Join the ServerAfter changing into a new outfit, Xu Sui’an tied her silky hair into a cute bun.
She looked obedient, adorable, and full of playful charm.
Wasn’t this exactly how the original story ended?
Missing out on Shi Yubai…
And regretting it for the rest of her life.
Countless iconic scenes flashed through her mind like scenes from a movie.
Zero Degree Bar was the first major turning point.
It was where Ruan Qingqing first appeared before Shi Yubai.
Her cute bun hairstyle.
Her breathtaking face.
A custom-made white dress.
Beautiful.
Gentle.
Elegant.
Ruan Qingyang would help them add each other on WeChat.
Tonight…
Everything began here.
Xu Sui’an looked at herself in the mirror.
Her sleepy-looking eyes.
Her peach-colored lips.
As the vicious supporting female character…
The male lead’s childhood sweetheart and first love…
Her beauty had always been top-tier.
Her flawless figure.
Her long, slender legs hidden beneath the dress, inviting endless imagination.
The flowing red dress made her snow-white skin stand out even more.
The foxtail grass ring on her right hand was impossible to ignore.
‘Ruan Qingqing…’
‘I wonder…’
‘Will you still appear at Zero Degree tonight?’
Leng Ningxue and Shen Meng stared at the twirling Xu Sui’an in amazement.
“Whose little fairy is this?”
“I want to steal you home.”
“You finally put on makeup!”
“Oh my God.”
“You’re going to make Campus Prince Shi completely lose his mind.”
Shen Meng reached out and pinched Xu Sui’an’s soft cheek.
The touch was simply irresistible.
‘Even I can’t resist pinching her…’
‘How could Shi Yubai possibly resist?’
‘I’m so jealous.’
‘That guy really hit the jackpot.’
Xu Sui’an shot Shen Meng a soft glare.
It carried absolutely no intimidation.
“I belong to Xiaobai.”
Thinking about Shen Meng’s ending in the novel made Xu Sui’an sigh inwardly.
Shen Meng had secretly loved the third-year genius and campus heartthrob, He Nanzhou, for seven years.
She never dared to get close to him.
Even now…
She didn’t even have his WeChat.
Just secretly catching a glimpse of him was enough to make her happy for half a day.
The sketchbook she treasured…
Was filled entirely with portraits of He Nanzhou.
When Xu Sui’an died in the original story…
Shen Meng was still single.
She wondered whether her friend had ever managed to let go.
Fortunately…
He Nanzhou would also be at Zero Degree tonight.
He was one of Shi Yubai’s closest friends.
“Mengmeng.”
“Put on your prettiest makeup.”
“Your dream guy will be there too.”
Shen Meng’s eyes lit up instantly.
Even the comb in her hand fell onto the dressing table.
“R-Really?”
Chaos erupted inside her heart.
She wanted to see him.
Yet she was afraid to.
She feared that once they met…
The longing she’d kept buried for years would become impossible to suppress.
She also worried she wouldn’t leave a good first impression.
Xu Sui’an felt sorry for her.
Normally, Shen Meng was cheerful and confident.
Yet simply hearing the name “He Nanzhou” threw her into complete panic.
“Mengmeng.”
“You’ve secretly loved him for seven years.”
“And he knows absolutely nothing.”
“It’s time you stood in front of him.”
“What if…”
“He just happens to like you too?”
“You’ve placed him on too high a pedestal.”
“If you like someone…”
“You have to fight for them.”
“If you never tell him…”
“How could he ever know someone has loved him silently for seven years?”
Resting her chin in her hands, Leng Ningxue smiled.
“He Nanzhou is really lucky.”
“To have someone like you secretly loving him for seven years.”
“I wonder…”
“Is he even worthy of your feelings?”
“At least try getting closer to him.”
“Even if things don’t work out…”
“You won’t have any regrets.”
“But if you keep hiding inside your shell…”
“You and your beloved Campus Prince He…”
“Will only end up missing each other.”
“You’ve hidden him inside your heart for far too long.”
“So long that even trying to let go feels impossible.”
“If you never give it a shot…”
“How will you know whether you can win over your He Nanzhou?”
Shen Meng took a deep breath.
She closed her eyes.
Then slowly opened them again.
“You two have to help me.”
Xu Sui’an and Leng Ningxue exchanged a glance.
Then nodded together.
“Absolutely.”
An hour and a half later.
Outside the girls’ dormitory.
Willow branches swayed gracefully in the evening breeze.
Dressed simply in a white shirt and black trousers, Shi Yubai stood there.
Even standing still, he looked like a painting.
Zhuang Yan and Ruan Qingyang waited beside him.
Many students secretly stole glances at the three of them.
Grinning broadly, Zhuang Yan tugged playfully at a willow branch.
“Brother Shi.”
“Today’s the day your dream finally came true.”
“Did you invite Brother He?”
Shi Yubai lowered his eyes toward the foxtail grass ring on his finger.
The corners of his lips lifted slightly.
“Of course.”
“How could such an important day be complete without him?”
Zhuang Yan leaned closer with a teasing grin.
“Can’t you tone it down a little?”
“You’ve been staring at that foxtail grass ring for twenty straight minutes.”
