When An Li received the WeChat message from Wen Linyu, her emotions were indescribable.
She stared at the message asking why she hadn't come to class for a long time, yet she never intended to reply.
In An Li's heart, the words of Jiang Yi were absolutely correct.
She had indeed ignored Jiang Yi's repeated well-intentioned advice.
Jiang Yi said that even if she confessed her feelings for Wen Linyu, the challenges they'd face would be innumerable.
This first obstacle nearly cost her her family.
She hadn't the strength to pursue an outcome with complete indifference.
Even if she did nothing, the consequences were still more than she could bear.
She feared once again witnessing her grandparents in the agony of losing a family member; these days, she couldn't sleep properly.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw her aunt's bloodied face questioning her, demanding why she had taken her man.
Every time, she woke up from the nightmare trembling with fear.
