Chapter 325: Chapter 325: A Little Waste

"You’re utterly useless!" Yun Shifei glared at Qin Yumo angrily, momentarily forgetting her fear in her fury.

She decided not to talk to Qin Yumo anymore; whenever he spoke, he always had that sarcastically teasing tone.

She was going to ask Cheng Lie instead.

Actually, after hearing what Qin Yumo said, she started to seriously worry about Cheng Lie. No wonder his tone in recent calls carried a sense of exhaustion. No wonder he had refused her and suddenly become so busy—it was all because... because of that.

Yet she had been kept completely in the dark.

Seeing Yun Shifei defending Cheng Lie like this, Qin Yumo couldn’t help but feel a touch of dissatisfaction. "Is he really that good in your eyes?"

"Of course."

Qin Yumo chuckled, the glint in his peach blossom eyes shining brightly, seemingly unbothered by Yun Shifei’s mockery.

In his view, this girl was overly naive and adorable. Even now, she still defended him? She clearly hadn’t faced the harsh realities of life. Once she experienced the struggles of poverty or saw her weak, inept boyfriend, would she still like him?

Qin Yumo believed that everyone, ultimately, is greedy and driven by self-interest. Was there ever truly such pure love in reality?

He had adjusted his strategy—no longer keeping her tightly under his control as he used to.

Only when she tasted the bitterness herself would she realize that being with him was her path to happiness.

Yun Shifei skipped going back to school and went straight to Cheng Lie’s place to look for him.

She had already thought of an excuse—last year when she returned home, she had given Cheng Lie a little snowman to take care of, but she hadn’t retrieved it yet. This time, that would be her excuse.

Still, she felt slightly apprehensive about Cheng Lie’s mood lately and worried that visiting might disturb him.
