Chapter 2, the night is long and the lamp is frequently lit

On the steamer, there are baby bok choy, sprinkled with minced meat and chopped green onions, which is quite light. My father and the others are in high spirits, and I only need to look after the dishes on the table. There is a dish of shrimp prepared in two ways; my father took a bite and then stopped, asking the waiter to pack another portion.

Of course, Aoyama

Mother heard this and sighed: "How are you and that Miss Fujisawa doing now? Your father would never allow you to marry a Japanese girl. No one in the Song family would permit it either"

I also laughed: "You and I seem to have some similarities."

"So beautiful—" how delighted she is

The delegation is currently at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven, where a Japanese woman dressed in a kimono has attracted a crowd eager to take photos. Lu Qingye surprisingly wears a full set of a traditional ru skirt, with a plain white cross-collared top and a light gray-green chiffon skirt featuring twelve panels, which astonishes me

She worked multiple jobs, translating and writing articles. I quietly said, now she stays in Tokyo, married to a teacher of classical literature, and has taken on the surname Nishikawa.

I smiled: "I will leave Beijing soon, and you will also quickly have more friends."

Very well. I want to marry him

However, I still have my low sighs, speaking in an old-fashioned manner: "In fact, you can have a particularly good life in Japan." The implication is quite resentful, layer upon layer, you truly do not cherish your blessings. If I were also born into a prestigious family with no worries about food and clothing, I would certainly be very diligent, seizing the time to marry into a good family, with my only daily concern being, oh dear, how did I get eye bags? In reality, there would be no eye bags at that time; if one does not study hard, stay up late, and endure hardships, how could there be eye bags?

Regardless of whether one believes it or not, the home has indeed fallen into disrepair. After graduating from high school, I told myself to choose the most lucrative major. I asked my father, and after some thought, he suggested law, saying that becoming a lawyer would be quite good

My goodness. "Is the tuition expensive? I fear I cannot afford it."

At this moment, I would rather find a secluded place to count the money in the envelope

It is possible. I am half trusting and half delegating responsibility, laughing, "If you forget the words, just send me a text message."

Ah, that girl. She has returned

It is possible that more consideration is needed from an economic perspective. The Japanese teacher has repeatedly emphasized that Japanese is the most ambiguous language, and Japanese people prefer indirect and subtle expressions. I cannot simply say, 'I do not have money to go abroad'.

Your friend Miss Fujisawa said the same. She has returned to her normal emotional state, yet I cannot discern her expression at this moment; it could be as bright and innocent as it is during every meeting. This fills me with immense shame, constantly reminding me of my shortcomings, unworthy of such praise

Hehe, Song Ximing, thank you

It is the home number

It is nothing more than trivial matters, occasionally mentioning a few things related to business

"You eat, you eat." She inserted a pencil into her hair and leaned over the desk to look at the atlas

I am not very clear about the scale of my father's business. He has always hoped to guide me onto the right path and have me join him in his enterprise. However, I have never met his expectations. He once coldly remarked, "It would have been better to have another son."

until early August

The head of the Human Resources Department urgently said: "Xiao Song speaks French, so let him go and serve as a translator, since your department has been relatively free lately"

There are several friends whom you also know. Xuan Nei Marco Polo Yulong Brocade, at seven o'clock in the evening, come over by yourself. Don't squeeze onto the bus anymore

"I don't know," she said, her voice dimming. "You ask too much. Are we considered friends now?"

Thank you

My father is cautious by nature, and over the years, he has rarely been promoted. Even when friends offer him gifts during the Spring Festival, he consistently declines. If someone asks him for help or to share a meal, he always avoids the invitation and resolutely refrains from involvement. His daily interests are limited to tea drinking and calligraphy. He always drinks ordinary loose-leaf tea, practices calligraphy on old newspapers, and never spends more than 2 yuan on a sheet of Xuan paper. Furthermore, our household expenses have always been frugal, and we even took out a loan when buying our house. My mother does not buy a single new piece of clothing in a season—how could I possibly believe that my father accepted bribes. His daily interests are limited to tea drinking and calligraphy.

My mother does not buy a single new piece of clothing in a season—how could I possibly believe that my father accepted bribes.

Father laughed even harder: "I really think he is just a son of a dog"

Old Song has set the bar too high for the young master; after all, being a civil servant offers stability and security

He warned: "That should not be consumed in excess, after all, it is not good for the body. You should exercise more and drink milk before bed..."

