Chapter 13 Walking in the direction of the sun

O ship on the distant sea,

Please don't come to the shore,

Please be between the sea and the sky,

Sail ahead, all the way.

Sparkling, all the way to the voyage.

- Mirei Kaneko, "Sails"

"Yuman!" I stopped the girl who was going downstairs with a big suitcase, there was a girl in the class who hadn't come to class for several days, there were only about 20 people in our class, and it was obvious who was missing, but contemporary college students, it was the norm to skip a class or something, and no one asked.

"Oh, Nanfang, you can help me carry it, I'm a little struggling alone." The girl's voice is clear and nice.

"Okay, what are you moving things for?" I helped her with a hand.

"Go home, I'm on absence." She said calmly.

How so? This girl with delicate and thin facial features is always cheerful and cheerful, and she always smiles at people, why did she suddenly suspend school?

"My family hasn't come here yet, let's move the box to the café downstairs and wait, I'll invite you to coffee." Seeing my surprise, she smiled, lifted the box and said.

"yes, okay." I'm still confused.

When I got to the café downstairs, I put down my things, found a place to sit, and wiped my sweat. Our school is still relatively strong in literary and artistic atmosphere, so the café downstairs in the dormitory is not contrary to harmony, and many people like it, although it is not big, although the price of a cup of coffee is several times more expensive than a cup of milk tea, but here to chat with friends, or self-study, the heart will be very quiet. Soft lighting, soothing music, and seats separated by bookshelves soothe the restless heart.

"I'm taking a leave of absence and going back to get married." She took a sip of the latte in her hand.

"Is it your choice?" I asked cautiously.

"Well, yes, I don't think I like to go to school anymore, I want to get married." She looked at me with a little hollowness in her eyes.

"Okay." I don't press anymore, some girls want to have their own careers, their own world, and walk around in this world in style; There are also some girls whose dream is to be a good wife and mother, and there is nothing wrong with that. Some people go to the mountains, some people go to the sea, they choose differently, so they have different lives, there is no right and wrong, as long as they live seriously, they are all good scenery.

My phone rang suddenly, and I looked, it was the demon, I didn't want to answer and hung up, only to send another message "Where are you?" "What are you doing?" "With whom?" "I want to see you." My phone kept ringing and I frowned.

"What's wrong? Can I help you? Yuman asked.

"No, it's just that I've always been timid, always in fear, and then I can't do anything well." I took a big sip of coffee.

"I heard a few days ago that a friend of mine rented a house in the school teacher's apartment to prepare for the exam. That morning, she heard the senior sister in the next room say "there is a snake", and she was too scared to go out, but she had something to go out to do, so she sent a message to a trusted friend to ask what to do, and the friend said that snakes are afraid of people, it doesn't matter, knock before going out, but she is still very scared, and has stayed up from morning to evening, and with the repeated encouragement of her friends, she finally came out, because she was afraid so she ran out of the door. When I went back in the evening, I happened to meet my senior sister and asked about the snake, and my senior sister laughed, and I said "there is no water". Yuman also laughed.

"Indeed...... Stupid and cute. "I'm the same myself, I've been scared of that snake that maybe doesn't even exist, and I can't live a good life.

"My family is here, I have to go."

"Okay."

After sending Yuman away, I sent a message to Li Hong, "I want to end, from now on, over." Then block all his contact details, no matter what to face, I'm going to be brave for once.
