Chapter 145 Hesitation and Expectation

"Wanqing, have you really decided to go to the city?" Su Xiaoyu, a loyal friend, pushed open the door, with concern in her eyes.

"Yes, Xiaoyu. I think this is a rare opportunity." Lin Wanqing sorted out the appointment letter, smiled slightly, trying to hide her inner uneasiness.

"But... you know life there is completely different. Will you miss home and us?" Su Xiaoyu hesitated, with reluctance in her eyes.

"Of course I will miss you, but a person must always pursue his or her own dreams." Lin Wanqing said in a firm tone, as if she had already made a decision.

"How can I feel at ease if you leave like this?" Su Xiaoyu was anxious and held her hand eagerly. "We have been through so much together. I know you are capable, but the big city is complicated. You must be careful."

"I understand. Don't worry." Lin Wanqing held her hand tightly, with a warm light in her eyes. "I will come back often."

At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, and Lin Wanqing's younger brother Lin Zhiqiang ran in on tiptoe, his face full of excitement: "Sister, you are going to the city! I want to go too, take me with you!"

"You are full of nonsense, kid." Lin Wanqing smiled helplessly and ruffled his hair. "I go there to work, not to play. It's very hard there."

"I'm not afraid of hard work! I can help you!" Lin Zhiqiang said confidently, his face full of hope.

"It's really not possible. It won't be too late to go when you grow up." Lin Wanqing said softly, but she felt a little reluctant in her heart.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was Lin's father who came in. He had a calm face, leaning against the door frame, and said with a serious tone: "Wanqing, I heard that you are going to the city for an interview soon?"

"Yes, Dad." Lin Wanqing stood up straight, her heart slightly tense, waiting for her father's next reaction.

"Although the city is good, you need to be careful. If you feel any discomfort, don't hesitate, come back immediately." Father Lin said seriously, his eyes revealing kindness and worry.

"I will, Dad. I have my own judgment and won't make decisions easily." Lin Wanqing pursed her lips and silently promised in her heart to do better.

"Take care of yourself. The human relationships there are complicated and your temper might put you at a disadvantage." Father Lin said lightly, with a kind but firm look in his eyes.

"I will familiarize myself with the environment in advance, Dad, you don't have to worry." Lin Wanqing's tone became gentle. Although she was a little nervous in her heart, she definitely didn't want to make her father worry.

In the evening, everyone sat together and shared a simple dinner. Lin Zhiqiang looked up at his sister with envy from time to time. After a few mouthfuls of food, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister, you go to work in the city, what should I do? I have to think about you every day!"

"Just study hard and strive to become a high-ranking official in the city sooner or later, and then come back to find me." Lin Wanqing teased in this way, intending to make her brother feel more at ease.

"I will!" Lin Zhiqiang was full of confidence and clenched his teeth, as if he had already seen the future scene.

A few days later, Lin Wanqing packed her bags and prepared to leave. She stood at the entrance of the village, surrounded by tranquility. The hometown she had experienced countless days and nights in was like a dream at this moment.

"Xiaoyu, you're here?" Lin Wanqing was surprised to see her good friend.

"I want to come and see you off. No matter how far you go, I want to tell you that I will always support you." Su Xiaoyu smiled, but there were tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu. Every time I think of you, I feel more courageous." Lin Wanqing was filled with emotion, feeling excited about embarking on an unknown journey.

"Let's go, the road ahead belongs only to you." Su Xiaoyu said softly, with anticipation in her eyes.

"Fang'er, what's wrong with you? Doesn't that letter make you happy?" Li Wanyue, Chen Fang's good friend, who was standing beside her, followed her emotions and her face was full of concern.

"I... am very excited, but also feel scared." Chen Fang slowly put down the letter, her tone revealing a bit of helplessness, "Going to the city to work means that everything has to start all over again."

"Don't you want to pursue your dreams?" Li Wanyue asked in confusion, her eyes full of encouragement, "So many talented people came from here!"

"But when I think about leaving my familiar environment, I feel uneasy." Chen Fang sighed and looked out the window. There were children playing and old women chatting on the street, and the atmosphere of life was everywhere.

"This is exactly the meaning of leaving your hometown, to embrace a new life." Li Wanyue said softly, trying to encourage her courage. "Besides, there are more opportunities in the city, and you can learn more."

Chen Fang pondered for a moment, her eyes still blurry. "I understand, but what would my mother think? Her expectation for me to be at home has never diminished."

"You must put your future first." Li Wanyue's eyes showed determination, "Instead of hesitating here, you might as well try bravely and give yourself a chance."

"But I always feel that once I take this step, there is no turning back." Chen Fang's voice trembled, and the fear of the unknown grew more and more in her heart.

"Life is a journey. Sometimes you have to let go of the past to welcome new scenery." Li Wanyue said calmly. Her words were like a trickle of water, warming Chen Fang's heart. She continued, "You choose to pursue your dreams, not to leave home, but to prepare for your future return."

"I know, but I'm still hesitant." Chen Fang responded softly, with a hint of sadness on her face.

"Fang'er, come and listen to my thoughts." At this time, Chen Fang's mother, Chen, came in with a smile on her face and tenderness in her eyes. "I saw you holding the letter this morning and I knew you had made a choice in your heart."

"Mother, I...it's not that I don't want to leave you." Chen Fang said in a low voice, her heart full of apology.

"This is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about." Chen sat down and gently held Chen Fang's hand. "You will always be the most important person in my heart, but as a mother, I hope to see you pursue your own dreams."

"I just think that life in the city will be very difficult." Chen Fang said softly, and the confusion about the future rose in her heart again.

"There is no smooth and unobstructed road in this world. You have to believe in yourself and overcome all difficulties." Chen smiled slightly, revealing the radiance of maternal love on her face. "I will always support your decision. No matter how far you go, you will always have me in your heart."

Listening to her mother's words, Chen Fang's heart was filled with warmth, as if her courage was rekindled. She looked out the window, and the sun was still shining, as if cheering for her new journey.

"Then...how should I prepare?" Her tone finally became firmer.

"From now on, pack your luggage and get your mind ready. We can prepare some clothes and necessities for you, and we will set off tomorrow." Li Wanyue said excitedly, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Yes, your dream is worth everything." Chen agreed, feeling genuinely proud of her daughter's future.

"Okay, I'll prepare well." Chen Fang raised a smile, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated. She thought about the days ahead, which were unknown but exciting.

"Don't forget to come home as often as possible." Her mother's words warmed her heart again. Chen Fang nodded, and silently made up her mind to take this step and embrace a new future.
