Aristocrat Boys School

Jian Chi struggled to open his eyes, and the endless, borderless white reminded him of the weirdness around him.He tried to speak, but he couldn't feel the existence of his body, lips and tongue. His soul seemed to have left his body and came to an unknown realm.

Where is this place?

Jian Chi recalled everything that happened before the loss of consciousness - the dance party, the strange words he had with Ji Huaisi and Bai Xiyu, and then the car accident, Ji Huaisi, Ji Huaisi... the car accident.

There was a tingling pain in his temple, and Jian Chi felt that he was covering it with his hands, but in fact he didn't make any movements, and the feeling all came from the illusion of thinking.This kind of weirdness swept over Jian Chi, and he wanted to cry out loudly to break this terrifyingly silent space.

"I am here."

A man came from nowhere in the pure white field, with long narrow eyes, a familiar face, and his hands leisurely in the pockets of his white coat. Jian Chi almost called out the name 'Qin Chuxu'—he called out .

"Qin Chuxu."

Qin Chuxu repeated it again, comfortingly: "I'm here."

Jian Chi found that he could speak, and knew without thinking that it must have something to do with Qin Chuxu's appearance, and asked impatiently, "Where is this place? I remember I had a car accident with Ji Huaisi, why am I here? Ji Where's Wise, is he alright?"

"You have too many questions and time is limited. I can only tell you what I know," Qin Chuxu snapped his fingers, "You will understand everything after I finish."

Qin Chuxu's words brought a certain degree of peace of mind, and Jian Chi knew that he would leave here soon, so he slowed down his speech: "I only ask one question, did the car accident really happen?"

My heart sank.

Qin Chuxu continued: "You will be fine, and Ji Huaisi will be fine. This incident exceeded my expectations. The story has been completely changed. Logically speaking, this car accident should not have happened."

Jane Chi originally thought so too.

The butterfly effect he brought changed everything, except that Ji Weisi could not escape this ending.

"It's Bai Shuyun," Jian Chi breathed slowly, "His target is me, and I got Ji Weisi involved."

"Are you going to start blaming yourself?"

There was comfort and a hint of complexity in the rhetorical question, Qin Chuxu slowly tightened his hands in his pockets, and was silent for a few seconds, "Jian Chi, I originally planned to leave, the work here has been completed, and no matter what happens in the future, it is not in my hands." Within the jurisdiction, now is the best time for me to leave, but at this juncture, an accident happened." Qin Chuxu laughed, mocking his bad luck.

Jian Chi faintly heard something unusual.

Qin Chuxu suddenly asked: "When you first heard the whole story, what was your biggest question?"

Without any thought, Jian Chi replied almost subconsciously: "That car accident."

"There's one thing I shouldn't have told you, and never meant to tell you, but now I think you need to know."

Qin Chuxu's voice pulled Jian Chi's heart down in an unknown direction.

"The story you see is not the complete story."

Jian Chi felt a kind of confusion that was more blank than this space overwhelmed him, and his thoughts froze in place.

"What is it called..."

Qin Chuxu walked towards him, even though he couldn't feel the reality, Jian Chi still knew that he was getting closer and closer to him, so close that he could touch him just by raising his hand.

"Sometimes the truth is crueler than what you see."

When Qin Chuxu finished speaking in a low voice, Jian Chi felt a familiar flash, just like the grotesque dream he had in the infirmary for the first time, he lost consciousness again and fell into a combination of fantasy and reality into the net.

Jian Chi saw Bai Xiyu.

It wasn't the text in the book, it wasn't Sanston's background, he came to Jiangcheng, a small backward county, in a dilapidated old-fashioned rented house, there was a beautiful but poor woman with a young child, that was the former Bai Xiyu.

This is a 'dream' from Bai Xiyu's perspective, not the Bai Xiyu in the book, but the real Bai Xiyu he knows.

Everything was even scarier than Jane Chi imagined.

After giving birth to Bai Xiyu, maybe because of the stimulation of motherhood in her bones, or because she really realized her past mistakes, Yu Li began to look for a job, learn to be a competent mother, and maintain the family's livelihood.However, this situation only lasted for two years. She once again chose to sell herself, and exchanged her body for expensive leather bags, house rent, and her drinking money.After squandering everything, he will squeeze out the milk powder and baby products that Bai Xiyu needs.

Yu Li still felt guilty at the beginning. Whenever she woke up drunk, she looked at Bai Xiyu who was crying because of starvation in the crib. She prepared milk powder in a panic and shed tears while feeding it. Not once did it change.It was here that Bai Xiyu's stature, which never grew taller, began.

I don't know if it's the child or life, or the pressure from both gradually destroyed Yu Li's nerves. Ever since Bai Xiyu could remember, his mother was a moody person who often beat him for no reason and apologized for no reason, and was hated by the neighbors woman, a madman.

