As a child. Someone once asked her which one she should choose.
"Money or brother, which one do you want?"
She replied without thinking: "Of course it's money!"
Such a realistic answer is completely unmatched by that childish voice.
In high school.
She once again left him behind in the multiple-choice question.
"Well──going to a foreign country is indeed a good choice."
"What do you want to say?"
"Li Rixu, go to a foreign country with her."
There was silence.
"Go to a foreign country with her. Besides, mom probably won't be able to support you anymore." She repeated, afraid that he wouldn't hear.
"I can work part-time."
"Li Rixu, there is a better road in front of you, how come you still don't know how to take it?"
"How much did it cost to convince me to go to a foreign country?"
"This is not something you need to know. You went to a foreign country, which is also a good thing for mom, you and that rich girl."
"What about you? Is it also a good thing for you?"
Silence.
"Yes. My mother doesn't have to work so hard anymore, and I will be happier. Without you, I don't have to be compared with you. Ever since I was a child, you have always been outstanding. Sometimes, I still feel unwilling to give in."
"Are you saying this to make me feel like a burden? Will the world be a better place as long as I'm not around?"
"I don't mind if you want to interpret it that way."
After hearing this, he sneered.
"Okay. I'll go." After saying this neatly, he turned around and left.
In the end, he was left behind.
Five years later.
He's back.
She thought that this time, the one left behind should be herself.
