Zuo Yang saw the inner magical illusion deep in Chen Yi's heart, which was much clearer and more complicated than the one who saw that person before.

In that illusion, Zuo Yang saw several scenes as if he was watching the lantern:

(one)

A little girl with eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to Chen Yi, but only three or four years old was chasing a family of three not far away. It was a family of a couple and a boy slightly smaller than the little girl.

If you look closely, you will find that Chen Yi's facial features are similar to that of the family of three.

"Dad...Mom..."

The little girl shouted at them at the top of her lungs, but the couple turned a deaf ear to them. Their attention was all on the little boy, and their eyes were full of love.

The little girl's expression was particularly aggrieved, and tears were rolling in her eyes. She did not give up, kept shouting, and even ran to the front of the couple and the little boy. She turned around and called them: "Dad...Mom..."

The couple did not look up, nor did they react, and seemed to have completely lost their hearing.

They stuffed all the candies and toys in their hands into the little boy's arms. The little boy looked at the little girl proudly, threw the candy on the ground in front of her and shattered it, and then broke the toys and threw them at the little girl's feet... The couple just looked at the little boy lovely, and even showed an encouraging look.

"Dad...Mom..."

The crisp childish voice echoes in the illusion and never stops...

(two)

The little girl grew up a little and wore a bright red scarf.

She held a piece of paper in her hand with a few "100" that were brighter than the red scarf. This was her report card. She ran to the couple excitedly and shouted in an earnest and proud tone: "Dad...Mom... Look, I got 100 points!"

Perhaps she thought that if she got such a score, the couple would be able to look at her.

But the couple was like the first scene, and all their eyes were still concentrated on the little boy, as if she didn't exist at all.

Although the little boy's schoolbag also showed a corner of the transcript, the largest number on it was just a pitiful "22".

But they didn't care, and they still rubbed the little boy's head with love, constantly praising him for his intelligence, thinking that he had made progress compared to the last time, and personally promised to take him to the playground.

Then, they left without looking back, leaving only the little girl's thin back.

"Dad...Mom..."

The little girl's mouth gradually became weak, and her small back twitched slightly...

(three)

In a flash, the little girl had become a half-grown girl, very similar to Chen Yi now, but she still had a little childishness on her face.

The little boy also grew up to half a child, with long hair dyed into a dazzling red color, and a frivolous smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

The boy was holding a card with a dark red back in his hand, and he could clearly see the following sentences written in it: "Class Chen Yi, after review, you meet the admission requirements of our school and have been admitted as a student of journalism and communication. Please go to my admission office to complete the admission procedures according to regulations."

The boy blew his bangs, looked at her disdainfully, and said, "My parents said, "What kind of college do you go to like to lose money? You shouldn't even let you go to high school at the beginning. You should work at home early and find a man who can afford to pay for the bride money in two years. It's better than anything else."

"I am the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the county. I have scholarships given by the county government, so I don't have to spend my family's money."

Chen Yi struggled and said, tears rolling in her eyes, looking at the couple with a begging gaze, but there was still only a boy in their eyes, even though he was already a red hair.

"So what? My parents said, why do women need such a high diploma? Sooner or later, they will have to get married. If they get married, they will not be from the Chen family."

After saying this, the boy ignored Chen Yi's snatch and blocked her face to tear the admission notice into several pieces and threw it at her feet unreasonably.

"Dad...Mom..."

Chen Yi knelt on the ground, and she called the couple heartbrokenly, picking up fragments of the admission letter on the ground.

Then, the couple had already pulled the boy away without looking back.

Chen Yi posted the admission notice alone, but no one bid farewell, and there was almost no gift. She carried a shabby boy carrying a small schoolbag, and left step by step with the admission notice covered with rubber strips.

Every time she looked, she felt a little disappointed...

(Four)

Chen Yi finally became the current Chen Yi.

The boy still had long hair, but the red hair turned into yellow hair.

"I've made a woman's belly bigger. My parents told you to pay another 20,000 yuan tomorrow morning to pay the money."

The boy spoke to Chen Yi with confidence.

"Don't I pay 20,000 yuan to my house every month? I haven't saved it?... Can you wait any longer? It's not time to settle this month, and now the studio is not my own. I can't make any advance payments from it."

