Chapter 96: Ninety-five, leave
When Luo Shu got up, Luo Shan had already packed her things.
"Sister, I’m leaving," Luo Shan said to Luo Shu, her hands clutching the bundle slightly trembling. She really didn’t want to part with her sister or with Xiao Zheng.
Luo Shu nodded, taking out the watch she bought for Luo Shan along with one hundred yuan and handed them to her, "Take care of yourself from now on! Once you find a job, I’ll have someone notify you." This was the last gift she had for her, whether she kept it or gave it to Luo Jiansen, it was no longer her concern.
Since leaving was her choice, the good and the bad, the bitter and the sweet, she would have to bear them all by herself. Everyone has their own path to take, and only by facing hardships can one grow up.
"Sister... you take care too!" Luo Shan, with trembling hands, took the watch and the money. She gazed deeply at Luo Shu, then turned and swiftly walked outside. She didn’t dare linger, fearing if she stayed, she would lose the courage to leave.
Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen had just returned from a walk and were surprised to see Luo Shan with her bundle.
"Luo Shan, where are you going so early in the morning with that bundle?" Aunt Chen asked. She had heard about Luo Jiansen visiting their house from her husband yesterday.
"Uncle, Auntie, thank you for taking care of me these past days. I’m going back to Luo Family Village, and I’ll come visit you again in the future." Luo Shan bowed to Aunt Chen and her husband, then turned and walked away.
