Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"Did you see it? That is the No. [-] scholar in this year's gold list. He has been rewarded by the emperor, and he is about to become a high official!"

"Look at Zhuangyuan Lang, he is really good-looking. I don't know whose family's girl will be lucky enough to be his wife in the future!"

"Oh, the number one in high school, that will make my baby happy, maybe he will be the number one in the next year!"

I don't know which aunt said it happily, and the crowd burst into laughter: "That's not the case, Liu Niang, your good son was born in Hualou. To put it bluntly, I don't know who the father is."

"Thanks to the clerk who never gave up and redeemed your mother and son to become children. Not only did you not appreciate it, but you also offended the rightful master of the family. You were kicked out within two days. Life is so hard that you can't even eat What kind of books are you paying for him to read? It’s better to be a long-term worker for a rich family and eat hard food, but you won’t die of hunger.”

Liu Niang is usually kind to others and gets along well with the wives in the neighborhood, but there is no guarantee that no one will look down on her slave origin, and will always insult her along with her son. This makes her sad and humiliated, and fled the crowd in despair.

She didn't know that at this time, her only son was standing on the corner of the street, watching everything that happened without saying a word, gritted his teeth, turned and left.

He also wanted to go to high school and rely on his talent to turn himself into a master, but the road to success was too narrow. Seeing that those who squeezed into the road to fame were all the sons and daughters of prominent officials, he felt dissatisfied and wanted to bear the humiliation to get close to them. The master didn't bother to talk to him again, even asking him to lift his shoes made his feet dirty.

Maybe it will be like this for the rest of my life...

Si Ye was walking down the street in a daze, not knowing where to go, he didn't want to go back to the "home" where the walls were leaking and his mother kept putting pressure on him, and he didn't want to show off and be a laughing stock for others.

"I didn't even know where I was going to run away, and it really failed..."

He muttered to himself, and suddenly heard someone talking nearby: "Run away? Why did you run away? I didn't even run away. You are young, so stop thinking about it."

A good-looking young man was sitting on the wall not far from him, clasping his hands in front of him, something interesting seemed to be hidden in his palms.

When he saw Si Ye, he jumped down. With his hands folded in front of him, it was difficult to keep his balance. He accidentally hurt his foot, grinning his teeth in pain for a long time before he came forward.

He circled around Si Ye, looked him up and down from head to toe, a pair of dark and deep eyes seemed to be able to see into his heart at a glance, stopped in front of him, and blinked at him.

"You know what to do, even if you are in a hurry, you know where your path is, and you don't need others to point you out."

"You...you think you know something, and dare to point fingers!"

"I know what you lack the most. Money and power are only second. What you need most is actually this."

The young man stretched out his clasped hands to Si Ye, as if he wanted to give him the hidden object. Si Ye subconsciously took it, and imitated the young man's way of clasping his palms. He felt... ...the tactile sensation of something moving in the palm, it's a living thing!

"Don't rush to look. After you go back, you can enjoy this beauty to yourself." The young man let go of his hand, looking extraordinarily relaxed, patted his shoulder, and walked away bouncing.

After taking a few steps, he stopped again, turned his head, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture, "But, don't forget to put it back, remember, all good things can only be Don't be a greedy person when you have a monopoly."

Si Ye didn't remember how he got home, maybe he kept clasping his hands and holding his arms deadlocked, and he was met with weird and curious looks along the way.

But he didn't care, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to find out what that person had given him, so he couldn't wait to enter the bedroom, closed the door, and let go.

He was too nervous, a thin layer of sweat formed on the palm of his hand, and it stuck to the thing's wings, rubbing off a piece of scale powder. Although he could no longer fly, he could still feel the beauty of that different vulgar thing...

——It was a butterfly with black and blue wings, lying in his palm, there was a gap in the trembling wings, and the six legs hugged his fingers tightly, as if begging humblely.

Beautiful... indeed beautiful.

The life of insects is short, and after being tortured by Wuxin, the lifespan of the butterfly has come to an end. Before that night, it died in the pitch-black crock.

"I didn't want to imprison it, I just wanted to heal its wound."

Feeling guilty, Si Ye defended himself, reluctantly buried the butterfly in the backyard, and this memory came to an end for a short time.

When the continuation was played, it was half a year later. After spending all his money, he finally stood out in the imperial examination and won a place in Dali Temple.

He saw the young man who gave him the concept of "beauty" again, and knew his name, Lin Xici.

That man is still young and good-looking. Looking back, he was instructed by the champion at the beginning, so that he could choose the right path. With today's achievements, he was involuntarily attracted by the dazzling brilliance, like a moth to a flame. The same approached that person.

He asked cautiously: "You...do you still remember me? Last year, you, you gave me a butterfly...butterfly."

He thought that such an outstanding person should be because the nobles forget things too much, but he didn't want Lin Xici to look at him and just recalled it for a moment, and soon showed a smile: "I remember, the black and blue butterfly is smaller than a palm, but it is very beautiful .”

