Chapter 117: Season 17
"Hurry back! I've already hired teachers to teach you Japanese and French. As long as you study hard, you don't have to worry about not being able to learn."
"You'd better not have any other ideas, Ayou."
"I hope you will always be obedient."
"Ayou, you know what I mean."
"Okay, mother."
Ji You was as docile as ever. After talking to Bai He for a few more words, he finally hung up the phone and said goodbye to Xie Luo apologetically: "I'm leaving. Goodbye."
"... ...Nice to meet you."
Xie Luo stood there, broom in hand, and he no longer felt so relaxed.
Although she had grown up without a mother, she still knew about the normal mother-child relationship.
There was clearly something wrong with the way Ji You and his mother were getting along just now.
How could the other party know where Ji You was so quickly, and how could every word he said be based on serious orders?
Bai He's tone made people feel suffocated just by listening to it.
Combined with Ji You's reaction and the previous incident about Orange, Xie Luo couldn't figure out Ji You's current position and the relationship between him and his mother.
Ji You's mother probably doesn't hate small animals, but she has a strong desire to control Ji You and doesn't allow Ji You to like small animals.
The seemingly perfect Ji You might not be as perfect as he appears to be.
But Xie Luo didn’t know what to say. After all, everyone has different experiences and different difficulties.
Most people's lives are unlikely to be perfect, and they will always experience various regrets or sufferings.
Xie Luo's life of being without a father or a mother is a kind of suffering, and Ji You's mother with a strong desire for control is also a kind of suffering.
But it is impossible to tell who is suffering more.
Because the people who experience this pain are different.
Perhaps because of their imperfect commonality, Xie Luo inexplicably felt a sense of reality towards Ji You.
In the days that followed, Xie Luo resumed writing letters, and he would receive letters from Ji You every day when he went to deliver the mail.
Ji You's letter was also placed in the drawer, in the same envelope as Xie Luo's, which made it easy for Xie Luo to identify.
Because no one dared to take the envelopes in his drawer, they only dared to add envelopes and gifts into it, so it was very safe.
His handwriting is just like his personality, beautiful and neat.
Most of the time, Ji You was replying to the contents of the letters Xie Luo had written before, but later on, everything became different.
Because it was as if he had turned on some strange switch, and he began to write several times more than Xie Luo.
He would fill up a whole page or two, writing down every trivial thing, and between the lines was his desire to share with Xie Luo.
In his correspondence with Xie Luo, Ji You was free, he had many ideas, and he was eager to share many things.
The two of them miraculously exchanged letters for two months. Xie Luo and Ji You were so cautious that they were not discovered at all.
Because of the letters, Xie Luo also got to know Ji You better.
Jiyou and Juzi have very similar personalities. They are always wary of strangers at first. Only when they slowly open their hearts to you and become familiar with you, will they gradually reveal their true selves and become close to you.
At first, he would just reply to simple letters, but later he would write more and more, and in the end, he would even share everything with Xie Luo.
If the letter Xie Luo wrote the next day was too perfunctory, he could even carefully write a page to inquire, and would keep asking himself if he was being too annoying.
It is true that Ji You is sensitive and fragile.
Perhaps because he had been suppressed and controlled for too long without love, he had become anxious and worried. No matter what kind of relationship he faced, he had no confidence and felt afraid.
Every time he would repeatedly confirm many things with Xie Luo in order to stabilize the fragile place in his heart.
Ji You likes to express his ideas very much. He never hides anything and always expresses his ideas directly.
Whether it is a vulnerable mentality or an emotion that wants to be recognized, he will express it without reservation.
Because at least in front of Xie Luo, he still has the right to express himself.
Xie Luo also understood him very well and would always send Ji You some small gifts to comfort him after his intensive studies.
The feelings between the two people gradually warmed up in these seemingly simple and hazy letters.
After all, the love during school days is not mixed with too many impurities. Such seemingly boring things slowly bring two hearts closer.
Xie Luo would occasionally run into Ji You, because there were physical tests at the end of the semester, and for the sake of students' health and grades, the school arranged a running activity during the big break.
In the first year of high school, we went to the old playground, and in the second year of high school, we went to the new playground. We ran two laps during the break every day before going back to class.
As everyone's physical fitness gradually improved, the students' eloquence also gradually improved.
Either they ask for leave in various ways, or they go for a run while cursing, and then continue to complain while panting after the run.
The students' mental outlook has been greatly improved.
Ji You didn't run, but as required, he stood under the shade of the tree with a pale face and watched everyone doing exercises. There was no emotion in his beautiful eyes.
Ji Ling ran past him and looked at Ji You with a little worry.
Although she didn't like her perfect and excellent brother, she still felt a little bit reluctant when he was punished.
After all, Ji Ling had also been through this, so how could she not know how miserable Ji You was feeling right now.
It was impossible for Ji You to maintain excellent grades all the time, especially when he had a high fever a few days ago, but Bai He forced him to take the exam.
I have a fever and feel so groggy that I can't even stand up. How can I possibly get good grades in the exam?
Fortunately, Ji You had a good foundation and did well in the exam, but it was far worse than his usual grades. This time he was only one point higher than the second place in the school.
It was this point that made Bai He go crazy.
This was a great humiliation for Bai He.
She stubbornly believed that it was because Ji You didn't work hard enough, so she punished Ji You, who had just recovered from his fever, by making him kneel for a whole night, and didn't give him anything to eat, only letting him drink water.
The brother and sister were under Bai He's tight control. Their phones were equipped with positioning systems, so they would be discovered wherever they went, not to mention spending money.
Bai He had a firm control over their wallets. There was not a penny in cash or WeChat, so they couldn't buy food and could only starve.
Because no one would bring them food.
Especially Ji You's suitors, they only send flowers.
But you never know, Ji You might get so hungry that he might eat all the fake flowers.
Ji Ling knew very well the feeling of being extremely hungry.
She had developed stomach problems due to years of hunger, but the woman didn't care at all.
Bai He doesn't care about anyone, she only cares about herself.
Whether it was her or Ji You, they were just toys that Bai He held firmly in his palm, existing only for her perfection.
