Previous Life Extra (Seventeen) Seven Years Later (Added 2,000 Words)
Seven years later.
Port city.
Shen Zai has already entered middle school, studying at the top private middle school in Hong Kong.
He has grown a lot taller and is one of the best students in high school.
With his tall figure and cool temperament, he is also very popular among female classmates. From time to time, a few love letters confessing their love would pop out of his drawer.
Shen Zai threw every one of them into the trash can.
"Student Shen, will your mother come to the parents' meeting this week?"
"They said you were a motherless child and no one had ever seen your mother."
The male student who said this had no good intentions.
Teenagers of this age like to compare everything.
Family background, appearance, and academic performance.
Vanity takes over everything.
Shen has it all. His father's friends are members of the school board, and his father is involved in too many industries in Hong Kong to count.
Even in this aristocratic school with a good background.
His family background is also second to none.
Her appearance and academic performance are so enviable that they are impossible to fault.
The only thing that makes them feel a little superior is their mother who has never appeared. A child without a mother is sympathetic and pitiful.
This little bit of mercy makes them feel superior to him.
Shen Zai raised his eyelids, his expression cold as if what they brought up was not his business, "It has nothing to do with you."
The male student was not convinced and tried to block his way.
However, I was not tall enough, so I looked very short in front of him, and my aura was inexplicably reduced. He said, "Student Shen, we care about you. The teacher said that classmates should care about each other more. In the future, everyone will go abroad and we won't see each other anymore. Even if I want to care about you, I can't."
"It's not shameful to not have a mother. You don't have to be embarrassed to admit it."
Shen Zai pushed the person in front of him away, "No need."
The boy staggered and almost fell.
Shen Zai left decisively.
Parents' meeting the next day.
Unexpected.
Shen Zai's mother actually showed up at school.
His mother looked very young and didn't look like she was raising a teenage child.
She was wearing a black satin skirt, had a slim waist, long legs and snow-white skin.
very beautiful.
No wonder Shen Zai Ye looks so good, he completely inherited his mother's good genes.
Shen Zai was very happy that his mother showed up at school.
The boy in school uniform was out of character and no longer as cold as usual.
He walked up to his mother. His Chinese had improved a lot over the years. He said, "Mom, the conference room is in another building. I'll go with you."
Song Shengsheng glanced at him.
It's hard to tell whether he looks happy or unhappy.
She can go out today, so she should be happy.
But she also felt awkwardly that she was being threatened.
If Shen Zai hadn't placed the parent invitation letter on her bedside, she would not have come to school to participate in such a boring activity.
She just wanted to go out.
It's not because Shen Zai was ridiculed as a motherless child.
She said, "You don't need to accompany me. I can walk."
Even so, Shen Zai still followed his mother closely.
The tall boy followed his mother obediently.
Wearing the school uniform lazily, he looked much more cheerful, with a rare smile on his lips.
He asked, "Will Mom be happier if she goes out today?"
Song Shengsheng didn't want to answer him.
I didn't want him to feel complacent.
In the past two years, perhaps because she had gradually become obedient under Shen Zhishu's soft and hard tactics, or because Shen Zhishu was certain that she could not escape, or because he felt that she had given up the idea of escaping, he was not as strict in watching over her as before.
At least she wouldn't have to have someone watching her all the time.
After all, everyone in Hong Kong probably knows that Shen Zhishu's wife is a mentally ill patient.
He has severe paranoid delusions.
The wealthy lady was jealous of her, but also sympathized with her.
Even if she wanted to ask for help, no one would take a paranoid person's words seriously.
Song Shengsheng had done such self-righteous stupid things before. After she carefully and unknowingly built close relationships with other people, she secretly invited them to a dark place to avoid other eyes and ears.
In a very low voice, he asked her if there was any way to escape from the port city.
She felt that no one in this world could stand Shen Zhishu.
No one can stand the strict surveillance day and night.
No one could stand his various tricks in bed late at night.
She is an individual with self-esteem, dreams, and the freedom she deserves.
