Father Yu stopped and returned to comfort his spouse, “Don’t cry, this little brat must have been shocked by the divorce. I’ll teach him a lesson and everything will be fine!”
“Why would you teach him a lesson? It’s all my fault! You should teach me instead!” Mother Yu became more heartbroken as she thought, suddenly raising her hand and slapping herself in the face.
“Ah! Jiaojiao, what are you doing!” Father Yu, anxious, blurted out her nickname only used when they were alone.
“Old Yu, we failed this child, we failed…” Mother Yu sobbed.
Seeing her tears, Father Yu lost all his pride, busy retrieving a towel and offering water, anxious as a spinning top.
Two people had come such a long way, encountering setbacks and difficulties. Father Yu never allowed himself to make his wife upset. They had been through a lot of hardships when they were young, and now seeing his wife crying like a tearful person, he felt a fire burning in his heart.
After he calmed her down, Mother Yu explained. Father Yu listened with increasing anger.
“This little brat, he’s grown up but still acts like a child, so immature!”
“Does mentality have anything to do with maturity? Old Yu, we can’t blame the child for this. It’s our fault…”
“Have you been influenced by your black-faced old lady classmate? She’s always talking about the impact of psychology on people. My child, Yu Weiguo, must have a strong will and unyielding spirit. A little difficulty can be overcome, right? I’ll go talk to him!”
“Old Yu, don’t you understand yet? Psychological issues cannot be resolved by having a stronger will. The child wants to control it, but he can’t control it. He’s unhappy every time he sits in the flight cabin. If you continue to let him work, he will certainly agree to please us, but he is suffering!”
Mother Yu’s words caused Father Yu to fall into deep thought.
Second Brother was just too outstanding, working as a pilot, a position that required a lot of training and cost. It would not be easy for him to quit. If he did, Father Yu would feel ashamed of not repaying the country’s cultivation and would also feel like a failure as a father, a double failure that made this successful man, who had been on top for most of his life, fall into deep silence.
“The child is grown now, and for so many years, he has lived for us. Now that he doesn’t like this career anymore, can we respect his wishes, Old Yu, please!”
Mother Yu pleaded.
Father Yu was tormented. As a father, he felt sorry for his child, but he was also deeply attached to his unit and couldn’t bear to let it suffer losses.
Caught in a dilemma.
“Jiaojiao, give me a few days, let me think about it carefully, okay?”
These days were long and unbearable.
Mother Yu kept collecting information, hoping to find some relevant advice. The more she searched, the colder her heart became, because what Xiao Qian had said was exactly right.
Yu Mingyi was waiting for his father’s call, calm and collected. He had already guessed that in the end, the one to compromise would be himself.
Meanwhile, Dong Yi stopped going to the canteen and skipped classes, spending entire days in the library with a single pancake.
Xiao Qian knew Dong Yi was worried about Second Brother’s situation, so she advised her a few times that a psychologist was not a god and couldn’t save all symptoms. But Dong Yi was already obsessed.
Dong Yi couldn’t accept that she was struggling to help her beloved uncle, who had saved her twice and given her a new life. So she desperately read books.
Dong Yi’s eyes were full of red bloodshot streaks. Xiao Qian feared that if Dong Yi continued, it would cause her just-healed illness to recur, so she finally said one day when Dong Yi was staying up late studying.
“Want to help him?”
“Yeah!” Dong Yi had not had a good rest for days, and her appearance had become haggard.
“Actually, it’s not impossible. He might just be too tired. Pilots have long vacations every year. After your exam, accompany him to relax and help him find some sense of existence, maybe he’ll be fine.”
“Really?” Dong Yi’s spirits lifted.
“Give it a try… Da Yi, it’s almost exam time, and you can’t go on like this. Go to sleep.” Xiao Qian took Dong Yi’s book and turned off the light.
With Xiao Qian’s guarantee, Dong Yi finally calmed down and started preparing for her exam with full enthusiasm, just waiting to finish and take her uncle to relax.
When Dong Yi was away, Shi Yu asked Xiao Qian, “Boss Qian, what did you do to cure Dong Yi’s library glue syndrome?”
This “disease” was coined by Shi Yu, saying that Dong Yi was always stuck in the library as if her feet were glued to the ground.
“A kind lie… I just hope that when she finds out I lied, she won’t hate me.”
Xiao Qian lied, and there was no real cure. She just saw that Dong Yi was in a terrible state and decided to fool her until her exam was over. In Xiao Qian’s view, Yu Mingyi was beyond saving unless he left the army.
It seemed incredible that a person nearing thirty hadn’t found themselves, but in reality, there were many such people – often very intelligent and outstanding individuals.
Xiao Qian understood that in this situation, simply blaming the parents and pushing all responsibility onto them would be irresponsible. Parents are not gods, and it’s impossible for them to think of everything.
Yu’s parents were products of a “red education,” raised by their ancestors in the same way. They had tried their best to raise their children, but Second Brother’s situation was so unique – first losing his colleague, then encountering a woman like Wang Xiaohong, all while working in a highly specialized job – that things became very complicated.
Dong Yi was temporarily appeased, but Xiao Qian’s troubles were far from over because she had been trapped by Shi Touyu.
In a small theater of the drama club, a group of people were rehearsing lines. Chen Xiaoqian, dressed in a medieval retro velvet suit, held a transparent wine goblet filled with what looked like blood from the red pigment, and emotionlessly recited her lines.
“If you’re willing, I’ll love you forever. If you’re not, I’ll pine for you forever. Goodbye, Xiao Qiang!”
After she finished, the director shouted, “Cut.”
The other club members applauded, with Shi Yu’s clapping being the loudest.
“Boss Qian, you’re amazing!”
Xiao Qian glared at her, “What kind of childish lines did you guys write? It gives me goosebumps just reading them!”
She still got caught by Shi Touyu. The reason was indescribable, but it could be said that she had underestimated Shi Touyu. This was their final rehearsal, and every time she recited the lines, she felt disgusted.
“The performance is tomorrow, go Boss Qian!” Shi Touyu shouted, leading the other club members to chant together, “Go Boss Qian!”
As a person with strong will and personality, Boss Qian forcibly changed the name of the elegant male lead in the play to the more rustic Xiao Qiang, against the objections of the director and screenwriter. But no one denied Boss Qian’s acting skills..
