February 8, 2023. A little cold.
After I returned from your world in Spy x Family, Mom and Dad kept arguing. That evening, I urged Mom to divorce Dad.
February 9, 2023. Decent weather.
Mom and Dad decided to divorce today. They asked who I wanted to stay with, and I chose Mom, because Dad could protect himself, while I needed to protect Mom.
February 10, 2023. Sunny.
Mom and Dad officially divorced, and we sold the house.
Mom and I went our separate way from Dad. Mom wanted to change my name, and she said she would never marry again.
From now on, she would live with just me and have me take her surname.
Mom's surname was Sikong. She picked out lots of nice names for me, but in the end, I decided to choose one myself: Richie. Sikong Richie.
February 11, 2023. Beautiful weather.
Mom and I moved into a new house, and she arranged for me to transfer schools.
July 26, 2033. Gorgeous weather.
Today, I received my acceptance letter from Trade and Economics University, for the international economics and trade program. I was so happy.
September 1, 2033. Pouring rain.
I never expected to get soaked to the skin on my very first day of university. So annoying.
The excerpts above were taken from "Richie's Diary."
After the military training for first-year students, Richie hadn't gotten any darker. Instead, he had grown a few shades fairer.
The reason was that Richie's mother called him every day and forced him to put on sunscreen.
Richie's mother was a sucker for good looks. She had always found her son handsome and pleasing to the eye.
What if he accidentally got a tan during military training and wasn't good-looking anymore, no longer a feast for the eyes?
