"Only" Extra

Text/Xian Zhi

"People are like cultivating bamboos in three winters, and poetry is cool with clear streams in nine summers."

——Chao Buzhi's "The poem of Qingshu Pavilion in the Second Rhyme of the Wen Qianwei Fuchang Time Wall"

For Yu Xiuzhu, the happiest time of his childhood ended at the Yu family.

Before entering the Yu family, Jiang Yiqiong was still a famous actor. During filming, he would occasionally take him to the crew to visit him. When he met a suitable role, he would also play some supporting roles to earn some pocket money for himself.

Yu Xiuzhu has been able to show his acting talent in front of the camera since she was a child, and a director has also intended to let him play some important supporting roles, but Jiang Yiqiong hoped that he would have a normal childhood at that time, so he did not agree.

That was the year when he was closest to his normal childhood.

Unrestrained and carefree.

When he was a child, Yu Xiuzhu really liked acting because children were always easily satisfied with other people's praise.

At that time, acting was insignificant for Yu Xiuzhu, but he could use enough pay for children to buy what he liked.

He never thought that the lack of the role of father would have a broken impact on his life.

Yu Xiuzhu knew that an uncle often came to visit his family, as if he was his mother's boyfriend, because every time Yu Mingcheng visited, Jiang Yiqiong could not hide the joy in the corner of his eyes.

But Yu Xiuzhu would also be curious about why she took the surname of this uncle.

Yu Mingcheng can't be too warm to him or not cold. He occasionally brings him some rare toys so that he can show off at school.

Therefore, Yu Xiuzhu did not disgust Yu Mingcheng.

But it's not like it.

He came and he received politely.

Jiang Yiqiong was well-educated and also paid attention to his education. Under Jiang Yiqiong's influence, Yu Xiuzhu paid attention to his behavior since childhood, being polite and gentle.

Every time he was hospitalized by a guest, Yu Mingcheng would always show his appreciation and say to Jiang Yiqiong: "Yes, it's because you have good teaching."

At that time, Yu Xiuzhu didn't know the meaning of this sentence. It was no surprise that he received too many praises on weekdays. Every time he humbly expressed his acceptance, he returned to his room and left the space for the two of them.

When he went to elementary school, he began to have some of his own thoughts and could also notice that the relationship between Yu Mingcheng and Jiang Yiqiong was more strange.

But Jiang Yiqiong never mentioned it to him, and he didn't know how to ask.

At that time, he had a little idea of ​​love. He knew that Jiang Yiqiong's eyes were full of joy whenever he saw Yu Mingcheng, he was thinking that Jiang Yiqiong really loved Yu Mingcheng.

He loved the house and the mistress, and he began to feel good about Yu Mingcheng.

There is no sign that Jiang Yiqiong would marry Yu Mingcheng. For a long time before they got married, Jiang Yiqiong would always ask him about his attitude towards Yu Mingcheng, "Xiaozhu, do you like Uncle Yu?"

Every time Yu Xiuzhu would reply, "It's good that mom likes it."

Jiang Yiqiong will continue to ask: "Do you want Uncle Yu to become your father?"

Yu Xiuzhu did not express his opinion on this issue. He had never had the concept of father. This role was optional for him.

With Jiang Yiqiong's preparation, when he came home from school that day and Jiang Yiqiong told him that she had married Yu Mingcheng, Yu Xiuzhu was not surprised, but would be happy for Jiang Yiqiong.

Even if Jiang Yiqiong never revealed it, Yu Xiuzhu could sense it somewhat. Jiang Yiqiong had been waiting for Yu Mingcheng to marry her.

Otherwise, why has she been devoted to this unknown relationship with Yu Mingcheng for so many years?

But Yu Xiuzhu didn't know at that time that his life would change drastically with the two's marriage.

Before entering the Yu family, he was free and unrestricted, and had a mother who loved but knew how to teach.

After entering the Yu family, his every word and action would be strictly controlled, and his growth route had long been clearly arranged.

Ten-year-old Yu Xiuzhu learned through the Internet channels that he had not known before.

After realizing it, he realized—

It turns out that "illegitimate son" in the servant's mouth is a shameful derogatory term.

That's why, in the Yu family, everyone's eyes were filled with disdain.

Yu Xiuzhu has lived in praise from others since she was a child, but in the Yu family, all the scenery belongs to Yu Mingchuan.

Yu Mingchuan is a heir who was strictly trained according to the Yu family's template. He is versatile, has excellent grades and a calm personality. He followed Yu Mingcheng to the negotiating table at a young age.

The school that Yu Xiuzhu transferred to was unable to connect with the previous school curriculum, and his grades plummeted. Because Jiang Yiqiong's previous education method made him somewhat retain his innocence and easily naughty, he was indeed pale in comparison with Yu Mingchuan.

This huge gap made Yu Xiuzhu a little depressed.

What he collapsed most was that Jiang Yiqiong had no gentleness as before. When he was criticized by others, Jiang Yiqiong would only tell him over and over again: "Xizhu, you must be successful."

He understood Jiang Yiqiong's words in a daze. If he wanted to live with confidence in the Yu family, he must be excellent and strong enough.

There is a side window in Yu Xiuzhu's room. Through that window, he can see the unpredictable sky. Every time he finishes memorizing a book or practicing calligraphy, he will always stare at the blue sky and stare at the blue sky. Perhaps one day he can regain freedom.

