Jiang Jiayan stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on the tall, handsome boy.

Actually, Huai'an and Ye Zhou look somewhat alike. When Jiang Jiayan first entered the school, she thought she saw Ye Zhou when she first saw him.

She thought she had traveled back in time, back to the same high school classroom, and back to that gentle, kind boy.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that wasn't the case; everything had changed.

After learning that Ye Zhou had reported her father, Jiang Jiayan was initially angry, disbelieving, and unable to accept it. However, she gradually came to understand Ye Zhou.

Because Ye Zhou didn't do anything wrong. Her father did indeed do a lot of wrong things, which were unforgivable. Even without Ye Zhou, there would be other people to report him. Her father was wrong, and that's that.

Jiang Jiayan easily understood this point.

But it was too late.

Even though she had forgiven Ye Zhou, she didn't understand why Ye Zhou suddenly couldn't forgive her.

Ye Zhou was clearly the most forgiving person.

She hadn't expected that Ye Zhou was also the one who could let go most easily.

...

"Lin Mengting, you have to take responsibility for me. The injury on my arm is enough to put you in jail for three years."

Lin Mengting walked along the campus path, listening to Chen Yang's rambling. It had been almost half a year, and she had become somewhat accustomed to Chen Yang's behavior.

"Now that your injuries are fully healed, what exactly do you want?"

"It's simple. I want you to take responsibility for me. I'll waive your three years in jail, but you have to take care of me for another three years. However, I can't let you take care of me for nothing, so I'll reluctantly agree to let you be my girlfriend!"

Lin Mengting could hardly believe her ears. "What did you say?"

Chen Yang straightened his back and said, "I can reluctantly agree to let you be my girlfriend, give you a formal status, and stop the gossip around you. This is the best solution."

Lin Mengting stopped and looked at Chen Yang. Her eyes were as calm as a frozen lake in winter, but in reality, there were undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

You like me, don't you?

It's a statement, not a question.

Chen Yang panicked and took a few steps back. "What do you mean, 'like you'? How could that be? How could I possibly like you? That's utter nonsense!"

Lin Mengting's face showed an expression, but it was very contemptuous. "Since you don't dare to admit it, why pretend to be wronged? I think it's unnecessary. I'd rather go to jail. Go ahead and report me. The wound has already healed. Please show me your evidence."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Lin Mengting's lips as she continued walking towards the teaching building.

She knew Chen Yang's capabilities all too well.

"Don't go."

Lin Mengting was somewhat surprised and stopped in her tracks.

Chen Yang said breathlessly, "I... I like you. Can you be my girlfriend? Although I know you're a lesbian, I'm willing to undergo gender reassignment surgery for you."

Chen Yang thought to himself, "That's a lie." But he really liked Lin Mengting. He'd get her first, and put the gender reassignment issue aside for later.

Lin Mengting's pupils widened in shock, "I never imagined you liked me to this extent."

Chen Yang thought to himself, "I did all this for Ye Zhou."

Then, Lin Mengting took Chen Yang's hand, and their palms pressed tightly together.

Lin Mengting tilted her head and said, "We can give it a try."

Chen Yang's heart raced instantly, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, and thought he was doing a good job of pretending.

"Okay then, I'll pick you up after class."

Lin Mengting waved to him and turned to walk towards the teaching building.

Chen Yang broke down instantly, his heart pounding as if he were about to die.

He lay on the ground, his heart still pounding uncontrollably.

"I'm numb. So this is what it feels like to be in love. It's terrifying. My heart is beating faster than when I'm lifting weights."

Then he laughed, "Haha, hahaha."

Chen Yang kicked open the dormitory door and shouted, "Brothers, I have a girlfriend now!"

Ye Zhou, who occasionally returned to the dormitory for a midday rest, was even more excited than Chen Yang. "You're really amazing! You even managed to win over Lin Mengting. There's practically no woman in the world you can't handle."

Rang Rengan immediately suggested, "Now that the only single person in the dorm has found a partner, I suggest that we all bring our girlfriends, or rather, Brother Zhou bring his fiancée, and we all go out for a nice meal so that everyone can get to know each other."

"Okay, let's agree on a time."

The next day, when Ye Zhou passed by the dormitory, he saw a red banner hanging in front of the dormitory building.

"Congratulations to all the guys in the dorm for finding a partner!"

Without even thinking, I knew who had posted it. Luckily, Ren Gan didn't reveal the dormitory name, otherwise the whole school would be in deep trouble.

Everyone in the dorm is now in a relationship, so it's very crowded and lively at night.

Wen Yi was naturally lively and quickly became friends with An Youhe and Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei, in particular, had her eyes light up when she looked at the beautiful and generous senior.

Lin Mengting kept glancing at An Youhe, completely ignoring what others were saying. When it was An Youhe's turn to speak, she wanted to snap her neck and just stare at her.

An Youhe noticed Lin Mengting's gaze and simply smiled at her.

Lin Mengting seemed to realize that her gaze was impolite, and hurriedly looked away.

An Youhe whispered to Lin Mengting, "Are you feeling a little uncomfortable because there are too many strangers? It's okay, everyone is very easygoing, don't be too nervous."

Lin Mengting nodded seriously.

"Mengting, I heard you're with Chen Yang. Do you really like him?"

Lin Mengting was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "Maybe. I've never been in a relationship before, and I'd like to know what it feels like."

"Oh, I see. Chen Yang is a very good boy, worthy of being liked. It's good that you've let go of the past, Mengting. That's good."

"Perhaps."

After the party ended, Chen Yang was so drunk that Lin Mengting had to call several bodyguards to carry him away.

Ye Zhou didn't drink too much; his alcohol tolerance was indeed low, so he was still half-drunk and half-awake.

Bai Xu, a teetotaler, walked hand-in-hand with Wen Yi, chatting as they went.

Ren Gan was able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but Xiao Wei complained that he smelled of alcohol, and the two kept a great distance between them.

An Youhe pulled Ye Zhou into a taxi, said goodbye to everyone, and the taxi drove towards their home.

Ye Zhou lay drowsily on the girl's shoulder, asking, "Where are we going?"

"Go home," the girl said softly.

Is this our home?

"Yes, our home."

"Wife, I love you."
