"Mom, you arrived just in time!"

Seeing her plan succeed, Second Aunt didn't even bother to pretend anymore, a bright smile directly on her face.

Leaning against the wall in the bathroom, I stared blankly at the scene before me.

Satisfied, Second Aunt enjoyed my despair, and before leaving, she added one last blow.

"Pan'er, don't be too sad, it's just an exam, nothing serious.

"Tomorrow, Second Aunt will go to Hu Zi's house for a marriage proposal, and you will definitely marry off in style."

My mom, who arrived late, was frightened by my pale face. She hurried over to comfort me, saying if things didn't work out, I could repeat the year, but not to harm my health.

All I could think of was Grandma hugging Xu Weicai's loving smile, completely ignoring my mom's words.

No wonder Grandma suddenly changed her attitude, and no wonder Second Aunt was so happy after hearing Second Uncle's words.

All of this was someone else's game. With just a little care, I foolishly fell into it.

My mom was quite scared by me, helping me sit up and handing me water.

I regretted deeply but could do nothing. My only thought was to quickly call the homeroom teacher to see if there was an emergency solution.

As soon as I left the bathroom, I saw Grandma standing at the door.

"Are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied!"

Never in my life had I argued with an elder, but today was an exception.

Someone who only wanted to harm me didn't deserve to be my elder.

"Pan'er..."

My mom pulled me, afraid I would suffer.

But what neither of us expected was that Grandma, instead of getting angry, quietly handed me a piece of paper.

I unfolded the paper in confusion, and there, in bold letters, were three words - Admission Ticket.

"Keep it safe, go to bed early, you have to wake up early tomorrow."

Grandma's tone was calm, as if what happened a few minutes ago didn't exist at all.

The drastic contrast left me breathless.

In the dim light, Grandma looked complex, after a few moments of contemplation, she left me with a phrase: to capture by letting go.

I didn't understand Grandma's meaning, and even though I wanted to ask, she wouldn't answer.

Just as I was closing the door, I heard Grandma in the living room murmuring to herself.

"If you miss something once, will you miss it a second time?"
