The boy who came toward me against the light was like a prince straight out of a comic. For all four years of college, he filled my life with every beautiful thing.
He sheltered me from the storms, strolled with me through a campus blooming with wildflowers, and kissed me.
But as the truth gradually came to light, he said to me, “Who’s the liar? Cheng Xin, don’t you know why you’re with me? You wanted to use my influence at school to avoid getting bullied. Wasn’t there even a little self-interest in being with me?!”
So that was how he had always seen me. Watching him walk away without looking back, I thought we were over for good.
Who could have guessed that a few months later, at his engagement party, he would see me lying at his feet, bleeding profusely, and scream at the people around him like a madman? I saw him trembling with fear.
