The boy simply lifted her quilt, helped the girl up, sat down beside her and said, "You can discuss with your mother anything you want to buy, but how do you feel if others force you to accept his ideas like this?" ”

The girl looked timidly at her brother, lowered her head again, and pouted without speaking.

"Change your clothes and go to the hospital with your mother."

"I'm afraid of injections." The girl pulled the quilt and wrapped her body tightly.

"Don't be afraid, my brother will accompany you." The boy smiled nicely, put his arm around her and said.

Ling Banxia woke up in a daze, that scene lingered in his mind, and he could no longer linger.

Who are those two children? How is that scene so familiar?

A memory, whether it has been worn away by time, or deeply engraved in the heart will never fade, is when it is mentioned or remembered, it sets off a storm in the heart.

The game is over and the host announces the results.

However, among the names of the winners, there is no "Ling Qichen".

It's over......

The applause still doesn't stop, for the winners of the awards.

Ling Qichen, who was standing on the stage, always lowered his head, his eyes were dull, and the whole person stood silently, motionless.

He didn't get a place or even an Excellence Award......

Fang Yachun couldn't help but worry when she looked at her son's state.

……

When Ling Qichen walked back to the backstage to prepare something, he was stopped by a sound inside when he passed by a lounge.

He remembered this lounge, and the player in it was Han Yitao, who had just won the championship.

"Oh Dad, don't worry, who knows that there is a problem with the result! Besides, the kid who won the championship was a nobody, and I knew it by looking at the school he attended. Rest assured, no one will find out about the money you gave to the judges. ”

Ling Qichen broke in.

Han Yitao was startled and quickly put his phone away.

Ling Qichen walked up to him with a cold expression and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”

"What?" Han Yitao smiled awkwardly.

"What did you do with the result?" Ling Qichen was annoyed and yelled at him.

Han Yitao was too lazy to pretend, and sneered at him and said, "Okay! Now that you've heard it, I'm not going to hide it from you! Yes, my championship was bought with money! What can you do with me? ”

Ling Qichen secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

This month, he sweated like rain every day, in addition to his normal life, he only ran between training and studying, and even once his body couldn't support it, he was so tired that he fainted, and he didn't dare to tell his mother. He has worked so hard for so long, worked hard for so long, but was easily surpassed by this person with money!

How could he be willing!

"Boy, do you really think you can do anything with your strength? Let me tell you, in this society, no money is nothing! Han Yitao was still arrogant, facing Ling Qichen, he had no regret or fear.

"You, just accept your fate!" Han Yitao stretched out his hand and pushed him, his face full of pride.

"Oh! Do you care so much about rankings because of the prize money? Say it early! If only I didn't give it to you! Shall I give you double the prize money for the champion? Han Yitao took out his wallet and threw a few US bills on Ling Qichen's face.

Money was scattered all over the place.

"It's a poor person like you who needs money!"

Until he finished speaking and left, Ling Qichen couldn't say a word, just clenched his fists tightly.

He had never been so humiliated, and his heart was numb, and those few bills, as if they weighed a thousand pounds, fell on his face and hurt.

The sound of the door closing sounded, and Ling Qichen's whole person collapsed weakly and fell on the ground sprinkled with dollar bills.

He didn't know if he regretted it, regretted coming to this competition, regretted that he was naïve and didn't see this helpless and hateful social reality earlier.

Fang Yachun was waiting for him in Ling Qichen's lounge, thinking about her son's state after learning the result, she was worried now, and when everything was over and the audience began to disperse, she ran backstage to find her son's lounge, and finally saw Ling Qichen open the door and come in.

"Qichen!" Fang Yachun hurriedly ran to her son's side, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you okay, kid?" ”

Ling Qichen's eyes were already full of tears, and when he saw his mother, he finally couldn't help it, hugged his mother and cried.

"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry, it's okay if you don't get the award, you're great! It's true! My son is really great! Fang Yachun was distressed when she saw her son crying like this, in fact, she didn't care if her son won any awards, in her heart, her son was always the best.

Ling Qichen was not aggrieved that he didn't win the award, if it was really his strength was not enough, he would continue to work hard, but the reason why he didn't win the award was not a matter of strength, he couldn't swallow this breath!

"Don't cry, crying makes my mother feel distressed." Fang Yachun wiped away his tears.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Ling Qichen wiped away his tears, exhaled deeply, and replied, "Please come in." ”

What walked in was a little girl, about twelve years old, who walked up to Ling Qichen with a shy smile on her face, and said timidly: "Hello brother, me, can I take a picture with you?" ”

Looking at her, a smile rose on Fang Yachun's lips.

