Rumors spread quickly within small circles, and Yun Shifei had explained them one by one.
She felt like she had let Cheng Lie down once again.
"Did I drag you down again?" Yun Shifei said awkwardly. "Maybe we shouldn't go home together anymore."
Even though the innocent should remain innocent, she thought, what's the point if others didn't believe in her innocence?
Cheng Lie lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he raised them to look at her. "Are you planning to abandon me?"
Those deep black eyes stared at her unwaveringly, as though accusing her of something. Yun Shifei quickly waved her hands. "No, that's not what I mean. I'm just afraid they'll say bad things about you."
Why did she suddenly feel guilty?
"It doesn't matter. I don't care."
"Oh," Yun Shifei replied.
Since he said that, she felt relieved.
She smiled brightly at Cheng Lie. "I don't care either."
