I Can See Prompts and Success Rates

With only a little over ten days left until the Spring Festival, my friend, do you have enough money in your pocket to go home and enjoy the New Year?

Li Younian, a miserable food delivery guy, stared at the pitiful balance in his WeChat account on his secondhand phone with a cracked screen, his feelings in turmoil.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. The New Year was just a few days away, and Li Younian, a recent college graduate who had settled in a major city, was still just another struggling nobody. The holiday was approaching, yet he couldn't even scrape together a thousand yuan.

At the start of the year, he'd worked at an electronics factory, but he couldn't stand the dull, repetitive routine and quit before he'd even completed a month.

After that, he started delivering food. He couldn't exactly say he'd made money this year; he'd barely managed to stay afloat.

The sky-high rent in the big city swallowed up most of his wages. As the New Year drew near, he was still wondering whether to go home. Looking at how little he'd accomplished, he felt he had no face to show there.

Meanwhile, his mother back home had already messaged him.

"Son, when are you coming home for New Year? I haven't seen you in a whole year, and I miss you so much. Your dad and sister miss you, too."

Seeing the message from his mother, Li Younian felt as if a lump were stuck in his throat. He suddenly realized just how useless and helpless he was.

After two or three years of struggling on his own, he still had almost no savings. Sometimes his family even had to send him money. He couldn't bring himself to go home for New Year.
