Saturday is the final of the Magic Contest.
Fu Yao deliberately asked for an extra ticket, and gave it to Ye Ran when she went to school the day before.
She saw Ye Ran staring at the ticket for the whole class, as if he had never seen the world.
Has he forgotten that he is a rich second generation
Seeing him smile, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Fu Yao entered the arena with the Firebird Magic Troupe. When the game was about to start, she planned to watch the match from the audience and called Ning Zihui, "Mom, shall we go to the audience?"
Ning Zihui gave her a white look, "Are you stupid? I am the assistant of the magician Mr. Rogers! I am also a magician! How can a magician be in the audience?"
She later learned that Mr. Rodgers, though not sucked up after descending into the burrow, had also been knocked unconscious by the effect of the bell. After waking up, he blamed himself very much, thinking that he had harmed Ning Zihui, and he never performed again.
Ning Zihui didn't know the current contact information of Rogers. She also wanted to let Rogers know that she was back.
That way, he won't blame himself so much.
Amid thunderous applause, the performance of the Firebird Magic Troupe officially began.
They appeared late, but they received the most enthusiastic applause.
Many of the fans who came to watch the game were Fu Chengyan's fans. As soon as he came out, the fans immediately screamed.
"Mr. Fu is even more handsome!"
"As expected of my husband!"
"Hey, he changed his assistant, the assistant is so beautiful..."
"Ah, why did he hold hands with the assistant? Didn't he always treat the assistant as a tool?"
The real tool man Xie Ying sitting under the stage: "..."
Fu Chengyan bowed and saluted as usual, and started his performance.
The magic in the finals is his best way of transforming living beings. What is different from the past is that this time he directly changed two people.
Fu Chengyan and his female assistant appeared on stage for a while and disappeared for a while, which shocked the audience.
That way seems to be saying "change a living person or something, just change it casually".
The audience whispered in the audience.
"How many times has this changed?"
"Too many to count..."
"This is too handsome..."
"He hugged the female assistant just now! Something is wrong, something is too wrong!"
Fu Yao ate the candy brought by Ye Ran in the audience, thinking: I'm an old couple, there's nothing wrong with hugging.
Ye Ran didn't look at the stage at all, but turned around and asked Fu Yao, "Is it sweet?"
Fu Yao nodded, "Sweet."
There was no suspense in the result of the competition, and Fu Chengyan won the first place again.
A large number of reporters poured into the backstage, wanting to interview Fu Chengyan.
But when they got backstage, Fu Chengyan had disappeared.
The reporters couldn't figure it out at all.
"I failed to capture Mr. Fu after several entrances!"
"Strange, where did he disappear from?"
"He's a magician, isn't it normal to disappear?"
…
The weather is getting colder.
A month later, there was a heavy snowfall.
On a snowy day, Fu Chengyan and Ning Zihui packed their things at home and prepared to move.
They recently bought a large duplex house with two upper and lower floors, a well-decorated finished house, which has been put away for a year, and they can live in it after moving in.
They didn't hire a moving company, because with the bell space, everything can be put in the space, which is more convenient than hiring a moving company.
After learning how to use this space, the Fu family can no longer live without it.
Fu Chengyan sometimes buys too much food, and throws it directly into the space, because time stands still here, and everything will not deteriorate and rot.
It's so much better than a refrigerator.
Moreover, the space is full of spiritual energy, and Fu Chengyan can recover spiritual energy in it.
Now he even has to use spells for cooking, and he is not as cautious as before. Anyway, he has endless mana to squander.
Every night, Ning Zihui would pull Fu Yao into the bell to sleep. Her explanation was: "Time stands still here, and you won't grow old inside!"
Fu Yao smiled, "No need?"
Ning Zihui said with a straight face, "One day in the future, what should you do if you look older than me? Do you want people to think you are my mother? Be good, I will move in your bed."
Fu Yao: "..."
Xiaoduo carefully held his kitten litter in his mouth, for fear of missing it when he moved.
It was obviously much bigger. At this moment, Liu Sisi called and wanted to make a video call with Fu Yao.
Fu Yao knew that she missed Xiaoduo, so she connected to the video and held Xiaoduo on her lap for Liu Sisi to watch.
