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

Shen Yunchi trembled.

Shen Yunchi's older brother looked gloomy: "You've grown quite the character, daring to eat so many sweets!"

"I was wrong……"

"You always say you're wrong, but you never change your ways next time!"

Shen Yunchi: "Because I know I know I'm wrong but I won't correct it."

"……roll!"

In the end, Shen Yunchi was still punished by his own brother to write a 10,000-word self-criticism.

But Shen Yunchi only remembers the good and not the bad.

The next day, he asked Yan Weixi to go out to make cakes at Kuku.

"This caramel panna cotta is so delicious, you have to try it!"

"Okay." Yan Weixi took the caramel milk pudding from the other person and savored it carefully. "Delicious!"

She really liked this caramel panna cotta; it was the first time she had ever tasted such a unique texture, and it was amazing.

Seeing her eating the milk pudding bite by bite, like a cute little animal clutching its favorite food and munching away, Shen Yunchi's heart softened, and he wished he could feed her even more.

He picked up a new dessert, "Try this black tea cake!"

"Let me try!"

"good to eat!"

"Right? My taste is top-notch!"

Shen Yunchi invited Yan Weixi to eat small cakes for five consecutive days, but on the sixth day, Yan Weixi politely declined.

Shen Yunchi said dejectedly, "Okay..."

A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Uncle Butler said that eating only desserts... is not good for your health. He suggested that I do some light exercise to aid digestion and eat a light diet for two days..."

The other person's voice grew weaker and weaker, finally muttering softly, "Um... do you want to go to the gym with me?"

This was the first time Yan Weixi had invited him.

Shen Yunchi immediately agreed: "Okay, okay! I'll come see you tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yunchi was as happy as a brainless idiot.

He ran downstairs, found the cook, and asked her with bright eyes, "Auntie, I'm going to the gym tomorrow, could you make some snacks or drinks to help me regain my energy?"

The family's nanny, who had watched him grow up, immediately agreed when she heard the young master's still-childish, clear voice asking her to make snacks.

"Okay! Young master, Auntie will make it for you tomorrow!"

"I want two."

The boy suddenly paused, then said shyly in a low voice, "Could the other takeout box be a little cuter?"

At this age, teenagers can't hide their feelings and are unaware that their way of speaking is awkward compared to their usual manner.

To the adults, it took on a slightly different flavor. The auntie smiled and agreed, "Auntie understands. I'll definitely find a cute box to put it in. Okay?"

"it is good!"

Brother Shen glanced at his spineless younger brother and sighed, "Finally, it's not a cake date."

Early the next morning.

Shen Yunchi brought snacks and juice to find Yan Weixi.

Today, Yan Weixi wore a yellow tulip skirt, had her hair in a high ponytail, and carried a little duck bag. She looked absolutely adorable.

Upon seeing Yan Weixi, Shen Yunchi immediately jumped out of the car, ran to her, and greeted her.

"XiXi! I'm here! Hey? You look so cute today!"

Yan Weixi stood there obediently, just like a cute and well-behaved child.

In his eyes, it was like a fragrant and soft mango cake.

When Yan Weixi heard Shen Yunchi praise her for being cute, she smiled sweetly at him and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

"You look handsome today too."

"Of course, I'm handsome every day!"

The two got into the car and soon arrived at the gym in the city center.

Shen Yunchi chose a private suite on the top floor, which was fully equipped with gym equipment.

It's a bit better than the general gym downstairs; it's a personal gym where you don't have to worry about being disturbed.

The sound insulation is excellent, and there is no disturbance to other suites on the same floor.

This suite comes with two trainers to help them with their workouts.

The two went to different dressing rooms to change clothes.

Yan Weixi chose to jog for a while to work up a sweat, and then did some anaerobic exercises with the coach.

Shen Yunchi followed Yan Weixi's lead, doing whatever she did.

It was almost noon.

After resting for a while and taking a shower, the two finished their workout for the day.

Shen Yunchi took out the snacks he had prepared earlier. "These are snacks made by the housekeeper. They're delicious, healthy, and low in calories. Give them a try!"

Yan Weixi also spoke up: "My housekeeper made some nut bars and gummies to help you regain your energy. Would you like some?"

Done.

The two were stunned.

He quickly laughed and said, "Let's eat together."

He handed another box to Yan Weixi.

The pink cat sleeping box is cute yet not flashy, making it very pleasing to the eye.

Yan Weixi accepted the box. "Thank you."

Shen Yunchi then took out a white cloud-shaped water bottle for her, saying, "This is a new bottle; no one has used it before!"

"Thank you!"

Yan Weixi handed him the small box she had prepared beforehand, saying, "Here you go."

"Thank you!"

The two ate the snacks that the other had brought.

No one expected that a peach cake could bring two complete strangers together.

After learning that they went to the same school, they ate together, played together, exercised together, and secretly ate small cakes behind Shen's back every day.

Every day, I buy two portions of food, one for my partner and one for myself.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Shen Yunchi had long been used to Yan Weixi always being by his side.

Just when he thought things would continue like this, an uninvited event interrupted his peaceful and happy time.

"Going to study abroad?"

Brother Shen sighed: "Yes, my parents' business abroad is in flux, and they often can't come back. They don't want to keep traveling back and forth, nor do they want to really leave us in China unattended."

Shen Yunchi didn't say anything. He understood the helplessness his parents felt because they were exhausted from their business every day and had to come back every week.

He also knew that his parents couldn't bear to leave him and his older brother studying here.

But he……

I can't bear to part with Yan Weixi.

He was depressed for several days, not knowing how to bring it up.

It wasn't until Yan Weixi realized something was wrong and questioned him repeatedly that she finally managed to get the truth out of him.

Yan Weixi wasn't upset. She told him sincerely, "You're going to study abroad? Isn't that great? A change of environment might be better for you!"

Shen Yunchi awkwardly turned his head away, "But... what about you?"

Yan Weixi blinked: "It's just that we're in different places, it's not like we're separated by life and death."

"Besides, if you don't have money to buy a ticket back, I can buy a ticket to go there."

"Don't overthink it. If this is inevitable, we should think about how to solve the difficulties in a way that is more suitable for our current development."

"Right now, your parents are worried about you and want you to go abroad. You also miss your parents. So just go! Then we can figure out how to stay in touch and maintain our friendship, right?"

Shen Yunchi was taken aback by what she said, but finally understood: "Okay! I'll video call you every day! I'll come back to see you on weekends! How about that?"

"Okay."

The two hit it off.

That `s a deal.

But things are unpredictable.

The two people who parted ways could never have imagined that the problem of distance they wanted to overcome had already failed from the very beginning.

*

At first, Shen Yunchi called her every day and visited her every week.

But later, a new girl who transferred to his school started to unintentionally intrude into his life.

He seemed to have lost his mind, becoming madly infatuated with that girl and forgetting Yan Weixi.

But every night, his thoughts, his soul, screamed that this was wrong; what he truly wanted to connect with, what he truly wanted to be with, was—

Yan Weixi.

But he watched as he fell for another girl, sending messages that should have been sent to Yan Weixi to someone else instead.

He couldn't control his thoughts.

He doesn't understand.

He tried to resist.

But the moment he touched his phone, the moment he met the transfer student, he acted as if he had lost his soul, doing what his body felt was right.

His resistance became a joke.

He watched himself become increasingly obsessed with the transfer student, sinking deeper and deeper into it.