Chen Yi showed a hint of disgrace.

But more apologetic eyes were turned to the couple behind the boy who had gray hair but had never looked at her from beginning to end. Even in this illusion, they had never even said anything to her, and they could not hear what she said.

Only Chen Yi kept shouting: Dad...Mom...

"What's the point? You had dinner yesterday. Don't you have to eat today?"

The boy immediately showed a fierce expression and said angrily, "I tell you the money-losing goods. This is what parents mean. Also, my parents recently planned to find a rich family for you to get engaged. Our mother said that I am not young anymore. It is time to get married and inherit the Chen family's family. Now I'm waiting for you to marry and get back the bride money before I can do my business for me. Be prepared."

"My parents, I don't..."

Chen Yi kept shaking her head.

"Haha, you're not? You'll be content with your parents giving birth to you and raising you so old! Our parents told me in person that one of the things they regret most in their lives is that they gave birth to you as a money-losing guy. If they hadn't been able to choose at the beginning, they wouldn't have given birth to you no matter what they said."

The boy curled his lips disdainfully, turned around and held the couple's hand left and right, and the family of three happily walked towards the distance.

"No...My dad, this is not true..."

Chen Yi instantly lost all her strength and knelt on the ground limply. She had been enduring for many years and finally burst into tears.

"Dad...Mom...you can you look at me...you can say something to me...I am your child too..."

"I worked so hard just to tell you that I'm not a money-losing guy..."

"But why can't you see..."

"But why can't you hear it..."

"Just one glance..."

"Just one sentence..."

"Please..."

In the direction of the three of them leaving, Chen Yi's forehead was heavily on the ground, and tears in her eyes were thrown away, drawing a crystal arc in the air.

"Why!?"

"What did I do wrong!?"

...

"call!"

After browsing the magical realm of the ink painting thrush, Zuo Yang let out a long breath of turbid air to relieve the depression in his heart.

He hadn't experienced it, so naturally he could not imagine that the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls in this era is still so serious, and it happened to those around him.

This girl's life is much more painful than she imagined.

No wonder she has been in the studio for so long and has never heard her mention her family. Wang Ying, who is closest to her in the studio, also knows nothing about her family situation.

No wonder she has been running this studio for several years, but she is worried about moving the studio... That's because she has almost no savings...

This is her inner demon, this is her obsession, she just wants to get recognition from her parents, even if it is a positive look, a saying "You are not a loser" or "We are proud of having you as a daughter", this is enough.

But she never got it...

"Brother Yang, what are you thinking? Why did you get distracted when you see the boss lady hahaha."

Someone noticed Zuo Yang's strangeness, especially when he saw him staring at Chen Yi's face, he couldn't help but joke about him.

Since Zuo Yang sent Chen Yi to the hospital in the last time with a "princess hug", in the eyes of the studio, the two of them have already had a relationship that surpassed the boss's wife and the employees. What's more, Zuo Yang is now half of the boss of the studio. Therefore, some people are making this harmless joke.

“…”

When the boss's wife Chen Yi heard this, her pretty face turned slightly red and she quickly lowered her head.

Before Zuo Yang arrived, no one dared to make such jokes. After all, Chen Yi has always left them with a serious and rigorous image, and she is definitely not someone who can make such jokes easily.

Not to mention the shy attitude of revealing the little woman.

"What are you talking nonsense? With Zuo Yang's support, you even dare to make fun of the boss's wife, right?"

Wang Ying scolded righteously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he changed his mind and grabbed Chen Yi's arm and laughed: "Don't forget, even if Zuo Yang finally hugged the beauty, the boss's wife will still be the boss's wife. Zuo Yang still has to listen to her. Be careful to wear your shoes at that time, right, the boss's wife?"

“…”

Chen Yi didn't expect that her best friend would be like this, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

In a hurry, she looked up at Zuo Yang. Seeing that this guy was still staring at him at this moment, she glared at him, forcibly brought the topic aside, and said, "You just said, you are back now? Is it in our studio?"

"Um."

Zuo Yang nodded and smiled, "I just entered the door for a while."

"Why don't you notify me in advance? If you say in advance, we can prepare something, everyone can relax tonight... Have you had dinner?"

Chen Yi asked.
To be continued...
