After getting into Tsinghua University, my boyfriend ran off with my best friend. My mother died of anger, and I was forced to drop out of school and work in a factory. Years later, due to a toxic gas leak at the factory, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. The unscrupulous boss fled, and when I tracked him down, I discovered he was my scumbag ex-boyfriend. He showed no remorse, mocking me for being poor and old, telling me I was better off dead, and pushed me downstairs. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in my senior year of high school. 1 "Sophie, if college entrance exam scores could be exchanged, would you be willing to trade yours with me?" My boyfriend, Chris Taylor, handed me a bubble tea and asked jokingly. I had just woken up from a nap, my mind momentarily groggy. Just as I was about to nod, a sharp pain shot through my head. Memories from before my death flooded back. At that time, a middle-aged Chris lived in a mansion, dressed in designer brands, but wearing a malicious smile that clashed with his attire: "Sophie Shen, look at you now. I almost didn't recognize you." "Compensation? Keep dreaming. You poor people are just fuel for us rich folks." "Blame yourself for being useless. Since you have cancer, you might as well die sooner." I lunged at him in anger. But he pushed me down the stairs. I died, but Chris used the "Exchange System" to escape legal punishment. I died with grievances unresolved, and the Rebirth System found me. It told me Chris's biggest secret. It turned out he possessed an Exchange System. As long as he obtained the other party's consent, he could easily swap for their precious things. But if he failed to complete the system's tasks, he would be erased. This time, the Exchange System's task for him was to get into Tsinghua University. As the top student in the school, I was chosen by him as the exchange target. To get my college entrance exam score, he spared no effort in pursuing me for two years. Finally, he moved me, and I agreed to date him. He repeatedly tested me with similar questions. I thought he was just joking. I agreed to the exchange without any suspicion. Unexpectedly, he turned in a blank paper for his exam but swapped away my province-topping score. After getting into Tsinghua, he confessed to my two-faced best friend, and they both got into Tsinghua. They became the envy of everyone as a scholarly couple. While I, the top student, got a zero and became a huge joke. My mother, who had worked hard to support my education, died of anger. I also suffered from severe depression and had to drop out of school. Thinking of my tragic life afterward, I gritted my teeth in hatred. My whole body couldn't stop trembling. Chris noticed something was wrong with me, his eyes looking a bit guilty as he asked: "Sophie, what's wrong?" "I asked you a question, why aren't you answering me?" What he cared about most was still whether I would exchange with him. I pinched my palm hard to calm myself down. When I looked up again, I had returned to normal. I smiled at him: "Sorry, didn't catch that. What did you say?" He asked again, adding cautiously: "I was just asking casually." I secretly laughed at his shamelessness but kept a straight face, asking back: "Why would you want to exchange exam scores with me?" He sighed and said: "Your grades are so good, you'll definitely get into Tsinghua." "But my grades are much worse. If we're not in the same school, I'm afraid you won't want me anymore." Quite the excuse. I looked thoughtful and asked: "Then if we exchange, wouldn't it mean I can't get in?" "If you get into Tsinghua, won't you have a change of heart?" He swore: "Of course not. Even if you don't get into college, my feelings for you won't change." "As long as you want it, as long as I have it, I can exchange anything with you." He continued to guide me to say I was willing to exchange. I smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I won't break up with you just because you don't get into Tsinghua." "Instead of fantasizing about these unrealistic things, you should seize the time to do more practice questions. You might get a few more points." His face looked ugly for a moment, disappointment written all over it. He lost interest in talking to me and left with a random excuse. I knew he must have gone to find my "good best friend," Maya Li. Sure enough, not long after, Maya came to find me. "Sophie, what did you say to Chris? He looks so sad." 2 I raised an eyebrow and looked her over. Remembering the last time I saw her before I died. At that time, she and Chris were a well-known wealthy couple. Upon learning I had cancer, she covered her nose and dodged as if I were something dirty: "Chris, handle it yourself. I don't want to catch any bad luck!" Back then, she completely forgot how I took care of her in high school. We were both from single-parent families and lived close by. Her father was strict, violent, and favored boys over girls. He would beat and kick her at the slightest dissatisfaction. She didn't dare go home and could only stay at my house. She had no money to buy study materials, so I lent her mine. She couldn't afford breakfast, so I shared half of mine. I patiently explained the questions she couldn't do. Without my help, she couldn't possibly have such good grades. But after the college entrance exam, when Chris confessed to her, she agreed without hesitation. She even came to me hypocritically and said: "Sophie, you can't go to college anyway. You and Chris will break up sooner or later." "Instead of letting someone else have him, it's better if it's me." I cried and asked her: "Aren't we best friends? You know he's a scumbag, yet you're with him?" "Sophie, it's meaningless for you to say that." "I can't give up such an excellent boyfriend just for you." "You messed up the exam yourself and aren't worthy