"I want to live downstairs, not on the second floor."
Madam Xue asked in confusion, "Why don't you want to live on the second floor?"
I replied, "I heard the dean say that the room on the second floor belongs to your biological daughter, and it still has many of her things. I'm afraid that if I live there and accidentally damage her belongings, it would make you sad."
Madam Xue's eyes turned red, and she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes. "It won't be a problem; I've put those things away."
Xue Ming, who had been silent, came to my rescue: "Mom, let’s arrange for her to stay on the first floor."
I looked at Xue Ming, who spoke up for me. He understood very well why I was reluctant to stay on the second floor. In my past life, I had once jokingly said that I liked boys like Xue Ming. That statement would later become evidence against me when I drugged my own brother. Xue Ming had hated me for many years.
That night, as I slept, I dreamed of events from my previous life. I dreamt of the second child I had after marrying Xue Ming, a child I had given up. I filed for divorce.
Startled awake from the dream, I sat up. The moonlight outside was bright, illuminating the room. I hugged my blanket and stared blankly at the floor.
The door was pushed open, and Xue Ming walked in. He closed the door and approached the bedside. "I heard you crying; are you okay?" he asked.
I shook my head and remained silent. He didn’t press further but walked to the door and turned back to say, "Hurry up and get up for breakfast; otherwise, you'll be late for school."
The next day, the Xue Family transferred me to the same school as Xue Ming. He stood at the classroom door, waving at me.
As I approached, he stood before the class and said, "This is the girl staying with my family."
I was momentarily taken aback. The term "staying" was his own addition. The Xue Family had publicly claimed that I was transferring to recuperate due to my poor health.
I couldn't shake the feeling that Xue Ming was different from the Xue Ming I remembered. He wasn't like the boy from my past life, nor was he like the Xue Ming I later came to know.
Just as I was about to ask him something, Lin Shuqin suddenly walked over. She glanced at me and then tugged at Xue Ming's sleeve. "A Ming, wait for me after school. I need to talk to you."
Xue Ming frowned and subtly pulled her hand away. "If there's something to say, you can say it now."
Lin Shuqin bit her lip and shot me a glare. "What I want to tell you is about us; don’t let her know."
With that, Lin Shuqin turned and walked away. Xue Ming looked at me with an apologetic expression. "I have to go now; the driver will pick you up after school."
I watched as Xue Ming's figure disappeared down the hallway, feeling a bit puzzled. Wasn't Lin Shuqin his fiancée? Hadn't she always liked him? Why did she look at me with such hostility?
In my past life, Lin Shuqin had brought me into her social circle, and we had become close friends who shared everything.
She discovered my feelings for Xue Ming even earlier than I did, and she whispered sweet nothings into his ear on my behalf.
I always thought I was Lin Shuqin's best friend, without a doubt.
But when I brought her medicine and went to the hotel to find her, she cried and said, "Xue Ming is my brother; how could I drug him?"
At that moment, I tasted the bitterness of betrayal for the first time.
Xue Ming hated me, and Lin Shuqin betrayed me.
I lost everything.
This life of Lin Shuqin is very different from the last.
She no longer took me to any gatherings, nor did she introduce me to anyone around her.
She still met and dated Xue Ming frequently, but she never brought me along.
In class, I could feel Lin Shuqin glancing back at me repeatedly.
But I didn't want to acknowledge her, so I pretended not to see.
In my previous life, I was too foolish and let myself be manipulated.
This time, I wouldn't let a man drive a wedge between me and anyone else.
The Xue family treated me well; I couldn't take their kindness for granted, so I remained cautious in everything I did.
But I never expected studying to be this difficult.
As I flipped through the math problems in my hands, I found them completely incomprehensible.
