Xia Yangyang remained silent.

However, Gong Xue’er continued, “Back then, you were like a beautiful swan in my eyes; the epitome of perfection. Everyone in the class, boys and girls alike, adored you. I wished I could be just a fraction as good as you.”

Gong Xue’er seemed to recall something out of the blue, “Those three years of middle school were the happiest years of my life; all because of you, Xia Yangyang. For the first time, I felt like I was more than just an ugly duckling. I felt privileged to be friends with someone as radiant as you. I could actually believe that one day, I could shine as brightly.”

Xia Yangyang retorted, “But you never truly considered me a friend.”

Gong Xue’er objected, “No, I genuinely considered you my best friend. Do you remember the wish box we buried under the third magnolia tree? Would you like to see it again?”

Of course, Xia Yangyang remembered.

At our middle school graduation, these wish boxes were quite the trend, especially among young couples.

Xia Yangyang had secretly bought a box, and together with Gong Xue’er, they had made a wish, put it into the box, and buried it under the third magnolia tree on the edge of the school ground. They promised to open it after ten years.

Gong Xue’er managed to find the same tree, dug up the soil with a rock, and found the old wish box.

The box was covered in rust.

Xia Yangyang’s heart ached as if being tortured, the innocent joy of those days seemed to resurface so vividly.

Gong Xue’er had already opened the box, and everything inside was still intact, including two notes.

Gong Xue’er first opened Xia Yangyang’s, which read: “I wish to explore and enjoy the delicacies of the world with Xue’er, and remain best friends forever.”

Gong Xue’er chuckled as she read the note, “Yangyang, I’m deeply touched by this.”

Xia Yangyang stepped forward and took the note from her, “It was just childish naivety.”

Gong Xue’er then handed over the other note, “Would you like to see what I wished for?”

Unable to resist, Xia Yangyang stole a glance.

It read: “I wish my best friend Yangyang everlasting happiness and joy.”

Xia Yangyang’s heart felt like it had been struck by something.

Tears welled up in her eyes, ready to spill over any moment. A wave of bitterness surged within her.

Gong Xue’er’s handwriting was elegant with a touch of childlike innocence. A small heart was even drawn at the bottom right corner of the note.

Xia Yangyang suddenly felt a pang of intense discomfort.

She asked the figure before her, “Why, why did everything change?”

Xia Yangyang couldn’t understand why the once innocent Gong Xue’er treated her so terribly now, competing, maliciously framing her, and scheming against her.

When did such a wonderful friendship turn into this horrifying nightmare?

Gong Xue’er stood up and announced, “Because of Haotian.”

Gong Xue’er added, “Follow me.”

Xia Yangyang trailed behind Gong Xue’er, clueless about her intentions.

Eventually, Gong Xue’er led Xia Yangyang to the basketball bleachers in the school ground.

Step by step they climbed up the stairs, stopping at the very top.

This spot was the highest and offered the best view of the entire school ground. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

In the past, Xia Yangyang used to bring Gong Xue’er here to watch Lu Haotian play football.

Back in middle school, even though Lu Haotian was in the high school next door, he still enjoyed bringing his friends over to play football here after school.

Of course, it was all because of Xia Yangyang.

Back then, Xia Yangyang was pampered by Lu Haotian as if she were a little princess.

Every time Lu Haotian finished a game, Xia Yangyang would go down to give him water, and all his friends knew her. Lu Haotian unabashedly called her his wife.

While they would laugh and frolic around on the field, Gong Xue’er stood on the bleachers, watching them from afar….
