casual and fun

The most popular days of the video are the time when families visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival.Lin Li managed to hide it from her parents for half a year, but in the end she fell into the hands of her cousin who came to visit.

Everyone sat around a table to eat, and she said excitedly: "Sister, I watched the year-end summary video at station B, you are so cool! You look good, you dance well, you sing well, and What can't you?"

Lin Li pretended not to understand: "What video? I'm in my third year of high school, so I don't have the time to do this. I'll eat your meal."

The cousin took out her mobile phone and tuned the video: "That looks too much like you...Really, I'll show you!"

Lin Li's parents heard it, and asked them suspiciously what they were talking about. The cousin who just graduated from high school directly dragged the progress bar to the part of tonight, as if to get approval, pointing at Lin Li's close-up and asking everyone Elder: "It's really like my sister, right!"

Lin Li watched this video on the night of the first day of junior high school. She knew that there were scenes in it that her parents should never see, so she quickly reached out to stop it.

But she was a step too late, and her parents still saw the clip of her hanging Xie Chen's shoulders and interacting with him.

She already had a "conviction", no matter how Lin Li concealed it this time, it was still hard to be convincing.

After the guest left, the couple, who had endured all afternoon, lost their temper, pulled off her earrings, smashed her cosmetics, and confiscated her mobile phone, so that she would not go out to "seduce" men again.

Lin Li quarreled with them while covering her bleeding ears. Her parents couldn't quarrel, so she kept asking who the boy who was staring at her in the video was, and whether his parents knew about their son. So nasty outside.

Lin Li couldn't accept that they described Xie Chen so unbearably, so he sneered and sarcastically said: "The adulterer sees the adulterer."

The authority of the couple as parents was challenged, and they intensified their use of violence. First, they dropped her guitar, and then slapped her in the face, as if to put her in confinement and not allow her to communicate with the outside world.

Lin Li confronted them all night, exhausted, and asked, "The band has disbanded, what else do you want? Do you want me to die?"

Using the exact words they just said, she retorted: "Corpse will not mess with men and women, you can control it however you want, are you satisfied?"

Her father immediately kicked her on the side: "Give you face? We gave you your life. We are in charge of you. We don't want you to go astray. Instead, it's our fault? Lin Li, you Do you have a conscience?!"

Lin Li fell to the ground, endured the pain, and said flatly, "It's because I have a conscience that I never fight back."

What happened next was the same as before.

Parents began to cry about how much they had paid and given up for their children, and the bottom line return that children should repay was to keep themselves clean.It is better to concentrate on getting into a good university, study hard, and continue the glory of the family.

To deal with this kind of cliché, Lin Li has experience. It is not enough to turn a deaf ear to it, nor is it perfunctory. The only solution is to stay away.

She put on her schoolbag, planning to go back to school and stay until the college entrance examination with a meager savings, and then fly away.Her parents, however, mistakenly thought that she was going to find the boy in the video, so they teamed up to block her back into the room, and locked the door without protest.

This lock is ten days.

Lin Li has never been against herself. During the period of house arrest, eating, sleeping, and practicing kung fu were the same. Her parents went to work, and she could even stretch her muscles and dance in the living room to enjoy the fun that ballet brought her beyond utilitarianism.

Occasionally—only occasionally—I think about Xie Chen, think about tonight, think about their concentrating on rehearsing in the basement, think about their monthly dinner party, a lively scene.

That's fine, that's what memories are supposed to do.Lin Li gained peace from it.

Her parents hated her when they saw that she showed no remorse and looked radiant because she didn't have to do homework and go back to school early.

Reality and expectations ran counter to each other, the couple had no choice but to take advantage of Lin Li's "friend" to make an example of others, and take this opportunity to defeat them.

Lin Li didn't know about this, she was sure that her parents would find it embarrassing, and it was impossible to really trouble Xie Chen, so she didn't care much, and was still looking forward to the day when she would be released from the cage.

Unexpectedly, that evening, when they were sitting together for dinner in silence, her mother suddenly said, "The people in your band wrote me a letter of guarantee."

Lin Li thought she was just scaring herself, so she let out an indifferent oh, and continued to eat.After dinner, she went back to her room to read. After washing the dishes, her mother pushed the door open without knocking, threw three folded A4 papers in front of her, and ordered: "You also write a copy, and I promise you will be in school and at school." They keep their distance, and continue to shut up at home and think about their mistakes without writing."