The Exchange Center is to send an embroidery art troupe to visit Paris for a duration of three days, accompanied by a translator. Not long ago, a cultural exchange group went to France, and all the excellent translators from the Direct Translation Department have already been dispatched.

He remained silent, finishing a glass of oddly colored cocktail. I patted him and asked, "Do your parents know?"

I know, there is also soaking feet and counting sheep

You have taken great care of me, starting from being the volunteer group leader, and now you are introducing me to a free speaking teacher. I feel quite uneasy; you can speak frankly about how I should repay you.

I have not mentioned my father's matters to anyone, including Zhu Ping. However, Gui Xin has known from the very beginning. I once asked her what to do, and she said that only by becoming strong yourself can you make everyone else feel at ease

She enjoys talking about her "Song Jun", constantly mentioning "Song Sang" and "Song Sang"

Are you serious this time? I asked later

I lowered my head and said: "Thank you." Pursuing an undergraduate degree in this country is already extravagant, and I do not dare to dream of anything else. I just want to earn money, a lot of money.

Ha... ha, which girl from Beijing did you learn that from? I laughed

The wedding banquet that evening was quite grand. Due to an unexpected matter at work, I was unable to attend. Wu Wei saw me off at the door and smiled.

"Qingye, Qingye!" I was startled and hurried upstairs, the incandescent light swaying above my head, and dust spilling out from the gaps in the wooden planks

I lived in Luqiao Town during my childhood, and after growing up, I occasionally return to pay respects at the graves. With the passing of my grandfather, the family that once spanned four generations has become increasingly difficult to gather. During the festive seasons, there is no one to preside over the rituals, and everyone feels less inclined to return.

What are your future graduation intentions: pursuing further studies, going abroad, or entering the workforce?

She smiled: "But he does not think so. His lover—now married."

He smiled and said, "It is best to have a woman; after being tired, who wouldn't want to sleep..."

"Did you have a good time in Beijing?" Mother patted the back of my hand, "Shouldn't you be getting a boyfriend by now?"

She solemnly said: "Thank you for valuing me; I gained a lot during those seven days. I also appreciate you introducing me to a spoken language teacher."

Father also laughed: "Is Boss Jiang's daughter still studying in France?"

I checked the schedule, and tonight there is a special performance by Master Cai Yao from the Northern Kunqu Opera at the Poly Theatre. Many Japanese guests have never seen Kunqu before and are very much looking forward to it. I called Lu Qingye and asked, "I won't be here tonight, can you handle it?"

Wu Wei and I went out for a meal, and he drank heavily, one cup after another

The pinyin for Lu Qingye, suffix Yahoo China

What should I cook

You

I nodded: "Good night"

It turns out you can be sweet-tongued at times

Why did you just cry

When my father saw me, he nodded slightly but still maintained a stern expression. The other uncles were quite warm and offered various compliments. Following my father's guidance, I greeted each of them one by one, and then I took a seat at the lower position to listen to their conversation.

After completing two translation exercises, I took off my earplugs, splashed my face with cold water, and felt hungry. I went downstairs in search of food. The kitchen stove was cold, but there was still a roll of noodles in the cupboard, and I unexpectedly found a few eggs in a jar. I was pleasantly surprised, so I heated water for boiling and cracked the eggs into the pot. The kitchen floor was paved with tightly fitted blue bricks. More than ten years ago, my father personally built this spacious and square attic, which has a courtyard, and the surrounding walls and windows are adorned with a geometric pattern of blue tiles, making it very beautiful. In the past, my grandparents lived here, planting grass, trees, and flowers in the courtyard, which over the years have grown lush and delightful.

Your Japanese is really good. She was amazed again, Come to Japan, you are so smart, you can attend the best university

The father grunted: "Even with the addition of the word 'international,' he is still just an ordinary civil servant"

Who would forget the words! The method of provocation is indeed effective, this girl is puffing up like a pufferfish with all her spines raised, "You can rest assured."

She chuckled softly: "Rest assured, I have no interest in you."

Song Ximing

Now his fiancée, of course, is not this girl. He said she is the daughter of a friend of his father, who has returned from studying in Singapore

I ignored her and focused on eating pig heart by myself. She compared several pictures and ultimately confirmed it was a white-edged darner: "Oh my, I actually saw a white-edged darner in Beijing, oh my."

