love letter to summer

Ye Ma smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't be so discouraged, find a time to talk to Xia Tang and let him know what you think. Son, don't be afraid, do what you want to do bravely, you can do it .”

Ye Ma was so proud and full of confidence that Ye Ji began to doubt himself. He looked at Ye Ma and asked, "Are you sure? What if I fail? Will Xia Tang hate me? Or will his parents hate me?" Want to break up with us?"

Ye Ma shrugged: "If you are so scared, just give up."

Ye Ji: "..."

Ye Ma: "If you are not willing, go and try."

Ye Ji: "If you fail..."

Ye Ma: "So are you going to try it or not?"

Ye Ji: "Let's try it..."

Mother Ye smiled and sighed: "I'm still a child. You know what? When I first came out to do business, the business field was still dominated by men. At that time, the most common sentence I heard was, 'How can a little girl learn from a man? In business, no matter how much money you make outside, you have to serve your man when you go home, but I ignored them, I survived, and now, those who used to laugh at me have to nod and bow when they talk to me, Be careful not to offend me. I was born into that family and I was discriminated against because of being a woman, but I still made it to this day.”

She looked at Ye Ji, the light was flowing on her face like water, the light rippling and slowly overflowing, her eyebrows and eyes gradually stretched out again, just like the sparkling water light making moving waves on the lake. Ripple, she said: "So, don't be afraid, even if the road ahead is blocked, as long as you are tenacious enough, you will be able to carve a way out by yourself."

The words she said were nothing new, even a bit clichéd, but for some reason, when they came out of her mouth, they became extremely powerful and resounding, like someone striking a gong with a heavy hammer.

Ye Ji felt encouraged.

Ye Ji: "Mom, have you ever thought about giving up?"

"Yes, of course, I am human too."

"What keeps you going?"

"God's guidance."

"..."

"I'm kidding, don't you look at me like this. I just think, I really like doing business, it makes me feel alive. If I choose to take the traditional path: get married and have children and work full-time Ma'am, maybe I'll be more relaxed than I am now, but I feel like my life is over, and when I die I won't even remember if I've done anything in my life that I'm proud of."

"So, my opinion is." She looked at Ye Ji and said, "In this life, you should at least do one thing that makes you feel that you are really alive."

Ye Ji looked into Ye Ma's eyes, and he suddenly found that although Ye Ma was nearly fifty years old, her eyes were full of energy and concentration, like the eyes of a passionate young man who had just entered the society.

Ye Ji felt that he drank a bowl of Michelin-level chicken soup.

Ye Ma finished pouring the chicken soup and began to pour cold water: "Although I have been encouraging you, I must also remind you of one thing - Xia Tang is not gay, which means that he could have married and had children, had the family he expected, and Get the blessings of all your relatives and friends. What you are doing now is rewriting his life, and you must think carefully about it."

Ye Ji's body froze, Ye Ma's words hit him hard like a hammer.

The wall clock clang clang clang.

Ye Ji looked up at the clock, and before he knew it, it was already three o'clock.

Ye Ma patted him on the shoulder and said, "You really should go to sleep."

"Yeah." Ye Ji stood up, and then he looked down at Mama Ye, intending to say goodnight to her, but the moment he lowered his head, he suddenly found a strand of white strands in Mama Ye's thick black hair.

He was stunned, as stunned as he was when NASA said that a meteorite would crash into the earth in three seconds.

Ye Ji didn't know how to describe the feeling at that moment - he suddenly realized that he was used to Ye's mother now, as if his mother was born like this, and would always be like this in the future, but at this moment, he suddenly felt nothing. Witnessed a fact without warning: Mother Ye is getting old.

His mother is getting old.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ma asked suspiciously.

"You... have white hair."

Ye Ma was stunned for a moment, then she stretched out her hand to stroke her hair, the expression on her face was exactly the same as Ye Ji's astonished expression.However, she quickly smiled with relief and said, "I'm getting old."

Ye Ji looked at her in bewilderment.

Mother Ye showed a shallow smile and said: "I can't be with you forever, son, I will get older and older, and life will flow away from my body little by little. Slowly, I will not be able to straighten up. Listen I can’t clearly see what you are saying, and I can’t see what you look like.” She ruthlessly narrated her aging process in a calm tone, as if telling a plain story, “I will get older and older, and then Finally one day, when you open the door of your house, you will never see me again."

The light of the moon is slowly moving outside the window, the shadows of the trees are whirling, and the branches and leaves are blown by the wind.

"Shushasha——" it was like the wind was crying.

Ye Ji stood still, unable to speak.

The scene that Ye Ma said appeared in front of his eyes, vivid and real as if it was happening—the empty living room, kitchen, bedroom, empty home, he pushed open those heavy doors one by one, But he couldn't see anyone.

No matter how long he waited, or even if he searched all over the world, Ye Ma's figure would never appear in front of his eyes again.

"It is impossible for me to accompany you for the rest of your life. One day, you will face this world alone, so you must strengthen your heart so that you can be alone." Ye Ma stretched out her hand and gently held him hanging on her body "This world is so vast, if you feel that you are restricted everywhere and cannot fly freely, it is often not because you are locked in a cage, but because you have the potential to be an eagle but choose to be an eagle." Sparrow, because you are afraid of falling from a height."
