With My Profound Love, I Offer to the Years

Chapter 25

After coming out of the hall, Shen Nian's mind was somewhat chaotic, and in her mind's eye, she uncontrollably flashed back to his pair of hot eyes.

The way he used to look at her was angry, resentful, cold.

It seemed that he had not looked at her so seriously for a long time.

Just one look almost made her unable to withstand it.

Shen Nian walked ahead with her head down absent-mindedly. Suddenly she bumped into something and took a step back.

"Nian Nian?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Nian looked up and saw the familiar face, somewhat surprised, "Xiao Mubai?"

"You came too?" Shen Nian asked.

Seeing Shen Nian, Xiao Mubai revealed a gentle smile, "I didn't originally plan on coming, but later I thought that the school's centennial celebration only happens once, if I missed it, it would be gone, so I still came."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Nian, "What's the matter? You don't look well, and you weren't even watching where you were walking."

Shen Nian smiled, "It's nothing, I just had a slight fever when I got up this morning."

After answering Xiao Mubai, Shen Nian very naturally changed the topic. Seeing him holding a pen in his hand, she asked again, "What are you doing?"

"I'm writing my wish."

"Wish?"

"Yes."

Following his gaze, Shen Nian only then noticed that there were red ribbons and cards tied all over the big tree next to them, like those wishing trees that are only seen in temples.

Looking at the tree, Xiao Mubai sank into his memories and called Shen Nian, "Nian Nian."

"Hmm?"

"Do you still remember this tree?"

Hearing this, Shen Nian looked at Xiao Mubai somewhat puzzled.

She didn't have any impression of this tree and didn't understand why Xiao Mubai would ask her that.

Seeing her puzzled look, Xiao Mubai smiled, "Wasn't there a tree I saved before?"

"Yes." Shen Nian nodded. She remembered this matter, "That tree was already dead. At that time, the school was going to contact workers to chop down the tree. You went to the principal yourself and said you would revive it..."

Recalling the events of the past, a smile flashed in Shen Nian's eyes. It seems that it was at that time that she first truly noticed Xiao Mubai.

She was inexperienced in the world. Anyway, having lived for so many years, Xiao Mubai was the first person she had ever seen who wanted to save a dead tree.

Seeing Xiao Mubai smile, Shen Nian suddenly understood. Looking at the big tree again, she said in surprise,

"This is it?"

"Yes." Xiao Mubai patted the tree, "Has it changed a lot?"

Yes, how could it not have changed a lot? Shen Nian didn't even recognize it.

She looked up at the things hanging on the tree, "How did this tree become a wishing tree?"

"After I revived this tree, I don't know how it came out that this tree had narrowly escaped death and was destined for good fortune afterwards. If you write down your wish and tie it to the tree, it will definitely come true. Later, even more outrageous rumors spread, and this tree became the wishing tree for University A and became one of the school's beautiful scenic spots."

After listening, Shen Nian laughed helplessly.

There are no such things as deities in this world. It's all just comforting oneself.

Xiao Mubai walked to the side where there was a small shelf in the bushes that looked like a mailbox. He opened the mailbox and inside there were many small cards and red ribbons.

He took one and a pen and came back to hand them to Shen Nian.

"What is this?" Shen Nian looked at the things in her hand, not understanding.

"To make it convenient for everyone to make wishes, the school specially put paper and pens here. You can write down your wish and then hang it in the highest place so that heaven can see your wish and help you make it come true."

Hearing this kind of childish talk from the mouth of a grown man, Shen Nian couldn't help chuckling, "I don't believe this stuff."

But Xiao Mubai looked at her very seriously, "You better believe it. I've heard that some students left messages here before, and then their wishes came true. It's because some people's wishes have come true that this wishing tree became so famous."

Handing the things to Shen Nian, he raised what was in his own hand, "Anyway, it doesn't cost any money, so just do it for fun and good luck."

Since Xiao Mubai said so, Shen Nian could only nod, "Alright then."

It was just for fun anyway.

In order to coax Shen Nian into writing one, Xiao Mubai wrote one as well.

Not far away there was a stone table. The two of them sat facing each other.

Seeing Xiao Mubai seriously writing out his wish, Shen Nian became serious as well.

She carefully considered it, then lowered her head to start writing.

After finishing, she folded the paper, put it in the red velvet bag, and wrote her name with a signature pen on the fabric.

Shen Nian.

Once everything was done, she gave the strings on both sides a pull and tied a knot so that others couldn't see the contents inside.

When she looked up after finishing, Xiao Mubai was also done on his side.

He held out his hand, "Do you want me to hang them up for you?"

Shen Nian looked down at her skirt and nodded, "Thanks."

"You're welcome," Xiao Mubai's eyebrows quirked up.

Taking off the suit jacket he was wearing, Xiao Mubai naturally handed it to her, "Hold this for me."

Shen Nian took the jacket.

He loosened his tie and undid the cuffs, rolling up his sleeves before taking both wishes and walking toward the wishing tree.

First looking for a spot, he then jumped up and very adeptly grabbed onto the tree trunk, slowly climbing up.

Watching from below, when Shen Nian saw that he had climbed high enough, she said, "It's fine to hang it there."

The higher up the tree, the thinner the branches, and it was easier to fall down. Shen Nian didn't believe there was such a thing as a wishing tree to begin with, so she didn't ask for her wish to be hung in the very highest spot for the heavens to see.

Xiao Mubai looked up and said to Shen Nian, "It's no problem, I can climb a bit higher."

After saying that, he stepped on another branch.

"Hey!" Shen Nian called out to him, but Xiao Mubai was very stubborn and insisted on climbing to the highest point.

Her heart was in her throat as she watched him climb higher and higher, but fortunately he made it up safely without incident. He first hung Shen Nian's wish in the highest place, then put his own wish next to Shen Nian's.

After tying them, he started climbing down.

Going down was much faster than going up. Stepping from branch to branch he made his way down until he was still more than two meters from the ground and simply jumped down directly.

Xiao Mubai slapped his hands and quirked his eyebrows at Shen Nian with a smile, "There, our wishes are in the highest place, so when Heaven is granting wishes, he'll see ours first."

Shen Nian threw his jacket at him, "You can actually laugh after doing something so dangerous!"

When Xiao Mubai had jumped down just now, he had accidentally stepped on a very thin branch in his hurry. The thin branch couldn't bear his weight and snapped directly. Fortunately Xiao Mubai reacted quickly and immediately steadied himself, otherwise falling from such a height, it would be a blessing from heaven if he didn't smash his head.

Xiao Mubai was hit by the jacket and pretended to complain bitterly, "I only climbed so high because I wanted your wish to be granted first."
