In high school, I secretly loved the school belle who sat beside me.
My family was poor, so I worked part-time for an entire year to buy her a gift.
The day my father was in a car accident, I heard her talking to a friend:
"This cheap necklace isn't fit for me to wear. Even my dog's leash costs more."
Her friends laughed without restraint. "We know you're a little princess from a rich family and wouldn't want something like this. Why not give it to me? I can sell it and buy a few cups of milk tea."
"Take it, then."
As Jiang Pan tossed the necklace away, she spotted me standing nearby.
