"Gu Mang, she…" Jianghuai almost couldn't speak up. He struggled for a long time before he could. "She was the top scholar on the first national joint exam ten years ago. Clearwater High School, Elder Tan's student…"
Hearing this, Gu Yin heard a buzzing sound in her heart. Then, everything before her went blurry. She felt as if a vein in her brain that was tense had been torn apart. The surrounding noises started to blur together and a scene from a decade ago floated in her mind. That year, she was five. Her parents had sent her and Gu Mang to Clearwater High School. The school accepted Gu Mang who had been to a reform school before and but they did not want her. She could never forget the way that their relatives looked at her. Why did Gu Mang get accepted and not her!
