Chapter 6 - 6 So Obedient

"And yet, they want her to clean up? Isn't that going too far?"

Clouded with anger, Yun Shifei glared at Song Yang.

Even after coming back to life, Yun Shifei constantly reminded herself not to lose her temper, not to explode as easily as she had in the past.

But right now, she was finding it hard to hold back.

Yet shameless as ever, Song Yang seemed completely oblivious to her frustration.

People like Song Yang didn't yield to confrontation.

So what now?

School was already over. The classroom was nearly empty when Song Yang chose this moment to make a mess as dirty as possible.

He even went as far as knocking over the trash bin.

It was clear he was determined to bully Yun Shifei to the bitter end.

To him, this transfer student had hardly left an impression. She'd only been here a month, quiet and withdrawn, avoiding conversations with others.

"She'll probably be crying soon, huh?" The thought amused Song Yang.

He wouldn't hit girls—it'd look bad if word got out—but no one ever said he couldn't make them cry.

Deciding to prod her further, he said, "Hey, transfer student, you helped that idiot. Do you think he cares about you? That fool bolted straight home after school. Bet you feel pretty upset right now, huh?"

Yun Shifei glanced at Cheng Lie's desk. It was completely empty.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening roar. Then it began to rain.

In late spring to early summer, South City was humid and stifling. The air itself seemed to press down, making it hard to breathe.

While a rain like this might bring some relief, the musty, damp feeling it left behind was like being soaked through and unable to dry, deeply unpleasant.

This particular rain started just as Cheng Lie was nearing home.

Sudden and intense, it left many caught without umbrellas, drenched like wet chickens.

But Cheng Lie remained unaffected, sitting inside his car, the rain shut out by the glass windows.

He stared out at the raindrops sliding down the glass, lost in thought.

Suddenly, he thought of that girl.

The one who stood in front of him when he was being bullied, only to get cornered by Song Yang after school and forced to clean up.

He saw Song Yang deliberately make a mess in the classroom, just to torment Yun Shifei.

Yet he didn't step in to stop it.
