On the afternoon Qu Wanxing transferred to the county high school, she met Ye Fan for the first time.
In the homeroom teacher's office, Ye Fan pleaded earnestly: "Teacher, my mom left after the divorce, and my dad died. I really need the financial aid."
But once they were out of the office, Ye Fan was surrounded by her unsavory friends and said, "Our homeroom teacher is so gullible. She actually believed me."
So she was a liar.
Later, Qu Wanxing ran into Ye Fan at a pharmacy.
The girl, dressed only in her thin school uniform, tried to scrape together enough money at the medicine counter, but still came up short.
Qu Wanxing paid for the medicine.
Ye Fan looked up at her. "Thanks. I'll pay you back next time."
Ye Fan's gratitude came swiftly and fiercely.
She brought Qu Wanxing hot breakfasts, insisted on giving her the cutest stuffed toy when they were selling things at a street stall, and stood in front of her when thugs gave her trouble.
Maybe Ye Fan wasn't... so bad after all.
Until Qu Wanxing saw Ye Fan beat a man until he was bloody and battered.
Only then did Qu Wanxing learn that the man was Ye Fan's father, and that he had stolen the money meant for Ye Fan's younger sister's medical treatment.
As she carried Ye Fan to the hospital, the girl's voice was faint:
"Qu Wanxing."
"Yeah?"
"Don't pity me."
Qu Wanxing was silent for a long time before answering, "I don't pity you."
"I love you."
