"Eason, would you like to hear my story?" This is a story that Vivian has buried in her heart for a long time, she has wanted to say it for a long time, but she has not been able to say it, but if she doesn't say it this time, she is really afraid that she will lose her little sun forever.

Lu Yichen nodded, he knew that Vivian must have a lot of stories, and he didn't ask before because he was afraid that she would be hurt, but since she was willing to take the initiative now, he was naturally willing to listen.

Vivian took another deep breath, she needed all the courage to say it all.

"My mother was a very typical Japanese woman, she didn't have a good education, and in her time, many women had the lifelong goal of getting married and becoming a housewife. So, when she married my dad, she was the envy of many people. My dad was an engineer and he was very good," Vivian said of his biological father, with a hint of admiration and recognition in his eyes, "Not long after I was born, my dad applied for a job for an American company, and then he was sent to the United States to work. So my family came here when I was 5 years old. At that time, it was a very honorable thing, and Japan's economy was not very good in those years, and many people were very envious of my mother when I came to the United States. However, after she came, she was extremely uncomfortable, she couldn't speak English, she didn't adapt to the environment here, and she couldn't even drive a car. When my dad first arrived, it was also very hard, and he had to work and take care of her emotions, and eventually they separated due to various conflicts. In fact, I always thought that if my mother had chosen to leave here at that time, maybe there would not have been so much misfortune later. Vivian had really thought about it countless times that if Mom hadn't been attached to staying in an environment where she didn't fit in at all, maybe she wouldn't have so much misfortune.

"No, I'm thankful that your mom didn't leave, otherwise I wouldn't have met you." Lu Yichen looked at Vivian with a firm look, gently raised the back of her hand, kissed her affectionately, and motioned for her to continue.

Vivian smiled at the corners of her mouth and continued.

"Then they divorced, and my dad reportedly remarried after returning to Japan. His new wife was very concerned about his past, so she didn't allow him to have any more contact with us. Vivian said this, her eyes were full of tears, in fact, she really resented her father, but she still tried her best to find a reason to excuse his evaporation, she would rather believe that he was forced and helpless, than accept that he subjectively gave up on their mother and daughter.

Later, in order to stay here and continue to live, my mother found a random man to marry and gave birth to a younger brother. This is where our nightmare begins. My stepfather was an alcoholic, and he used to join some AA groups at first, but then he didn't have a good job and gave up completely. Every time he got drunk, he would go home and smash things, and we could only hide far away, but my mother was still beaten by him many times, and there was also a record of being sent to the hospital. But my mom is a very traditional Asian woman, she had a broken marriage, so she didn't want my brother to lose his dad again, so she put up with it.

I've been good at studying since I was a kid, and that's because I know that I can't rely on anyone, and if I want to change my destiny, I have to rely on myself. So I studied hard and dreamed of one day being able to get out of that environment and rescue my mom and brother. I've always wanted to go to law school, not just to be a high-income lawyer, because I know that there are too many people in this society like my mother, they need the protection of the law, but the weapon of the law can never protect them. Vivian's emotions were a little excited, and Lu Yichen stroked the back of her hand, signaling that she was listening very seriously.

"I finally got into Harvard, and I was the first student in our school's history to get into Harvard." Vivian is tantamount to telling Lu Yichen how bad the environment is, a school that has never been a Harvard candidate and Lu Yichen's elite and aristocratic school, and a large number of Ivy League schools are admitted every year, which can only be said to be a world of difference.

"I thought I was finally getting rid of it, so I tried to maintain a 40 GPA and work hard at the same time, I wanted to save for my tuition and I wanted to protect my mom and brother. Later, I got to know you. Vivian looked up, and she realized that it wasn't as embarrassing to say it as she had imagined. The big stone in her heart finally landed, and she no longer had anything to scruple about.

"After I left home, my stepfather became even worse, and shortly before your birthday, he injured my mother and went to the hospital, and he was in debt, and the creditor came to my door, and the social worker told me that my mother might be depressed." Speaking of which, Lu Yichen has understood everything, it's not that he hasn't thought about vivian's suffering, but the reality is still much crueler than he imagined, after all, he has never been in contact with the dark side of these societies, and he always lacks imagination in the face of tragedy.

"I'm sorry, weak and incompetent, I thought of taking shortcuts, not hesitating to hurt the people I love the most." Vivian lowered his head, tears came out of his eyes again, Lu Yichen couldn't hold back the surging in his heart anymore, he gently lifted Vivian's chin, and gently kissed the girl he had never put down. This kiss is extremely gentle, without a hint, only two honest hearts echoing......

When Lu Yichen reluctantly left her soft lips, she only asked, "What happened later?" How did things work out? ”

"Probably figured it out, my mother felt that she didn't need to make any more compromises, so she chose to divorce. The social workers and the police helped us a lot. She no longer had to compete with this society, and after the formalities were completed, she took her younger brother back to Japan. Before leaving, she told me that it was best for her to go back, and that our family had many friends who cared about her and the society she grew up in was able to bring her back to life. So, not long after you disappeared, she was gone. My stepfather was finally arrested for assault. After all this, Vivian felt extremely relaxed, she no longer had to worry about life, but when the dust settled, the person she missed the most was still nowhere to be found.

"I miss you so much, really, I ......" Vivian is really inexperienced in expressing her feelings, she has not shown her feelings much since she was a child.

"Needless to say, I know it all." Lu Yichen thoughtfully expressed understanding.

"No, you don't." Vivian shook her head, if words can't be expressed, then use action, she unbuttoned her shirt, Lu Yichen was a little frightened by her actions, and when he looked at it again, his heart was about to stop.

Vivian had a small letter E tattooed above his collarbone, which was the necklace-like flower body he had given him.

The shock in Lu Yichen's heart was incomprehensible, he lowered his head and gently kissed her thin skin like cicada wings, feeling sorry for her past and regretting his original decision.

"I couldn't find you, so it stayed with me instead of you." Vivian's explanation stung Lu Yichen again.

"So, when you come back this time, will you still leave?" Vivian's most important thing in the past few days is that she is afraid that Lu Yichen will leave again after the summer vacation, and she is afraid that she will evaporate again before she has the opportunity to explain clearly.

"Do you think Harvard can accept a student on a gap year of two years?" The corners of Lu Yichen's mouth rose, one year is already the limit of tolerance in school, and he can only be an out-of-school child in another year.

Vivian's eyes lit up, and she wondered if she was wrong.

"How can I be willing to leave you again?" Lu Yichen kissed her soft lips again, and this time his tongue was not as honest as it was just now......
