Let me win you over, and you'll become a heartthrob before I even begin?

She handed over the red envelope with both hands, smiling gently and innocently: "Thank you so much. If possible, could you say a few more words of encouragement to her?"

The man opposite Yan Weixi smiled and accepted the red envelope.

"Ok, Ok."

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Yan Weixi waved goodbye to the man.

Ji Xingyi sensed something was wrong, took out her phone and saw that the date had changed!

After a moment of surprise, he immediately started looking up a lot of information, and found that many things that would happen in the future had not yet happened.

He quickly and calmly accepted the fact—

He was reborn, or perhaps he went back to the past.

He wanted to go and see Yan Weixi.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, before he could even form the idea of ​​denying it, his body had already moved on.

Ji Xingyi couldn't help but ask her, "What are you doing?"

Yan Weixi was startled by him, patted her chest, and took a few deep breaths: "You scared me."

"Is there anything I can help you with, young man?"

Ji Xingyi then realized his blunder. He glanced around awkwardly, and when he saw the red envelope in Yan Weixi's hand, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"This..."

“These are some red envelopes I prepared. My friend works here, but not many people are taking her flyers, so I wanted to help her.”

"There's just one left. Could you please give me a few more flyers for my friend?"

Yan Weixi handed the red envelope in her hand to Ji Xingyi.

Ji Xingyi accepted her red envelope as if possessed: "Okay."

Upon hearing Ji Xingyi's agreement, Yan Weixi's eyes lit up, and she said with a beaming smile:

"Thank you, sir. If you have a moment, could you say a few words of encouragement to my friend? Just a few words, anything is fine, is that alright?"

Yan Weixi's gaze was so sincere that Ji Xingyi couldn't help but agree.

But he didn't understand why Yan Weixi would use such a roundabout method to do this.

"Why don't you just give her the money directly?"

“My friend doesn’t want to accept my money. She’s very principled and great. She can support herself, so I don’t need to force her.”

Ji Xingyi rarely saw people who could resist the temptation of money, which made her appreciate them more.

He had learned about Yan Weixi before and knew that she was the daughter of the Yan family.

Before the Yan family fell into decline, they were no less powerful than the Ji family.

"You're so rich, why don't you apply for a student grant for her?"

“My friend is very smart and capable. She is eligible for scholarships and grants, and we usually give her more opportunities and more bonuses.”

"But I don't know why, she suddenly ran out to work. She must have had a reason for being really short of money. If I can help her, I want to help her as much as possible."

"puff."

Ji Xingyi suddenly burst out laughing.

"What's wrong?" Yan Weixi asked Ji Xingyi.

"I'm a stranger, aren't I? How dare you say so much to me?"

Yan Weixi shook her head: "I know you."

Ji Xingyi paused.

Yan Weixi continued, "I know you. You talked to Dad about the collaboration, and Dad praised you for being young, promising, and exceptionally capable."

"I think--"

"Anyone approved by Dad is definitely not a bad person."

Ji Xing's earlier laughter now felt like a lump in her throat: "You trust your father that much?"

"Believe!"

Ji Xingyi didn't say anything more, but accepted the red envelope: "Okay, I'll take the money and go."

Ji Xingyi walked towards the teddy bear that Yan Weixi had pointed out.

When I saw the clumsy little bear handing out flyers, I politely asked for a few flyers and offered a few words of encouragement.

After hearing the words of encouragement, the little bear happily nodded twice: "Thank you for your encouragement! I also wish you peace, happiness, and all the best every day."

At this moment, Ji Xingyi finally understood why Yan Weixi wanted to help the little bear.

Because the girl in Little Bear is really nice.

She is very polite and hardworking, and speaks sweetly.

He didn't linger; he found a place to observe them.

He saw Yan Weixi turn and run away.

Not a moment.

Yan Weixi brought over the drinks, placed them on the stool, helped Xiaoxiong remove her headgear, took out tissues to wipe her sweat, and then instructed her:

"Yaoyao, I didn't buy ice water. It's too hot and you're sweating too much. Drinking ice water isn't good for you. Drink it in small sips, don't drink it all at once."

"Yes, thank you, Xixi. You're the best, Xixi."

"Yes, Yao Yao is the best too."

Yan Weixi picked up a small fan and fanned her, and the two chatted and laughed.

Seeing how they interacted, Ji Xingyi couldn't help but feel curious.

Yan Weixi seems very cheerful.

Why would someone be so distraught as to jump off a building?

He began to observe Yan Weixi.

He thought that if he didn't help Yan Weixi, he would remain trapped in an emotional quagmire from which he could never recover.

Therefore, both morally and logically, he had to help Yan Weixi overcome her difficulties.

It was a fitting reward for Yan Weixi's kindness in using her points to give him a second chance.

He began to intentionally or unintentionally create opportunities to spend time with Yan Weixi.

He then realized that the little girl was not actually cheerful; she was just good at pretending and didn't want to burden others with her negative energy.

At the same time, she is too gentle and considerate of others, always forgetting that she is also an age where she is still young and is being loved by her parents.

He had just graduated at that time.

I am indeed very busy.

Fortunately, he was still able to squeeze out time to accompany Yan Weixi and gradually change her mind.

Ji Xinglai came to the entrance of St. Liya to pick her up for dinner.

Every time Yan Weixi saw him, she would run over from a distance, her eyes sparkling as she looked up at him.

"Good afternoon, Brother Xingyi!"

