"Little Xin, don't worry, I can handle this issue. Never again entertain the thought of dropping out. Focus on your studies, aim for a top university, and make our village proud!" Wang Xiaoqiang suppressed the fire qi in his heart, offering Jiang Xiaoxin comfort and encouragement.
"Brother Qiang, I've actually considered dropping out, not just because of Yao Zhihao's harassment, but also..." Jiang Xiaoxin said weakly, afraid to continue.
"What else is it? Is it a financial problem at home? If it's about money, I can help you..."
"You're too kind, Brother Qiang, but money isn't the issue. It's because of you..." Jiang Xiaoxin said, biting her lip.
At her words, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart pounded fiercely: "Because of me?!"
Jiang Xiaoxin looked steadily at Wang Xiaoqiang and nodded, "Brother Qiang, when you were still in school, we went together. I didn't have these thoughts then, but ever since you dropped out, I've felt so alone, as if studying had lost its meaning..."
