Tuanzi shuddered. "The Shen family is really unlucky to be targeted by so many people."

Who can argue with that! The Shen family was originally a prominent family in City A, but they became a stepping stone for the male and female protagonists.

After a period of intrigue and deception, the Shen family eventually fell apart.

The Gu family absorbed the Shen family, further increasing their power and making them the dominant force in City A.

Yan Shanshan married Gu Beicheng as she wished, and the two were very loving and had a pair of lovely children.

Who cares about the fate of the Shen family? Who will remember the original owner who committed suicide?

Shen Chumo looked at a century-old tree by the roadside. Even though it had grown into a towering giant with lush branches and leaves, it only took a saw to cut it in half.

Shen Chumo's return to school caused another sensation. Students from the top-performing class rushed to her side to inquire about her injuries, only relaxing after learning she was alright.

Under immense pressure from public opinion, Gu Beicheng and Yan Shanshan had no choice but to apologize to Shen Chumo in person.

They stood before Shen Chumo, their expressions complex. Gu Beichen's eyes held a hint of guilt and unease, while Yan Shanshan's face was full of reluctance, yet also helplessness.

Shen Chumo looked at them quietly, her eyes clear and calm. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.

"It's okay, it's all in the past. We're all still young, and it's inevitable that we'll make mistakes." Shen Chumo's voice was gentle yet firm. "Besides, we're already in our final year of high school, so we should focus on our studies. That's the important thing." Her words were like a spring breeze, warming everyone's hearts.

People around Shen Chumo once again marveled at her beauty and kindness, while Yan Shanshan became the contrast between Shen Chumo and Yan Shanshan—shameless and vicious.

Yan Shanshan was furious when she saw Shen Chumo acting as if he was doing it for her own good. She was filled with jealousy and resentment, feeling that Shen Chumo was deliberately pretending to be magnanimous to embarrass her. However, she dared not retaliate and could only suppress her anger.

Gu Beichen remained silent, his heart filled with conflict. On one hand, he felt guilty about his actions and felt sorry for Shen Chumo.

On the other hand, he couldn't let go of Yan Shanshan and didn't want her to get hurt. Looking at Shen Chumo, a strange emotion welled up in his heart. It was as if he had forever lost the right to have her.

Yan Shanshan looked at Gu Beicheng's obvious inability to let go of Shen Chumo and sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she still looked at Gu Beicheng with a wronged expression, appearing heartbroken and forlorn.

Gu Beichen finally came to his senses and gripped Yan Shanshan's hand tightly. He was thinking that Shanshan had already suffered a lot of grievances, and he couldn't let her down again.

At this moment, Shen Chumo suddenly said, "By the way, Shanshan, the photos of you and Gu Beichen are pretty good, but you don't need to send them to me every day. You two can keep these photos for yourselves."

As soon as she said this, everyone around her cast disdainful glances at Yan Shanshan. Everyone could see through her little scheme. Yan Shanshan's face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment. Shen Chumo, how dare she say such a thing in front of so many people!

Gu Beichen looked at Yan Shanshan in disbelief, "Shanshan, why did you do this?" He had already given up on Chu Mo and chosen her, so why did she still want to provoke Chu Mo?

Yan Shanshan lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She grabbed Gu Beicheng's sleeve and said pitifully, "Beicheng, I just want Chumo to know that you are very happy now. I didn't mean anything else."

Gu Beichen's expression turned grim. He looked at Yan Shanshan, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Shen Chumo ignored them and turned to leave, leaving Gu Beicheng and Yan Shanshan looking embarrassed. Yan Shanshan's reputation for being shameless in Mingde was further damaged.

Perhaps because it was too embarrassing, these two people didn't bother Shen Chumo during this time.

On a sunny weekend morning, the sky was a clear, deep blue without a cloud, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Shen Chumo stood in front of the Shen family's gate, holding a small handbag, and happily prepared to leave.

The streets were lined with shady trees and blooming flowers, filling the air with fragrance. A silver sedan was parked by the roadside, its body gleaming brightly.

The car window rolled down slightly, revealing a handsome face. Gu Xiyan sat quietly inside the car, waiting for the female lead to appear. His deep eyes, like twinkling stars in the night sky, revealed endless tenderness and affection.

When Shen Chumo appeared before everyone, all the passersby involuntarily stopped and focused their attention on her.

She wore a pristine white dress, the hem swaying gently like a blooming lily. The dress's exquisite tailoring perfectly showcased her figure, leaving everyone in awe.

Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, exuding a faint fragrance, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

Shen Chumo smiled and walked towards Gu Xiyan, who smiled back, his eyes filled with doting affection.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on them, enveloping the two of them.

Shen Chumo greeted Gu Xiyan with a smile, "Good morning, Brother Xiyan."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Good morning, Momo."

Gu Xiyan got out of the car, opened the passenger door for Shen Chumo, and gently braced his palm against the door frame to prevent her from accidentally bumping her head.

"Thank you, Brother Xiyan." Shen Chumo's sweet voice filled Gu Xiyan's heart with sweetness.

Seeing Shen Chumo sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Xiyan finally felt a little more real about the date. Heaven knows how excited he was the moment Shen Chumo agreed to go on a date with him.

Then, unable to sleep in the middle of the night, I ran five laps around the building.

This was the first time Gu Xiyan and Shen Chumo went out on a date alone. He stayed up all night last night, gathering many friends and holding a meeting all night long, just to ensure that Shen Chumo would have a pleasant time today.

At this moment, Gu Xiyan's face was filled with an undisguised happy smile. Shen Chumo also chuckled when she saw Gu Xiyan's silly grin. He looked like a wolf, but when he smiled, he looked like a silly big dog.

Gu Xiyan said, "Mo Mo, I've prepared some snacks in the car. If you're hungry, have some." With that, he gently patted the bag of snacks next to him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chumo reached out and opened the bag, which was indeed filled with her favorite foods—shrimp chips, jelly, freeze-dried fruit, chocolate, and so on.

She raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on her face, and then casually picked up a bag of chocolates and opened it.

When the chocolate entered her mouth, the sweet taste instantly filled her mouth, causing her to involuntarily squint her eyes and savor the wonderful flavor.

"Mmm...it's delicious!" Shen Chumo sighed contentedly, her voice filled with pleasure.

Gu Xiyan had been silently watching Shen Chumo's every move. Seeing how happily she was eating, half of the weight that had been hanging over him quietly lifted.

His eyes were filled with tenderness and love, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her. He couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe away a trace of sugar from the corner of Shen Chumo's mouth, the movement as soft as a feather falling.

Shen Chumo was slightly taken aback, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. When Gu Xiyan's fingers touched her cheek, it was as if an electric current instantly coursed through his body. Their eyes met, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still, the air thick with an ambiguous atmosphere.
