Facing this young man, Xiao An, instead of feeling the hesitance she had just displayed with the shop clerk, spoke candidly: "I haven't picked herbs for daily expenses in days. My parents have long been annoyed with me, and now that I've brought this seriously injured cat back home, how could they tolerate another mouth to feed? Even for the sake of the cat, I cannot stay in that place any longer."
When Xiao An mentioned that place, she was unwilling to call it "home."
She had seen harmonious families before, like that of Wang Yiyi. Although her demeanor was arrogant and snobbish, it was the confidence her parents instilled in her. No matter what mistakes Wang Yiyi made, her parents would always support her.
Xiao An deeply understood she was different. Every choice she faced was like walking on the edge of a cliff while picking herbs. One wrong step, and she would fall into an abyss, with no one there to hold a rope for her.
