An arrogant science-track top student x a sweet, sensitive arts student
When Wen Hui first started middle school, she was an angsty teenager. She thought she'd make a big splash over the next three years, but the brilliant students around her knocked her flat, and she vanished without a trace.
Ji Wen was the top student in his grade and always a big name at school. Even years after graduation, his classmates still talked about him.
The year after graduation, Wen Hui heard how Ji Wen was doing and learned that he was thriving: successful in business and accomplished at a young age.
Fresh out of college, Wen Hui was earning just over two thousand yuan at her internship. Green with envy, and wanting to get back at him, she sent him a pretentious quote: "No one will help me reach the clouds, so I'll climb the snowy peak on my own!"
The following year, an old classmate brought news that the favored son of fortune had fallen from grace and was drowning in debt.
Wen Hui thought it over, then sent him the same message: "No one will help you reach the clouds. I've already crossed the snow and reached the peak!" ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ
Naturally, such an annoying message sank without a trace...
The third year, no news about him came from her old classmates.
Wen Hui had changed jobs, and exhaustion from her new position left her with no energy to keep up with her old classmates.
A year after starting her new job, Wen Hui was shocked to discover that her former classmate had become her boss!
Wasn't he supposed to have failed in business and be buried in debt? Why did he look so successful and full of confidence?
So you really did climb the snowy peak all on your own!!!
Old classmate, how did you end up doing so well! (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )
When that message arrived, Ji Wen thought of Wen Hui, the old classmate who always got under his skin. In despair, he read the message again and again, gradually recalling her smug smile back in middle school.
When you're riding high, everyone sucks up to you. When you hit rock bottom, nobody cares.
Even an old classmate had come to kick him while he was down.
Ji Wen wiped away his tears and left the dark room. Reverse psychology was simple, but it worked.
A light-year is a unit of distance. When a beam of light crosses the stars, you see a barren planet. By the time you make the arduous journey to reach it, the planet may be covered in flowers.
No one knows what the future holds. Why not be a little braver?
