“503 yuan transferred via WeChat”.

Click to confirm receipt of payment.

The money has arrived.

Just block him.

Ye Zhou was in a good mood as the wind blew on his way home.

Fortunately, he was reborn and did not repeat the same mistakes. Now there are many things he can change.

Family, friends, those he truly needs to care about.

That messed-up life will drift further and further away from him.

The wind chimes tinkled, producing a clear and melodious sound.

He looked up casually and found himself standing under a large willow tree not far from the school.

The willow trees were adorned with wind chimes and red ribbons.

This grove of trees not far from the school is a popular meeting place for young men and women.

Moreover, it is said that this willow tree is particularly efficacious, and wishes made to it will come true.

Many people call it that.

Wishing tree.

However, no one believed it after that.

Because half of the tree was covered with red ribbons from the leaf boat.

His wish was never fulfilled...

For example, Jiang Jiayan will definitely agree to the 45th confession!

Jiang Jiayan will definitely agree to my 46th confession!

...

This is my 98th confession. I'm sure Jiang Jiayan will be moved. Wishing tree, grant me strength! In God's name, bless me!

Until the 99th time.

By sheer chance, he single-handedly dispelled superstition...

Ye Zhou looked up at the red ribbons that fluttered in the wind like strands of hair.

I felt an overwhelming sense of irony.

He's not just a simp.

He's also a romantic.

"Meow……"

"Meow..."

"Meow meow meow..."

...

Go around to the back of the willow tree, and you'll find a nest of kittens under it.

Four orange kittens lay in a soft nest, their eyes still closed.

It rubbed against the orange cat's belly, bit by bit.

That warm nest

It was a birthday gift Ye Zhou gave to Jiang Jiayan one year...

The pink hat he knitted by hand, stitch by stitch, left his ten fingers riddled with holes.

Now, it's so dirty that you can hardly tell its original color anymore...

Jiang Jiayan is really kind-hearted!

Not just this hat.

He also gave her jewelry and precious stones, which he had saved up from his monthly salary.

After this year's birthday, it's time to prepare a birthday gift for her next year.

Ye Zhou is an example of someone who's truly devoted to someone.

He can no longer be called a simp...

...

"Ye Zhou, don't wait for me anymore. I won't be walking with you anymore."

Ye Zhou turned around under the tree and saw Jiang Jiayan walking over with a boy who had a smug smile on his face.

The boy's name was Huo Guang. To be fair, he was good-looking, about 180 cm tall, and dressed in a leather jacket and pants, exuding a thuggish air.

He comes from a wealthy family and is very arrogant and disobedient to teachers at school.

He is one of Jiang Jiayan's many admirers.

Having understood what he meant, Ye Zhou couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Did Jiang Jiayan actually think he was waiting for her?

Why did she assume that he would still be standing there if she turned around?

Huo Guang's face was practically splitting open with laughter.

In the past, Ye Zhou practically fawned over Jiang Jiayan from every angle, and he never had a chance to get close to her.

"Ye Zhou, did you hear that? Why aren't you leaving? Do you want to watch the school beauty walk away with me?"

Jiang Jiayan had already predicted Ye Zhou's next move.

Jiang Jiayan did this on purpose to provoke him.

She knew how to make Ye Zhou the most heartbroken.

Before, Ye Zhou would follow behind her after school, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Jiang Jiayan knew how much of a blessing her mere presence was to Ye Zhou.

After all, many people find it difficult to even see her.

She thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.

I feel loved.

A simple thank you was enough to make Ye Zhou silently follow her; that was the girl's blessing.

What if she doesn't even want Ye Zhou to take her home now?

Ye Zhou will definitely go crazy!

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiayan smiled again.

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."

Ye Zhou walked past Jiang Jiayan with lazy steps.

Jiang Jiayan's smile vanished without a trace in an instant.

She couldn't help but turn around and shout loudly at Ye Zhou:

"Ye Zhou, your home is over there, which way are you going? Even if you're angry, there's no need to stay away from home!"

Jiang Jiayan's heart was pounding violently, as if someone had grabbed her heart and was about to crush it.

"Who cares what he does? Let's go!" Huo Guang reached out to grab the school beauty's arm, but missed.

Jiang Jiayan stubbornly stared at Ye Zhou's lush figure.

He stopped walking, revealing a sharply defined profile, his voice as melodious as silk and bamboo instruments.

Clear, yet harmful.

"That was never my way home..."

...

His way home was never the same one; it was always the opposite of Jiang Jiayan's.

He had seen Jiang Jiayan being bullied on the street one day.

The girl's frail body was utterly powerless to resist, and crystal tears streamed down her face...

Ye Zhou was a good student; he had never learned how to fight.

Seeing his beloved girl cry,

They went up there without hesitation.

Finally, he successfully scared away the seven or eight people by using his blood-covered face...

At that time, Jiang Jiayan said, "Thank you, Ye Zhou."

He was lying on the ground, grinning foolishly.

The girl he loved spoke to him.

Like a wretched dog...

He received thirty stitches at the hospital and lay in bed for less than a month before being discharged against all odds.

From then on, I kept a five-meter distance from Jiang Jiayan after school.

He secretly vowed that he would never let her cry again.

Jiang Jiayan never visited him even once while he was hospitalized.

Unrequited love is just a one-person show.

It's intoxicating, but ultimately fruitless...

...

Watching Ye Zhou's departing figure, Jiang Jiayan's mind went completely blank.

"Alright, let's go."

Huo Guang reached out quickly this time and finally grabbed the girl's slender wrist.

But the next second, he was forcefully thrown away.

"Who said I was going to go with you!"

Jiang Jiayan puffed out her cheeks and walked forward alone.

Huo Guang stared blankly at the girl's pink skirt fluttering in the wind.

"Hey, isn't it you who said you wanted to come with me? I'll take you home and protect you!"

The girl turned her head and glared fiercely at Huo Guang.

"Don't follow me!"