Bai Xiyu, who grew up in such an environment, was destined to have an unfortunate childhood.The county town is very small and no one can hide secrets. His classmates nicknamed him 'Little Crazy' because his mother was a big lunatic.Bai Xiyu often lost things, and his classmates often damaged books and pens. Every time he went to the teacher, the teacher only comforted him and said nothing.Until one time Bai Xiyu heard the teacher sitting in the office talking about his mother to others, saying "that crazy woman" in a contemptuous and pitiful tone, Bai Xiyu never entered the office again.

Since junior high school, people around have gradually understood the difference between beauty and ugliness, and Bai Xiyu's delicate facial features have gradually grown. This may be the only gift he got from his mother.When the neighbors saw him, there was less strange eyes and more sympathy—how could such a good child have such a bad mother?Bai Xiyu knew what they would think every time they saw him.

The first time she realized the advantages of good looks was when Yu Li locked the door of her house when she was drunk, and Bai Xiyu who came home from school could only sit at the entrance of the corridor and suffer from hunger.The neighbor happened to come up with vegetables, and Bai Xiyu had never spoken to her before, but this time, he suddenly remembered that his mother had said that he had beautiful eyes, just like her when he was young.

So Bai Xiyu raised her eyes filled with tears, and begged in a trembling voice: "Auntie, can I come to your house for dinner? My mother won't let me in."

The neighbor brought him into his house, and this was the first time Bai Xiyu had a hot dinner.

Since then, Bai Xiyu has learned how to get what she wants in a way that doesn't make people annoying, which angle is the best when crying, and what kind of words can make people feel softer.He has friends at school, and even if he is bullied, there are people who are willing to stand up for him. The neighbors around him commented on him from 'silence', 'a pity', to 'his mother delayed this good boy'.Bai Xiyu never took Yu Li's money again, because the neighbor was willing to give Bai Xiyu his son's old clothes and books, and often let him eat together.

Bai Xiyu told himself that enough was enough, he got what he wanted most now - attention and love from others.But when he saw the old photo that Yu Li locked in the drawer, another voice told Bai Xiyu: It's not enough.

At the age of 17, Bai Xiyu knew about her life experience.Yu Li drank too much that day, vomited and diarrhea on the toilet, and Bai Xiyu could only clean up the mess while taking care of her drunk mother.Yu Li didn't know what came to mind, she laughed strangely, and suddenly covered her face and started crying, crying louder and louder, every sound was like scratching a fingernail on a blackboard, Bai Xiyu didn't feel anything, he was used to seeing this scene.

"Why am I so stupid, why am I so stupid... He ruined me, if it wasn't for him..."

Bai Xiyu knew that this 'he' was his father.He had been curious, asked and begged, but Yu Li was still unwilling to tell him.Bai Xiyu looked at his mother who was dazzled by crying, and squatted down, "The floor is cold, may I take you to bed?"

Yu Li shrugged her shoulders, tears made her fine lined face look even older, and she no longer saw the beauty of her youth, "He was very good to me, you know? At that time I kept lying to myself that he promised to divorce Marry me, I believe it. I was too greedy, I wanted his love and his money, but he didn't give me anything, nothing..."

Knowing that his mother would not listen to his words at this time, Bai Xiyu leaned over and picked her up and put her on the bed in the bedroom, gently pressing the corner of the quilt.Yu Li was still crying and talking nonsense, and waving her hands hit the half-open drawer beside the bed. Bai Xiyu wanted to close it, but suddenly remembered that this place was always locked firmly with a lock.

For Bai Xiyu that night, he opened Pandora's box.

Inside is a photo of Bai Shengying, and a token of love that Bai Shengying gave Yu Li, a gemstone ring.Until the most embarrassing time in life, she was not cheated by Yu Li.What made Bai Xiyu understand everything was the diary and letters under the ring, all from his mother, writing about her love and resentment towards Bai Shengying over the years.

Bai Xiyu has heard of Bai Shengying's name, a successful entrepreneur living in the TV media and the people around him.

After 17 years of silence, his world shone a faint light for the first time.

Bai Xiyu put everything back in its original place, closed the drawer, and went back to her room. It was as if nothing had happened, and life continued.

On an ordinary morning, Bai Xiyu went out to buy breakfast as usual. He still remembered buying a cup of soy milk and two sugar packets. Apart from wine, Yu Li likes sweets the most.He took out a bottle of disinfectant from the cupboard, unscrewed the lid through a napkin, pressed his fingerprints on it with Yu Li's finger in his sleep, and put the disinfectant in the middle of the bottle, at the place closest to Yu Li. Make it easy for her to get.

After finishing all this, Bai Xiyu returned to the bedroom and placed a kiss on Yu Li's forehead.

This is the last memory of his mother.
