Chapter 213 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng Part 1

In Liao Qian's memory, her childhood was a colorful world with green grass, blooming wild flowers, a warm family, and a long-lasting love.

Although her family was financially tight and not wealthy, she felt very secure and happy.

Until that year, on a stormy night, my father died in the line of duty, my mother became sad and silent, and the once peaceful life was no longer there.

Later, her mother remarried, and that was the first time she met her stepfather.

He didn't look as kind as his father, but he was pretty good to his mother. At least he was willing to provide her and her with food and clothing, and to pay for her schooling.

And so, the three of them lived together.

At that time, Liao Qian still had long braids. Her mother said that this was how girls should look.

At that time, she loved it when her mother braided her hair after getting up every day. The comb gently stroked her scalp, and her mother's hands gently passed through her hair, tying several beautiful scorpion braids.

When she went to school, her classmates would envy her, saying, "Liao Qian, your mother is so skillful, and your braids are so beautiful."

At that time, we were still in the countryside and people didn't see much, so seeing rare things was quite surprising. Liao Qian's mother came from the city, so she knew a lot and knew some popular braiding styles in the city, so her classmates envied her for having a mother from the city.

That year, Liao Qian was in elementary school and was always a day student.

Every day when she returned home, her mother would be waiting for her to eat, while her stepfather was always working in the factory and would not come back until the evening. This was how her days went on.

At that time, she was very competitive and loved to study. In the sixth grade, she was successfully admitted to a school in the city.

When she took her report card home that day, she opened the door and found the room was quiet and the lights were off, but she could faintly smell alcohol.

She knew that her stepfather always liked to drink.

So, she raised her hand and turned on the light, and saw her stepfather sitting at the paint-chipped dining table, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, his face flushed from drinking.

Seeing her, he looked her up and down, and there was a hint of drunkenness in his voice, "Qianqian is back, come, come here, drink with me."

She was young at the time and had always kept her distance from her stepfather, but thinking about how he had always been good to her and her, she boldly walked over and asked, "Uncle, where is my mother?"

"Your mother went to visit."

"Then I'll go find her." Generally speaking, her mother would go to the neighbor's house more often. She had always known this, so she planned to look for her next door.

"No, I'll be back soon. Come drink with me."

Liao Qian knew that her stepfather was a little drunk, otherwise why would he repeatedly ask to drink with him.

Somehow, she instinctively felt that there was a hint of irrationality in the air. She took a few steps back and said, "I'd better go find my mom."

Just as he finished speaking, his stepfather stood up and walked towards her step by step, "I've raised you for so long, and you won't even drink a glass of wine?"

His eyes were red and fierce, the wrinkles on his face were terrifying, and the expression on his face could only be described as ferocious.

Liao Qian was so scared that she ran away.

That night, there were lightning and thunder, and things in the house were knocked over. She was also thrown to the concrete floor, her skin was scratched in many places, and her skirt was covered with dust.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, and could still hear her stepfather's words in her ears, "You're prettier than your mother."

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

…

Liao Qian stared at the ceiling in a daze. At that moment, she felt that her soul was leaving her body. She felt disgusted with herself and her soul no longer wanted to stay in her body.

With a "bang", the door was opened.

Mother is back.

The stepfather looked over in panic, and facing the anger in his mother's eyes, he seemed to sober up a lot in an instant.

My memories of what followed were confused.

That was the first time Liao Qian saw her mother fighting with someone using a chair.

The result was that my stepfather was beaten with bruises all over his body, but my mother herself was not much better off, with multiple fractures.

Liao Qian didn't care about her torn skirt and crawled over to hug her mother. At that moment, she cried so hard that she felt like the sky was falling.

At that time, her mother forced herself to stay strong and told her, "Go, the farther the better, and don't come back."

Later, Liao Qian lived in the school dormitory during junior high school and high school. During holidays, all her classmates went home, but she was the only one who stayed in school.

During the winter and summer vacations, the school did not keep anyone there, so she rented a house in the city and barely made ends meet.

After that incident, she took a pair of scissors and cut off her long hair, which she loved so much, and began to focus on physical training. She even brainwashed herself into thinking that she was a boy, because if she was a boy, such a thing would not have happened.

Sometimes she even wondered why she was a girl.

My mother did not divorce my stepfather. In her words, she lived like that all her life. At that time, women in the village were used to relying on men for survival. They had never thought about living in a world independent of men.

In the village, there is no divorce unless one is widowed, otherwise the spitting will drown one.

Later, her mother gave birth to a younger brother. Whenever Liao Qian went back, she would see the wounds on her mother's body.

She barely escaped that cage, but her mother was trapped there forever.

She secretly swore in her heart that maybe when she earned enough money to support her mother, she could take her away.

After going to college, she became an adult and had the ability to earn money, so she started working part-time jobs frequently and then sent the money to her mother.

Although she also knew that her mother would give the money to her younger brother, she would never buy anything for herself.

But she would still send money back, no matter how small the amount was.

She originally thought that she would continue living like this, graduate from college, and find a job to settle down.

Unexpectedly, I would meet Wu Cheng one night during my junior year, and quietly fall in love with him.

That day, Yutong met Wu Cheng for the first time at a party hosted by He Fei, who had just started dating.

By chance, they also sang a song together, the name is "A Little Sweet"

Wu Cheng always wears glasses and has the aloof aura of a cool and arrogant student. Many people in school call him a genius. He doesn't seem to be a warm-hearted person, but his singing voice is very nice.

But he didn't look at her much while he was singing.

However, after that day, she would think of him from time to time.

But she also understood that Wu Cheng probably didn't take it to heart at all, and she was the only one whose heart was in turmoil.

It was only after she met Wu Cheng that she realized that she had almost forgotten over the years that she could dress like a girl, wear beautiful dresses, wear nice jewelry, grow long hair, and tie it into different hairstyles.

Wu Cheng's appearance made her feel that she was no longer like a girl.

Because even he would call her Brother Qian.
