When we filled out our college applications after the national entrance exam, my girlfriend and our classmates got into the aerospace university they'd always dreamed of attending.
To celebrate, my girlfriend's childhood sweetheart takes her and their classmates to get tattoos at the shop her family owns.
I take my girlfriend's hand and kindly remind her that the flight technology program doesn't allow tattoos.
But she slaps me hard, and the classmates around us mock me. "Lu Yan, how can you be so shameless? Ying and Lin Teng are the ones who grew up together. You're just jealous and don't want us getting tattoos at his shop!"
I'm so furious I nearly faint, but I still drag my girlfriend away for the sake of her future.
I never expect that the next day, her childhood sweetheart will sneak over with two buckets of gasoline and set the building on fire, burning me and my parents alive inside.
My girlfriend and our classmates even help him evade suspicion by fabricating an alibi for him.
When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day my girlfriend and her childhood sweetheart went into the tattoo shop.
My girlfriend coldly pulls her hand away from mine. Her scolding voice rings in my ears. "Lu Yan, you're just jealous because Lin Teng and I are close, aren't you? Well, I'm not only getting a tattoo with him, I'm getting his name tattooed on me."
This time, I smile at her.
"Go ahead. Better get the name somewhere people can see it."
