My sister never calls me brother.

As it turns out, Zhou Han was right.

West Lake Park is the largest artificial lake park in Zhongqing City. It boasts beautiful scenery and is a famous romantic spot, attracting couples from many cities.

To be honest, this was Zhou Han's first time here. Although he had lived in this city for seventeen years and knew this place, he never came here before because there were too many couples, and he didn't want to be subjected to their displays of affection...

Vanity or pride, who would dare come here if they didn't have a girlfriend?

At this moment, Zhou Han was standing awkwardly at the door, receiving the stares of passing couples.

Why did we choose this place to meet? Couldn't we have chosen a more normal spot? Zhou Han glanced at her watch, wondering to herself, "Ten minutes have passed, why hasn't Lin Nianwei arrived yet? Am I being stood up...?"

Watching the couples passing by, Zhou Han could only pretend to look at the scenery around her to hide her embarrassment.

A taxi stopped at the entrance of West Lake Park. A young woman in a white dress and high-heeled sandals got out; it was Lin Nianwei, whom Zhou Han had been waiting for.

Today, Lin Nianwei styled her hair into a long ponytail, looking meticulously dressed and more radiant than ever before.

A gentle breeze from late summer swept by, slightly lifting the hem of Lin Nianwei's skirt, momentarily eclipsing the surrounding scenery.

She tucked a few strands of hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, behind her ear, looked around, and saw Zhou Han.

From the moment Lin Nianwei got out of the car, Zhou Han had caught his eye. His heart fluttered inexplicably, but not noticeably, perhaps because they were so familiar with each other...

Lin Nianwei walked over and said, "What a coincidence, to meet you here."

"What's so coincidental?" Zhou Han was stunned for a moment, then said, "Wasn't it the note you left for me?"

"I wouldn't do such a thing," Lin Nianwei said expressionlessly.

"You forgot so quickly?" Zhou Han was completely bewildered.

"You must be mistaken," Lin Nianwei said.

"I'll show you the note from yesterday," Zhou Han said, taking out the tissue from yesterday.

"You...remembered...wrong, didn't you?" Lin Nianwei said, enunciating each word clearly, her eyes sharpening.

Zhou Han was startled by Lin Nianwei's appearance. Her expression froze, and she silently put the tissue back in her pocket, nodded, and said, "Yeah, I remembered wrong. What a coincidence to run into you here..."

Lin Nianwei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhou Han finally understood, because it's usually the boy who makes the invitation to the girl. Yesterday, she took the initiative to invite Zhou Han, which showed that she had already let go of a lot of her reserve.

But Lin Nianwei would never admit that she had invited Zhou Han, because admitting it would make her seem too weak.

"Is there something you need?" Zhou Han asked.

“Um…” Lin Nianwei paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, “There’s a junior high school reunion here today…”

"Hmm?" Zhou Han frowned and asked, "Why did you invite me to your junior high school reunion? We didn't go to the same junior high school, did we?"

"The party said that everyone had to bring a companion, girls bring boys, and boys bring girls." Lin Nianwei blushed.

"Uh..." Zhou Han was speechless. To be honest, he didn't want to go. He thought it would be too much trouble. It would be fine if he knew the people there, but it would be awkward if he didn't...

"Will you come with me?" Lin Nianwei asked, blushing.

Zhou Han was silent for a moment, scratched her hair, and said, "I don't really want to go, it doesn't really concern me..."

Lin Nianwei lowered her head in disappointment. All her determination from last night had been wasted in an instant. If Zhou Han didn't go, she couldn't force him; she couldn't bring herself to speak.

“But it seems you can’t find any other male companions besides me, so…” Zhou Han frowned, scratched his head, and said—

Even if it's awkward, I have to grit my teeth and keep going for your sake...

Chapter Fifty-Eight Elementary School Classmates

Lin Nianwei's heart pounded, especially when she heard Zhou Han say "for you," which made her heart flutter.

She knew that with Zhou Han's emotional intelligence, those three words were meaningless and just something he said casually, but Lin Nianwei was still very touched.

It's extremely rare to hear such profound words from Zhou Han's mouth.

Lin Nianwei lowered her head, appearing unusually shy, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Thank...thank you..."

"Hey—" Zhou Han's voice suddenly came from behind, "What are you standing there for? Let's go..."

Lin Nianwei was stunned for a moment. She looked up and found that Zhou Han was no longer in front of her. When she looked back, he had already walked far away and was waving to her.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Han asked, puzzled, sensing that Lin Nianwei was acting strangely.

"It's nothing..." Lin Nianwei replied irritably and followed.

In West Lake Park, couples strolled hand in hand, oblivious to their surroundings, displaying their affection.

However, two strange people, Zhou Han and Lin Nianwei, appeared in the park, attracting curious glances from passersby.

Although the two were walking side by side, they were far apart, like strangers.

Zhou Han was completely oblivious to the stares of those around him, walking ahead without a care in the world. He had no idea where the class reunion was being held, nor was he afraid of getting lost.

Lin Nianwei looked at Zhou Han with a hint of resentment, thinking, "Can't he stay a little closer to me? There are couples all here, can't he be a little more considerate?"

Lin Nianwei hoped that Zhou Han would discover this problem soon.

