Wu Wa didn't know what had gotten into her back then.
She always felt the desire to leave the village, wanting to see the outside world.
She thought Mommy was too strict, always wearing a stern face.
But once she really left, she began to miss it.
She missed the way Mommy's face would darken in anger, missed the meals Mommy would make.
She even missed the times she was punished by kneeling.
Was she a bit...
Cough cough cough...
A masochist, perhaps.
"It's perfectly normal, I also want to grow up quickly so I can do whatever I want without worries," Bai Zhi said with a smile, yet the mirth in her eyes was so deep it was unfathomable.
As a child, she always wanted to grow up quickly; adults could do as they pleased.
Do whatever they wanted.
But it wasn't until she grew up that she realized life was full of helplessness, only unnoticed because the adults bore it all.
