escape the moon

Shen Yizhen returned to the mansion before dinner, and the tutor was teaching mathematics. Alice didn't like mathematics, so she sat upright and pretended to be engrossed.Because General Xiaoshan moved a chair and sat behind her, he looked a bit like a father who took his child to a cram school, but this father looked a little fierce, unknowingly thought he was here to trouble the teacher.

Seeing him come back, Xiaoshan joked: "I told you to go out for dinner, and you will come back with a disgruntled face?"

Shen Yizhen didn't want to say too much: "It's okay, the food is not tasty, so I won't go next time."

He smelled like a woman's perfume.Xiao Shan pretended he hadn't heard of it: "Okay, go up and change clothes and have a rest, let the kitchen cook something delicious tonight."

Shen Yizhen has no doubts about him.General Xiao stared at his back and sneered. Fangjiang Koizumi chose to go to the National Theater himself. He didn't threaten at all, but just provided an opportunity.Competition, isn't it just war, be a gentleman when you should be a gentleman, and be a villain when you should be a villain, otherwise, even if the moon explodes and humans move for the third time, Shen Yizhen will not be his.

After dinner, Xiaoshan hiccupped while picking his teeth: "There is something temporary. Tomorrow night is the mayor's daughter's birthday. Originally, he only invited me to go. I thought it would be impossible for the girl to be locked up in the mansion all the time. Children, at last It’s better to play more with your peers. You can come with her tomorrow too. Social skills also need to be cultivated.”

Shen Yizhen was very happy.Alice always wanted to go back to school normally, and she mentioned her former friends several times. Shen Yizhen relented and asked Xiaoshan to apply with Feng Jiling.Perhaps due to his special status, Feng Jiling did not allow it.I would rather have a high-priced private teacher to come to the official residence, and sometimes Xiaoshan has to watch and do homework in person, and the children are under a lot of pressure.

If you can take this opportunity to make two playmates, that would be a great thing.

The next day, after taking a nap, I started dressing up in the nursery.Makeup and hair combing, pearls and diamonds are dotted on the hair to make stars, butterflies and sequins are embroidered on the dress to make flowers, shining silver and charming.Hats, handkerchiefs, jewelry...the more cumbersome, the more precious. The suspenders are very thin, and they wear like a new layer of skin, white and shiny, like an artificial Snow White.The cherry purple gauze skirt outside was picked by Xiaoshan himself. The skirt is light and big, and the front is shortened so that it will not trip over even when running.The nanny helped the little girl to put on her shoes, the red lambskin shoes, and the white socks, which made the red color look brighter and brighter, as if she was about to eat someone.

The tailor kept praising her beauty, and even the nanny was dumbfounded. This is not a little girl, it is not an exaggeration to say she is a fairy boy.

But Shen Yizhen didn't like children dressed so exaggeratedly: "It's too extravagant."

Alice was a little out of breath from being strangled by the belt, her face was pale, and the makeup artist applied a thin layer of rouge to her face, even if she was no longer breathing, she couldn't tell.She felt that the belt made her heart beat fast, and she felt dizzy.The self in the mirror is completely different, she has never seen it before, like a princess in a foreign country, she can't remember what she looked like before.This is her dream dress, she has always wanted to wear this fluffy, gorgeous dress once, and God has finally fulfilled her wish, and it is much better than she imagined.

So she straightened up, trying to ignore the tormenting belt: "Brother, I think it's pretty good."

The three of them finally got into the car on time.The little girl was still looking in the mirror on the way. For the first time, she found that her nose was not very good-looking. The wood nestled in the face.After a while, she worried whether her skin was not white enough. After all, she had lived in the factory for so many years, and her skin still looked dull and yellow even after applying powder. If it was not white enough, the purple dress would look rustic .

She was a little nervous: "brother, do you think my nose is too big?"

Shen Yizhen took her as a joke: "How come? You are the most beautiful baby."

Alice was a little tired of hearing this, and no one said she was not beautiful.She knows she is beautiful.When she was in the factory in the second district, her appearance was one of the best. Since she was sensible, her mother hugged her for a walk in the factory yard, and people kept coming up to praise her for being cute. She was also invited to be the image ambassador of the school.

