I still didn't let them find me.

I wandered around the campus alone.

When I got tired, I left the school and went to stroll on the street. The people on the road were in a hurry, no one paid attention to me.

If I were recognized, there would probably be a conflict.

As I was walking, I saw a small wonton shop and thought of my dad.

I entered the shop unconsciously and ordered a bowl of wonton, but I couldn't eat it after it was served.

Tears dropped heavily.

"What's wrong, child?"

The shop owner's wife saw me crying and thought I encountered some trouble.

"My dad passed away."

"Ah, the dead cannot come back to life. Your dad wouldn't want to see you like this, right?"

It was quite late, and there weren't many people in the shop. The shop owner's wife brought a chair and sat beside me, accompanying me to chat.

"Auntie, you don't need to comfort me. I'm not a good person."

"Why do you say you're not a good person? You can't say that about yourself."

The care from a stranger completely broke down my emotions.

"Auntie, do you watch the news? I'm the one who made my mother kowtow at the train station."

"I know, I recognized you as soon as you entered the door."

I was stunned.

"Then why are you still so kind to me?"

She smiled.

"You're all young, who doesn't make mistakes? Once you know you're wrong, just make a change."

"What you did was just being immature and saying the wrong things. Even murderers have a chance to reform, let alone you college students."

"I'll tell you a secret. My son is about the same age as you, also attending university, but not here, he's far away from home."

"I just think, if my son said those words, he would be scolded by those older folks. As a mother, it would hurt my heart so much."

Listening to her words, my heart pained. Every word she said made my heart ache.

I haven't had a mother since I was in my teens. I can't even remember what it feels like to be loved by a mother. But unexpectedly, even in my current state, there are strangers willing to care for me.

"Listen to Auntie, finish this bowl of wonton, and apologize sincerely online tomorrow. Then this matter will pass."

"Okay, thank you." I ate the wonton hungrily.
