She blinked, her long eyelashes trembling, her eyes like a pool of water, reflecting Xu Yuejiao’s image. Even just quietly watching others, she looked like a delicate porcelain doll. Xu Yuejiao felt a surge of annoyance as she saw her like this. So beautiful, yet so insecure! She thought she might need to praise Yun Shifei ten times a day to restore her confidence. But then Yun Shifei said, "Sister, you don’t know, that boy, he’s really going to achieve great things in the future, far surpassing everyone around me." Yun Shifei spoke so earnestly, but Xu Yuejiao didn’t take it seriously at all. She had another thought altogether: Yun Shifei must be head-over-heels for that boy. Otherwise, why would she already start talking about how amazing he’ll be in the future? Is this what they call love making someone look perfect? Looking at this innocent little cousin, Xu Yuejiao felt deeply concerned, fearing the boy might prove unreliable and break Shi Fei’s heart someday. "Why don’t you take me to meet him sometime?" Xu Yuejiao’s suggestion startled Yun Shifei. Before she could say anything, Xu Yuejiao continued, "Speaking of which, I haven’t visited your place before. When’s your winter break? Can I visit you during the holidays?" Yun Shifei: "..." Why is Xu Yuejiao so nosy? "Sister Jiaojiao, I don’t even know if I’ll end up with that boy. Don’t take it so seriously." Cheng Lie still has autism. Although he likes playing with her... but, sigh... Does his kind of liking mean the same as hers? It feels absurd that she likes him, like she’s some creepy old uncle, while Cheng Lie still looks like a kid. Besides, if Cheng Lie found out she had feelings for him, then... Thinking about it, Yun Shifei covered her face, feeling it’s just not right—it can’t be like this! Xu Yuejiao was still talking: "What’s there to be afraid of? You’ll meet eventually anyway. I just want to make sure he’s trustworthy so you won’t get hurt." Hearing Xu Yuejiao’s seriousness, as if she really was planning to meet Cheng Lie, Yun Shifei anxiously said, "Sister Jiaojiao, you’re not allowed to come. I’m just sharing my thoughts with you. If you act like this, I won’t dare tell you anything in the future." Seeing that Yun Shifei was a bit upset, Xu Yuejiao dared not press further. She realized it was true—Yun Shifei originally didn’t want to say anything, and it was only because she coaxed her little cousin into sharing. If she kept pushing, Yun Shifei might completely shut her out. But there was no rush anyway; after all, their college entrance exams were coming soon. "Alright, alright, don’t be mad. I was just teasing you. The exams are so stressful lately—let’s focus our energy on studying for now," Xu Yuejiao quickly changed the topic. Yun Shifei, seeing she wasn’t bringing up the relationship issue anymore, nodded: "Of course studying is the priority. Even if I do like someone, everything has to wait until after the exams." Thinking about this, Yun Shifei felt a tightness in her chest. Waiting until after the exams. But before the exams came, Cheng Lie was already gone. She thought back on the past. When exactly did Cheng Lie leave? What month was it? Yun Shifei couldn’t remember. It seemed to have been during the second semester, but she couldn’t recall the exact time. After all, back then, because of the slanderous accusations against her, she had deliberately avoided thinking about Cheng Lie, leaving only vague impressions. Even Cheng Lie’s later achievements were just a hazy memory to her, and now she remembered even less. Moreover, with her rebirth, many things had changed—could it be that Cheng Lie’s situation would change too? Yun Shifei kept thinking about it until Xu Yuejiao had already fallen asleep, while she remained wide awake. Moonlight streamed through the window, piercing the curtains and making the room look less dark. Yun Shifei lay on her side, gazing at the moonlight outside. She had said before: if Cheng Lie changed because of her and couldn’t become a great figure anymore, then she’d just take good care of him. She thought, since he’s the Cheng Family’s illegitimate child and Cheng Guomin and Zhao Haishuang clearly didn’t care for him, they probably wouldn’t support him for life. So she could... Go along with Cheng Guomin’s wishes—if he wanted a business marriage, then so be it. Thinking about this, Yun Shifei’s face turned red again. Sigh, what is she even imagining! The next day, Cheng Lie went to class and saw Yun Shifei had taken leave, his expression cold. She didn’t come to class—and she hadn’t even told him. The teacher specially said to him, "Cheng Lie, Shi Fei’s grandmother is sick. She’s gone home to visit her." Knowing about Cheng Lie’s unique situation and seeing how close he was to Yun Shifei, the teacher explained to him why Yun Shifei was absent. Yun Shifei’s grandmother was sick? No wonder she left in such a hurry. Before, if anything happened, she would always tell him. Thinking about Yun Shifei’s grandmother being ill, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but worry. Would she be crying secretly again? I hope it’s not something serious. All day, Cheng Lie couldn’t focus on his lessons, although the teacher and classmates paid him little attention. After all, he was always like this. A boy with autism—he was only attending class because his family was wealthy. As long as he didn’t disrupt the class, who cared what he was doing? Cheng Lie finished his lessons quietly, packed his belongings slowly, and went home. Uncle Liu noticed Yun Shifei’s absence and asked Cheng Lie, "Miss Yun didn’t come to class today?" He found it odd since Miss Yun would usually come even if she had a cold or fever, as long as it wasn’t too serious. Hearing Uncle Liu’s concern for Yun Shifei, Cheng Lie cast him a glance. This inexplicable look made Uncle Liu’s heart skip a beat—he thought he had misspoken. But Cheng Lie replied slowly, "She had something at home." Ah, so that’s it. To think the young master would actually respond to his question—Uncle Liu felt pleasantly surprised. Having worked alongside Cheng Lie for so many years, Uncle Liu rarely heard him speak, let alone answer questions. Because of this, Uncle Liu chatted with Cheng Lie while driving: "Young Master, Sir has been making great efforts to get treatment for your condition. He even consulted foreign experts and plans to take you abroad for further treatment." Besides serving Cheng Lie, Uncle Liu also drove Cheng Guomin. Naturally, he was familiar with Cheng Guomin’s plans and activities. A few days ago, Cheng Guomin had him drive to a restaurant to meet someone—the person was a friend of one of those foreign experts. Hearing this, Cheng Lie’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but he said nothing. "I’m sure the Young Master will be as healthy as the eldest young master someday," Uncle Liu added cheerfully. He genuinely hoped Cheng Lie could grow up to be like other normal kids. After all, Cheng Lie was about the same age as his own child, and he had practically watched Cheng Lie grow up. Having accompanied him so often, Uncle Liu had developed a fatherly attachment to the boy over time. As healthy as Cheng Huai, huh... Cheng Lie lowered his gaze, hiding the contempt flickering in his eyes. Cheng Huai wasn’t healthy—he was brainless.
