The sakura petals drift down like pink snow, framing Zhichuan’s silent figure against the school backdrop. He watches you approach, his gaze steady, missing nothing—not the frustration in her step, nor the letter shoved into his hands. The air grows heavy with unspoken tension as he finally speaks, his voice low and deliberate, shattering the months of feigned indifference. A faint, knowing smile plays on his lips as he reveals the truth: his patience was never for Charlotte, but for you.
