Loren's home is located in the southernmost suburb of Shanglin City, which is commonly known as the slum area.

From the time he was thirteen, he moved here and learned to get used to it.

Twelve huge gray towers stand here, and a large number of aerial bridges connect them. From a distance, they look like hideous gray giant beasts, roaring towards the urban area of ​​Donglin City.

Each huge tower of poor people has 128 floors, and there are an average of 250 households on each floor.

More than one million people live in this area, forming an ecosystem of poor people. Some people here have never been out of the circle from birth to death. When life and death come here, everything in the circle is their entire world.

Loren's home is on the sixty-third floor of the Gray Tower No. 6.

The dim lights reflected the narrow corridor, and Loren walked quickly through it. At the corner of the corridor, the violin music that had faintly heard before gradually became clear, and he couldn't help but slow down.

It was not because of how melodious and moving the song, but because he saw the door next to his house opened, a tall and slim woman in white was walking out of the door and saying goodbye to her family with a smile.

She was his neighbor, a former high school classmate, who lived youth and laughed together. Then he took a break from school for three years and she was admitted to university. From then on, she parted ways, leaving only neighbors.

Who had never had a hazy feeling and a beautiful beauty when he was young? But for Loren, such an era would never come back.

He thanked her for appearing in his youth. The way he thanked was to appear as little as possible in front of the other party, so that the beauty that everyone spent together would be left in memories.

At this moment, she was covered in dust and dressed in black; while she was in her white clothes like snow, in her prime.

Loren turned around, pushed open the nearest security door, and hid in the darkness of the safety ladder. With the sad beauty of the violin, he listened to the clear footsteps approaching, and drifted away in the direction of the elevator until he disappeared. Loren flashed out of the darkness and continued to move forward.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he glanced at the door of his neighbor on the other side. The violin music came from it. I remember that this family did not have such musical cells before, and it seemed that they were newly moved neighbors.

He opened the door of the house, and the electronic bills floating slightly in the air were particularly annoying, like waves, one after another, turning into invisible pressure and rushing towards him.

Loren passed through the bill waves expressionlessly, and at the same time he had thought about his current economic situation. There was no doubt that he had entered the economic crisis again. Susie's medical compensation for falling from the building this time became an unexpected link and the most unpredictable link. No one knew how much money Susie had to spend...

This further strengthened Loren's determination to visit Susie later. It would be great if she found out that she could let her go.

"Allen, are you back?" A lazy female voice came from the room, with a bit of hoarse magnetism.

This is just a small suite with one bedroom and one living room. Loren just needs to turn his head and see the female owner. She is leaning against the windowsill of the room, holding a cigarette and a bottle of wine, and is facing Loren's gaze.

Her name is Linyin, Loren's mother.

Loren glanced at her feet, cigarette butts and several empty wine bottles, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lingyin, have you drunk too much again?"

Lin Yin smiled, rubbed her short black hair, raised her head and took a big sip of wine, before shook her head: "Not yet!"

Loren walked towards his bed, which was in a corner of the narrow hall, threw down his backpack, and responded to the tree-shade: "Didn't you find a job as an architect in the game world last week? Are you unemployed again?"

"Yes, I was responsible for the plot design. I just added a little touching element to that small world, and then the mastermind criticized me. I was really wronged... As a backbone person, I chose to resign!"

Loren walked into the narrow kitchen, took out the broom and garbage shovel, and habitually pressed the key, and naturally did not respond. Loren was also used to using these automatic machines as manual tools, carrying them into the room, and began to clean up the garbage on the floor.

"The whole world is wronged, what are we talking about?" Loren could only smile, "What strange element is this time? Kissing a pig? I thought he was a prince, but it turned out to be a pig?"

Lin Yin was dissatisfied: "Your talented mother is such an image creator in your mind?"

Loren's movements couldn't help but pause. Five years ago, their family was in decline. Three years ago, his father disappeared. From then on, the situation became worse and worse. Linyin also fell and survived decadently. I don't know when it started. It would be good for her to call her name directly. However, at this moment, she rarely mentioned her mother's identity.

Loren raised his head and looked at the other person. Lin Yin rubbed his hair embarrassedly. She turned her head and looked out the window. In the steel jungle, a light rail was flying past the air bridge. The world outside the window was actually not as beautiful as the scenery.

But Linyin looked at it attentively, then said softly: "Hi, Allen, you will return to school today, right?"

"Yes, I have to go back to school to complete the procedures in the morning, and I have to hold a hearing. I hope it goes well." Loren looked at his mother's side face. Time was ruthless and had already left traces on her face, but it could still be seen that she was once a beautiful and exquisite woman.

Linyin said: "Is the money enough?"

Loren's eyes lit up: "You are more affordable recently?"

Lin Yin laughed: "I don't have money either! But I will comfort people."

"..." Loren continued to lower his head and sweep the floor.

Lin Yin continued, "Today is the anniversary of your father and I..."

Loren could not respond because the poor had no anniversary.

"I still remember seven years ago, when our family went to the Sky Peninsula Restaurant to celebrate." Linyin's voice was full of remembrance, "I still remember that at that time, we stood at the highest point of the entire city. Your father said at that time that he liked high places, but not to let the whole world see it, but to see the whole world..."

Loren paused again and looked at his mother in confusion: "Lingyin, we didn't go to the Sky Peninsula Restaurant seven years ago, and my father never said such a thing!"

Lin Yin also stared at Loren, slowly turning back and staring at Loren. In addition to being surprised and suspicious, she also mixed with fear. She shrank out the window, as if she wanted to widen the distance from Loren. She gritted her teeth and asked in a deep voice: "That day was very special, you can't not remember it! You... you are not Loren! Who are you?"

The temperature around him suddenly dropped sharply, and an inexplicable chill rushed towards Loren, and even his scalp was numb. Could it be that the plane collapse he experienced last night did not return to the world that truly belonged to him? Some terrible things have actually happened...

The atmosphere entered freezing point and the whole world solidified!

Lin Yin suddenly laughed and shook her head and said, "Silly kid! How about it, do you think my acting skills are great? Hello, I'm just joking with you to help you relieve your pressure. Humph, I'm going to change my acting career route. I heard that some low-level planes are recruiting actors in the big world, so I just tried it. Your father said back then that I was actually the most suitable for being an actor..."

As she said that, water vapor gradually evaporated from her eyes, and her voice blurred. Loren pursed her lips vigorously before saying softly: "Bookyin, don't be unable to get through the past, because it has passed; we should not be able to get through the present, because life still needs to be passed through!"

"Yes, life has to go on..." Lin Yin stopped talking.

Loren suddenly realized and immediately protested: "The rent is half of the person, so don't think about losing it again this month!"
