Chapter 10 - 10: Showing Off

At this moment, Mu Chengzhu, Mu Jiayu, and Yun Sisi were standing at the doorway, eyeing Yun Shifei with a hint of surprise.

Evidently, they had seen Uncle Cheng dropping her off just moments ago.

"Sister, was Uncle Cheng the one who brought you back just now?"

Yun Shifei nodded.

"Uncle Cheng is so nice," Yun Sisi smiled sweetly, her expression innocent and charming.

Under the gaze of the three, Yun Shifei felt extremely uncomfortable.

She lowered her head, carrying her backpack, and took one step after another toward the house entrance.

As a result, she got closer and closer to Yun Sisi's group.

The closer she got, the more intense the complicated feelings inside her became, weighing on her like a rock that kept her from breathing.

She still remembered—it was this same man, the man she had loved for so many years, who had pushed her off the building in her past life.

Yet at this moment, he was nothing but a sixteen-year-old boy with clean and handsome features.

Even with just a hurried glance earlier, it was clear that his allure could not be ignored.

Tall and elegant, with a gentle and refined demeanor.

But who could know how deceitful his heart truly was?

"Sister, I invited Brother Mu and Jia Yu to our house as guests," Yun Sisi added.

Her gaze fixed on Yun Shifei, as if expecting a good show.

She wasn't disappointed—Yun Shifei couldn't even look directly at Mu Chengzhu, still the same as before, shy as ever, wasn't she?

Whenever she saw Mu Chengzhu, Yun Shifei seemed to transform completely.

Clumsy on most occasions, and even worse when it came to facing Mu Chengzhu—she could barely utter a coherent word.

Yet, just as this thought flashed through Yun Sisi's mind, Yun Shifei lifted her head and greeted Mu Chengzhu and Mu Jiayu, "Hello."

Three simple words, exuding politeness and detachment.

And yet, this brief sentence flowed so smoothly and naturally.

Gone were her stammering days from before.