"Is it good to go to Wangfujing? I haven't been there yet," she said

Call me Aoyama. Am I also allowed not to address you as "Miss Fujisawa"?

You scared them away, I complained

Recalling various aspects of Beijing, I feel a great distance. As the clock strikes twelve, I tumble out of the pumpkin carriage and run barefoot back to the original world

Every step of growth is fraught with difficulties, yet I am fortunate to have Guixin. Guixin was my inseparable companion during my middle school years, born in the autumn—during the season of osmanthus flowers. She attended a foreign language university adjacent to my school, knew everything about me, and encouraged me to minor in foreign languages, striving to pass the intermediate interpretation exam

He looked at me and asked, "Are you still not sleeping well?"

"It should count," I said, "You have also taken a secret from me for nothing. If you ever think about studying in Beijing, feel free to reach out to me anytime"

Song Ximing asked, "How much longer do you plan to stay in Beijing?"

"There are no colored dragonfly field guides on the mainland; these few were bought through a friend." She said with particular pride, flipping through a few pages, "Is this the white-edged darner?"

This statement is indeed true! After all, a tiger does not father a dog

The wooden window of the attic is half ajar, and the night wind causes the hinges to creak. I sit up, go downstairs to fetch water, and wash my face; the moonlight is just right

If I were to have even one-tenth of you—oh no, just one-hundredth—I could rest easy and wait for marriage without worry

Undeniably, the call has been disconnected over there. My father has always been like this

She set aside her camera to search through the bookshelf. My goodness, as expected of an academic woman, even a mere dragonfly requires the use of "Taiwan Dragonfly Color Illustrated Guide," "Dragonflies of Taiwan," and "Hong Kong Dragonfly Guide"

He suddenly said, "The day before yesterday, I went to take a look at the bamboo shoots"

I can hardly bear to hear my mother say these things, suppressing my impatience: "Rest assured."

"Why must you suffer? In the end, you will not be able to make your own decisions. Marriage does not equate to freedom. While you are still young, you should let go of such thoughts." Although his words were harsh, there was some truth to them

"Pre-marital anxiety?" I asked. "For us, does it really matter who we marry? You can consider it a traditional marriage, where social status matches, arranged by our parents, without any emotional foundation, yet stable and reliable, growing old together.

In fact, there are no harsh words; Teacher Nishikawa is rather ordinary and unremarkable, with a modest salary and an average family background. However, the long-sought-after elegance and charm of her character have led many to feel sympathy for her. Alas, I have finished speaking, now it is your turn

As I returned to my older sister's dormitory, I could smell a strange fragrance from a distance

I transferred to the foreign language bookstore, and the sun was blazing once again. The buses came and went, making a deafening noise. The glaring road shimmered with heat, and the small potted plants in the circular flowerbed drooped in despair. Yet, the cool air from the bookstore was refreshing!

She went directly to graduate school. Her grades are good, and she didn't really let me hold her back. Wu Wei said, "She doesn't want to see me, and when we do meet, she is particularly cold. After a while, her boyfriend came to find her, a pretty handsome young man."

I love Iwanami Bookstore the most I said with a smile

Has your father contacted you?

Look at how much Old Song cares for his son They laughed without understanding the situation

Hmm. I remember that mischievous girl, always chewing bubble gum when she was little, making a popping sound with every blow

Ximing, you are the only one for your mother. Your mother married your father at the age of twenty, when your father had nothing. After a lifetime of hard work, now—

I have heard you sing songs in French, and your pronunciation is excellent. It is truly a pity that you do not study languages

As long as you are content and happy, that is sufficient

She wrote on the calendar: "July 23, the growth condition of the asarum is good, and there is a white-edged dragonfly on the window screen"

Whenever I think of Keishin, a tremendous strength immediately wells up within me

Mother?

He is a very close brother of mine. Although his favorite major is biology, he was forced to study medicine, tormenting little mice and rabbits in the dim laboratories of Peking University Health Science Center... and with his elegant demeanor, he torments various types of girls. It is difficult for us to be moved by women; the only difference is that he enjoys the carefree charm of lying among the flowers without getting involved, while I remain completely uninvolved in both clear and murky waters.

Ah, are you still reminiscing about the past?

Someone in the audience asked, "Where is Ximing currently working?"