"Sorry, I couldn't take care of it, it didn't live until the next day..."

"Is it still like this?" The man sighed, "When I met it, it only had one breath left. It didn't mean to make you bear the burden of death, but I just hope that it can be able to bear the burden of death at the end of its life." Giving you hope to persevere... sorry, I was being smart."

"No, without you, I would have died long ago."

Lin Xici didn't understand what he said at the time, until three years later, after Si Ye's mother died of illness, a family tragedy shocked the whole capital. Let it go, the murderer frantically twisted and tied the corpses of the deceased into a kneeling position with ropes, and placed them in a row by the wall, just like prisoners waiting to be executed.

This case alarmed Lin Xici. At that time, he discovered the flaws in Si Ye's personality. Due to the fact that his methods of committing the crime were extremely clever, without leaving any evidence, he could not be convicted, so he could only limit his authority in all aspects. , so as not to cause a greater tragedy.

The reason why he was not dismissed was that Lin Xici knew that he would commit the same crime against Mr. Chen and his only son in the near future, so he was not qualified to stand on the moral high ground to accuse Si Ye of his transgressions.

Regarding Lin Xici's actions, Si Ye was puzzled. He had always respected and loved him, and did not expect a response. He only hoped to be satisfied by leaving a place by that person's side. Such a humble wish turned out to be an extravagant wish. Why did he give it to him? I hope, but let him fall into the ice cave and feel the boundless despair and loneliness?

He was puzzled, and the more confused he was, the more he missed the butterfly that stayed at his fingertips. He began to search everywhere for rare treasures that people have given the concept of "beauty". He has touched the colorful sparrow feathers, but those vulgar things are no better than the butterfly in his heart after all, so he began to think of ways to create the beauty he was looking for in his heart.

The first thing he did was the victims who died tragically in the Miemen case. He dug up their corpses, burned the flesh and blood of the corpses, and left only a white bone that could last for thousands of years. All kinds of postures are scary and frightening in the eyes of others, but they can only please him.

He is content, he is happy.

But everything about him was seen by that person.

It was the seventh month after the Dongchuang incident, Lin Xici's condition had just improved, and he came to see him alone on a quiet spring night.

The man said: "Si Ye, if I knew that my unintentional words back then would bring you to this point, I would rather never have seen you from the beginning. Your crimes are too deep to be written. If you can't stop your harmful actions, even if you work hard If you die, I must stop you!"

"Where's the evidence?"

During the few years he worked in Dali Temple, Si Ye had already cultivated his calmness. He said with a smile, "Everything must be proved. If Mr. Lin slanders people's innocence for no reason, we must give a reasonable explanation. There is solid evidence to convict me, even if I was pushed to the guillotine to pay my life."

"If you would keep that kind of thing, then the person standing here to convince you at this moment will not be me." Lin Xici sighed, "I think I have always had a good eye for people, and I can tell who this person is at a glance. Where should the talent go, but for you, I have given my sincerity by mistake, I shouldn't pay too much attention to talent, before you become an official, you should first learn to be a human being!"

"So, is this the reason why you abandoned me?" Si Ye looked down at his thin hands with protruding knuckles, and rubbed his fingertips playfully, as if he could still feel the scales on the butterfly's wings rubbing against his hands smooth touch.

He couldn't tolerate abandonment and betrayal. The officer who saved him from poverty and lowliness, and then pushed him into the abyss in an instant, and the mother who seemed gentle and kind, but made his childhood extremely depressing. There is the butterfly that guides his way forward.

The person in front of him is no different from a butterfly, and he also redeemed his life that was about to go astray, but when he believed the illusion to be true, it made him fall into boundless despair.

He wants to make him pay the price, he wants to keep him by his side forever, and illuminate his future life.

He doesn't want to let him go, let alone let anyone own him, he wants to monopolize... yes, monopoly!

He wants to let him belong to him, and only to himself, no one can take him away, not even the emperor!

But in the final analysis, Si Ye is just a small minister of Dali Temple with limited powers, let alone competing with Xianzong, there is only one way to keep Lin Xici by his side forever.

Therefore, he went crazy and wanted to make Lin Xi Ci into his collection.

The author has something to say: Mr. Lin is merciful everywhere (not

This shows that Si Ye's feelings for Daddy Lin are really complicated. He is very grateful to the benefactor who saved him from suicide, gave him hope of living, and gave him a bright future, but because of gradually becoming paranoid, Psychopaths distort this feeling. When Daddy Lin found out about his crime and wanted to stop him, he felt betrayed by his benefactor and abandoned by someone he respected. In desperation, he wanted to kill that person completely. Stay by your side, even if it becomes one of his collections.

I think Si Ye is a pervert who only has love feelings with corpses, so his attachment to Daddy Lin is not love, but a perverted paranoia.
