"I can't hide it anymore. I told her everything after she pressed me yesterday. Do you want to come up and sleep with me?"
"No, I'm afraid I can't control myself. Your body can't handle that kind of torture right now...so I'd better sleep here."
"Okay then, good night."
"good evening."
…...
The next morning...after eating dumplings and sending her to work...
I was walking alone on the street, wandering around here and there...without any purpose, just walking around casually.
Soon the phone rang.
At first glance... it was Dad.
I was a little depressed and hesitated for a while. I made up my mind and answered the phone, ready to be scolded.
Dad said in a calm tone: "You don't want to go to school anymore after leaving, right?"
I was silent for a moment and said firmly: "I really don't miss you anymore. It's meaningless..."
"The school just called me and said you've been missing for ten days now. You've been asking people to sign in for you every day. Don't treat them like fools. They know, they just don't say it occasionally. But this is too much." There was no blame in the father's tone, but there was also a hint of helplessness.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." I whispered.
"I'm not disappointed. You're an adult now, and you have your own choices. Take the road ahead with a down-to-earth approach. Don't be too ambitious. If you can't achieve anything, come back and work at my factory. I don't seek wealth, but getting married, having children, and having enough food and clothing should be no problem."
"I see," I responded.
"Well, that's it. When you have time, give your mother a call. She's still angry, and I need to go and talk her down. Don't get into trouble now. You know your mother's health."
Then hung up the phone directly.
I stood on the street holding my cell phone...I sighed deeply, then looked up at the sky...The sun was so dazzling that I couldn't open my eyes.
This feeling... is just like the road ahead of me... Although there may be thousands of opportunities in society, my vision is blinded by the dazzling light... I don’t know how to grasp them.
I squinted my eyes slightly... stretched out my hand to block the glaring sun, and a ray of sunlight came in through my fingers... the light allowed me to see clearly.
"Is it hope?"
I murmured to myself...and stayed there for a long, long time.