Wu Weilai called to say that he is getting married

We moved to the Japanese original book counter on the third floor. "The five-colored belt," I sighed. She was surprised, "You know about the five-colored belt too?"

"Let's speak French," Gui Xin said, "I also studied French as my second foreign language. Which one are you actually learning?"

"I am a doctor, I know myself." He has quite a temper

I hurriedly poured water and took the medicine. Dissolving a tablet of tranquilizer in the water ensured her a good night's sleep.

How wonderful it is to be young, let us strive forward

"Graduated?" refers to his previous girlfriend, who is named Bian Zhusheng, and is nicknamed Bamboo Shoot.

Each person has their own circumstances, and you should not hastily judge me

"Fujisawa Naname?" I looked at the note he left for me, "Is he Japanese?"

Lu Qingye

What other languages are practical?

She bared her teeth fiercely and said, "Virtue!"

How calm they are, I was taken aback, pondering that the two of them indeed seem to be a good match, especially with the legendary allure of an international romance. I remarked, "It is truly enviable."

She possesses enthusiasm and goodwill towards all things novel. Knitted butterflies, tassel pouches, jade ornaments, and cloisonné bracelets are all common rough trinkets found at tourist attractions, which she mistakenly believes to be "very Chinese and very ethnic," much to her disdain

I went to look at the pot of fine herbs on the windowsill, and I heard my older sister ringing the bowl, saying, "It's ready, it's ready! Come and eat."

...there hasn't been any recently

How did you come to think about studying law? When did I start to speak out so much

No. I sat down beside my mother, and she draped the summer blanket over me. I said, "I just went to the yard to look at the flowers"

What is the matter? I rushed to the bedside, and my mother grasped my hand tightly

You should have understood by now

I laughed, "Whose daughter is fortunate?"

He glanced at me, and I placed the shrimp properly—it's an old custom, asking me to bring it home. My mother is from the south and loves this type of seafood

I bought a pig's heart and will cook it with thirteen spices! Amidst the rising steam, my older sister wielded the spatula and pot lid, showing no signs of a housewife, her eyes red like a witch concocting potions. I frowned and said, What a strange choice... this thing is quite frightening

I helplessly remarked, "Truly cunning"

The Iwanami Shoten "Five Color Band" classification system categorizes works as follows: the green band represents Japanese literature, the red band signifies foreign literature, white is used for social sciences, blue denotes philosophy and history, and yellow is for classical Japanese literature

Your father certainly did nothing wrong. You should graduate quickly and help him

"Have you cried?" Mother asked

Everyone chimed in: "You must definitely invite us out next time. Ximing, do you know Miss Jiang?"

Last year, I heard that he had developed feelings for a college student, but I did not pay much attention to it. However, upon returning to my home country, I saw that they were still together. That girl is only in her third year, majoring in English, and she has a very gentle appearance. I watched Wu Wei help her pick out fish bones, meticulously removing each fine bone, which was an attitude he had never shown before

Do not only speak of me, but also of yourself

In Japan, it is customary to address each other by their surnames, and only close friends may call each other by their first names

I gently cough

No. I stated emphatically, nothing is more important than studying

"Will Miss Lu go to Japan to study in the future?" she invited, "Song Jun and I both studied at Tsukuba University before."

Thus, all subtle, ambiguous, warm, and beautiful feelings have been completely stifled

Studying Japanese is the most practical. There are the most Japanese-funded enterprises in the East China region. Gui Xin embraced me, saying, "You come to class, and I will gather all the materials for you"

She is a Christian, and we will hold a religious wedding at the Chongwenmen Church

Later, both of us got drunk, only to see the fallen bottles of alcohol in front of us. Jiu Xun once laughed at me, asking if I would become promiscuous after drinking. I replied that I would only fall into a deep sleep after drinking, and that I wouldn't be able to act out even if I wanted to

She is one of the few girls I have seen who can wear Hanfu in a way that is both casual and dignified

On the day of the closing ceremony of the exchange meeting, I received an envelope. Although it was not thick, I felt satisfied. The bond with the girls in my group, whom I had spent seven days with, suddenly became particularly strong. Originally, we were people who would turn away from each other, but after these seven days, there would be no more conflicts of interest, so we exchanged contact information, creating a lively atmosphere. I smiled from the sidelines as they called out, "Aoyano, what is your email?"

