"I'm not very interested," Yun Li said softly, her tone calm and untroubled.
Zheng Yating smirked slightly, pulling out her phone and flipping through it before tossing it onto the table in front of her. "Take a look for yourself."
Yun Li's gaze didn't drop to the phone; instead, she fixed her eyes on Zheng Yating, her expression teasing yet confident. Her subconscious urged her not to look, but her eyes betrayed her.
She lowered her gaze, seeing a screenshot of a message. At the top was a string of numbers, and below it, the words entered her vision:
"I liked you even before I turned seven. I really like you."
A faint ripple appeared in her calm eyes as she stared at the message for a long time. Suddenly, it felt as if her heart was filled with water, making it hard to breathe. The last reply from the other person read: "Thank you." There was no further response.
Yun Li maintained a good mindset, quickly adjusting her emotions without showing any expression. Her almond-shaped eyes held no trace of turmoil.
Zheng Yating retrieved her phone and spoke slowly, "This is what I found in Jiang Shiyu's messages. He sent this to someone else."
"Isn't it normal to have an ex?"
"Yes, it's normal," Zheng Yating replied. "What bothers me is that he liked someone for so long. I always thought he was a player who wouldn't settle down for anyone. But what if his wandering heart was because of that person?"
She chuckled suddenly, though there was no warmth in her laughter. "This doesn't make me resentful, but the fact that he still has feelings for that person while being with me feels like an insult to my emotions."
Yun Li listened quietly, her face serene while beneath the surface, her hand had clenched tightly, nails digging into her flesh.
"I know you don't believe me because you haven't seen how he protects that person," Zheng Yating continued. "When he realized I had touched his phone, he changed completely—he became cold and terrifying, staring at me without mercy and saying, 'What right do you have to touch my things?' That was the spark that led to our big fight."
"He doesn't allow me to say anything bad about that girl; he won't even let me mention her name."
Yun Li asked softly, "Would you allow someone you love to still hold feelings for another person?"
The words struck her like a jolt to the soul, leaving her momentarily stunned, her gaze vacant. She froze, sitting there alone until the ice in her coffee melted and waves of people flowed in and out of the café. Gradually, her thoughts began to return.
She stood up and left. Exiting the mall, she looked at the bustling traffic and lively street scene outside. The sky was painted with the hues of sunset, and a gentle breeze brushed against her face, lifting strands of hair at her temples. The heaviness in her heart began to dissipate.
She would find her own answers; she needed to hear what Jiang Shiyu had to say. From the very beginning, she had believed in him wholeheartedly, trusting him more than she trusted herself. She wasn't sure how others experienced love, but for her, it meant giving herself completely to another person. Her parents had been the same way, which influenced her views on love.
On Jiang Shiyu's birthday, a few friends organized a celebration for him. They invited many people to a private room in a club, which was spacious and had areas designated for drinking and games. Most of the guests were unfamiliar to Yun Li; she tucked her pen into her colorful canvas bag without taking it out.
Many gifts were brought for him, piled high on a table designated for presents. He tossed them aside without even glancing at them. Each gift was more exquisite than the last, appearing quite expensive. Most of his friends came from wealthy families and were not lacking in money; many sought to curry favor with him.
Jiang Shiyu knew whom he could form deeper connections with and whom he could not. He never minded mingling with those who invited him; the more people there were, the livelier it became. After the excitement faded, everyone returned to their own lives without any ties.
He observed everything with indifference, never letting it weigh on his heart. When Chi Zhi Yu arrived, he sat on a high stool and poured himself a drink. Jiang Shiyu took a light sip while Yun Li played Go with Qin Nianchu.
