Particularly like her?
Zhuang Nainai was stunned by the question.
Then she smiled self-mockingly.
How was it possible that… he particularly liked her?
His liking for her during their high school days had been to placate her… and five years later, had he really liked her?
She narrowed her eyes and lowered her head, the smile on her lips melting into bitterness. The memories she had kept deep in her heart were now being dug out.
When her mother had gotten into a car accident and when she had realized that it was the doing of Ding Mengya, she had called Si Zhengting many times. But he had never picked up.
She had been prepared to look for him, but she hadn’t wanted to see Ding Mengya. Confused and helpless, she had been left to face it alone.
After all, she had only been 18 years old. She had been utterly shaken when the accident had happened.
And then, what had happened next?
She had tarried between home and hospital, taking care of her mother. It was then that she’d rapidly become skinny.
She had gone through all of this… and the day for college applications had come.
She had gotten to school early in the morning because she expected him to be in school as well. She had waited for him in the classroom like an idiot, but even by the time all of her other classmates had arrived, he had not appeared.
Zhuang Nainai’s heart had grown colder and colder; yet, even when their teacher had come around giving out the college application forms, she had still persisted with the dream that they had agreed upon together.
They had made a pact to attend the same university together. It was because of this aspiration that she had worked especially hard in her last year of high school and only missed getting the same grade as him by a few marks.
She had stared at the form, suddenly unsure of what to fill in.
She had simply sat there and stared at the people in the class.
She had called him, but he still hadn’t picked up. She had then called Su Yanbin, who answered quickly.
“Wow, are you calling me out of concern?”
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t be bothered to humor him. She had said, “Why are all of you absent?”
Su Yanbin had mumbled, then finally said, “People like us would have filled in and handed up our applications a long time ago! I’ve got to go, bye!”
Without waiting for her reply, he had put down the phone.
All of a sudden, Zhuang Nainai had realized that she had no way of locating Si Zhengting.
She had tried to call Si Zhengting once more, but he had switched off his cell phone.
The college application process had morning and afternoon sessions, and everyone had only needed to hand the forms in by six in the evening. In the afternoon, she had made her way to the canteen for lunch by herself, and her lonesome figure had drawn comments from her classmates.
“As I was saying, how can someone like Si Zhengting actually get together with her?”
“He promised to apply for college together, but well, see what’s happened? No matter what sort of things have happened, look at how it’s all ended! She’s gotten herself ditched.”
“Hey, stop it. She’s pitiful enough already.”
Everyone’s comments had made her want to dig a hole and hide herself.
For all that she had been, she had her own dignity.
They had agreed to submit their college applications together, but now, he had ignored her. The addition of the issue with Ding Mengya angered her even further, and she had then abandoned her lunch to go look for Si Zhengting. She had wanted to ask him what exactly was going on!
Just as she had stepped out of the school gate, and just as she was about to go wait for the public, she spotted a red Lamborghini pulling up in front of the school gate. Wearing a bright red dress, Zuo Yiyi had stepped out of the car.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes had brightened. Even though they had been at odds, at this point in time, Zhuang Nainai had to say that Zuo Yiyi indeed looked cute!
