18 years old.

It's been two years since Hola left Lower Wharton.

Today is the time for her to go to the University of the Arts in Firth.

The train station is bustling with people, and even in the political centre of Wharton, England, where most of the inhabitants are not all dressed in fine silk, the train station is located at the junction of the east and west ends of Wharton.

The East End is home to working-class families, homeless people, and gangsters, and housing prices here are only slightly higher than in other cities, that is, countless times cheaper than in the West End.

At the same time, the crime rate is also countless times higher, and the living environment is also countless times worse.

Hara had never set foot in the East End, but she did know what it was like.

It is precisely because it is located at the junction of the eastern and western districts, and there are many people who come and go at the train station, not only rich businessmen who travel with their families, upper-class people who hold their lover's arm, and several aristocratic ladies who go out on outings.

There are also elderly mothers who carefully protect their pale sons in the midst of crowds, elderly mothers who hold their children's small palms tightly, young women dressed plainly and hopefully who have put the future of their lives on this train, and middle-aged men with resolute eyes who hope to find a place for themselves in other cities.

Hola just watched the people go by, and no one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

Hervin was standing behind the girl.

He put his hand on Hara's shoulder:

"Nervous?"

Hola nodded:

"Well, it's nervous. ”

Hervin smiled:

"One day, the child will leave his parents and face the world alone, and now it's your turn, and the world is right in front of you. ”

Hora turned to look at Herwen, and then gave him a big hug:

"Thank you. ”

Herwin patted her on the head:

"Maybe you will have setbacks, you will encounter difficulties, you will feel that you can't persevere, you can give the world a little more patience, because it will never fail you.

"But if you really can't hold on one day, you can always come back to me, no matter what the road ahead, at least this time, no one will hurt you. ”

Hora looked up, she didn't understand Hewen's words so much at the moment.

But she still smiled happily, letting Crystal Sparkle in her eyes:

"Hewen, will I be able to see you more often in the future?"

Hervin promised:

"Of course. ”

Hora nodded heavily.

Woooooooo

The train is about to start.

Hora hugged Herwin a little tighter.

Then she didn't say anything, just turned around and ran on the train without hesitating the eyes of others.

Hervin watched the girl chatting with her friend Kate in surprise, and at the moment when the train started, she looked at Hervin again and showed a bright smile.

20 years old.

Hola wears glasses and sits alone in the studio.

She held the paintbrush in her hand, and the paint pan lay on the chair next to her, but she couldn't do it.

Kate was leaning her back against the door at the moment.

Kate finally couldn't help but speak:

"You haven't eaten in two days, won't you be hungry?

Hola kept shaking her head:

"I can't do it, I can't do it, I don't know why, there's a voice in my heart telling me that I have to draw it or ......

Kate sighed, then got up to leave.

Hola stared intently at the empty blank paper.

The paper waited for her to fill it with color, but she couldn't put pen to paper.

Tick, tick.

And so the time passed.

The sun also buried half of its body below the horizon.

Hola hasn't put pen to paper yet.

The door was pushed open violently, making a loud noise.

Hara looked disapprenantly in the direction of the door.

Kate walked quickly to Hara's side and casually placed the lunch box in front of her:

"Eat. ”

Hora was stunned, then smiled helplessly.

Kate looked at the empty drawing board:

"Isn't it just a final assignment? Are you so anxious to draw it in these two days? Can't you think about it more and experience life first?"

Hola looked down at the lunch box, then looked up and smiled:

"Kate, you're right, it's not time to put pen to paper. ”

Hola picked up the lunch box and said:

"Let's go, Kate. ”

22 years old.

At the graduation party, two male students and two female students sat at a table.

Kate looked at a male student directly across from her and asked:

"RUBI, what are you going to do after graduation?"

Rubi smiled shyly:

"I don't know, maybe I'll find a painter and give him a hand, and if I can't do it, I'll probably go to some big company to make a living. ”

Rubi looked at Hola diagonally opposite:

"What about you, Hora, where do you want to go?"

Instead of answering Rubi's question directly, Hola looked at Kate:

"Where do you think I'm going in the future?"

Kate replied:

"It just depends on where you want to go?"

Hola says:

"I feel like I can go anywhere. ”

Kate replied:

"Then I don't think it matters where you go. ”

Hola says:

"So I'm just going to move forward, okay?"

Kate replied:

"You can get where you need to go, as long as you keep going. ”

Hola looks back at Rubi:

"I want to paint, and one day I want to paint a great work. ”

Rubi muttered:

"What a strange way you looked, Haura. ”

Hola smiled:

"I'm just a little confused about the future, but what about Haidt? ”

A man who looked a little uneasy, with a melancholy look in his eyes, suddenly realized that Hola was asking himself:

"Oh, oh, I haven't thought about it, I want to go home first, my father wants me to go back to work in the family business, but to be honest, I don't really have much interest in the family work. ”

Hora nodded slightly.

Kate says:

"I want to find a few people to partner with to open a studio, and everyone can paint together, but I may not make any money in a short period of time, are you interested?"

Hola knows that what is in front of her at this moment is an invitation and a choice.

She knows that she does have a choice, whether she accepts the invitation or not, her life will go on, just like the countless choices in her life, big and small.

It's just a choice.

It's no different from any other option.

Hola nodded:

"I'll join in, let's make a career together. ”

Haight secretly observed Haura's expression with his peripheral vision:

"I wanted to join too, but I wasn't necessarily able to convince my father. ”

Kate says:

"We'll always give you a place here. ”

On the morning of graduation, the sky was overcast.

After today, she will leave school, and she will be separated from many people she knows, and maybe they will never see each other again in the rest of their lives.

On the afternoon of graduation, the sky was clear.

After today, she will be leaving school, and she will meet many different strangers, there will be arguments, there will be conflicts, and some of them will become her new friends, and then, like this morning, they are destined to separate again.

But there are always people who will accompany her throughout her life.
