The night fell like a soft black velvet, quietly spreading over the small world of Lin Mengmeng's home. The warm yellow light from the house cast a glow, and the green plants in the corner seemed even more vibrant in the dim light. Every detail, whether it was the family photos hanging on the wall or the various books on the bookshelf, seemed to be telling the story of Lin Mengmeng's growth. This evening was particularly special for her, as it was the last night before she embarked on her journey to the Academy of Esoterics.
During dinner, the home was filled with a warm atmosphere. The dishes on the table were abundant and full of the taste of home. Lin Mengmeng sat at the table, feeling a bit nervous about the upcoming changes, but the warmth of her family made her feel at ease. Her eyes gently moved between the dishes and her family, shimmering with an appreciation for the present moment.
Her father, a gentle middle-aged man, had a loving smile on his face and his eyes were filled with concern and expectation for his daughter. His warm voice broke the silence of the dinner: " Mengmeng, take good care of yourself at the new school, and you can tell us if you encounter any difficulties."
Lin Mengmeng nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her lips. Her mother, a gentle woman, looked at her tenderly, her voice filled with reluctance and concern: "Remember to make more friends and don't be too shy. You are a smart and kind child, and you will definitely find friends who resonate with you."
Lin Mengmeng's heart was filled with a slight ripple, feeling the deep love and expectations from her parents. Her eyes wandered between the delicious food on the table and the faces of her loved ones, filled with gratitude. She squeezed out a slightly shy smile and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will remember. I will work hard."
During this dinner, the laughter and relaxed conversation of her family made Lin Mengmeng feel an unprecedented warmth. She felt the preciousness of this moment, as the small table was filled with hope for the future and deep family emotions. Although she felt a bit nervous, she also felt grounded. She silently vowed in her heart to find her place in the new environment, to work hard to change her timid and self-deprecating past self, and to explore the world and experience the richness and diversity of life in her own way.
After dinner, Lin Mengmeng sat in her room, and the moonlight outside the window spilled onto the floor through the curtains, forming a faint light spot. Her gaze fell on the bright moon outside the window, and she couldn't help but recall the scene of encountering a stray cat that afternoon. She remembered carefully bandaging the injured cat and accidentally triggering the Esoteric of heal, which changed her life. Lin Mengmeng sighed in her heart and silently made a wish, hoping it could find a warm home.
That simple action not only gave hope to the stray cat but also inadvertently gave her a kind of strength. Lin Mengmeng smiled gently, her smile carrying a hint of determination. In the moonlight, she made a wish: to find her place in the new environment and strive to become a stronger and more confident person.
Lin Mengmeng Slowly stood up from the carpet, her steps light but hesitant as she walked towards the corner of the room where the desk was located. A small desk lamp was placed on the desk, emitting a soft glow. She sat down gently, her fingers lightly touching the unopened notebook on the table. The cover of this notebook was simple, but for Lin Mengmeng, it was the vessel of her inner hopes.
She took a deep breath and slowly opened the notebook. The blank pages were like an unknown ocean, waiting for her exploration. She picked up the pen, her hand trembling slightly, but soon steadied. The pen tip lightly touched the paper, smoothly moving on it, and every word she wrote was carefully crafted, as if in a conversation with her own heart.
Lin Mengmeng's eyes show a hint of determination, with a slight upward curve at the corner of her mouth, indicating the joy and satisfaction she feels during the writing process. Her pen moves at times quickly, at times slowly, as if contemplating every detail about the future. She writes, "I hope to overcome my social anxiety, bravely face every interaction and challenge. I want to become more confident and learn to appreciate my own worth."
As the words on the notebook multiply, Lin Mengmeng's mood gradually calms. There's a glimmer in her eyes, reflecting anticipation for the future and affirmation of herself. She sets another goal: "I want to learn to express my feelings more openly, no longer afraid of others' judgments. I want to become a strong, independent woman."
During the process of writing, Lin Mengmeng's expression became more and more determined. She seemed to be bidding farewell to her past self, recording a new self in every word on the notebook. She stopped writing, gazing deeply at her words, filled with hope and courage.
After finishing her writing, Lin Mengmeng closed the notebook and let out a gentle sigh.
She turned off the lights in the room, lay on the bed, and gazed at the ceiling lost in thought. A series of question marks and uncertainties emerged in her mind.
On that quiet night, Lin Mengmeng's mind gradually entered into a deep sleep. Her breathing gradually became steady, entering into a mysterious and colorful dream.
In the world of dreams, it is both fantastical and real. Lin Mengmeng finds herself standing in a vast campus. This campus is strikingly similar to the Academy of Esoterics she is about to attend, yet it carries a somewhat surreal hue. Towering academic buildings, lush trees, and students wandering about, every detail exudes an unusual quality.
