Drowning

Before the age of seventeen, Shen Jin was the most arrogant and domineering young master in the entire wealthy street. She is well-dressed and well-fed, with stars holding the moon, her eyebrows are extremely beautiful, and her bones are as delicate as a carefully carved porcelain doll. Relying on his wealthy family background and outstanding appearance, he has a surly temperament, arrogance and meanness, and is a being that others dare not provoke. At that time, Lu Shiyan was the quietest and most ordinary student in the class. He comes from a poor family, is taciturn, and always keeps to himself. He is clean and tolerant, like a weed growing in a dark corner. Shen Jin likes to bully him the most. Knocking his books away without causing trouble, mocking his shabby clothes in front of everyone, deliberately taking away his notes, and teaming up with the followers around him to isolate him. Everyone felt that Shen Jin was bad, vicious, and unreasonable. No one knows that this arrogant and proud exterior is Shen Jin's only protective color. Before she was thirteen years old, Shen Jin did have a complete and warm home. His father, Shen Jianming, was diligent and capable when he was young, and worked hard. His only wish was for his only son, Shen Jin, to live a life of food, clothing, and carefree life. He loved her to the extreme and was unwilling to let him suffer any injustice, and gave him all his tenderness and preference. The incident began when Shen Jin was thirteen years old. Shen Jianming came into contact with gambling by chance, and his initial thoughts were extremely pure. He watched others become rich overnight and thought to himself: Try harder, make more money, and save enough for my son to last a lifetime so that he never has to endure hardship. But no one escapes from the gambling table. Greed is a bottomless abyss. Little by little, his original intention was swallowed up by extravagant desires and a sense of luck. The father who was once gentle and caring for the family has completely changed into a different person. The anxiety of losing money in gambling and the pressure of debt completely tore Shen Jianming's tenderness into pieces. He became irritable and irritable, and the first thing he did when he came home was drink. His father, who had once been reluctant to touch Shen Jin with a finger, raised his hand for the first time. The slap fell on the young boy's immature face, causing burning pain. At first it was beatings and scoldings, endless complaints, venting all the troubles in life on the innocent Shen Jin. The family's savings were quickly emptied, followed by the car and the house. In just one year, the huge family was in ruins and heavily in debt. The huge debt of three million made the whole family breathless. Thirteen-year-old Shen Jin fell from the clouds into the mire. He lost his wealth, food, clothing, and everyone's favor, leaving only an alcoholic, violent, and hideous father. The darkest night completely crushed Shen Jin's life. Late at night, Shen Jianming was drunk and completely lost his humanity and reason. The father who was supposed to protect him throughout his life destroyed his innocence and his teenage years. In the dark room, there is no light, no salvation, only endless humiliation and coldness. Shen Jin struggled and cried, but in the end she was left with complete despair. And this is just the beginning of the nightmare. In his sinking state, Shen Jianming found a shortcut to make money quickly. He looked at his son who was becoming more and more outstanding in appearance, exquisite and beautiful, and he had dirty and animal thoughts. He sold his flesh and blood. Those rich people who covet beauty can pay 30,000 yuan a night. Thirty thousand yuan is the price of Shen Jin for one night. From the age of thirteen to seventeen, four full years. Over the course of four years, on countless dark nights, the boy was clearly marked by his biological father and turned into a tool for making money. Shen Jianming relied on the dirty money obtained from selling his son, laundered his assets, founded his own business group, and regained his position in the upper class. He wears expensive suits, visits high-end places, and is famous. Everyone praises him for his comeback and his extraordinary abilities. No one knows that behind his glamorous wealth is the bloody and rotten youth of his biological son. Shen Jin was hidden in a dark rental house, hidden from the light of day. He gradually stopped crying, struggling, and resisting. Pain, humiliation, nausea, and despair polished him day after day, wearing away all his edges, all his emotions, and all his freshness. He became numb, like an empty shell without a soul. Extravagance and wealth are the most unattractive to people's hearts. After getting rich suddenly, Shen Jianming has become completely addicted to gambling, and his nature is hard to change. After a short period of glory, he became addicted to gambling again, becoming more and more crazy and unwilling to restrain himself. In just two years, the commercial buildings he had worked so hard to build were destroyed overnight. The group went bankrupt, debts swept over the company again, and debt collectors blocked the door. Overnight, everything returned to zero, even more embarrassing than before. Shen Jianming, who was completely bankrupt and had no way to make money, once again turned his attention to Shen Jin. This is his only cash cow, his only trump card. He forced seventeen-year-old Shen Jin to drop out of school. You are not allowed to read, you are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to have your own ideas. He spoke harshly and forced his son, who was already physically and mentally disabled, to continue repeating the dirty transactions of the past four years, paying off his debts and allowing him to