Yan Cuo returned to the room, held back the tears in his eyes, splashed some water on his face, and looked at himself in the mirror. He had heavy dark circles under his eyes and looked haggard.
It turned out that she really looked as bad as they said. No wonder her uncle and aunt looked at her with worry in their eyes during this period.
I smiled at myself in the mirror and said, "Yan Cuo, the battle hasn't even started yet, how can you fall down first?"
After wiping his wet face, Yan Cuo sat down at the desk again and looked at the day of the college entrance examination on the calendar. He had circled it with a red pen. It seemed very far away, yet very close.
Opening the review textbooks that he had opened countless times, Yancuo was no longer anxious as before. He really calmed down and memorized and consolidated the knowledge bit by bit.
Soon, Zhong Hongmei downstairs started calling for lunch. Yan Cuo went downstairs and looked at the table full of dishes with a bit of surprise, "Aunt, is today an important day? Why are there so many dishes?"
Zhong Hongmei scooped a spoonful of fish soup for her and said, "Try this fish soup. I've been cooking it for a long time. I heard others say it's good for your health. Drink more."
Seeing her drinking slowly, Zhong Hongmei slowly said, "There's no such thing as an important day. If there is, it's that you've finally gotten over it. You're not as worried and troubled as before. I don't know why a child like you would worry so much. Even if you really make a mistake and don't get into a good university, at most you can just repeat a year. We can still support you. Don't always think so much. You have such dark circles under your eyes at such a young age. People who don't know would think we are abusing you."
Yancuo was amused by her words, "You won't abuse me, you can't be too nice to me."
Zhong Hongmei looked at her helplessly. "Look, isn't it good to smile so much like this? Girls of your age should be happy. I'll take you clothes shopping this afternoon. I heard others say that wearing new clothes can make you feel better."
Yancuo was about to refuse, but seeing his aunt's expectant expression, he nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After lunch, they went to the department store in town. Yan Cuo looked at the familiar place in front of her, a little hesitant. Zhong Hongmei looked at her for a long time without moving, then pulled her, "What's wrong? You're already at the door, why don't you go in?"
Yan Cuo sorted out his words and said softly, "Aunt, this building is owned by Yu Muyang's family. He said we don't have to pay if we come here."
Zhong Hongmei was shocked. "There is such a thing. Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"
Yan Cuo was a little embarrassed. "I forgot about it earlier and only remembered it after coming here. Let's go buy it somewhere else."
Zhong Hongmei nodded and followed her out, but before leaving, she looked at the words "Yu's Department Store" thoughtfully.
They came to a clothing store on the street and picked out a few pieces. Yan Cuo kept saying no, but Zhong Hongmei just tried them on her and pulled her to try on anything she thought looked good. Yan Cuo was pulled to try on one piece after another, and while she was still a little confused, she had already paid and pulled her out.
Looking at the full shopping bags in Zhong Hongmei's hands, she was a little shocked. "Aunt, why did you buy so much? I have enough clothes to wear. Isn't it a waste to buy so many?"
Zhong Hongmei glanced at her and said calmly, "How can it be a lot? I bought you several sets of spring clothes, several sets of summer clothes, and some coats and pants. You can wear them all year round. Look at you, you only have a few sets of clothes, and they're the same every day. I'm tired of seeing them."
Yan Cuo was speechless after hearing what she said. He really didn't care enough about his image and always wore the same clothes. This problem had been mentioned by many people.
But Yancuo was a little worried. The cost of his schooling was very high, especially since his senior year of high school. The living expenses and various study fees were a huge sum of money. In addition, his aunt always gave him extra living expenses, so he couldn't help but feel worried.
Zhong Hongmei knew what she was thinking from the look on her face, and she placed the bags in her hands. "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, we've saved a lot over the years, and we'll all give it to you in the future. Don't worry about us all the time. What's most important is that you live a good and happy life."
Yan Cuo looked at the woman beside him, feeling indescribably moved. "Aunt, you guys are so good to me, so good that I don't know how to repay you."
"Silly child, who wants anything in return from you? As long as you study hard, get into a good university, find a good job, and come back to visit us often, that's all that's needed. Your uncle and I are old, and we're not afraid of anything except loneliness. This home would always be lonely without you. Although you don't talk much, as long as we see you, we feel like we're a real family together."
Yan Cuo stepped forward and took her other hand. "Don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you more often in the future and won't let you feel lonely. When I make money in the future, I will buy a big house for you both to live in, okay?"
Zhong Hongmei shook her head. "As for me, I'm not going anywhere. That's my home. I've been here all my life and I don't want to go anywhere. Your uncle and I will be waiting for you here. When you're tired, come home and visit."
"good."
Zhong Hongmei looked at her red eyes, full of helplessness, "I said, why are you so fond of crying? You are about to tear your eyes out."
Yancuo wiped his eyes and said, "Don't cry anymore."
The two of them walked arm in arm towards home, talking and laughing along the way, looking just like a real mother and daughter.
The only thing in this world that can truly transcend blood ties is the true love between people. What they gave Yancuo was something she would be grateful for and miss for the rest of her life.
Can't give it up, can't let it go.
After returning home, Yan Cuo took all the new clothes he had bought upstairs and hung them up one by one. As he looked at them, his mood became better. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Su He, "My aunt bought me a lot of new clothes. I'll wear them for you to see when school starts."
Su He replied, "Okay, okay. My dad also bought me a lot of new clothes. I'll bring them to you when the time comes." Then he sent a few emoticons. They were little people jumping around and waving little flowers. They looked very cute.
Yancuo copied the emoticon and sent one to her as well.
After doing all this, she suddenly thought of something, found Yu Muyang's avatar, and sent him a message.
"Will you pick me up when school starts tomorrow?"
Yu Muyang had already gone back a few days ago because the company had already started operating, so he had to go back.
"Okay, message me when you're almost there and I'll pick you up."
"Okay." Yan Cuo sent him the emoticon he had just copied, then put down his phone, picked up the suitcase and started packing, humming a little song, in a very happy mood.
She is looking forward to the future more and more. What will they be like in the future? It will definitely be the same as now, or even better.
