Background Editor: I'm Just Playing the Pity Card, Why Are You All So Anxious?

Even though you're an orphan, you're bound to a Background Editor System. When the Director of the Education Bureau inspects the school cafeteria, they happen to notice you're only eating free rice and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. When the Director asks why you haven't applied for financial aid, you wave your hand dismissively. Hmm, System, I have a great idea.

Your dad, guarding the border; your mom, a doctor fighting disease against the odds; your grandpa, a veteran of the War of Resistance; your grandma, a military doctor who served alongside him; your maternal grandparents, who signed 30-year confidentiality agreements. Your anti-drug police brother, who died young, and your sister, whose police badge number has been sealed.

Director: "Child, just eat the cauliflower soup."

Xu Yi: "Why?"

Director: "Leave the seaweed and egg drop soup for them."
