Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

The car slowly came to a stop. Su Fengnan unbuckled her seatbelt, but did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Zhou Chenyu and said, "Brother Zhou, I'm going now."

Zhou Chenyu rested one hand on the steering wheel, his gaze falling on the gift she had carefully chosen, and smiled gently: "Go on, have fun, I'll come pick you up in a bit."

"Okay." Su Fengnan waved to him, picked up the gift box, and got out of the car.

Following the address, Su Fengnan found Zhang Xinrui's house without much trouble. It was a ground-floor apartment with a small yard. Through the fence, she could see Zhang Xinrui laughing and taking pictures with several classmates on the lawn.

Su Fengnan raised her hand and pressed the doorbell. Zhang Xinrui turned around at the sound, her gaze falling on Su Fengnan standing at the door. Seeing Su Fengnan's long hair flowing over her shoulders and her khaki trench coat, her eyes lit up. Lifting the hem of her flowing princess dress, she cheerfully went to greet her: "Fengnan, you're here!"

Zhang Xinrui deftly opened the iron gate, and Su Fengnan handed her the gift, saying gently, "Happy Birthday!"

"Thank you! Come in, come in!" Zhang Xinrui happily accepted the gift, pulled Su Fengnan inside, and couldn't help but curiously shake the box in her hand, "What's this? Can I open it now?"

"Of course." Su Fengnan nodded with a smile.

Zhang Xinrui then called out to the students on the lawn, "You guys keep taking pictures, I'll be right back!" After saying that, she led Su Fengnan through the living room and headed straight for her room.

In the room, Zhang Xinrui eagerly opened the gift box. Inside was an exquisite scented candle. She picked it up, brought it close to her nose, and looked up in surprise: "Fengnan, how did you know I liked this scent? I really love it, thank you!"

Setting down the candle, she picked up the small jewelry box beside her, gently opened it, and a pair of exquisite flower bead earrings instantly came into view. "Feng Nan, these are so beautiful! I really love them."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Xinrui put down the earring she was holding, turned around, and hugged Su Fengnan tightly. "Thank you. I'm already so happy you came, why did you bring such an expensive gift?"

Su Fengnan was slightly stiffened by her sudden hug, then laughed and teased, "Okay, let go of me first, I'm not indiscriminate about men and women, you know."

"Haha, okay." Zhang Xinrui laughed and let go of his hand.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the road, Zhang Wenhao had just picked up his classmate Sun Zile from the airport and was driving towards Zhang Xinrui's house.

"Wenhao, what's going on here, a complete stranger like me suddenly showing up to celebrate your sister's birthday?" Sun Zile asked from the passenger seat.

"What's the big deal? You met my sister three years ago too," Zhang Wenhao said casually, gripping the steering wheel.

Sun Zile was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh! It's that little girl who dances so well?"

"Yeah, back when she went to Kyoto for a competition, we even made a special trip to watch her there. You've already forgotten?"

"Oh dear, I need to prepare a gift for her. It would be too embarrassing to go empty-handed," Sun Zile said anxiously.

"What are those pile of things you put in the back seat of my car? Any one of them would be presentable!"

Sun Zile glanced back at the bags of toys piled up in the back seat, reached in and pulled out a model car, asking hesitantly, "Do you think your sister would like something like this?"

"Um... I guess so," Zhang Wenhao replied vaguely.

As they were talking, Zhang Wenhao's car had already come to a smooth stop in the parking lot of Zhang Xinrui's residential complex.

Meanwhile, at Zhang Xinrui's home, Zhang's mother saw that almost all the relatives and friends had arrived, so she smiled and asked Zhang Xinrui to invite everyone to sit down and prepare for the meal.

There weren't many guests today, but they were all close friends. Zhang Xinrui invited several of her closest classmates, as well as relatives who were also very close family members, plus a few of her parents' best friends, making a total of about twenty people.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Wenhao arrived late with his grandson, Le. Without making a sound, Zhang Wenhao led Le to sit down at the table with relatives and friends. Seeing that everyone was present, Mr. Zhang slowly stood up with a smile, looked around at the assembled relatives and friends, and raised his glass to everyone: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come and witness my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. Today, I have prepared a simple meal and drinks; please don't be shy, and enjoy yourselves."

As Mr. Zhang finished speaking, the birthday banquet officially began. The table was set with authentic Zhucheng delicacies, and everyone toasted each other, chatting casually. The atmosphere was relaxed yet lively.

Sun Zile calmly surveyed the room, his gaze suddenly pausing when it swept over Zhang Xinrui—the girl sitting next to her…

His pupils contracted slightly, a strange sense of familiarity rising within him. Without thinking, he leaned close to Zhang Wenhao's ear and whispered, "Is that girl next to your sister her classmate?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhao followed his gaze and looked up, then shook his head, his tone filled with respect: "She's not a classmate, she's her best friend. Besides, she's my sister's savior."

"What's her name?" Sun Zile's tone revealed a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.

Zhang Wenhao keenly noticed this unusual behavior, and a playful smile curled at the corner of his lips: "What, you've taken a fancy to that girl?"

Sun Zile glared at him irritably, but a smile was hidden in his eyes: "Is everyone like you, falling in love with every girl they see? I just think... she reminds me of someone I know."

Seeing his strong reaction, Zhang Wenhao stopped teasing him and casually introduced her, "Her name is Su Fengnan, and she's a senior in high school..."

Upon hearing the name "Su Fengnan," Sun Zile's eyes nearly overflowed with joy, and his fingers gripping the wine glass tightened slightly with excitement. He tried his best to suppress the urge to immediately get up and confirm, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Sun Zile didn't hear a word of what Zhang Wenhao said after that; his mind was filled with only one thought—after all this time, the person he was looking for was actually right in front of him.

Actually, Sun Zile's visit to Zhucheng was ostensibly to inspect the completion of the Hope Primary School. He had brought a trunk full of exquisite toy car models to give to the children in the mountains—after all, the money Su Fengnan had asked him to donate was earmarked for the construction of this Hope Primary School in the mountainous region of Guizhou Province.

It is now November, and the school was successfully completed at the end of October. The children have all moved into their spacious and bright new classrooms. This major donor's trip was partly to see the new look of the school and the children with his own eyes, but more importantly, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to find the benefactor who had saved his life but whom he had never met.
