Su Xiaoyao: "It seems Lu Mingfei has made up his mind."
Fingel: "Throughout history, even heroes are vulnerable to the charms of beauty~"
Hermione: "I'm so curious if Lu Mingfei will succeed in his confession."
Frost: "Difficult to comment."
Ronald Tang: "Difficult to comment +1."
Caesar: "Heh, such a naive S-Class, I mean in terms of emotions and various aspects."
Sperm Whale: "But it is precisely this youthful and inexperienced love that is the most sincere and passionate. I believe I will always be moved by such love."
Su Enxi: "You're practically getting a self-induced emotional rush. Whether Chen Wenwen likes him or not is still up in the air."
Sperm Whale: "It can't be said like that. This so-called youthful love is about knowing the outcome is uncertain, yet still pursuing it for love's sake, believing that love can truly overcome all difficulties and obstacles, without considering anything else. It's a stage everyone goes through, and that stage is the youthful love."
Ron: "Wow, I don't understand, I'm deeply moved."
Xia Mi: "Yo, that's pretty poetic."
Chu Zihang: "Some loves, you regret letting go, but they're not satisfying to keep. You yearn for them before you have them, and then you nitpick once you get them. That's probably the love of most people."

The video continues to play.
Lu Mingfei stands in front of the mirror, silently reciting his speech.
He's wearing a suit that doesn't quite fit, his hair neatly combed. Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Mingfei thinks he actually looks a little handsome.
"Hey, what's going on? It's been so long." Zhao Menghua pushes open the bathroom door, frowning at Lu Mingfei who's muttering to himself in front of the mirror.
Lu Mingfei freezes, "I'm imitating Zhou Xingchi. Do I look like him?"
"Kind of. The party's about to start. We're waiting for you." Zhao Menghua rolls his eyes.
"Alright, let's go, let's go!"
Lu Mingfei walks out of the bathroom with confidence, fixes his collar, then steps out the door with his chest puffed out.
Standing on the stage, Lu Mingfei holds the prepared dandelion bouquet behind his back.
He had already communicated with the photographer beforehand, projecting his confession onto the wall. He would hold up the dandelion when the time came to confess.
Thinking about this, Lu Mingfei becomes even more excited.
The spotlight shines down. As he's about to speak, he suddenly gets pulled back. He looks back in confusion and sees Xu Yanyao, the fat guy, pulling him.
"Hey, you're standing too close to the front. Move back a bit, we need to show the 'I' to make the whole sentence." Xu Yanyao says.
Lu Mingfei is dumbfounded, because he sees a big 'ILOVEyou' on the curtain behind him. Lu Mingfei is the 'I', and the two fat guys are the 'O'.
"What are you doing? Just move back and show the 'I'." Xu Yanyao frowns.
Before Lu Mingfei can fully react, a bright beam of light suddenly falls!
Zhao Menghua, standing in the beam of light, smiles, his voice booming, "Chen Wenwen... I like you! These past three years, I'm grateful for your companionship, which made my youth complete."
Chen Wenwen stands up, surprised, covering her mouth. She says,
"I like you too."
The dandelion in Lu Mingfei's hand falls to the ground, its petals scattering.
Before planning his confession, Lu Mingfei had communicated with everyone in the Literature Club except Xia Tiannv and Chen Wenwen.
Lu Mingfei sees the mocking smile on Zhao Menghua's lips, and he understands everything.
They knew Lu Mingfei was going to confess, yet they pretended to cooperate, actually wanting to play a cruel prank on him.
They succeeded. Lu Mingfei made a fool of himself in a big way.
Lu Mingfei watches as the twin brothers cheer and celebrate. The scene is filled with joy, they sing, they laugh.
Lu Mingfei stands alone in the corner, gazing at the seemingly distant joy, as if it were at the end of the world. The world, he doesn't know when, has been divided into black and white, and he stands alone in the darkness, unable to see a single soul.
He suddenly laughs, a bitter laugh.
Seeing this, everyone falls silent.
Things seem not to have gone beyond expectations, but somehow it's worse than expected.
Lu Mingfei's situation is more than just a failed confession.
He was tricked by his so-called 'friends'.
"Damn it! Can you believe this? I would've just flipped out!"" Someone watching is so angry they're about to explode.
"What a fool, tricked into circles. It seems that this Lu Mingfei doesn't even have a normal friend, let alone a close one." Someone is sympathetic.
"It's so suffocating! Can they not be this messed up? I'm so mad! Can we just beat them up? What the hell is this?"
Draco Malfoy: "A bunch of scrubs. If anyone dared to do this to me, I would make them pay dearly."
Harry Potter: "That's outrageous!"
Hermione: "How could they? This, this... Poor Lu Mingfei..."
Fingel: "Unbearable! This ending, I can't take it! @Chen Wenwen @Zhao Menghua @Su Xiaoyao @Liu Miaomiao, come out and face your death!"
Xia Mi: "That's such a bummer."
Guderian: "That's really unfair! But, this means Lu Mingfei can come to the Kassel Academy, right?"
Ronald Tang: "No! It's infuriating! These guys are so low! It's okay to decline, why do they have to gang up to bully an honest guy?"
Tang Sen: "Sigh, it reminds me of when I was bullied in middle school. We need to stop school bullying!"
Su Xiaoyao and the rest who were being called out didn't even dare to show their faces.

