Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Don’t CryHe wanted to say that the notebook had been thrown into the trash can and was now too dirty to look at.

    But Cheng Lie couldn’t bring himself to say it.

    Yun Shifei was so smart, she’d definitely figure it out, and maybe even start another conflict with the Cheng Family.

    He was afraid Cheng Guomin would notice her.

    Since he couldn’t give it to her, he could only fabricate a lie and tell Yun Shifei that he accidentally lost the notebook.

    "Really lost it?" Yun Shifei’s voice was no longer as impatient as before; she was trying hard to calm herself.

    She couldn’t lose her temper with Cheng Lie, after all, Cheng Lie was rather special.

    Cheng Lie heard her tone soften a bit and looked up at her.

    The girl’s eyes were red, looking aggrieved, as if she wanted to get angry but didn’t know how.

    In the end, she could only keep the anger to herself.

    That pitiful look made Cheng Lie’s heart ache a little.

    She was considering him, so she didn’t get angry, right?

    But she was also even more wronged because of it.

    Yun Shifei knew that if Cheng Lie didn’t want to talk, he wouldn’t say a word, even if he was at fault.

    But as long as he didn’t want to speak, others couldn’t do anything to him.

    And she, no matter how angry, couldn’t force Cheng Lie to speak.

    Firstly, he had autism, and secondly, his aura of dominance made her somewhat fearful.

    So, all the grievances she could only take upon herself.

    Just then, the class bell rang, and Yun Shifei sighed and turned back to her seat.

    She accepted her fate and decided to rewrite the notes.

    She was actually quite optimistic, thinking that if she reorganized the notes again, she might deepen her impression and possibly make greater improvement.

    It wasn’t so bad after all.

    As she was about to leave, someone suddenly grasped her wrist.

    She turned her head and looked at Cheng Lie.

    The young man took a handful of candy out of his bag and placed it in her hand, saying softly, "Don’t cry."

    The indifferent expression and the icy voice were like ice cubes crashing onto her.

    Yun Shifei initially didn’t feel like crying, but now she really wanted to.

    Why did he always have a bossy tone!

    This person was so annoying.

    However, considering he gave her so many candies, she’d forgive him for now.

    Yun Shifei looked at the various flavored candies in her hand; didn’t Zhao Haishuang say Cheng Lie didn’t like sweets? If he didn’t like them, why did he bring so many?

    Moreover, there were many flavors she hadn’t tried before.

    They looked delicious.

    Munching on candy, Yun Shifei thought.

    And Cheng Lie, because of Yun Shifei, was in a daze the whole day.

    He didn’t know whether Yun Shifei would forgive him. Maybe he should apologize again more seriously.

    The notebook was too dirty to return it to her.

    But he also knew how much effort Yun Shifei put into that notebook.

    For it to just disappear, she must feel terrible inside.

    So after school, as Cheng Lie and Yun Shifei walked out, he said, "I’m sorry."

    Yun Shifei was momentarily stunned before realizing he was apologizing for the notebook.

    Watching him lower his eyes, long lashes fluttering beneath, looking incredibly obedient.

    This look made one feel protective, how could one bear to blame him?

    "It’s fine." Yun Shifei smiled, "I don’t blame you."

    Hearing this, Cheng Lie looked up at Yun Shifei, his expression seemed to question, ’Really, you don’t blame me?’

    A handsome, icy face now filled with doubt, Yun Shifei only found it adorable.

    She thought for a while, then took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Cheng Lie.

    It was a White Rabbit milk candy.

    It wasn’t from the ones he gave her in the morning.

    Cheng Lie took it.

    He was so well-behaved that even if he was wrong, how could she bear to scold him!

    Yun Shifei couldn’t help but think about what Cheng Guomin was thinking.

    Honestly, if she had such a well-behaved child, she wouldn’t know how to pamper them enough.

    Look at Yun Sisi, who was so two-faced, yet her parents doted on her so much; why couldn’t Cheng Lie receive the same?

    And Cheng Lie, receiving the candy, thought, Yun Shifei gave him what she liked, proving she genuinely didn’t blame him.

    Her easy forgiveness left Cheng Lie with those weird yet warm feelings inside.

    Is this what friendship feels like?

    He glanced sideways at the girl beside him; she was unwrapping a candy and stuffing it into her mouth, looking carefree.

    He felt a tinge of envy.

    They were like being under the sunlight, and he in the gutter.

    ...

    It wasn’t until the eve of Mu Chengzhu’s birthday that Yun Shifei remembered his birthday.

    It wasn’t that she remembered it herself, but because Yun Sisi brought a few dresses to compare in front of her, asking which one looked better, that she recalled.

    Yun Sisi’s dresses were all of a similar style: white, pink, blue, making her look ethereal.

    This perfectly suited the pure and touching image Yun Sisi wanted to create.

    Boys at this age liked the type who were delicate and innocent, sweet and lovely.

    Although Yun Sisi’s looks were slightly classical, with a bit of a frail appearance, it didn’t stop her from dressing sweetly.

    After all, people are judged by their appearance.

    Yun Shifei casually pointed to a dress, "This one looks good."

    She didn’t want to talk to Yun Sisi at all.

    But Yun Sisi clung to her.

    "Sister, I remember you also have a pink dress; why don’t we wear them together?" She looked excited.

    She still remembered Yun Shifei imitating her dressing style before.

    She even bought an identical dress.

    But when she wore that dress, she looked like a little fairy.

    And Yun Shifei, when she wore it...

    With her dark skin and bony figure, her aura was particularly lacking.

    Wearing such a dress, she looked like a country girl who just entered the city!

    The scene made Yun Sisi unable to control her laughter.

    "I don’t want to wear that dress." Yun Shifei knew what Yun Sisi was up to and felt a headache.

    She no longer initiated confrontation with Yun Sisi; when would Yun Sisi stop provoking her?

    Yun Sisi’s smile stiffened, and her expression turned into a look that seemed on the verge of tears: "Why sister, do you dislike me?"

    She was always good at exaggerating.

    Although she did dislike Yun Sisi, she couldn’t voice it now. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Sisi, you misunderstood; I just don’t like that style of clothing anymore."

    She did like it.

    Which girl wouldn’t want to be a little fairy occasionally?

    It’s just that at this moment, she wasn’t yet qualified to be a fairy.

    She rummaged through her wardrobe and finally found a plain dress.

    A light green dress, simple, without any adornment, so low-key that at that kind of event, she would easily blend into the crowd.

    This was the effect Yun Shifei hoped for.

    In the past, in the eyes of the children from the neighborhood, she was a joke.

    None of them respected her.

    They all believed her presence led to Yun Sisi being ostracized.

    Yun Sisi was their neighborhood’s little princess; she was an outsider.

    So, no matter what activities there were, they never invited her.

    In her past life, to fit in, she wanted to be wherever Yun Sisi went, hoping Yun Sisi would take her along.

    After falling for Mu Chengzhu, she became even more desperate.

    She wanted her peers in the neighborhood to accept her, trying hard to befriend everyone, which turned her into a joke.