In this dream, Lin Mengmeng feels an unprecedented sense of freedom. Her steps are light, strolling through the campus at will. Her mood is relaxed and joyful, as if all worries and fears have been dissolved by this dream.
Suddenly, a burst of noise shattered the tranquility of the campus. Lin Mengmeng turned around and saw a group of students gathered around something. Out of curiosity, she walked over. She saw several students demonstrating their Esoteric, some able to control water flow, others able to make objects float. The audience marveled and cheered.
Lin Mengmeng stood in the crowd, feeling a strange excitement. Her eyes sparkled, and a deep desire surged within her - the desire to freely showcase her abilities just like them.
At that moment, a student approached her, holding a shimmering sphere in his hand. "Hey, why don't you give it a try too?" the student encouraged her.
Lin Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, feeling the fear and unease welling up inside her once again. She lowered her head, lightly rubbing the hem of her clothes with her fingers. But in the dream, she felt an unprecedented courage. In the end, she took a deep breath and reached out to take the glowing sphere.
The sphere trembled gently in her hand, emitting a soft glow. Lin Mengmeng closed her eyes, focusing on the energy emanating from the sphere. She felt as though a power within her was awakening.
When she opened her eyes, she was astonished to find that she could manipulate the energy within the sphere. Under her control, the sphere ascended slowly, emitting a dazzling light. The surrounding students exclaimed in amazement.
At this moment, Lin Mengmeng felt an unprecedented sense of achievement and confidence. A satisfied smile appeared on her face, and it seemed that her feelings of inferiority and fear were washed away by this power.
In the dream, Lin Mengmeng slowly put down the ball and nodded to the students around her. She felt extremely relaxed, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.
The dream gradually became blurry, and Lin Mengmeng slowly woke up from the dream. When she opened her eyes, she found herself still lying in her bed, and the sky outside was already turning white.
Lin Mengmeng sat up from the bed, her face wearing a gentle smile. Today, she would embark on a brand new journey to an unknown world.
The morning light gently poured into Lin Mengmeng's room from the window, casting a faint golden hue over everything inside. She stood quietly in front of the wardrobe, running her fingers lightly over the clothes hanging inside, each one carrying the warmth and memories of home. She chose a simple and comfortable outfit and carefully put it on. In front of the mirror, she adjusted the collar slightly and then gently smoothed out every wrinkle in the fabric.
Next, she turned to the luggage by the bed, making sure that each item was neatly packed. Her movements were delicate and methodical, with every detail showing her careful and meticulous nature. She checked the contents of the luggage: books, notebooks, daily necessities... ensuring that everything needed was ready.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Mengmeng picked up her luggage and slowly walked out of the room. Her steps were somewhat hesitant, as if with each step, she was bidding farewell to her past self in her heart. When she reached the staircase, she stopped and looked back at her room, her eyes filled with reluctance and memories.
She walked into the dining room and saw her family waiting for her there. The table was filled with her favorite breakfast, and the warm sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating everyone's faces. Her parents and younger brother looked at her with expectant eyes, their faces full of love and encouragement.
Lin Mengmeng whispered, "Good morning, Dad, Mom." Her voice carried a hint of nervousness and unease.
Her father smiled and replied, "Good morning, Mengmeng. Today is your big day."
Her mother then comforted her in a soft voice, "Don't be nervous, everything will go smoothly."
Lin Mengmeng nodded slightly, sat down, and began to eat. Her movements seemed a bit stiff, showing her inner tension. However, the warm atmosphere of her family gradually eased her nervousness. She made an effort to participate in the family conversation, although she didn't speak much, a hint of a smile gradually appeared on her face.
Eating breakfast, Lin Mengmeng feels a mix of reluctance to leave home and anticipation for the new life ahead. She tries to focus on the present, cherishing this final breakfast with her family. Every bite of food brings the taste of home, a feeling she will deeply miss.
The atmosphere at the table gradually lightens, and the family's conversation helps ease Lin Mengmeng's mood. Her parents' encouraging looks and warm smiles from time to time make her feel deeply supported and loved.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Mengmeng stood up and straightened her clothes. Her mother walked over and gently adjusted her collar, her face filled with endless tenderness and reluctance. " Mengmeng, remember to come home often. No matter when, this will always be your harbor," her voice was soft and full of emotion.
Tears glistened in Lin Mengmeng's eyes as she nodded, tightly embracing her mother. Then she turned to her father, embracing him as well. She took a deep breath, picked up her luggage, and prepared to embark on her journey to the Academy of Esoterics.
When she walked out of the house, Lin Mengmeng looked back, her eyes filled with nostalgia and gratitude for her home. Then she turned around, mustered all her courage, and took firm steps towards a new journey in life.
