An enigmatic letter

You know what, I'm sick of it!" Mei said this while starring at the ceiling. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears and her sweet expression has changed.

Being an only child wasn't a big deal,but the fact that your mother expects you to be someone you're not. Painting and feeling satisfied when your painting gets attention and good words is more than enough for an average painter to feel satisfied. Art school was also an option but her mother never made it a priority. She wants her to be a fragile woman,a woman that can only survive at the touch of a man. She wanted her to be a player,to have all the boys in the village at her control so that the other mothers would be jealous. She always liked to wear clothes that give ancient feelings because as her mother she loved history.

Mei, you're going to have to endure it! I did not birth you to be a failure! All those people call you a prodigy,why can't you act like one?

"How is a prodigy supposed to act? Like a slave? Just leave me alone!"

What are you saying? Have you lost your mind,this is the chance of a life time, you're will be enrolled at the best college. You'll meet other prodigies like you,how can you stay there and cry when you were given such a chance?

"You don't have any idea on how I feel! The only person you think of is yourself and how proud is grandma going to be if I get there! Grandma said that I can do whatever I want!"

You're such a shame! You don't even know how much I spent on you and your stupid art supplies! You were stealing money to buy them even when I refused to buy you.

"What was I supposed to do when you didn't even care about my mental health? Painting is like an hobby for me,I want to make a living with it!"

Open the door or else I'm killing you with my bare hands!

"Kill me, I'm your offspring anyways!"

After a while,there was no noise to be heard,and the only noise she could hear was the sound of singing birds.

She could hear them since her room had a window through which they could sleep peacefully and sing as the days passed.

Hearing them sing was like receiving a divine blessing. They assisted her in gradually escaping the horror she was trapped in.

She was arranging her clothes in a wardrobe she'd had since she was a child, in which she kept a lot of things. She didn't say she needed them, but she did say she keeps them so she can remember who she was before the fame she thought she'll have.

Her mother compelled her to attend to college on the last day before she started. Her mournful expression hid all the things he sought to deceive.

Her being the result of an affair was also a problem to her vanity,her selfishness often showed up in different situations and it made her angrier and angrier until the anger ate her up till she was completely insane. Her life was at the hands of her mother now. She always carved with the sand trying to make a face, the face of a fragile girl,the sea waves always destroyed it,it was because there was no place for her work in a world full of haters.

One of the pigeons that often came to her window came this time with a letter in its beak.

Who could have been the one that send it?

It seems like it's such an enigmatic letter.

I can't even call it a letter even though it looks like one it's more of an invitation. At the game center? But it's an unusual name

"Shèjì lùjìng"