But after a while, Zhou Han showed no sign of moving any closer to him.

Lin Nianwei was really overthinking it. She realized that expecting Zhou Han to notice her thoughts for the first time was practically impossible.

Unable to contain her desire any longer, Lin Nianwei stopped and said, "Zhou Han, can't you come a little closer to me?"

"Why...why?" Zhou Han stopped and turned around to ask.

Why? Is that even a question? Of course, it's to avoid embarrassment... Lin Nianwei thought helplessly to herself.

"Everyone here is a couple, it's weird for you and me to be like this," Lin Nianwei said calmly.

"It's okay, I don't mind..." Zhou Han waved his hand.

"You..." Lin Nianwei hesitated, thinking to herself, if you don't care, do you think I won't care?

"What is it now?" Zhou Han frowned.

“Before the party ends, you and I will pretend to be lovers,” Lin Nianwei said.

"Why?!" Zhou Han was startled, thinking she had misheard.

"There's no reason why," Lin Nianwei said expressionlessly.

"If you have no objections, then do as you please..." Zhou Han felt a little embarrassed, thinking to herself, why is a class reunion so complicated?

"Now that we're lovers, you need to stay closer to me," Lin Nianwei said, looking at Zhou Han.

"Like this?" Zhou Han tentatively took a step towards Lin Nianwei.

"Closer," Lin Nianwei said.

"Like this?" Zhou Han took another step toward Lin Nianwei.

"That's fine." Lin Nianwei nodded.

Zhou Han breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go then."

The two walked very close together, looking just like a couple. Except for the boy's shifty eyes and the girl's slightly nervous blushing, everything else seemed harmonious.

Zhou Han was also a little nervous because Lin Nianwei was so close to him, and the scent of her perfume would occasionally irritate his sense of smell. He wondered to himself, "Why did I get nervous when we were close as children, even when we were together? It's so strange..."

Zhou Han, who lacks emotional intelligence, doesn't realize that this inexplicable nervousness only arises when a boy cares deeply about a girl.

Lin Nianwei blushed slightly and looked away. She hadn't been this close to Zhou Han in a long time, and a unique aura of a teenage boy wafted over her, making her heart flutter.

She looked at Zhou Han's hand, wanting to take it, but felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she chose a compromise.

Lin Nianwei looked at the cuffs of Zhou Han's coat and boldly grabbed them.

If you don't look closely, it looks like the two are holding hands.

"Huh!?" Zhou Han was taken aback.

"No...don't misunderstand, this makes it more convincing to act like lovers." Lin Nianwei tried her best to keep her expression serious so that Zhou Han wouldn't notice anything amiss, but her face still couldn't help but blush.

“Okay… alright…” Zhou Han replied awkwardly.

Lin Nianwei's actions made Zhou Han even more nervous, and he didn't dare to turn around and look at her.

The park is filled with maple trees, which have already begun to turn yellow. A gentle breeze rustles through them, drowning out many of the sounds of youth.

The girl held onto the boy's sleeve as they walked along the path—

The two arrived at the green area in West Lake Park, a place where many people gather for picnics.

As soon as I arrived, a short-haired girl waved and ran over.

"Xiaowei, you're here! I thought you weren't coming..." The short-haired girl smiled and said, "Everyone's basically here..."

"Sorry I'm late," Lin Nianwei said.

Zhou Han stared at the short-haired girl, his whole body trembling with shock. He recognized her; she was Chen Qing, the labor committee member from elementary school. He never expected that she and Lin Nianwei would go to the same junior high school…

Because Zhou Han was a habitual offender who skipped his chores at elementary school, his relationship with Chen Qing was not very harmonious.

Chen Qing glanced at the companions Lin Nianwei had brought and immediately recognized Zhou Han.

"Who is he?" Although Chen Qing recognized Zhou Han, she still asked this question on purpose.

"I'm Zhou Han, my elementary school classmate. Don't you remember me?" Zhou Han replied.

"I'm sorry~" Chen Qing said with a regretful look, "I don't remember you being in my elementary school..."

"Uh..." Zhou Han was speechless, thinking to himself, this pretentious acting must be intentional, right?

"Never mind..." Chen Qing waved his hand, looked curiously at Zhou Han and Lin Nianwei, and said, "What are you two doing now..."

"Lover." Lin Nianwei answered without hesitation; she knew what Chen Qing wanted to say.

"What..." Chen Qing frowned, thinking he had misheard.

"Lover," Lin Nianwei repeated.

"Uh..." Chen Qing was struck dumb, finding it hard to believe. Although she knew that the two of them had a good relationship when they were young, she had heard that they had a fight and broke off their friendship. How did they get back together in high school?

Zhou Han was filled with questions as she looked at Chen Qing's reaction.

Chen Qing glanced at Zhou Han, thinking, "How could Lin Nianwei be interested in him? He's not even handsome. How many of those guys came here today for Lin Nianwei? If they knew about this, would they all try to commit suicide?"

"Since we're here, let's go together..." Chen Qing said helplessly.

Chen Qing served as class monitor in junior high school and was very familiar with the relationships between classmates. Because of this, she was able to get along very well in junior high school and was one of the very few people who were not overshadowed by Lin Nianwei's brilliance.
