Yun Shifei had no idea how long it took for her to calm her emotions.Originally, she thought the date was under her control, but unexpectedly, Cheng Lie ended up taking charge of everything. Thinking about that kiss on the Ferris wheel, Cheng Lie had only kissed her forehead briefly before letting go. But why did Yun Shifei still feel her mind spinning? Oh no, oh no, she felt herself sinking deeper into this "poison." As if on cue, the boy behind her suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Can you kiss me too?" Yun Shifei nearly stumbled. She turned around to look at the boy in front of her. Under the sunlight, his face took on a subtle warmth, less pale than usual, and his dark eyes seemed to gleam with a soft radiance. He was quietly gazing at her, his expression serious. Yun Shifei took a deep breath and said solemnly to Cheng Lie, "Cheng Lie, you are not allowed to kiss others randomly from now on, understand? Showing affection can’t be expressed through kissing." Her tone even carried a rare hint of sternness. Though it might be customary abroad, in their conservative country, she hadn’t expected the usually cold and unapproachable Cheng Lie to be so impulsive. It was almost too much for her heart to handle. Upon hearing her words, Cheng Lie’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but he kept staring at Yun Shifei intently. "Then can I only kiss Shifei?" Yun Shifei: "..." She realized she could no longer reason with Cheng Lie. Explaining to him would require defining the differences between familial love, friendship, and romantic love, along with explaining societal norms like how men and women should maintain proper boundaries. She wasn’t even sure if Cheng Lie would understand in the end. It was only because she liked Cheng Lie that she didn’t outright reject him. If it were someone else, she probably would’ve cut ties immediately. Still, she couldn’t help but find it odd. Cheng Lie used to not kiss her, so why now, after she discovered her feelings for him, did he suddenly kiss her? Thankfully it happened now—if it had happened earlier, she might’ve called the police. Yet, his control of boundaries was oddly precise. Yun Shifei couldn’t help but seriously scrutinize Cheng Lie. He really doesn’t know anything, does he? If Cheng Lie were merely pretending, what reason would he have to fake it? Besides, how could anyone sustain an act so flawlessly for so long? Even after spending so much time with him, she hadn’t uncovered a single flaw in his behavior. Yun Shifei still trusted her instincts. However, after that, the amusement park didn’t hold her interest anymore. Back home, Yun Shifei found herself constantly reminiscing about that kiss. She thought about the soft, slightly damp sensation of the kiss, and the faint scent of pine on the boy. She couldn’t resist touching her forehead, her face growing hotter and redder. Later that evening, Mu Chengzhu unexpectedly came to find her. He placed a box of candies on the table. "Shifei, Merry Christmas. Want to take a stroll outside? I heard there’s an event at the mall near our block tonight." Yun Shifei shook her head. "I’m not going." Yun Tiancheng said to Mu Chengzhu, "This girl has been out playing with Cheng Lie all day; now she’s tired. Chengzhu, you should take your sister out instead." Upon hearing Yun Shifei had been out with Cheng Lie, Mu Chengzhu couldn’t help but feel a bit unsettled for some reason. Why was she always so close to Cheng Lie? Could it really be because she liked him? Mu Chengzhu pressed his lips together and decided to sit beside Yun Shifei, playing with the baby while asking her, "Shifei, where did you go today?" His question sounded more like he was probing for details. Yun Shifei frowned slightly but still answered him, "The amusement park." "Isn’t Cheng Lie sick? How could he handle those activities?" Mu Chengzhu asked, surprised. "What does being sick have to do with it? Do you look down on people who are ill? He’s fine; there’s nothing he can’t do." Now whenever Yun Shifei saw Mu Chengzhu, she felt annoyed. She had already made it clear she didn’t like him, but Mu Chengzhu seemed to cling to her even more. Yun Shifei wished she could sever ties with Mu Chengzhu completely, and she thought perhaps her previous attempts to reject him had been too gentle, leading him to misunderstand her feelings as acceptance instead. So, she decided to try a more confrontational approach this time. After all, no matter how calculating Mu Chengzhu might be, he always maintained an air of refinement on the surface. Even if he got mad, he wouldn’t dare do anything to her. Their relationship hadn’t reached the point of him harming her for personal gain, as he had in their previous life. Facing the enemy she had in her past life, even if he was innocent now, Yun Shifei still felt that staying far away from him was more than generous. She couldn’t bring herself to coexist peacefully with him. Especially when he kept trying to get close to her. Mu Chengzhu was momentarily speechless after being rebuffed by Yun Shifei. After a long pause, he finally said, "I didn’t mean to look down on him. It’s just that amusement parks are crowded and the rides can be intense; they might not be suitable for Cheng Lie." "Then what do you think Cheng Lie should do for fun? If you’re not him, how can you understand his joy? Don’t impose your views on him." Mu Chengzhu: "..." How had Yun Shifei suddenly become so sharp-tongued after just a few days? Yun Shifei stood up and said to Mu Chengzhu, "I’m tired; I’m going upstairs to sleep." "Alright, rest early." She passed by the coffee table, glanced at the box of candies, and said, "Also, I don’t like sweets anymore; take them back." "Then what do you like? I’ll get it for you next time." Mu Chengzhu’s eagerness to please her was almost overly flattering. Yun Shifei looked at Mu Chengzhu with a blank expression. "Whatever you buy, I don’t like it." She felt that she had made her sentiments clear this time. Surely, Mu Chengzhu would understand now. Mu Chengzhu had seen how Yun Shifei’s gaze softened like water whenever she looked at Cheng Lie, and how her words to him were always gentle, obedient, even sweet. But when she spoke to him, it was as though she turned into a hedgehog, wanting to wrap herself in spikes, uncaring if she hurt him. No, it seemed she actually wanted him to hurt. It felt like no matter what Mu Chengzhu gave Yun Shifei lately, she rejected it, disliked it. To him, this was an incredibly powerless feeling. From childhood until now, Mu Chengzhu had never lacked girls chasing after him, but he had never cared for any of them. Finally, he found someone to connect with Yun Sisi, only to realize she had been deceiving him all along, leaving him disgusted. Afterward, he gradually began to notice how different Yun Shifei was. The more he paid attention, the more he discovered the quiet and well-behaved girl was unlike what he had previously thought. He found himself deeply drawn to her. Though timid, she was kind and gentle, always treating everyone so generously. Despite her poor academic performance, she never gave up, constantly working hard to improve, eventually achieving admirable results... Mu Chengzhu felt there were countless qualities about Yun Shifei that attracted him. She had unknowingly transformed his disdain for her into affection. But she didn’t like him at all—in fact, she could be said to loathe him. All because of the dream they shared, where he killed her.
