There is light in the deep sea

That year, after being vacant for several years, the position of mistress of the Jiang family was suddenly filled by Lin Yi, which aroused amazement and suspicion from the outside world.

Although this woman is pretty, she is married and has children, which does not meet the standard of succession in the usual values; in terms of background, she is just an ordinary person, and cannot give Jiang Qinmao any career help.So no matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense for her to occupy this position. No one from the outside world or inside the Jiang family understands.

The dislike caused by not understanding started from the first day she entered Jiang's house.

At that time, she was an isolated island in Jiang's family.Jiang Qinmao returned to work half a month after her marriage, leaving her alone at home in Canada, where she had only three children.One obviously resists her, one has no attitude, one is aloof and depressed, she has no one to talk to.

One day, at a restaurant near her home, she met a young Chinese girl who was looking for a part-time job. The girl wanted to play the piano in the restaurant.At the request of the manager of the restaurant for a trial play, she played Ravel's "Water Play".But what the restaurant wanted was a Chopin nocturne, she said no, and was rejected on the spot.

How can someone be able to play "Water Play" but not any of the nocturnes?

Lin Yixin turned her head to look at her suspiciously, and was stunned after just one glance.This little girl looks so familiar, she is simply a young version of the posthumous photo that can be seen everywhere at home.

A bad, dangerous but lingering thought involuntarily came to her mind: If this little girl was brought back, would it affect at least one of the three hearts in the family?

After all, a child is a child. She has been a mother for so many years, can she still not see the weakness of the child?No matter what, bringing this little girl back will definitely bring about some reactions. Maybe there won't be good results at the beginning, but someone will soften after a long time.

She thought so, so she did.

The little girl she brought back was Zhang Jing.

Her first attempt was to have Zhang Jing replace Jiang Xichen's piano teacher.This is easy, because Jiang Xichen doesn't care who his piano teacher is, he can change it to any one.

Lin Yi carefully observed Jiang Xichen's reaction when he saw Zhang Jing.

This child has been immersed in his own world, silent and eccentric, good at hiding his emotions at a young age.Facing Zhang Jing, he just took one more look than he usually does when dealing with others, and after listening to Zhang Jing playing the piano, he asked her, "Why don't you play Mozart or Chopin?"

Zhang Jing replied: "I like Impressionism, they don't make sense."

Somehow, these words fit his boyish heart in the second year of middle school. After thinking about it for three seconds, he followed his stepmother's wishes and left him behind.

Even though he had already seen the intention of his stepmother - Lin Yi glanced at him and read it out, he understood everything; even, he subtly stood on the same front with her.

Therefore, Lin Yi succeeded in this first step.Although it didn't soften Jiang Xichen's heart in a "moving" way, but they did lose a layer of estrangement and a tacit understanding, and she was no longer a complete island.

In the days that followed, she also gradually understood Jiang Xichen's intentions.

Jiang Xichen, who seems not to care about the outside world, actually cares more about the atmosphere at home than anyone else.Because of his sensitivity, he has a clear insight into the emotions of everyone in this big house, and these emotions are also affecting and acting on him.

In his confiding to the family therapist, Hans, the molecules of the air in the home have shapes in his eyes.

Whenever the eldest brother Jiang Dongwei is angry and disgusted with Lin Yi, these molecules will grow thorns, like a virus under a microscope; whenever the stepmother Lin Yi is sad and depressed, these molecules will turn a sour green color; more often, no one in the family will respond Who, these molecules are cold and hard, as if condensed it is the severe winter of the Great Lakes.

As Jiang Dongwei's identity as the eldest son of Jiang, he naturally stands as the leader of the family atmosphere.In Jiang Xichen's eyes, it means that the eldest brother controls the shape and color of the air molecules in the house.

He was born in summer and is afraid of the cold. He wants the house to be warmer.Therefore, he silently reached the same goal with Lin Yi - to use this girl who looks like his biological mother to influence Jiang Dongwei.

However, in the end, he almost put himself and Jiang Dongwei together.

Zhang Jing is not a simple little girl. She just passed her birthday that year, and she has already traveled half of Europe alone in the form of a study tour. She was also reported by the domestic media as a special case of educational success. She can be described as a strange woman.

With her independent personality, rich experience, and powerful psychological practical ability—perhaps with that face that resembles the mother of the Jiang brothers—the strange woman gained Jiang Xichen's friendship within a month.

In this regard, Hans, a long-term family psychologist, seemed quite resentful.

This is manifested in the sudden acceleration of his speech: "Zhang Jing gives Xiaochen two hours of piano lessons every day. There is an independent piano room with few piano sounds and a lot of laughter. I remember that once I came here as a routine I gave Xiaochen a consultation, and when I passed the piano room, I heard his laughter. I was shocked. I have been their family psychologist for so long, and this is the first time I have heard his laughter like that.”

There is no doubt that Zhang Jing has the secret to making Jiang Xichen happy, and they have even traveled together.And that trip was arranged by Jiang Dongwei, and he accompanied him in the end. The three of them played in the Great Lakes for a full month.