This is my hometown, located in Rukyo Town. In Japanese class, we discussed the phrase "国の自慢話しをする," which means "to boast about one's country or hometown being particularly good." Many people have a hometown that they reminisce about endlessly; when they are elsewhere, their hometown becomes a poetic description, used to showcase elegance and deep affection, even though the so-called hometown may merely be a barren countryside

While tidying up in the office, I suddenly thought of that girl, Lu Qingye, who makes the marinated duck soup. I quickly dialed her number: "Can you come to the exchange center now? We need a French translator here"

I thought you had left. Fortunately, my mother is emotionally stable

Can we keep in touch frequently in the future? You are the first friend I made in Beijing

I gossip: "Do you love him very much?"

She stood near the door with a small bag in hand, and as our eyes met, we approached each other, and indeed, we began to inquire. After a brief encounter, there was no awkwardness as I had imagined. Her eyes were large and round, and when she smiled, they slightly squinted, with long, curled eyelashes. We communicated primarily in Chinese; I spoke quickly, and sometimes she would suddenly stop, widen her eyes, and inquire, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that just now." There were also many words she didn't understand, which I would explain in detail, and she would diligently write them down in a small notebook she carried with her.

We went out to buy yogurt, a specialty of Beijing, packaged in cute ceramic jars, available in honey or poria flavor

My classmate is in Beijing, and I have greeted her. She specializes in Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation and is currently learning Chinese

I also cannot forget him. She suddenly felt very embarrassed

I also smiled and refrained from commenting, and they quickly and discreetly changed the subject

The dishes have been served

The voice over there is very hoarse, lacking the lively and clever tone I remember: "I have already returned to the south"

She loves to travel the most. She once skipped class for a month, and when she returned, she was as thin as a fairy, full of spirit, and told us that she had been to Nepal

I ... ...

Yulong Jin is a Cantonese restaurant. As soon as you enter, a waiter guides you: "Mr. Song, right? The private room is here"

On the way back, I couldn't help but count the money—surprisingly, it was quite a substantial amount

"Alright, I shouldn't have said that," Wu Wei smiled, "I didn't mean anything by it. Your sister-in-law is quite beautiful; I'll show you later."

I smiled and said, "There are just too many things."

"Easier said than done," Wu Wei said, shaking his wine glass and laughing, "Don't you still have Chen Jiuxun?"

Isn't it early August... Oh, I will look for someone else. Just as I was about to hang up, I added, "How have you been lately?"

We will meet at the foreign language bookstore

There is work in the evening

She laughed heartily. The transition from crying to laughing happens in the blink of an eye; the temper of today's girls is truly peculiar

The taste of pig heart is quite good, isn't it? I said deliberately

At that moment, my phone rang

Lu Qingye

Learn both types

A slender-winged dragonfly flitted against the screen window. Upon seeing it, my elder sister hurriedly set down her bowl and grabbed the camera. However, the dragonfly had already flown away.

"Then let me introduce you to someone for speaking practice," he said

She pressed her forehead, feeling a slight headache

"Could you tell me the story of Miss Chen Jiuxun?" She smiled, "Secrets are only valued when exchanged mutually"

At that time, upon learning that he had divorced his mother, I felt a sense of injustice and retorted, "You can completely have another son now."

Many people have asked, and you have too? In short, it is to make money. She answered quickly, laughing, "Unfortunately, this profession is no longer in demand. I was naive and ignorant, once wanting to be a female lawyer, eloquently navigating through complexities, but now it seems truly laughable.

I was taken aback: "Is it Shichu who told you? ... ... We met in Japan. She is very special, extremely intelligent"

At that moment, my father called and asked me to come to his place for dinner

All the upheaval began two years ago. A letter of accusation suddenly arrived at our home, indicating that there were large unexplained sums in my father's private account. Since the letter did not go directly to the anti-corruption bureau, there must be some doubts involved, and there must be room for maneuver. Since then, mysterious phone calls at home have gradually increased, leaving me anxious. As a result, my father has been placed under double regulation, temporarily disappearing from sight, we had to sell our house in the city, and my mother repeatedly insists, "Your father has never accepted bribes."

It is also very beautiful, very vibrant, as described in legendary novels

I am looking forward to meeting Miss Lu in Japan in the future

Later, it was proven that my father's views were outdated. After the expansion of enrollment in higher education institutions, even polytechnic universities began to offer undergraduate law programs. In the latest employment rankings, the law major has surprisingly become one of the most difficult fields for job seekers.

