The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

When Bronya finished speaking and saw that my face had turned a little pale, she knew that she had been right about everything.

I took a deep breath and then exhaled. I confessed: "I admit that the thing is with me, but I didn't steal it, nor did I do anything strange with it in a despicable way."

Bronya, of course, believed in Brother Wang Tang. "Bronya knew that if she continued to talk about this topic, Brother Wang Tang might leave St. Freya Academy."

Hearing this, I was moved and stood up to bow to Bronya and apologize.

Okay, Brother Wangtang, I forgive you. So when are you going to return my stockings to me?

I quickly replied, "I'll pay it back today."

Bronya never told Mei and the others about it afterward.

Brother Wang Tang, come over and take some photos with Bronya.

Upon hearing Duck's invitation, I quickly went over to Bronya's side and took some photos with her.

Meanwhile, in another box, Mei and Kiana were still chatting non-stop. Mei said, "Make me some fried chicken and barbecue tomorrow, Mei."

Mei indulgently granted Kiana's every request.

Mei, look at that box where Bronya and the others are. All you see is me bowing to Bronya.

Mei looked worried and asked, "Did Wang Tang have some kind of conflict with Bronya?"

Kiana said, "Mei, don't worry. Wang Tang is too worried about us to want to have a conflict with us."

Then Kiana and Mei saw me and Bronya taking pictures.

The two of them then relaxed.

Kiana's eyes suddenly lit up, and she suggested, "Mei, since Wang Tang and Bronya have taken pictures, let's take some too!"

“Great idea!” Mei readily agreed.

So the two of them joined in taking photos, leaving behind their happy laughter and wonderful memories in front of the Ferris wheel at the amusement park.

As the last rays of the setting sun bathed the amusement park, our group came to an end of a delightful day and prepared to head home. The laughter and chatter from the Ferris wheel still echoed in our ears, and the smiles captured in the photos preserved the beauty of this day.

"I had so much fun today, thank you all," I said sincerely, my heart filled with gratitude.

Kiana and Bronya both looked a little tired, but had satisfied smiles on their faces. Mei smiled and replied, "Yes, it was really fun today. Thank you, Wang Tang-kun, for spending the whole day with us."

No, I should thank you all. I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

We chatted as we walked out of the amusement park and headed home. Along the way, we shared the day's fun stories and photos, laughing constantly.

At the fork in the road, I told Kiana and the others that I needed to get something, and then we parted ways.

"I grabbed a few candies when I got back to the dorm."

Several tens of minutes later I returned to Kiana and the others' dormitory.

I secretly returned Bronya's stockings to him.

Bronya examined the area carefully but found nothing unusual. "It seems Brother Wang Tang wasn't lying to Bronya."

How could I possibly lie to you, Bronya! After returning the items, I played games with Bronya all night long.

Time passed day by day, and three years went by in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, Wang Tang met Fu Hua through Kiana and the others (this is based on Kiana's and their understanding; the protagonist knows Fu Hua, but without Kiana and the others' storyline, the protagonist would almost certainly not have met Fu Hua, or even if they did, their relationship wouldn't have been very good).
