BABY Baoling

1(^.^)

...

In the early hours of the morning ha rin gets up and leaves the house quietly

she walks for a while and stops at a nearby Internet cafe

she had been studying very hard to be successful

her parents were quite poor, and they could barely afford rent

this pushed her desire to work harder

she sat down and began studying when a guy came up and sat next to her
