In the final seven days before I left, I became the person my family wanted me to be.
I stopped competing and fighting back, and gave Jiang Shinian her way in everything.
When she wanted my work for a competition, I handed it over without protest.
When she wanted me to go out in a snowstorm, I wrapped a scarf around my neck and went.
At first, they all thought I’d come to my senses:
“You owed Shinian so much. It’s about time you started making it up to her!”
Later, when they saw how little I cared, they were confused:
“Xiaxia, why aren’t you making a fuss anymore?”
I curved my lips into a smile. “Isn’t this what you wanted?”
