This night, Xiao Ming slept very sweetly, in his dream he seemed to be wrapped in a large ball of soft marshmallows, he only needed one mouth, and the candy of various flavors seemed to be incarnated into the most loyal soldiers, one after another lined up and jumped into his mouth, sweet and full of taste buds.

How happy......

He smiled from ear to ear, and then woke up.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes with his right hand, Xiao Ming first felt that the tactile sensation of his body didn't seem to be right, when did his bed become so soft and comfortable?

Slowly getting up, he found that everything around him had become so unfamiliar, but it was the bedroom of his dreams! A computer screen the size of a TV screen, a variety of toy models, and a punk décor like the planet Cybertron...... Almost every point is a direct response to a deep-seated longing in my heart that has never been realized.

"The man who claims to be an oracle...... Really didn't lie to me? ”

Xiao Ming muttered in confusion, and he couldn't help but think of the scene a few days ago in his mind.

"Dad, Mom, I want a Switch Nintendo game console as my New Year's gift."

In the small and crowded living room, Xiao Ming carefully put his report card on the coffee table, and said with hope in his eyes.

For a while, the atmosphere became very silent, and only the sound of the north wind whistling outside the window could be faintly heard.

"Daddy, kid, talking to you!"

Her mother, who had been so stiffened by the trivialities of life, pulled her elbow and pulled her father, who was sitting next to her, as silent as herself.

"Alas......"

Xiao Ming's father sighed, after all, this wicked man still has to do it himself, he tugged at the little hair he had left, it really hurt.

"Child, I'm sorry, my parents may not be able to fulfill your wish for the time being."

"Why! Didn't you already say it at the beginning? Xiao Ming's voice had begun to tremble slightly.

Since his first day of junior high school, many children in his class have taken out their Nintendo switch consoles and are sharing their favorite games with each other. Looking at the trapezoidal game handle in his hand, Xiao Ming's heart was full of envy, how he hoped that one day he would be able to bring his own game console to call friends in the classroom!

He knew that it was indeed too extravagant for his family to spend more than 3,000 yuan to buy a game console...... But his parents also promised him that even if he couldn't take out so much spare money at once, he would still be able to afford it if he deliberately saved for two or three years, but the condition was that his academic performance could not fall behind at the most critical time node in junior high school.

It's been two and a half years, Xiao Ming hasn't dared to relax for a moment, he is the first in the class in every final exam, and the school's ranking has never fallen out of the top 20. I really did it, but what about the result?

"Why?"

"Why?"

......

Xiao Ming still maintained restraint, just staring at them with dead eyes, and kept repeating these three words in his mouth.

We don't want to break our promise...... But this year's economic downturn, the mortgage to be repaid every month, the daily expenses of water, electricity and gas, and your make-up materials, which one does not cost money...... All emotions can only be contained in a wordless wry smile.

But there's no way to say that to you...... Child.
