CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 387 I NO LONGER LIKE HER

"Actually, I once thought you might end up with Mu Chengzhu," Sun Xiaoqi said softly. "Back then, you two did seem like a good match."

She paused before adding, "Of course, I’m speaking in terms of appearances, nothing more. Overall, you’re definitely the most compatible with Cheng Lie."

Back then, in that distant past—perhaps even a past life—they were the perfect couple.

At that time, when she liked Mu Chengzhu, many people thought she was like a toad lusting after a swan.

Yet now, many people think she and Mu Chengzhu are a better match.

Yun Shifei smiled lightly. "He and I? We’re not a match at all. Not even in this lifetime."

As soon as she thought about how, in her past life, he had pushed her off that building, Yun Shifei still felt a lingering fear.

Seeing Yun Shifei so calmly and indifferently drawing a line, Sun Xiaoqi understood that she truly felt nothing for him anymore. Nodding, Sun Xiaoqi said, "You’re right. You and he will never be together in this lifetime. Cheng Lie is much better—devoted and sincere, unlike Mu Chengzhu, who’s fickle."

At this point, Sun Xiaoqi grew curious. "By the way, Song Yang used to be so smitten with Yun Sisi. I wonder what his reaction would be if he heard about Yun Sisi marrying Mu Chengzhu."

"When did they break up?" Yun Shifei asked, a bit intrigued.

Sun Xiaoqi shrugged. "I have no idea. Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard anything about Song Yang."

Just as she finished speaking, a voice sounded from behind them. "Interested in hearing some news about me?"

The familiar voice stunned both Yun Shifei and Sun Xiaoqi.

Sun Xiaoqi turned her head and saw a man with short hair. Gone was the youthful awkwardness of his teen years. He also seemed less rebellious, now exuding a much steadier aura.

Sun Xiaoqi exclaimed in surprise, "Song Yang?"

"Yeah, it’s me. What’s the matter? Talking behind my back and got caught?"

Sun Xiaoqi immediately felt a bit embarrassed. "Not at all. We were just chatting about Yun Sisi and happened to think of you. When we left school, my cousin enrolled in Xinhua, and even he had heard about your legendary pursuit of Yun Sisi."

At her words, Song Yang’s face showed no particular emotion. After a long pause, he finally said, "I don’t like her anymore."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Yun Shifei, who sat calmly across from him.

It had been a long time since he last saw her. To his astonishment, the girl he used to mock as an "ugly duckling" had truly undergone a transformation, like a duckling becoming a swan overnight. She had become extraordinarily stunning.

She sat there quietly, her face expressionless, yet her delicate features, fair skin, and serene temperament with a hint of classical charm captivated everyone. Even passersby couldn’t help but glance her way.

In truth, Song Yang had already noticed them when they walked into the restaurant to eat.

He had been debating whether to say hello.

After all, their relationship in the past hadn’t been good. He had even pulled pranks on Yun Shifei for Yun Sisi’s sake. Thinking of those incidents now filled him with shame.

But when he heard them mention him during their conversation, he finally couldn’t resist speaking up.

When Yun Shifei noticed Song Yang staring at her, she smiled warmly at him.

"Song Yang, long time no see."

Song Yang vividly remembered the things he’d done to her all those years ago. At one point, he had given her a necklace, but she had returned it to him.

Now, his eyes flicked to her neck, where she wore a delicate necklace that looked beautiful on her. He wondered who had given it to her.

The necklace accentuated her slender collarbone perfectly.

Back then, he had thought she would never forgive him.

But he hadn’t expected that, when they met again now, she would smile and greet him as if nothing had happened.

A deep sense of guilt welled up in Song Yang’s heart.

He had only targeted Yun Shifei back then because Yun Sisi had urged him to. In retrospect, Yun Sisi must have been lying the entire time.

But at the time, he’d been so blinded by infatuation that he hadn’t noticed.

Song Yang wanted to ask Yun Shifei how she was doing these days, but recalling their past animosity, he could only reply, "Long time no see."

Sun Xiaoqi, always eager for gossip, pressed Song Yang further about Yun Sisi: "Do you know how she ended up marrying Mu Chengzhu again?"

"She’s always liked him," Song Yang replied.

He later realized that Yun Sisi had always been in love with Mu Chengzhu. To her, he had only ever been a fool—a convenient meal ticket. Whenever she needed something, she’d just stretch out her hand, and he’d obediently provide it.

What a delightful arrangement for her.

Now that he thought about it, the whole situation seemed painfully ironic.

Hearing Song Yang’s words, Sun Xiaoqi didn’t dare ask further. This... Although she didn’t harbor feelings for Song Yang, she couldn’t bring herself to pour salt into his wounds at this moment.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry. I think Yun Sisi isn’t anything special anyway. Song Yang, with your qualities, you’ll definitely find someone better," Sun Xiaoqi said to comfort him.

"I already have," Song Yang replied.

His response surprised not only Sun Xiaoqi but also Yun Shifei, who froze for a moment.

Yet, an image of a girl’s face suddenly appeared in Yun Shifei’s mind. Back when Song Yang and Yun Sisi were dating, that girl had once come to her for help in absolute desperation.

Could it be her?

Song Yang seemed to sense that Yun Shifei had guessed, so he said, "Shi Fei, you probably know her."

"Su Ni?"

Song Yang nodded. He hadn’t initially thought about being with Su Ni.

But during the time when he was at his lowest, Su Ni had been the one by his side.

Over time, he came to realize that this quiet and reserved girl had feelings for him.

Gradually, he began to develop feelings for her as well. So, he figured, why not give it a try?

They had now been dating for a few months, and to his surprise, he found their relationship surprisingly sweet.

In the past, his relationship with Yun Sisi had always been one of relentless chasing. Whatever Yun Sisi wanted, he bought without hesitation, yet she never thought to give him anything in return.

At that time, "love" to him meant an exhausting pursuit.

But being with Su Ni was entirely different.

She would gift him handmade items or buy him little things he’d wanted but never bought for himself.

She noticed his preferences and treasured them, making him feel an unprecedented sense of happiness.

Yun Shifei, seeing that he was now with Su Ni, couldn’t help but reflect. She had long known how deeply that girl liked Song Yang, and now that her love was reciprocated, Yun Shifei felt genuinely happy for her.

What Song Yang didn’t know was that Yun Shifei and Su Ni had already reconciled before this.

Feeling guilty, Song Yang said, "I really owe you an apology for what happened back at school."

He couldn’t help but recall the times when he and Su Ni had tormented Yun Shifei so badly. Even now, those memories haunted him.

Yun Shifei waved it off. "It’s fine. Really."

After a brief pause, she smiled and added, "But if you really want to apologize, why not show some sincerity?"
