I just felt like life was a dense net, and I was like a node, entangled by countless clues.
I needed to calm myself down, as I still had to go to work in the afternoon.
In the evening, my mother called me again, asking if I had been too busy with work recently, or if I was in a bad mood.
I said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left at noon."
My mother said, if I wasn't ready for the things we talked about at noon, we could just let it be for now. However, it was time to give Xiaohua an explanation.
After hanging up my mother's phone, Xiaohua called me, asking why I hadn't come home so late.
All of a sudden, I felt irritated again but I couldn't lash out at Xiaohua, so I restrained myself and said, "I'll be done once I finish the work at hand."
I ended the call without waiting for her to respond.
