“Winston!” I stared at him with sorrow and anger. “Your feud with Reynaldo has nothing to do with me. Why do you have to use me to deal with him? Have you forgotten our past friendship?”

“Hehehehe…”

The man suddenly laughed strangely, as if he had heard a huge joke. He laughed for a long time, laughing as if even tears were choked out. After a long time, he finally said to me, “Let me make it clear to you that the grudge between him and me is all because of you. As for our previous relationship? Well…” He laughed disdainfully, “It’s all fake; there’s no real relationship between you and me at all.”

I looked at him deeply, and my hands, tied behind my back, tightened secretly. At that moment, I suddenly felt that this man was so unfamiliar to me that I didn’t recognize him at all. And he exuded a kind of madness and terror all over his body. Unlike Reynaldo’s sinister demeanor, Reynaldo’s gloomy and cold attitude are straightforward, only making people feel scared, not malicious. But at this moment, as I looked at the man in front of me with his twisted smile, all I could think of in my mind was the word ‘malicious.’

He said, “Actually, my unknown brother has been wanting you for a long time.”

My heart trembled fiercely: “What… what do you mean?”

Winston smirked, his smile strange and mocking. “Do you know why I met you in high school?”

I didn’t say anything, but memories drifted back to my high school days along with his question. At that time, the school’s recognized campus heartthrob suddenly asked me for directions, which was the first time I had ever interacted with him. I was walking home from school with Vonnie at the time. He didn’t ask Vonnie; he just asked me. Vonnie was joking with me at the time, saying that he had taken a fancy to me, deliberately striking up a conversation with me, wanting to pursue me. I used to joke that Vonnie had a vivid imagination. The second time we met, he really invited me and Vonnie to dinner in front of many people, saying it was to thank me for showing him the way the first time. At that time, the acknowledged campus heartthrob treated us to a meal, truly making all the girls around us green with envy. Vonnie was extremely excited and immediately accepted. Later on, the third meeting, the fourth meeting… and many subsequent meetings became sparse and ordinary, taken for granted. Then I gradually got to know him.

At that time, I didn’t understand what was going on between men and women, and I only had a little bit of admiration for him in my heart. Plus, every time he asked me out, he would bring me flowers in a grand manner, so much so that all the students in the school thought we were a couple. Even Vonnie often teased the two of us. Over time, I even began to feel that I would be with him in the future, that we would become a couple. Until the night of the class reunion…

Distant memories intertwined with reality; everything became unrecognizable. And at this moment, it seems like I have seen some things clearly from it. I looked at the man in front of me, who was smiling but I didn’t recognize at all, and asked in a deep voice, “Back then… were you intentionally trying to strike up a conversation with me?”

Winston sneered, “Yeah, I really don’t like talking about love with you little girls. If that man wasn’t interested in you, how would I have noticed you?”
