the next morning.

Kyoto Institute of Technology.

Chen Mo, wearing a black cashmere coat over a matching turtleneck sweater, walked into the school gate alone.

Universities nowadays don't have access restrictions, so basically anyone can come and go as they please.

Now Chen Mo is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a straight back and a youthful face. Although his face still has some youthful innocence, he is very composed in his every move and has an extraordinary temperament. As he walks along, he attracts the attention of many girls who pass by.

Some guessed he was a freshman, while others thought he looked more like a young manager from a company recruiting.

Chen Mo didn't care at all. He walked through the teaching area with ease, preparing to go directly to Chen Jing's dormitory building to give her a surprise.

But just as I passed the small square in front of the library, a familiar figure came into view.

The face he had imagined instantly appeared before his eyes, and Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.

Wen Zhixia.

A beige long down jacket did not conceal her figure; on the contrary, it made her look even more alluring.

Her long, black hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, and she wore gold-rimmed glasses on her nose. She was quiet and gentle, with a strong scholarly air about her.

But at this moment, her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed.

Standing in front of her was a young man in his early twenties.

The boy wasn't very tall, and he was wearing an expensive blue down jacket. His hair was meticulously styled, and he was holding a steaming cup of milk tea.

His name was Lu You.

A native of Kyoto, from a well-off family, and with some seniority-based relationship with the Wen family.

Although Lu You liked Wen Zhixia, he never had the courage to express it and only dared to appear in front of her occasionally through the relationship between their families.

But a month ago, he somehow found a so-called "Love Success Guide".

The core theory in the book can be summed up in just five words.

A good woman is afraid of a persistent suitor.

After reading it, Lu You felt as if he had found a treasure, as if he had suddenly unlocked his full potential.

Since then, various tactics have been employed, such as delivering breakfast, reserving seats, waiting for students to finish class, delivering milk tea, and creating chance encounters.

As long as Wen Zhixia didn't explicitly turn against him, he felt he still had hope.

"Zhixia, I specially asked the staff to make this milk tea, with 30% sugar and it should be warm."

Lu You pushed the milk tea forward, his face full of anticipation.

"No need, thank you."

Wen Zhixia silently took a step to the side.

Lu You immediately followed.

"Are you free at noon? A new Western restaurant opened near the school, and I've already made a reservation. Don't you prefer a quiet place? I specifically reserved the second floor."

"I have an appointment with someone at noon."

"And what about tonight?"

"I have things to do tonight too."

"It's alright, tomorrow is fine too." Lu You was not discouraged at all. "I can go whenever you have time."

Wen Zhixia paused in her steps.

She has always had a good temper; even when she is impatient, she usually gives others face.

Besides, the Lu family and the Wen family had some dealings, and the two had met a few times when they were children. She really couldn't say anything too harsh in public.

For the past month, Lu You has been creating various ways to meet people almost every day.

Even the best temper will soon be worn away.

Lu You.

Wen Zhixia turned around and said patiently, "I've already made myself very clear. You don't need to come to see me every day, and you don't need to prepare these things for me."

"I see."

Lu You nodded vigorously, but there was no sign of giving up on his face.

"You just don't know me well enough yet. Feelings take time to develop, I won't force you, I'll just give you time."

Wen Zhixia opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to refute it.

She suspected that Lu You wasn't unable to understand, but rather only wanted to hear what he wanted to hear.

Just then, she looked over Lu You's shoulder and saw Chen Mo walking towards her from the other end of the tree-lined path.

Wen Zhixia was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, the eyes behind the lenses lit up.

Chen Mo?

Chen Jing's younger brother? Here to see Chen Jing?

She never expected to run into him at school today; their last meeting had left a deep impression on her.

More importantly, he arrived at the perfect time.

Wen Zhixia glanced at Lu You, who was still rambling on, and then looked at Chen Mo, who was gradually approaching.

She blinked twice, then ignored Lu You and walked straight towards Chen Mo.

"Chen Mo."

Her voice was filled with obvious surprise.

Lu You's expression froze instantly.

He had been pursuing Wen Zhixia for so long, and this was the first time he had ever seen her take the initiative to walk towards a boy.

Moreover, she had a smile on her face.

Lu You turned his head and looked Chen Mo up and down.

Young, tall, dressed maturely, and very good-looking.

However, judging from that still somewhat immature face, he is most likely a freshman?

Although Lu You felt somewhat uncomfortable, he didn't take it too seriously.

"Sister Zhixia."

Chen Mo stopped and looked at Wen Zhixia's face.

Compared to the last time we met, she didn't seem to have changed much; she still had that delicate and fragile appearance that made you want to protect her at all times.

However, at this moment, there was a clear hint of pleading and cunning in her eyes.

Chen Mo instantly understood what she meant; she was preparing to use him as a shield.

He was all too familiar with this kind of scene.

In her past life, Wen Zhixia and her sister Chen Jing were best friends who could talk about anything.

After graduating from university, Chen Mo came to work in Kyoto and often met with them.

Wen Zhixia is never short of suitors, but she is not good at making relationships too strained. So whenever she encounters a difficult person, she will pull Chen Mo out to shield her.

At first, it was a fake chance encounter; later, it was a fake appointment.

Later, she would even naturally take his arm and say to her suitors, "Sorry, I already have someone I like."

As time goes on, things gradually change.

However, in his previous life, Chen Mo was in the most difficult stage of the capital market, struggling to survive every day.

Wen Zhixia comes from a wealthy family, is intelligent and beautiful, and is always the brightest presence in a crowd, no matter where she stands.

It's not that he doesn't understand her feelings, he just doesn't dare to look at them directly.

Later, that unspoken relationship was eventually buried by time and became a source of regret.

Unexpectedly, the same scene appeared again after being reborn.
