Others were eavesdropping at the door, and the teacher's voice was loud as she scolded her for the first time.
"What on earth have you done? Is this how you’ve been behaving in class lately? Where is your mind?"
Yun Li accepted the criticism, lowering her head and sincerely apologizing, "I'm sorry, teacher. I will adjust my attitude."
"You’re not apologizing to me; you’re apologizing to yourself."
"Tell me, is it because of a relationship problem?"
"If so, then break up as soon as possible. This relationship isn’t worth it if it’s going to ruin your path."
Yun Li remained calm, not shedding a single tear, her attitude earnest. "I will handle it well."
The others listened in fear, feeling anxious for Yun Li. Due to her recent mistakes in class, she had been switched to a different seat.
Yun Li felt dejected for a long time and couldn't help but message Jiang Shiyu again. There was no reply.
After class in the afternoon, she rushed to Jinghua Hangda to find Jiang Shiyu but couldn’t locate him. Qin Nianzhe also didn’t know where he had gone.
Lately, he had been hard to find, and noticing the issue between them, Qin Nianzhe said, "I’ll accompany you to look for him."
They arrived at Xiangyuan No. 1 and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Yun Li opened the door; the room was empty. Qin Nianzhe frowned and suggested, "Let’s check somewhere else! Maybe A Yu is out drinking."
Yun Li nodded, feeling lost as she went downstairs. Outside the community, she saw Jiang Shiyu's car pull up. Her eyes brightened as she prepared to approach the passenger seat when someone got out.
It was Shang Beibei, dressed in a knitted long dress and a chic little jacket, her long hair cascading gently down her back.
Jiang Shiyu also got out of the car and paused when he saw Yun Li.
Noticing his poor expression, Qin Nianzhe stepped forward and questioned him, "Why did you bring a girl to your house?"
Jiang Shiyu hesitated for just a moment before regaining his usual aloof demeanor, a hint of arrogance in his smile. "It’s my house; I can bring whoever I want."
Qin Nianzhe scoffed at this response. "Is that even human language?"
He stepped forward with the intent to confront him; although he might not win in a fight, he needed to vent his anger.
Yun Li quickly stepped in front of him to stop him.
Yun Li remained unusually calm. "Jiang Shiyu, let's talk."
With that, Yun Li turned and walked toward the fountain. Jiang Shiyu followed closely behind, while Shang Beibei stood with her arms crossed, chin raised in an arrogant manner, showing no concern whatsoever. Qin Nianzhe positioned himself slightly apart, standing guard against any potential trouble from Shang Beibei.
Noticing the tension, Shang Beibei scoffed dismissively.
Behind the fountain was a rockery, where Yun Li turned to face him, striving to steady her voice. "I've thought a lot these days. Are you tired because of me?"
Jiang Shiyu's expression was indifferent, lacking any enthusiasm. "Yeah."
Yun Li bit her lip and nodded, her eyes welling up with tears as she fought to hold them back. "So you don’t like me anymore, is that it?" She sought a clear answer, disliking the ambiguity.
"Not really," he replied casually, his tone nonchalant and carefree—this was indeed his style.
"I thought you had your reasons," she continued.
Jiang Shiyu merely laughed derisively. "Do I look like I have reasons?"
Indeed! No one could sway him; he would express both his likes and dislikes openly. Just as he had boldly declared his affection for someone special, making sure everyone knew he was in love, he also showed indifference when he wasn't interested—often saying nothing at all and offering only a glance.
Yun Li believed she was different; she thought she was the exception.
Looking up at him with glistening eyes, she said softly, "Let’s break up." After a pause, she added, "I wish you all the best."
Her heart felt like it had been pierced sharply, and her breathing became heavy in her chest. Jiang Shiyu lowered his gaze, his expression unreadable; though his lips still curled into a slight smile, it had become somewhat stiff.
Without hesitation, Yun Li turned and walked away. The moment the tears began to fall was inevitable. December in Jing City was bitterly cold; everyone wore thick coats and down jackets, but she felt fragile in her thin cotton jacket, her slender neck exposed to the frigid air.
With her hair tied back in a low ponytail and her ears flushed red from the cold, she walked steadily forward.
Jiang Shiyu reached out, her hand hovering in the air, her eyes filled with a deep, hidden frustration.
Qin Nianzhe chased after her, pointing at Jiang Shiyu and cursing, "You better wait for me!"
