Chapter 67 Parents Are the Only Ones in the World Who Won’t Harm You

【The blue planet is our constant guardian】

【Looking forward to your eternal Ultraman】

【.】

【you are always my hero】

It was not until she heard the familiar lyrics of the ending song that Li Yuan, who was lying by the window listening to the TV next door, slowly came to her senses.

The dried tear marks were stuck on my face, making it uncomfortable to move.

Her stomach growled again, but Li Yuan was already used to it. She just wiped her face and looked out the window.

Their home was in the suburbs west of Binhai City, right next to a steel mill. Looking from her direction, she could see towering machines, a forest of steel.

It was almost seven o'clock, and the dusk was so heavy that only a tiny ray of sunlight was left outside, leaving behind a long and thin streak of glow, like a piece of scarlet brocade.

Li Yuan looked quietly at the distant horizon, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.

She kept thinking about what the witch said, what her dream was, and every detail of her past twelve years.

Thinking back on it, she realized that her past was unremarkable.

Her mother asked her to take the high school entrance exams and college entrance exams, and to find a decent job in the future. She did as she was told and studied hard.

Her mother also warned her that if she didn't study hard, she would have to get married. If she had the conditions she has now, she would not have married her father.

Her mother also showed her the chilblains and thick calluses on her hands, and told her that if she didn't study hard, she would end up being drained of energy by life like her.

Li Yuan didn't understand, but obeyed.

Li Yuan often heard that her mother would not harm her in this world.

"When you graduate from school, you can earn seven or eight thousand yuan a month just by sitting in the office. Then you will have to thank me for pushing you forward."

"Who are you going to school for? Isn't it for yourself? All the money you earn will be yours. Maybe you will despise me as a burden and don't want to support me."

"If you work harder, watch less TV, and play less now, you can increase your score by a few points. If you work harder and study harder, you will definitely be able to get into a good school and make a lot of money."

"."

If you think about it carefully, although her mother was nagging when she was a child, she was still very good to her.

However, the unexpected happened so suddenly.

When she entered junior high school, the number of subjects suddenly increased and Li Yuan was unable to keep up. Her exam ranking fell out of the top ten.

Her mother treated her situation as if faced with a great enemy and enrolled her in all kinds of cram schools at once, leaving her no time to rest at all.

Li Yuan couldn't help crying when she thought of that period. Every time her mother enrolled her in a cram school, she would poke her forehead with her hand while paying the money, saying that she was not living up to her expectations and that if she had studied hard, she wouldn't have to waste all that money.

Li Yuan could only purse her lips and remain silent, trying to get into the top ten next time.

But when she was in cram school, she was slapped hard by her mother who came to pick her up because she was a little late leaving the classroom after discussing a question with a male classmate.

Li Yuan fell to the ground, completely stunned.

In the past, the most her mother would do was poke her on the head and nag her.

But now she was beating her in public, in front of her classmates.

Li Yuan still remembers how she felt that day. Her brain was filled with blood and she just wanted to drag her mother home as soon as possible and escape from the scene.

The mother refused to give in and sprayed the boy in the face with spit.

The next day, the news spread throughout the cram school.

The boy dropped out of the cram school and Li Yuan became the culprit.

From then on, her mother became increasingly harsh on Li Yuan, who had committed the crime of premature love. Li Yuan became withdrawn and wanted to stay away from the boys in her class.

Her desk mate Xiaoya was one of the few friends she could talk to, but unfortunately she had messed up her relationship with her.

I don’t know how Xiaoya will look at her when she goes to school tomorrow?

Would she, like her classmates in the cram school, talk about how she had a tough and unreasonable mother?

Li Yuan was staring at the sky dominated by stars and the moon, when she suddenly heard a click outside the door. It was her mother coming back.

He was listening and humming a song, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Can she be released?

On the other side, in the director’s office of Star TV.

