Selena kissed me on the forehead and showed her rare smile. I have to admit, she looks quite charming when she smiles. 0
 
I only asked for half of the money back, but in order to please Selena and make our family a little more harmonious, I paid the other half out of my own pocket. It happened to be 500 rubles, which I handed over to Selena. 0
 
 
You know, I have always been a person without a family, so how much I long for the warmth of a family being together! 0
 
She was very happy with everything I did for her. This is something only I know, and even many other things, I have borne on my own. I didn't even tell her until I completely broke up with Betty. 0
 
 
In the days that followed, there was a relatively calm period for quite some time. During this time, I still managed to read many books in my spare time and had the good fortune to meet a poor college student journalist named Marco, who left a deep impression on me. Whenever I dreamt of starting something new or felt ambitious, I would think of him. 0
 
He told me that he had traveled across the ocean to get here, and that he had visited almost every country in Europe. He said he wanted to travel the world. 0
 
 
I met him in a park. He chose a corner, laid out a mat, and placed many photos on it, all of which were taken at famous scenic spots. They looked as if they were taken by a professional photographer. He sold them for very little money, just enough for his meals and travel expenses. 0
 
I felt that this young man was different from many other young people, including myself. I felt that he was full of energy, an energy that seemed inexhaustible. I became interested in him and took the initiative to talk to him. 0
 
 
"Hi, friend, can we be friends!" I put a few photos in front of him. 0
 
"Please feel free to take any photo you like!" He spoke very quickly, without even looking at me. 0
 
 
"You are an interesting person, how can you be so rude!" 0
 
"I only do the right things, say the right words, time is precious to me. I don't have the leisure to understand your world!" 0
 
 
"Is giving you more money not enough?" I put down a few more gobbies for him. 0
 
"Alright, since you've given me more gobbies, I'll chat with you a bit more. But first, you have to answer my questions: Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going?" 0
 
 
"What? What are you saying! My name is Zhang Xiaobei, I'm not from here, and as for where I want to go, I haven't decided yet!" 0
 
"That's the difference between you and me. You won't understand anything I say, so I refuse to chat with you!" 0
 
 
"What do you mean, friend? You've confused me. I approached you because I noticed you were different from other young people, and I wanted to learn something from you. I thought you were easygoing, but a guy who can't even afford travel expenses is still so arrogant! It's really rare!" 0
 
"Oh, you're quite good at judging people! I don't have travel expenses, and I haven't even had a proper meal in two days, but I have dreams!" 0
 
 
His words shocked me, and suddenly I felt that I should also be a person with dreams. 0
 
"Then let me treat you to a meal and listen to you talk about your dreams, how about that!" I said. 0
 
 
Marco carefully looked me up and down, then agreed to have dinner with me. 0
 
I want to see how big the ambitions of a poor student really are. 0
