Midsummer of Eden

Chapter 14

Yin Jueming's fate is terribly similar to Zhang Chi's, but they are indeed completely different.

In the similar part, they have no parents, and they have not had the concept of parents since birth.This is why, even after Yin Jueming learned about Zhang Chi's family and growth environment, he was not surprised or worthy of sympathy.

Because what Zhang Chi doesn't have, he doesn't have either.

The difference is that there is Zhang Haiyin next to Zhang Chi.Even though the old lady was his only relative, she grew up with Zhang Chi and gave him care and protection.

Yin Jueming did not.

Yin Jueming is an absolute orphan who has no concept of parents since he was born.And he has been extremely withdrawn since he was a child.

He grew up in an orphanage, his body was not developed well, and he appeared weak.

In the group of children without parents, the children are not like other children raised in the family, and they live in a relationship of competition with each other from the very beginning.

Whoever is withdrawn and withdrawn from the group will be bullied.Resistance is accompanied by ubiquitous oppression.

Such a growth environment is undoubtedly cruel to Yin Jueming's character.But he did not deform himself, and spent countless nights and afternoons hiding in the library and reading non-stop.He applauds the wonderful stories one by one, and marvels at the different lives that are either humble or radiant.

Among the workers in the orphanage to take care of children, there is a [-] or [-]-year-old girl.Yin Jueming called her sister, and she was the only person he was willing to get close to in the orphanage.For him, his sister was the only one who was willing to protect him in his childhood environment.

"You can't escape. The more you avoid, the more difficult your situation will be." The girl said to Yin Jueming, and she touched the top of his hair tenderly, "You are a lovely child, and you shouldn't bear such malice."

The little Yin Jueming hugged the book in his arms tightly: "But why are you being nice to me?"

He raised his head, and the girl's beautiful face was reflected in his clear pupils: "Why are you different from others?"

The girl stared blankly at Yin Jueming for a moment, knelt down and pinched his face, and said with a sly smile: "Because you are prettier and cuter than them all. I like you, why not?"

Yin Jueming lowered his head again, twisting his fingers, unwilling to speak.

"Xiao Jueming, look at me." The girl restrained her dishonest expression and looked at him tenderly, "Because my sister is the same as you. I was like this when I was a child. Later I accepted myself, people should know Only when you are good, others will know your goodness. I believe that one day they will all like you."

Xiao Jueming bit his lip and raised his head again: "Sister, what should I do?"

Later, Yin Jueming really did it.

He tried to face, reconcile, and tried to express his kindness and trust on his own initiative.

At the age of 11, his body grew taller, his bones grew, and he gradually took on the appearance of a young boy.

The children in the orphanage saw a form of beauty in him.It has nothing to do with exquisiteness, nothing to do with stunning, it is a completely different kind of beauty.

When he rolls his eyes and smiles at you, you'd give him all the strawberry candy in your pocket.

Yin Jueming's good luck also followed. Among the three children supported by Qin Jifeng, he was one of the selected ones.

That was the first time Yin Jueming met Qin Shuo.

A little boy about his age, wearing a small suit and beautiful leather shoes.A completely different fate from theirs.

"And him." Little Qin Shuo pointed to Yin Jueming in the crowd.

Qin Jifeng smiled, squatted down and put his arms around his son's waist: "The first two are very talented, why is he?"

"I like him."

Just this sentence became a seed buried in Yin Jueming's heart.

On the day he left the orphanage and officially went to boarding school, Yin Jueming went to meet the girl.

"Let me tell you, you can do it." The slim girl at that time had grown into a charming woman, "Xiao Jueming, believe me. You have the magic power to make people like you."

"I can't bear to part with you, sister." The young Yin Jueming gently touched her shoulders.

The girl then smiled, very nicely: "Sister will always be here, as long as you come back, I will be here."

After graduating from high school at the age of 17, Qin Jifeng asked him if he wanted to study abroad.

Qin Jifeng witnessed the child's growth, admired his talent, and had different expectations for him.

He also said that his son is also studying abroad, and he is very lonely.

So, 11 years ago, Yin Jueming took the offer that a man had applied for him in advance. During the summer vacation of that year, he traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to study in the United States.

Yin Jueming always believed that meeting a young girl and meeting the Qin family father and son was a gift of fate and the help of noble people.

After five years, he saw Qin Shuo again in Los Angeles.

