When no one was around, she quietly stood beside me and said timidly, "You're so lucky. I wish I had a teacher like that... I wish I could go to school."
Without hesitation, I called my parents overseas and told them I wanted to sponsor a girl to go to school.
I still remember her expression when she heard those words—her lips trembled, and her dirt-streaked face was a mix of tears and smiles.
We became best friends after that, and everything I had, she shared.
But unlike her, I didn't have other friends.
It wasn't until later that I discovered she had been telling others that I was a child she brought out of the mountains—shy and introverted.
To appease her gambling-addicted father, I transferred him a hundred thousand every month to ensure he wouldn't bother Tina.
At that time, her eyes were full of gratitude.
To repay me, she would tell me about every classmate's behavior, claiming they bullied others.
After witnessing it once, I completely believed her.
So, when she suggested I move off-campus during college, I immediately bought a place.
Since I was preparing to take over the family business, I decided to take online courses from home.
