"Ai Ye, what is wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" My closest friend Cai Miao was the first to notice that something was off with me, and he asked with wide, anxious eyes.

Do you resent it

"It was already noon," I replied nonchalantly, heaven knows why I emphasized the word 'noon' so heavily, fully aware that she wouldn't care at all

I held my phone and laughed; indeed, there is not enough money, not even enough for her drinks, let alone to support myself

Without any surprise, she went drinking again

I have brown sugar

Mugwort! Leaves!

Cai Miao spoke, An Jia followed closely, and Chen Yishan sighed, creating quite a commotion in their ears

The other party blinked their eyes, which gave me a somewhat chilling feeling

Even if they truly understood, what difference would it make

The girl who pushed me is the one who gave me the bath towel. Another girl in the dorm calls her "Anjia," which is in their dialect. They should be from the same hometown, so they became particularly close right after meeting.

The temperature difference between day and night is indeed significant, and the wind on the balcony is quite cold. I took a breath of the chilly air and spoke the words my mother loves to hear

What is there to complain about? At the very least, she still remembers that she has a daughter like me

It is somewhat noisy, and I am a bit angry, but after all, it makes me feel that I am alive in this completely unfamiliar new world

I hung up the phone

Mother let out another burp, and the sound of her crisp finger snap came through the phone

It is best to earn money on your own! You also know that the money your shameless father left for us is not much

Sometimes, a bit of noise in the ear is also a form of happiness. When it is quiet for a long time and one cannot hear the sounds from outside, it can feel as if one is dead.

Over there, three girls have already started chatting. The chubby girl, An Jia, kept calling the girl playing on the computer "Cai Miao Cai Miao," while Chen Yishan beside her laughed uncontrollably.

Listen, this is my mother; she can silence someone with just one sentence

There is a name card hanging at each bed in the dormitory, displaying the names. I am not at all curious about how Cai Miao knows my name; what astonishes me is that just a second ago, I saw her sitting on her bed with a computer in her hands, and the next moment, she is standing in front of my bed

I have transferred all the tuition and living expenses to your card in one go. If you have nothing to do during the holiday, then don't come back

I shrank my neck, holding my phone as I returned from the balcony to the dormitory, and then I rolled back onto the bed

"Have you arrived?" My tragic mother asked me with a hiccup, while the noise of the bar lingered nearby

She has time to go to the bar to sing and dance, but she does not have time to attend my graduation ceremony or to bring me to university at the start of the school year

"You are a seedling, and you are a leaf, how interesting. I am An Jia, and she is Chen Yishan." An Jia pulled Chen Yishan over and said, shaking her round head.

Another glass of whiskey

The view from the balcony is quite nice, and the cold wind blows with a certain desolation, making it a fitting time for reflection and sorrow. However, I am currently suffering from menstrual pain, which makes it difficult to indulge in sadness. Even if I were to feel sorrowful, I am still an illegitimate child, and my parents are still divorced; this is an unchangeable fact. Tears are a waste, and I still need to buy water to replenish myself! Money is tight, so I must be frugal.

Indeed, I have turned eighteen and have come of age. Even if that person were my father, he would have no obligation to support me after the divorce, let alone the fact that he is not my father at all

The sky has darkened, and the lights are on in the dormitory, where three additional girls are busy with their respective tasks

Hearing someone call my name, I poked my head out from under the blanket, squinting my eyes into a narrow slit as I scrutinized the suddenly enlarged oval face before me

Hmm," Mother murmured

Ai Ye is a wild variety, her parents are divorced, and this matter is known by everyone in our city. I do not care if a few more people know.

Well, I won't come back. I am lazy and do not like to move around; coming back is too much trouble. During the winter and summer vacations, I will work and earn my own money

The other three people in the dormitory are not from my hometown. When I came out, I checked the bed card of the girl who was playing on the computer; she is from Guangdong. An Jia and the others speak Beijing dialect. Our dialects are all different, so we are not worried at all about them overhearing anything.

Without a doubt, they should be my new roommates

I stand on the balcony, asking myself as I gaze up at the starry night sky.

I have instant ginger powder

Well, Ai Ye! Just call me Ye Zi!

She seems to have fallen asleep, so it is better not to disturb her

After the divorce, she has never left alcohol

However, I do not know where to get hot water

Another girl sitting on the upper bunk was playing on her computer. I had not yet had the chance to learn her name when a soft female voice came through from her phone

I suddenly miss Li Wei a bit, because she is also quite noisy

Hello! I am Cai Miao, you are called Ai Ye, right

When someone called, I was still asleep. If I hadn't been pushed awake, I wouldn't have even noticed my phone ringing

Do not drink too much, return home early. I will hang up, long-distance calls are expensive

I nodded and smiled at them, then closed my eyes and wanted to sleep again

The people by the bedside gradually dispersed, and faint sounds began to emerge, including soft chatter, the tapping of keyboards, the cracking of sunflower seeds, and the sipping of drinks

I waved my hand at them with a wry smile: "Aunt Flo has come to visit, menstrual cramps, just sleep it off!"

Anjia called another girl "Chen Yishan." When I went to the balcony with my phone, I glanced at that girl. Her hair was jet black, her demeanor elegant, and she had bright eyes and white teeth, a typical classical beauty
