Unmoved by either honor or shame

  The two people who walked by, one in front of the other, were not strangers, but Tang Jiji and someone else he knew even after turning to dust. It wasn't because they were too familiar, but because their resentment had run deep.

  It was Lian Min and Coral, they were the ones who told her there was something important to discuss with her before inviting her over.

  From the second year of high school, Tang Jiji and the two of them almost existed in a state of separation of powers with each other. As a rich miss, with the same brand name all over her body, going to and from school must be driven by a driver on time... So many common points still cannot bring the three of them into one friend circle, but instead become an irreconcilable situation due to various comparisons and contradictions.

  Coral is a spoiled girl, born and raised in luxury, looking down on everything. Since childhood, she has lived in Germany, and in her first year of high school, she secretly fell in love with an upperclassman two years older than her. However, that upperclassman was cold and distant, never giving Coral a second glance despite her persistent pursuit. On the eve of Coral's birthday, she put aside her pride and wrote him a love letter. On her birthday night, under the starry sky, she opened what was supposed to be his reply, only to find three casual words:

  Tang Jiji

  It's actually a woman's name! The intention to refuse is clearer than ever, and even writing down the girl he likes on the spot makes her feel embarrassed and unable to show her face.

  She, who had never suffered such humiliation since childhood, was so angry that she immediately made a scene and transferred back to her home country. But unexpectedly, when she went to Guo High School, she met a proud girl named Tang Jiji...

  From then on, this hatred has no end. Therefore, after that, Tang Ji often sighed for many years that it's not good to provoke girls who are born with love and hate.

  As for Lian Min... Tang Jiji remembered that she was once friends with her, but as for when they became enemies, it's probably related to that incident.

  Tang Jiji heard the footsteps of two people approaching one after another, and without lifting her head, she smelled the unique fragrance of the two people, and couldn't help but laugh at herself. Lian Min, on the other hand, was...

  Coral has gathered together, and now her situation is truly embarrassing, no wonder the two of them want to gather together to see her joke.

  Just now, the one who was startled and flustered was of course Coral. She was as radiant as ever, proudly looking down on Tang Jiji like a white swan: "Tang Jiji, only the weak fall down. I want you to be humiliated, but I don't want to see you collapse in front of me, that's no fun."

  Right! Only the weak will fall down! Tang Jiji is not! Tang Jiji just tripped and fell, hitting her right leg, fortunately without bleeding, only red and swollen with pain.

  Tang Jiji leaned against the wall to support herself, raised her chin and looked at Coral and Lian Min evenly, trying hard to shake off the unequal thoughts born out of the Tang family's bankruptcy.

  The waiter pointed at Tang Jiji with a hint of surprise: "Is she Miss Coral, your friend?"

  "Friend? Are you blind?! Coral and Tang Jiji are not even a bit like friends! Get out!" Coral suddenly became furious, and the waiter hastily retreated from the door of the private room in fear of offending her.

  "Hey, Tang Jiji, come on in, don't just stand at the door like a wimp, don't embarrass me!" Coral was still scolding as usual, while Lian Min quietly walked in.

  To their surprise, Tang Jiji didn't retort and instead silently followed them into the private room.

  Because Tang Jiji always reminds herself that the present is not like the past, she must remember to face everything with equanimity, otherwise it will be unbearable for herself.
