On the way to the college entrance exam, my childhood friend suddenly suffered a heart attack.
I gave up the exam without hesitation to save him.
I signed the consent form for his heart transplant.
On the day the results were posted, I lay dying in a hospital bed.
Then I unexpectedly heard him making a bet with his friend.
"I win this round. Gu Ning really is such a pathetic simp. She gave up the exam for me, so the spot at Qingjiang University can only go to Qingqing."
"Young Master Huo, faking an illness to pave the way for your first love was a brilliant move."
"Getting into Qingjiang University is Qingqing's dream. I won't let anyone stand in her way."
Another friend couldn't bear it. "You and Gu Ning grew up together, at least. She gave you her heart, and now her whole life is ruined."
Huo Yanming's voice was as cold as ice. "She was just a little beggar. If the Huo family hadn't taken her in, she'd have starved to death on the street. If her heart hadn't been a match for mine, I wouldn't have bothered pretending we were childhood sweethearts!"
The day Xie Qingqing received her acceptance letter, Huo Yanming threw her a celebration banquet.
And I died in my hospital bed from complications after the heart transplant.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I was heading to the exam.
Given another life, I was going to take the exam and live for myself, no matter what.
But I never expected Huo Yanming to really suffer a heart attack on the day the results came out, leaving him on the brink of death.
I looked at his agonized expression and smiled calmly.
"Young Master Huo, have you gotten so hooked on pretending to be sick?"
