He lowered his head and just focused on his meal!

It was as if the people around him had nothing to do with him.

Lin Yuhan watched as he ate, devouring his food like he wished he could shove his face into the food container. It was as if "no woman could compare to the deliciousness of food!"

Lin Yuhan: "..."

Is she really that unattractive?

Is she even less appealing than a bowl of crab stir-fried rice cakes?!

She's upset!

Yet someone remains blissfully unaware, still enjoying his meal!

So frustrating~

If it weren't for me chasing after you all the time, you'd be destined to be single for the rest of your life!

"Ah... satisfying..."

After finishing his meal, Yan Ming let out a satisfied sigh.

It was only then that he remembered his childhood friend sitting beside him.

Seeing her looking unhappy, he said rather helplessly, "Yuhan, tell me, why do you insist on following me around? You don't seem happy when you do, aren't you just making things difficult for yourself? And didn't you say you wouldn't attend the same school as me? Why are you here at my school?"

"Do you really think my academic ability wouldn't get me into Lijiang University? I deliberately failed the entrance exam just so I could go to college with you! The reason I said I wouldn't attend the same school was to surprise you."

Lin Yuhan blinked and mischievously said, "Well? Surprised or not?"

Yan Ming thought to himself: It's more like shock!

"Surprised..."

He forced a smile, and then curiously asked, "But why would you deliberately fail the exam and wait to attend college with me? What's your intention? Haven't you bullied me enough over the years? Do you now want to keep bullying me in college?"

Hmph~

This is really a man who doesn't understand romance!

When will your blockhead open up?

She pouted: My heart is crying~

"What does your pout mean? Am I not telling the truth?"

She lightly bit the corner of her lip and finally spoke out the words she'd been keeping in her heart for a long time: "Are you stupid... Can't you see that I like you?"

"You like me? How can that be? It's nice enough if you don't bully me when you see me, and you like me?" Yan Ming's face was full of "Are you kidding me" expressions.

She solemnly nodded, her tone extremely affirmative: "Yan Ming, I really like you!"

Yan Ming, who had never seen her so serious since they were young, was half-believing and asked, "Since when did you start liking me?"

"It was during that holiday, after I fell into the water and you saved me, that's when I started liking you..."

After she mentioned it, he finally remembered that incident...

That holiday.

He and a few classmates had planned to go play by the river.

Coincidentally enough... she and a few female friends were also by the river.

And so, they ran into each other by chance.

"Yan Ming, Yan Ming, look!!"

"Girls!!"

Yan Ming frowned and had no interest in dealing with them.

Making a fuss over nothing!

His classmates, still surprised, said: "Hey... these girls look familiar, aren't they seniors from our school? One of them seems to be your childhood friend..."

"I'm going over there..." Before his classmate finished speaking, Yan Ming had already averted his gaze, with hands in his pockets, and went to play in a place just a bit farther from her.

No intention to pay attention to her!

Lin Yuhan turned her head to watch Yan Ming's retreating figure.

"Yuhan, what are you looking at?"

Her female friend sat on a rock by the river, reaching out, creating beautiful arcs with water droplets that splattered like stars falling onto Yuhan.

"Oh, so you're attacking me with water... just you wait..."

She turned sideways to splash the river water,

and the girls began playing with water by the river, having fun.

The other boys left by the river watched with keen interest, occasionally discussing who they thought was prettier.

"Damn, this one is amazing, this girl is really pretty..."

"She's one of the prettiest girls I've seen, definitely on par with those in Lanbo Bay!!"

"This girl is just perfect!"

"I think the one with the bangs looks quite nice!"

At this moment, Lin Yuhan carelessly slipped, "splash..." and fell into the water.

Her classmates next to her were startled, stopped what they were doing, and shouted loudly: "Ah... not good... Yuhan fell into the water..."

"Ah... it's Yuhan, someone quickly help... quickly save Yuhan..." Several other girls panicked, their cries echoing across the riverside.

But no one around went to rescue Lin Yuhan.

"Yuhan? Fell into the water?"

Hearing this, Yan Ming didn't think twice and quickly ran toward the direction where she fell.

Only to see Lin Yuhan, who wasn't skilled in swimming, struggling on the water's surface, but sinking even deeper as a result.

The river water rushed into her nostrils and mouth, eager to fill her up.

"Oh no..."

In a hurry, Yan Ming jumped into the river and swam toward Lin Yuhan.

His clothes, shoes, and phone were forgotten.

"Be careful, Yan Ming!" shouted a shocked classmate.

Lin Yuhan's mind went blank, her vision and consciousness slowly blurring.

Just before she sank into darkness, she seemed to see someone, glowing with light. She instinctively reached toward the light, feeling the familiar aura, and allowed herself to sink into the darkness...

At this moment, Yan Ming dragged her out, supporting her shoulder with one hand and paddling with the other to bring her to the riverside.

All the female classmates breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Ming helped bring Lin Yuhan to the riverbank, where a female classmate immediately helped pull her up.

She had fainted.

Her belly was swollen, evidently having swallowed a lot of water.

Yan Ming helped press on her abdomen, forcing a lot of water out.

Lin Yuhan coughed violently and slowly regained consciousness.

Upon seeing Yan Ming and others, she immediately burst into tears.

Exhausted, Yan Ming sat by the riverbank, cursing her: "What were you doing by the river if you can't swim? Do you have a death wish?"

Shivering and pale, she just looked at him silently, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Honestly, at that moment, he felt quite satisfied because it was the first time he scolded her loudly, and she didn't dare to talk back.

It seemed from that day on, she stopped bullying him.

Gradually, she became extra nice to him...

Turns out, she started liking him back then!

What on earth is all this~

Yan Ming slapped his forehead in exasperation.

"Yan Ming, I love you, can you be my boyfriend?" Having confessed, she no longer hid her feelings and boldly declared her love.

I saw you as a rival, but you want me to be your boyfriend!

No way!

What does it feel like to be confessed to by a familiar childhood friend you've played with since you were young?

Yan Ming had no idea how others felt.

But he knew for sure that right now, he was panicking!

Unsure whether to accept or not!

"It's too sudden, I'm not ready, I can't!"

"I understand your feigned reluctance, you understand my hidden intentions, we both know, yet stubbornly refuse to admit it."

"I don't, stop making things up!"

"You do!"

"Just give up! No matter what, I won't let you have me."

"Just wait and see, I will definitely marry you, there's no escaping my grasp this lifetime."

Yan Ming: "..."

The forest is huge, why do you insist on hanging yourself on this crooked tree that is me...