squander. The young master, who was once arrogant and domineering, and bullied others wantonly, was completely reduced to the humblest and most pitiful pawn at the bottom. He numbly obeyed the arrangement, his eyes were empty, his face was pale, and his beautiful eyebrows no longer had any youthful spirit, leaving only a lifeless desolation. No one outside knows what happened to the young master of the Shen family in the past. Including Lu Shiyan. After all these years, Lu Shiyan always remembered the flamboyant and beautiful boy who always bullied him. He never really resented Shen Jin. He could always see the loneliness flashing in Shen Jin's eyes, and the uneasiness hidden under his arrogant appearance. For so many years, he has been silently paying attention to Shen Jin's news. From the Shen family's glory to their sudden disappearance, Lu Shiyan only felt heavy uneasiness when he heard from his classmates that the Shen family was bankrupt and Shen Jin had dropped out of school. He looked around like crazy for Shen Jin's whereabouts. After many twists and turns, Lu Shiyan finally found the boy he thought about day and night in a dark, damp, messy old rental house. The moment he opened the door, Lu Shiyan's heart suddenly contracted and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe. The dazzling, arrogant, and thorny young master in his memory has completely changed his appearance. He was so thin that he was almost out of shape, his skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, and his long eyelashes drooped, covering all his emotions. He sat quietly in the corner, not making any noise, not crying or laughing, and did not react at all to the stranger who suddenly broke in. His eyes were empty, numb and lifeless, like a puppet that had all its soul taken away. The room was filled with a depressing and dirty atmosphere. The dilapidated environment and the unbearable past were weighing heavily on the young man. Lu Shiyan stepped closer, his voice trembling with restraint: "Shen Jin..." The familiar name made the young man who had been silent for several years raise his eyes slightly. Those eyes that were once lively, flamboyant, full of malice and arrogance are now barren, with no love, hate, joy or anger, nothing. He recognized the person as Lu Shiyan, his classmate who had been bullied by him for three years. But he was unfazed. Guilt, embarrassment, shame, pain, none of it. Four years of torture in hell had already caused him to lose all emotional awareness. Lu Shiyan looked at his numb and lifeless expression, and his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He finally understood that the harsh bullying and arrogant bad attitude in the past were just armor used by young people to disguise their vulnerability and cover up their uneasiness. Everyone got him wrong. He is not inherently evil, he is just unredeemed, struggling alone in the darkness, and protecting himself in the wrong way. When Shen Jianming came back, he bumped into Lu Shiyan. He still had no remorse, his face was ferocious, and he cursed viciously when he opened his mouth. He also stepped forward to drive Shen Jin away and pulled Shen Jin away. For so many years, he has long regarded his son as his own private property and a money-making tool, and he has never had any tenderness between father and son. This time, Lu Shiyan stood in front of Shen Jin. The boy who had always been gentle and silent showed his tough and cold attitude for the first time. He collected all the evidence, including gambling debts, illegal transactions, and his biological father's dirty crimes. Every piece of evidence was heartbreaking. Lu Shiyan used all his strength to help Shen Jin get rid of this absurd and hellish shackles of blood. He helped Shen Jin sever the relationship between father and son, made Shen Jianming, the evildoer, pay the price he deserved, and completely stayed away from Shen Jin's life. The process is difficult and slow. Shen Jin was too scared. He couldn't believe that someone would save him, he couldn't believe that he could escape from hell, and he couldn't believe that he could have a normal life. He is sensitive, has low self-esteem, is cowardly, habitually self-denies, and habitually numb and submissive. Lu Shiyan was very patient. He is gentle, restrained, and tolerant, getting closer to him a little bit, and warming his cold and rotten world a little bit. He doesn't force him or rush him, but accompanies him to step out of the shadows, accompanies him to heal his pain, and accompanies him to re-recognize the world. He told Shen Jin: It was not your fault in the past. You don't need to atone or be humble. You deserve to be loved and live well. The gentle companionship day after day melted the thick ice in Shen Jin's heart little by little. The numb eyes slowly became brighter, and the dead heart slowly grew warm. He started to be shy, dependent, and smiling, and he would carefully hold Lu Shiyan's clothes. After all the hostility, all the pretense, and all the brokenness are gone, the real person is calm, sensitive and gentle, clean and pure. Lu Shiyan and Shen Jin left behind all the unbearable past. They lived in a clean and warm little house, where the sun filled the room, the night breeze was gentle, and the years were peaceful. Shen Jin slowly regained her confidence in life and regained her own youthful appearance. He is no longer the arrogant, vicious, unloved young master, nor is he no longer the numb and rotten tool that can be trampled upon by others. He was just Shen Jin, a child whom Lu Shiyan held close to his heart and loved deeply. The past thirteen years of glory and four years of hell were all vain and suffering. Shen Jin, who once fell into the dust and was covered in scars, was finally favored by Lu Shiyan's tenderness and was fulfilled for the rest of his life.
