In that beautiful moment,

You appeared before me.

Like a phantom that appears and disappears,

Like a pure and beautiful elf.

***

The girl was clearly running too fast, panting heavily.

A blush appeared on part of her already fair cheeks.

When Ye Zhou saw the girl, he was initially surprised, but then a smile appeared on his lips.

He naturally moved slightly closer to the nervous and bewildered girl.

"You still say you didn't do it on purpose? You clearly did it on purpose, deliberately crashing into my heart."

Time seemed to stand still.

But the girl's ears turned increasingly red.

Liu Tian looked at Ye Zhou with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic, and couldn't help but nudge him twice with his elbow.

The girl lowered her head even further, as if she had mustered up her courage.

They moved slowly and awkwardly to the side of the two people.

Then he ran away at lightning speed.

Liu Tian opened his mouth into an "o" shape.

"When did you become so good at flirting? Do you even know who she is? You'll be responsible if she cries!"

Ye Zhou chuckled at his anxious expression.

"You like her?"

Liu Tian hurriedly said, "How could that be? Me, like her? Come on! She's a crybaby, she cries at the drop of a hat, nobody dares to mess with her!"

"I yelled at her instinctively just now, and when I saw who it was, I was almost scared to death. Luckily, she didn't cry!"

Ye Zhou in his previous life did have some feelings for her. When they first met at the restaurant, she was wearing a simple light blue dress, with a standard oval face, beautiful but not vulgar features, and an exquisite figure. A peach-colored hair clip held up her bangs.

She nervously pursed her bright red lips, noticing Ye Zhou's evasive gaze, and unconsciously tightened her grip on the chain of her shoulder bag.

Ye Zhou couldn't help but laugh. This girl was over twenty years old and already a working adult, yet she still had the air of a teenager.

To be precise, it feels like the feeling of first love.

Although his first love wasn't like that.

But it seems that's how it should be.

The girl's nervous expression almost made the waiter think they were on a date.

Ye Zhou had no memory of this person in her past life; she only introduced herself by name and said nothing else.

Ye Zhou had feelings for her at that time, but he was just an insurance salesman and didn't have the courage to pursue this beautiful girl.

The girl said she was buying it for several people in her company, and that she was Ye Zhou's first major customer.

Ye Zhou himself never expected that they would meet again on the high school campus.

"I didn't have any impression of her before, but now I think she's pretty good."

"Did this collision really lead to feelings?"

Liu Tian couldn't figure it out, but he quickly started laughing foolishly again, clapping and cheering.

"That's good. Stop chasing the school beauty and find a different target. People say you won't turn back until you hit a brick wall, and you've almost knocked a hole in it! I feel sorry for you, but I won't say anything."

"By the way, let me tell you more about An Youhe. She should be quite easy to pursue, except for her perpetually thick bangs... It seems like nobody knows what she looks like."

But Ye Zhou knew that this girl was a treasure.

Ye Zhou interrupted, asking, "Which class are you in?"

"Oh, oh, it's the science class, the classroom downstairs."

Ye Zhou's class is Class 1, and the classroom is on the third floor, while An Youhe's classroom is on the second floor.

"No, Lao Zhou, you really don't know her? She's the one who's always below you, always in second place, and she's also the head of the student council's discipline department!"

"Discipline Department? Never even heard of it."

"It's a department specifically for catching people who are dating, late, leave early, or skip class!"

Ye Zhou shook his head slightly; he really hadn't noticed.

He usually ranks first in the grade, and he doesn't care about the second or third place.

Moreover, he never cared about rankings; what he needed to defeat was himself.

The two quickened their pace to the cafeteria.

However, they overlooked the pink-skirted girl's tightly clenched hem not far behind them.

Jiang Jiayan originally wanted to tell him not to queue up for her at restaurants anymore.

If you're going to cut ties, cut them off completely.

Let Ye Zhou know his bottom line, and then he'll beg for her forgiveness.

And now.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

He was even more ruthless than I was.

So you're actually going to start pursuing someone else?

But he had always loved himself.

That love, even if unspoken, is evident in the eyes.

Seeing her sister like this, Susan, who was with her, couldn't help but try to comfort her.

"Jiayan, don't be angry! You almost fell into Ye Zhou's trap!"

“Analyze this carefully. Hasn’t Ye Zhou’s behavior been strange these past few days? He’s completely lost that crazy feeling he had before. Did this happen suddenly, in less than a day?”

Jiang Jiayan nodded slightly.

Susan continued, "No one can change that much overnight!"

I reasonably suspect that he must have learned some dating techniques online and is deliberately keeping you hanging on.

Jiang Jiayan's big, grape-like eyes widened in surprise. So that's how it is.

She almost fell into Ye Zhou's trap.

So what if I rejected his advances again?

What's the difference between this and all the previous times?

Is his self-esteem really that important?

Jiang Jiayan simply couldn't understand this man.

Ye Zhou and his group walked quickly with their long legs.

The two of them quickly found themselves near the front of the food line.
