Before Li Yaoyao came, Chen Xin and my mother's anxiety had reached its peak.

They tried to lock me in the cellar, not letting me show up.

"You can hide on the first day, but can you hide forever? Are you planning to lock me up for a lifetime?"

"Besides, I have many sisters in the city. If they can't find me, they will report to the police."

Then, I heard them conspiring together to make me "accidentally die."

Chen Xin instigated my mother: "Besides us, she doesn't have many relatives here. How many of her friends can she rely on?"

"Even if we are discovered, you are her real mother. The police won't suspect you of harming your own daughter. What real mother would kill her own daughter?"

"And even if something happens, Yaoyao's family will definitely bail you out. Even if you have to spend a few years inside, it's better than now, right?"

"Mom, even if not for me, think about the future generations of our Chen family!"

Smooth-tongued, oh so smooth-tongued.

I lay against the door, nervously waiting for my mother's response.

The room fell silent for a moment.

A few minutes later, I heard her say, "What if we push her into the well and drown her?"

A heart seemed to be tightly clenched, then ruthlessly thrown to the ground.

Shattered into pieces.

I have never been a mother, but books say all mothers love their children.

Conceiving for ten months, mothers and children share the same breath and fate, a bond thicker than blood.

But my mother only thinks about how to make me die.

Chen Xin started coming home late, saying he needed to coordinate research work with the school's research group in advance.

I knew he was scouting.

Sure enough, a few days later, Chen Xin suddenly said the weather was nice today.

My mother picked up, "Let's go climb the mountain together? I heard the mountain behind the village will be developed into a scenic area next year, let's go see it while it's still free!"

"Zhaodi, you used to love playing there when you were young, I remember..."

She was so natural, without any hesitation or nervousness.

"Sure, I've been back for so long and haven't gone out to see it yet."

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Xin suddenly suggested going up from the back of the mountain.

My mother agreed, "There's a maple forest on the back mountain, it's very beautiful!"

I thought, what's so special about maple trees in spring?

Is it because the maple leaves aren't red enough, so you want to add some color with my blood?

It's just that no one goes to the back mountain, and it's steep.

It's easy to fall off and die.

"Hurry up, the sun will be hot soon." My mother urged, walking ahead.

I obediently followed.

The mountain was steep, we climbed for an hour and reached a small hill halfway up the mountain.

Below was a deep cliff.

I deliberately stood on the huge rock chosen by Chen Xin, facing the valley.

Sensing someone approaching from behind, but I didn't turn around.

Letting her push me off.

"Mom, I've resented you for over twenty years."

"Yet deep down, I still involuntarily yearn for a bit of your love."

"However, those loving eyes will never look at me."

"If you have even a shred of mercy for me, I could convince myself."

"It's you who pushed yourself into the abyss."

"Don't blame me."
