Chen Jinzhi doesn't like rainy days.

The drizzle would make the old building smell of mold smell terrible from every corner, and the pouring rain would make her worry about the collapse of the already crumbling house.

Although sometimes it feels like it collapses.

But she still has some vague good memories of this house, but it is as far away as a previous life.

At that time, my mother was still gentle and smiling, just like other people's mothers.

I guess I can't remember.

I don't know when everything changed.

Chen Jinzhi has been a very observant child since she was a child, and she knows very well what to do to make adults like her.

Excellent test scores, greet politely and smile when you meet, don't cry and fight over your favorite toys like other children, and pretend to be enthusiastic to help adults do things.

Gentle and frugal.

It is very effective, whether it is a neighbor in the neighborhood or a teacher at the school, as soon as they see her, they will keep praising her and use her as a role model to educate their own children.

But this set probably won't work in front of people who suddenly become mentally ill.

The full-score test papers were shredded, the prepared food was thrown everywhere, and the room that had been carefully cleaned before leaving the house was a mess again.

When she was in a better state, her mother would huddle in her room and cry.

When he saw Chen Jin, he would cry even more fiercely, saying that he was sorry for her.

When he is in a bad state, he will scream, scream, bang his head against the wall, and curse everyone in extremely dirty language.

If it was an ordinary child, he would definitely be scared to cry and run out to find someone else's help.

But Chen Jinzhi just hid in the closet and listened expressionlessly.

Wait for her to calm down, then go out and clean up the room that has been wreaked havoc.

"Mom is sorry for you, you would be better off without Mom."

When she was sober, her mother would repeat this to her. Her eyes flashed with hope, clearly hoping to hear comforting words from Chen Jinzhi's mouth.

So Chen Jinzhi replied as she wished:

"No, Mom, we'll be fine."

Will it get better?

Chen Jinzhi didn't know.

She said this sentence just to maintain her good boy character.

Mom was afraid of thunder, and during thunderstorms, her condition would worsen.

Occasionally hurt yourself.

Chen Jinzhi probably began to hate rainy days at that time.

Every day before going to bed, she recalls in her heart what her mother looked like when she was normal, so as not to let the bad image like this replace the good memory.

Maybe she didn't pretend to be like it enough, and her words of comfort were not sincere enough, but on a thunderstorm day, when Chen Jinzhi ran to the door of the house with an umbrella with two big holes broken, he saw everyone gathered there, and the blue lights of the ambulance flashed.

The police judged it to be a suicide, and the aftermath was handled very simply, Chen Jinzhi was holding the urn, and the weight of the ceramics was a bit difficult for children of this age.

After the whole process, she didn't shed a single tear.

Those who praise her on weekdays are full of praise for her at the moment.

Of course, there are also some people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement and say with a giggle on the side:

"Jinzhi, your mother is gone, and your life will be better in the future. At such a young age, it's hard to take care of a madman, right? ”

His teasing smile froze on his face when he saw Chen Jinzhi's eyes.

It was a look without any emotion, which made people's hearts chill.

As soon as he returned home, Chen Jinzhi subconsciously went to get a rag.

However, the floor was clean.

There was no white porridge that was spilled everywhere, no garbage, no broken objects of all kinds.

There is no mother who often wanders around the house like a ghost.

Whether it's in this old three-story building, or in the whole wide world, she is alone.

Later, another of her guardians came to the door under pressure.

At that time, she was lying on the balcony on the second floor, writing her homework by light.

A man in a black suit holds a card in his hand and checks the house number at the gate.

He muttered something impatiently, crouched down and carefully wiped his mud-stained shoes.

"Chen Jinzhi?"

When he saw her on the second floor, the man frowned and shouted tentatively.

Chen Jinzhi looked at his face that was somewhat similar to himself, and already had an answer in his heart.

All her luggage added up to just a schoolbag, and before leaving, Chen Jinzhi took one last look back.

The door was locked, as if it were a dusty memory.

The old life is devastated, and the new life is not very good.

When they first arrived, they didn't understand the language, and most people cast disdainful glances.

Auntie didn't like her at first.

Who can accept that their boyfriend suddenly has an extra ten-year-old daughter?

Fortunately, Chen Jinzhi has a gorgeous face.

The aunt who works in an entertainment company happens to have a pair of eyes that are good at finding beauty.

After a period of observation, the aunt became more firm in her opinion.

Chen Jinzhi was born to be a star.

She doesn't look like a child at all, doesn't cry or make a fuss, and isn't interested in anything that little children are obsessed with.

In this way, I can be a trainee wholeheartedly.

I don't like to talk, and if I open my mouth, I must have said something that made others happy.

Misfortune comes from the mouth, too many words are wrong, and the most taboo thing for public figures is to talk too much.

A polite smile that treats everyone is more standard than the idols in the company who have been trained in expression management.

It is said that no one is perfect, but a star must be so perfect.

At least in front of the camera.

The aunt also said that there was a force in her, like a plant struggling to grow on the concrete floor.

Well, maybe it's a cash cow, Chen Jinzhi thought.

However, the ending was that the aunt's dream of making a fortune and Chen Jinzhi's debut road were shattered together.

Like stray dogs with no way out, the three of them packed up and rolled back to the old house.

But after returning to China, the aunt seemed to be unable to accept the reality, and decided to fight to the death, and tried her best to send Chen Jinzhi to participate in the art examination.

Chen Jinzhi did not disappoint her and won the first place in the province.

At this time, the dying dream of making a fortune rekindled a small flame.

After careful choice, the aunt chose Tang'an No. 1 Experimental Middle School, the school with the best grades, for her.

Of course, what Auntie values is not grades, but fame.

It can be used for hype later.

Chen Jinzhi looked at the school's publicity website and found a person with a staggering resume in the list of outstanding students.

However, on the ID photo next to him, he had an expressionless face of misanthropy, out of place with other classmates, as if someone was pointing a gun at him from behind.

Chen Jinyi laughed and silently remembered his name.

Su Chengyi.

Unexpectedly, on the day I came to the school to report, I saw him at the door of the Academic Affairs Office.

is different from what is written, the scene where the two first meet is really not romantic.

He was there like a stake, his eyes rolling at himself.

Chen Jinzhi has long been accustomed to the feeling of being stared at.

But his eyes are different from everyone else, not mixed with any desire, and clean as a pool of clear water.
