A few days later, Lin Mengmeng's life took a major turn. One afternoon, as she was sitting at her desk immersed in her studies, the doorbell suddenly rang. Her heart raced as she glanced out the window and saw two formally dressed individuals standing at the door.
Lin Mengmeng walked downstairs quietly, feeling a mix of curiosity and unease as she opened the door. Standing outside were an elegant lady and a very astute-looking gentleman. They introduced themselves as representatives from the prestigious Academy of Esoterics.
"Hello, Miss Lin Mengmeng, we are representatives from the Academy of Esoterics, and we are very interested in your special abilities," the woman said with a gentle and friendly smile.
Miss Lin Mengmeng's eyes revealed surprise, and her hands involuntarily clenched the hem of her skirt. Nervously, she responded, "How did you... know about me?"
"We have specialized observers in our academy who seek out young people with special Esoteric abilities like yours," explained the gentleman, his eyes carrying a hint of certainty. "We hope you can join us and become a member of our academy."
Lin Mengmeng felt afraid. Many questions surged in her mind: What kind of place is this academy? Are the people there all like her, possessing special abilities? Is she really suitable for it?
In the warm living room, Lin Mengmeng sat on a soft sofa, tightly hugging her backpack. Her gaze shifted between the delicate booklet in front of her and the woman sitting across from her. The woman's eyes were full of encouragement and understanding, as if she could sense Lin Mengmeng's hesitation and unease.
The woman gently opened the booklet and said softly, "Every corner here is designed to help students with special abilities like you." Her fingers glided over the smooth pages, pausing on a photo. The training ground in the photo was spacious and bright, and the students inside looked focused and energetic.
The gentleman next to her continued, "Our team of mentors are all outstanding individuals in their respective fields. They will not only teach you how to control and utilize your abilities, but also help you overcome any psychological barriers." His voice carried a convincing power.
Lin Mengmeng's eyes wandered back and forth between the photos and the brochure, showing a hint of curiosity and anticipation on her face. But at the same time, a deep concern was also evident between her eyebrows. Her lips trembled slightly, an unconscious reaction when she was nervous.
She swallowed hard, trying to make her voice sound more steady: "Um... what if, I mean, if I'm not good at communicating with people, would that be a problem?" Her voice was small and trembling, showing her inner struggle.
The lady and the gentleman glanced at each other, then the lady gently replied, "Every student here is unique, and we will provide assistance based on each person's characteristics. Your concerns are completely understandable, but please believe that we will support you throughout your journey."
Lin Mengmeng felt a hint of comfort in her heart despite still having worries.
The moonlight that night shone through the curtains, creating a quiet and gentle atmosphere in Lin Mengmeng's room. She sat on the edge of the bed, holding her phone in her hand, took a deep breath, and then dialed her friend's number. Lin Mengmeng's heart couldn't help but beat faster, even though the person on the other end was her most trusted friend. She still felt a bit nervous as she talked about her feelings and experiences.
After the call connected, her voice sounded hesitant: "Hi, it's me, Mengmeng. Today... today I encountered something, and I want to talk to you about it."
Her friend's voice came through from the other end of the phone, sounding both warm and caring: " Mengmeng, what happened? You can tell me."
Lin Mengmeng began to talk about her experiences today, speaking at a somewhat fast pace, as if trying to control her emotions. When she mentioned the booklet introducing the Academy of Esoterics and her hesitation, her voice became even softer.
On the other end of the phone, her friend listened and occasionally offered words of encouragement: "Mengmeng, this is a great opportunity. You should give it a try. You have this ability, which is something very special. Don't let your fear limit your potential."
Lin Mengmeng Quietly listening, her fingers unconsciously stroked the sheets. Her eyes gazed at the moon outside the window, as if searching for answers.
"I... I will think about it," she finally replied, her voice revealing hesitation and lack of confidence, but also a hint of courage and desire for change.
On the other end of the phone, her friend comforted her softly, "No matter what you decide, I will support you. You are much stronger than you imagine."
Lin Mengmeng felt a hint of comfort in her heart. She knew that this decision was significant for her, but with the encouragement and support of her friend, she felt that she was no longer facing these challenges alone. After the call ended, she lay quietly on the bed, her heart filled with both confusion and anticipation.
