The next day, I had a high fever.

For no apparent reason.

My roommate brought me cold medicine, and by evening, my fever had subsided.

My roommate touched my forehead, "Strange, you didn't get caught in the rain, so why did you have a fever?"

"Could it be that you caught a chill? Try drinking some ginger tea?"

My roommate forced me to drink a large cup of ginger tea, and surprisingly, my fever really went down.

But in my heart, there was still bitterness.

It's hard to let go, how can I let go?

It wasn't me who took away the person Chen Guoxing relied on, leaving Chen Xinxin and her mother with no one, but in the crucial last half year of high school, it was me who endured bullying and fear every day while doing exam papers.

By this time, my brother said, "It's even now."

I sat in front of the coffee shop's glass window, feeling so wronged for a moment.

"Is this book really that hard to understand?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside me.

I looked up and saw it was Song Kezhi.

I quickly turned to the side, "Teacher Song."

Song Kezhi sat next to me, casually took the book in front of me and flipped through it, "Is this book really that hard to understand? I've been watching you for a while, you've been staring at the book blankly, not even turning the pages."

I shook my head, "It's not because of the book."

Song Kezhi became interested, "Then what is it?"

I thought for a moment and said, "Once a person has a partner, will their personality change? Even with family, will they gradually become estranged?"

Upon hearing this, Song Kezhi nodded, "It's more or less true, but not absolute."

"Are you facing some problems?"

I sighed deeply, "My brother used to be very good to me, but now he likes someone I dislike, someone who used to bully me."

Song Kezhi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics of what happened, but I want to advise you, no matter who it is, don't interfere too much in the lives of family or friends, especially in their emotional lives. Your brother is an adult and surely has his own judgment."

I listened to Song Kezhi's words and nodded.
