He raised his head with difficulty and cast his gaze towards the distant horizon. At this time, the eastern sky had begun to turn slightly white, and the dawn light was quietly penetrating the darkness, bringing a faint light to the earth.

Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Han Chunming suddenly felt a strong impulse in his heart. He opened his mouth and used all his strength to let out a heart-wrenching cry. This cry was like the last struggle of a wounded beast in despair, full of endless resentment and anger. It seemed to break through the clouds and reach the sky, venting to the whole world the grievances and helplessness that had been accumulated deep in Han Chunming's heart for a long time.

After shouting, Han Chunming's eyes, as deep as a pool of water, stared at the fire in front of him that was almost burning out. His gaze was so solemn that it seemed that he could see through the faint flames and see the secrets hidden behind them. The dancing flames trembled and swayed in the wind, and it seemed that they might be completely extinguished at any second, but they persisted tenaciously and refused to give up the last ray of light easily.

He clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks slightly bulged from the excessive force, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. However, he did not hesitate at all, resolutely bent down, stretched out his right hand and quickly grabbed a handful of soil next to him. The soil was cold and rough, and there was a little moisture on it, which formed a very sharp contrast with his palms that had become hot due to nervousness and excitement.

Then, he took a deep breath, swung his strong and powerful arms, and threw the soil in his hand towards the fire like a javelin! At that moment, a large cloud of dust rose up into the air like yellow smoke and quickly spread. At the same time, accompanied by a dull "puff" sound, the originally blazing flames seemed to have encountered a sudden disaster, as if they were strangled by an invisible giant hand, and instantly lost all vitality.

In the blink of an eye, the once vigorous flame was buried by the merciless soil, leaving only a few wisps of green smoke rising slowly from the soil. These wisps of green smoke were thin and fragile, like a veil that could not withstand a single blow, gently twisting their bodies under the breeze, like illusory ghosts floating in the air, and gradually disappearing into the dark night.

After completing this series of actions, Han Chunming stood there quietly, as if time had frozen. However, after just a few seconds, he stood up without hesitation and clapped his hands vigorously, trying to dispel the dust and fatigue left on his hands. Then, he slowly turned around, and his back looked extremely lonely and desolate.

He lifted his foot and took the first step, his whole body trembling slightly. The steps were extremely heavy, as if his legs were filled with lead, and every move required a huge effort. As the footsteps moved, the dust on the ground was also raised, forming a small cloud of smoke, just like the lingering haze in his heart.

Han Chunming walked towards home step by step. With every step, he could hear the heavy sigh of the land under his feet, as if the land also felt the pain and helplessness in his heart.

The road home was not long, but for Han Chunming at this moment, it seemed endless. Along the way, his mood became heavier, as if a towering mountain was pressing down on his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. The mountain not only carried the pressure brought by the various unpleasant things that had just happened, but also the deep confusion and fear about the future.

However, despite the bitterness and uneasiness in his heart, Han Chunming still gritted his teeth and moved forward firmly. Because he knew very well that no matter what kind of difficulties and hardships were waiting for him ahead, he had to face them bravely. Moreover, his old mother, who had always been silently concerned about him, was waiting for him to return home. He could not let the old lady worry for too long, and he could not evade his responsibilities. Therefore, no matter how hard and tired he was, he had to rush home as soon as possible, tell his mother everything truthfully, and tell her the truth of all things without reservation...

Han Chunming couldn't help but frown as he recalled what happened yesterday. At that moment, although he just said a few angry words because of impulse, these people were all neighbors who lived in the same compound with him and saw each other every day! In this small circle, there was no way to ensure that those words would not be spread around by some ill-intentioned people. Especially if they accidentally reached the ears of his elderly and frail mother, the consequences would be disastrous.

You have to understand that Han Chunming's mother is already old and in poor health. She always needs to be carefully taken care of. If she knew that he did not come home last night, I don't know how anxious she would be! Just thinking about it, Han Chunming's originally calm heart was instantly tangled like a tangled mess, as heavy as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing on it, making him almost unable to breathe.

Han Chunming dragged his heavy steps slowly towards the door of his home. From a distance, he saw his mother standing at the door with an anxious look on her face. Her anxious eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles and fall directly on her son.

When she finally saw Han Chunming, her eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and hurriedly pulled him into the house.

Han Chunming was filled with guilt, his head lowered to the ground like a child who had done something wrong. After entering the house, he did not dare to look up at his mother, but just followed her to the living room and sat down silently.

After sitting down, Han Chunming took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to tell his mother the whole story. While he was talking, he secretly observed the changes in his mother's expression, fearing that she would be disappointed or sad.

However, after listening to his story, his mother did not blame him too much. She just sighed softly, then stretched out her warm palm and patted the back of his hand gently, and said earnestly:

"Child, don't be afraid! There are still many days ahead. Meeting each other is a rare fate, but also a severe test. Maybe at the next corner, you will meet the person who truly belongs to you. So, if the old doesn't go, how can the new come? Life is so wonderful, full of unknowns and surprises. Since Su Meng and we don't have this blessing, don't force it. Believe that the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and a bright future is waiting for you."
