Chapter 271 Breaking Up With Him

Chapter 271: Chapter 271 Breaking Up With Him

At this very moment, Yun Shifei realized that she didn’t understand Cheng Lie at all. He was like a cloud of

mystery, so enigmatic that she couldn't even dig deeper if she wanted to.

Perhaps, to put it another way, the side he showed her was the side he wanted her to see.

He was always so well-behaved in front of her, yet behind the scenes, he could be ruthless enough to turn the

Cheng Family into what it had become.

Initially, Yun Shifei hadn’t thought much about it, believing that even if he did such things, he wasn’t that bad of

a person, just that the Cheng Family had been pressuring him for too long.

Besides, seeing is believing. She had spent so much twith him and knew his character.

But now, looking back, Yun Shifei couldn’t help but ponder the question: is what you see truly real?

She felt like a fool. Having already learned a painful lesson in her past life, why hadn’t she been wiser after being

reborn? Why was she repeating the smistakes?

If only...

The wind nearly made Yun Shifei’s nose run as she took out a tissue from her pocket to wipe it.

She thought about the past life. If Cheng Lie was pretending from start to finish, then when they were trapped in

that abandoned house by Yun Sisi’s scheming, was he actually aware of it?

And when he watched her desperately try to clear her name, he stood quietly by the side.

Did he just watch as her family abandoned her, as the school expelled her, as her future was destroyed?

The more she thought, the more Yun Shifei felt this person was terrifying. If he could have stood up and clarified

the situation, with his intelligence, resolving this should have been easy.

Then, her past life wouldn't have turned out the way it did.

Even though most of it was because of her own foolishness, Yun Shifei still couldn't let go of certain things.

This turning point in her life didn’t have to be that way.

If only... but unfortunately, there is no "if only."

She sat by the lakeside thinking all afternoon, blown by the wind all afternoon, without eating. When she

returned to the dorm, she lay down on her bed and fell asleep.

Her roommates returned, and Yu Liantao couldn’t help but pull on Yun Shifei’s blanket when she saw her lying on

the bed: "Still sleeping? You didn’t go to class this afternoon? You usually never miss a single class, you know?"

Yun Shifei mumbled an acknowledgment, and after a while, said, "It’s too cold, | didn’t want to go to class."

Such an excuse was very unusual for Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei lay in bed wanting to sleep, but couldn't fall asleep; all she could think of were the moments she

shared with Cheng Lie.

Thinking about how he deceived her made her particularly angry.

She wished she could cut ties with him!

Did being a big shot make him so special? Did it mean he could just toy with people?

Moreover! His past actions were so affectionate, with hugs and kisses, knowing full well that there should be a

distance between men and women.

And yet! She had treated him as a child who didn’t know better!

She was really angry! Almost to the point of tears, desperately wanting to ask him why he played with her

feelings!

Letting her gradually develop feelings for him, but him? He remained detached, as if he never had such feelings

toward her.

If she hadn't accidentally found out what she wanted to know from Zhao Pan, was he planning to keep it from

her forever?

And he certainly knew she liked him!

He’s so smart, and she’s not good at hiding her feelings, how could he not know she liked him?

At that moment, Yun Shifei felt like she’d been made a fool of, getting more upset the more she thought about it.

She had always been an extremely emotional person, unable to help but cry under the blanket.

She was truly heartbroken, losing such a good friend and a budding romance that hadn’t even begun.

She thought to herself, she’d never fall in love again, having been hurt so deeply in her past life.

Why, in this life, did she still rush headlong into it? Like a fool.

In the evening, Cheng Lie had finished handling his matters, even took a shower and dried his hair.

Yet Yun Shifei still hadn't called him.

Usually, Yun Shifei would call around nine because she'd go to bed after ten.

But today, it was unusual.

Cheng Lie glanced at the clock, it was 9:40.

After thinking for a moment, he dialed Yun Shifei’s number.

By this time, Yun Shifei had already entered the dreamland.

After crying, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep.

The phone ringing woke her up.

Yun Shifei instinctively answered the call, but soon realized this phone was the one Cheng Lie gave her

specifically to keep in contact with him.

The only person who would call would be Cheng Lie.

Although Yun Shifei wanted to hang up, she didn’t have the courage since she already answered.

"Shifei, you forgot to calltonight."

On the other end, a young voice cthrough, low and with a hint of grievance.

He's pretending to be pitiful again! He's such a cold-hearted person!

Yun Shifei was angry, but her heart softened against her will.

"| fell asleep, sorry."

But that wasn’t true! She actually wanted to question Cheng Lie, why he had deceived her for so long, if he

thought she was easy to fool.

But when it cto speaking, it was like her words were blocked, completely unable to say them.

She didn’t even have the courage to ask, how cowardly.

Cheng Lie also heard the drowsy laziness in Yun Shifei’s voice, like being woken from sleep, much softer than

usual.

So, he didn't notice anything strange

"Mm, a bit tired."

"Then rest early."

"Okay... you too."

Cheng Lie responded with a hum.

Afterward, Yun Shifei hung up and wrapped herself from head to toe in the blanket.

Sleep, sleep!

Tomorrow she had to be strong and confront Cheng Lie.

Who would have thought a heart could be shattered in an instant?

She once thought she must work hard, hard enough to reach Cheng Lie’s level, to be equal and worthy of him.

But now, that determination disappeared all of a sudden.

Because she realized she no longer

Indeed, the Cheng Lie she liked was the one he pretended to be, and that Cheng Lie was gone.

No! She couldn’t continue to think this way, or else she'd cry again.

Yun Shifei took a deep breath, forcing herself to quickly fall asleep.

The next day, Yun Shifei regained her

The feeling of converting sadness into appetite was so comforting.

After eating, she went to class.

Now, having lost a goal to strive for, Yun Shifei quickly set a new one to avoid feeling empty.
