Chapter 2
After disbanding the bullying party, Shen Huaixin returned to his room and carefully closed the door.
As the only daughter of a wealthy family, her parents doted on the original owner undisguisedly. They built a princess bed for her and prepared a gorgeous dressing room. The decoration was so exquisite that it looked like an exquisite dream palace. Crystal chandeliers hung on the ceiling, and soft white light sprinkled into every corner of the room, covering the entire space with a layer of charming glow, making her feel as if she was in the fairy tale world of Disney.
Shen Huaixin had been poor for more than 20 years, and this was the first time he had witnessed such a scene in person. It was completely beyond the simple fantasies of the working people, and he said that the trip was worthwhile.
She held her breath, tiptoed with anticipation and nervousness, and walked towards the cloakroom - the vicious female supporting role known for her beauty, even her brother's genes were so strong, how beautiful must she be?
Shen Huaixin pushed open the door, turned on the light, and immediately exclaimed.
With smoky makeup, sausage-shaped lips and a brightly colored floral headdress, she looks like a Picasso painting, vividly interpreting the true meaning of surrealism.
Shen Huaixin took a step back and closed her eyes temporarily.
This is not true...
Yes, yes, this world is indeed not real... She will go home.
Thinking of this, Shen Huaixin breathed a sigh of relief, bravely opened her eyes, and walked to the dressing table to look for makeup remover. After repeatedly rubbing and pouring clean water, she looked up from the sink and saw a girl.
“…”
Shen Huaixin held her breath and pursed her lips. The girl in the glass also pursed her lips and looked at her with eyes like autumn water. She felt embarrassed to be stared at, so she lowered her head and smiled. Her slightly wet long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, making her look even more beautiful and refined.
As a child, Du Mingxing would burst forth in the fields, running and jumping, kicking the water from the drainage ditch, letting the free wind play through her hair, until the sun tanned her skin, turning it red and steaming. Although she bore some resemblance to the original owner, Shen Huaixin, she was far from possessing the other's exquisite, otherworldly beauty.
Shen Huaixin stood in front of the full-length mirror, smugly humming a song as he changed into several sets of clothes to admire their appearance. Finally, he chose a light-colored casual outfit and waited for his parents to come home. After all, in one's own home, comfort is the most important thing.
The first to arrive was Shen's mother who was returning home after having a spa. Shen Huaixin was stunned for a moment. Such a beautiful and charming lady, people would believe her if she said she was her sister.
"Xinxin?" Shen's mother was also stunned. The mother and daughter felt like they had just recognized each other. "You're not wearing makeup today?"
She knew her daughter was not ugly, but after all, children have their own aesthetics, so she let her paint on her face. Now it seems that it is a waste of beauty. The more Mother Shen looked at it, the more she liked it. She took her daughter's hand and sat down. She couldn't get enough of looking at it.
Shen Huaixin was a little embarrassed at first, but was soon melted by the strong family affection and let go of his alienation.
"My dear, you are so pretty. You should wear less makeup in the future. Or, mommy will find a makeup artist for you. I guarantee you will look beautiful."
Shen Huaixin keenly caught the steps, nodded hurriedly, and went down the slope: "I won't make up in the future. It's tiring to put on makeup every day."
A soft "Mom" came from not far away, and Shen's mother turned her head and smiled, her tone gentle,
"How are you adjusting to life, Chu Mo? Mom brought you two some desserts, see if you like them."
After that, he asked the servant to bring the dessert over. Shen Huaixin saw the exquisite dessert, swallowed his saliva, and waved his hand: "I won't eat it. I'm controlling my sugar."
Shen Chumo's eyes sparkled, brighter than Shen Huaixin had ever seen before, and it was obvious that he really liked it.
He grabbed the dessert and swallowed it without chewing it, with white cream all around his mouth. Then he stared straight at Shen Huaixin's portion.
Shen Huaixin had no doubt that if it were the original owner, someone who dared to covet her things so much would have covered the person's face with dessert long ago.
She was a little amused and pushed the dessert in front of Shen Chumo: "You eat it."
[Plot deviation value -1, current value 99. (Conclusion: If this continues, the collapse of the small world is imminent.)]
When Shen Huaixin saw the deviation reduction value for the first time, although it was a small step for a person, it was a big step for mankind in this small world, and his confidence suddenly increased.
Mother Shen was even more surprised to see Shen Huaixin's attitude. She looked at Shen Huaixin, then at Shen Chumo. When she looked at Shen Chumo, her eyes turned red and she choked up and said,
"My child, you have suffered..."
Before she finished speaking, full tears overflowed from Shen's mother's eyes. Shen Chumo was stunned with his bulging cheeks, and reached out to touch her tears, and was hugged into her arms by her.
Shen Huaixin saw Shen Chumo blink hard, then touched the corner of his eyes, and accidentally stained the cream on his hands on his eyelashes and eyelids.
Shen Huaixin didn't know what Shen's mother was imagining, but she was well aware of the subsequent plot. The more Shen's mother doubled her compensation for her son, the more she hated "Shen Chumo" after learning that he was an imposter and her son was confirmed dead. In her eyes, this man was the culprit who killed her son and took over his position. Keeping him around was just a way to get revenge on him.
She pulled out a tissue, handed it to Shen's mother, thought about it, pulled out another one, and wiped Shen Chumo's creamy face.
The facial features of that handsome face were squeezed together, more like a wink than sadness. Shen Huaixin couldn't stand this poor imitation.
Imitation? The word suddenly popped into Shen Huaixin's mind, and she suddenly felt that it was extremely appropriate... It was indeed like imitation, the incongruous feeling of non-human life imitating human expressions, just like in many fantasy movies where spirits transform into humans.
