I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 215
In a mountain villa in Capital City.
Celia was currently resting in her room.
Today was Saturday and she did not need to go to school, so she decided she would sleep in today.
Only for her phone to buzz non-stop early in the morning.
Celia scrolled through her phone and realized that the high school class group chat was discussing an ex-classmate.
Celia lived in the Capital City, but she had gone to high school in the small county of Shu City. She had transferred to Shu City during her second year of high school.
This was because her father had transferred to Shu City then, and her mother, a powerful businesswoman, was always running around and out of the country for work. As a result, she followed her father to Shu City.
However, a year later, her dad had made a name for himself in Shu City and was transferred back to Capital City. Back then, she insisted that she stay in Shu City until she graduated.
She told him that she had grown up and should learn to be independent and that changing schools constantly was not beneficial to her studies.
From then onwards, seventeen-year-old Celia lived alone in Shu City.
She would go to school herself, learn to wash her own clothes, make food, clean the house, and adapt to the feeling of loneliness.
She did all this for one person.
Someone who gave her a second chance at life.
Despite the years that have passed, she could not forget this person that had deeply engrained himself in her heart.
She would never forget that weekend when she had just arrived at Shu City with her father. It was a rainy day, and she was crossing the road when she slipped and fell in the middle of the road.
At that moment, a lorry had lost control and had been speeding right at her. She was too petrified to move, but just as she closed her eyes and accepted her fate, she was engulfed in a warm hug. Instinctively, she hugged the person back with every ounce of energy she had.
A huge crash was heard and she opened her eyes only to realize it was a boy who was hugging her. She looked at the side of his face to see that he was well-kept and handsome.
She realized that the boy had carried her to the side of the road while the lorry had crashed into a building that was under construction a few dozen meters away from them.
She could only imagine what would happen to her if this boy had not saved her. It was possible that she would have been flattened by the lorry and gone to another world.
At that time, this boy had been delivering fast food.
To save her, the boy’s bicycle been thrown to the side and more than a dozen fast-food orders had gone to waste.
She wanted to compensate him, but he rejected her and said that anyone else would have done the same thing.
Yet, there were so many people in the street and he was the only one who risked his life to save her.
The next day, she realized that this boy was her classmate.
She was extremely elated by this.
From then on, she started paying attention to him.
The boy might never know that there was a pair of eyes secretly paying attention to his every move at school.
The boy was strong, motivated, optimistic, and cheerful.
No matter how bad his family conditions were, he never made a single complaint.
Whenever he was free, he would do part-time jobs to help reduce his family’s financial burdens.
He did not have much spare time to study, but his grades were always good.
Before she came to this school, this boy was always in the first place.
When she came to this school, there were times when she would purposefully make a few mistakes in her exams so that he could take first place again.
With this, they became good friends who cherished each other. Their grades always alternated between first and second places.
This was only possible because she intentionally made mistakes though.
A year later, her father left Shu City but she insisted on staying because she did not want to leave him so soon.
Not too long after her father left, he found a girlfriend.
She was a pretty girl from class. They suited one another, and the classmates teased that they were a match made in heaven.
She congratulated them, but once she returned home, she could not stop the tears from running down her face.
She spent a long time crying under her blankets. She had despised how cowardly and weak she was.