After the conversation with her friend on the phone, Lin Mengmeng's mood remained complicated. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, constantly weighing this major decision in her heart. According to what she learned from the college representative, her healing ability is extremely rare. If she were to enter the college, she would undoubtedly become the center of attention, which made her extremely uneasy.
Struggle and panic were evident on Lin Mengmeng's face. Her fingers lightly rubbed the edge of the blanket, a habitual movement when she was nervous. Her eyes were vacant, and her lips trembled slightly, as if trying to find some comfort.
The next day, at school, her mind was completely elsewhere during class. Her gaze wandered aimlessly around the classroom, as if searching for answers. While her classmates discussed everyday topics, she felt as if she were floating in another world.
After school, Lin Mengmeng walked home aimlessly, her steps heavy. The scenery along the street seemed so blurry, her thoughts completely immersed in the invitation from the Academy of Esoterics.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was the elegant lady, who explained in detail the academy's expectations for Lin Mengmeng and once again emphasized how special and precious her abilities were.
"Miss Lin, we understand that you may have concerns, but please believe that our academy is a place where every Esoteric practitioner can feel safe and respected," the lady's voice was full of sincerity.
Lin Mengmeng's throat was dry, and she struggled to suppress the panic in her heart: "But... if I really go, will I... become the subject of discussion for everyone?"
"We will ensure your personal privacy and safety. Under our protection, you will be free to develop your abilities," the lady replied gently.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mengmeng's mind was filled with contradictions and confusion. She knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but her introverted nature and fear of becoming the center of attention made it difficult for her to make a decision.
That night, she wrote down her feelings and anxieties in her diary. Her handwriting seemed a bit shaky, with each word revealing her inner struggle. She wrote, "I'm afraid of being the center of attention, I'm afraid of losing my peaceful life. But at the same time, I long to understand myself, to explore this special ability."
That night, Lin Mengmeng tossed and turned, finding it difficult to fall asleep. Her heart was filled with uncertainty, feeling lost and afraid about the future.
Lin Mengmeng's night seemed endless. She tossed and turned, her thoughts wavering between the invitation from the Academy of Esoterics and her inner struggle. She felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness, and even though the stars outside were shining, they couldn't illuminate the confusion in her heart.
The next day, she walked into the school as usual, but her heart had already drifted far away. In class, the teacher's voice echoed in her ears, but her thoughts remained at the threshold of the Academy of Esoterics. Unconsciously, she drew circles in her notebook, each circle representing her doubts and fears.
During lunch break, Lin Mengmeng sat alone on a bench in the school garden, staring at her phone, hesitating whether to make that important call again. Her brows furrowed, her lips involuntarily pursed, and she appeared extremely tense.
At that moment, a little bird landed beside her, pecking at the ground as if completely oblivious to Lin Mengmeng's presence. Lin Mengmeng's gaze shifted to the bird, watching its carefree demeanor, and a hint of envy surged in her heart.
She murmured softly to herself, "Perhaps, I am like this little bird, yearning for freedom and flight, yet afraid of losing the safety of my nest." Her voice carried a sense of helplessness and confusion.
After school, Lin Mengmeng returned home alone. She sat by the window in the study, staring blankly at the outside world. The room was filled with a heavy, oppressive silence, and even time seemed to freeze here.
She picked up the brochure introducing the Academy of Esoterics and flipped through it repeatedly. Every page depicted an unknown world, but to Lin Mengmeng, every word seemed to ask her, "Are you ready?"
Night falls, and Lin Mengmeng is still sitting there, her heart filled with contradictions. She is afraid of the challenges in the new environment, afraid of becoming the center of attention. Her introversion and social anxiety make her feel extremely difficult, but at the same time, she longs to understand her Esoteric, to explore this mysterious world.
Finally, in the late night, Lin Mengmeng made a decision. She picked up her phone and sent a brief message to the representative of the academy: "I need more time to think."
She put down her phone, took a deep breath, and felt her emotions slightly calming down. Lin Mengmeng knew that she wasn't ready to face this huge change. She needed time to sort out her thoughts and the courage to confront her inner fears.
Lin Mengmeng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, filled with struggle and uncertainty. But she knew that whatever the final decision might be, it would be an important step in her life. On this quiet night, Lin Mengmeng's soul was searching for answers, searching for her own path.
