Pinned hopes

In a distant house, a middle-aged man was looking at his phone in despair. When he saw Master Lin's Weibo, he became agitated, but it was not because he was afraid of failure.

"Dad, I'm hungry," said a four year old girl as she tugged at the man's clothes.

"Alright, be good. I am cooking now."

The house's interior was simple and there was nothing much in it. There was a television set, a bed, and a room that was connected to the kitchen.

The house was far away from the city, and it was considered to be in the empty and rural countryside.

"Ok, I will sit at the door for a while," the little girl said.

"Ok, please stay safe and do not wander around," replied the middle-aged man.

The little girl sat outside the house and looked far away before looking at the sky. Then, she started to play with the doll in her hands.
