My parents received their ‘Educators of the Year’ award on the day my twin sister and I were born. The reporters asked, "How will you educate your children in the future?" My father looked at the babies in the incubator. "Twins are perfect for a comparison experiment." My mother nodded weakly. "One of them will be brought up as an elite, while the other will grow up naturally. This is the only way to prove if education can change someone's life." That was how my family began its two grooming projects. The elite twin was given early education from the age of one month old, and her schedule was filled with enriching activities until she was 25. The regular twin was guaranteed only her most basic survival needs. The experiment would be a success as long as she did not die of starvation, freeze to death, or succumb to any illnesses. All our relatives praised my parents for their dedication and enthusiasm, and their colleagues told them, "These are what real educators are like." When it came time to announce their results on the big screen during a press conference, 26 years later… Mom, Dad, why are you so afraid to watch the outcome now?

Chapter 1
My parents thought that the press conference announcing their experiment results would be a success.The screen showed the formative years and life journey of the elite twin. It was about my sister, Chloe Sullivan's life. It followed her from when she started receiving early education at a month old to when she earned her PhD at an Ivy League university. The video showcased her growth in a bright light.My parents received thunderous applause as they stood on stage, smiling with humility and pride until the last second of the video. Suddenly, it stopped abruptly, and the screen turned black for two seconds. When the lights came up once more, a sentence in red appeared.'The experiment has not ended'.My father's smile froze on his face, and the next second, I heard his panicked roar on the phone. "Pull the plug! Stop the signal at once!"I was sitting in my rented house, dipping my head to take a bite of my instant chicken noodle soup. The noodles had turned soft, and the soup

My noodle soup had gone cold, leaving a layer of oil on the surface. When I lowered my head, my tears fell and splashed into the soup. I was surprised to find myself crying. I rushed into the bathroom and turned on the tap to splash cold water on my face. I could feel myself starting to sob.When I looked up at the mirror in front of me, I saw my reflection looking back at me with reddened eyes. My skin looked dark under the light, and my hair, which stuck to my face from being wet, was dry and yellowish. Chloe and I were twins. She had always been the most popular girl in school since she was young, as she had fair skin and long, silky hair. Chloe always stood out in a crowd. Meanwhile, my skin was dull, and my hair was dry and short. The skin on the back of my hand was rough, and I had calluses all over my fingers from handing out flyers and washing dishes. Our similar eyes were the only features we shared. After I turned ten, I started distributing flyers to earn money. Besides

I did not leave for the press conference right away. I left my phone on the table, and it continued vibrating as I stared at the cold chicken noodle soup, feeling nauseous.It had been years since I escaped. I had a job and a place to stay, and I had finally worked up the courage to buy myself a cup of milk tea as a treat. I always thought that they could not do anything to me as long as I did not look back.However, my phone started vibrating wildly. Unknown numbers kept calling me, and texts from new numbers filled the screen.[How can a failed sample get revenge against her parents?][Is it true that you have a tendency to retaliate against society?][You're an egoist who ruined 26 years of your parents' hard work!][People like you should be destroyed!]My fingers froze, unable to decline any of the calls or texts. I knocked the chicken soup over by accident. I forgot to dodge the spill, and it scattered all over the ground, wetting my feet. I looked down at the mess.A rep

When I arrived at the press conference, the security guard at the door glanced at me several times. The hall was filled with people, and I was immediately faced with camera flashes and gossiping."That's her, isn't it?""She does look unstable.""How did she end up that way when her sister has earned a PhD?"My uncomfortable feet shuffled forward, and my fingernails dug into my palms as I clenched my phone, forcing myself not to turn and run. My father, who was below the stage, was the first person to spot me. His face fell. "How dare you show your face here!"My mother dashed toward me, saying shrilly, "How long are you planning to throw a fit? Chloe graduated with her PhD and has received many international awards. What about you? All you have is a normal degree, and you can't even keep a job!"The audience below the stage sniggered. It felt like something was stuck in my throat, and it hurt so much when I swallowed that I teared up. "I got good grades when I graduated from uni

Chapter 5
After my mother stopped screaming, the hall was left with only the sound of the microphone's static. I stood below the stage as my ears buzzed from the slap I just received, but I could still hear every word of Chloe's. The estranged parent group had been given basic survival requirements.My father was the first to react. He rushed up to Chloe and lowered his voice, "What are you doing? We nurtured and groomed you. How can you act crazy just like her?"Chloe lowered her eyes to look at him. "I'm not acting crazy." She pointed at the cameras below the stage. "This press conference is still being streamed."My father turned pale, and my mother's lips trembled. "Can't you tell that this is all to anger her?"Chloe nodded. "Every verbal promise has been recorded in the experiment as a behavior sample."Everyone below the stage took a sharp breath. My chest still felt tight, but my fingers started to clench.When I was young, my parents used to describe my crying as an emotional re

