Father Yu and Mother Yu reminisced the dream again, and ultimately decided to leave Anning be for the time being, to let her suffer a bit more.
Anning had a rather deep sleep that night.
She got up very early in the morning, went for a jog in the small park outside, came back to make a simple breakfast, washed the dishes after eating, and was just about to go to school when her phone rang.
It was a call from Aunt Zhang, to Anning's surprise.
She answered promptly: "Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang sounded quite anxious: "Ningning, where are you right now? Did they... really kick you out?"
Anning was silent for a while before she said, "Yes, I've rented a place now. I'm doing okay, don't worry about me."
"How can I not worry?"
Aunt Zhang sounded nearly in tears: "You're so young, how could they be so heartless, what sin did they make you bear?"
Aunt Zhang asked Anning for her address again: "You wait for me at home, I will be right over."
