After class, Chen Youyou noticed that Zhan Weiyang was daydreaming. It wasn’t just daydreaming; during the morning self-study session, when the teacher wasn’t in the classroom, Chen Youyou turned around to look at Zhan Weiyang a few times and found him smiling foolishly.

       Actually, Chen Youyou wanted to tell Zhan Weiyang about the incident with Xie Ling yesterday. Although he gave the bicycle to Xie Ling yesterday, he felt a little guilty. Originally, he wanted Zhan Weiyang to give Xie Ling a ride. Then the two of them would get to know each other as Zhan Weiyang helped Xie Ling change the tyre. As it turned out, Zhan Weiyang ran away directly, and Xie Ling’s bicycle was still broken there without anyone to take care of it. The more Chen Youyou thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt.

       He couldn’t help but want to urge Zhan Weiyang to help Xie Ling fix the bicycle, but he saw Zhan Weiyang in a daze all morning.

       Before Chen Youyou had time to speak, a boy from the next class suddenly called Zhan Weiyang’s name at the back door of the classroom.

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly came to his senses and turned his head to take a look. He stood up and walked towards the back door, curiously asked, “Is there anything wrong?”

       The boy threw a bicycle key to him and said, “Xie Ling asked me to give it to you.”

       Zhan Weiyang was puzzled. After taking the key, he found that it looked familiar. He thought about it and said, “Oh.”

       The boy had left.

       Zhan Weiyang returned to his seat and asked Chen Youyou, “Isn’t this the bicycle key you lent me yesterday?”

       Chen Youyou said, “Yes.”

       Zhan Weiyang asked him, “Why is it with Xie Ling?”

       Chen Youyou did not answer directly but thought for a while and said, “Do you, want to accompany, him to fix the bike, the tyre?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly remembered, “Oh right, his tyre is broken.”

       Chen Youyou said, “Yeah. I, gave it, to him yesterday.”

       Zhan Weiyang panicked, “What should I do? We broke it for him.”

       Chen Youyou reached out and grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s shoulders, shaking him hard, “So you, must go to, accompany him, to fix it!”

       He shook Zhan Weiyang so hard that he disturbed Zhan Weiyang’s deskmate. The little girl said impatiently, “Do you guys have a problem or something?”

       Chen Youyou withdrew his hand and said to Zhan Weiyang, “You, can do, whatever you want.”

       Zhan Weiyang was very distressed. Later in class, he kept thinking about this problem. When class was over, he pulled Chen Youyou and accompanied him to the bike shed, and the two found Xie Ling’s bike. They saw that the bike was still in there, and the rear tyre was still flat.

       Chen Youyou squatted down and pinched the tyre.

       Zhan Weiyang stood and thought seriously. After a long time, he said to Chen Youyou, “I have thought of a way.”

       Chen Youyou looked at him incredulously.

       After lunch at noon, Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou went outside the school to find a bicycle repairman. They used the excuse that their own bicycles were broken and they could not ride out, so they asked the guard to let the man in.

       The repairman brought tools and new tyres. When changing the tyres, Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou squatted beside and watched.

       Chen Youyou couldn’t help but be curious, “Isn’t this your chance to get close to Xie Ling?”

       Zhan Weiyang supported his face with his hands and said, “I don’t understand why I should get close to Xie Ling.”

       “Huh?” Chen Youyou was very confused.

       Zhan Weiyang stared at the front and suddenly leaned close to Chen Youyou’s ear.

       Chen Youyou immediately understood that something was to be said to him in secret, so he quickly moved closer and then heard Zhan Weiyang say, “I’m in love.” This was said sweetly and shyly.

       “What?!” Chen Youyou stood up in shock and yelled so loudly that the repairman dropped all the tools in his hand.

       Zhan Weiyang put his finger to his lips, “Shh—-“

       Chen Youyou squatted down again, this time very close to Zhan Weiyang. The two of them were close to each other, almost pushing Zhan Weiyang down. The shock in his eyes had not yet subsided, and he asked, “Who is it?”

       Zhan Weiyang hugged his knees with his arms and said, “It’s me.”

       Chen Youyou said, “Nonsense! Who are, you with?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him and refused to tell him.

       Chen Youyou asked him, “You don’t like Xie Ling anymore?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything.

       Chen Youyou didn’t want to pursue this matter further. He was more interested in something else. He raised his hand and bumped Zhan Weiyang, “Who is it?” After saying that, he added, “Boy or girl?”

       Zhan Weiyang still didn’t say anything.

       Chen Youyou said, “You’re annoying.” Keeping people on edge!

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly blushed. He raised his hand to cover his face and whispered to Chen Youyou, “I kissed him.”

       This news was like a bolt from the blue for Chen Youyou. He hadn’t expected that at seventeen, he would still be a virgin while Zhan Weiyang would be the first to date and kiss someone. Chen Youyou’s tone became a bit sour as he asked, “Who is it?”

       Zhan Weiyang smiled and shook his body left and right but didn’t say anything.

       At this time, the repairman had already changed the bicycle tyre and stood up to pack up the tools.

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou didn’t continue talking. The two of them sent the repairman out of the school and then returned to the classroom together.

       Walking to the door of the classroom, Chen Youyou grabbed Zhan Weiyang, “What about Xie Ling?”

       Zhan Weiyang’s expression suddenly became solemn.

       Chen Youyou looked at his face, “W-what happened?”

       Zhan Weiyang whispered, “There’s a lot that I gave up.”

       “Huh?” Chen Youyou was confused all afternoon. He felt that Zhan Weiyang was leading him to run around, and he didn’t understand what had happened.

       Zhan Weiyang’s tone became sad, “Chen Youyou.”

       Chen Youyou said, “What?”

       Zhan Weiyang turned around and faced him, saying, “I dare not tell him, but I will tell you secretly, okay?”

       “Tell me, what?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I will become a tree in the future, and you have to come to see me often. I only have you as a friend.”

       Chen Youyou frowned.

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and picked his fingers, “I know I shouldn’t do this, but I can’t help it.”

       Chen Youyou felt puzzled all afternoon.

       When school was over, the boarding students went to the cafeteria for dinner, and the day students went home, leaving Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou in the classroom.

       Zhan Weiyang said to Chen Youyou, “I have a System.”

       Chen Youyou’s face was full of confusion, “Huh?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I must court Xie Ling; otherwise, my points will be deducted. And when all the points are deducted, I will become a tree.”

       Chen Youyou’s expression changed from incomprehension to disgust, and finally said, “Are you crazy?”

       Zhan Weiyang was a little unhappy and said, “I’m not crazy. Can’t you listen to me carefully?”

       Chen Youyou said, “Then?”

       Zhan Weiyang continued, “That’s it, but I have someone I like more now, I can’t play two boats, I can only choose one.”

       Chen Youyou looked at him in confusion.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I hesitated for a long time. This is not an impulsive decision. Even if I have to become a tree in the end, I want to be…” He lowered his voice and finally whispered, “Be together.”

       After that, he saw Chen Youyou staring at him without saying anything, so he said, “I only told this secret to you. You are my best friend.”

       Chen Youyou said, “So?”

       Zhan Weiyang grabbed his hand: “If one day I become a tree, you can’t forget me.”

       Chen Youyou finally said, “Crazy.”
