When the college entrance exam results came out, my boyfriend was admitted to the Capital Institute of Diplomatic Relations.
His foster sister, the campus belle, hadn't gotten into college, so his parents sent her abroad to study.
To commemorate his foster sister, he copied what other people did and let her bite a tooth-mark scar into his collarbone.
When I heard the news, I rushed over to stop them.
"Lin Zihao! You can't pass the medical exam for the Institute of Diplomatic Relations if you have a scar on your body!"
His foster sister's eyes reddened. "Sister Yusheng, I know you think I stole your brother's attention from you."
"But I promise this is the last thing. I'm going abroad next week, and after that, I won't see your brother again."
She wept so pitifully, her face streaked with tears.
My boyfriend's heart ached for her. He immediately shook off my hand and pulled down his collar so she could bite him.
I did everything I could to reason with him for the sake of his future, even calling his parents over. Only then did they finally give up.
That night, his foster sister was so angry that she swallowed sleeping pills, leaving behind a note: [I'll never bother you and your brother again.]
My boyfriend burst into my home like a madman and smothered me to death.
My parents took money from his family and falsely claimed that I had died after taking too many sleeping pills.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my boyfriend and his foster sister wanted to leave a scar.