Qin Shuo is no longer the immature boy he used to be. He is talented, handsome, and well-spoken. There are many handsome men and women around him, as if he is the center of the world.

"Welcome to California." Such Qin Shuo stretched out his hand to him.

Yin Jueming looked at him quietly for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and squeezed Qin Shuo's hand: "Young Master Qin, thank you for coming to pick me up."

Qin Shuo was stunned for a moment.

after that--

"What's your major?"

"Latin Literature."

"Learn how to film with me? I heard my dad mention your talent." Qin Shuo leaned against the door of Yin Jueming's dormitory, folded his arms and smiled, "You can do it."

Yin Jueming's typing hand hovered for a second——

"it is good."

Yin Jueming accepted Qin Jifeng's funding for the first year, and from the second year onwards, he was able to rely on part-time jobs to maintain his living expenses.Yin Jueming told Qin Jifeng that the tuition fee for studying abroad should be considered as a loan from him, and he will pay it back slowly in the future.

That's it, everything seems to be on track.Even Yin Jueming felt that his life had embarked on an impossible path.

He is grateful.

After graduating from senior year, the two returned to China and returned to their hometown with honor.

Yin Jueming bought a lot of candy and beautiful jewelry back.

Candy is for kids.The jewelry is for my sister.

But later, the candy was sent out, but the jewelry was not sent out.

It wasn't until Yin Jueming stood in front of his sister's grave that he truly felt that the woman was indeed dead.

The woman he called his sister for ten years was raped and killed.I heard that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, and when she was rejected by the woman, he suddenly had evil thoughts.The evil thought was only for a moment, but his sister would never come back.

"Sin, that woman has her own problems." People say, "I usually dress up beautifully, always go out in dresses with strapless shoulders, and laugh at everyone. If she is not killed, who will?"

Slowly, Yin Jueming recalled that year when she was still a girl, squatting in front of him with a smile:

——Later, I accepted myself. People must know their own goodness, and then others will know your goodness.

"Is that true? Elder sister." Yin Jueming broke down in tears on the girl's tombstone, "You said you would always be here. You said it."

The phone ringing interrupted his thinking, it was Qin Shuo.

Yin Jueming hugged his knees to calm down for a few seconds, wiped away his tears, and answered the phone.

"Jueming..." Qin Shuo on the other end of the phone became hesitant for some reason, "I, I seem to like the one I brought you to meet that time. My dad said, if you feel suitable, date for a period of time, wait for a year of work Just get engaged to their family. You, what do you think..."

Qin Shuo on the other end of the phone pinched the phone, his palms sweating a little.He didn't know why he was guilty.

The longer Yin Jueming was silent on the other side, the more Qin Shuo felt that he endured a certain kind of suffering.Although he himself didn't know where this torment came from.

"If you like it, you can figure it out yourself." After a long time, Yin Jueming said this.

After hanging up the phone, Yin Jueming was still kneeling in front of the woman's grave, and he didn't know how long he knelt before recovering.When he reacted, he realized that he had even turned off his phone without knowing it.

Later, the woman's belongings took a "Bible".

Just because the title page says "Zhi Jue Ming" three words.

In fact, when he was in the United States, Yin Jueming even read several different translations of the Bible.But this one is different, this one was left to him by that woman.

Yin Jueming flipped through it casually, and found the section on the Garden of Eden.

The woman seemed to like the description very much, and drew the lines lightly with a pencil.

Of course Yin Jueming knew that it was a spiritual paradise, where honey and milk flowed endlessly.

The world is dreaming of the Garden of Eden, unwilling to wake up.Searching, stumbling, or looking for, or creating a spiritual paradise.

Yin Jueming closed the pages of the book and stroked the rough cowhide cover: "But sister, there is no such place in this world. You already knew this, didn't you?"

……

"This is my story." Yin Jueming stood up dripping wet.

He stood against the light, and water droplets kept rolling from between his forehead and hair.

It looks awkward and beautiful.

However, if you want to see something from his expression or swollen eyes, it is absolutely impossible.

Zhang Chi often has this feeling, Yin Jueming's eyes are like a deep pool of water, sucking people's soul, but can't see the bottom.Even now, he knew Yin Jueming's story, but he still couldn't see through this person thoroughly.

He is like a secret, because it cannot be understood, so it is easy to make others addicted.

"I really didn't expect that one day I would bring up such a thing without reservation. Especially..." Yin Jueming blinked at him, "Look, a person who looks so eager for me .”
