Lin Xiang didn't know how to comfort Mrs. Lin, so she simply changed the topic.
"Mom, after the New Year, I'm going to school in town. Teacher Yu suggests that I stay in the dormitory to avoid the trouble of commuting. But after thinking it over, several people share a dorm room, conflicts are inevitable, which could affect my studies. So, I thought, how about I rent a room off-campus, and you move there with me?"
"Living in town?" Mrs. Lin frowned slightly, clearly a bit reluctant, "We just finished building our house, if we move to town, what about this house?"
"This house has its own charm. If it stays unoccupied for too long, even the best house will deteriorate."
Lin Xiang held her face in her hands, looking pitifully at Mrs. Lin, "Would you really bear to see me living all alone in town? Although the town's security is good, what if I encounter danger and there's no one to protect me? Mom, I really need you."
