During our sophomore year of high school, the underprivileged student my childhood friend had been sponsoring transferred to our school.
She was plain, rustic, and awkward, yet her eyes carefully concealed a crush on Xiao Yunzhou.
Everyone at school mocked her for her wishful thinking, and they warned me with heavy hearts:
“Huaishan, you’d better be careful. Having Wei Xiaoyun stick to Xiao Yunzhou is like getting a piece of gum caught in your hair-you’ll never get rid of her.”
“Having someone like that hovering around your childhood friend every day is honestly disgusting.”
“Exactly, Huaishan. It’s not the thief you should fear, but the one who’s always watching. Sooner or later, you’re going to suffer at Wei Xiaoyun’s hands.”