But when the other party heard her request, his expression became strange, and he patted her hand as if to comfort her, "Mrs. Shen, I will help you think of a solution."
The naive Song Shengsheng thought she was really going to help her, and she was so moved that tears were about to fall.
Song Shengsheng pulled her aside and continued to talk a lot, "He is really suffocating."
"He doesn't like me looking at people for more than three seconds."
"He wouldn't even let me talk to other men."
"Even if that person was just his driver or his assistant, he would be very unhappy."
The other person listened to her patiently, and when she had finished speaking, she returned to the point: "Is your car parked in the yard? I'll take your car out later. I'll hide in the passenger seat and no one will notice me."
The co-pilot's seat can be laid flat.
If she lay down, she would be out of sight.
"good."
What Song Shengsheng didn't expect was that she took her to Shen Zhishu and returned her back personally.
Shen Zhishu thanked her and said something to her, but Song Shengsheng didn't hear clearly. Her head was buzzing and her face was hot.
After that day, she knew that whatever she said to others didn't count; it was all just the confused nonsense of a patient.
Song Shengsheng slowly came back to his senses.
The boy in front of him was not discouraged either. Shen Zai was silent for a moment and continued, "Mom, I got all A's in the exams this month, and I'm number one in the grade."
"Well, our school will be better than my brother's."
His nominal elder brother is now studying at university in Hong Kong.
He achieved outstanding results and received numerous scholarships.
It is indeed a source of pride and envy.
Over the years, my brother has come to visit my mother from time to time.
Almost every weekend, he would take up part of my mother's time.
The older he gets, the more Shen Zai realizes that he is the same as his father. He doesn't like to share with others, even if the part he shares is only a tiny bit.
He was not very willing.
Song Shengsheng didn't quite understand the concept of all A's. Shen Zai seemed to have some problem. She had said countless times that she didn't care and didn't want to watch.
But he would always bring back his report card and present it to her, wagging his tail in front of her as if asking for credit and reward.
Song Shengsheng is now a little afraid of crowded places.
In recent years, she has had very little time to interact with people.
Gradually I became a little scared.
I don’t know how to talk to others.
When Song Shengsheng arrived at his class, there were already many parents in the classroom, dressed formally, looking serious and solemn.
She suddenly felt a little timid and did not dare to step into this strange classroom.
She was very sorry; she should not have come.
Private secondary schools provide all-English education, and the teachers are all top students who graduated from overseas universities.
Song Shengsheng felt dizzy when she saw English letters. Her English was still not very good, and her Cantonese was even worse.
No one at home spoke Cantonese to her, as everyone knew she couldn't understand it.
When Shen was younger, he would speak English to her. Later, his Chinese improved and he could express himself clearly without stumbling. She rarely even heard him speak English.
Song Shengsheng clenched her handbag and sat in Shen Zai's seat with an expressionless face.
There are not many students in the class, about twenty or so.
After Song Shengsheng sat down, she was still very nervous.
Counting fingers nervously.
The teacher was speaking in front, but she couldn't understand a word he said.
She felt like a piece of wood, sitting here meaninglessly.
Fortunately, Song Shengsheng was sitting next to the window, so she could secretly open the window to get some fresh air.
I have to say that the infrastructure of private secondary schools is really good.
The environment inside the school is just like what is shown in TV dramas, low-key and luxurious, with everything available.
Song Shengsheng gradually relaxed, resting her chin on one hand. Her thoughts had drifted away from her high school...
She herself was in high school at the time.
Okay, that's a long way off.
It's been a long time.
If she had such good conditions back then, would she have done so many stupid and bad things later?
Song Shengsheng actually doesn't like to recall the past. Every time he recalls it, he feels that he is really stupid.
How could there be someone as stupid as her in this world?
Shen Zai stayed in the corridor outside the classroom without leaving.
The curious students also stayed here, looking at the person sitting by the window and then at classmate Shen Zai in the corridor.
"Is this really your mother?"
"Um."
"Your mother is so beautiful."
"Um."
