I went into temporary shock because of an allergic reaction.
But the two childhood friends I grew up with didn't even spare me a glance.
One was carrying all sorts of gifts for Shen Wei'an, while the other was busy taking photos of her at a popular Instagram spot.
It was a kind passerby who called 120 and got me to the hospital, saving my life.
The next day, Shen Wei'an called me, sounding rather smug.
“Big Sis Tangtang, Brother Ziwen and Brother Yanheng were so tired after taking me shopping yesterday. I heard you threw a tantrum and wound up in the hospital. Should I come visit you?”
I replied bluntly, “No need.”
Tang Ziwen, Gu Yanheng, and I grew up together. They used to cherish me more than life itself, promising to pluck the stars and moon for me and swearing to protect me forever.
But ever since Shen Wei'an came along, I was no longer the one they held dearest.
After thinking it over, I called my mother.
“Mom, I'm willing to accept the arranged marriage.”