Lin Li put down the book, randomly unfolded a piece of paper and glanced at it.

The whole page is full of reflections and apologies, saying that I shouldn't be obsessed with being in a band, I shouldn't coax my seniors into joining the band, I shouldn't be doing my job and thinking about playing all day long, I have failed my aunt's trust and caused a very bad influence, I am willing I accept all criticism and punishment, and I implore Auntie to forgive me.

Signed, Chen Nan.The date is today.

Lin Li felt that it was extremely absurd, so she sat up straight and unfolded the other two pieces of paper at once.

The content was the same as the first one, except that the signatures were changed to Xie Chen and Yang Sile.

She really didn't understand why they had to criticize themselves to her parents, why they had to be knocked down and admit unwarranted mistakes.Her parents are really kind. House arrest is not enough for their own children. They also want to exercise their parental privileges for others and force the younger generation to bow their heads to themselves.

Awesome, so awesome.

Lin Li was completely out of anger, and tore the paper to shreds in front of her mother.

These three self-criticisms will be her eternal shame, and every word burns her reason and her final expectations for her parents.

She stood up from the desk, walked up to this self-righteous adult, and said softly: "I don't write, and I will never write in my life."

One can imagine the consequences of being rude.

Lin Li had a few more injuries on her body, her face was also stained, and her eyes were swollen as high as her browbones.

Being beaten is not new, she endured it as usual and didn't make a sound, but when her father pressed her to the floor and threatened to slash her face and tear her mouth, she snatched the phone from his pocket with her backhand , dialed 110.

Her father was related to the police station, fearless, stepped on her hand calmly, crushed her fingers back and forth with the sole of a slipper, counted down to three, and ordered her to hang up the phone.

Fingers connected to heart, Lin Li couldn't bear the excruciating pain, lay on the ground and screamed, instinctively calling for help.Her mother sat on the sofa dignifiedly, watching quietly. Once an overly cruel scene appeared, she would look away, lower her head, pick up the teacup from the coffee table, and take a sip of tea. She didn't look back until Lin Li was tired. .

Lin Li didn't have time to mourn over this, she curled up and tried her best to resist the increasingly raging violence and protect her fragile stomach.She knew that when her father went crazy, he was disrespectful and merciless, and it was definitely not a joke to say that he wanted to slash her face.

The fear of being beaten to death brought her back from a desperate situation.

She struggled to get up, took advantage of the chaos and rushed to the corner of the living room, picked up a vase and broke it, picked up a piece of glass nearby and pointed it at her neck, called her father's full name, and said with a grim face: "You also go to jail Bar."

Her father stood by the tea table, looked at her calmly for a while, then kicked away the messy and blooming roses on the ground, slowly approached the corner, reached out and grabbed her hair, and brought her head to the marble. Material TV wall banged.

The cold and hot pain spread from the forehead, and Lin Li heard a heavy muffled sound, like a bell in a temple.It's just that the bell pestle that was supposed to hit the copper bell hit his own flesh and blood.

The sharp fragments in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into smaller dross, she no longer even had the right to threaten.

"Your life was given by me and your mother, have we allowed you to die?" Her father said.

Lin Li actually didn't want to die very much.She lay dizzily on the body of the vase, but she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

"Forbearance" is a knife hanging in the heart, and now the knife has finally fallen, cutting off the friendship and expectation of symbiosis with the blood.

In the middle of the night, the house was quiet, and the blood dried up.She fell on the bed covered in bruises, did not change her clothes, did not treat the wound, tilted her head in embarrassment, and stared numbly at the night sky outside the window.

There are no stars and no moon, only the wind blows.

The remains of the three pieces of paper were scattered all over the ground, and she thought of Xie Chen again.She was afraid that Xie Chen would follow in her footsteps, her beautiful fingers would no longer be able to play the piano, and tears would be left on her usually calm face.

If all this really happened, she would be pissed off first.

But now she doesn't have the strength to bring justice to Xie Chen. She is so tired and sleepy that she doesn't care about washing up, so she just closes her eyes and prepares to take a nap to regain her energy. She will run away from home early tomorrow morning and never come back.

Half asleep and half awake, there was a slight sharp sound from the glass window of the room.

Lin Li blinked tiredly, and almost fell asleep completely.

However, it was followed by another sound.

This time she saw it, the small stone fell on the windowsill and rolled several times.

Turn back, there is another chapter.