“I know Xu Sui’an gave it to you.”
“But do you really have to keep looking at it?”
Shi Yubai lazily lifted his eyes.
He deliberately waved his hand in front of Zhuang Yan.
“What do you know?”
“This is the promise between Suisui and me.”
“It’s our token of love.”
“When I get home…”
“I’m preserving it forever.”
“A promise?”
“What promise?”
Seeing the smug look on Shi Yubai’s face, Zhuang Yan happily played along.
The little dimple on Shi Yubai’s cheek appeared as his smile deepened.
Even his voice carried intoxicating warmth.
“When Suisui and I first played house as kids…”
“She was the bride.”
“And I was the groom.”
“We promised…”
“That we’d stay together forever.”
Zhuang Yan couldn’t help feeling envious.
Childhood sweethearts.
Growing up side by side.
Shi Yubai truly was fortunate.
He had met the girl destined for him while they were still children.
“Shi Yubai.”
“We all know you and Sui’an are childhood sweethearts.”
“You don’t have to show off every second.”
“I’m a man with a girlfriend too.”
“My Queen.”
“We’ll have plenty of promises together.”
“When we’re old…”
“We’ll slowly reminisce about them.”
The corner of Ruan Qingyang’s eye twitched.
His heart felt unbearably sour.
He was still painfully single.
After graduation…
He would enter an arranged marriage.
Love was a luxury.
Something forever beyond his reach.
His gaze fell upon Shi Yubai.
Envy.
Jealousy.
Both surged through him.
The Shi family…
One of Nancheng’s most prestigious families.
And Shi Yubai was their only son.
His sister was destined for a political marriage.
If she had married Shi Yubai…
She surely would have been happy.
But plans could never keep up with reality.
Did tonight’s arrangement still have any meaning?
If Shi Yubai met Qingqing…
Could things still change?
His sister was every bit as beautiful as Xu Sui’an.
Gentle.
Kind.
Elegant.
So what if they were dating?
People got divorced after marriage all the time.
Where was true love in high society?
Falling for one person after another…
That was the norm.
He had never seen anyone remain devoted to just one person for life.
Just then…
Shi Yubai’s gaze landed precisely on Xu Sui’an.
His peach blossom eyes filled instantly with amazement.
“Xiaobai.”
The two sweet words landed directly in his heart.
“This is for you.”
A vibrant red rose had been woven into a bracelet.
Xu Sui’an slipped it onto his wrist.
“I love it.”
She gently turned her wrist.
A faint floral fragrance drifted through the air.
Shi Yubai’s heart trembled.
His Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously.
‘Do you like the flower…’
‘Or the person who gave it to you?’
Zero Degree Bar.
Flashing lights.
Pulsing music.
Hearts burning with excitement.
Xu Sui’an naturally leaned against Shi Yubai as she played with his fingers.
How had she never noticed before…
That his hands were so beautiful?
Sure enough…
Your perspective changed once your relationship status changed.
These hands…
She wanted to hold them forever.
Shi Yubai obediently let her play with his hand like it was soft dough.
‘See?’
‘My Suisui can’t get enough of me.’
‘She likes my hands.’
‘I need to take better care of them from now on.’
‘Hand cream.’
‘Time to start using it.’
‘Suisui always says your hands are a woman’s second face.’
‘That should apply to men too.’
‘Beautiful hands always attract attention.’
Zhuang Yan and Leng Ningxue sat shoulder to shoulder, whispering quietly to each other.
“Sorry.”
“I’m late.”
A pleasant voice interrupted them.
He Nanzhou had arrived.
“Brother Nanzhou.”
“You’re right on time.”
Shi Yubai poured him a glass of wine.
The foxtail grass ring on his left hand quietly showed itself off.
He Nanzhou sat down.
Gently swirling the wine in his glass.
“Xiaobai.”
“I heard you and Suisui finally got together.”
“Congratulations.”
Smiling brightly, Xu Sui’an raised her wine glass.
She took Shi Yubai’s hand.
Their matching foxtail grass rings proudly announced their relationship.
“Brother Nanzhou.”
“Let me formally introduce him.”
“Xiaobai is my boyfriend.”
“Congratulations, Suisui.”
“When the two of you get married…”
“I’ll definitely prepare an enormous wedding gift.”
“And if this brat ever dares bully you…”
“Just tell me.”
“I’ll teach him a lesson.”
He Nanzhou emptied his glass in one gulp.
Ever since they were children…
Shi Yubai had always protected Xu Sui’an.
After all these years…
He had finally obtained the title he’d always longed for.
Back then…
Whenever any boy approached Xu Sui’an…
Shi Yubai would become visibly unhappy.
So…
He’d been planning this all along.
These two lovers had finally become a couple.
Shi Yubai smiled sincerely.
Even the dazzling lights became nothing more than his backdrop.
“Brother Nanzhou.”
“I could never bear to let Suisui suffer.”
“I’m more than willing…”
“To be the one she bullies instead.”
He Nanzhou nodded with a smile.
A trace of amusement flashed through his eyes.
“You brat really moved fast.”
“Hahaha…”
“When Xie Beicheng comes back from overseas…”
“I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he finds out.”
