The kind of person Kong Ning despised most in her life was someone who constantly showed off.
Unfortunately, she was one herself.
She always worked hard behind the scenes for recognition, waiting for the perfect moment to amaze everyone and earn their applause. Logically, she should not have hated people who liked to show off. The problem was that she had never once succeeded at it.
Because among her friends was the greatest show-off she had ever known, Wei Mu.
Just like her name suggested, everyone said that talking to Wei Mu felt as refreshing as a gentle spring breeze.
Since childhood, Kong Ning had lived in Wei Mu’s shadow. As for why they were friends in the first place, it was simply fate playing a cruel joke on her. Their families had been close friends for generations, and Kong Ning had been forced to know Wei Mu from the day she was born.
Wei Mu had been adorable as a child, but everything changed once they started school.
Throughout their school years, Kong Ning was always the eternal second-place student, while Wei Mu remained the untouchable first. Whether it was music competitions, essay contests, or speech tournaments, whenever Wei Mu participated, nobody seemed to notice Kong Ning. To make matters worse, Wei Mu always ended up by her side for no apparent reason.
By high school, Kong Ning had finally reached her limit.
“Why do you always enter the same competitions as me? Are you doing it on purpose? What did I ever do to offend you? Every single time, you steal first place from me!”
Without even lifting her eyelids, Wei Mu replied,
“Oh? Is that so? I just join any competition I see. Then I accidentally get first place. Maybe I’m simply too outstanding.”
“You! You! how shameless can you be?!”
Kong Ning pointed at her, nearly fainting from anger. There was no way Wei Mu had not secretly practiced beforehand. She simply refused to believe it.
When university applications came around, Kong Ning deliberately chose the other Top-2 university after learning where Wei Mu planned to attend. Although the two campuses were right next to each other, at least she would not have to see Wei Mu every day.
Freedom.
At last, true freedom.
Kong Ning thoroughly enjoyed the days when she could bask in praise without being overshadowed.
However, during a gathering organized by their mutual friends, she drank far too much.
In her drunken state, she grabbed Wei Mu and spent the entire night kissing her passionately.
And Wei Mu did not reject her.
When Kong Ning woke up the next morning, her world collapsed.
She immediately went online to ask for advice:
“What should I do if, after getting drunk, I somehow ended up having a happy ending with my annoyingly pretentious childhood friend?”
A netizen from the “Lesbian Kingdom” replied:
“There’s no need to think about it. If, after sobering up, your first instinct wasn’t to delete her contact information and cut ties completely, then your subconscious is already telling you the answer, you like her. Speaking from experience.”
I like Wei Mu? Impossible.
Kong Ning immediately deleted Wei Mu from her friends list.