If you do not come soon, I will have eaten everything

Suddenly, I feel envious of her. She can be so obsessed and devoted, finding joy in her own way

International Cultural Exchange Center

Therefore, it is said that every person has their own circumstances and should not be judged lightly. If you, Song Ximing, are naturally gifted and outstanding in every aspect, how can you understand the sufferings of the world?" She spoke eloquently, "As for me, I am always scheming and planning, with my eyes set on profit.

The first meeting with Nanajū was on a mid-July afternoon, just after a heavy rain, when Beijing revealed a clear blue sky. It was she who contacted me first: "Miss Lu? I am Nanajū Tōzawa, when would it be convenient for us to meet?"

He frowned and said: "Talkative. You have nothing cheap for me to take advantage of. Don't worry, it's just that your spoken language is so poor that it's unbearable to listen to"

Truly inexperienced in the world. Aren't they just Japanese people studying interpretation? You can handle it as you see fit; if you teach her a few lines of the song "Treading Lyrics," she might even pay you tuition in return

Song Ximing

Ah... I? Oh, I have already forgotten. " She laughed, "Sometimes a good cry is all it takes; once I've cried, it's fine. You can't expect me to keep remembering the reason and make me cry again.

"You are what you eat." She pointed at me with the spatula, "Pig heart is highly nourishing and delicious."

"Are you still studying?" Mother said, "The old house is too dim; I will replace it with a fluorescent lamp tomorrow"

After finishing this phone call from Beijing, I lay on the bed, my face still wet with tears, but I no longer wished to cry

I did not expect that you still remember me. She smiled, You think too highly of me; even though I am now in Beijing, I do not dare to agree to you

She speaks Japanese, and I cannot understand it all; I carry an electronic Chinese-Japanese dictionary and a small notebook with me

I felt a pang in my nose and smiled, saying: "I understand. What is it, Mom?"

I do not wish to consider marriage at this time

It is precisely your words that are needed. Any responsibilities must also be borne by you

Gui Xin does not question me like others, but rather says to me: "I will do my best to find any information you need. However, you must not overexert yourself"

She is clearly a girl from a good family, gentle, kind, and innocent

Ah, it's harmful to the body. How can one get married if one ends up in a mess later?

Father laughed: "Listen, this statement is truly remarkable; the notion of stability and security is simply an excuse for young people to avoid striving for progress"

Ah, so wealthy

You are wearing Hanfu

The men in my father's circle are not unpleasant; they are not gossipy, behave with propriety, and their speech is not considered vulgar. They seldom engage in grandiloquent discussions, their emotions are very composed, and their expressions are uniformly indifferent

Silent weeping. I was taken aback, and after she finished crying, she regained her composure: "I am sorry, I suddenly cried."

"Talkative." Her sleeves slipped at the elbows, and her forehead was covered in sweat

Wu Wei's wedding came swiftly, with friends and family gathered in the church. After exchanging wedding rings, Wu Wei leaned down to kiss his wife; she instinctively shuddered, slightly recoiling, her eyelids drooping as the kiss descended steadily, eliciting cheers. Everyone wore beaming smiles, eager to offer their blessings. His wife exhibited graceful demeanor and eloquent speech, her pure white wedding dress complementing her porcelain skin, her hair elegantly piled to the side, adorned with two tulips, stunningly beautiful. It was nearly impossible to hear her converse with Wu Wei; they didn't even exchange glances. I observed their expressions, feeling a sense of fatigue.

What kind of work is that? It's settled then, don't be late

I observe coldly and can only feel that the so-called "unforgettable thoughts" are truly a luxury for the wealthy. In my nineteen years of life, have I ever been unable to forget someone? Of course not. Nothing makes me more preoccupied than my studies and money. Men, what are men—I'm sorry, I do not love you; you are merely aids in my growth

Ah... Xichuan Jiuxun. They have much in common, disregarding the cold words of the mundane world, and have formed a bond

At that time, I happened to hear that my father had undergone surgery. Although it was not serious, it shocked and pained me greatly. It turned out that my father would also grow old. Thus, I resolved to study hard in order to provide comfort to my parents as soon as possible

I consider that you must study law in order to fulfill your parents' wishes

Moreover, there is also an autographed signature from the Fox-eyed Blusterer.
