Zhao Qing had been autistic since childhood and didn''t like interacting with people. She often locked herself in a dark room, muttering to herself in the darkness. Her parents were worried when they found out, so they took her to see psychologists, but it was all in vain. Over time, their worry turned into deep-seated disgust. Eventually, they abandoned her at her grandmother''s house in the countryside and stopped caring about her.Years later, a new life was born into the Zhao family, and Zhao Qing went with her grandmother to visit. A group of people surrounded the newborn, chatting and laughing. The Zhao couple were all smiles, exchanging pleasantries with those around them. But when Zhao Qing arrived, everyone fell silent, staring at her. After all, some things are well-known among relatives, like Zhao Qing''s strange habits.The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment. Then, Zhao Qing slowly walked forward, looking quietly at her mother, whom she hadn''t seen in eight years. She looked at the baby wrapped up tightly beside her. She wanted to take another step closer to get a better look."Zhao Qing! What are you doing?" her father asked with disgust."I want to see my little brother," Zhao Qing replied softly, continuing to walk forward slowly."Ah, Little Qing, how have you been lately? Don''t you think your little brother is adorable?" her mother asked, still keeping a distance from her daughter, trying to ease the awkwardness."Yes, he''s very cute," Zhao Qing said."Unfortunately, he won''t live past twelve!" she added."What?!" her father shouted in anger, grabbing Zhao Qing and throwing her aside.
