Chapter 14-Riverbank Reconciliation and Broken Dreams: Xiao Xiaoxiao’s Wounded Past, Hua Die’s Comfort, and a Vow of Love

Xiao Xiaoxiao came to the side of the river and quietly laid on the grass. The warm sunlight gently caressed him. The streaming river became even louder and even more captivating. In the distance, the sound of machinery mingled with the long sound of a car made a song that made one’s heart flustered.

The sky, the blue, the blue. A few strands of white clouds drifted leisurely over the mountain. Everything was so beautiful and charming.

Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn’t dream of the school giving him a chance to show off. His heart was cold and painful. He even wanted to leave this place and walk far, far away. When he returned home on winter vacation, his sister sold a pig and a few grains of rice to collect her school fees. And last year, his sister didn’t ask anyone to bring money to him. But who gave the money to him?

Was he pitying him?

Pity him?

Poor people were sad. His military uniform was a sad product, and he had become a beggar who had been betrothed. His pain was like a bug devouring Xiao Xiaoxiao.

“At first he did not understand that his misfortunes were so fierce, that he was more distressed than sad; but as he gradually recovered his senses, he felt that the depths of the misfortunes, that all the joys of his life were lost, that only the sharp edges of despair kept tearing at his heart.Why speak of the pain of the body? How can this pain be compared to the pain of the heart?
