In the second year of knowing my dream guy, he said that if I confessed to him 100 times, he would marry me and register our marriage.
Over the next three years, as he wished, I confessed to him 99 times, and each time he gladly accepted.
Everyone thought we had long confirmed our relationship, and even I thought so.
But just when I was about to make the final confession, through the door, I heard his conversation with his buddies.
"Brother Zhou, I heard Sister Xu Mo came back a few days ago. Are you going to rekindle your old romance with her?"
"Brother Zhou really has perseverance. To get back at Sister Xu Mo for leaving, he's tangled with that fool Ye Qinghe for so long."
At that moment, I felt like I was plunged into an ice cave.
Turns out, I was just a tool he used to get revenge on his first love.
Turns out, the love I believed in was just a joke.
That day, I agreed to my parents' request and moved abroad with them.
But after I left, he went crazy, searching for me everywhere.

In the restaurant private room, Pei Lizhou's conversation with his buddies left me stunned in place.
The roses I was holding in my arms scattered all over the floor.
After three years together, today was the day I planned to confess to him for the 100th time.
I thought after today, he would fulfill his promise and register our marriage.
I thought he loved me as much as I loved him over these three years.
But now I realize, the 99 confessions were merely a one-man show.
And I had always been his substitute for revenge against his first love.
I stopped at the door for over a minute before I mustered the courage to walk in.
At my appearance, the entire room fell silent, and Pei Lizhou's face showed a hint of panic.
"Qinghe... how come you're here, when did you arrive?"
"Just arrived." I replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, he seemed to confirm that I hadn't heard anything, and he let out a breath of relief, the panic on his face fading away.
If I hadn't heard those words earlier, I probably would have been fooled by his facade as usual.
But now, my heart is only filled with coldness.
The banquet hadn't ended, but I made an excuse to leave early and went back home.
To be precise, Pei Lizhou's home.
After my 3rd confession to him, he had already given me the key to his house, asking me to move in with him.
I naively thought that it was the official confirmation of our relationship.
Thinking about it now, it's truly laughable.
As soon as I got home, I called my mom.
"Mom, I've decided, in three days, I'm moving abroad with you!"
Just five days ago, dad received a work transfer abroad, and the family was originally planning to move abroad, but I kept rejecting their proposal because I couldn't bear to leave Pei Lizhou.
But now, there's no need for that.
