Mountain high, emperor far—he can’t possibly co to Beijing as easily and freely as he used to anymore.
Thinking of this, Yun Shifei suddenly felt bolder and turned to ask Cheng Lie, "Why do they give you candy?"
Probably since breaking up with him, this was the first ti she’d actively started a conversation with Cheng Lie.
She was so nervous she thought she might die.
Cheng Lie heard her question and turned his gaze slightly: "Maybe they think I like candy."
Yun Shifei suddenly rembered the candy she’d left on Cheng Lie’s desk yesterday, before leaving right afterward. Was it sothing he’d done that made them think he liked candy?
Thinking of this, Yun Shifei’s ears inexplicably heated up, and her guilt deepened.
What should she do...
But now wasn’t the ti to make up yet, she was afraid of hurting Cheng Lie again.
Cheng Lie took note of Yun Shifei’s conflicted expression, pressing his lips together.
She was retreating into herself like a hedgehog again.
He realized that he was soone who lacked a sense of security, yet Yun Shifei proved even more timid than him when it ca to relationships.
But she had taught him how to love soone, and he would never allow her to leave just like that.
Well then, perhaps it was now his turn to teach her how to be proactive with soone she liked.
Yun Shifei started chatting with Cheng Cheng in their chatroom again.
"What would you do if you broke up with your boyfriend but wanted to reconcile?" she asked.
"Just say it directly."
Seeing Cheng Cheng’s reply, Yun Shifei was startled, quickly responding, "No way, just thinking about it feels so awkward."
"Not at all. If you like him, you should say it sooner. Otherwise, you’ll regret it later."
Yun Shifei thought about it and felt Cheng Cheng made a decent point.
"If it were you, would you say it directly too?"
"Of course. Aren’t you afraid he’ll fall for soone else?"
Would Cheng Lie fall for soone else?
Yun Shifei felt like he would.
Apart from Wen Lin, surely there were plenty of other outstanding girls around him.
And she... wasn’t outstanding at all.
Standing next to him, she was so dim and lackluster.
But, at the sa ti, she couldn’t bring herself to imagine Cheng Lie with another woman in the future.
Thinking of this, Yun Shifei felt deeply disheartened.
Still, she knew she couldn’t keep dragging Cheng Cheng down. No matter how much she talked about it, she couldn’t seem to escape her own shadow.
The main problem was she still feared Mu Chengzhu; he wasn’t soone easy to deal with. Thinking back to her previous life, when he had pushed her off that high building, she shivered all over.
What a cold-blooded man; even to a stranger, he wouldn’t have been so ruthless.
Let alone soone like her, who had treated him so well, yet failed to stir even a shred of emotion in him.
Soone so deeply calculating, so utterly heartless—she had no ability to handle him.
And Cheng Lie? He hadn’t lived through an extra lifeti like Mu Chengzhu, which just wasn’t fair!
So now, she needed to tread cautiously and avoid negatively impacting Cheng Lie whenever possible.
She wished for his bright and prosperous future.
She casually redirected the topic: "I can’t accept the thought of him liking soone else! Ugh, this is so ssy; I need to think it through. Oh, right, Cheng Cheng, what kind of food do you like? Which restaurant should we et at later? I can’t wait!"
After a while, Cheng Cheng finally replied: "I can eat anything."
Yun Shifei, thinking about the current weather—it was almost sumr—said, "Then let’s eat hot pot. If we don’t eat now, we’ll have to wait until winter."
"Okay," Cheng Cheng replied.
Cheng Cheng seed really nice, though his words were a bit cold, he was very easy to get along with! Yun Shifei was already looking forward to eting him.
After chatting, Yun Shifei returned to the dorm from the computer room and bumped into Xu Yuejiao.
"Feifei, where did you go? I just ca down from your dorm, and your roommates said you weren’t there."
Yun Shifei glanced over Xu Yuejiao’s appearance; her style had improved leaps and bounds, following the tips she’d given her previously. She looked exceptionally refined and even quite elegant.
However, there seed to be a hint of lancholy on her face.
"I just went to the computer room," Yun Shifei replied.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuejiao didn’t say much. She pulled Yun Shifei over to a nearby chair to sit down and asked, "Feifei, do you think I look good?"
Yun Shifei nodded: "Sister Jiaojiao, you look very good."
Hearing this, Xu Yuejiao lowered her gaze: "Then why doesn’t Zhou Li like ?"
Yun Shifei was stunned—how was she supposed to answer this?
Though she hadn’t t Zhou Li, it was hard to say. But based on what she’d heard from Ming Jingru, it seed Zhou Li was quite popular with many people.
Probably so kind of school heartthrob or sothing.
"Sister Jiaojiao, have you been facing so trouble recently?"
Xu Yuejiao nodded vigorously: "Didn’t I tell you I was pursuing Zhou Li? I’ve been chasing him for so long, but he still doesn’t like at all."
Xu Yuejiao looked visibly tired: "I heard from his friends that he seems to like girls like Ming Jingru."
Elegant, gentle, and lovely girls—not soone like her, with a bold and carefree personality, even a bit tomboyish.
"His friend even said that no matter how great I dress, my inherent aura is different." Xu Yuejiao frowned and looked at Yun Shifei, "Feifei, am I really that unworthy?"
For the first ti ever, Yun Shifei saw self-doubt on Xu Yuejiao’s face, and she instantly felt outraged.
What kind of guy could make her confident Sister Jiaojiao feel so humbled by love?
If he didn’t like her, that was one thing—but to belittle her?
"Sister Jiaojiao, didn’t you always tell not to get stuck on one tree? Why don’t we try climbing so different ones?"
"I... all those things I said before were nonsense. I’ve never seriously liked anyone before."
"Feifei, could you help out?" Xu Yuejiao said, grabbing Yun Shifei’s hand, "The reason I ca to find you today is that only you can help , Sister! You know his friends don’t like , and Zhou Li is at another school right now for an exchange program. I want his contact info, but they keep blocking —how can I possibly win him over like this? Can you deliver a letter to Zhou Li for instead?"
Yun Shifei: "???"
What kind of bizarre request was this?
Yun Shifei found it odd: "Sister Jiaojiao, who suggested this to you?"
"Ming Jingru told . She said my frequent appearances around Zhou Li were annoying him more and more. She said I should stop hanging around him and that I might as well let you deliver a love letter to him. Maybe that way, he might let see him... So I’ve decided to confess one last ti. If he still doesn’t accept , then I’ll let it go and pretend I never liked him."
Xu Yuejiao felt a little embarrassed; she knew she was just relying on Yun Shifei’s looks to get Zhou Li’s friends to pass along the letter.
Ming Jingru?
Yun Shifei had disliked her ever since that last encounter. She had no idea what Ming Jingru had said to Xu Yuejiao.
Though Xu Yuejiao seed outgoing, she was actually quite naive.
Ming Jingru surely exploited that.
