The Eight-Year Lie： Shattered Vows and a Vengeful Heart - Chapter 1
How much did Xu Ge love me?
Opening my phone, the wallpaper was still a picture of us at eighteen, dressed in sportswear. Xu Ge had cream on his face, his arm lightly draped over my right shoulder, grinning foolishly at the camera. What a wonderful young man he was!
Xu Ge and I were high school sweethearts. In the winter of our freshman year, Xu Ge sold his tablet and prepared for a month to give me the first birthday celebration of my life.
In the darkened classroom, he walked towards me holding a cake, his face illuminated by the flickering candlelight. That faint glow was the only warmth I had ever known in my life.
A cake, a doll, a blue bracelet, and him.
I fell hopelessly in love.
