When Yi Jie got up, Yi Chen was already having breakfast in the living room with Song Ruojue.

Yi Chen was a very competent little master. He kept picking up food for Song Ruojue. Song Ruojue didn't refuse and ate it all.

Usually the one being fed experienced the joy of feeding others, so Yi Chen picked up more food. Yi Jie stopped him: "Chenchen, eat your breakfast well. You have already picked up enough. He won't be able to eat any more."

Yi Chen stopped what he was doing pitifully and started eating his breakfast.

Song Ruojue smiled and said, "Chenchen can pick up some food for me at noon."

"Okay!" Yi Chen's eyes lit up.

Yi Jie said with a headache: "Don't spoil him too much."

Song Ruojue shook his head slightly: "No."

Well, Zhou Yu fights Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.

After Zhang Peiyao sat down to eat, Yi Jie realized that although Song Ruojue was no longer as vigilant as last night, the resistance emanating from her bones could not be concealed.

"Xiao Jie, I'm going to take Chenchen to sign up for an interest class today. He's been clamoring to learn painting, and school is about to start, so I'll take him to see some. I'll also buy some clothes for Xiaojue. You'll have to take care of lunch by yourself." Zhang Peiyao was talking to Yi Jie about today's schedule while drinking porridge.

The mother and daughter had already discussed the matter of Yi Chen enrolling in interest classes. Yi Chen usually has too much energy during the holidays, so it would be good for him to learn something to enrich himself. He could just pick one subject and keep studying it.

Talent lies in quality rather than quantity. Yi Chen happens to be interested in painting, so let him try it.

"Okay, don't worry. You don't know your daughter's cooking skills yet, so let's just have a simple lunch." Yi Jie responded cheerfully. It happened that she had to deal with Song Ruojue's matters today.

Wait? Why is Song Ruojue trying to control his emotions again? He was seen clutching the bowl tightly, trying hard to stop the tears from falling. However, he buried his head in the food and concealed it well. Except for Yi Jie who was observing him carefully, no one else noticed.

Yi Chen said at this time: "Sister, don't be lazy and give brother snacks. He won't eat them. I forced them on him last night but he refused."

"Don't worry about it. Your sister doesn't need a little kid like you to teach her." Yi Jie pinched Yi Chen's ear and shook it fiercely.

"Hehe, I know." Yi Chen made a face at Yi Jie.

After Zhang Peiyao took Yi Chen out, Song Ruojue, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Don't let Chenchen go to the interest class."

Yi Jie was puzzled "Why?"

"I feel very unhappy and miserable when I attend interest classes." Song Ruojue held his head in his hands on the sofa, looking quite helpless.

Yi Jie pulled a chair over and sat down in front of him: "Although I don't know why you said that, I know you really want to do good for Chenchen. In that case, can you tell me about your experience? After I listen, I will decide whether to send Chenchen to interest classes."

Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. Yi Jie believed that with Song Ruojue's patience towards Yi Chen, he would be more willing to confide in her about the past.

"Really?" Song Ruojue asked Yi Jie anxiously.

"Yes." Yi Jie's attitude was very sincere.

Song Ruojue closed his eyes, as if he was lost in his memories. After a long time, he spoke.

……

The memories go back to 2001, when Song Ruojue was only 6 years old. He was originally as carefree as Yi Chen. Although his mother was strict with him, his father would always mediate between the two of them and would secretly take him out to play and eat delicious food. Overall, he lived a happy life.

until that day.

"How could you do such a disgusting thing? Who am I working hard for every day? Do you have any conscience?" Song Ruojue's mother Xu Pandi kept slapping his father Song Qinghe like a madman.

Song Qinghe did not resist at first because he felt guilty, but he was beaten so hard later that he couldn't help but push Xu Pandi away. Seeing Xu Pandi fall to the ground, he felt a little regretful and wanted to go forward to help her up.

Unexpectedly, Xu Pandi rushed over to attack him even more frantically, cursing him more viciously than before: "Song Qinghe, you will not have a good death, you and that little whore will go to hell!..."

Song Qinghe couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Xu Pandi in the face.

Xu Pandi was completely frozen in place; this was the first time he had taken action in their eight years of marriage.

"Don't you know why I'm like this? We've been married for so long, and I feel more and more suffocated when I'm with you. You always interfere with everything I do, and you cry and quarrel with me when something goes wrong.

You asked me to quit smoking and drinking, and I did. I also looked for a job according to your wishes and have been stuck in a crappy company for six years. I didn't want to flatter you, but you forced me to do it. You even didn't allow our good colleagues to go out for dinner after get off work, saying it was unnecessary interaction.

When Xiaojue grew up, you became even worse. As his father, I didn't even have the qualifications to discipline him in his studies. I had to get your permission to take him out to play or eat anything. Once you found out that I took him to do something secretly, you would make a scene. Which normal man can live in such a marriage? I'm not a saint. I've endured it for eight years, and it's over now."

Xu Pandi felt betrayed when she heard Song Qinghe's questioning. She yelled, "I did this for you! Why would I care about others? You are a piece of crap, so what's wrong with me caring about you? I am Xiaojue's mother, how can I harm him?"

"I know I can't make sense of you. If I could, the conflict would have been resolved long ago. I only blame myself for not getting out of it earlier. Now that Xiaojue is born, I am wronging him. If I can, I will fight for the custody of the child. Let's get a divorce in a few days. I won't be soft-hearted this time. You can do whatever you want."

