She Doesn't Lie Anymore

[Rebellious school bully × girl with bone cancer | Ultimate bad ending | Saving each other]

“Jin Ye, you have to live well, for both of us.”

Jin Ye used to be top of his class, the pride of an academic family.

Then his father's affair and his mother's death dealt him a double blow, sending him into a downward spiral until he became the “big boss” everyone feared.

Then one day, a pale, frail girl named Xu Siyao transferred into the desk in front of him.

Everyone expected a joke, but no one could have imagined...

“If it hurts, bite me. Don't hold it in.” He let her bite his arm as she endured the excruciating pain of a bone cancer attack.

“Jin Ye, you have to get into college.” She tutored him while coughing up blood.

“Jin Ye, let's both get into college together, okay?” They made that promise to each other.

“Xu Siyao, if you die, I'll go with you!” On graduation day, he clutched her growing-cold body and screamed like a madman.

That midsummer, cheers rang across campus as the college entrance exams ended. But his girl was destined to remain eighteen forever.

“Yaoyao, you lied to me... You said we'd go to college together.”
