Chapter 16 Big Skirt

Life was hard for Xiaoshan, and it was the same for Alice.

Her patience is limited, Shen Yizhen's absence is like corn kernels in a hot pan, which may explode at any time.Both the nurse and the governess became wary of offending the national daughter.It doesn't matter if the president is unhappy now, as long as the national daughter is willing to show a smiling face, there is still hope for this country.

The media propaganda spread out one after another, and the little girl got used to the life of wearing big skirts and pearls and diamonds every day.

She now has a fashion sense of her own and knows what to wear for a themed occasion.Sometimes she will participate in the design of the stylist's scheme, and choose decently among those ribbons, artificial yarns, and imitation silks that look similar.She likes to let the tailor pile all the fabrics in front of her, and let her sit in a big pile of cold, airy fabrics, gold sprinkles, embroidery, polka dots, stripes, luminescence, obscurity... flowers There are all kinds of dazzling styles.She will choose a match at random, and when she’s done playing and tired, she asks the nanny to bring a glass of pear juice, lies on a soft chair and closes her eyes, and lets the make-up artist do tricks on her face, she doesn’t have to worry about how she looks All she had to say was, "Let's do something fancy."

She likes to see herself in different ways. If it weren't for the pair of pupils that couldn't be taken off, she would have liked to have two rainbow-colored eyeballs.If you are in a good mood today, it will be red, and if you are in a bad mood tomorrow, it will be blue.

Demonic, she secretly laughed at this unrealistic fantasy.

An tried her best to meet her requirements. Every month, the accountant brought over the sky-high bills, and she signed them without changing her expression, and she still forgot to explain: "She can buy whatever she likes, and it's not that she can't afford it. Let nutrition Master, be careful, don’t be too fat.”

Alice's weight is strictly monitored by a nutritionist.She also has gym class every day, which is the worst hour of the day, not only is she unhappy, everyone is unhappy.She doesn't like to do sports, she is very tired, and she feels greasy and uncomfortable when she sweats.Only when she needs to interview and shoot that day does not need to take physical education class, but the high-intensity schedule is more strenuous, and often she can only fall asleep when she gets home, and she doesn't even have time to take a look at the beautiful photos she took.

One day when Xiaoshan came back to the mansion, the little girl just finished her math class. She sat in a daze on the balcony by the window. There are already eight similarities.

"Is the math class too difficult? Uncle told the teacher." He could see that she was a little confused.

The little girl shook her head, and after a while, she suddenly said, "Uncle, do you feel sorry for me?"

Xiao Shan was stunned: "Who said you are pitiful?"

Lots of people, too many for her to name.

Xiaoshan stroked her slightly round face, she gained a bit of weight because of nutrition, but it didn't hinder her lovely appearance.

He said: "Don't listen to what others say, our baby is the best. You just need to remember that we all love you."

The little girl lowered her head: "Yesterday I put on my makeup and put on my clothes and went to the studio. The photographer said I was not good-looking, so he asked me to wash my face and change into sportswear. I really like that dress, and the lace was so hard. The style he found and the photos he took were not good-looking. I heard him whispering to the reporter that I was like a dummy, so pitiful."

Her vocabulary is not enough, and she hasn't learned the idiom "painted with paint".

Xiaoshan understood, the little girl's self-esteem was hurt: "Uncle won't let that photographer show up again next time, okay?"

The little girl shook her head vigorously, and suddenly threw the book in her hand on the ground: "I will never wear a big skirt again!"

She is young, but she is not a fool, and she is not completely incapable of distinguishing good from bad.She thought they would like her if she dressed up beautifully, they said she was so pitiful without her parents, and she thought that if they saw that she was doing well, there would be no more such talk.But she is already dressed like a princess, she is still pitiful, she can only be pitiful forever.

At the thought of this, her eyes turned red, and tears rolled down her face.

Xiaoshan wiped away tears in a panic.

She cried so much: "I don't like to hear them say I'm pitiful, I'm not pitiful at all, uncle...why do they always say I'm pitiful..."

When had she not been poor, Alice?

Xiaoshan sighed while hugging her.Shen Yizhen's worry came true.

