Thinking of this, Yun Shifei wasn't as afraid anymore.
Besides, she was soone who had already faced death once. Compared to life and death, everything else seed trivial.
Song Yang squinted at Yun Shifei, as if he were watching a joke unfold.
"A neighbor? There are plenty of people in our class who live near him, but none of them treat him so well. Don't tell you've fallen for this idiot?" Song Yang said this and couldn't help but laugh, his voice lifting slightly. "You must like him, right?"
High schoolers—the age when feelings first begin to blossom.
In class, there were always students talking about who liked who. If soone treated another person a little better, they'd inevitably be deed as having a crush.
But Yun Shifei didn't like Cheng Lie. She only wanted to help him.
"Song Yang, stop talking nonsense!"
"How am I talking nonsense? If you don't like him, why are you treating him so well? In this world, no one would be nice to soone else for no reason."
A boy who didn't enjoy studying said sothing surprisingly philosophical.
Yun Shifei was stumped and couldn't find a way to reply.
After a long pause, she weakly said, "I do like Cheng Lie."
Upon hearing this, Song Yang widened his eyes and stared at Yun Shifei like she was an alien.
"You like this idiot?"
Even though Cheng Lie had good looks, his cold and gloomy aura, coupled with his autism, overshadowed his physical attractiveness.
High school girls confidently believed they weren't shallow anymore, that their admiration was reserved for boys who were attractive, perford well academically, and ticked all the right boxes.
Soone like Cheng Lie, who had only good looks but was flawed inside, was not on their radar.
So, as soon as Yun Shifei said this, nearby students couldn't help but gasp.
But Yun Shifei quickly added, "It's the kind of liking a sister has for her brother."
"Our family is close with his family. You all saw Uncle Cheng co over yesterday."
Yun Shifei spoke earnestly, with a blend of timidity and courage that sohow made her incredibly convincing.
Song Yang had skipped class and left early yesterday, so he didn't see what had happened. He glanced at a nearby classmate who lived in the sa neighborhood as Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie.
"Cheng Lie's dad did co over yesterday. He even talked to Yun Shifei at the entrance for quite a while."
So it turned out to be true!
Song Yang let out a cold snort and looked at Yun Shifei. "So, does this an I can't bully this little idiot anymore?"
Yun Shifei nodded.
The girl's bright eyes radiated determination, as if she'd made up her mind to protect Cheng Lie.
Fine then, Song Yang thought. For Yun Sisi's sake, he wouldn't bother arguing with Yun Shifei.
As for that little idiot, there wasn't anything interesting about him anyway.
Song Yang tossed another candy into his mouth and waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, I'll be generous and let it go this ti."
"Thank you," Yun Shifei exhaled in relief, flashing a radiant smile.
Song Yang was montarily stunned by her smile.
It was rare for soone to greet him with such a genuine smile.
The girl's curved brows and eyes stirred an odd feeling in Song Yang.
But he quickly suppressed it, curling his lips.
Tch, just a smile from an ugly duckling—why was he getting weird feelings about it? He must be sick.
Still, for soone who had done nothing but bad things all his life, being sincerely thanked was a rare and surprisingly pleasant experience.
Yun Shifei had no idea about all the little thoughts spinning around in Song Yang's mind. To her, she'd finally made it through this ordeal.
Just as she was about to leave, a voice suddenly ca from behind her. "Don't ddle in things that don't concern you."
The boy's cold and subdued voice carried an icy chill that pierced through the heat of the day, chilling everyone to the bone.
