1. "Where's mom?"
2. "Your mom..."
3. "She might not come back..."
1. "She said..."
2. "It's not fun being with me..."
3. "Not fun..."
1. It seems like mom has left dad.
2. At that time, I didn't quite understand the situation.
1. And dad was just sitting on the couch, looking defeated...
2. "What does it all mean, exactly?"
1. After that, he didn't show much of a reaction either.
2. Just...
3. "......"
1. "I can't figure it out..."
2. "......"
3. "......"
1. "Ha..."
2. "Nevermind..."
3. "Even those friends I used to be close with, I lost contact with most of them in just a few years."
1. "People, indeed, come and go..."
2. "It's normal for her to leave too."
1. "......"
2. "She was never meant to stay forever..."
3. "Will dad leave too?"
1. "......."
2. "Perhaps he might."
1. "......"
2. "Ahem..."
3. "Xiao xue,"
4. "I remember you won an award, right?"
1. "Make a phone call and let mom know, okay?"
1. "Hello, mom."
2. "No... Nothing's wrong, it's just that..."
1. "I won an award in the city-level math competition."
2. Hmm... You're really smart, just like your dad.
3. "........."
1. "Mom will send you a gift in a little while."
2. "Okay, I have something to do now. I'll hang up."
3. "Goodbye!"
4. "She hung up."
1. "Oh... Okay."
2. Since then...
3. Every time I achieved a ranking or received an award...
1. Dad would ask me to call mom and share the good news.
2. "Mom..."
3. But gradually...
4. Even though I kept winning awards...
1. The number of phone calls...
2. Became fewer and fewer.
3. This kind of phenomenon...
4. Always reminds me of what dad said that day.
1. "People come and go..."
2. "They won't always be there."
3. So, after moving with dad for his job to a new school...
1. "Hello, everyone..."
2. "Hello there!"
3. "Mmm..."
4. "Are you from school a?"
5. "Let's go have lunch together later, okay?"
1. "It's not convenient for me."
2. "It seems like she doesn't want to talk to us."
3. "Seems like it..."
4. I wasn't interested in actively getting to know anyone and lacks interest in socializing.