After watching the eighth episode, the station director Chu Guoming, Shen Ming and the other two took a big sip of tea before speaking, "Shen Ming, I'm beginning to doubt whether you have predicted it. Are you really going to go all out? I can even foresee the tone of the marketing account writing about you as a yin-yang parent tomorrow."

Shen Ming shrugged calmly, "Do you believe me if I say it's a coincidence?"

The conflict between parents and children has a long history, like a landmine on the border, which may be ready to explode at any time. The children's resistance is ruthlessly suppressed, or it may take many years for it to be triggered unintentionally, and then relatives will turn against each other.

But Shen Ming wanted to try whether he could eliminate these mines in advance.

Unexpectedly, this bomb blew him up before he even tried.

As for the ending, whether it will be a direct explosion to death or a glimmer of hope for survival, it depends on the ratings of this episode.

But the ratings for this episode were slow to arrive.

Shen Ming looked at the time and saw that an hour had passed.

He couldn't help but frown. What was wrong with the staff of the Starry Sky Station? They had never been so lazy before.

Chu Guoming kept drinking tea and looked confident of victory.

After a while, Chu Guoming's secretary finally came in.

His delight was visibly evident, and he shouted as soon as he came in: "It's gone up! It's actually gone up!"

"Not only did our ratings not drop, they even went up to 6.97%!!"

After hearing this number, Jin Cheng, Sun Rui and others on the side stretched their bodies straight, finally collapsed on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

The ups and downs they experienced during this day and night were just like bungee jumping in the Mariana Trench. It was really thrilling.

Shen Ming took the data report and looked at it carefully, his expression relaxed for a moment.

Fortunately.

Fortunately.

At least the audience hasn't given up on them yet.

As long as a drama has audience support, it has its meaning of existence, not to mention that they now have such high ratings, which is enough to slap everyone in the face!

"Tai Chu, now we finally have a handle to fight back. Are those so-called parents active on the Internet really crazy or are they just some online influencers? Let's catch them and expose them to the light of day!"

Shen Ming holds the ratings in his hands and is very confident.

On the contrary, Chu Guoming looked a little gloomy for some reason.

Early the next morning, Li Yuan went to school with a nervous mood. Before morning reading, she carefully put a box of yogurt in the desk hole of her deskmate Xiaoya.

She really hopes to continue being friends with Xiaoya.

However, as classmates gradually arrived, she found something wrong.

They had barely spoken to each other before and didn't even know each other's names, but he had never looked at her with that scrutinizing look.

Some people were whispering behind my back.

It was the same look as outside the cram school.

Li Yuan suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles and wanted to put her head into the hole in the table.

Just when Li Yuan was about to be killed by those looks, her desk mate finally came.

Xiaoya slapped the desks of those who were whispering and asked loudly what they were talking about.

It’s always bad to talk about people behind their backs, so everyone quickly shut up.

But there was a boy who was unruly and liked to quarrel with others. He stood up with his neck stiff and said:

"Li Yuan's mother went on a live broadcast and said that Tiga was affecting Li Yuan's studies and wanted to ban Tiga. What we said was the truth. What's wrong with that?"

Once someone spoke up and took the lead, others became bolder and began to express their dissatisfaction.

"I just watched TV, but my mom forced me to write a guarantee that it would not affect my studies before giving me the remote control. I felt so wronged, so what's wrong with saying a few words to her?"

"You're still lucky. My mom deleted Star TV and I can't watch it on my phone. I heard someone tell me the plot this morning. They don't even let me watch TV. So what's the difference between going to school and being in prison?"

"Zhang Xiaoya, you'd better stay away from Li Yuan, lest her mother starts a live broadcast one day and cyberbullies you as well. Tsk tsk, that would be really bad luck."

Zhang Xiaoya was so angry that she went up to them and argued with them, "I will fight you!!"

As a result, she had just taken two steps out when a loud bang suddenly came from behind her.

Now everyone was stunned.
