Later, I caught a severe cold. Yan Chengcheng fed me medicine while complaining, "You brought this upon yourself, didn't you?"
I took a sip of the medicine and suddenly grabbed her hand. "I wish you were my sister."
Yan Chengcheng paused for a moment, biting her lip. "But I am your sister."
"No," I shook my head. "What I mean is, if my mother had given birth to you, perhaps..."
I didn't finish my sentence, but Yan Chengcheng seemed to understand.
She smiled softly. "Unfortunately, I'm not."
I looked at her. "Will you always stay by my side?"
"Of course." Yan Chengcheng smiled again. "I'll always be with you, unless one day you no longer need me."
I hugged her tightly. "That won't happen; I will always need you."
That day, I learned about Shang Haoran's story.
It turned out he was the illegitimate son of the Ye Family. Madam Ye had adopted him from an orphanage. At first, everyone was happy about it.
But when Madam Ye discovered she could not have children, all her resentment was directed at Shang Haoran. She believed he was the reason for her misfortune.
So throughout his childhood, Shang Haoran was kept locked away at home, with no one to play with and no friends.
After his parents passed away, Madam Ye cast him aside even more.
At that time, he was just a teenager and began to frequent bars and nightclubs.
Everyone said Shang Haoran was a spoiled rich kid.
Yet he said, "Sometimes I wonder if my life would have been different if my parents hadn't picked me up."
"I feel that my very existence is a mistake."
Yan Chengcheng was stunned after hearing his words. She never expected that Shang Haoran's life would be so difficult. Even more shocking was the realization that her own sister knew everything yet still pushed her into the fire.
At that moment, she felt a deep sense of compassion for Shang Haoran. "Shang Haoran, don't worry, I will always be by your side."
A few days later, Yan Chengcheng was called to the school by her counselor. The reason was that her last exam scores had suddenly skyrocketed, leading the counselor to suspect cheating.
With a blank expression, Yan Chengcheng looked at the counselor. "You say he cheated, but do you have any evidence?"
"His scores improved so quickly; what else could it be if not cheating?"
"As a counselor, you should know what it means to falsely accuse a student of cheating," Yan Chengcheng replied coldly. "The school has surveillance cameras, and there are witnesses for the exam. If you claim Shang Haoran cheated, then provide the evidence. If you can't, I can sue you for defamation!"
Her assertive attitude startled the counselor. She never expected that a student's parent would dare to challenge her like this. Yet, every word Yan Chengcheng said was reasonable.
In the end, the school reviewed the surveillance footage and found witnesses. The results proved that he had not cheated.
The counselor's expression darkened. "Now it can be proven that Shang Haoran is innocent, right?"
Yan Chengcheng looked at the counselor. "As a teacher, having wronged your own student, shouldn't you apologize?"
"You!" The counselor glared at her.
Yan Chengcheng smiled. "I know you look down on students like us, thinking we lack upbringing and don't love learning, believing we are beyond saving. But have you ever considered what caused all of this?"
"You people labeled us from the very beginning. You don't acknowledge our efforts, only our results."
"Teacher, if you don't admit your mistake today, how much impact will it have on Shang Haoran's future?"
"Teacher, are you really going to do this?"
In the end, the counselor apologized to me with a grim expression.
I accepted it without showing any emotion.
Throughout the entire exchange, my expression remained flat.
Because for me, none of this mattered.
