Lin Xia listened to me calmly.

"Lin Qiu, you're too naive. I never intended to continue competing with you for this body."

I widened my eyes and shook my head, saying, "Your parents don't think the same way."

Lin Xia smiled bitterly, "If they really cared about me, how could you have had the chance to harm me?"

I seemed to suddenly understand, yet I still had some confusion.

Lin Xia laughed dryly, "That morning, that damn morning, I heard them say that you were much better than me in your studies. They would decide who would stay and who would leave after the college entrance examination."

My heart trembled violently.

So that's how it was.

It turns out they weren't too busy to accompany their daughter to the hospital.

Instead, they were calculating shrewdly how to have a more perfect daughter.

Lin Xia, how pitiful.

She had never truly been loved by anyone.

My lips trembled, but I could never utter the three words "I'm sorry."

I always thought I was the person who understood her the most in the world.

I always thought I owed her a great deal.

In the end, it was I who hurt her the most deeply.

Lin Xia seemed to understand my guilt and she smiled indifferently.

"Actually, you don't need to apologize. If it weren't for you, I would be worse off."

I shook my head, wanting to tell her that it wasn't true, that I knew how wonderful of a girl she was.

But she didn't let me speak. "Xiao Qiu, I'm leaving. I hope you can live on in my place and live a good, good life~"