Song Qinghe pried open Xu Pandi's hand that was tightly grasping his and walked out.

"Song Qinghe, you're dreaming! It's not easy for you to escape from me. And as for Xiaojue, it's impossible for you to get custody of him. Just wait, I won't let you have it easy!" Xu Pandi cried and screamed at the open door.

At this time, Song Ruojue was covering her ears with her little hands and crying loudly while sitting on the bed in the room.

In the following days, even though Xu Pandi made trouble and pestered Song Qinghe again and again, she was determined to divorce him. She even became more disgusted with Xu Pandi because of her unreasonable behavior.

After the divorce procedures were completed, the two went to court to fight for the custody of their child. Xu Pandi refused to give in and eventually won the custody of Song Ruojue.

During that time, Xu Pandi often hugged little Ruojue and cried, "My poor little Ruojue, you lost your father so early. Don't worry, mom will definitely train you to be the best person, so that your heartless father will regret it in his dreams, and let those who laugh at us open their dog eyes and see that we can live a good life."

Xu Pandi firmly believed in her own ideas. She had struggled hard to get out of a family that favored boys over girls, went to college, and after working, became a respected high school teacher. She married Song Qinghe, who came from a well-off family and was also very good to her.

She thought she could get through the hard times, but things are unpredictable. Even so! She has to cheer up. She still has a son, who is connected to her by blood and is 10,000 times more useful than her husband.

Little Ruojue's ignorant eyes reflected his mother's crying and laughing. He was very scared. At this moment, he didn't know what kind of life he would face in the future.

From then on, Xu Pandi devoted all her energy to her son, demanding the best from him in every aspect.

Of course, a child of such a young age could not stand her behavior. After crying and making a fuss, Xu Pandi would only comfort him and then continue to behave like this.

She even followed her son in learning everything, and followed all of Song Ruojue's requirements without any slack. She was very strict with herself in life, and prepared all the good things for Song Ruojue. Everything in the family was based on Song Ruojue.

Song Ruojue, a thirteen-year-old junior high school student, has become the other people's child in the eyes of all parents. He is like a puppet whose life is controlled by Xu Pandi.

If he refused to study, his mother would cry and slap herself, saying that she was useless and could not teach her son well.

If he is picky about food or secretly eats snacks from outside, his mother will buy a bunch of them and make him eat them in front of him, even if he vomits.

If he didn't get the ideal score on the test, his mother would stay up late with him to make a study plan, and make him do countless questions of the same type as the ones he got wrong, until he would never make mistakes again. If he showed some resistance, his mother would self-abuse in front of him.

……

This happened over and over again. At first, Song Ruojue was afraid of her mother's actions and would cry and shout to stop her, and then she would obey her mother obediently.

As it happened more and more often, he no longer felt any waves in his heart and would just obey her wishes.

Xu Pandi was very happy that her son was becoming more and more obedient, and the burden on him was getting heavier and heavier, all in the name of doing it for his own good. The warmest word in the world, "mother", was a terrifying existence for him that he dared not touch.

He had read about the process of taming wild animals in books, and he thought that he was now what was called taming, using love as a cage to imprison himself in this place without sunlight.

Song Ruojue had long been accustomed to living like this. There was no meaning in it anyway, although she would occasionally look at the flying birds outside the window and envy their freedom.

In high school, Song Ruojue studied in a class where his mother was the head teacher. The classmates in the class felt that the head teacher was too protective of Song Ruojue and would stay away from him.

There was only one female classmate who transferred to his school in the third year of high school, Shen Yingzi, who had a pair of dimples and a warm smile. She would secretly ask him questions, slip him small notes about class gossip, and occasionally prepare some snacks for him.

She was like a ray of light in Song Ruojue's dark life, making him unable to let go.

Unfortunately, this situation only lasted for less than a semester, and her mother discovered their secret. She found Shen Yingzi's parents and tried every means to make her drop out of school.

After learning the news, Song Ruojue and Xu Pandi had a quarrel that night. This was their first quarrel in many years, and Xu Pandi seemed as crazy as when they quarreled with her father.

She even took out a knife and cut herself, questioning herself whether she would betray herself for another bitch like her father did.

That was also the first time that Song Ruojue had a dark thought, that it would be great if his mother could really die. After regaining consciousness, he hated himself for having such a ridiculous thought and stopped his mother from self-harming. From that day on, Song Ruojue stopped talking to Xu Pandi, and the relationship between the mother and son reached a freezing point.

On the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Pandi was not at home, and Song Ruojue was doing his homework alone.

"Bang!" Pebbles knocked against his window. He looked downstairs curiously and saw Shen Yingzi's face. He ran downstairs and saw Shen Yingzi's red eyes. He didn't know what to say.

Shen Yingzi told him that she had dropped out of school and that no school was willing to accept students who had transferred or dropped out within a year. His parents were just ordinary migrant workers with no money and no power.

People nearby also pointed fingers at her for being expelled from No. 1 Middle School. Unable to bear this atmosphere, she decided to go out to work. Although Shen Yingzi said this to him with a smile, Song Ruojue's heart was still in a knot, and her chest was stuffy and she couldn't breathe. She had such good grades and was so kind, but it was all because of him! It was all because of him!

"You have to get into a good university for me. I hope you can be free one day. Goodbye."

The last words left by Shen Yingzi hit Song Ruojue's heart hard. The only person who brought him warmth also said goodbye to him. Regaining freedom? Does he deserve it? Thinking of his own situation, he felt extremely bitter. It was so uncomfortable to live.