Alice is too young, if she is thrown into this colorful world, she will inevitably get lost.Who doesn't love diamond pearls?Who doesn't want to dress up beautifully, drink tea and go shopping every day?But one day she will finally understand that if she can be a princess by wearing a big skirt, then the princess is worthless.This Vanity Fair full of vanity and desire is just an illusion. After removing the makeup and taking off the big skirt, the weary and tearful person is Alice.

It would be great if Shen Yizhen could be here at this time, Xiaoshan thought sincerely.How could he lead this child out of this maze, not knowing how to comfort her.If it's Shen Yizhen, maybe a fairy tale can fix it.No one knows where the world with tadpoles, frogs, big bad wolves and Little Red Riding Hood is, only Shen Yizhen knows.

The following foreign language classes are not available.Xiaoshan carried the little girl back to the room and asked the nanny to give her her favorite juice.

While sucking on the straw, she asked, "Uncle, I miss Brother Shen, when will he come back?"

Xiaoshan smiled wryly: "Brother Shen has his own life, he won't come back."

He can't think of a reason to lie to the child, as smart as she is, she will find out his lie sooner or later.

The little girl didn't cry right away, but she was a little wronged: "Is it because those people are not good to Brother Shen, so he won't come back?"

Xiaoshan almost felt sorry for her self-examination.His face was hot, and it was the first time he felt ashamed in front of the child.The little girl looked at him eagerly.He opened his mouth: "Uncle is bad, uncle is too bad to brother Shen, so he won't come back."

The little girl was very surprised: "Why do you treat him badly?"

Xiaoshan didn't understand either, why did he treat Shen Yizhen badly?He likes Shen Yizhen, how can liking someone be bad for him?Isn't this perverted?He doesn't want to think about it, he always feels that he has done well enough, he is a soldier, that's how he does things, why Shen Yizhen can't if others can bear it...

These are excuses, his poor self-esteem.There is actually no difference between him and Alice.Those people complimented him openly, saying that he was young and promising, but he knew exactly what he would say behind his back.He naively thought that as long as he had power, no one would look down on him, and power was the most beautiful big skirt.Only Shen Yizhen didn't even bother to look at him, and tore his skirt in a hurry, and told him, who do you think you are?You are a criminal!

He hated Xiaoshan to the bone.Xiaoshan asked for this.

Alice didn't wait for him to answer: "Uncle, go and apologize to Brother Shen."

Xiaoshan only treats her as a child with no taboo.

She took his hand: "brother will forgive you, he is so soft-hearted, no matter how big a mistake I make, he will forgive me every time I cry. You apologize to him, and he will forgive you. "

What he did to Shen Yizhen cannot be solved by crying.Xiaoshan thought to himself mockingly.

"The matter of uncle and elder brother is an adult's business, you don't understand." Xiao Shan said now in no mood.

The little girl was very stubborn: "I understand. You treated him badly, so he thinks you are a bad person, but you are actually a good person."

Xiaoshan showed a shocked expression.

The little girl continued: "You are a good person, Uncle Xiao, you are not a big bad wolf. Brother Shen thought you were a big bad wolf, because no one told him that you were a good person. You have to prove that you are a good person with your actions. Well, he will know that you are a good person."

Xiaoshan patted her on the shoulder and held her in his arms.The child's warm body revived his heart.

He called the director of the secretary's office and asked if Shen Yizhen was there.The director said that he was not in, and he asked for family leave.Xiaoshan was very surprised, isn't Shen Yizhen's home in this district?What family leave?The director couldn't tell the whole story, only that he didn't come to work this week.

Xiaoshan put the phone on and rushed to the rental house, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time.He called Shen Yizhen, but no one answered, he couldn't help but think in a bad direction, something could have happened, right?Shen Yizhen was already very repulsive to him, but she was frightened again that night, what if she couldn't think about it?He said he wanted to die...

Xiaoshan's ears were buzzing, and he was cold from head to toe, so he ran away. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw a person walking up leisurely with a vegetable basket.Shen Yizhen was talking on the phone with someone, her voice was soft and smiling, as if she was very happy.As soon as he raised his head, a certain general who was under one man and above ten thousand people stood like a stone pillar, with a hollow and stupid expression.

