Since that day, Lin Qingyu hasn't come to see me again.
Later, I found out she had committed suicide by burning coal at home.
When I heard the news, I only replied with an "Oh," feeling largely unaffected.
Because of her foolish favoritism, she caused Lele's death, and she deserved all of it.
Before Lin Qingyu committed suicide, she signed a will leaving all her assets to me.
With this money, I started a Hope Primary School.
Watching the lively children in front of me, it's as if I'm back in the days when Lele was around.
I posted Lele's photo on the unoccupied desk in the classroom, the spot reserved just for her.
Seeing me sometimes sit by the desk in tears and daze, the children empathetically chat with me.
They talk to Lele's photo, introducing the knowledge they've learned in textbooks, sharing the fun times in school, and the sights and sounds from outside.
Sometimes, they tiptoe quietly, trying their best to touch my hair, comforting me.
