't even have time to ask for music, and quickly pulled out the first volume of that set of books.

""Necromancer Cinema"! You actually have this book!"

"You like it?" Le Yin was a little surprised.

She found that Pepe's hands seemed to be shaking a little because of excitement.

"My favorite set of books when I was in high school... written by Black Willow, the famous writer of suspense and thriller novels."

"After the Nittler family chapter, the plot completely changed its style. I just bought the next few books out of habit."

"When did you buy it?"

"When...it was also in high school."

"Do your parents allow you to read these books?"

Leyin shook her head and said, "How could I agree? My grades were not very good at the time. So I bought it secretly, and then put the book cover on the outside to make my parents think it was a reference book, so I secretly finished reading it. Do you like this set of books? "

"It's more than just liking... This is my favorite book in high school..."

Pepe flipped the pages of the book quickly, her fingers even trembling violently.

"I was... I was..."

Pepe recalled the scene in high school.

In fact, very few people know that she is a student who is seriously biased.She did well in mathematics, but her English scores were still failing.Parents are very anxious about this. Facing the college entrance examination, it is not easy to get into a good university with poor English.

It's a stereotype to be a top student or a scumbag.Studying has always been an extremely difficult and tortured thing, especially in high school.

Pepe's parents are very strict with her. In order to allow her to study hard, they gritted their teeth and bought a house in the school district with a loan, saying that they were willing to make such an investment for education.Every time Pepe gets good grades, the parents will be very pleased.However, only Pepe herself knows that she doesn't like studying at all, and it can even be said that she feels nauseous every time she sees English words.

She can easily and flexibly use mathematical formulas, but she feels extremely difficult with the complex and varied English grammar. By the time of her second year of high school, her English score had reached the bottom of the class.

"You asked me before, if any wish can be granted..."

"Yes, I asked..."

Looking at the book in front of her, Pepe smiled wryly.

"This set of books was out of print later because the sales were not very good. I went to university and wanted to buy a set online, but I couldn't find it on Taobao or Xianyu."

Pepe flipped through the book in front of her, and finally put it back on the shelf with a sad expression.

"Zhaojun, reading is really not a pleasant thing."

"Who says it's not?" Leyin was particularly touched by this: "You are really amazing, and you can still go to graduate school..."

"Before, I also bought a set of "Necromancer Cinema". At that time, my English score was not improving, and my parents blamed it on the book I bought."

"Then? They tore up the book?"

"My mother took me to find a bookstore near our school and said that I would return these books. She severely reprimanded the clerk, saying that a bookstore near the school should sell reference books and textbooks, but they actually gave me Selling this kind of bad novel about ghosts caused my grades to plummet. She said that the family is still paying the mortgage, and they are not allowed to sell this kind of book to me.”

Leyin froze.

"At that time, there were many other students from the school in the bookstore. The incident caused a big commotion. Later, I communicated with the bookstore owner and bought textbooks of the same price at the same price. The most frightening thing was that because I still I went to buy books secretly, and even entrusted other students to buy them. As a result, my mother went to make trouble again and again, complained to the school, and finally... the bookstore owner was unbearable, and no longer included novels. The students also wanted to buy because they couldn’t buy them. It started to annoy me more and more.”

Leyin never thought that Pepe would have such an experience.

"After I was admitted to university, this set of books was out of print."

Then, she added: "Actually, I didn't mean to blame my mother. Later, my grades really improved and I was admitted to a good university. But when I filled out the application form, this was not the major I wanted to study."

She looked at the book in front of her and said: "What you want to do and what you are suitable for doing are often not the same thing. My mother often said to me that if a person wants to be successful, he must do what he is doing." Things you don't like doing."

"My mother's personality is different from your mother's. She always takes good care of me. My father always says that a loving mother is a loser, but I know she really cares about me. My mother used to say to me , If a person can’t do what he likes, it’s meaningless to be successful.”

Pepe didn't notice that when Leyin mentioned "my mother", her hands clenched into fists.

"Lan Ying is like this. He likes to play football, but his parents refuse to agree. I didn't expect that he can really enter a professional football club now."

Leyin thought for a while and asked, "Well, that...Xi Shi, you said just now, if you have a wish to come true, what is it?"

"Let's not talk about it. It will sound ridiculous to you."

"What do you think?"

"No more." Pepe still shook her head.

However, Leyin's curiosity was aroused.

"How about I tell you a story?"

"what story?"

Afterwards, Le Yin made two cups of coffee.

"Well, long, long ago, there was a... little girl..."

Pepe had already had coffee, so she didn't really want to drink it, but she still took the coffee cup out of courtesy.

"One day, she met a witch in the forest..."

"Huh? A fairy tale?" Pepe was surprised. She thought that Leyin would tell her a story that actually happened to her.

"Well, you can just listen to it as a fairy tale."

"Okay, you can say it."

"The witch told the girl that her wish could be granted, but at a price."

Having said that, Leyin subconsciously dared not look at Pepe.

Pepe thought: Is this a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale?Grimm's Fairy Tales?
"In the beginning, she made a very simple wish, and the content of the wish was..."

Leyin told Pepe her real experience in the form of a fairy tale.

"She couldn't bear it anyway, so she had to throw away her own cat."

Pepe subconsciously took a sip of coffee and said, "Then what? She has fulfilled her wish to be with the boy she loves, so is there any need to go to the forest witch?"

"Yes, she later went to the forest witch again. She wanted to realize the boy's dream... She felt that doing so could make up for her inner anxiety. After all, she was with the boy only by relying on the witch's power. "

"It's understandable. Then what happened?"

"The price the witch paid this time is too high. It is so high that it is impossible to afford it..."

Pepe found that when Leyin said this, his face became a little pale.

"What's the price this time?"

However, Leyin bit her lips tightly and did not speak out for a long time.

"what is it?"

"My...little girl's...mother..."

"Her mother?"

"The forest witch said that she wants the little girl to kill her mother herself. It must be done within eight days. If it cannot be completed within eight days, the forest witch will come to the little girl herself and ask her to pay her back... But how could the little girl do it, That's her mother!"

"It's so cruel! In "The Daughter of the Sea" before, the mermaid was just to kill the prince," Pepe said immediately, "Then what happened after that? Has the forest witch been found? How can the little girl find a way to deal with the forest?" A witch?"

Leyin shook his head.

"No way was found. That's the end of the story."

"It's over? Is this over?"

"Well, this is a psychological test story."

"The witch of the woods is some kind of metaphor?"

"Well, I think it should be..."

"I really want to know the end of the story. Eight days later, what will happen when the forest witch comes over?"

"In any case, it's impossible to sacrifice mother, is it?"

Pepe thought of her mother and nodded without hesitation.

"of course!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the location of the toilet!