"I'll call you back later, there's a temporary guest coming to the house." After hanging up the phone, Shen Yizhen asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiaoshan licked his lips: "Let's... talk."

What else is there to talk about? "I've said everything I need to say."

"I was wrong that night..."

"I do not want to hear."

Xiaoshan was speechless.Shen Yizhen said expressionlessly: "If the girl asked you to come, you tell her that I will call her, and if she wants, I can go to play with her on weekends. But I won't go back. Do you just want to Ask this?"

Xiaoshan walked in front of him with heavy steps: "Since you left, the girl has been very unhappy. She has doubts about herself. What you said is right. She shouldn't be indulged in vanity. I didn't see it in time. This. I don't know how to help her, and I'm afraid something will happen if she continues like this."

Shen Yizhen's expression changed: "Why is it so serious?"

By the time a child is willing to ask an adult for help, she is usually at the limit.

Xiaoshan sighed: "I don't have much time at home, and the nanny and bodyguard don't understand these things. I just happened to see her unhappy that day, so she told me after asking a few questions. If it was you, she should have told you a long time ago. I said it." He looked at Shen Yizhen's increasingly serious expression: "She has no confidence, and she has begun to have doubts about others. She used to be very excited when going out for interviews and activities, and she would not reject it even if she was tired, but now she doesn't want to After going out, she felt that others didn't recognize her, and they just forced the poor little girl they imagined on her. If she behaved a little bit differently than they thought, they would collapse, and she would also collapse."

"Where's the psychiatrist? Have you seen her? Are you going to let her be under so much pressure?"

"She doesn't want to see a doctor, she thinks she's fine."

Shen Yizhen was a little angry: "She thinks she has no problem, so you let her go on like this?"

Xiaoshan is also very innocent: "I really don't know what to do. It's also my first time raising a child."

He was really helpless.Shen Yizhen could tell that if Alice hadn't been on the verge of collapse, he wouldn't have come to him.

Xiaoshan said in a low voice: "Yizhen, I'm a bastard, I admit it. It's okay if you want to kill or cut, I can't make up for what I owe you. But the child is innocent. She is only eight years old, and she is about to recite the truth." I really can't bear such a heavy task." He said in a low voice, "If you do your best, treat it as if it's for the children, okay?"

Shen Yizhen couldn't bear it either, but he couldn't get over that hurdle: "You can find someone else, I don't believe you."

"I will never disturb you, I will touch another hair of yours, immediately go to Feng Jiling to hand in my resignation letter, quit!" He swore.

But this is a guilty conscience, it is understandable for Shen Yizhen not to trust him.Now even if he says that he is willing to be bombarded by the sky, Shen Yizhen is right not to believe him.He couldn't blame Shen Yizhen, he could only hope that Alice still had some weight in Shen Yizhen's heart.

Shen Yizhen shook her head slowly.Alice was not his child, nor should it be his responsibility.He loves that child very much, but there are so many people who are worthy of his heart, he can't feel his heart.

Xiaoshan felt cold in his heart, if Alice couldn't get Shen Yizhen back, he would never be able to get Shen Yizhen back.

As early as the day this person was sent to the fifth district barracks, he should have known that it was impossible between him and Shen Yizhen.He had really liked such a person all these years, but in the end it was still impossible, the conflict between them was too great.

"I contacted Yang Shaoqing at first," Xiaoshan said softly, "He is old and not in good health, and now he is in a nursing home."

Shen Yizhen was a little surprised, did Xiaoshan go to labor Yang Shaoqing just for him?

Xiaoshan said hesitantly: "On weekends, if you have time, go and see him, don't you like him very much. Just you and the girl, I won't go. I have an appointment with someone, and it's not good to release pigeons temporarily." , After all, he is a master."

Shen Yizhen was a little embarrassed.Yang Shaoqing is at the national level, and if he can make an appointment with him, Xiaoshan may have touched a lot of relationships.

He couldn't refuse this request: "OK."