Occasionally, Yu Xiuzhu would also encounter Jiang Yiqiong sobbing in a low voice. At Yu's home, Jiang Yiqiong had to bear more unbearable pressure than him.

Yu Xiuzhu didn't even understand whether Jiang Yiqiong could not give up because of her love for Yu Mingcheng, or whether the power and money brought to her by the Yu family made her unable to stop.

Or, both.

But he still felt sorry for her.

Jiang Yiqiong could have had a happier life.

This feeling of distress drove him to do everything harder.

Yu Mingcheng said that he was a malleable talent, and Yu Xiuzhu never disappointed him. Yu Mingcheng intended to cultivate Yu Xiuzhu according to the template for cultivating Yu Mingchuan, so that Yu Xiuzhu can become Yu Mingchuan's right-hand assistant in the future.

When Yu Xiuzhu was in his third year of junior high school, Yu Mingcheng was nearly sixty years old and gradually entered the short process of old age. A person’s life trajectory is generally similar. At this age, the achievements of his children are more of a sense of honor.

Once Yu Mingcheng had a small gathering with his friends, and Yu Xiuzhu was also present. A first-line director who had played a small supporting role in the past recognized him at a glance and praised Yu Xiuzhu's acting talent in front of Yu Mingcheng.

That was the first time Yu Xiuzhu saw Yu Mingcheng laughing from the inside out. What's more, Jiang Yiqiong would also be happy because of Yu Mingcheng's happiness.

It just so happens that the director has a TV series to be filmed, one of which is particularly suitable for Yu Xiuzhu.

Perhaps in order to please Yu Mingcheng, Jiang Yiqiong no longer refuses as before, so Yu Xiuzhu returns to the crew again.

The difference is that this time he plays a supporting role with many scenes.

A year later, the drama was officially aired and unexpectedly became popular.

Yu Xiuzhu was beautiful when filming this drama, and her handsome outline could be vaguely seen. She quickly became popular because of her talent-added acting skills and the likability of the role.

Because Yu Xiuzhu, who was in excellent condition in all aspects and became famous at a young age, became an unexpected joy for Yu Mingcheng to live a life of life. As Yu Mingcheng gradually became obvious favor, Yu Xiuzhu's status in the Yu family began to improve.

Jiang Yiqiong also said that she was a mother and a son.

But Yu Xiuzhu was not happy at all.

The young and famous person brought Yu Xiuzhu nothing more than a less free life and a illegitimate child who could be seen everywhere. He even had difficulty in going to school every day.

Notebooks used as drafts will be stolen, and people will be squatting at the school gate every day. As long as you forget to take the textbooks home, they will become commodities.

After becoming popular, many things became uncontrollable, and there were so many announcements, and they had to maintain their academic performance. They could only work night nights every night, and had very little rest time. They also had to be careful of illegitimate children following them everywhere. This kind of life made Yu Xiuzhu miserable.

So that time he climbed over the wall at school and saw a girl standing under the woods. He habitually mistakenly thought it was an illegitimate squatting, and his first reaction was anger that burned the fire.

Although Yu Xiuzhu is usually warm and well-educated, it is difficult for anyone to bear such a day-to-day life, not to mention that he was in his first year of high school at that time.

He wanted to ask the girl if she could give him relatively free space, but as soon as he slipped, he fell down.

The girl came over hurriedly, and her words "Are you okay?" made him stunned.

It's too long and no one has cared about him.

The girl carefully helped him up, helped him check the wound, took out a handkerchief, first helped him wipe away the dust from his face, then wiped him with blood, and finally tied the handkerchief to his wound.

She told him to pay attention to his wounds, his voice was soft and sweet, and he purified his dirty soil like a clear spring.

He misunderstood her, and the girl didn't seem to know him.

Yu Xiuzhu rarely suffers from frustration.

The girl looks about the same age as him. Yu Xiuzhu has no friends in school, and it is not that he is arrogant, but he is cold-hearted. Apart from Xie Junyu and Zhou Yichen, he has not had a heart-to-heart relationship with others.

But only for this girl, he always wanted to continue chatting with her. Even if he listened to her voice, it made him feel inexplicably satisfied.

He was also afraid of being discovered by an illegitimate child, so he said goodbye to her in a hurry.

Yu Xiuzhu easily calmed down and did things, but that night he held the pen in his hand, but he could not write a single word.

Since then, the groves behind the school have become one of the few fun in Yu Xiuzhu's barren life.

Because he unexpectedly discovered that girls often appeared in the woods, muttering words, and he would not disturb them. Listening words to her can make him happy for a long time if he listened to her and recited words to herself.

The girl should be a top student, because occasionally he would see someone coming here to ask her with a question.

So Yu Xiuzhu also made some tricks, such as finding a few difficult math problems to ask her for advice.

The girl has a good temper. Even if the two are not familiar with each other, she will do her best to help him solve the problem and write the problem-solving steps clearly.

Yu Xiuzhu always has troubled her taciturnness, and she is embarrassed to speak up every time she wants to ask her for a contact information.

As his fame gradually increased, Yu Xiuzhu spent less and less time back to school, and he had another agent, Yang Quan. In the end, Yang Quan felt that it would be unpredictable for him to appear in the school again. After consulting with Yu Mingcheng and others, he hired him a personal training, but he never went back to school again.

I missed the opportunity to get to know Xia Zhi.
