The Tree God's voice was gentle, "Only the matter of affection requires you to tell him face-to-face with your own mouth."
"Why?"
"Because he wants to hear it."
I half-understood.
But now my mind was completely filled with Chi Lin Yuan.
The shy him, angry him, happy him, serious him, the him who stood up for me - like leaves swirling in the wind, circling around me.
Suddenly I wanted to rush to his side immediately and confess my feelings.
And I actually did it.
Just as I descended the mountain, Chi Lin Yuan was already at the foot, panting heavily.
"Jiang Xiao Yu, do you have something to tell me?"
His voice trembled with excitement, as if he couldn't wait either.
"Yes," I nodded, looking intently at him, "Chi Lin Yuan, I like you!"
"You really take advice well," he laughed, opening his arms to me, "I've been waiting so long to hear this."
"Although I already knew your feelings, hearing you say it still feels wonderful."
I threw myself into his embrace, listening to his thunderous heartbeat and soft panting.
"Jiang Xiao Yu, I like you too."
How fortunate you gave me this encounter.
I even believe you hold the entire universe.
I'll bring you joyful flowers from the mountains, bell-shaped blossoms, black hazelnuts, and baskets of wild kisses.
I will treat you like spring treats cherry trees.
Male Lead Extra: Xiaoyu Observation Diary
1
After fighting with family and feeling upset at school,
I often stayed on the ancient tree behind campus.
This cool, quiet place remained undisturbed.
Until today, when a timid voice below asked if the Tree God could grant wishes.
Annoyed at being woken, I suddenly became curious to hear this wish.
She wanted lots of money.
I scoffed - another greedy person.
When I threw money down, she actually believed it was divine intervention.
What a fool.
But then she said this money would ease her grandmother's hardships.
In that moment, I was moved - someone who put others first truly existed.
I wish someone would treat me like that.
Her joy made me happy too.
Always seen as a demon for causing trouble,
this was the first time someone saw me as a god.
Hmm... Being a god feels nice.

Since I started helping, I might as well continue.
When she came crying after being bullied the next day, I thought this.
She's too vulnerable.
Used to challenging the strong, maybe protecting the weak isn't bad.
Boring high school life needed some spice anyway.
After教训 her bullies, I transferred to her class.
First seeing her - round face, bright eyes darting nervously like a cornered fawn.
Honestly,
her appearance didn't matter.
But why did she have to be exactly my type?!

I'm used to complicated people -
those who speak half-truths for profit,
backstabbers with hidden agendas.
Like my half-brothers, mercurial father, scheming stepmother,
and calculating classmates.
Exhausting to deal with.
That's why I like Jiang Xiao Yu's simplicity.
Naively kind, transparent and tolerant.
Called a fool by all,
she's actually the wisest.
Being with her eases my anger.
I love teasing her pouting face.
Sometimes I desperately want her love -
that pure heart given completely to me,
those clear eyes only watching me.

OMG SHE KISSED ME!
SHE KISSED ME!!!
I'm exploding! Why does she act so normal?!
Does she kiss others often?!
5
Staying with her isn't entirely relaxing.
I struggle to restrain my eager hands and racing heart.
More than cheek-pinching,
I want greater intimacy.
Chi Lin Yuan, calm down.
She's young and innocent.
Don't be a beast.

Sometimes I think everyone's blind to Xiao Yu's goodness.
I want to shout to the world she's precious.
But their ignorance is fine -
she'll be mine alone.
I'll protect her.
7
We're together now.
She seems dazed about it.
No matter - stay by me, I'll wait for you to understand.
As for Zhou Chen - go bother someone else.
Thank you for being blind, letting me seize this chance (^V^)

Xiao Yu took me to meet her cousin.
Who immediately kicked me: "Now you've repaid your debt."
I remembered - she was the one I scolded and kicked down from the tree.
After inspecting me, she remarked: "Playing dual roles must be tiring."
I smiled: "You're not the fish, how know the fish's joy?"
Xiao Yu exclaimed: "Fish? Me?"
Patting her head: "This little fish is happy."
The cousin glared: "Ugh! Get lost, lovebirds!"
Then added: "Take good care of Jiang Xiao Yu."
I will.
It's my honor.

Xiao Yu's painting won an award -
a giant tree with white-bearded old man on branches,
a girl wishing below.
