PrologueLocalized in the city’s trunk line, inside of a top personal residential area, a young boy is lying quietly in a bed, staring a LCD screen. However, the room in which the youngster was, was very strange. Countless animation toys were spreaded over the cupboard to the point where any otaku would die of envy. You can see from the fine workmanship that each work is a valuable treasure. On the bookshelf there is also collection covers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and even directly purchases from j.a.pan, like genuine manga, cds, posters, etc. Every kind of neighboring merchandise. At the same time, extremely in disharmony with the room, exist the best medical equipment comparable with the city’s large hospitals together with a life support equipment!
The youngster face was very thin with an abnormal yellow colour. He has inserted inside of his nostrils a breathing tube along with a *hiss* sound which comes from the machine. Even though he is young, because of chemotherapy, he ended bald and not even his eyebrows were saved. Being seen by other people would give a strange and fearful feeling.
“Ha… Cough… Haha” The LCD is displaying the anime called《Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood》The protagonist “Ed” Elric Edward is hugging intensely his brother’s armor to the extent of almost breaking his vertebra. A happy laughter followed by a slight cough comes from the mouth of the youngster.
With the gently opening of the door, a nurse enters holding a warm water bag. After the youngster nodded, the nurse changed the infusion bag of his right arm for a cold water bag. After fixing the warm water bag, the nurse left the room silently.
After the nurse left, the youngster moved his somewhat rigid body and pressed a few b.u.t.tons of his keyboard, making the monitor switch to a trading window. Looking at those densely packed numbers and dazzling trend chart, the youngster decides to start selling and buying. Suddenly the youngster’s look appears to be of a professional in the stock market.
After the operation is completed, the tired youngster took a deep breath lying down. Ordinary people can’t begin to imagine the wealth that went into this youngster’s pocket in only ten minutes. Perhaps some would pity this youngster, casting away those stocks which would rise in value after some time, but the youngster know that he doesn’t’ have much time left. So for the sake of security, the youngster does not care if he gain a little less or not.

Gla.s.ses Panda came with a huge and naughty smiling face!
The boy decided to come clean about everything, both of his hand quickly typed the keyboard; &1t: I have an incurable disease and I don’t have much time to live. Until now, every CG you’ve done together with the anime, had brought me smiles, that’s why if it’s possible┉┉┉can you leave your bank account number? I want to give you some money to express my grat.i.tude>.
The youngster felt like his message was improper so he quickly continued typing: I’m sorry for say something like this so suddenly, but I don’t mean anything bad. If you are afraid you can go back to the bank and apply for a bank card. I have handled the money like this many times┉┉
To the youngster, taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars doesn’t affect him at all. It can be said that the money he profit doesn’t have any meaning to him. The only use it has is that after his death, his parents are less sad, and to live a pacific life where they don’t need be worrying about clothes or food.
Gla.s.ses Panda didn’t reply, instead, he uploaded a new CG. In the image, a mother was gently holding his child who had tied a red scarf. The boy was carrying a schoolbag, and looking at him, the boy seemed to be happy and proud when looking at the red scarf on his chest. The entire CG exuded a warm feelings.
&1t; Your parents are the ones who gave you birth, leave it with them!>
For at time, tears were falling without stop, he believes that he truly became friends with him.

If you are willing to give them to me, I will “reluctantly” accept them.> Another image appeared in the message bar of QQ, of an emperor in a costume drama sitting straight in his emperor’s chair, with the following words, “You don’t need to thank me!”
The youngster smiling through tears, began to hit the keyboard. But just at the time when the youngster was about to deliver his message, he feel a stream of hot coming from his throat.

Another nurse used the room’s telephone and contacted the doctor who was resting in another room.
Soon, several doctors together with the boy’s parent rushed in, the doctors and nurses were busy facing his body as well, there was a look of sadness in his parent’s face. The only thing the youngster feel is that his five senses are becoming more and more fuzzy, all the sounds become distant, like they were coming from a unknown and distant place, the scenery began to blur. After losing all the strength on the body, both eyes begin to close, and finally everything is shrouded with darkness┉┉
