"Yingying, when are you coming back to school? Oh, after the Lantern Festival? I see. How do you manage to stay home for so long? I can’t stand being there for even a single day. Alright then, get some rest."
After hanging up, Wu Xiaoya walked through the campus alone. If she could, she would have loved to stay home longer, too. But after living on meager rations for the past few days, she decided it was better to use school as an excuse to leave early, if only to preserve what little remained of her mother-daughter relationship. Such was the reality for the modern university student: before you go home, they call you every day to ask when you’re arriving; for the first few days, they try to stuff you with every delicious treat and fun activity they can find; but after a few days pass, they start finding fault with everything you do. Wu Xiaoya suspected that if she stayed another two or three days, she would have been kicked out of the house.
Sigh!
