"A new book from a veteran author—quality guaranteed!"

Yan Shu had a childhood friend.

The kind who always went against him, ever since they were little.

In kindergarten, when he gave strawberry milk to a girl in class, she went home crying and told his parents he stole her milk.

In elementary school, when he exchanged Christmas cards with his deskmate, she got mad and angrily ate the apple he received.

When a girl confessed to him during school, she went and told the teacher he was in a relationship too early.

Later, a buddy asked him,

“Hey, you and Xu Mi'er seem pretty close. Can you help me pass her a love letter?”

Yan Shu said no.

The buddy asked, “Why not?”

Yan Shu didn’t know why. Maybe because… she was his childhood friend.

She dragged him out of an internet café during his rebellious phase.

She repeated a year in school after failing her entrance exams, just like he did, saying she also didn’t get into the school she wanted.

She sat with him all night drinking after he got dumped, then tearfully scolded him, calling him an idiot.

Eventually, they finally got together and were ready to get married—

But Xu Mi'er passed away in an accident.

She smiled and said,

“In the next life… can you tell me you like me a little sooner? I’ve secretly liked you for so long…”

When Yan Shu opened his eyes again, he was 18 years old.

In front of him, a pretty girl with delicate features angrily slammed a pink love letter against his chest.

“If you help someone else deliver a love letter again, I’m telling Aunt Liu you’ve been crushing on me!”

Yan Shu blinked innocently,

“I’m not helping anyone. I wrote this. I really do like you.”

The girl who had just been so fierce turned beet red in an instant… and fled in panic.

At the crossroads of 35, you look into your parents’ hopeful eyes and agree to an arranged marriage.

When you arrive at the meeting place, you realize the girl is your childhood sweetheart from long ago.

【Please treat Li Zhi, whom you haven’t seen for a long time, to a meal. Reward: 1,000 yuan.】

18-year-old Shen Yuan looks at Li Zhi sitting next to him and falls silent.

Is this system coming too early? But that’s not the main issue.

Shen Yuan looks seriously at Li Zhi and says: “Li Zhi, judging from your face, you won’t marry until you’re 35.”

Li Zhi sneers coldly: “I’ll consider you lucky to live long enough to be buried at 35.”
