• The dark clouds rolled sharply like smoke from a locomotive, and the gray sky tried to devour the whole world like a greedy demon.
• It was a funeral, to be precise, a funeral for only two people, one death in a lifetime.
• The girl's eyes were still a little swollen, and she stared blankly at the tombstone in front of her.
• It was her mother who died, in a high-altitude fall.
• 

  qianjie

  Mom, you always say you want to fly, this time you finally flew down, but... how did you leave me behind.
• Chiensuke took out his old-fashioned mobile phone and dialed the number he had already known by heart.
• 

  qianjie

  Hey, Dad, it's Mom's funeral today, can you...
• Before Chiensuke could finish speaking, the man opposite spoke in a hurry.
• "Xiaosuke, you also know that Dad is inconvenient, your Aunt Mei..."
• 

  qianjie

  Dad, I know, don't come.
• "Xiaosuke..."
• She hung up the phone directly, and as you can see, Chiuke's mother was a psychopath, and her father also went to another woman's house.
• Chiensuke usually has to work two jobs and rely on school subsidies and scholarships to maintain the family's situation, but now that her mother is gone, she suddenly feels confused about the future.
• She suddenly had a sad thought that it should be much easier by herself.
• Chiba stayed in the cemetery for a while and then returned to the rental house where she usually lived. There was still her unfinished homework on the table, and she hadn't gone to school for a few days.
• She didn't want to go to school, this was her truest thought. Many bloody campus bullies happened to her, intimidating and threatening, it wasn't that she didn't want to resist and ask for help, but that would only lead to the next bigger bullying.
• A noisy ringing of the mobile phone came from the quiet rental house, and Chiensuke picked up the mobile phone, which was an unfamiliar number.
• 

  qianjie

  Hello.
• "Hello, are you Chisuke?"
• 

  qianjie

  I am, may I ask who you are.
• "I'm your mother's friend."
• 

  qianjie

  Friend? How could my mother...
• How could she have friends? She has been suffering from mental illness for more than a year, and even if she had some friends, she would hide far away.
• "I'm really her friend, but I haven't been in touch for many years."
• The more she heard it, the more suspicious she felt, and she planned to hang up the phone directly, but the other party seemed to have expected her to do so.
• "Actually, your mother came to me before she committed suicide."
• Qian Jie's hand trembled, and his phone almost slipped. His mother looked for him before committing suicide, how could this be possible!
• "I was your mother's old friend many years ago. Your mother found me that day and asked me to take care of you after she left."
• 

  qianjie

  What do you mean after she left... Did she have suicidal thoughts then?
• "She said she doesn't want to drag you down anymore, she doesn't want you to have a hard time."
• Qian Jie's heart surged with sadness, and it turned out that all her mother thought about before committing suicide was her.
• 

  qianjie

  Thank you, I can do it myself.
• "This is what your mother did not hesitate to end her own life in exchange. Do you want her to worry about you under Jiuquan?"
• Qian Jie's body trembled for a while, yes, this is what his mother hopes, he can't be so selfish.
• 

  qianjie

  ... Then please.
• The man on the other side seemed to be smiling and relaxed a lot.
• "It doesn't matter, I'm looking forward to our meeting. Come to Huai City tomorrow, and I'll send someone to pick you up."
• 

  qianjie

  OK, thank you.
• Since this is the road that her mother paved for her, she has to go on even if she is smashed to pieces, so that she can feel at ease.
