Her cheeks quickly flushed and swelled.
"Can't even take care of a child, useless." Shi Yi blinked her dry eyes, her voice still calm. "Old Jiang won't let anyone go; it’s useless no matter how many times we try to capture him."
Old Master Shi snorted coldly. "Then let's target his weaknesses."
Jiang Shiyu had retrieved his phone. As soon as he turned it on, he prepared to contact Yun Li but saw dozens of missed calls, including from Qin Nianchu, Qin Nianzhe, and most notably, Yun Li. He immediately dialed Yun Li back.
As soon as he connected, he heard her voice. "Hao Hao, I'm sorry for the urgency these past few days."
Yun Li remained silent; her voice was still hoarse. She quietly waited for Jiang Shiyu to explain about the girl.
"Where are you? I'm looking for you."
Yun Li felt a pang of disappointment when she received no answer. Sitting on her dormitory bed, she resolutely hung up the phone. On her tablet resting on her knees was Shu Ran's face. Yes, that was how Hao Hao was—without even an explanation, don’t easily forgive him.
Just after hanging up, Yun Li sent a message to Jiang Shiyu: "At school."
Ran Ran, he probably wants to explain in person. Yun Li's voice was hoarse and unpleasant; Shu Ran felt heartbroken for her.
"Your voice is in such bad shape; what if you end up arguing later? Can your throat handle it?"
Only then did Yun Li realize how bad her voice had become.
Jiang Shiyu quickly replied, "Okay."
"Don't come over; I'm busy and don't have time."
Sitting in the car, Jiang Shiyu read the message and understood that the young girl was angry. It was understandable; if he hadn’t received a single message in two days, he would have been anxious too.
Jiang Shiyu had finally left.
Yun Li stood on the balcony, looking down, just in time to meet his gaze as he looked up. Seeing that he wasn't lingering, a heavy weight lifted from her heart.
Qin Nianchu came over and pulled her away. "Don't be soft-hearted; you need to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he'll think he can keep playing these games."
"I’m here on Miss Shu Ran’s orders to keep an eye on you and make sure you don’t meet him."
"Yun Li, when did you two become so close? Weren't you just at odds with each other before?"
"That was me being magnanimous and not holding a grudge against her."
Yun Li felt restless, her gaze involuntarily drifting back to the balcony.
Qin Nianchu urged her to leave. With a stern face and arms crossed, she coldly stared at Jiang Shiyu. "Li Li doesn’t want to see you today; you should go!"
Jiang Shiyu shot her a glance, took out a cigarette, and lit it. "Qin Nianchu, you’ve been gossiping about me around Hao Hao all day, and I haven’t even settled the score with you yet."
Qin Nianchu was amused by his anger. "Gossip? If you hadn’t done anything wrong, would I have anything to gossip about?"
Jiang Shiyu paused, lowering his eyes as he exhaled a puff of smoke. "Is she feeling any better?"
Qin Nianchu scoffed lightly. "Thanks to you, she’s still not well."
"She’s sick right now and doesn’t have time to argue with you."
He said: "Take good care of her. If I find out she’s not well, I’ll come looking for you."
After he left, Yun Li quickly asked, "What did he say?"
"He said he’d come find you another day."
"Oh!"
Yun Li lay on the bed, looking at the chat window where he had just messaged her to take her medicine and rest early.
"Is that all?"
She wanted him to explain a few things over the phone, hoping it would ease her heart a little. After all this time without a word of explanation, she felt frustrated.
Yun Li angrily put her phone down, deciding not to think about him anymore. After a nap, her head and body felt better, but she still had a cough, and her throat remained hoarse.
Yun Li didn't even want to talk anymore; it was exhausting for her to speak, and she knew it would be just as tiring for others to listen.
