Sang Yu quietly got up and walked to the living room, careful not to wake Lin Yue. The figure standing by the window in the dead of night appeared so lonely. As she gazed out at the myriad of lights in the city, her thoughts drifted back to the past.
"Sang Yu, let's break up."
Sang Yu stared blankly at the boy in front of her. They had just finished their college entrance exams yesterday, and he was so eager to rid himself of her? Had she ultimately failed to make him like her?
It seemed she was unwilling to accept this reality. She lifted her head and looked into his eyes. "Lu Jingzhi, did you ever like me even a little?" She wanted to know if her efforts had yielded any return at all.
Lu Jingzhi's gaze faltered as he looked into Sang Yu's eyes. She rarely dared to meet his gaze, always looking down when they spoke. He hadn’t expected her to ask him this question. After a moment of stunned silence, he pushed aside the strange feelings in his heart and finally spoke, "No."
He knew she was a girl, but not liking someone was simply not liking them; feelings could not be forced. He felt guilty for dragging her into their bet when she was innocent, but it was too late for apologies now.
Sang Yu lowered her head, not wanting Lu Jingzhi to see her tears.
"I'm sorry." Lu Jingzhi took a long look at Sang Yu before turning and walking away.
It took Sang Yu a while to find her voice again. She raised her head to look in the direction Lu Jingzhi had left, her lips parting slightly.
Her voice drifted away with the wind, fading into the distance where he had gone.
Sang Yu couldn’t remember how she made it back home. She locked herself in her room for days without eating or drinking, scaring Sang's father and Sang's monther half to death. No matter how they tried to persuade her, Sang Yu wouldn’t listen; it was as if she had sealed herself off from the world, unable to hear any outside sounds.
Eventually, Sang Yu fainted. Sang's father and Sang's monther hurriedly took her to the hospital. At that time, even her college application forms were filled out by them.
Later on, Sang Yu’s parents took her to see a psychologist. The doctor said that Sang Yu showed signs of depression. Thankfully, Sang's father and Sang's monther had acted quickly; after that, Sang Yu’s condition gradually improved.
They learned from Lin Yue about their daughter’s high school romance, but seeing their daughter in such a state made them both angry and heartbroken—angry that she had let herself be tormented over a boy, yet heartbroken for her plight, unable to bring themselves to scold her.
They could only resent the boy who had toyed with their daughter's feelings while also reflecting on themselves. They realized that they often paid more attention to their younger daughter; their elder daughter was quiet by nature, leading them to unconsciously overlook her needs. This realization filled them with guilt.
If they had cared more about their eldest daughter, perhaps she wouldn't have fallen ill. But now, it was too late to say anything.
During that time, no one dared to mention that boy's name in front of her.
After the summer vacation, although Sang Yu's mental state had improved somewhat, Sang's father and Sang's monther were still very worried. They decided to help Sang Yu apply for a leave of absence from school.
During this period, Sang Yu's parents and younger sister showered her with endless love and companionship. Her sister, Sang Xia, often entertained her with playful antics to make her laugh.
