"I thought you weren't coming back."
"Mom, I miss you so much... How could I not come back?"
After hearing what I said, my mother walked in and sat down. She said angrily, "Eat first! We'll talk after we finish eating!"
I nodded quickly...and went in and sat down.
The dinner table was eerily quiet... only the sounds of chewing and swallowing could be heard.
I spoke first, breaking the silence: "Mom, don't be angry, I know what I am doing, I have my own ideas."
My mother glared at me and said, "Nowadays, when looking for a job in any industry, people look at your diploma first. We spent so much money to send you to college, and you just pat your butt and say you don't want to go to school?" Her face became more and more gloomy, and she was obviously getting angrier and angrier as she spoke.
"Society is different now than it was back then. College is just about spending your family's money and having fun. I don't want to waste my time anymore."
"So what do you want? Work in a factory? Like your father and I... getting up early and going to bed late every day, working ourselves to death for a few thousand dollars a month. Do you think such a life is interesting? I just hope you don't follow our path, but can be more promising, get a diploma, and at least be able to work in an office." The old mother frowned, her face full of worry and anger as she spoke.
I looked at my dad for help.
Dad glanced at me, put down his chopsticks, sighed helplessly, and slowly said to Mom, "The child is grown up now. It's better to let him go out and try his luck. A diploma really isn't that important right now. Lin Zeming's son next door graduated from college over a year ago, and now he's unemployed and working at a construction site with his uncle."
After listening to me, my mother sighed, looked at me and asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?"
I looked at my mother seriously and said, "Let's just finish our work here this year. The boss treats us very well. Next year I want to go to a big city to try my luck..."
After a lot of talking, I ended up neither agreeing nor disagreeing with my idea.
…
…
At night, I returned to my room and called Chang Yue.
After the call was connected, I was the first to speak: "Baby, what are you doing?"
Chang Yue said teasingly, "I thought you went back and met that little girl, and forgot about me. There's not even a message."
"How could that be? You are the only one in my heart."
"Humph, I don't believe you. Has Auntie calmed down?"
"With my intelligence and talent, I silenced her and she finally had no choice but to compromise."
..
After chatting for a while, I hung up the phone.
I took a shower, sat at the computer desk, rubbed my temples, and thought about my future plans. I had no goals, which was really frustrating.
I glanced at it casually...on the bookshelf...Ye Yao's diary...I had begged her for it before.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I stood up, took it down, and opened the first page. In fact, I had read the content above a long time ago. But when I read it again, I still felt a different emotion in my heart.
【Weather: Sunny.. Mood: Mixed
I encountered some things, but some of them could not be written in that notebook, because sometimes I would exchange them with my sisters, so I secretly bought a diary at night to record them.
Today, I was playing basketball with Zhao Zihan and the others when a group of boys came over, yelling and making noises. I felt very childish and uncomfortable. Suddenly, one of them said, "Stop yelling. How can you be so unlucky if you've never seen a girl before? Let's go somewhere else." I glanced at him. He wasn't very tall or handsome, about 1.7 meters tall, and quite sunny.
While I was lost in thought, I heard a voice saying, "Be careful!" I turned around and saw a basketball coming towards me. I was a little confused because it was so fast. The boy appeared in front of me out of nowhere, caught the ball, smiled at me and said, "Don't be distracted when playing basketball." Then he walked away. That smile was very warm to me.
After he left, I no longer had the desire to continue fighting. On the way back to the dormitory, Zhao Zihan said a lot in my ear, but I didn't hear a word.
It wasn't until the woman said, "I'm thinking about love." Then I came to my senses and said, "You're the one thinking about love." She laughed.
At night, the boy's smile kept appearing on my face. Could it be that I was attracted to him? How could it be? I swore that I would not have a romantic relationship before college because of my studies. How could it be?
But when I think about the sisters around me, each of them has their own place to belong, which seems pretty good. Although I still cry sometimes, I am very happy most of the time.
Oh, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’m so fed up with it.
As I looked at these familiar words, the scene at that time seemed to emerge in my mind. I slowly turned to the second page.
Weather: Sunny. Mood: Not so good
Zhao Zihan cried again today. She had another fight with her boyfriend. She pulled me to the dormitory and hugged me and cried. Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but shed tears, but I didn't know how to comfort her because I had never been in a relationship and didn't understand her feelings.
I just held her gently and patted her back, but her sobs distressed me and she cried for a long time. She said to me, "Why is it so painful to like someone?" After she said this, I wanted to ease the atmosphere, so I said, "I will answer your question after I find a boyfriend." After hearing this, she stopped crying and said to me, "Do you have someone you like?" I thought about it, shook my head, and then nodded, feeling very conflicted. She looked at me curiously and asked me questions, but I just didn't say it. It would be embarrassing to say it. Of course, she knew the oath I made.
In the past few days, I always walked towards the basketball court inadvertently. Sometimes I would see him and take a few sneak peeks at him. I heard them call him Lin Yu, which is a nice name, but sometimes I couldn’t see him. When I didn’t see him, I felt very disappointed.