Ling Qichen took a breath and said with a smile, "Okay." ”

"Auntie, can you take a picture for us?" The girl handed the camera in her hand to Fang Yachun.

"Hmm." Fang Yachun happily took it.

Because of his height, Ling Qichen needed to squat down slightly.

The flash is on.

The girl left a kiss on Ling Qichen's face, and then quickly ran away.

Fang Yachun looked at her running away, crying and laughing.

Ling Qichen seemed to be electrocuted, and the whole person was stunned for a while.

"When you perform, the little girls next to your mother are all screaming and cheering! Now there are little girls running backstage to find you! Look, even if you're not the champion, you're the best in everyone's hearts! Fang Yachun comforted his son.

Ling Qichen just smiled bitterly, he didn't tell his mother the truth, and chose to swallow this bitter water alone.

Mo Jiu went to wake up Ling Banxia.

"What's wrong?" She seemed to be still in her dreams, a little dazed.

"Get up and eat."

"Oh." Ling Banxia smiled faintly and stretched.

"Tired? Don't sleep anymore, and I'll cook for you when you wake up. ”

"I'm not tired, just squinting for a while. Let's eat. ”

Sitting at the dinner table, Ling Banxia's expression was still a little sluggish.

"What's wrong? Frightened just now? Mo Jiu asked worriedly.

Ling Banxia looked at him and asked, "Mo Jiu, you, have you ever felt that there was something that seemed to have happened to you, but you didn't have any impression. It's just a moment in the subconscious......"

Mo Jiu's eyes rolled and replied, "Yes......"

Ling Banxia immediately continued to ask, "What's the situation?" ”

Mo Jiu's face was full of smiles: "Maybe it's the memory of your previous life." ”

"No kidding."

"No kidding! Just as you escaped from the abyss of pain, you who were once weak and timid must be left behind by you little by little on your way back to the light. Isn't this a past life? Because you're dead. ”

Ling Banxia was stunned, what he answered didn't seem to have anything to do with his question, but it seemed to have something to do with it, it seemed to be the answer to this question after finding a different way.

"The way you answer questions is quite novel. I thought you'd explain a lot of knowledge to me. Ling Banxia picked up the utensils and prepared to eat.

"I explain to you with my professional knowledge, do you understand?" Mo Jiu teased.

"I don't understand!"

"Wouldn't that be good."

Ling Banxia finally regarded this as another cranky thought of his own, it was just a dream.

"Here's for you." Mo Jiu handed over an envelope-like object.

"What is it?" Ling Banxia asked as he took it.

"Invitation! The day after tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the CK Group, and they held a grand banquet. Let's do it together. ”

The invitation was very exquisite, but Ling Banxia was not interested, she didn't like this kind of occasion with a lot of people, not to mention that those were all people from high society.

And the most important thing is that my current image is really too unsuitable.

"Look at my face, where can I attend such an occasion?!" Ling Banxia said.

"It's okay, it's me! I'll help you with your makeup. And it would be nice to cover the wound on the forehead with bangs. It's so simple! ”

Ling Banxia thought about the situation at that time, but still felt awkward, and reluctantly smiled and said, "You better go to Mu Yan." ”

"Mu Yan had something to do, and he directly refused."

Ling Banxia sighed in his heart, when would he be able to refuse a person's request so readily like Mu Yan?

For example, now I obviously don't want to go, but I still can't bear to refuse.

"Promise......" Mo Jiu turned on the coquettish mode, "Hmm~"

Ling Banxia couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, okay, promise you." ”

Mo Jiu's heart blossomed with joy and asked, "Then what kind of dress do you like?" ”

"I like what you prepared." Ling Banxia thought about being naughty.

Mo Jiu smiled disdainfully and said, "This is left to tease your boyfriend in the future, it won't work for me." ”

Ling Banxia felt that she had been poured a basin of cold water, and gradually smiled.

"What? Are you trying to treat me like a boyfriend? ”

"Not really." Ling Banxia lowered her head nervously.

Mo Jiu didn't say anything more about this topic, just smiled.

"OK, then I'll take you to see the dress in the afternoon."

Ling Banxia thought about it and said, "There are taekwondo classes and piano lessons in the afternoon, and don't we still have to play basketball......

Mo Jiu said: "I've already asked you for leave, you can play basketball at any time, and basketball and basketball courts can't run!" ”

Ling Banxia was suddenly surprised: "How do you know that I will definitely agree?" ”

Mo Jiu's smile spread all over his face: "To be honest, except for Mu Yan, no girl has ever rejected me!" ”

"How did Mu Yan refuse you?" His words aroused Ling Banxia's interest, or rather, care.