At the internet cafe, Lu Mingfei stares blankly at the scene.
Then, a surge of anger rises from the bottom of his heart.
Those guys, they actually knew what he wanted to do and intentionally made him look like a fool, deliberately tricked him...
But he feels a wave of helplessness.
Yeah, from the beginning, they weren't real friends.
Just something called classmates.
Even Chen Wenwen, the others had told her, and she had accepted it.
A fire burns in his heart, as if it's about to consume him. Lu Mingfei opens his mouth, and a voice silently whispers in his ear: "Angry? What good will that do? Just watch carefully, brother..."
"Who?" Lu Mingfei turns his head, looking around frantically, but finds no one.
-
The Serpent Society.
Sourceborn looks silently at Lu Mingfei, who stands alone in the corner, and sighs deeply. The story isn't over yet, everything is fleeting.
He observes Eri's expression, but he sees something strange in her face. The usually plain doll is actually showing a variety of emotions.
Sourceborn takes a closer look, and he sees a mix of heartache, joy, and other confusing emotions.
When did his seemingly blank paper of a sister become so sentimental?
Sourceborn can't figure it out, so he simply decides not to.

In the video:
Lu Mingfei feels himself freezing in the darkness, cold to his bones, as if his blood and bones are about to freeze.
But just as he's about to reach his limit.
The door opens!
An incredibly bright light bursts forth from outside!
A red-haired girl walks in from the light, like an angel spreading her wings.
"Li Gard, are you ready? When are we leaving?" The girl walks with confidence, like a world-famous model on the runway. She is followed by a group of servants in black, carrying many large bags, who approach Lu Mingfei.
Everyone present stares dumbfounded at the suddenly appearing red-haired girl, confused, bewildered, and mesmerized.
They've never seen a girl this beautiful. Only Chen Wenwen stares blankly and utters, "It's her?"
Chen Mo Tong claps her hands, and Lu Mingfei is immediately surrounded by servants who begin to dress him from head to toe.
Finally, a brand-new, dashing Lu Mingfei emerges.
Chen Mo Tong leans down, whispering in Lu Mingfei's ear, "Don't be shy."
Amidst everyone's shock and astonishment, Lu Mingfei straightens his back and stands shoulder to shoulder with the girl as they leave the gathering.
And under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Mingfei is led by the girl onto a Ferrari parked by the door. With the roar of the engine echoing in the night sky, they speed away.
"Wasn't it supposed to be today?" Lu Mingfei asks quietly in the passenger seat.
"I was just kidding," Chen Mo Tong says, "I knew you were going to fail your confession, and I also knew they were all ganging up to get you."
"Oh, right." Lu Mingfei smiles and scratches his nose.
"So, are you going to join the Kassel Academy?" Chen Mo Tong asks.
"Of course, I'm going in." The only thing that held Lu Mingfei back from going abroad has been shattered, what reason does he have to refuse?
Chen Mo Tong smiles slightly, "Norma, Lu Mingfei agrees to enroll."
"Beep, Lu Mingfei, congratulations on joining Kassel Academy."
A woman's voice comes from the phone.
