I visited my parents through a dream. My mother's condition worsened, blaming herself for misjudging people and apologizing to her daughter.

I wiped away their tears, telling them I don't blame them. In the next life, I will still be their daughter.

Tears in my eyes, I said, "You have a brave daughter, so you must be brave parents too. Even without me, you must live well, or I really won't rest in peace."

They cried and promised me they would live well.

It was time to say goodbye to Yang Tan. I walked around his villa but never found the courage to face him.

The new animal-themed jewelry collection from their company looked beautiful, and I saw it.

I remembered when I was young, I boasted that when I became a chief designer, I would turn all the animals in the zoo into necklaces.

I said, "Why only the twelve zodiac animals? In the future, I want to create a zoo series so that everyone can buy their favorite animal necklace."

That day, Yang Tan, for once, didn't mock my idea but instead said he was looking forward to seeing what I could design.

My idea never came to fruition. Instead, my archenemy created it and named it the "To Friends" series.

I loved the little deer the most, with a small diamond on it.

Fall lingered around me, reluctant to let me go.

I hugged it and said, "Follow Yang Tan in the future. Besides being stubborn, he is actually a good person."

Yang Tan walked out of the house, reminiscent of the day I broke free from the dark fog. We stood face to face in the yard.

He was still dressed in black, a black turtleneck sweater, black pants, with a white deer brooch on his chest, giving off a funeral-like vibe.

I stood upright in front of him, bowed slightly, and sincerely said, "Yang Tan, thank you for helping me seek justice. Also, regarding my aunt, I have misunderstood and hurt you too much. I'm very sorry."

He stood quietly, still unable to see me or hear my words.

Realizing we had to part ways completely, I took a step forward and hugged him.

I said, "Don't keep wearing a cold face in the future; you scare away girls. Also, if you do something, let others know; they can't read minds. Lastly, take care."

I was about to leave his house, ready for the next cycle.

He called my name, "Lin Delu."

He paused and said, "In my heart, you have always been my acknowledged opponent and... friend."

I stopped, turned around, tears streaming down my face.

The youthful persistence finally received a response in this moment.
