The painting shows a huge eye, radiating countless black lines, like bloodshot streaks.
There are countless figures around the eyes, with twisted limbs and blurred features, like ghosts.
The whole painting feels very weird and uncomfortable. Looking at it is like being watched by a cold eye.
"Ding Yi painted this?!" Liu Jing couldn't help but ask, "How could he paint such a painting?"
"Probably so." Ding's father nodded. "The child likes geology. He has learned sketching before and is good at painting landscapes and still lifes."
"Maybe this is the world in his eyes." Song Qian speculated.
Those cold eyes and distorted figures were probably the world Ding Yi saw. There was no light at all, it was all darkness and distortion.
It's chilling to think about it, no wonder he suffers from depression.
"There are words written on it. This should be what he wants to say to you." Liu Jing added, "I hope that one day, when I wake up in the morning, I will face the happy smiling faces of my parents..."
The three of them looked at the letter together.
As he watched, Mr. Ding's tears fell. A seven-foot-old man cried until his face was filled with tears and was extremely sad.
In fact, let alone him, even Liu Jing and Song Qian felt blocked in their hearts after reading Ding Yi's letter.
What a good child, what a simple wish, but why can't it come true?
Hey, parents are so ruthless, forcing their children to a dead end.
"Mr. Ding, please stop crying." Liu Jing comforted, "Just find Ding Yi's letter. At least you know what the child wants. In the future, if you prescribe the right medicine, the child's illness will definitely be cured."
"Yes, thank you for your kind words." Dad Ding wiped his tears and said, "Teacher Song, thank you for your help too."
"You're welcome." Liu Jing and Song Qian both waved their hands.
…
After Ding Yi's father left, Song Qian also said goodbye to Liu Jing and returned to her home.
After going back, Ding Yi's affairs kept spinning in her mind. She couldn't even sit or stand. She was upset and at a loss what to do.
She was wondering whether Yingzi would follow in Ding Yi's footsteps. What if she was forced to fall ill by herself and jumped from the roof of the building?
The reason why she disciplines her so strictly is because she wants her daughter to become a talented person.
Moreover, she believed that when her daughter grew up, she would understand what she did back then and turn their differences into friendship, so she said she was not afraid of her daughter hating her.
But if my daughter is forced to become depressed and ill, even if she cannot get into Tsinghua University and Peking University, then she has done useless work.
If her daughter follows Ding Yi's example and leaps to death, then there will be no chance for reconciliation between mother and daughter, and even she will not forgive herself.
"Oh, what should I do?" Song Qian said at a loss.
I don’t know whether I should be strict or loose. If the control is strict, I worry that my daughter will be forced to get sick. If the control is loose, I am afraid that my daughter will neglect her studies.
Alas, it’s really hard for someone to die.
If she hadn't broken up with Tong Wenjie before, she would still have someone she could negotiate with. But now, she doesn't have a friend who can speak her mind.
There is no one to spare, and the lonely sandbank is cold.
…
Ding Yi's incident soon spread to Chunfeng Middle School across the street.
Wang Yidi was the most well-informed and started gossiping with his classmates during the third period in the afternoon.
"What?! It was Ding Yi who jumped off the building, right?!" Yingzi asked in surprise when he heard her words.
She had heard about the jump from the building in the morning, but it was the first time she heard that it was Ding Yi who jumped from the building.
"My mother told me, it can still be false." Wang Yidi said firmly.
"How is that possible? I know him. He has been admitted to Tsinghua University. What reason is there for him to jump off the building?" Yingzi asked in confusion.
"Wow, Tsinghua University! What a top student!"
"I want to be admitted to Tsinghua University. Le Dule is crazy. How can I commit suicide?"
"Wang Yidi, shouldn't he have the same name?"
When the students heard this, they also questioned one after another.
"Of course not. Stop arguing and listen to me." Wang Yidi waved his hands and said, "This Ding Yi is the Ding Yi who was admitted to Tsinghua University.
The reason why he jumped off the building was because his parents were usually too strict and did not give him any private space. They simply treated him like a prisoner.
Moreover, Ding Yi wanted to go to the University of Geosciences, but his parents forced him to apply for the Department of Finance at Tsinghua University, so he couldn't think about it and became depressed. It is said that he couldn't sleep all night long, and he was forced to take a break from school just one month after school started. "
"So that's how it is, oh, this is such a pity. You've all gone to Tsinghua University, why don't you endure it anymore? Is geology really that good?"
"Even if my parents are very strict, and even if I didn't go to the University of Geosciences, Tsinghua University is not inferior, and I won't be depressed. In my opinion, this is not knowing the blessings in the midst of blessings."
"That's right. If I were admitted to Tsinghua University, my family would even have a three-day thank you banquet. This Ding Yi is just hypocritical. A well-fed man doesn't know how hungry a man is when he's hungry."
After listening to this, the students complained one after another, thinking that Ding Yi was fragile and pretentious, and did not understand his behavior.
…
After listening to Wang Yidi's words, Yingzi was deeply moved.
She was in a similar situation to Ding Yi, and she was also forced to study every day. I also wanted to go to Jinling University, but my parents forced me to take the exam at Tsinghua University.
Therefore, Ding Yi became depressed and became ill, and wanted to die to gain relief. She understood very well. To be honest, she had thoughts of suicide several times. But she really didn't have the courage to do it.
"Stop talking about him like that. If he wants to live happily, why would he want to commit suicide?" Yingzi defended him, "He just lives in too much pain. He has been dominated by his parents all his life and cannot do what he likes." You can't go to the school you like.
What's the point of living this kind of life no matter how long it lasts? That's why he wanted to die to find relief. I understand his approach. "
Hearing what Yingzi said, the classmates looked at each other, and then nodded.
In fact, most of them are like Ding Yi. They have been controlled by their parents since childhood. They decide which school to take and what major to study.
It's just that the tightness of the tubes is slightly different. They also share Ding Yi's pain.
"I understand too." Tao Zi agreed, "Actually, I am also under a lot of pressure. My parents don't care about me, but I don't want to disappoint them."
"Me too, I'm under a lot of pressure." Lei'er nodded and said, "I want to be admitted to Tsinghua University and realize my mother's dream."
"Me too." Wang Yidi sighed, "My mother wants me to get admitted to Yanjing Film Academy. But it's really difficult. I really don't have the confidence to do it."
Hearing what they said, the students were all disappointed.
"Hey, I really envy Fang Houer. He is the only one in the school who has no pressure. He can choose from famous schools around the world and doesn't have to worry about the college entrance examination at all." A classmate couldn't help but said.
After hearing what he said, everyone nodded in unison.
