Nobody suspected the association between Qian Tao’s drowning and Yu Jiajia’s discontinuation of school.

That afternoon, Qian Tao, Gu Tong, and Zhao Xinmei were having lunch together and were talking about this issue. Nobody except Qian Tao was concerned about it. As Gu Tong was from a different class and not close to Yu Jijia, it was only natural that she was not concerned about her. However, the coldness of Zhao Xinmei and her other classmates made Qian Tao feel sick.

They had been together for quite some time but nobody seemed to care about Yu Jiajia’s sudden disappearance, as if they had not been in the same class before.

“Tao, what’s the matter with you?” Gu Tong suddenly noticed that Qian Tao didn’t look well and was clutching her chest. She seemed unwell.

“Nothing…” Qian Tao shook her head. “It’s probably just indigestion. I just feel a little tightness in my chest.”

“I have medicine, do you need some?” One of her friends searched her bag immediately.

“No, thank you. I’ll take it easy.”

Before the group dismissed, Gu Tong asked her in private, “Are you worried about Yu Jiajia?”

“Yup…” Qian Tao pressed a hand against her chest and in a low voice, she muttered, “I don’t feel good. When I think of Yu Jiajia, I think of myself. I can’t escape my current lifestyle and I’m afraid that I’ll lose my extravagance one day. Will I be the next Yu Jiajia?”

The empathy Qian Tao had for Yu Jiajia was not without reason.