Liu Sisi's expression remained silent for a few seconds.
"Fu Yao, what did you feed it?" Liu Sisi jumped up, "How did it grow so big? It's only been a few months? Is this really Xiaoduo?"
When Xiaoduo saw the old owner, he stretched out his cat's paw and scratched in the direction of the camera a few times, saying hello to Liu Sisi.
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Sisi sighed, "Xiao Duo, eat less, how fat you are..."
Xiaoduo: "Meow!"
Xiao Duo is not fat, Xiao Duo has grown up!
The process of moving is very simple, just take the bell away. Take out the contents after arriving at the new home, saving you the trouble of moving up and down.
The new home has a lot of space, and the decoration is also very new. Fu Yao's room is very big, and there is a big wardrobe inside, which is full of clothes that Ning Zihui bought for her.
Although she doesn't like Fu Yao calling her "mother", Ning Zihui still likes her beautiful and smart daughter very much. She disliked Fu Chengyan's bad eyesight, so she insisted on helping her daughter buy clothes by herself.
Thanks to them, Fu Yao never had a chance to buy clothes by herself.
The new home is closer to No.7 Middle School, and it is more convenient for Fu Yao to go to school.
The final exam is coming soon, and the students of the No. 7 Middle School are busy. Coupled with the cold weather, it is difficult to see the students playing on the playground.
The students in the entire elite class, except for Fu Yao and Ye Ran, all chose to live in school, and everyone can't wait to study against the clock.
One week before the exam, when Xue Jiayu was in class, she suddenly fainted, and her deskmate screamed in fright.
After being diagnosed by the school doctor, it was a heart disease caused by lack of sleep. The school doctor told her to take a good rest, and she could recover slowly.
Xue Jiayu took a break from the school doctor for two classes, and then came back to class.
No matter how much Teacher Huang persuaded her, she didn't listen, so she had no choice but to call her mother.
When school was about to leave, Teacher Huang called Fu Yao into the office.
Mother Xue was also sitting in the office. Fu Yao had been in her car last time, and when she saw her, she politely called out, "Hello, Auntie."
Mother Xue's eye circles were red, obviously she had just cried.
When she saw Fu Yao, she immediately stood up, and her expression became a little excited.
"Student Fu Yao, Auntie...can I ask you for a favor?" Xue's mother seemed to be a little hard to say, she paused and said, "I miss you...do you take less exams in the final exam? Catching up with you... She almost put her own life in it."
As he spoke, he wiped his eyes.
Fu Yao was stunned.
Is it because of her that Xue Jiayu worked so hard
She frowned, and said slowly: "Auntie, even if I am willing to reduce the test score, Xue Jiayu will not believe it?"
Teacher Huang looked a little embarrassed, "This... It's against the rules to ask students to deliberately score less in the test. This ranking is actually quite important to them, and it's related to scholarships."
Mother Xue said quickly: "I will pay for the scholarship! Double the pay!"
Fu Yao didn't speak for a while, and finally she said: "Auntie, I think she should see a psychiatrist. There must be some reason for her condition, and it can't be cured with just one exam."
Saying that, she bowed her body, turned and left.
It's not that she doesn't want to help, but she feels that even if she deliberately lowers her test points, it won't change anything.
That night after school, Fu Yao went home in Fu Chengyan's car. She accidentally glanced at the rear view mirror, and suddenly found that Xue's mother's car was following hers.
Is this person... crazy
Fu Chengyan also spotted the car, and his car stopped at the gate of the community, waiting for Xue's mother's car to catch up.
Mother Xue stopped the car and got out of the car. She didn't seem to be in good spirits, with a worried look on her face.
"Classmate Fu Yao," Xue's mother came over, "Auntie knows you are a good boy, please, please save my Jiayu, if she continues to go crazy like this, her heart will not be able to take it... I'm afraid of her..."
As he spoke, he began to cry again, shaking his body as if he was about to fall.
Fu Chengyan hurried over to support her, but Xue's mother was still crying, which made Fu Yao feel a little bit unbearable.
She said helplessly: "I can promise you... But Auntie, listen to me. What Xue Jiayu needs now is a psychologist. Even if I do this, I can only help her for a short time. In the future, she will meet stronger opponents." …can you make her opponent give way to her every time?"
