"Shen Nanzhi, do you think you're so great just because you have some money? We don't care!" Looking at Lin Chu who clung to Zhou Ke Bai, I felt a bit dazed as our gazes met.

　　Zhou Ke Bai, at the age of twenty, still had a youthful face and wore a pair of washed-out jeans.

　　However, he was too good-looking, with a tall and slender figure, sharp facial features, and a pair of eyes as cold as stars, which made even his clothes appear luxurious.

　　I couldn't help but take a step back and support myself against the table to steady myself.

　　How long has it been since I last saw Zhou Ke Bai like this? Ten years? Or twenty years? It has been too long, and I can't remember anymore.

　　After all, that was already a past life.

　　Zhou Ke Bai was slightly startled when he saw me step back.

　　Lin Chu continued to babble, but I couldn't hear anything.

　　Everything in front of me was exactly the same as in the past life.

　　It was like this back then too―he refused my sponsorship, but I insisted on supporting him.

　　I liked Zhou Ke Bai for seven years, and I knew that his family conditions were not good.

　　His father was a compulsive gambler, who would come home drunk and beat him and his mother after losing all his money.

　　Zhou's mother couldn't stand the torment and eventually committed suicide.

　　From a young age, Zhou Ke Bai had to scavenge for garbage, do odd jobs, and rely on scholarships to go to school.

　　We were never supposed to have any connection.

　　However, his academic performance was always excellent, so our private high school awarded him a scholarship to increase the college enrollment rate, and that's how we ended up in the same high school.

　　At that time, our circle consisted of young masters and young ladies who came from wealthy families and did not care about studying.

　　We spent our days aimlessly and looked forward to going abroad in the future, getting a diploma, and then inheriting the family business.

　　Only Zhou Ke Bai was different.

　　He had clear goals―studying well in class and working part-time after school.

　　Although he didn't have money, he never felt ashamed, always maintaining a proud and confident attitude.

　　It was during that time that I fell in love with him.

　　I liked him, so I couldn't bear to see him suffer.

　　At a young age, I thought I knew everything and arrogantly gave him everything I thought was good.

　　If he had to work at night and couldn't have breakfast in the morning, I brought him a lunchbox from home.

　　"Zhou Ke Bai, the steak my family maid makes is the most delicious, try it! "And there's foie gras, my dad specially air-imported it, it's especially tasty." I was the only daughter in my family, spoiled and pampered since childhood.

　　Everyone around me doted on me, leaving my mind empty.

　　I just wanted to give him the best.

　　But I completely ignored whether he wanted it or not.

　　Surrounding classmates mocked: "Shen Nanzhi, what does he know about foie gras? Hahaha, I bet he can't even afford chicken liver!" I cursed at them: "It's none of your damn business!" I didn't see Zhou Ke Bai tightly squeezing the lunchbox, his fingers losing color.

　　He paused for a moment and returned the lunchbox to me coldly, saying, "Thank you for your kind gesture, but it's not necessary." "Come on, Zhou Ke Bai," a male student winked, "if you get together with Shen Nanzhi, you won't have to struggle for the rest of your life.

　　Hurry up and climb up the social ladder!" "That's right, then your dad won't have to gamble how much to bet, and won't have to come up with ideas to cover your tuition fees, hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.

　　I slammed the table and said, "Shut up, all of you!" The others dared not laugh anymore.

　　Zhou Ke Bai, however, suddenly stood up and walked out.

　　I chased after him from behind, trying to give him the lunchbox, "Zhou Ke Bai, don't listen to their nonsense.

　　Quickly eat your lunch, or else you'll struggle with a part-time job at night and your body won't be able to take it." He stopped and turned abruptly.

　　I froze.

　　His eyes were filled with resentment and disgust.
