Chapter 153 Caged Bird

They were in high spirits when they climbed the mountain in the morning.

By the afternoon, the two of them were somewhat exhausted.

After going around for a long time, I did get a little tired.

There was a section of the climb when Ai Lili complained that she couldn't walk anymore. Yan Xin had no choice but to turn around and hold her hand and said:

"Let me help you."

The moment she held her hand, Ellie instinctively wanted to open it.

But I only struggled slightly and then gave up.

There was nothing unusual about the expression on his face, and he even said with a smile: "You are so strong, why don't you carry me on your back."

This is quite a tempting proposition.

However, Yan Xin weighed his physical ability and finally shook his head regretfully and said: "Sister Lily, please don't blame me. I am really powerless. How about next time we go hiking in Shishan Park, I

I will carry you all the way up from the bottom of the mountain."

In fact, he was just bragging a bit.

Although Lion Mountain is not high, climbing up step by step is quite tiring.

Climbing up alone is a bit tiring, and some people even rest midway.

He really doesn't have the physical ability to carry someone up.

Not to mention carrying it from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, carrying it from the top of the mountain to halfway up the mountain is quite difficult.

However, if there is such an opportunity, he will not refuse it.

——It’s not important whether you can carry it to the top of the mountain. What’s important is whether you can carry this beautiful boss.

It doesn't matter if you can't carry it to the top of the mountain, just admit defeat if you can't.

Young people are allowed to fail.

Ellie rolled her eyes at him: "Shishan Park, such a small mountain, do I need you to carry it on your back?"

The two people held hands and climbed to the top of the mountain, looking into the distance and looking at the scenery below the mountain.

After letting go of her hand, Ai Lili unconsciously used her other hand to hold the hand held by Yan Xin, and gently rubbed it to feel the different feelings of the two.

Yan Xin suddenly asked Ai Lili: "Sister Lili, have you ever thought about leaving this city and going to a bigger place to develop?"

Ellie was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "I can't leave. My mother allows me to develop here. She has already paved the way for me in the future."

"But life is yours, don't you want to walk on a path of your own?" Yan Xin beguiled.

"I can't leave..."

Ellie sighed.

She wanted to leave her current life circle and start a new life in a strange place.

But whenever I have such a thought, a bloody picture will appear in my mind, and I will shrink back.

"Sister Lily," Yan Xin looked at her and said seriously, "you only have one youth and only one life. Do you really want your life to be like this all the time? Just like a bird in a cage,

You obviously have a pair of wings and can fly freely between heaven and earth, but you have been trapped in a cage all your life?"

Ellie avoided his gaze and said, "I...I think it's okay to live like this..."

"Do you really think it's okay at times like this?" Yan Xin said.

Ai Lili lacked confidence and said with a guilty conscience: "Although there are some unsatisfactory things...but...but it is already better than most people's lives...having a house, a car, and a stable job, most people can

I can't reach it...my mother is doing this for my own good..."

Yan Xin suddenly felt a little discouraged - what he said makes so much sense! Such a life is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Having Ellie's freedom restricted is certainly not a happy thing.

But how many people living in this world can truly feel happiness?

Everyone has his own headaches, and everyone has his own last resort.

Here he pitied Ellie for her lack of freedom. I don’t know how many people still envied her life like that.

If nothing else, just talking about himself, he may not have had a better life than Ellie in his previous life.

Many people have freedom, but for many people, freedom is the most useless thing.

They have to give up their own freedom, go to factories or companies to accept the control of others, and even accept the humiliation of others, in exchange for daily necessities.

Compared with Ellie, it's not necessarily better.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little depressed.

But he still said: "But that kind of life is just the life your mother wants you to live, not the life you want to live. Don't you want to live it for yourself?"

Ellie was in a very confused mood.

Who doesn’t want to live according to his own nature?

However, the shadow her mother brought to her was too great. When she thought of the bloody scene, she did not dare to have any rebellious intentions.

After hesitating for a long time, he still said: "Let's talk about those things later, we can always think of a way..."

When I said this, I looked at Yan Xin's eyes, and there was a hint of pleading in it, just to make her stop talking about this topic.

Yan Xin smiled helplessly and said, "Let's talk about it later. Maybe in a few years, your mother will figure it out and there won't be any problems."

Ai Lili also smiled and said, "Maybe that's the case."

But there was some pessimism in my heart: "Maybe by then, I will have adapted to this kind of life."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Yan Xin stopped continuing the topic.

After looking at the scenery for a while on the top of the mountain, and taking a few photos, and seeing that it was getting late, the two of them went down the mountain.

When going down the mountain, Ai Lili's legs were a little weak. When walking across a relatively steep slope, she stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, Yan Xin was beside her, with quick eyes and quick hands, and held her back, and then this hand

He didn't let go, and the two of them walked down the mountain hand in hand.

In the process of going down the mountain, Ellie's mood slowly became happy again.

Yan Xin thought to himself: "She was originally a positive and optimistic girl, but family factors made her unhappy."

After a day of playing, he discovered that Ellie is actually a girl who likes to play very much. She is full of curiosity about many things and wants to know more about them.

Sometimes he is even a little childish.

It can also be seen from the chat that there are many things that she has never tried because her mother won't let her, but she really wants to try them.

She may not have had rebellious thoughts in her heart, but that kind of rebellious courage had been eliminated by her mother in an extremely extreme way when she was a girl.

After coming down the mountain, it was only about four or five o'clock. This time we had dinner in Dalang, in the same restaurant as before.

She also called her mother and said on the phone:

"Mom, I won't go back for dinner tonight..."

"It's nothing, I just passed by Fengcheng Restaurant and remembered that their yusheng was delicious, so I wanted to have a meal here..."

"Yes, it's the one we often eat at when we come to Dalang..."

"Yeah, I think it's delicious too. Mom, do you want me to pack a portion for you to take home?"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll be home before nine o'clock..."

After making the call, she said to Yan Xin happily:

"I told my mother that I was eating out at night, and she didn't get angry. It seems like she won't be scolded when I go back."

Yan Xin couldn't stand her happiness - if she could eat out and not be scolded when she got back, was this something worth being happy about?

There will be two more chapters updated today, I will try my best to write them out.
