"I heard from one of Shi Nan's classmates that Qiu Liqi from the next class confessed to Shi Nan, but Shi Nan liked Sun Yingning and even wrote her love letters. What's even funnier is that Qiu Liqi and Sun Yingning are actually good friends!"
"Wow, this is so shocking! Qiu Liqi is so pitiful, she looks like a fool."
"This is absolutely amazing, it feels like a great show..."
Two girls were chatting in the girls' restroom, tidying their bangs and stray hairs in front of the mirror, before leaving hand in hand.
Inside the cubicle, Qiu Liqi pushed open the door and came out, her face gloomy.
-
Sun Yingning vaguely realized that Qiu Liqi, who was in a different class, was drifting further and further away from her, and that she had other close friends, such as Xie Fangfang and Lin Tian.
The way they looked at me wasn't exactly kind.
-
"Liqi, my idol is having a concert at the City Theater Center this Saturday! I bought two tickets, want to go together?"
Concert tickets are expensive. In order to have the opportunity to get close to her idol, she saved up her pocket money by eating frugally and worked part-time. Finally, she saved enough money to buy two concert tickets.
Although it was a bit far from the stage, I went with my best friend because I was so happy to see the people I liked so soon. It was a joy that was hard to describe.
As Sun Yingning thought this, her heart pounded with excitement.
Qiu Liqi took the concert tickets from Sun Yingning, which were wrapped in a pretty envelope, and put them in her bag: "Ningning, you're treating me to a concert, so I'll take you to pick out some nice clothes the night before."
"Is this... alright?"
"Of course! It's settled then. Wait for me at the sports equipment warehouse on Friday afternoon. We have PE class that day, and I'll be responsible for collecting all the sports equipment back to the warehouse, so please wait for me there."
"Okay!"
Sun Yingning nodded expectantly.
Her eyes, though not large, were filled with the brilliance of stars, crystal clear and bright.
Her short hair fluttered in the wind, and her soft-featured face exuded a peaceful and well-behaved aura.
Sun Yingning is going to work part-time at a small shop outside the school.
The two walked in opposite directions.
"Qiu Liqi! Aren't you living too well? Look at Ying Ning, her family is just average, and she can't compare to you in terms of food and clothing, but her grades are way ahead of yours. Aren't you ashamed!"
"My biggest regret is not handing you over to your dad! You need to reflect on your actions. Come back to me when you're willing to work hard and make things less of a worry for me!"
"You won't get a single penny of the Liang family's money, I'm telling you!"
On her way home, Qiu Liqi became increasingly agitated. She roughly unzipped her backpack, grabbed the envelope and ticket, tore them to shreds, and threw them into a trash can on the street.
I didn't even glance at it again.
-
Friday night was cold and long.
The corridor lights in the sports equipment warehouse have broken down.
Sun Yingning waited from school until dark, but Qiu Liqi didn't show up. During this time, Xie Fangfang came to deliver a message saying that several basketballs had been borrowed by students from other classes, and Qiu Liqi was going to get them back, so it might be a little late.
They said later, later...
Sun Yingning just waited like that.
Until a chill ran down my spine, my feet felt as if they were immersed in icy water, completely cold.
She was shivering, stamping her feet and shaking her legs to keep warm.
Sun Yingning wanted to go out and see if Qiu Liqi had arrived. Suddenly, the iron door of the warehouse slammed shut.
Sun Yingning panicked immediately. She rushed over and pounded heavily on the thick, rusty iron door. "Is anyone there? There are still people in the equipment room! There are still people inside! Someone, please open the door! Is anyone there—"
His palms were stained with large patches of embroidered color, which looked like rusty blood spreading and overflowing in the darkness.
