Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

Zuo You rested her chin on her hand and looked at Shen Yan from outside. This was already the third set of clothes he had changed into.

There were also seven or eight rejected ties scattered around.

Seeing that he was about to change his clothes again, Zuo You finally couldn't help but chuckle: "Shen Yan, are you going to participate in a beauty pageant? You're already handsome enough. We're just going back to have a meal."

Besides, my parents have very good personalities and would never make things difficult for you.

Shen Yan's back straightened instantly, and after a long while, he said, "The first visit should always be a bit more formal."

"Okay, where are the cufflinks I gave you last time? They go better with your suit."

Shen Yan's gaze couldn't leave the similar dark-colored clothes in the wardrobe, and he casually said, "It seems to be in the study."

The study of Shen Yan was filled with the faint scent of cedar. Zuo You's gaze swept across the table and she only noticed a gilded cuff.

"Could it have fallen to the ground?" Zuo You lay on the ground and looked under the table.

The floor was clean, and she immediately spotted another cufflink lying inside.

She stretched her arm as far as she could, her fingertips slowly moving closer to the cuff.

The moment she took the cufflinks back, her shoulder bumped into something, and a small cabinet door on the side of the desk popped open.

Zuo You looked closely and saw a rough cover lying quietly inside, the paper already yellowed.

Zuo You picked it up with some curiosity. It wasn't heavy, but it felt quite substantial in her hand.

The cover bears three faded large characters: Diary.

The character “本” is missing a stroke.

"Shen Yan actually keeps a diary." Zuo You said, gently smoothing the creases at the corner of the diary before putting it back for him.

A small piece of paper fell out, and Zuo You quickly and carefully picked it up.

The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at the Q-version portrait on the paper.

Isn't this the drawing she made of herself on the first day of her second year of high school?

At that time, the homeroom teacher asked us to draw our own portraits and attach self-introductions to post in the student talent display area.

She drew it herself, so there's no way she could mistake it. But why would Shen Yan have it? They shouldn't have known each other back then.

Zuo You lowered her eyes and involuntarily opened the old diary in her hand.

The first page had the two large, crooked characters "Shen Yan" written on it. Zuo You chuckled, as if she could see Shen Yan clumsily holding a pen and writing when he was a child.

The teacher handed out diaries, but I didn't pay for them. I picked one up from the trash can—one that had been crushed and thrown away.

Actually, it was only pressed down a little bit, so it's not very noticeable.

January 30, 2011, Snow

That person said they would give me a maximum of three hundred yuan for tuition, but that wasn't enough.

Fireworks were going off everywhere last night, and I heard that used firework tubes can be exchanged for money.

[August 5, 2012, Heavy Rain]

Barbecue restaurants and eateries do not accept children under the age of 16.

Six years to go.

[September 1, 2014, heavy rain]

The school opening expenses amounted to 1,338 yuan, leaving 105 yuan remaining.

Tears gradually blurred her vision. Zuo You stared wide-eyed as she flipped through the pages. The pages were filled with records of expenses, mostly concentrated around the start of each school year.

There was a break in the records for a few years, and they didn't resume recording until high school.

May 20, 2019, Sunny

I saw her again at the sports meet. She gave chocolates to everyone in her class, and then gave me the last one.

She doesn't remember me anymore.

Does she give things to everyone who passes by?

So chocolate is bitter.

[June 1, 2019, Rain]

Everyone is preparing for the college entrance exam, and the principal talked to me.

The top scorer in the college entrance examination was awarded 100,000 yuan, which was just enough to cover the surgery costs.

June 4, 2019, Sunny

My deskmate drew her college entrance exam blessing, which I traded for her math notes.

[June 6, 2019, Heavy Rain]

She has a boyfriend.

Tomorrow is the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), and the hotel's soundproofing is poor; it's very

June 25, 2020, Sunny

She did very well on the exam; I wonder if she'll stay in City A to attend university.

That boy is her brother; I misunderstood.

Zuo You's hands were trembling so badly that she could no longer see clearly. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and continued to flip through the pages.

July 19, 2020, Rainy

I think I'm sick; there's a voice talking in my head.

It called itself a system, saying that I was the male protagonist of this world, a young master from a wealthy family who had fallen on hard times, and that I would fall in love with a woman named Su Nuannuan.

how is this possible.

October 8, 2020, heavy rain.

The Shen family came looking for me, and they promised that I was their only heir, so I went back.

December 25, 2022, Snow.

That person named Su Nuannuan bumped into me, just like the system described, it's really annoying.

She performed at the Christmas party today, and she even wore reindeer antlers on her head. They looked so soft and fluffy, just like the little animal I bought for Shen An'an.

I couldn't help but greet her as she passed by.

Many people were talking to her, but she didn't hear them.

[April 13, 2023, Rain]

The system said that the protagonist possesses a luck that ordinary people cannot reach, and I felt it.

That woman named Su Nuannuan was too lucky; I personally rejected her internship application.

May 18, 2023, Sunny

She submitted an internship application to our company.

She probably won't like roses, try lisianthus instead.

May 23, 2023, Sunny

She went to another company, but Su Nuannuan came instead.

When I went to see her, I ran into her brother. He glared at me, as if he had misunderstood something.

[June 11, 2023, Rain]

The system said she was going to die.

I'm going to destroy it.

[June 20, 2023, Rain]

She really had an accident; when I rushed over from the company, she was being resuscitated.

What the system said is true.

If my protagonist's life requires her to be exchanged, then I'd rather not have her.

Cannon fodder is destined to die young, but what if she became the female lead?

[June 21, 2023, Rain]

The system agreed to trade with me; I'm sure I can change her fate.

……

Zuo You put the diary back in its place, wiped away her tears, and went outside.

Shen Yan was adjusting his tie in front of the mirror. He hadn't noticed that she had been gone for so long, and simply said softly, "Didn't you find it?"

"Found it." Zuo You took out the gilded cuff and put it on him, a shallow dimple appearing on her face: "Shen Yan, let's go home together."

"Okay, let's go home."
