The year I was in debt of 800,000 yuan, I stood at the counter at Jiangcheng Shopping Mall.
My former high school classmate and top grader showed up on time every night.
I said, "My debt has nothing to do with you. We are not on the same road."
He said: "Whatever has to do with you, has to do with me."
I thought he was just soft-hearted.
Until the creditor found my uncle's law firm, the first thing I did was to push him away.
On that rainy night, he was soaked to the skin, his eyes were red, and he spoke word by word:
"Lin Xiao, you want to push me away unless I die."
Then he really left.
I thought he finally figured it out.
It wasn't until two years later that I saw a line of tiny words in the corner of his competition design drawing——
"To L. X."
——It turns out he never left.
He just changed his approach and stood behind me.