Chapter 6
My mother was still screaming as my father tried to block the screen. "This isn't true!" His voice was breaking, but he still tried to maintain the dignity of a professor. "Candice, how can you fake a video and edit it so maliciously by manipulating your grandmother just to get revenge on us?"I felt nauseous and wanted to throw up on them. I could taste the blood and bile in my mouth, but I could not say a word. Chloe spoke on my behalf. "The original video file was taken from your old video camera. The timestamp, numbering, and file saving path are all recorded."She clicked onto the next page, and the screen was filled with folders. [Sample A: Fussing and crying][Sample A: High fever][Sample A: Grandmother's disruption][Sample A: Social adaptation risk]Someone below the stage cursed in a low voice. I stared at those folders, feeling a chill run down my spine. These were all terms that I had seen before.When I was 15, I was lying in my room with a fever. My throat fel

Chapter 7
Everyone was waiting for my answer. My palms were sweating, and they throbbed with pain. I did not want to watch it. It was me at 18, and it was humiliating. It had been a horrible experience, and the memory of that living room only gave me chills. However, I nodded in the end. My voice was as rough as sandpaper. "Play it."The screen lit up, and I saw myself sitting at a table when I was 18 with an admissions letter in my hand. I was extremely thin then, and my school uniform sleeves were too short, revealing my thin wrists.My father pushed a document toward me. "Sign this, and we'll pay for your university."I lowered my head to look at the document header. 'Agreement to collect growth data.'I had to agree to let my parents use all of my recordings, medical records, academic results, and lifestyle records from childhood to adulthood for educational research, publications, talks, and courses. I shook my head. "This is my privacy."My mother smiled. "Your privacy? We gave yo

Chapter 8
My mother lunged at Chloe, almost clawing her sleeve. "Your grandmother left that for the family! What right do you have to take it out?"Her words nauseated me. Family? My mother still thought that the family could use what my grandmother left for me to keep me under control.Chloe evaded her and said in a calm voice. "Grandma's last will and testament clearly states that Candice Sullivan should inherit the bracelet."A picture of an old wooden box, red cloth, silver bracelet, and my grandmother's handwritten letter appeared on the screen. I started to tear up when I recognized her.When I was young, my grandmother was always worried that I was hungry, so she would always hide hard-boiled eggs in the pockets of her cotton jacket and secretly give them to me. The eggs felt warm in my palm, but I would never eat them right away. I would hold them in my hands until the eggshells were covered with my sweat.When my mother discovered what she did, she would berate her for influencin

The press conference was forced to stop, and my parents were escorted away to safety by the staff. My mother was still crying as she kept calling out my name, as if she finally remembered that she had another daughter. "I was wrong, Candice! Please don't let them investigate us."It felt like my feet were made of lead as I hugged the wooden box. Cameras were pointed at me, and everyone started asking me questions. Would I sue my parents? Would I accept Chloe's compensation? What did I think about the second stage of the experiment that would be conducted on my parents?Every question was like a sharp needle that poked at me until I went numb. Tina pushed the crowd away to run toward me and shield me behind her. "Stop pointing your cameras at her! Her face is still wounded!" She held my wrist, which warmed my heart.It was only then that I realized that my hands were trembling, causing the silver bracelet in the wooden box to rattle gently inside. Chloe stood not far away, but sh

Chapter 10
When the police arrived at the venue, the sun was almost up. I sat on the bench in the corridor of the police station, hugging my grandmother's wooden box. I was already wearing the silver bracelet. It felt cool and heavy on my wrist. Every time I looked down at it, I could feel my grandmother by my side, gently holding my hand.My parents were seated on the other side. My mother had been crying so hard the entire night that her eyes were swollen and she could hardly open them. My father's suit was crumpled, and his hair was a mess. His tie was loose, and he no longer looked anything like the expert who talked about 'changing one's destiny with education' on stage.When he saw me, my father said, "We did bring you up, after all, Candice."The cool feeling of the silver bracelet on my wrist kept my mind awake. "Grandma brought me up too."My father's face fell.Many things happened quickly after that. Their ‘Educators of the Year’ award was revoked, and their publications were take
