Chapter 7

My acquaintance with the three of them dates back to the day I entered university.

I enrolled in the Art Department of Renwen University last September.

To be honest, my college entrance exam scores were quite good, far exceeding the requirements of this third-rate university.

However, because they had a special quota for outstanding students, I received one. Not only did it waive my tuition, but more importantly, I also received an extra stipend of five thousand yuan each semester.

This was undoubtedly a huge attraction for me and my family.

My father is disabled and can only rely on his hands to earn a living for the family.

My mother suffers from a mental disorder and has been confined at home for years, unable to go out.

Choosing this university allowed me to greatly reduce the burden on my family.

The admissions teacher who handled my enrollment was Teacher Zhang. From filling out my application to entering the university, she guided me every step of the way.

At first, I lived in a dormitory with three other girls from my year.

On the day of registration, after completing the procedures and settling into the dorm, I was filled with anticipation for university life.

Seeing many clubs recruiting members on the sports field, I was just about to walk over when Teacher Zhang grabbed me.

“Ji Xia, you were a dance student in high school. Now that you’re in university, don’t slack off. I’ll recommend a good club for you-it’s perfect for you. If you can successfully join, you can live on the club’s second floor and your accommodation fee will be waived.”

I trusted Teacher Zhang, who had helped me so much, completely. Hearing her words, my eyes lit up instantly.

“Thank you, Teacher Zhang. I’ll study hard and never let you down.”

I naively promised her, not noticing the guilty smile on her face.

At that time, I didn’t know that the pie falling from the sky is never free.

The price of this “pie” would be something I’d have to pay with the rest of my life.