While talking, she noticed that the ghosts of Xue Heng and Mrs. Xue were wandering in the community. When Xue Heng saw Mother Xue, she rushed over.
"What happened? Why is she here?" Xue Heng was emotional, "What's wrong with her? She looks so bad, is she sick?"
Fu Yao glanced at Xue Heng.
He... knows Mama Xue
Think about it carefully, Xue Jiayu is also surnamed Xue...
their relationship...
Fu Yao thought about it, and blurted out: "Auntie, do you know Professor Xue Heng? He was a professor at Peking University before his death."
Aunt Xue was slightly startled, "He is my father-in-law, that is, Jia Yu's grandfather... how do you know him?"
Fu Yao didn't answer her question, but just said: "Auntie, can you bring Jia Yu here and let me have a talk with Jia Yu, okay?"
Aunt Xue hesitated, "Talk to her... she may not be willing to talk to you, right?"
Fu Chengyan suddenly said: "Let her come, she doesn't want to see Yaoyao, but maybe...she really came, something will change..."
Aunt Xue stayed for a long time before she seemed to have made up her mind. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll think of a way."
She drove away, Fu Yao turned around and asked Xue Heng, "Grandpa Xue, you should know... Where is Xue Jiayu's heart trouble?"
Xue Heng's expression was a little painful, Mrs. Xue frowned, and finally said: "Let me say it... This is a problem with our education method, and it is our fault. We always feel that this wrong education method It may bring bad consequences... As it turns out, Jiayu's situation is more serious than we imagined."
Fu Yao and Fu Chengyan got into the car, drove back to the community, and walked upstairs.
Mrs. Xue said as she walked: "We are both university professors. After Jiayu was born, we thought that with our two abilities, we could make her the best child. We also asked her to do so. Since she was still in her When the mother was in the womb, we used prenatal education to train her. After she was born, we even used various methods to intervene in her growth to cultivate her IQ and various abilities. This child showed that she was different from other children at a very young age. Different intelligence, we are very happy."
"Later she went to kindergarten and won many championships for young children. Every time we gave her rewards and told her 'as long as you are the best, you can get everything you want', we said that Yes, we did the same. Since childhood, as long as she wants, we will give her whatever it is."
"When she was six years old, she took part in the National Speed Calculation Contest. She beat several adults in the competition and won the championship. We were very happy, and it happened that the next day was her birthday, so we wanted to celebrate her."
"Her mother ordered a cake for her a long time ago. When she got it back, Jiayu said that her classmate had a princess cake for her birthday, and she wanted it too. Her mother was very embarrassed, but her grandfather thought that what was promised to the child must be done. Then, he drove me to a store far away from home to buy a princess cake, and we waited there for more than an hour, watching the pastry chef make the cake, put it in a box and take it home."
"At that time, it was almost dark, and her grandfather was driving very fast in order to go home quickly. There was a car accident on the road... Her grandfather went there on the spot. I stayed in the hospital for two months, but I couldn't save her. Come back and follow."
Fu Yao recalled that she met Xue Heng and his wife when she was six years old. At that time, Xue Heng came first, and he brought Mrs. Xue with him a few months later.
Xue Jiayu is as old as her, so...
Mrs. Xue saw Fu Yao's thoughts, she nodded, "We treat you as a granddaughter, because we can't get close to Jiayu, and if we appear by her side, Yin Qi will hurt her. But we found that , you are not afraid of the yin energy in us. We transferred our concern and love for Jiayu to you, and you are also very uplifting, which makes us very gratified."
"We were always worried about Jiayu, and then we often went to see her quietly. We didn't dare to approach her, but only dared to look at her from a distance. This child is getting better and better, but she is also getting more and more abnormal. She no longer wants to Parents asked for anything, but she often repeated a sentence 'as long as I am the best, I can get everything I want'!"
"Looking at her like this, we have already realized that there was something wrong with our education back then. But we hope that this situation will change when she grows up."
"She has always been very good. Since she was a child, she has been the first in almost every exam. When she was in elementary school, she once got second in the exam. She was like crazy. She studied day and night, and finally After she was chased back, she slowly became normal."