No wonder he will be bullied in the future. His facial expression management is so bad that it is easy for people to think he is mocking others.
The only thing to be thankful for was that Shen's mother was immersed in grief and had no time to care about Shen Chumo's expression.
Shen Chumo swallowed the cream. The boy's voice was somewhere between a man and a boy, clear and with just the right amount of solemnity: "Mom, I'm not here to make you sad."
"How could Mom be sad... woo woo..." Mother Shen hugged her tighter and tighter, her face full of tears, "Mom is worried about you... I have suffered so much for so many years, and Mom is looking forward to you in her dreams..."
"I have not suffered, and now I stand before you, safe and sound."
Shen Chumo stroked Shen's mother's back and comforted her word by word.
Shen Huaixin was moved by what he saw. True love always touches people's hearts, but when he thought of the ending of this "mother and son", he couldn't help but sigh.
In the story, it is supposed that after being hurt by the vicious female supporting character, she discovered the secret that Shen Chumo's body could heal automatically, and thus intensified her torture of him. She then told her parents, who noticed something was wrong and secretly did various paternity tests, which directly led to the exposure of the fact that Shen Chumo was an imposter.
She was determined to reverse this outcome and never become an informer, not only for the mission but also for Mother Shen.
It's just that Shen Chumo didn't blink when he lied, and was even very sincere, which made her suppress her pity and remind herself not to take her future boss lightly.
Shen Huaixin looked at the clock: "Mom, after all, the family is reunited now, don't be sad, Dad will be home soon, let's have a happy reunion dinner together."
"Well, Xinxin is right." Shen's mother calmed down and wiped away her tears. The makeup on her face did not look dirty, but instead highlighted the depth of her mother's love, which made Shen Huaixin feel sour and warm in her heart.
Over dinner, Shen Huaixin suggested hiring a teacher for her brother. As a 996 worker chosen by the system, she pulled out all the stops, playing the role of a vicious supporting actress. On the surface, she was doing Shen Chumo's best, but in reality, every time she glanced at him, she glared fiercely, suggesting she was torturing him.
Shen Chumo was like an elf who had just entered the world, learning and digesting the Eye Blade, putting it into practice, and giving feedback to Shen Huaixin.
His eyes were deep, like the gaze of an eagle or a wolf, aiming at weak prey. Even though he knew that Shen Chumo had not yet transformed into the final boss, Shen Huaixin's hair stood on end, her heart pounding, and the strong sense of oppression made her avoid his gaze, and the corners of her eyes turned red.
Shen Huaixin twisted his neck, always feeling that the position of his head was a bit uncomfortable. When he swept it, it felt like he had an extra head.
She remembered the description in the book. Blood splashed onto Shen Chumo's eyes, but his eyelids remained still, his gaze cold. The mutant in his hand gradually lost its vitality as his bones cracked, becoming a gray and withered creature. The light of energy wrapped around his arm and poured into his body, being devoured and assimilated by him.
That is not a description of a decent person at all.
It's just hard to imagine seeing Shen Chumo's appearance as a cub.
"Huai Xin, I'm very touched by your thoughtfulness," Father Shen nodded and said with satisfaction, "It seems that you two get along well. Then why not reconsider holding a press conference for your brother?"
In the original text, the original owner had always opposed the official announcement of Shen Chumo, so Shen's father and mother kept delaying it in order to take care of their daughter's mood. They planned to wait for a while until the original owner was not so disgusted before holding the press conference. Unexpectedly, not only did they not wait for the press conference, but they waited for the news of their son's death.
Shen Huaixin wanted to agree immediately, but received a warning from the system that his character was broken, so he had to give up. After all, the official announcement was a big deal, and the original owner had always strongly opposed it. It seemed that agreeing directly was indeed too inconsistent with his character.
Despite the warning in his head, Shen Huaixin said, "Let's talk about it later."
Seeing that his daughter's attitude had softened, Father Shen comforted him and gave his two children a few more dishes. Soon, Shen Chumo's bowl was piled high. Mother Shen looked at them with a smile, her eyes full of love.
Shen Huaixin stared at Shen Chumo, whose face was gradually turning into a hamster, and added more dishes to him. On the one hand, he was curious whether the villain would die of overeating. On the other hand, he also wondered with a sense of evil humor whether the final boss in the book, who was yandere, gloomy, and murderous, could possibly turn into a chubby dumpling.
late at night.
When Shen Chumo woke up from his dream, he could still feel the cold touch of the knife tip and the stinging pain caused by the slight scratch on his cheek. He began to realize that wounds would heal, but they would also hurt. After healing, invisible scars would be left, causing a dull pain under the seemingly intact skin.
Everything in the dream seemed so real, almost the same as today. He could clearly recall his feelings at that time, as if that was reality.
The only variable -
"……elder sister?"
Shen Chumo told herself uncertainly, forgetting for a moment that she didn't allow herself to call her that.
In his dream, his sister watched his wounds gradually heal and smiled, her teeth so white they made her feel cold. If enduring a little pain could make her happy, he thought, he should endure it. But that pure, innocent malice seemed to be rooted in his heart, and he couldn't forget it for a long time.
In reality, her sister's methods didn't seem so painful, just a little harsh. She cut his hair and said she wanted to hire a teacher, presumably for his own good. However, those actions made him even more confused than in his dream, and he couldn't figure out why.
So he looked more carefully and explored more, and found that her expression changed rapidly when she looked at him, naturally and smoothly, and every frame was a new and strange scenery he had never seen before. When he was fascinated by her, he regretted it when she glared at him lightly as a warning.
Never mind, he thought again, he still had plenty of time to find the answers.
