Upon hearing the mention of being “closest,” a flicker of unease briefly crossed Shen Jun’s countenance. However, a sweet sensation welled up within his heart, and he found himself no longer harboring anger towards Wen Nian for keeping something hidden from him.

Wen Nian observed the noticeable softening of Shen Jun’s expression. She also took note of his previous words. It dawned on her that couples should avoid hiding too much from each other, as doing so would blur the distinction between being mere friends and being in a romantic relationship.

Nevertheless, delving into the topic of rebirth seemed implausible and unnecessary. Wen Nian gently took hold of Shen Jun’s arm and guided him towards the living room. “Let’s have a seat on the sofa. 1’11 explain what happened before,” she proposed.

An hour later, Wen Nian divulged every detail she could recall. As she recounted her past actions from their first year together, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of disdain towards her own behavior.

After saying that, Wen Nian felt a mixture of relief and concern.

Wen Nian cast her gaze downward, hesitant to meet Shen Jun’s eyes, fearing that she would encounter disappointment and disdain reflected in his gaze.

After a brief pause, just when Wen Nian was consumed by uneasiness, Shen Jun gently embraced her, pulling her into his arms.

Shen Jun’s calm voice resonated in her ears, comforting her. “Everyone makes mistakes at times, and what matters is that you’re making efforts to rectify the situation. Regardless of how others may attack you, 1 will always stand by your side.”

Wen Nian’s heart quivered slightly. Prior to this confession, Shen Jun had become the person who possessed the most intimate knowledge of her actions since her rebirth.

Following their in-depth conversation, Wen Nian once again experienced a profound sense of being chosen and valued. The feeling of having someone by her side during moments of solitude and vulnerability provided her with a profound sense of comfort and security.

Wen Nian lifted her head slightly, meeting Shen Jun’s gentle gaze as he lowered his head. “Thank you,” she uttered, gratitude and sincerity evident in her voice.

As Shen Jun gazed into Wen Nian’s eyes, he perceived her expressions of gratitude and politeness as mere formalities, treating him as an outsider. In response, he softly but assertively replied, “Don’t thank me in the future.”

Wen Nian chuckled. “Okay.”

Due to their early morning flight the next day, Shen Jun escorted Wen Nian home before 9 p.m. Reluctantly, they bid farewell behind a large tree downstairs, their parting filled with a tinge of sorrow.

“Can you stop following me?! I already said that I don’t like you. 1 just want to focus on studying. I’m not in the mood to date anyone.”

Wen Nian found the male voice familiar. She tilted her head and followed the voice. She realized that her brother was talking to a sweet-looking girl with a curvy figure.

Feng Li looked at Wen Yu, who wanted to chase her away, and felt defeated. She said angrily, “Does your family own this road? What right do you have to say that I’m following you? Can’t 1 be taking a walk here?”

Wen Yu gazed at Feng Li, who had been persistently pursuing him for the past half month, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness. He had never encountered someone as challenging and resistant as her before.

Other than enjoying a few days of peace and quiet when he went to the capital to prepare for the exam, Feng Li was like a little bird, chattering beside him all day.

Wen Yu possessed a striking appearance, with well-defined features, and excelled academically as a straight-A student. He had received numerous suitors, both from outside and inside the school, who quickly retreated after he firmly and coldly rejected them. However, unlike anyone else, Feng Li seemed to be the only one who persisted and caused such a commotion in his life. It was a level of persistence he had never experienced before.

As Wen Yu observed the pouting and irate girl standing before him, he couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh. “Fine, you can go wherever you please. However, I have one request. Please refrain from visiting my house again to avoid any misunderstandings with my parents. You would leave safely but I would receive a beating from my father!”

Feng Li looked at Wen Yu’s helplessness and frustration. She lowered her eyes to hide the sadness that surged up. Then, she looked up and smiled casually. “As long as you promise me one thing, I promise I won’t pester you anymore.” When Wen Yu heard this, he looked at Feng Li suspiciously. “Really? What is it?”

Ever since the incident on the forum, Wen Yu had deliberately kept a one-meter distance from Feng Li, which made it difficult for her to even complete the photo shoot, leading to further misunderstandings.

Despite Shen Jun’s absence from Hai City and his lack of inquiries about her situation, Feng Li felt a sense of urgency and couldn’t afford to delay matters any longer. With today being the last day before the holidays, she knew she had to seize this final opportunity.

Feng Li looked at Wen Yu and said seriously, “My treat. Accompany me to the amusement park for a day tomorrow. 1 promise 1 won’t pester you anymore.” Wen Yu’s eyes lit up. He would even agree to two days, let alone one!

“No problem! Then it’s settled. You’re not allowed to go back on your word!”

Feng Li looked at Wen Yu’s happy expression and felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle. However, she still smiled and said, “We agreed to meet at the entrance of Changhu Amusement Park at nine tomorrow morning..”
