Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Mu Chengzhu Also Arrives

Yun Shifei felt her scalp tingle as Cheng Huai stared at her and smiled.

However, she didn’t show it on her face.

She only wanted to go home quickly, not wanting to be alone with Cheng Huai.

Thankfully, Cheng Huai didn’t say much after that.

When they arrived at her door, Yun Shifei breathed a small sigh of relief. "Brother, thank you for walking me home. I’ll head in first."

Her smile was polite and distant, but since she was naturally beautiful, her smile could soften anyone’s heart.

Cheng Huai said, "Tomorrow, I’m going singing with my friends. Want to come with us?"

Yun Shifei froze for a moment, then shook her head. "I’m sorry, I have a lot of homework to do."

"It’ll only take two hours. It’s right at the karaoke spot next door. Won’t you give your brother some face?"

Yun Shifei was reluctant, but she wasn’t good at rejecting people. So, whenever someone spoke sincerely, she would instinctively agree.

But she really didn’t want to agree this time.

She wasn’t even close to Cheng Huai. If she went, would they just sit there awkwardly staring at each other?

So she forced herself to refuse. "I can’t. If my dad finds out I went out, he’ll scold me."

She even brought out Yun Tiancheng’s name. Surely Cheng Huai wouldn’t keep pushing her now.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Huai laughed upon hearing Yun Tiancheng’s name.

"When Uncle Yun left, he specifically asked me to look after you. Taking you out to have fun is part of that care. How about I call and ask him?"

When did that happen? Yun Shifei found it very strange.

She had no idea Yun Tiancheng had ever asked Cheng Huai for such an odd favor.

After all, from the time she had known Cheng Huai until now, they hadn’t exchanged more than a few sentences.

They had already spoken more today than they ever had before combined.

"Alright, it’s settled then. I’ll come by tomorrow afternoon to get you," Cheng Huai said and walked off before she could argue further.

Yun Shifei watched him walk away, frowning.

She really didn’t like the Cheng Family people. Except for Cheng Lie, how could they all be so overbearing?

Judging from their personalities, she could only imagine how much Cheng Lie must endure at home.

And he would have to endure it for another two years. Poor guy, truly poor guy.

She almost wanted to snatch Cheng Lie and bring him into her family. Might as well let her dad adopt him as a godson.

Yun Shifei was optimistic by nature and came to terms with the upcoming situation quickly.

But Yun Shifei certainly wasn’t going to go sing with Cheng Huai alone.

She decided to invite Sun Xiaoqi along.

Fortunately, Sun Xiaoqi was bored at home and, upon hearing about singing, was filled with excitement.

"Shifei, how did you know I love singing? I’m so good at it!"

"Alright then, just wait for me at our neighborhood gate. Don’t be late."

"Got it!" Sun Xiaoqi hung up the phone, still bubbling with excitement.

The next afternoon, Yun Shifei freshened up slightly before heading out.

She wore a thick pea-green padded coat, wrapping herself tightly.

The bulky outfit made her look round and chubby, but also quite adorable.

From a distance, Cheng Huai caught sight of her and couldn’t help but laugh a little.

Yun Shifei was still the same as before—plain and simple.

No matter how good-looking she was, it was still just a shell.

But precisely because of that, it made her easy to deceive.

"Let’s go," Cheng Huai said.

Yun Shifei quietly followed behind him.

Cheng Huai found it odd. The Yun Shifei who had refused him yesterday was now so compliant and silent?

He had thought she strongly disliked him.

But this was even better—his friends would surely be envious later on.

Not far away, Mu Chengzhu, who was heading out for an errand, saw Yun Shifei walking with Cheng Huai.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Most kids in their neighborhood knew each other, but they typically only played with others their own age.

Cheng Huai was older than them, carried himself like an adult, and had dated lots of girlfriends.

Mu Chengzhu and the others weren’t too fond of hanging out with Cheng Huai.

He had also never seen Cheng Huai interacting much with Yun Shifei before.

But now, the two of them were walking somewhere together. Were they going out to have fun?

Yun Shifei didn’t look as relaxed as she did when she was with Cheng Lie.

Her hands were stuffed into her pockets, and she walked with her head low.

What was going on?

Mu Chengzhu furrowed his brows.

He couldn’t help stepping forward to greet them.

"Brother Cheng Huai, Shifei, where are you two off to?"

Both of them turned to look at him.

Yun Shifei’s expression toward him was still the same as before, showing no particular differences.

If she were truly unwilling, her expression wouldn’t look like this, right?

In an instant, Mu Chengzhu felt like he had overthought things.

Yet he couldn’t explain why the more he thought about it, the more irritated he felt.

When had he ever done something as desperate as clinging to someone?

Even when he used to like Yun Sisi, he wasn’t this way.

Teenage boys are proud by nature.

He figured, if Yun Shifei didn’t care for him, then he wouldn’t shamelessly approach her anymore.

Cheng Huai was momentarily startled when he saw Mu Chengzhu.

The two of them rarely spoke. They might politely greet each other if their parents were present, but they never exchanged words otherwise.

And yet today, Mu Chengzhu had initiated a greeting and even asked where they were headed. How strange.

He glanced at the quiet girl standing beside him. Could this have something to do with Yun Shifei?

He had heard before that Yun Shifei liked Mu Chengzhu, but Mu Chengzhu didn’t like her.

Could it be that now...

Cheng Huai adjusted his glasses, finding the situation rather amusing.

It was fascinating how someone’s appearance could indirectly affect so many things.

"Shifei and I are going to sing karaoke," Cheng Huai replied. "She’s just been bored at home."

"Not really that bored. I still have lots of homework and unfinished study materials," Yun Shifei said with a slight smile.

"No big deal. I’m only taking two hours of your time. We’ll be back after that."

"Alright, let’s go. My friend should already be waiting at the community gate," she said.

Cheng Huai froze for a second. "Friend?"

Yun Shifei hadn’t mentioned that she was bringing anyone else along.

Yun Shifei seemed to remember something. "Oh, brother, I’m sorry. I forgot to tell you, my friend also wanted to come sing. You don’t mind, do you?"

Seeing the cautious look on her face, Cheng Huai could only suppress his annoyance. "I don’t mind."

Initially, he had accounted for only Yun Shifei and planned to use this opportunity to corner her a bit.

But unexpectedly, Yun Shifei had invited a friend along.

Mu Chengzhu, overhearing, realized that Yun Shifei didn’t actually want to go with Cheng Huai after all. She was just going along with it and had even invited her friend as backup.

He immediately felt guilty for misunderstanding her earlier.

The irritation he had felt moments ago morphed into remorse.

He turned to Cheng Huai. "Brother Cheng Huai, can I come along too?"

The question caught both Yun Shifei and Cheng Huai off guard.

On the way to the karaoke lounge, Cheng Huai’s face remained dark, and he didn’t speak to Yun Shifei again.

Meanwhile, Sun Xiaoqi clung to Yun Shifei’s arm, whispering discreetly to her.

"You never told me Mu Chengzhu would be coming too."

Mu Chengzhu was a well-known figure at Xinhua Middle School. Even though Sun Xiaoqi wasn’t in the same grade, she had heard of him.
