Chapter 6: The Ninety-Ninth Confession
In Class 1 of the Senior Year.
“Nooo, I just reached the pinnacle of my life…”
A handsome boy suddenly jolted awake from his seat, gasping for air.
Hearing the ruckus around him, he blinked in confusion.
“Wait, is this… the classroom?”
His head felt like a blender set to high speed.
Then a worried voice broke through, “Brother Chen, you okay?”
“Are you nervous about your 99th confession today? Way too excited, huh?”
Ye Liang Chen froze at the mention of the ’99th confession’ and whipped his head around to the speaker.
A chubby face, tiny eyes…
“Gao Quan? You’re alive! This is amazing!” Ye Liang Chen squeezed Gao Quan’s chubby cheeks with glee.
“This time, I will protect you! I won’t let anything happen to you again!”
“Brother Chen, are you dreaming? Am I not living just fine?” Gao Quan was taken aback by Ye Liang Chen’s excitement, unsure of how to respond.
“You wouldn’t understand, but don’t worry, I’ve got everything covered.”
Ye Liang Chen declared solemnly.
In Gao Quan’s eyes, it seemed like Ye Liang Chen just needed a nap.
But in reality, he had traveled back in time, reincarnated!
In his dreams—let’s just call it his past life—he was 28 years old. Everything happening now had already played out in his dreams.
In those dreams, Gao Quan had died at 25, beaten to d*ath by Dragon Brother while trying to save Ye Liang Chen.
It took him three years to ruin Dragon Brother’s life, leaving him like trash, clutching a moldy oil stick, suffering a miserable d*ath on the streets.
In the end, he married three stunning beauties alone and took over Dragon Brother’s company, becoming the CEO and stepping up to the peak of life!
But on the wedding day, seeing three gorgeous brides in wedding dresses made him so excited that he suffered a heart failure from lack of bl**d flow…
“Brother Chen, come on, stop spacing out. Li Qing Xue is back; it’s your time to shine!”
Prompted by Gao Quan, Ye Liang Chen instinctively glanced toward the classroom door.
His expression turned hazy.
A girl had just returned from outside, her fair cheeks adorned with a gentle smile. Even in her school uniform, her graceful figure stood out. She chatted and laughed with everyone around her, every move and gesture exuding beauty and elegance.
Just her standing there drew everyone’s gaze like a moth to a flame.
“Ouch, the lethal charm of Miss White Moonlight is overwhelming…” Gao Quan joked, watching Ye Liang Chen’s starstruck expression.
Snapping back to reality!
He glanced at the pink love letter on his desk.
Deep breath. Ye Liang Chen picked up the love letter and took slow, careful steps toward Li Qing Xue.
Everyone in the class watched with bated breath, knowing all too well about Ye Liang Chen’s crush on Li Qing Xue.
After all, it was a well-known fact that he had been in the same class with her since fourth grade, all through middle school and high school. Fate seemed to have stuck them together like two peas in a pod.
His most frequently uttered phrase? “I hope we can be together in college too!”
And counting this confession, he had confessed to her a whopping 99 times!
Seeing him walk up to her with that love letter in hand, the class was buzzing with excitement, thinking he was about to make his 99th confession.
Li Qing Xue looked a bit awkward, just about to say something!
But Ye Liang Chen suddenly blurted out, “You used to be the person I held in my hands afraid to let go, the one I was so sweet on that she took over my whole adolescence!”
“But I’ve realized something: feelings can’t be forced. Let’s just be friends. I’ve caused you so much trouble, I promise not to do that anymore.”
As he spoke, Ye Liang Chen tilted his head at a dramatic forty-five degrees, sporting a serene smile.
“I hope you have an even better life and meet someone even better.”
With that, he dramatically tore the love letter in half and tossed it into the trash can.
The entire class was stunned.
Even Li Qing Xue frowned, not quite understanding the meaning behind Ye Liang Chen’s unexpected move.
“Whoa, Brother Chen, have you flipped out? You’ve been chasing Li Qing Xue since middle school! Six years in, and you just give up?”
Ye Liang Chen smirked at Gao Quan’s comment, sneaking a glance at Li Qing Xue.
When he saw her dazed expression directed at the trash can, his smirk widened.
Nobody knew, but he was the only one who had gone through this before, realizing that this confession had no chance of success.
Because Li Qing Xue had always seen him as just a friend.
Only when he let go would she have that epiphany that, unbeknownst to her, she had secretly fallen for him too.
That was how it had played out in his dreams.
When he decided to stop pursuing Li Qing Xue, she began to feel uneasy and would often reminisce about his good qualities.
Ultimately, she regretted it and wanted to reconcile, realizing how great he had been to her.
In his dreams, after being rejected 99 times, he was hurt deep down and chose not to forgive her.
Li Qing Xue, sensing her regret too late, resolved to chase him and experience everything he had done for her.
In the dream, a turning point came when she was forced by Dragon Brother, and he happened to encounter her—his childhood moonlight—still unable to watch her suffer at the hands of another man.
He chose to rescue her from Dragon Brother’s claws.

At this point, they finally put aside past grievances, and Li Qing Xue opened her heart to him, making a heartfelt confession…
Since he already knew this confession would end in rejection, Ye Liang Chen chose to save face for himself.
In public, he tore the love letter, actively ending their relationship.
This way, he didn’t come off as too pathetic or desperate in everyone’s eyes.
Now, all he had to do was wait for Li Qing Xue to regret it and come looking for him.
At that time, he would reject her! After all, if he forgave her too easily, she wouldn’t cherish him.
Right now, he had more important things to focus on.
And that was saving his treasure girl.
Just thinking about Dragon Brother bullying and tormenting his treasure girl made Ye Liang Chen seethe with anger!
He was ready to go confront Dragon Brother, but suddenly, for reasons unbeknownst to him, he abandoned that idea.
And his brows furrowed deeply.
In the dream, after being rejected by Li Qing Xue, it took a month or so for him to meet his treasure girl.
Back then, she was beaten down by Dragon Brother, on the verge of despair, looking as fragile as glass!
One soul rejected by the moonlight, another bullied and tormented—two wounded spirits resonated with each other effortlessly.
In his dreams, the treasure girl would often express her gratitude to him, saying he had been like a ray of sunshine during her darkest times, pulling her out of an endless abyss!
So Ye Liang Chen hesitated. If he went to her now, would he still be her light? Would he still be the one to redeem her life?
After a moment of internal struggle, he resolved to stick to the path laid out in his past life, but this time, he could show concern ahead of time and leave a lasting impression!
