Purple Grapes and Soft Beauty

The night was slightly dark, and the sky was still brightly lit, dark blue and light purple, blurred into one piece.The melodious notes flowed in the air, once and for all, as if with the flash of a star.

Yu Zhi leaned against the window sill of the room, her gaze was outward, her slender fingers were slightly bent, and she combed her loose long hair time after time.

Two moderate knocks on the door pulled her thoughts back from the distant sky.

Mother Ye Jing's voice came from outside: "Xiaozhi, mother wants to chat with you, will you disturb me?"

Yu Zhi's eyebrows moved slightly.

She guessed that an elder would come to talk to her, but she didn't expect it to be her mother.

Obviously, since my elder sister left and my younger brother was born, my mother rarely came to talk to her alone in such a formal manner.

"Okay, Mom. Shall we go to the study?"

"...Well, that's fine."

Two cups of clear tea were placed facing each other, and the dense water vapor rose up. Ye Jing looked at her daughter sitting opposite the wooden table, and suddenly realized that she had grown so big.

From a naughty child to a tough, assertive and independent big boy.

Picking up the teacup, feeling the heat from her fingertips, Ye Jing said after deliberating, "Xiao Zhi, did you have fun the last two days?"

Yu Zhi tilted her head slightly, and replied softly, "I'm very happy, my classmate's sister is very cute."

Ye Jing looked at Yu Zhi's pair of peach blossom eyes that resembled hers slightly curved, and was slightly taken aback.

Those eyes were like ripples in a shallow pond filled with a pool of spring water, with a soft and healing light, less stubborn and more peaceful.

While once again expressing her daughter's growing up, Ye Jing no longer shy away from saying: "I'm very sorry, my daughter. Your father and I didn't suddenly realize the negligence towards you in the past few years until recently, and we were really worried. Our fault will not give you too much pressure.

"We are all very relieved to see your more mature attitude towards things now, but this does not mean that our negligence has not happened. So, child, I am sorry, Mom and Dad did something wrong.

"Being a parent for so many years, I always thought I was doing a good job, but it wasn't until the children grew up that we suddenly realized that there are so-called parents who need to learn and be educated."

Ye Jing's voice is usually light and agile, but now it is unexpectedly solemn.

Yu Zhi gradually put away her smile and met her mother's eyes.

"You have always been curious about your sister and younger brother. At that time, we all thought that you were still young and didn't need to know these things.

"We were wrong, we didn't respect your wishes, and we didn't tell you the true face of the matter, which made you so many guesses and burdens that you wouldn't have had.

"Mom sometimes really feels that she is not as good as a child, and she doesn't understand the science of getting along with you at all."

The normally strong and independent mother suddenly shed that noble and glamorous shell in front of Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi suddenly understood that even such a strong mother would still have a soft and fragile heart, would be troubled by the unharmonious relationship with her children, and would fall into regret and self-blame in the dead of night...

If my sister also knew, would she choose to forgive?

Forgive the parents who were not careful when getting along with their children, forgive that unfortunate accident, forgive this family that gave her unlimited expectations but whipped her to move forward with heavy burdens?

"What happened to your sister was a real accident, we never thought she would leave us in such a way.

"Although I know that such a request is too much, I still hope that our little Zhi will stop being sad for my sister. My sister, she likes you so much, she will definitely not miss you."

Yes, my sister likes her so much and loves her so much, how can I not feel sad for her?Can an accident wipe out emotions?Why?Why did it accidentally take away my sister?

Yu Zhi felt that she could even think selfishly, if someone had to pay the price for the youthful "rebellion", why didn't the god of death take away the one named Xue? !

Ye Jing used the heat of the tea to cover her face: "Resentment can never be the driving force for people to go on. Child, mother only hopes that you can keep your kindness no matter what. Don't be, I won't even like it people."

Yu Zhi was stunned.The last kindness, huh...

She began to reflect on whether her resentment towards Xue Li was too far-fetched.

"Persistence is a good thing, but stubbornness and paranoia are not what parents want to see, and neither does my sister."

Paranoid...?Does that mean she wants to follow in her sister's footsteps?But shouldn't it?

"Let me tell you about my younger brother. Your uncle's family has a difficult heir. He and your aunt are not too young. They told us a few years ago that they wanted to adopt a child to be raised under their knees."

What her mother said was very cryptic, but Yu Zhi felt that she had guessed it.Maybe the uncle's family originally wanted to raise her, but the family was reluctant. Later, the elder sister passed away, and the younger brother was born more than a year later. The younger brother stayed at the uncle's house longer than with his grandparents...

It seems that everything that didn't make sense suddenly opened up barriers, and you can see the direction of the other side at a glance.

But Yu Zhi never thought that such a bizarre and dramatic thing would happen to her...

"So should I take up this burden willingly?" She said suddenly, her eyes were sharp and watery.

Ye Jing replied firmly: "This is a fate I have to accept."

"What about brother?"

"He's still young."

"what about me?"

Should I be forced to take on this so-called responsibility?Can't you have the life you plan for yourself in the direction you choose?

"Then have you ever thought about my sister?" Ye Jing's tone became lighter.As a career-oriented woman, long-term interest thinking has made her habitually use the attitude when negotiating with others.

Yu Zhi was speechless.She couldn't figure out why these so-called adult thoughts were so unacceptable.But she had to admit that she could only accept it if she didn't accept it, and even, she had been "forced to accept" subtly.

Some ideas will always be rooted in her mind.

Ye Jing didn't expect that the knot in Yu Zhi's heart hadn't been untied yet, but she really couldn't think of any way to untie it, so she had to avoid the topic and said:

"Someone has to take it."

"I'm sorry, son. I'm really not a good mother."

Yu Zhi stopped talking.

Mother's words are too pale.

Actual actions, she thought, were far more convincing than verbal arguments.

The conversation ended with Yu Zhi's silence.

But some beliefs are not so easily shaken.

The next day, without accident, grandma also had a conversation with Yu Zhi.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, spread out in the spacious and comfortable living room, the two of them and the cat were bathed in golden warmth.

Grandma is worthy of being a lady who has read a lot of poetry and books, and her speech and demeanor make people feel gentle, without the slightest blunt and far-fetched.However, neither apology nor comfort meant much to Yu Zhi, all she cared about was what grandma said lightly with a slight smile at the end:

"Xue Li returned home.

"I heard he's not doing very well."

Yu Zhi was stunned, not knowing what to feel in her heart.

The author has something to say: the card is very subtle...the whole article is full of immature remarks.

In fact, in the setting, both Yu Zhi and the family members are still immature.I wish I could try to be more realistic.

After staying in school for nearly a month, it is rare to go home to make up the ending.

I'm going to cut a new plot right away, so I'll fill in this section first.
