This realization inexplicably irritated Cheng Lie.
At this moment, Cheng Lie couldn’t figure out where this feeling was coming from.
Having been used by others so much in the past, if someone suddenly showed kindness to him without any hidden agenda, it naturally made him feel particularly strange and uneasy.
Yun Shifei didn’t know that the casual words she’d spoken had unexpectedly planted a seed of interest in Song Yang’s mind.
He finally found a legitimate excuse to talk to Yun Sisi!
After school in the afternoon, Song Yang waited near the school gate and caught Yun Sisi.
At that moment, Yun Sisi was joking and laughing with Mu Jiayu. When she suddenly noticed Song Yang staring at them from the roadside, she was startled.
Song Yang was notoriously a delinquent at school. He frequently fought and skipped classes, and despite countless reprimands, he remained incorrigible.
Yun Sisi was most afraid of boys like Song Yang, especially since he harbored inappropriate thoughts about her.
For example, at this moment, Song Yang’s expression, with his eyes practically glowing green as he stared at her, sent chills down Yun Sisi’s spine.
"Sisi." Before Yun Sisi could avoid him and walk away, Song Yang was already striding forward.
"What do you want?" Yun Sisi suppressed her inner disgust and looked at Song Yang.
"Yun Shifei, that ugly... is she really your sister?"
He had instinctively wanted to call Yun Shifei ugly, but upon considering Yun Sisi’s presence, he decided to hold back a bit.
"What’s wrong?" Yun Sisi didn’t confirm the statement but wanted to see what Song Yang intended to say.
"So she really is your sister? You don’t look alike at all."
Song Yang stared unblinkingly at Yun Sisi. He had to admit, Yun Sisi really was a delicate and stunning beauty.
Even in the same school uniform, the girl beside her could be considered sweet and lovely, but Yun Sisi was more refined, with an added touch of classical elegance. Her fair skin was so flawless up close that it didn’t show a single imperfection.
She was like an exquisite porcelain doll.
Thinking about Yun Shifei with her dark complexion, Song Yang couldn’t reconcile the idea of Yun Shifei being related to Yun Sisi.
Other than their shared surname, what else did they have in common?
"She’s my sister." After saying this, Yun Sisi sighed deeply.
Then she asked Song Yang, "Why are you asking about this?"
"I just wanted to confirm why you don’t look alike at all." Song Yang smirked slightly.
"We..." Yun Sisi paused briefly, as if suddenly struck with an idea. Her expression grew increasingly sorrowful, as though she was too embarrassed to speak. "We’re not biological siblings. I was adopted from the orphanage. She’s the Yun Family’s biological daughter and returned only a month ago."
Song Yang let out an "Oh." So that’s how it was. It explained why Yun Shifei had appeared in their class out of nowhere and why her rustic demeanor was so different from the children who grew up in the city.
After hearing Yun Sisi’s explanation, Song Yang finally understood.
So that’s how it was.
Looking at Yun Sisi’s expression, which seemed extraordinarily sad, Song Yang couldn’t understand—shouldn’t the return of her sister be a joyful event?
But then again, it made sense. Since Yun Sisi was adopted, the return of the biological daughter naturally meant the adopted one would lose favor.
Thinking about Yun Shifei’s appearance and then glancing at the fragile Yun Sisi, anger suddenly flared up in Song Yang’s heart.
"Sisi, does Yun Shifei often bully you at home?"
"No... My sister wouldn’t bully me." Yun Sisi denied immediately.
Mu Jiayu, who had been silent and listening for a while, finally seized the opportunity to interject.
"Sisi, don’t keep defending Yun Shifei. Song Yang, Yun Shifei does bully Sisi frequently. Back when Sisi spent time with me, she was carefree and happy. But now, she hardly ever smiles."
