As beautiful as my mother

  Here is the translation:

  She's as beautiful as my mom. Tian'ai Auntie is a really good person, she saw that I didn't want to talk about it and stopped asking. She smiled at me with warm and bright eyes, making me feel a bit dazed. "What are you looking at?" Her voice was also very pleasant to listen to. "You're really beautiful." I said sincerely, "Just like my mom." "Do you still remember your mom?" Tian'ai Auntie asked, putting her arm around my shoulder. "I only remember the photo on my bedside table." I said softly, "My memories before I was two years old are all blank." Tian'ai Auntie didn't say anything else, just hugged me a bit tighter. I liked the feeling of being in her arms and felt some inexplicable attachment to her.

  Guan Sha is such an ungrateful kid, he always talks to his mom in a rough tone, and when she shows concern for him, he acts like he's annoyed. He really doesn't know how lucky he is! I smelled the faint fragrance on Tian'ai Auntie's body and felt a bit dizzy as I said, "I'll try to get along with Guan Sha from now on." "Don't bother, silly," Tian'ai Auntie said, "it's normal for siblings to fight, don't take it to heart." But for Tian'ai Auntie's sake, I decided to be more considerate of Guan Sha. Or maybe it was for Dad's sake. I really didn't want Dad to be unhappy.

  During dinner, I intentionally told them a joke that Zi Feng had told me to lighten the mood. Dad and Tian'ai Auntie both laughed heartily, and Guan Sha was clearly trying not to laugh. Dad looked at me with some relief, and I smiled back at him. The evening wind blew in through the window, and I took a deep breath, starting to believe what Zi Feng had said - that taking a step back can make the world feel more spacious.

  I told Xia Xiao that I really enjoyed chatting with Zi Feng online, and she turned her head away in annoyance. She didn't like me going online at all, always saying that people on the internet were all scammers who couldn't be trusted. But I knew the real reason was because she had been cheated by someone online before - she had spent dozens of yuan taking a net friend out for KFC, and then the person disappeared.

  Xia Xiao said to me with a tone of experience, "You should cherish the friendships you have in real life, look at me, I'm always accompanying you to school and back, isn't that great?" "That's not contradictory at all!" I hugged her and said, "You're my closest friend, and that's something that will never change!" "Just don't get too close to net friends," Xia Xiao said, "or the beauty of it will be lost." "Don't worry," I reassured her, "he's in Northeast China, we won't have an easy time meeting up even if we want to."

  "Would you meet him if you had the chance?" Xia Xiao asked. "Maybe," I said, "I think that's not a big deal." "Is he handsome?" Xia Xiao interrogated me. "Uh-huh," I said, "he seems like an interesting guy anyway." "People who are interesting online are often boring in real life, that's just how it is," Xia Xiao concluded.