Shen Zai also felt uncomfortable with his classmates' rush to watch.
I don't like them staring at my mother with curious eyes.
"Your mother is so pretty, how come no previous parents have come? She is not seen in other school activities either."
"We all thought you didn't have a mother."
Shen Zai thought they were too noisy and ignored them.
The curiosity of middle school students will not last long.
Song Shengsheng was also an invisible person in the classroom and had little sense of presence.
Maybe the teacher sympathized with her, or noticed her embarrassment, and did not take the initiative to point it out to her.
However, Song Shengsheng could still sense the gazes from all directions, some curious, some scrutinizing, some probing, and some men's malicious admiring eyes towards women.
I don't know when this habit was developed.
Now she doesn't really like being stared at by others. She always feels uncomfortable and gets goosebumps.
I felt a tingling sensation and a cool feeling.
Song Shengsheng felt a little nervous. She raised her hand slowly in front of her teacher like a middle school student.
It was not until the teacher looked at her that Song Shengsheng realized that she had no idea how to speak.
I spoke Chinese because I was afraid she wouldn't understand.
She can't speak English at all.
As for Cantonese, it is even more difficult.
She stammered and remained silent for a long time.
The boy in the corridor stood up straight and knocked on the door politely the moment his mother stood up.
The teacher turned his gaze to the boy outside the door.
After Shen talked to the teacher in English, he walked over to his mother and grabbed her hand: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Song Shengsheng was not in a hurry to show her displeasure with him at this moment. She had never been in a good mood towards the men in her family, and she seldom even smiled.
It was at this moment that she realized that she had become dependent on her child.
This is the little, clingy child that she always remembers.
She came to her senses and whispered, "I want to go to the bathroom."
Shen Zai was very patient, and his voice became much softer unconsciously, "Mom, I'll take you there."
Song Shengsheng followed him out, she lowered her head and didn't want to look at other people.
Got to the bathroom.
The boy was waiting outside.
Song Shengsheng went in by herself. After going to the toilet, she looked at the person in the mirror for a long time, a little dazed, and was in a daze for a long time.
She looks like she's still the same.
Nothing has changed.
But.
His eyes were dim, as if he had no interest in anything.
In seven years, even the hardest bones become soft.
Song Shengsheng no longer knew how to struggle. The harder she struggled, the tighter the rope got, and the more pain she felt.
Who among us who is a mortal body would not be afraid of pain?
In the past, she would have searched carefully in the bathroom. Even if there was a small window, she would have tried her best to get out.
Now, she's giving up.
When Song Shengsheng came to her senses, she found herself standing by the window.
This is the first floor. It's easy to escape by opening the window.
And it can also avoid strict surveillance.
The bodyguards are all outside the school gate, so there must be a small door in the school.
At worst, she could hide in the school, let them think she had escaped, and then sneak away quietly.
But Song Shengsheng is now very considerate.
She had no ID and no money, so she couldn't buy regular plane and train tickets.
The bag in my hand is worth a lot of money.
You can go to the black market to exchange some money, and then take a black car back to the mainland.
Song Shengsheng imagined all of this in his mind.
Suddenly someone came into the bathroom.
"Excuse me, are you Mrs. Shen?"
Song Shengsheng's train of thought was abruptly interrupted. She came back to her senses and suddenly seemed to wake up.
She turned her head, looking a little dazed.
The woman who was talking to her was also stunned when she saw her face. She had skin as white as snow, delicate facial features, slightly deep eyebrows and a slight frown. Her dazed look actually added a bit of innocence to her. At first glance, she was truly stunning.
"Your children are a little worried about you."
"Are you okay, Mrs. Shen?"
Song shook his head.
She silently closed the window, walked back to the sink, washed her face, and the cold water splashed on her face, and she woke up again.
Song Shengsheng walked out of the bathroom and looked at the person waiting for her not far away.
Shen Zai walked forward and touched his mother's face, feeling a little distressed: "It's so cold."
Song Shengsheng turned away and said, "I don't want to go back to the classroom."