of him. You can't call him a scumbag for that." "If it were you, you wouldn't want a boyfriend who scored zero on the college entrance exam either." She smiled mockingly and left without looking back. Later, when my mom died, she didn't even show her face. It's laughable that I regarded her as my best friend. Truly blind. "Why do you care about him so much?" I asked deliberately. Thinking about it carefully, ever since Chris started pursuing me, Maya had been acting strange. She would deliberately disparage Chris in front of me. Saying he looked like a player and his interest in me was definitely impulsive. Telling me to stay away from him. But facing Chris, she had another face. Praising his devotion, his looks, saying she envied me for having such a good boyfriend. Maya's eyes flickered, and she laughed it off: "I'm not caring about him, I'm caring about you. I thought you guys quarreled." I lowered my head and continued doing problems, saying lukewarmly: "No quarrel, just advised him to prepare well for the exam." I didn't miss the fleeting joy on Maya's face: "Then he's being immature. You're doing it for his own good. This person really has no ambition." "Sophie, I think he's not good enough for you. You should reconsider your relationship." I looked up at her, pretending to consider seriously: "But... the exam is coming up soon. Breaking up now would be too big a blow for him, right?" "What if he fails the exam because of it? Wouldn't I feel guilty for a lifetime?" Maya rolled her eyes: "You're too soft-hearted." "Why care about him? If he fails, it's because he's incompetent. Can he blame you?" She continued to encourage me to break up with Chris. She talked endlessly, listing a bunch of Chris's shortcomings, advising me to break it off early. I remained silent throughout. After she got tired of talking, I smiled like a naive girl: "I know he has many flaws, but who told me to like him?" "Besides, he's smart and comes from a wealthy family. Even if he doesn't get into a good school, his family can support him." "It's me, with poor family conditions. The college entrance exam is my only way out." After speaking, I lowered my head to do problems again, completely ignoring Maya's ugly expression. As the exam date approached, Chris came to find me more and more frequently. He tried every way to please me. Buying me expensive gifts, responding to my every request. Circling around me like a dog every day. Making Maya jealous beyond recognition. On my birthday, he specially ordered a bouquet and a big cake. After evening self-study, he lit 999 candles on the playground and confessed his deep love to me. Students living on campus were all attracted. Maya, however, whispered sourly in my ear: "What is he doing? Don't you think it's exaggerated? So embarrassing!" "Sophie, being so high-profile, if teachers and parents find out, it's bad for you! You'd better not go over." I still had a silly smile on my face: "My mom and teachers know. They said as long as it doesn't affect my studies, they don't care." Maya looked like she had swallowed a fly. Because her dad didn't allow her to date early; she had to keep her purity to exchange for a high bride price in the future. Chris presented flowers to me in public and gave me the latest mobile phone. Maya watched with eyes glowing green. I pretended the unpleasantness of that day didn't happen and accepted his gifts with a smile. He harmed me so badly in my past life; it was only right for me to collect some interest. On the way to send me home, he brought up the old topic again: "Sophie, are you happy today?" I nodded, shaking the flowers in my hand: "Of course I'm happy." He rolled his eyes and asked: "Then if I ask you now, are you willing to exchange exam scores with me, what would you say?" 3 I pouted and said, "Actually, I regretted saying no that day." His eyes lit up. I continued: "I even told my best friend." "But she said I did the right thing, and that I shouldn't joke about the college entrance exam." "She also said your grades are bad, so swapping with you would be a huge loss." His face turned iron green. "Chris, actually I think Maya makes sense too." "Let's not talk about this topic anymore. You know my family conditions are poor." "My mom counts on me getting into a good university to succeed in the future." "If I don't test well, my mom will be heartbroken." He immediately interrupted me irritably: "You only know your mom, your mom. What about me?" "Have you never considered my feelings?" I looked at him in surprise and asked: "Isn't this a hypothetical question?" "I said I wouldn't swap scores with you, I didn't say I'd break up with you. Why are you angry?" He ran his hands through his hair anxiously, saying urgently: "I don't have much time left!" "Can't you just coax me? Even if it's a lie!" I shook my head, looking innocent and sincere: "Chris, you know I don't like to lie, especially to you." "The most important thing between two people is honesty, isn't it?" He uttered a curse, then asked me with red eyes: "I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to swap with me or not." "If you don't, you will lose me. Are you still unwilling to swap?" He was like a trapped beast in a cage. But I watched his near-collapse with interest. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so irritable?" I still didn't take his bait. The taste of toying with scumbags was truly satisfying. Chris's body began to tremble uncontrollably. "Am I not good enough to you? What exactly do you want?" His eyes became fierce. Just as I was worried he might hit me, my mom arrived. "Sophie, why so late today?" Chris immediately calmed down, put on an ingratiating smile, and faced my mom: "Auntie, today is Sophie's birthday. I celebrated with her, so we were delayed a bit." He smiled and handed the cake to my mom. My mom frowned slightly, looked at me, then said to Chris: "Little Chris, Auntie knows you are good to Sophie." "But the exam is coming up soon. You both need to focus on preparation." "After you both get into good universities, you'll have plenty of time for romance." "Auntie isn't old-fashioned, but at this critical juncture, you can't relax at all, understand?" He nodded stiffly: "Auntie, I know. Just this once." "It's her birthday today..." My mom didn't make it hard for him, waving her hand: "Alright, you go home early too." "After the exam, come to our house, Auntie will cook something good for you." Chris looked at me again before leaving reluctantly. As soon as I got home, I received his message. 【Sophie, I still want your affirmative answer.】 【This is very important to me. Since you love me too, why can't you fulfill my wish?】 He started guilt-tripping me. Seeing I ignored him, he directly threatened to break up. He even showed me messages from several girls confessing to him. One profile picture was Maya. I recognized it instantly because I drew that profile picture for her. 【If you don't cherish me, plenty of others will.】 【Sophie Shen, I've had enough. You don't love me at all.】 【Let's break up!】 The corners of my mouth couldn't help rising. This was the sentence I was waiting for. I quickly replied with one word: 【Okay】 He angrily replied: 【Don't regret it!】 I sent him a screenshot of my chat with Maya. Maya spared no effort in persuading me to break up with him, saying: 【Chris has bad grades, might not even get into college. You have no future with him.】 【When you get to university and meet better people, you will definitely regret it. Break up early.】 【His family just has a little money, far from real rich people!】 Chris's chat box showed 【Typing...】 for a long time. Finally, he only sent me two sentences: 【Heh... she told you that?】 【Do you believe that if I just hook my finger, she'll come running like a dog?】 I pretended to be angry and replied: 【You're not allowed to slander my best friend like that!】 【She doesn't even look at you, stop being delusional!】 I knew that with Chris's temper, he would definitely go confess to Maya immediately. Sure enough, he soon sent me a screenshot of his successful confession to Maya. The next morning, Chris high-profiledly held Maya's hand entering the school. The classmates who were moved by his deep confession to me last night were dumbfounded. Someone asked Chris: "What act is this? Didn't you say last night you'd love Sophie Shen forever?" 4 Chris glanced at me, who was focused on memorizing words, and sneered: "I just suddenly realized I was chasing the wrong person." He made up a melodramatic story. Saying he met a little girl when he was young and spent a wonderful day with her. They even exchanged tokens. Growing up, he met me and mistook me for the girl he knew back then. Only last night did the misunderstanding clear up; I took the token he gave Maya, causing him to mistake the person. After that, he rolled his eyes at me mockingly: "Cinderella's sister cutting off her toes to fit the glass slipper is just deceiving herself." "True love can overcome all difficulties. No matter how some people try to obstruct, the truth will come out one day." Maya hid beside him with a shy face, smiling very sweetly. She also pretended to hit him lightly, saying: "Oh, don't say that. Sophie didn't mean it." "She just liked you too much." Chris kissed her on the cheek and said: "Baby, you are just too kind." I was almost disgusted to death. Although I really wanted to help this pair of scumbag and bitch succeed, I couldn't bear such infamy for no reason. I put down my book and asked with a smile: "What token is it?" Chris pointed to the necklace on my neck: "This one. You won't deny that Maya gave it to you, right?" I looked down, then looked at Maya: "Didn't your mom give this to you?" Maya gave me the necklace. Because for her birthday that year, I gave her a silver bracelet. Far more valuable than this silver necklace. Maya said aggrievedly: "I said that because I didn't have money to buy a gift for your birthday." "You know, my dad never gives me pocket money." Chris held Maya's hand heartachely and said to me: "Sophie Shen, that's enough." "Knowing Maya's family situation, yet accepting her expensive gift, you are really cruel." "And lying to me that this necklace was yours, making me think you were the one I was looking for." The whole class looked at me with strange eyes. Maya neither explained for me nor agreed with Chris, just stood beside Chris with slightly red eyes. Letting me be slandered by Chris and criticized by classmates. "How can Sophie be like this?" "What plastic sisterhood, stabbing her best friend in the back." "I thought she really took care of Maya, didn't expect her to steal her boyfriend behind her back." Chris looked at me triumphantly, very satisfied with the effect he created. "Sophie Shen, I hope you can apologize to me and Maya, and return all the gifts I gave you." "Those things don't belong to you. Won't your conscience hurt taking them?" So he staged this not only to frame me but also to get back the money spent on me. As expected of him. Maya pulled him, acting green tea: "Chris, forget it... we are already together, other things are not important." "Maybe this is a test from heaven for us. As for Sophie... I won't blame her." "Who made her my best friend!" After speaking, she walked up to me and said in an extremely disgusting tone: "Sophie, you will bless us, right?" "We'll still be good friends in the future, okay?" Although I had long been disgusted with her and Chris. At this moment, I was still sickened by her. I didn't want to embarrass her in public, but now... I directly took out my phone and sent the chat record between me and Chris last night to the class group. Chris and Maya naturally received it too. Their faces instantly became extremely ugly.
