The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

Huang Feipeng's heart tightened. He hadn't wanted his sister to get involved in these conflicts, but hearing her words, his emotions rose within him. "But they don't understand what I want to do at all! Every time I try to explain to them, it's just a useless argument!"

"But have you ever thought that you could try a different way to communicate with them?" The younger sister's voice was still gentle, but it carried a hint of determination. "They may not completely oppose your choice; they just want to know your true thoughts."

“I’ve tried!” Huang Feipeng’s voice rose involuntarily, his resentment barely contained. “But each time it ended in failure, or even made things worse.”

Anger and helplessness mingled within him, and the emotions he wanted to express turned into powerless cries. His thoughts surged, even bringing back memories of happy times with his family—warm family gatherings, laughter, and carefree days. However, it seemed that everything came to an abrupt end at that moment, turning into heavy shackles.

“Feipeng,” his sister’s voice softened as she tried to soothe him, “you know I will always support you, but you have to understand that communication is very important. If you don’t tell them your thoughts, how can they understand?”

He looked up, meeting his sister's eyes, a warmth rising in his heart. Despite his current predicament, his sister's concern was like a faint light in the darkness. He remained silent for a moment, his thoughts swirling, unsure how to express himself.

“I know you all care about me,” he finally said softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice, “but I really don’t know how to make them understand what I’m pursuing.”

“Then try telling them honestly, sharing your dreams and plans,” the sister encouraged. “They might be moved by your enthusiasm and gradually change their minds.”

Huang Feipeng pondered, and a vague hope began to emerge in his heart. He didn't want to give up his relationship with his family; after all, that kinship was the most precious thing in his heart. He knew that his feelings might sometimes affect his family, but he also longed for their understanding and support.

"I'll consider it," he finally said, his tone much gentler, his heart gradually calming down. He smiled slightly at his sister; although everything was still fraught with difficulties, at least this conversation had given him a touch of warmth.

“I knew you could do it,” my sister said with a smile, her eyes shining with satisfaction. “Just let me know if you need any help.”

Huang Feipeng nodded, deeply grateful. His sister always gave him strength in times like these, helping him to pull himself together. He hoped to find better ways to communicate with his family in the future and strive to break down those invisible barriers.

“I’m going to talk to my parents,” he suddenly said, a renewed sense of courage rising within him.

"Okay! I support you!" His sister's eyes were full of expectation, as if she was cheering him on.

Huang Feipeng turned and walked home, still nervous but also feeling a glimmer of anticipation for the upcoming conversation. He knew this might be the beginning of resolving everything. Although the future remained uncertain, he believed that if he was willing to try, he might find the answer that belonged to him.

Back home, Huang Feipeng took a deep breath, preparing for the conversation to come. He gently pushed open the door and saw his parents sitting in the living room, their faces still showing a hint of tension. Their eyes met his as he entered, and the atmosphere instantly became heavy.

"You're back." His mother's voice was slightly stiff, as if she was embarrassed to look him in the eye.

"Can we talk?" Huang Feipeng mustered his courage, his voice gentle yet firm. At this moment, he had decided to stop running away and bravely express his true feelings.

His parents exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise in their expressions. Then, his father nodded slightly, gesturing for him to sit down. Huang Feipeng felt a slight sense of relief; finally, he had the opportunity to share his thoughts.

He sat down, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "I know you've all been worried about me, but I hope you can understand what I'm pursuing. What I want to do isn't a random choice, but the life I truly yearn for in my heart."

In that moment, Huang Feipeng felt a sense of relief, as if the heavy burden on his heart was gradually dissipating. He tried his best to express his thoughts in a calm tone, telling his parents about his dreams and plans for the future. He hoped to convey this dedication and passion to his parents, letting them see the light in his eyes.

"I don't want to give up my family's care and support, but I hope to pursue my own dreams even more." He raised his head, looking firmly at his parents, his heart filled with courage and expectation.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, but the parents' expressions gradually softened from their initial tension, as if they had caught a trace of understanding and empathy in his words.

“We’ve always worried that you’d go down the wrong path,” the father finally spoke, his tone tinged with helplessness. “We want you to have a stable life.”

“I understand,” Huang Feipeng replied softly, feeling a warmth in his heart. He knew his parents’ worries stemmed from their love for him, but they also hoped to show them the dreams in his eyes. He tried to remain calm and continued, “But there’s more than one path in life. I want to explore and pursue what’s important to me.”

A flicker of hesitation crossed his mother's eyes, as if she were considering his words. Huang Feipeng waited quietly, silently praying, hoping to feel the warmth and support of his family.

"We hope you can be happy," the mother finally said softly, her voice filled with gentle concern. "But remember, whatever you choose, we will be by your side."

Huang Feipeng felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes. He knew that these words carried boundless love and understanding, like a ray of light illuminating his path forward.

Huang Feipeng sat on the sofa, his heart filled with complex emotions. His parents' understanding and support warmed his heart, but communication with them hadn't completely dispelled his inner conflict. At that moment, his mind kept replaying his promise to the woman—they were about to embark on an unknown journey together—a promise that seemed to starkly contrast with his family's expectations.

"I really want to pursue that path, but my family is a bond I can't sever," he murmured to himself, his heart filled with struggle. He knew that if he decided to leave, his parents' disappointment and worry would accompany him for the rest of his life, but if he chose to stay, he would lose the opportunity to pursue his dream.
