"I want to live downstairs, not on the second floor."
Mrs. 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 belongings. I'm afraid that if I live there and accidentally damage her things, it would make you sad."
Mrs. Xue's eyes reddened, 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 her stay on the first floor."
I looked at Xue Ming, who understood very well why I was reluctant to live on the second floor.
In my past life, I had once jokingly said that I liked boys like Xue Ming.
That statement became evidence against me years later when I drugged my own brother.
Xue Ming hated me for many years.
That night, as I slept, I dreamt of events from my previous life.
I dreamed of our second child 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 the blanket and stared blankly at the floor.
The door creaked open, and Xue Ming walked in.
He closed the door and approached the bedside. "I heard you crying; are you okay?"
I shook my head and remained silent.
He didn't press further but walked back to the door and turned to say, "Hurry up and get ready for breakfast; otherwise, you'll be late for school."
The next day, the the Xue Family transferred me to a school where I would be with Xue Ming.
Xue Ming stood at the classroom door and waved at me.
As I approached him, he stood in front of the whole class and said, "This is the girl staying with my family."
I was slightly taken aback.
The term "foster care" was one he added himself. The the Xue Family publicly claimed that I had poor health, which was why I transferred schools to recuperate for a while.
I always felt that Xue Ming was different from the Xue Ming I remembered. He was not like the young Xue Ming 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 approached.
She glanced at me and then grabbed Xue Ming's sleeve. "Amin, wait for me after school. I have something to tell you."
Xue Ming frowned and calmly pulled her hand away. "If there's something to say, 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, she 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 at the end of the corridor, 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 became close friends who shared everything. She discovered my feelings for Xue Ming even before I did and often whispered sweet nothings in his ear on my behalf. I had always thought I was Lin Shuqin's best friend, without exception.
But when I brought medicine to the hotel to find her, she cried and told me that Xue Ming was her brother and that I couldn't 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 time around, Lin Shuqin was very different from before. She no longer took me to any gatherings or introduced me to anyone in her circle.
She still often meets up with Xue Ming for dates, but she never brings me along. During class, I can feel Lin Shuqin glancing back at me repeatedly. But I don't want to acknowledge her, so I pretend not to see. In my past life, I was too foolish and let others manipulate me. This time around, I won't create enmity with anyone for the sake of a man. The the Xue Family treats me well, and I cannot take their kindness for granted, so I approach everything with caution. However, I never expected studying to be this difficult. As I flipped through the math problems in my hands, I found them completely incomprehensible.
