The next morning, before the start of the new semester, Xie Wanying took her mother to the train station.
As the moment of parting approached, Sun Rongfang looked at her daughter, with a thousand words on the tip of her tongue, yet her lips trembled, not knowing what to say. All she could do was nag incessantly, "Take care of your health above all, your health is the most important. Mom doesn't ask for anything else, just that you stay safe and healthy—"
"Mom, I know." Xie Wanying extended her hands and embraced her mother tightly.
Sun Rongfang hurriedly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, holding back, until after her daughter had finished the hug, when she turned around resolutely and walked straight into the ticket checkpoint with her luggage.
