A Promising Youth

When I returned home, it was still the same dark and closed environment, dark living room with small doors and windows. There were too many unpleasant memories of my youth, and now I thought about it, my bones were still chilled.

Master was right, although I learned my skills, the character flaws caused by my family of origin, the cowardly inferiority complex in my bones, could not be changed through study.

It was like a hock, I couldn't shake it off, and it just ate away at my character, my self-confidence.

At dinner, my parents again talked about my brother's marriage and asked about the girl. At that time, I was nervous, afraid that the pretty girl became my future sister-in-law.

I didn't dare to interrupt and ask, because I still had no status in the family. In their mere words, I heard that the girl was in the same class as my brother, and then I felt relived, because the pretty girl was a class higher than me.

Late at night after I got home, I couldn't sleep for a long time and took out a book from under my bed, which was actually the most ordinary textbook, but inside it, there was a tissue paper which made it so precious!

This tissue was handed to me by that pretty girl. I had never used it. Over many years, the fragrance of magnolia flowers on the tissue, instead of dissipating, impregnated the pages of book with the fragrance.

‘Girl, where are you?

Do we have a chance to see each other again in this life?

Do you know that your words and warm move changed my life and gave me the courage to live?’

Infinite emotions hit me and I held the book tightly into my arms, feeling like holding her, the girl of my dreams.

Late at night there was the sound of a door opening outside. My brother and my mother went to the living room.

“Anika, do you have enough money?” My mother asked.

“I asked all the villagers and borrowed 80,000 yuan.”

My father said as he sipped his water.

“You're useless parents!”

My brother was immediately upset, and he said indignantly, “

It's 160,000 for down payment, what about the remaining 80,000 yuan?”

My mother said,

“Keep your voice down, don't wake your brother up!”
