The room was filled with clothes, and a slender figure stood in front of the mirror.

The girl in the mirror, though still displaying a youthful and inexperienced appearance, had already possessed sufficient beauty, with her watery eyes radiating brilliance.

She compared two dresses back and forth, then casually threw them onto the bed, turning to look at other dresses... The expression on her face now carried a hint of impatience and frustration. There wasn't a single dress that looked good...

She sat down on the bed, feeling a bit annoyed, and didn't notice the person standing at the door.

It wasn't until a hand lightly knocked on the door that she turned her head to look, her eyes carrying a hint of impatience. Why was he here again?

"What do you want?" the girl asked.

The young man at the door clenched the paper in his hand and finally unfolded it, revealing a report card.

"Sister, I did it... I got first place in the grade," the young man's clear and deep voice sounded, hesitating slightly. "Do you remember what you promised me?"

Ning'an widened her eyes in disbelief, quickly walked up to the young man, and snatched the report card to look at the scores and rankings. Surprisingly, Nan Gong was surpassed by him, and Ning'an's name was written boldly as first place in the grade.

Feeling surprised, she looked at the silent young man at the door. How did he manage to achieve this? She had seen the school's published rankings before, and Nan Gong had never been on top...

She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Did you cheat? How is this possible?"

Upon hearing this, Ning'an gritted her teeth and clenched her lips. A flash of light passed through his eyes at a lightning speed, but it was too fast to catch.

"No," he said, his voice tinged with a hint of aggrievedness, as if he felt hurt by Ning'an's words but was still determined to justify himself.

"If you don't believe me, we can redo the test, and I can do it in front of you," the young man said firmly.

The resolute tone of the young man standing before her left Ning'an speechless. She regretted it... She had thought that Nan Gong could never achieve this. The first place in the grade had never been challenged before, but now Nan Gong actually got the first place! If she had known, she wouldn't have made any demands in the first place. It would have been better to refuse him from the beginning. Now she felt trapped in a difficult situation.

"Sister, you promised me. As long as I got first place in the grade, you would accompany me to the amusement park on my birthday," Ning'an was reminded of her promise once again by the young man.

She felt annoyed and raised her head. "I said I would consider it if you achieved it. When did I promise?"

The young man looked at her stubborn expression, and his eyes gradually became dangerous. His tone softened and became elusive.

"So you want to go back on your word, Sister?"

Ning'an raised her head triumphantly. So what if she wanted to go back on her word? He didn't have any evidence. She didn't want to go to any amusement park with him anyway.

But just as she was thinking about this, before she could say anything more, she heard a sound like electricity crackling. Ning'an looked up and saw the young man holding a recorder. Then a deep male voice sounded from the recorder, distorted by the fluctuation of electricity, making it sound even deeper.

"Did Sister really say that? As long as I got first place in the grade, she would accompany me to the amusement park?"

"Yes! If you achieve it, I'll accompany you," came the girl's affirmative reply from the recording. Ning'an realized that she had been foolish. She was even more surprised by the recording.

She looked at the young man standing quietly there, holding the recorder. How did he think of recording this? What kind of idea was this?

With the evidence presented before her, Ning'an found herself unable to refute. She felt a rush of guilt surging from the bottom of her heart. She now remembered that after promising Ning'an, she had actually intended to keep the appointment on his birthday.

But when she was about to leave, she received a call from Nan Gong. They had a quarrel over something those days, and they hadn't spoken for a while. On that day, Nan Gong invited her to dinner.

Sitting in the restaurant by the window, watching the gloomy weather outside, she comforted herself in her heart.

It was only noon, but the sun was blocked by dark clouds, and it seemed like it was going to rain. The amusement park definitely wouldn't be open. Ning'an thought Nan Gong wouldn't be so foolish as to wait for her.

She convinced herself, feeling justified and burden-free, and didn't even think of making a phone call...

Ning'an lowered her head and saw the bread and milk on the table, her chest feeling a bit stuffy.

A feeling of inexplicable guilt spread from the bottom of her heart.

She hadn't expected that Nan Gong would actually wait for her in the pouring rain, but she had completely forgotten about it. Perhaps this was a small wish that he had been harboring and brewing in his heart for a long time before finally expressing it to her.

Because it didn't matter to her, because she didn't care...

She even forgot about it, acting as if nothing had happened when she saw him again, as if it was a matter of course.
