The girl is from our school's dance department, named Lu Xinyue, just like me, a freshman.

We often chat on WeChat, and occasionally when I have fewer classes, she will drag me out to go shopping with her.

She is an only child, and her elders at home dote on her.

Their home is in the neighboring city, about a three-hour drive away. Her parents come to the school to see her about every half month or twenty days, bringing her some home-cooked dishes.

Lu Xinyue often invites me to eat with them.

Her mother is also a very kind and gentle person. The first time she saw me, her eyes were filled with a mother's love: "You must be Xingxing, right? Yueyue often mentions you to me, saying you are very independent and capable, coming here to work and go to college alone."

"Our Yueyue has been spoiled by her family since she was young, unable to do anything by herself. In the future, I hope you can take care of her more."

I nodded awkwardly, "Thank you, Auntie, I will."

Lu Xinyue's mother looked at me again, then nodded, "Good child, you will have good days ahead."

Whether I will have good days ahead, I do not know, but I feel that I am living good days now.

My grandparents are not here to nag me, my parents cannot force me to marry, nor can they force me to work and give them the money I earn.
