2354. Chapter 2354: Starting to Lose Myself 42

"Mom, if it's alright, I'll go back to my room first." I was still tearing up, weakly stood up and said to Lao Ma.

"Wait. You give me a promise now, promise you won't have any more contact with A Yun from now on." Lao Ma looked at me expressionlessly and said.

I just knew that although Mom hadn't said those words just now, she would definitely not let me be with Shangguan Yun anymore.

So I told Lao Ma everything—how I met Shangguan Yun, how long we were together, and how Shangguan Yun pursued me.

Although some things cannot be spoken of, I still said what needed to be said.

"Xuanxuan, you're still young—how old are you now? Don't think that because A Yun's family is rich, your future will be carefree. Do you understand men? You're just kids now; any vows of eternal love are fake, and whether you love or not—you're so young, do you even know what love is? What is love?" At this, Lao Ma looked at me with heartache and said earnestly.

Actually, I do understand love; I really know what love is.

I truly, truly love Shangguan Yun, but I just don't have the courage to say it.

"Raising you hasn't been easy for me, and I never thought I'd want you to stay home with me forever. There will be time for dating; when you reach a certain age, even if you don't want to date, I'll still let you—but the time hasn't come yet, do you understand?" Seeing that I didn't speak, Lao Ma said again.

After Lao Ma finished speaking, Liu Xi and I didn't say anything else.

Regarding views on love, our young people's ideas differ from Lao Ma's, but we lack the courage to argue with them.

At this moment, whatever Lao Ma says goes.

Everything she says is correct.

"Moreover, you're so self-disrespectful now—how will you ever get married? Even if you do marry, how would you think to find a good family? Don't think that just because A Yun says he'll marry you in the future, you can blindly believe him—it's useless, promises are worthless, do you understand? You're students now; students have student responsibilities. Your duty right now isn't to study, but to read as students." Seeing that we still hadn't spoken, Lao Ma said again earnestly.