When they came back, everyone found that Jiang Dongwei was obviously different from before.There is a gentle breath about him, commonly known as the breath of love.He had a story with Zhang Jing.

Jiang Xichen was different, he alienated his elder brother, and approached his stepmother whom he hated like confrontation.The air pattern in the big house of the Jiang family has fundamentally changed, and the cold and hard elements come from the two brothers.

The warming up that Jiang Xichen had hoped for did not materialize, and instead became colder.

However, he is used to whitewashing himself, and he secretly stuffed himself with inexplicable anger, contradictions, disappointments, and self-questioning. On the surface, he still looks the same as the melancholy fart who was immersed in himself before.At first, no one noticed, but later it was Xun and Lin Yi who noticed his mistake.

"Before the trip to the Great Lakes, Xiaochen and Zhang Jing got close. He was always in a happy and open mood, and he was in a very good condition, so I didn't consult him for a while. After my wife suddenly called me over, I quickly discovered his crux." Hans said At this point, that helpless smile appeared on his face again, with some inexplicable pity in his expression.

"The young master had feelings for Zhang Jing, and he was very angry. He felt that the young master's mentality was no different from incest, and even thought that the young master had defiled their mother mentally—that is to say, he admitted that his subconscious There is a shadow of treating Zhang Jing as his mother. It is also because of his latent psychology that he feels that the young master's monopoly on Zhang Jing is a deprivation of his power. After all, who would like a brother to monopolize his mother, right?"

Hans turned his head: "Mr. Xie, can you understand this?"

Xie Wu nodded silently.

He understood that Jiang Xichen was not only angry that his elder brother had a relationship with a person who represented the shadow of his mother, but also angry that his elder brother monopolized this shadow.He is attached to Zhang Jing.But... Xie Wu carefully tasted his understanding of Jiang Xichen in his heart, and speculated on a possibility: Jiang Xichen was ashamed to admit this attachment.

What does it mean to be attached to a shadow?It means that someone can replace the mother, and it means that he betrays the mother.

He is ashamed to admit that he betrayed his mother.

Human psychology is too complicated. When contradictions and knots appear at the same time, if they cannot be untied and cleared in time, they will accumulate.The deep pits pressed out by this kind of sedimentation will be the shadow of the future.Even after things have passed, looking back at the contradictions and knots at that time, it seems insignificant or even ridiculous, and the shadow left by it at the beginning will still not disappear.

What's more, at that time, he did some things to break the jar because of the anger in his stomach.

"I still think that Xiaochen is the most sensitive person in the Jiang family. He knows everyone's secrets, including his second brother who is deeply hidden—Master Xun, who loves the young master. He is in front of everyone. Spread the deep-buried thoughts of Master Xun under the sun. Heh."

Hans shook his head as he spoke, sighing with regret: "I think I'm good at judging people, but I haven't noticed the feeling of Master Xun at all, but he can see it clearly. Master Xun is so impermeable." People, he has nothing to hide in a few words, and there is no excuse or refutation."

Xie Wu was also taken aback.According to the genetics of sexual orientation, even if some of the three brothers still like minorities, it should be the Jiang family's own blood. How did it get to the adopted one?

"And then?" He asked perfunctorily.While speaking, I already understood what happened next in my heart.This is really too simple, as long as it is combined with the current situation, the result of the original treatment will naturally be clear.

Hans said: "Zhang Jing left the eldest young master, and soon left Canada, and the family returned to the way it used to be. Of course, it can't really be the same as before. Everyone's position and mentality have changed. In Xiaochen's words To describe it, the air molecules in the home have all calmed down, without the sharp spikes of the virus, nor the coldness of confrontation and disgust, it is very flat.”

Xie Wu: "Does he like it?"

Hans was puzzled for a moment: "What?"

Xie Wu: "Does he like this kind of peace?"

"Oh." Hans understood, "Do you like it? I don't know, but I don't want to change it as much as I used to. However, the young master went to the United States to study the next year, and then Master Xun followed. Leave him and his wife. Well... By the way, that's when you appeared on stage."

"Me?!" Xie Wu was startled.

Hans nodded: "Yes, it's you." He smiled, his eyes suddenly became softer, and his tone was long and full of emotion, as if the elders entrusted the children to belong, "I have already told you what I should say, and I will tell you one more thing. Xiaochen should I told you that he has a good relationship with his wife, but he may not have said why."

Why?Xie Wu couldn't help but secretly asked.

"That's because Madam brought you in front of him. It just so happened that I was right there when Madam showed him your video for the first time. This time, I am sure of my eyesight—he From the first time I saw you on the screen, something went wrong in my heart."

Xie Wu: "..."

After pondering for a moment, he asked solemnly, "What video were you watching at that time?"

Hans: "It seems to be a part of a drama. You act as a singer, and your appearance is very beautiful... What's the matter? You don't seem to want to mention this work?"

Xie Wu: "..."

Of course I don't want to mention black history.