After Mrs. Xue finished speaking, Fu Yao said: "So, the reason why she is like this now is because she felt guilty for causing you to have a car accident back then?"
If Xue Jiayu wanted the princess cake without willfulness back then, Xue Heng and Mrs. Xue would not have had a car accident.
But Xue Jiayu's waywardness was not caused by Xue Heng and his wife
Ning Zihui came out of the kitchen. She waved the spatula and said, "You need someone to tie the bell."
She smiled at Fu Chengyan, "Ah Yan, dinner is ready!"
…
In the evening of the next day, Mother Xue brought Xue Jiayu to Fu Yao's home.
As soon as Xue Jiayu entered the door, she couldn't wait to grab Fu Yao, "My mother said that you have learning skills that you can teach me, is it true? Don't lie to me!"
Fu Yao saw the embarrassment on Xue's mother's face, and knew that this was a lie she made up to get Xue Jiayu to agree to come here.
She smiled slightly, "Yes, but I can't teach you so easily, do I look like such a selfless person?"
Xue Jiayu snorted, "It's not like... Tell me, what's the condition?"
Fu Yao hugged Xiaoduo and stuffed it into Xue Jiayu's arms, "Help me take care of the cat."
Xue Jiayu frowned and looked at the cat in her arms. Suddenly, her eyes became blurred, as if she had lost her soul.
Mother Xue asked quickly: "What's wrong with her?"
Fu Yao pointed to the sofa, "Auntie, sit down for a while, she... will be fine soon."
When Xue Jiayu picked up Xiaoduo, he found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
She is not at Fu Yao's home, but in her own room... not the current room, but the room in the old house more than ten years ago.
She walked out of the room and saw her grandparents sitting in the living room, but they were not watching TV, but were discussing academic issues with serious faces.
"Grandpa, grandma!" Xue Jiayu yelled loudly, "You are still alive!"
But Xue Heng and Mrs. Xue seemed to be unable to see her, and were still discussing the matter with their heads down.
While discussing, Mrs. Xue suddenly burst into tears, and she choked up, "We...can't win the championship of this academic competition?"
Xue Heng looked serious, "If you can't take it, you have to take it! Have you forgotten Jiayu? She just had an accident to get a cake for our wedding anniversary. She wants us to be the best people, and we can't lose to Anyone! Don't sleep these days, finish this paper!"
Mrs. Xue nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we must be the best!"
Xue Jiayu didn't quite understand for a moment.
The person who caused the car accident was not grandparents, but her
But what are they doing? How can a person not sleep? They are all so old...
"Grandpa and grandma, don't do this, go and rest!" Xue Jiayu shouted loudly, "The body is the most important thing, I don't want you to become like this for me!"
But Xue Heng and Mrs. Xue seemed to be unable to hear, and kept looking at the information in their hands.
After an unknown amount of time, Xue Heng suddenly clutched his heart and convulsed.
Soon, the doctor came, and after making a diagnosis, he sighed, "Heart failure caused by overwork is hopeless."
"No!" Xue Jiayu shouted loudly, tears instantly blurring her vision.
But what she saw was no longer her own home, and the scene in front of her was Fu Yao's home again.
Xue Heng and Mrs. Xue were floating in the air, looking at her with a smile.
"Grandpa! Grandma!" Xue Jiayu rubbed her eyes, "Are you still alive?"
Mother Xue cried out: "Dad...Mom? You..."
Xue Heng smiled, "We are going to a beautiful place. Before we leave, there is something I want to say to Jiayu."
He bent down and said softly: "You misunderstood what Grandpa said before. Grandpa wants you to be the best of yourself, not the best of everyone. Can you... understand?"
"I..." Xue Jiayu stretched out his hand to grab the two old men in front of him, but when he reached out, he couldn't catch it.
She stayed for a while, then nodded slowly.
"Grandpa, grandma, I always thought that I would become the best person and get everything I want the best..." Xue Jiayu looked up at them, "Seeing you, this is everything I want!"
Xue Heng and Mrs. Xue walked up to Xue Jiayu and hugged her with their empty bodies.
Then, they looked up at the shocked mother Xue and smiled at her.
After that, they just disappeared.
Xue Jiayu let out a "wow" and burst into tears.
