The corridor was bustling with students, yet this corner by the staircase remained untouched by anyone.
The two of them stood here, and Yun Sisi couldn’t help but feel a slight chill all over her body.
"So, you’re the one who frad this ti?"
"Absolutely not." Yun Shifei found Yun Sisi’s thought process sotis downright odd.
She herself enjoyed framing others, so did she simply assu everyone else would enjoy doing the sa?
But looking at Yun Sisi now, Yun Shifei felt a pang of doubt—perhaps that incident involving Song Yang wasn’t her doing after all?
"Sister, I know I wronged you in the past, but wasn’t that incident resolved already? You can’t repay with revenge like this! You’ve... ruined for life." Yun Sisi beca anxious, her tone a bit frantic.
Clearly, knowing Yun Shifei still rembered the last incident unsettled her.
This ti she was targeted like this—what other tactics might follow next ti?
She was starting to feel afraid.
Not of Yun Shifei’s thods, but of the sheer absurdity of the situation—that no one believed her words.
On top of that, even her own mory felt muddled.
She clearly rembered it being Cheng Lie, so why was there no evidence...
Yun Shifei looked at Yun Sisi, observing her expression closely.
At this mont, she truly didn’t seem like she was lying.
Actually, whether Yun Sisi lied or not, her expression gave it away.
Whenever she lied, her blinking frequency would noticeably increase.
Her hands would unconsciously fidget a bit more.
But when she wasn’t lying, she would stare intently at others, trying to make them believe her.
Sotis Yun Shifei would think that Yun Sisi’s acting could be too heavy-handed.
Especially when she cried—she focused excessively on setting the atmosphere.
But her outward appearance was so disarming that many people didn’t believe she lied.
Like Xu Ya.
Anyone as rational as Yun Tiancheng would easily notice how full of holes Yun Sisi’s actions were.
Yet if she wasn’t lying now, then what was the truth?
It couldn’t really be Cheng Lie who hard her, could it?
Yun Shifei suddenly rembered the lunch hour on the day Yun Sisi had gotten into trouble. Cheng Lie, who usually lay quietly sleeping at his desk, had inexplicably left for a while...
Then she recalled the things Cheng Lie had done in her past life.
No way. Wasn’t he sick at this ti?
"Yun Shifei, what are you doing?"
Yun Shifei was still lost in thought when suddenly a voice sounded from behind her.
She turned around and saw Mu Chengzhu’s angry face.
Yun Sisi imdiately leaned toward him the mont she saw him.
"Brother Mu, don’t bla my sister. She didn’t do it on purpose..."
Tears still adorned her face, making her look pitiful.
"Who told to have such a ruined reputation now? No one likes anymore."
Yun Shifei: "..."
Yun Sisi’s words felt incomprehensible to her.
Yun Sisi had actually arranged for Mu Chengzhu to co, intending to explain her situation with Song Yang.
After thinking it over, she decided to deal with Yun Shifei and Mu Chengzhu at the sa ti, deliberately dragging Yun Shifei to the stairwell so that when Mu Chengzhu arrived, he would see Yun Shifei "bullying" her.
This way, Mu Chengzhu would feel the urge to play the hero, and as she explained she had been wronged, he would surely believe her.
Yun Sisi had calculated everything in her mind.
She wanted to recover as much as possible from her losses.
It didn’t matter if others refused to believe her—she just needed Mu Chengzhu’s trust to make it all worthwhile.
When Yun Sisi leaned closer to Mu Chengzhu, his body stiffened involuntarily.
In the past, if Yun Sisi behaved like this, he would have felt so joy inside.
But now, Mu Chengzhu couldn’t help thinking of Yun Shifei’s words from before.
Yun Sisi didn’t truly like him; she only pursued him because Yun Shifei cared for him.
These past few days, Mu Chengzhu had found himself recalling Yun Shifei’s words repeatedly, and when he looked at Yun Sisi now, a seed of doubt began to sprout.
Once the seed of doubt took root in one’s heart, it beca nearly impossible to uproot.
Yun Sisi was perceptive—when she had leaned on Mu Chengzhu before, he would always extend his arms to protect her.
But now, his hands moved slightly before dropping back down.
What was this? Even Mu Chengzhu didn’t believe her anymore?
Yun Sisi felt anger bubbling inside, but outwardly she continued to feign pity, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Brother Mu, tell —does no one like anymore? If I had known it would end up like this, I would have just dropped out of school."
"Sisi, don’t say that. I know you were wronged. Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully you."
Even though his rational mind made Mu Chengzhu slightly suspicious, he still instinctively blurted out these words.
After speaking, he glanced at Yun Shifei, who looked at him with an expressionless face.
It was strange—after hearing his words, Yun Shifei showed no sign of disappointnt.
Could it be she wasn’t hoping for him to break ties with Yun Sisi?
What he didn’t understand was that because Yun Shifei had no expectations of him whatsoever, disappointnt was unnecessary.
Ding-ding-ding—
The sound of the school bell echoed in the air.
Yun Shifei turned without a word and walked back to the classroom.
Yun Sisi watched her retreating figure with the pride of a victor.
Even if Yun Shifei no longer had feelings for Mu Chengzhu, Yun Sisi was determined to cling tightly to him. The more people liked her, the more satisfied she felt.
Yun Shifei, however, was contemplating whether what Yun Sisi had said could be true.
She didn’t want Cheng Lie to be involved in anything like that.
Especially since actions like this could slip up easily and cause him trouble.
After school, Yun Shifei suddenly said to Cheng Lie, "Let’s go to that dessert place we visited last ti."
Cheng Lie paused briefly before nodding.
Yun Shifei ordered so small cakes, including a few for Cheng Lie.
As she ate, she said, "Today my sister ca to find . She kept saying she was frad."
In an instant, Cheng Lie understood the underlying aning of Yun Shifei’s words.
He had always been observant of emotions, and Yun Shifei wasn’t soone adept at hiding hers.
Her emotions—joy, anger, sorrow—were practically written all over her face. She was suspicious of him.
Yun Shifei spoke while cautiously observing Cheng Lie.
The boy’s expression remained indifferent as he stared at her silently.
As if he couldn’t grasp what she ant.
Yun Shifei sighed inwardly and asked outright, "I don’t doubt you entirely. It’s just... There’s sothing strange about this whole situation, so I want to ask—did you have nothing to do with it?"
After speaking, Yun Shifei avoided his gaze.
She felt ashad, lowering her head, her ear tips flushed red.
She knew that by voicing such a question, she was admitting to doubting Cheng Lie.
Surely, this would hurt him.
Such a well-behaved boy—how could he possibly do such a thing?
Still, in her past life, two years later, Cheng Lie turned into the Great Demon King. She just wanted to confirm whether this version of Cheng Lie had already begun to change.
She felt a flicker of fear...
Cheng Lie’s eyes rested on Yun Shifei. Despite her suspicion, she was already feeling guilty before receiving an answer.
What was this kind of psychology?
After studying her for a while, Cheng Lie finally said, "No."
His speech was slow, deliberate, with each word clearly pronounced.
But those two words were like a shot of adrenaline for Yun Shifei, dispelling the fog of doubt lingering in her heart.
"I knew it wasn’t you. Yun Sisi was just spouting nonsense."
Two years later, Cheng Lie’s illness would finally improve, and only then would he transform into the Great Demon King.
Right now, he was still just a pitiful boy—how could he possibly have the ability to harm others?
