Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Got Her Figured Out

In truth, she wasn’t really very angry, just unable to let go of the knot in her heart.

She had thought the ending could have had another possibility, but looking back now, she realized she had simply overthought it.

Yun Shifei felt a little disgusted with her own over-sensitivity.

"I understand now," Yun Shifei said as she stood up and looked at Zhao Pan, "Brother Zhao, thank you for telling me this. I’ll make up with Cheng Lie."

She decided that right now, immediately, she would go to Cheng Lie’s house to find him.

"Is Cheng Lie home right now?"

Zhao Pan was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. He nodded.

Just like that, Yun Shifei left, and Zhao Pan was still somewhat in a daze.

Originally, he thought it would take a lot more effort to persuade Yun Shifei to change her mind. He didn’t expect her to trust his words so quickly and rush off to see Cheng Lie.

He had always thought their misunderstanding wasn’t that deep, just separated by a thin layer of film. Someone needed to pierce it, and that person turned out to be him.

Yun Shifei ran off to find Cheng Lie.

Standing at Cheng Lie’s doorstep, she pressed the doorbell.

At that moment, Cheng Lie was planning to cook some noodles to eat.

Since Yun Shifei had visited his house once before and cooked him a meal, urging him to eat properly, Cheng Lie had obediently started cooking his own meals since then.

He had even begun seriously studying recipes, thinking that the next time Yun Shifei came to his house, he could cook a delicious meal for her.

But today, because he was injured, he could only manage to cook a simple bowl of noodles for himself.

There were still some frozen dumplings in the fridge from the last time Yun Shifei had bought groceries. He put a few of those in as well.

Hearing the doorbell ring, Cheng Lie walked over to open the door, assuming it was Zhao Pan.

But Zhao Pan had a spare key to his house, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to ring the doorbell.
