Chapter 13: Unbearable Price

Pepe looked at the bookshelf of music in front of him.

"You like to read a lot of books."

"Yeah." Leyin walked over and said, "Any good novel, I like to read it."

Suddenly, Pepe saw one of the books.

Before she could even ask for music, she quickly pulled out the first volume of the book.

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

"Do you like it?" The music was a little surprised.

She found that Pepe seemed to be trembling with his hands because of excitement.

"My favorite set of books in high school...written by Black Ghost Fire, the famous writer who wrote suspense thriller novels."

"After entering the Nietlaire family chapter, the plot has completely changed its style. I just bought the following books out of habit."

“When did you buy it?”

"When... it will be when it will be in high school."

"Do your parents agree to you reading these books?"

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

"It's not just my favorite book in high school..."

Pepe quickly flipped the pages, his fingers even trembled violently.

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

Pepe recalled the scenes when he was in high school.

In fact, few people know that she is a student with a serious degree of subjectivity. She is good at math, but her English scores are never enough. Her parents are anxious about this and are facing the college entrance examination. It is not easy to get into a good university if they can't learn English well.

What kind of academic masters or poor students are stereotypes. Studying has always been an extremely difficult and torturous thing, especially in high school.

Pepe's parents have very strict requirements for her. In order to allow her to study hard, they gritted their teeth and bought a loan for school district housing, saying that they were willing to make such investments for education. Every time Pepe gets back good grades, their parents are very pleased. However, only Pepe herself knows that she doesn't like learning at all. It can even be said that she feels vomiting every time she sees English words.

She can easily and flexibly use mathematical formulas, but she feels extremely difficult to use the complicated English grammar. By the time she was in her second year of high school, her English scores had reached the bottom of the class.

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

"Yes, I asked..."

Looking at the book in front of him, Pepe smiled bitterly.

"This set of books was out of print because the sales volume was not very good. Later, I went to college and wanted to buy one online, but I couldn't find it either on Taobao or Xianyu."

Pepe flipped the book in front of him and finally put it back on the bookshelf with a sad expression.

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

"Who said no?" Leyin was particularly touched by this: "You are really amazing and can still take the postgraduate entrance examination..."

"In the past, I also bought a set of "Needle Cinema". At that time, my English scores were never enough, and my parents took their anger into the books I bought."

"And? They tore the book off?"

"My mother took me to a bookstore near our school and said she wanted to return the books. She severely scolded the clerk, saying that a bookstore near the school should sell reference books and textbooks, but they actually sold me such bad novels that tell my monsters, which made my grades plummet. She said that her family still pays off their mortgage loans and they are not allowed to sell such books to me again."

The music was stunned.

"At that time, there were many other students in the school in the bookstore. The matter was very troubled. Later, I communicated with the bookstore owner and bought textbooks of the same price at the same price. The most terrifying thing was that I would secretly buy books and even entrust other classmates to buy them. As a result, my mother went to make trouble again and again and complained to the school. In the end... the bookstore owner was unbearable and no longer entered the novel. The classmates also became more and more annoyed me because they couldn't buy the books they wanted to buy."

Leyin never expected Pepe to have such an experience.

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

Then, she added: "Actually, I didn't blame my mother. Later, my grades really got better 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 I want to do is often not the same thing as what is suitable for her. My mother often said to me that if a person wants to succeed, he must do what he doesn't like to do."

"My mother's personality is different from your mother. She always takes good care of me. My father always says that a kind mother will lose her son, but I know she really cares about me. My mother used to tell me that if a person cannot do what he likes, it will be meaningless even if he is very successful."

Pepe did not notice that when the musical notes mentioned "My Mom", his hands clenched tightly into fists.

"This is what Blue Eagle is. He likes to play football, but his parents refuse to agree. I didn't expect that he can actually join a professional football club now."

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

"I won't say it anymore. You will find it ridiculous."

"Tell me?"

"I won't say it anymore." Pepe still shook his head.

However, the curiosity of music was aroused.

"Why would I tell you a story?"

"What story?"

Afterwards, Leyin made two cups of coffee.

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

Pepe had already drunk coffee, so he didn't want to drink it, but he took the coffee cup out of politeness.

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

"Alas? Fairy Tales?" Pepe was surprised. She thought music would tell her the story that happened to her.

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

"Okay, tell me."

"The witch told the girl that her wish can be fulfilled, but it will cost a certain price."

Speaking of this, Leyin subconsciously didn't dare to see Pepe.

Pepe thought to himself: Is this story a fairy tale of Andersen? Grimm's fairy tale?

"At the beginning, she made a very simple wish, and the content of the wish was..."

After processing her real experience in the form of fairy tales, the Music Yin told Pepe about it.

"She couldn't bear to leave it anymore, so she could only throw away the cat from her family."

Pepe subconsciously took a sip of coffee and said, "And what? She has fulfilled her wish and is there any need to find a forest witch?"

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

"It's understandable. What happened later?"

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

Pepe found that when Music Yin spoke this, his face turned a little pale.

“What is the price this time?”

But, the music clenched his lips and refused to say it.

"What is it?"

"I... the little girl's... the mother..."

"Her mom?"

"The forest witch said that the little girl wanted to kill her mother with her own hands. It must be completed within eight days. If it cannot be completed within eight days, the forest witch will come to the little girl in person and ask her for a reward... But how could the little girl do it? That's her mother!"

"It's too cruel! In "The Daughter of the Sea", the mermaids were just letting the prince kill," Pepe said immediately: "What happened later? Did the forest witch come here? Did the little girl find any way to deal with the forest witch?"

Music shook his head.

"No way was found. This story ended here."

"It's over? Is this over?"

"Well, this is a psychological test story."

"The Forest Witch is some kind of metaphor?"

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

"I really want to know the ending of the story. What will happen when the forest witch comes here eight days later?"

"Anyway, it's impossible to sacrifice my mother, isn't it?"

Pepe thought of his mother and nodded without hesitation.

"That's certain!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the toilet!
