Mr. Mason held the teacup tightly. "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Mr. Mason, I don't want to climb to the top in the future, and look back to realize that I have missed the most important thing for me."

There was a moment of confusion, sadness, and heartache in Mr. Mason's eyes.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Don't let me down."

When we left, Mr. Mason caught up with me and asked softly, "How is your mother recently?"

"It's the same as before."

Mr. Mason nodded and said, "Go on, Peggy. I hope you can really climb to the top and live a good life with your mother live in the future. I also hope that you can have a happy youth with no regrets."

Evan was waiting for me at the stairs round the corner.

"I didn't know you were so bold before!"

Actually, I was never timid. I just didn't like trouble.

Trouble would hinder my footsteps and tire me out.

In the past, my only thought was to study hard and climb higher.