"When I grow up, if I am not beautiful, brother, will you still like me?" She asked.

Shen Yizhen was funny: "My little brain thinks about something all day long, why doesn't my brother like you?"

But she always acted like this on TV, a woman's beauty fades and she loses the love of men: "You don't understand, a woman's beauty will always fade."

She is only eight years old!Shen Yizhen and Xiaoshan looked at each other and laughed.

Finally arrived at the scene on time, a room full of children were all dressed up and looked presentable.They had just arrived, and there was a moment of silence in the banquet hall. Alice stood at the front, holding a huge gift box in her arms.Everyone was looking at her, some were whispering, some were envious, and some were amazed.

She tried to raise her head, showing a calm expression.

On the contrary, the district chief's daughter seemed very embarrassed, and stammered, "Hello."

Alice handed over the gift: "Happy birthday to you."

Birthday star unpacked it, and there was a rabbit doll inside. She liked it very much, and pulled this new friend over: "I'm making a hat for my doll. Come, let's do it together, and make one for the little rabbit." A child hurried to the front of the handicraft table.

There were a lot of complicated silk and satin scarves piled up on the crafting table, and the doll's hat was crooked and the brim couldn't close.Alice took the initiative to step forward and remove the cut piece of cut fabric: "I'll do it. You can't do this."

That momentum and demeanor were exactly the same as Xiao Shan's usual way of giving orders.

The children around the crafting table stopped to look at her. She reached out for a measuring ruler, and someone immediately handed it over. She measured the rabbit's head, compared the size on a piece of scrap material, and started cutting with scissors, without saying a word. Said, just keep your head down and work.Shen Yizhen was dumbfounded. He remembered that Alice was raised by a worker's family. She might have learned to sew and tailor clothes to help her mother with housework at home. On the contrary, the children of these dignitaries really don't touch their fingers, let alone make clothes. , may not even boil water.

Over there, Alice's smooth flow of water is simply performing, stitching and closing threads, trimming and buttoning, almost in one go.She put a pink triangular hat on the rabbit's head: "It's okay, I haven't done it for a while, it's a bit rusty."

Shen Yizhen laughed secretly when she heard this, and whispered to Xiaoshan: "Did you teach her? It's not good at such a young age."

Xiaoshan was very proud: "What's wrong? If it's really my daughter, none of the ones here are her opponents."

Alice was completely immersed in the long-lost happiness. Everyone rushed to make friends with her. They thought she was omnipotent. She also told the story of a little tadpole looking for her mother, which won applause from all the halls.Finally, she found a gap and took two bites of the cake that was given to her. A boy came over and introduced himself to her shyly, asking if she wanted to dance.

Her face immediately turned red, a little reluctantly.She hasn't danced with boys yet, and she can't dance at all.When she was nervous, she habitually went to find Shen Yizhen, but her elder brother Shen and uncle Xiao seemed to be having a good chat and completely ignored her.She thought, if it is always bad to reject someone in front of so many people, how will it end?Although she didn't like the boy very much, she agreed.

In the center of the living room is a backhand dance.Alice breathed a sigh of relief, she could still accept this kind of cheerful and lively group dance, but she didn't know if it was because of eating, the belt that made her feel breathless was tightened, and she felt a little nervous. Nausea.

The boy could see that she was uncomfortable: "Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

She shook her head and insisted on finishing the dance: "I'm fine, but this dress is too troublesome."

"This dress is beautiful," the boy whispered. "You are beautiful too. You are the prettiest of the girls."

Even though she knew she had rouge on her face, she was worried that people would find out because of her blush.

The little girl began to imitate the grown-up's tone of voice: "Don't make me happy, I know myself."

She left in a hurry after the dance, she had to go to the bathroom, or she might spit out the cake on the spot.

As soon as the compartment door was closed, she couldn't wait to remove the belt around her waist.Ladies came in one after another outside chatting and laughing——

"Look at the way she works, she is worthy of being a worker's daughter."

