In the early hours of the morning, everything was quiet.

Yu Zerong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of panic.

He looked around in panic, and in the faint moonlight, he saw Jiang Mian sleeping beside him.

Yu Zerong breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

He gently held Jiang Mian in his arms and cried silently.

Those lost memories slowly returned to Yu Zerong's mind like a dream.

The blood splattered when the bullet pierced Jiang Mian's body still makes him feel a burning pain in his heart.

He thought with heartache, how could she, who was so small, dare to stand in front of him?

I actually forgot about Jiang Mian.

How sad must she have been during this period?

Yu Zerong hugged Jiang Mian tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his life.

The force was so strong that it made it difficult for Jiang Mian to breathe.

Jiang Mian was strangled awake by him. She was trapped in his arms and said in a muffled voice: "What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"

Yu Zerong was startled and immediately loosened his grip, but did not let her go.

Guilt and loss washed over him.

Jiang Mian noticed that Yu Zerong was acting so abnormally, so he reached out and patted his back soothingly.

Yu Zerong cried, "I'm sorry, Mianmian."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken you abroad and caused you to get hurt."

"It's all my fault. I forgot you when I woke up."

The two should have been crying with joy for surviving the disaster, but he forgot about her.

Jiang Mian was no longer sad, she gently stroked Yu Zerong's back.

Then, he suddenly leaned close to Yu Zerong's ear and whispered maliciously, "You're a little crybaby."

Jiang Mian had forgotten that she was crying. She even sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and leaned in to watch him cry.

Yu Zerong's eyes were suddenly pierced by the light. He covered his face and wiped away his tears, leaving only red eye sockets.

Jiang Mian came closer, kissed his face and said, "Don't be sad. I'm not happy to see you sad."

On the contrary, it seems like she is quite happy now.

Yu Zerong let her return to his arms and prevented her from seeing her face.

Seeing his rare vulnerability, Jiang Mian stopped bullying him and slowly played with his fingers.

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I discovered that he has a long scar on his index finger.

Jiang Mian was puzzled, "Is this the injury you sustained while we were abroad?"

Yu Zerong shook his head, "When I was a child."

This wound was obviously caused by a sharp weapon.

Jiang Mian looked at him and saw that he didn't look like he was fighting with anyone.

Jiang Mian said maliciously: "Could it be that it was because of your first love?"

Yu Zerong flatly denied, "You are my first love."

"This wound was accidentally inflicted by my mother when she was angry."

……

several years ago.

As usual, Yu Zerong walked into the house with his schoolbag on his back, then silently put the bag down, walked to where the violin was placed, picked up the violin and started practicing.

He was born with no interest in musical instruments, tunes, or music, and he knew very well that he had no talent for it.

However, Zhu Xinyue had an almost obsessive love for the violin and strongly demanded that he work hard to learn it well.

However, no matter how hard Yu Zerong tried to learn, he could never play the instrument well.

When the teacher was around, Zhu Xinyue would frown tightly, her face full of anger, but she would just look at him gloomily.

When the teacher is not around, she will lose her temper in an instant.

When Yu Zerong was a child, his biggest wish was to never touch the violin again when he grew up, and he also never wanted to see his mother again.

Because if he didn't play well, Zhu Xinyue would cry and curse heartbreakingly.

Finally one day, Yu Zerong couldn't stand it anymore. He sat at the dining table, his hands trembling slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, I don't want to learn the violin anymore."

After hearing this, Zhu Xinyue's face darkened instantly, and her eyes revealed anger. She pointed her finger at Yu Zerong and said sternly, "Put down your chopsticks, stand up, and stop eating."

Little Yu Zerong was very obedient. When his mother told him to stand up, he stood up slowly, lowered his head, and did not dare to look into his mother's eyes.

Zhu Xinyue glared at Yu Zerong and asked loudly, "Why do you always go against me?"

Yu Zerong shook his head slightly and said weakly, "No."

Zhu Xinyue pointed at the food on the table and said excitedly, "Isn't this soup your favorite? Why don't you drink it? And you still say you're not against me?"

Yu Zerong raised her head, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, and said calmly, "Mom, I never liked drinking this pigeon soup."

"I've told you so many times, Mom."

"I don't like practicing the violin either. I hate the violin."

Zhu Xinyue was completely enraged by his words. She stood up suddenly, her body trembling slightly with anger. She picked up the highball glass on the table and smashed it hard on the table.

Glass fragments flew everywhere instantly, and Yu Zerong almost instinctively stretched out his hands to block his face.

His face was intact, but the fragments cut his fingers and blood instantly flowed all over the floor.

Yu Zerong stared blankly at his bleeding fingers.

He didn't understand why his mother was so angry and why he could never satisfy her.

After Zhu Xinyue had her tantrum, she was also stunned by the scene before her.

She stared at Yu Zerong's bleeding finger in a daze, a panic expression on her face, and hurriedly frantically took out the medical kit.

Zhu Xinyue cried and apologized to Yu Zerong with a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, Mom shouldn't treat you so harshly."

Yu Zerong was already used to his mother's reactions. He just stared at the bleeding wound and asked, "Mom, can I stop practicing the violin from now on?"

Zhu Xinyue paused after hearing what he said, a complicated expression on her face. She then threw the medical kit back and said in a cold tone, "Stand here and reflect on this."

The wound was not treated in time and there is still a scar.

......

Jiang Mian looked at the scar on Yu Zerong's finger and gently stroked it with heartache.

She used to think that only poor families were full of pain, but she didn't expect that rich families were not much better.

Jiang Mian really felt that Yu Zerong's mother was a little neurotic.

She carefully considered her words, frowned, and spoke slowly, "Is your mother sick?"

Yu Zerong nodded slightly, "Is that so? But I was already studying abroad at that time."

He thought about it for a moment, frowning, "I think the doctor said it was depression, and then I saw a psychiatrist. I don't know what it was specifically."

"Why are you depressed?" Jiang Mian asked curiously.

Yu Zerong shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, my father didn't tell me."

"I haven't spoken to my mother much since I went abroad. I basically don't contact her at all."

Jiang Mian paused, a look of pity in his eyes, "But she loves you very much. I felt it today. She loves you very much."

Yu Zerong tilted his head to look at her. The pity in Jiang Mian's eyes was exactly the same as that of his mother.
