But Peng Xue did not stop crying.

"My grandma is gone, Alfon."

“I don’t have a grandma anymore…”

"I originally said that I would take her to enjoy happiness."

"No one in my family loves me now."

"..."

Grandma is the only person in Peng Xue's family who will protect her.

Now that grandma is gone, she must be having a hard time at home.

"My mother also took my cell phone away."

Peng Xue rubbed her eyes, tried to hold up a tired smile, and said to Mei Fang, "That's why I ignored you all this time. I'm sorry."

"Well, it's okay."

"My mother heard people say that I was singing outside and she thought it was embarrassing for me and wouldn't let me go out."

"..."

Mei Fang hugged Peng Xue tighter.

"Can I talk to my aunt?" he asked Peng Xue softly.

Peng Xue suddenly got angry when she heard this.

"What do you have to talk about with her? Don't go!"

Peng Xue held Mei Fang's cheek and said, "Don't go to her."

Her voice suddenly became humble.

"I'm afraid that after you meet her, you will no longer like me..."

"……it is good."

Mei Fang promised Peng Xue, "I won't look for her."

Since the beginning of the next semester, the happy smile on Peng Xue's face has become much less common.

There are fewer Sundays off, and the opportunities to meet each other are few and far between.

But when she meets Mei Fang and goes out to sing as a street performer, she will still cheer up and show her best self to Mei Fang and to every passerby who stops to listen to her singing.

She thought days like this would last a long time.

At least until you graduate from high school.

But this dream was shattered before the end of the second semester of senior high school.

Broken on a cloudy day.

It looked like it was going to rain.

People on the road were walking in a hurry, and Peng Xue played the piano for almost an hour without earning a single dollar.

Mei Fang was writing down words in his notebook while watching Peng Xue put away her guitar. He gave him a helpless smile:

"There are still too few people in Baimei County. It feels like there is no one here unless it's a holiday."

"There are only so many people in this county, there's nothing we can do..."

Mei Fang smiled at Peng Xue and said, "By the way, the results of the last monthly exam—"

"Ahhh! Don't talk about the exam! I know I did very badly..."

Peng Xue said aggrievedly, "It was mainly because I had a quarrel with my mother the night before the exam and didn't sleep well, otherwise I wouldn't be like that..."

"I think it would be better if we apply for campus accommodation, Xiaoxue?"

"Well...she will never agree to that."

Peng Xue scratched her head and smiled, "If I spend an extra penny at home, it's a waste, that's what she said."

"Then the money you deposited with me——"

"That's my dream fund, I'm not going to waste it on this!"

Peng Xue was waving her fist to protest at Mei Fang, but after her eyes focused on the back of Mei Fang, her expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly stuffed the guitar to Mei Fang and pushed him away.

She tried desperately to push him away.

"Let's go, Ah Fang, let's go...quickly!"

Before Mei Fang realized what was happening, Peng Xue rushed forward and started pushing the middle-aged woman who was walking towards him aggressively.

Mei Fang immediately realized that this was Peng Xue's mother.

Rude, overbearing, and said ugly things to his own daughter.

A man followed her, but he didn't say much.

He just stood there and tried to pull the mother and daughter apart, trying to persuade them not to embarrass themselves in the street.

Peng Xue's mother immediately flew into a rage after hearing this: "You're saying I'm embarrassing? Your daughter is singing on the street, isn't she bringing shame to your Peng family?"

"I didn't ask for the last name Peng! Can you guys just stay away and stop meddling in what I do?"

Perhaps because she saw that Mei Fang did not leave, Peng Xue forced herself to remain restrained. Her pretty face turned red, for fear that her lover would see her in such an embarrassing state.

"All you do every day is make some bullshit music. You've learned to be bad outside by imitating your cousin's useless and money-wasting things! I shouldn't have let you go to high school. You might as well go to Pengcheng to work with your uncle! You can send money home now, you--"

The middle-aged woman grabbed Peng Xue's collar and was about to slap her. Mei Fang did not leave but rushed forward to hold her back, preventing the slap from falling on Peng Xue's face.

"Auntie, please don't be like this...Xiaoxue is pursuing her dream, she——"

"Dream? What kind of dream is it if you don't have money to earn? She thinks she is a rich girl and playing music is for rich people. She doesn't even know what the situation is at home."

"And you... your name is Mei Fang, right? I've also inquired about your family situation. Your family is so poor, how much money did your father lose in business? How dare you imitate the children of rich families and seduce my daughter?"

Peng Xue's mother's face became more and more ferocious as she spoke in anger:

"I know you have good grades, but what good are your good grades? You still end up working for someone after graduating from college! You are not worth a penny in a big city! I'm telling you, I've told your class teacher about your problems. Let's see if you can still stay in school in the future—"

Snapped!

Peng Xue, who couldn't stand her mother humiliating her lover in front of her, slapped her hard.

His eyes were filled with endless hatred towards his biological mother.

And this slap finally became the fuse for the complete break between mother and daughter.

……

The details of this memory, which he absolutely did not want to recall, have become blurred in Mei Fang's mind.

After that, he never saw Peng Xue at school again.

The messages I sent never received a response.

Even if it means standing at her door for a long time.

As summer vacation was approaching, Mei Fang finally received the message from Peng Xue.

She asked him to meet her at her favorite park.

Mei Fang came with a guitar on her back.

When she saw Peng Xue again, she no longer hugged Mei Fang and stuck to her like she did before.

She just greeted Mei Fang shyly.

"Ah, long time no see."

There was still a bandage on Peng Xue's forehead.

Mei Fang was about to speak when Peng Xue interrupted him.

"By the way, I didn't say sorry for what happened last time..."

"I'm really sorry, really..."

As Peng Xue spoke, her eyes turned red and her voice choked with sobs.

"fine."

"fine."

Mei Fang reached out and touched Peng Xue's face.

Peng Xue did not refuse.

Mei Fang took another step forward and hugged her.

After making it clear that Mei Fang felt sorry for him.

Only then did she hug Mei Fang tremblingly.

Cry loudly.

I don’t know how long she cried before Peng Xue began to rest.

Mei Fang helped her wipe her tears.

"You should understand me, Alfon."

"Ah."

"I can't wait that long. College is too long, and my life is too hard...except for meeting you."

"So I'm leaving here, leaving here forever and never coming back..."

"But have you decided where to go?"

"Rongcheng, I'm going to seek refuge with my cousin. My cousin has already bought a ticket for me."

Peng Xue sobbed and said, "Their band is missing one person, and I can fill in the gap."

"Ah."

Mei Fang nodded gently, "I know you made this decision after careful consideration, so I will support you."

"Thank you."
