Dad Chi spoke slowly and then sighed: "Go, child, you're bored staying alone at home. Going out to ease your mind is good. Mom and Dad are getting old and can't keep you company for long. Our biggest wish now is to see you live a better life."
Some words, when unsaid, don't feel unsettling. But once spoken, they seem to become reality.
Indeed, they can't accompany Nuan'er much longer. Now, they hope Nuan'er will be happy.
"Dad...I...alright." Chi Nuan originally wanted to refuse, but when she looked up at her slightly graying father, the words stuck in her throat couldn't come out.
She had been disobeying Dad's words a lot, so for a small matter like this, listening to him once would not matter.
"Hmm." Dad Chi responded, turning to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned back and looked at Chi Nuan: "Nuan'er, Mom and Dad might not have done some things well, but we just hope your later years will be good."
"I understand, Dad." Chi Nuan replied.
