Chapter 875 - 877 A Sense of Powerlessness
Shi Miaomiao walked into the dark room alone, turned on the light, and couldn’t help feeling sad. She hadn’t expected the path she’d chosen to be like this. It was fine at work, but this sense of loneliness that came every time she returned home was something she couldn’t easily shake off. It felt like a black hole tightly gripping her, dragging her into the Abyss.
In this city, her true friends were only Xiao Yifei and Tang Rong, but now that the two were together, she felt it was inappropriate to bother them every time. She understood such situations were normal, but every time she was alone, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of melancholy. She had the thought of going home more than once, questioning the purpose of her persistence in this city.
After all, apart from honing an increasingly resilient heart, she might gain nothing else. Besides, her parents only had her as a child, and they were already getting old. It had been a month since she’d last visited them, so she called her parents. There’s a saying: you think of home when you’re tired, and you think of someone when you’re lonely. The only ones Shi Miaomiao missed now were her parents.
Her last relationship ended two years ago; they say graduation season is breakup season, and she couldn’t escape this saying. They had been together for three years, and from the beginning, she had prepared for the breakup. But when that day finally came, the heartache kept her from sleeping every night. For the first time, she realized how sweet it was to be together, and how painful it was after breaking up.
So, she didn’t dare to start another relationship lightly now. If there was another breakup, that feeling would be too unbearable.
"Mom, how are you guys doing lately? Have you eaten?" Shi Miaomiao asked after dialing the number.
"We’ve eaten. Your dad and I are doing especially well. When are you coming back? Cough, cough..." her mother replied, coughing a few times.
"Mom, why are you catching a cold again? Have you taken medicine? Go to bed early tonight and cover yourself with a thick quilt," Shi Miaomiao instructed, wishing she could return home right then upon hearing her mother’s cough.
