Chapter 2 Oak Branches
So many years have passed.
Yu Weiyou could never forget that scene.
That was the image of her only friend leaving her.
Life and death, separation.
When she was very young, Yu Weiyou was just as unpopular as she is now.
"Hahaha! I never thought a wild girl would want to be a fashion designer or model!" The one who spoke was the delinquent girl.
"That's right, they have absolutely no self-awareness. Even kids from ordinary families like ours rarely have such lofty fantasies."
"I really don't know what you're so self-righteous about."
Thump.
A fist slammed into Yu Weiyou's head.
“Let me wake her up,” the delinquent girl said.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"..."
Yu Weiyou closed her eyes tightly without saying a word.
Perhaps such a dream was indeed unrealistic, but she didn't give up. Her personality was probably naturally stubborn, almost obsessive. She absolutely had to stick with what she loved. She was determined to show them! She was determined to persevere!
Surprisingly, Yu Weiyou consistently achieved good results in various exams, surpassing many other students.
However, in welfare facilities, good grades are not an advantage for orphans. Not only do they not receive special attention from teachers, but their classmates also constantly ridicule them for the same reasons. It seems she has been a laughing stock from the very beginning.
"It's okay, Wei You has already tried her best! That's enough, right?" The voice came from a sweet girl who even squinted her eyes when she laughed!
"My name is Li Rong! To be honest, I really admire you, Wei You! I wish I could be as determined as you, but in the end I can't do anything..." Li Rong sighed as she spoke.
From then on, their relationship improved.
Yu Weiyou started tutoring Li Rong frequently, but each time it ended in failure. Li Rong would still be punished by standing by the podium and having her face slapped with a report card by the teacher in front of everyone in the class.
Perhaps because she's too stupid, no one plays with Li Rong, and even the local thugs don't bother to order her around. She doesn't do things well, and if you hit her, she'll just laugh stupidly in response, so there's no fun in bullying her.
After Li Rong was made to stand as punishment until the end of get out of class, she would trot over from the podium and say to Yu Weiyou, "Sorry, I think I messed up again, haha."
Perhaps it was because she was always smiling that Yu Weiyou thought she was very open-minded. Before the holidays, when other children were picked up by their families, many welfare children would secretly wipe away tears, but even then she would smile cheerfully and say, "Weiyou and I will definitely be able to leave here one day and live in the outside world together, right!"
It was around that time that they made a pact to go out and explore together after they came of age.
For many years, the gentle and cheerful Li Rong was a great pillar of Yu Weiyou's life. However, Yu Weiyou only realized many years later that Li Rong was never strong at all.
While the school was processing Li Rong's belongings, Yu Weiyou secretly took away Li Rong's thick and precious diary.
This was the first time she had truly opened up Li Rong's heart.
