-----------
Some childhood scars are irreparable; they will affect the shaping of character. The lack of some family love is irreparable; it will accompany you for the first half of your life. Yu Shuying agreed, and the audience under the stage also agreed.
Now, a new scene appears: he was discharged from the hospital. Because there was no money, since the prior funds had been used to repay a loan, Yu Ye was discharged despite the doctor's dissuasion.
It was midnight. He was holding the child Shuying, followed by Liu Shi; the family walked in the night. This scene is beautiful, even though Yu Ye has a morbidly pale complexion. He is still very handsome. The family of three looks very good. A roadside cameraman couldn't help but take a picture, then smile and give it to them.
When the photo appeared, Yu Shuying's memory seemed to open bit by bit. She remembered that when she was five years old, she looked through a drawer and saw this photo, which she then deeply stored in her mind.
At that time, her father had just returned from work and said casually, "This is what your mother paid someone to take a photo of. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken one. And what nonsense is spending money?" Only now did she realize where the photo came from.
After Yu Shuying finished speaking to the audience, some people couldn't help but exclaim:
"What the heck is going on here? Her father was lying when she was a child."
"Why did he lie? Why did he never tell her about her mother's character?"
"This isn't like that kind of scum, this man being discharged from the hospital to save money."
The host spoke: "Everyone, please be quiet. And don't forget, after Shuying grew up, this father was incompetent. It is estimated that after her mother's death, Yu's father degraded." After the host spoke, others nodded in approval. Including Yu Shuying herself, who also nodded, because his actions afterward aligned with this view.
She couldn't help but say with disappointment, "Because of my father's illness, I began to have a temper, and I started to let my thin, beautiful mother run around. Everything made my mother work so hard that she became ill and died early, leaving behind an increasingly grumpy and stubborn father."
After she finished speaking, the others looked on with pity and didn't know what to say. This father was still a good man in the early stage, but he became truly bad later. The current discussion was:
"Hey, this man has a hard life, but he shouldn't treat his children like that either.""Yeah, and letting his wife do all the heavy work, what kind of man is that?""Hey, this person can't even be lazy when he's sick!"
The scene continues. The details of the current scene are vivid, like a projection that reveals young Shuying's past. The atmosphere of decadence in the slums is reflected in everyone's eyes.
When the family of three returned home, scenes unfolded: the old grandmother setting up a street stall late at night, the woman still crying at another door, some boys holding sticks, smashing the car's windows, and drunkards lying on the ground.
From every scene, if viewers switch places, they might feel it's too difficult to survive here and become a superstar. It's too easy to be pulled into a desperate reality. Food, drink, and survival are all problems. How can one pursue pure ideals? Furthermore, how degenerate and decadent was Shuying's father? Many people are curious.
The scene shifts. The rental house, flats, dilapidated, with cockroaches, decorated in a style from the last century. The first meal Yu Ye prepared was steamed crabs for his daughter. He didn't want to eat any; only his wife and daughter did. Afterwards, he took a brain suppressant and went to work.
After a few months, he received 500,000 yuan in compensation and a resignation letter because he was a high-level executive. Looking at the resignation letter, Liu Shi fell silent for a long time. She spoke only after young Shuying had fallen asleep:
"Let's get a divorce and let Shuying stay with me. I don't want to live in this harsh environment. You know, my daughter shouldn't live here, there's rubbish everywhere, the smell of urine, and we have to go to the public toilet. It's always crowded, and the water often doesn't stop running. No air conditioning, no babysitter, only homeless people, drunkards, and noisy quarrels upstairs and downstairs."
"I hope you don't delay us both," Liu Shi said coldly. She was crying, but her expression was determined.
Opposite her, Yu Ye sat on a wooden stool, wearing white pajamas. His face was morbidly pale, and he was weakly silent for less than a minute before speaking firmly: "Take the compensation. The child belongs to me. After that, you can no longer see her, and you're not eligible to come."
Yu Ye looked at her, and it was as if he were back in the old days, when he was in his prime. That look once attracted Liu Yue, but now she only saw reality. She nodded, went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, signed the divorce papers, and took the money. The only things she left Yu Ye were two gifts: a small family debt and Shuying, whom Yu Ye regarded as his life.
At that time, Shuying was just three years old. When she cried for her mother, Yu Ye hugged her and spoke softly: "Your mother went somewhere far away. She loves you very much and left you a lot of envelopes. Your mother is the best, but your father is not good. I am lazy and let her work hard. She was sick, and now she's gone. This is the envelope your mother gave you when you turned three. I'll sing for you."
Yu Ye held young Shuying, wiped her tears, and sang softly:
Dark sky above,
Bright stars follow.
Insects fly,
Insects fly so low.
Who are you missing,
In the silence of the night?
The stars in the sky are crying,
Shedding silver light.
Withered roses on the ground,
Memories that make no sound.
Cold wind sighs,
Cold wind sighs all around.
But I won't fear what's yet to be,
As long as you are with me.
Even as the stars fall free,
...As long as you are with me.
And this moment...