"Pretty is really beautiful, like a doll, it's pleasing to the eye even if you put it on display."

"Did you see her dancing with the son of the Secretary-General's family? Tsk tsk, she's young but capable."

"What are you talking about? How pitiful they lost their parents."

……

Alice tied the belt casually, but she didn't fully understand, were they complimenting her?But she also felt a little strange, she didn't think she was pitiful, although her parents were gone, but now she had Brother Shen, Uncle Xiao, she could go to school, she also had big skirts and countless toys, why did these people think she was pitiful? ?Did they not know that she had a good life?As long as she is willing to memorize manuscripts, smile at the camera, and talk to those reporters, she can have whatever she wants. Can they live this kind of life?

Subconsciously, she doesn't like the word "poor" very much. It seems that many people have said this to her. At first, she also felt that she was really "poor". She was very sad that she would never see her parents again, but The new life is not bad either.And many people have lost their parents, children like her age, they are really pitiful!

She was a little tired after playing all night. When she came out of the toilet, her head was dizzy and her feet were heavy.Those little red leather shoes didn't look good at all, they just felt cumbersome.

Shen Yizhen finally found her: "Where did you go? After searching for a long time, I thought you were lost."

There are people who want to dance with her, she shook her head: "Brother, the shoes are so hard to walk, I don't want to go."

Shen Yizhen declined the invitation and carried her to the balcony to breathe fresh air.Her forehead was covered with sweat, and her back was wet a lot. Shen Yizhen asked her to take off her shoes and sit on the railing of the balcony.She hugged his neck and refused to let go.

"Are you having fun?" Shen Yizhen likes her acting like a baby.

Alice nodded: "I was in the toilet just now, and some aunts praised me for my handwork and dancing."

Shen Yizhen thought it was the parents of other children who liked her: "Did you say thank you to Auntie?"

Alice lied guilty: "Yes. When are we going home? I want to go home."

Shen Yizhen wiped the sweat off her forehead: "We'll go back after your Uncle Xiao finishes talking with those uncles and aunts. Are you hungry? Can I bring you milk?"

The little girl couldn't wait for her Uncle Xiao, when Shen Yizhen came back from bringing her milk, she saw her sleeping soundly next to the pillar, with her mouth open so that the corners of her mouth were dripping with water.She couldn't remember how she got back in the end, and she didn't know the conversation between the two parents afterwards—

Shen Yizhen chatted with Xiaoshan: "Next time, don't let girls participate in this kind of activities. It's hard to get rid of the vanity that has been cultivated."

He could tell from the little girl's complacency that in Vanity Fair, this little lady was as good as the wind and the rain.Shen Yizhen wants her to make friends, but he doesn't want her to acquire the habit of being extravagant.

"Sooner or later, we can't escape." Xiaoshan handed over the cigarette case, but was rejected.

Shen Yizhen frowned and didn't say a word.He is not angry, but really worried.

Xiaoshan is not stupid, Alice can't hear the meaning in the adults' words, but he can feel it from the attitude of the guests.A girl from a worker's family, who ran into the circle of high society, no matter how beautifully she dresses up, she is just a doll in a glass window.They feel that the girl is poor, has no parents, and is fooled by vanity and adults, but on the other hand, they instinctively reject this foreigner, as if Alice's little feet in red shoes stepped into the living room, right here. A hole in the circle was opened, and from then on, any messy person could enter and leave the high society at will.

General Xiao miscalculated these so-called high-ranking people. Alice could not make "friends" here, but turned into a joke instead.But she couldn't go back to the civilian class, because people there thought she was "different".From the moment Alice was singled out to be the "National Daughter", this ending was doomed.

She is the child of all, but no "one" truly loves her.

Xiaoshan could only comfort himself: "Haven't you heard that a son is poor and his daughter is rich? One or two skirts, she can give her if she likes it, and it's not that she doesn't have the money. She's too picky, and her ambition is short. She will stand up in front of others in the future." If you can't stand up, it will be even more difficult for you."