Ji Xingyi liked it when Yan Weixi looked at her like that; she could feel the other person's care and concern.

"Good afternoon, Xixi." Ji Xingyi gently rubbed her head.

Did you pay attention in class today?

"Have!"

Did you encounter any bad people, scumbags, or jerks today?

"Hmm, no."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Ji Xingyi did not believe it.

He had investigated Yan Weixi, who was spending time with Wen Yu at that time.

He was thinking about how to subtly put Wen Yu in his place.

His intuition told him that Wen Yu was no good.

But the little girl was too dense to notice.

It's ok.

He will guide her to discover it gradually.

but--

He did not succeed.

By the time I reached my senior year of high school.

The family business experienced fluctuations, requiring him to handle a meal. He was so busy that he was dizzy and disoriented.

He even suddenly lost control of his emotions.

He always resented Yan Weixi coming to see him.

He even went so far as to say—

"Get out of here, and stop clinging to me all day long!"

Yan Weixi, who had come to find him excitedly, froze on the spot. She fiddled with her fingers helplessly, too embarrassed to look up and meet Ji Xingyi's gaze.

She lowered her head and stood there helplessly.

It was only much later that she said, feeling guilty, "I'm sorry, I disturbed your work..."

Only after Yan Weixi left could his agitated heart find peace. Over time, he grew to hate this annoying person coming around even more.

Until he forgot what had happened and passed by Saint-Lia again.

When we met eyes again.

He then realized what he had done.

He couldn't believe he had said those nasty and offensive things to Yan Weixi.

He knew perfectly well that the girl was fragile and sensitive.

Yet they treated her like this!

He took a deep breath in despair.

How could he—

How could he treat the little girl who once ran towards him with eyes full of joy like this?

He suffered from insomnia again, even more severely than before, spending sleepless nights in a daze, the despair of not being able to sleep lingering in his mind.

He dreamed of the little girl again.

The little girl knelt on the ground and sobbed softly.

"Kitty, can you help Brother Xingyi?"

"Xixi, he's treated you like this, why are you still helping him!"

"These are candies you've been saving up for a very long time, and it wasn't easy for you to get them. You really don't want them?"

"Xixi, stop worrying about them. Please fight for yourself this once. Stop thinking about them. Be selfish, please..."

"But...it's my fault for keeping him awake at night, I can't be so selfish..."

Memories suddenly flooded back.

He recalled his past memories.

The words that had once whispered in his ear flowed back again:

"Xixi, we only need ten more minutes to collect all the candy."

"We're only nine points away, please don't give up, okay?"

"You only need eight points to get the candy, isn't that what you've always wanted?"

"..."

"We're just one point away, let's not worry about it. Haven't you always wanted to see your dad, mom, brother, and sister?"

"Xi Xi—"

"We've finally collected enough candy."

"But……"

"Fortunately, my brother also has the right to happiness, because I am plagued by nightmares."

"But he's already said those things about you, why are you still going to care about him?"

"He... was very good to me, really good. He always encouraged and comforted me. If it weren't for him, I probably would have broken down long ago."

"Kitty, you said I'm a supporting character in a book, but..."

Why are some supporting characters born unfortunate?

She turned to look at Ji Xingyi.

So many times over.

This was the first time they had made eye contact.

She asked:

"you say--"

"If I could, would my life be different?"

"Brother Xingyi, thank you for your kindness to me before."

"I remember all the bad things you did to me. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely seek revenge on you."

Yan Weixi gave him a final smile before her body began to disintegrate.

Ji Xingyi lunged forward but failed to catch the object and crashed to the ground.

His voice trembled as he said, "No, don't go, please don't go."

"You're not some supporting character, you're yourself. It's my fault, I'm too bad, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you. I don't hate you—"

"In my heart, you are very good and well-behaved. You are not a nuisance. You are Yan Weixi, the best Yan Weixi!"

"Really?" Yan Weixi lowered her eyes, then suddenly looked up and smiled. "I also think I am the best Yan Weixi."

The white kitten in Yan Weixi's arms nuzzled against her affectionately.

She smiled and said goodbye to Ji Xingyi:

"Goodbye, Xingyi-gege, I'm leaving with my cat."

"My cat is the best cat. It will stay with me. Don't be sad, I still have my cat."

"Cat is Yan Weixi's best companion, she is never lonely."

"If possible, I hope we'll both be happy when we meet next time."

Little Yan Weixi hugged her cat, humming a song as she walked into the distance, singing softly.

"Mom said she wants to go home."

"Go home, go home, but where is home?"

"Where there are cats, there is the way home."

Ji Xingyi was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Ah."

"I hope you'll be happy next time we meet."

Yan Weixi used her points to give him one rebirth after another.

Ji Xingyi used his countless rebirths to pursue the answer—

About happiness.

He asked his mother this question his whole life.

What is happiness?

How can I teach others about happiness?

Mom said:

"Happiness is never defined. Other people's happiness is their own, and no one can give it to them. Family, lovers, and friends can only make them happy for a while, but once these people are gone, that person's happiness will slip away."

"That--"

"Mom, what should I do if I still want to make her happy?"

"Then go and keep her company."

"It's like having your mom, dad, and brother with you."

"Being there for someone is also a silent happiness."

"..."

"I know, Mom."

Ji Xingyi thought:

I should become her teacher.

It's not about teaching her.

Instead, he was there for her every single day, wherever she could see.

Even if it's just one class—

Forty-five minutes.
