“Sir, I envy you so much!” Marilyn exclaimed after Terence had finished giving his advice to the girl.

“Oh, why is that?” Terence asked with curiosity in his eyes.

“I envy your wealth; I envy your high status; I envy that you can do things that we can’t! The air you breathe is probably different from what we lowly ants breathe, right?” Marilyn said earnestly.

These words were all from the books she had read!’ She actually enjoyed reading.

Unfortunately, her family was too poor to afford to send her to high school.

So, she had no choice but to drop out and stay at home.

“Haha, why envy me when I envy you as well?” Terence stated honestly.

“Sir, why would you envy me?” Marilyn looked puzzled.

“I envy your youth; I envy your beauty; I envy that your life still holds endless possibilities while my fate has already been determined and is nearing its end!” Terence didn’t like the word “determined,” but he had to accept reality.

It was because of this mindset that he, at over 70 years old, was still riding a motorcycle around his hometown tonight.

He despised admitting that he was past his prime! “Life is like a besieged city, isn’t it? People outside want to get in, but those inside are desperate to leave!” Terence sighed with emotion.
